This does not load in AVPlayer: "Failed to load video: Cannot Parse" GVRVideoView uses AVPlayer internally. Does this load in AVPlayer outside of GVRVideoView?

Hello @sanjayc77, In iOS 10.3 or higher version, I can play HLS stream. Is there any difference between this version?

Thanks,

Hi @sanjayc77

The issue we are seeing here is that this 360 video (http://v.zigbang.com/360/14029/main/master.m3u8) plays well on iOS 10.3, but not on iOS 10.0 to iOS 10.2. GVRSDK 1.60.0 (latest) is used.

Could you look into what caused the problem? You can reproduce using iOS Simulator.

Here is a code snippet I used to load the video:

NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://v.zigbang.com/360/14029/main/master.m3u8"];
    [_videoView loadFromUrl:videoURL
                     ofType:kGVRVideoTypeMono];

iOS 10.0 to 10.2

iOS 10.3

I was able to playback the video on 10.3.1 on the VideoPlayer sample app after adding App Transport Security Key to Info.plist (since the Url begins with http). It also worked on the iPhone simulator (9.0 and 10.3), but not on 10.2. I think this might be a bug in iOS: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/67268

Hello, @sanjayc77 Thank you for your reply. However, I can play hls stream in iOS 10.2 when I use 0.9.0 GVR version. Is there any difference between 0.9.0 version and 1.1 or higher version?
