Hey @manjunath-nuveb, cloud you test if it appears in v6.0.0 ?

If i try to play this in iOS simulator (iOS 17.0) on 6.0.0-beta.0:

 source={{
          uri: "https://cdn.bitmovin.com/content/assets/art-of-motion-dash-hls-progressive/mpds/f08e80da-bf1d-4e3d-8899-f0f6155f6efa.mpd",
          type: "mpd"
        }}

throws:

{"error": 
       {"code": -11828, 
"domain": "AVFoundationErrorDomain", 
"localizedDescription": "Cannot Open", 
"localizedFailureReason": "This media format is not supported.", 
"localizedRecoverySuggestion": ""
  },
 "target": 5025
}

when I try:

 source={{
          uri: "https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8"
        }}

it throws:

{"error":
 {
   "code": -12746,
 "domain": "CoreMediaErrorDomain",
 "localizedDescription": "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12746.)",
 "localizedFailureReason": "",
 "localizedRecoverySuggestion": ""
  },
 "target": 2535
}

when I try to play some of my remote .mp4 throws: (i believe it's an encoding issue of the files though)

{"error":
 {"code": -11800,
 "domain": "AVFoundationErrorDomain",
 "localizedDescription": "The operation could not be completed", 
"localizedFailureReason": "An unknown error occurred (-12746)",
 "localizedRecoverySuggestion": ""
}
, "target": 5025}

On Android 13 emulator all of the above load fine.

Dash is not supported on ios first point closed. For the other issue, you need to check xcode logs to understand the issue better I think. Did you try with the sample in this repo ? It would be better to test on the V6 version also !

Same issue as above,i got this errors both on 5.2.1 and 6.0.0-beta.2 @freeboub and getLicense will never be called

{"error": {"code": 1718449215, "domain": "CoreMediaErrorDomain", "localizedDescription": "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error 1718449215.)", "localizedFailureReason": "", "localizedRecoverySuggestion": ""}, "target": 19343}

@manjunath-nuveb I have just tested both video in sample app with V6.0.0 version, they work fine on my side (I just add to check my emulator date & time). @Jianlong-Nie This is a different issue. both video are clear, getLicense shall not be called. Let's close this issue, if you have more information on the issue let me know

hi @freeboub
with this url https://cdn.bitmovin.com/content/assets/art-of-motion-dash-hls-progressive/m3u8s/f08e80da-bf1d-4e3d-8899-f0f6155f6efa.m3u8 I'm getting the following in IOS only. Same URL works for android

{
  "error": {
    "localizedRecoverySuggestion": "",
    "domain": "NSURLErrorDomain",
    "localizedFailureReason": "",
    "localizedDescription": "resource unavailable",
    "code": -1008
  },
  "target": 19
}

[manjunath-nuveb]

@freeboub using https://demo.unified-streaming.com/k8s/features/stable/video/tears-of-steel/tears-of-steel.ism/.m3u8 in IOS video is showing a black screen. Again works fine on android

@freeboub any fixes on this issue ? when playing the live streaming source with '.m3u8' format I'm seeing the same issue on iOS side, Android works fine though "react-native-video": "6.0.0-beta.3", ...the issue is same on the latest beta build as well "6.0.0-beta.8"

{ target: 2513,
  error: 
   { localizedDescription: 'The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12746.)',
     domain: 'CoreMediaErrorDomain',
     localizedFailureReason: '',
     localizedRecoverySuggestion: '',
     code: -12746 
   } 
}

Any updates on this would be really helpful.

@ardneved do you reproduce it with the sample from the repository?
