Airplay edge&chrome

    Hi Guys,
    All is working well here for the most part. Trying to document airplay issues.
    Our clips from peertube are all good, all browsers from iPad. But if we are Chrome or Edge, Clips that are M3U8 – “Airplay” icon flashes on and then disappears. Clips from peertube are fine everywhere. Sample clips on the same page for testing. Chromecast seems to work everywhere on iPad.
    Let me know if you need more info.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hello Steve,

    I tried your videos on Android 13 with Chrome.

    The “Platform Technology, “Mercy_Ortho”, “Ford_January” and “The Radiator Spring 500” videos would not play, it shows:

    PeerTube error: Token is invalid

    “MSH test”, “Air Play?”, “test ThinQ VOD” and “News Live” played and casted without issues.

    These also played fine via Airplay when using Safari on macOS or on iPad.

    However I see that when using Chrome on iPad it does not work with Airplay.

    The reason is that it then uses HLS.js to play the HLS stream which is not compatible with Airplay.

    We use HLS.js with Safari to increase the video protection. It seems to me perhaps we could only do that if the DRM text is activated for the video – meaning you do not want the video to be screen recorded, so it means sense to not allow Airplay nor Chromecast for it.

    So as a part of that we could fix it to not use HLS.js on these alternative browsers on iPad.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I have fixed the token issue – This just happened over the week-end – I had to manually refresh – unsure why.
    Can you try them now?

    I am trying to understand your response on HLS.js , So are you saying that there could be a switch to use it or not to enable better airplay experience?

    Hello Steve,

    We will be adding a “Disable AirPlay and Chromecast” setting for the DRM Text feature. These features let you play the video with the DRM text watermark.

    So without this setting enabled we will use the native HLS playback, if possible. That should fix it for all these alternative browsers on iPad.

    I’m not sure why the PeerTube token would fail to refresh for you, specially it as happens every hour.

    Please deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin you are using, then hit “Install Pro extension” at the top of the wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings screen.

    Then set wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Pro Features -> Debug -> Verbose. That will create a log file where all the PeerTube token refreshing errors will be logged. You should be seeing this line in it every hour:

    PeerTube Succeeded at refreshing the token.

    Or maybe you will discover some error there.

    Thanks,
    Martin
