Trying to use my iPhone (iOS 7.1.2) to watch a recorded show and Safari keeps crashing on me… Didn’t before, Tried 5 different times with different shows. About 8 seconds it the stream…poof.
Live stream is working however.
I just tested it on my wife’s iphone 5S, and it had no problems playing back live tv or recordings. However, it is not on 7.1.2 yet.
Mine is an iPhone 5 so it’s not that dated. The changes in 7.1.2 should have nothing to do with this… since the changes in the new webapp have changed the behaviour, I don’t think it’s my iPhone.
@ltldevl that is strange – once the video player launches, you’re in iOS’s hands in their native player and the web-app goes dormant (and we don’t have a choice in this matter). Which iPhone model are you using?
@ltldevl we managed to reproduce it – happened on iPhone and iPad for remote playback only. Turned out to be related to VideoJS – the simple fact of initializing it caused this symptom. Since iOS natively supports HLS via the HTML5 video tag, we ignore VideoJS for iOS.
