Hello,

I'm checking given better player example project to play .mpd video but getting below error on iOS. (In Android working fine)

Error: Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(VideoError, Failed to load video: Cannot Open, null, null)

Code:

  BetterPlayerDataSource dataSource = BetterPlayerDataSource(
        BetterPlayerDataSourceType.network, "https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/sintel.mpd",
        useAsmsSubtitles: true, useAsmsTracks: true, videoFormat: BetterPlayerVideoFormat.dash, videoExtension: "mpd");
    _betterPlayerController = BetterPlayerController(betterPlayerConfiguration);
    _betterPlayerController.setupDataSource(dataSource);

Current Result:

Error Log: Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(VideoError, Failed to load video: Cannot Open, null, null)
