Unable to play live HLS video #38

I am unable to play any live HLS video, even using the very basic demo application. Playing the live video gives me an instant Video Playback Error.

Here is the output from the console:

ErrorType : Video Playback Error ErrorMessage : Video source not available or supported ErrorStack : Error at ErrorHandler.genStack (http://localhost:3000/js/error-handler.js:172:21) at PlayerView. (http://localhost:3000/js/player-view.js:173:57)

I am using the sample simple-live and have only changed the videoUrl to a working URL inside the genericLiveData JSON.

{ "id": "live-id-1", "title": "NASA Live Stream", "thumbURL": "assets/l11.jpg", "imgURL": "assets/nasa-logo.jpg", "videoURL": "https://nasa-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/253566/NTV-Media/master.m3u8", "type": "video-live", "alwaysLive": true, "description": "The NASA Live Public TV Channel." }

Are you using Chrome Desktop? It doesn't support HLS. Try another browser.

Thanks, that was it! Works on Safari in MacOS.
