Description

I'm currently working on a streaming app and streams with DRM's Fairplay and Widevine are working fine on chrome and safari. The problem arises when the stream is encrypted with aes-128. The stream is working on chrome but failing on safari as safari doesn't have a VHS handler by default. I can get the VHS handler by giving overrideNative: true to the player but that breaks non-aes-128 stream. We can only provide the option to players at the time of initialization. So is there any workaround where I can re-initialize the player whenever I encounter aes-128 stream? I tried disposing of the player but that caused other problems like crashes and other issues. I have already through this (https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues/4865)

Safari is the reference player and definitely should support AES-128 encrypted streams. If your stream is not playing in native Safari, then there's likely an issue with the stream that needs to be addressed.

If you could provide a reduced test case, someone may be able to provide more insight.
