Stream does not restart after background on IOS Safari

[cadalt]

Description

When you are watching a m3u8 stream on ios safari and background the page for a few minutes, when you bring the page back to the foreground you get an error, or the play buttons are unresponsive. You have to refresh or use the scrubber to play the video

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to the following url, and view the video on your mobile browser, iOS Safari: https://www.wesh.com/article/63-years-after-their-first-dance-high-school-sweethearts-reunite-and-get-married/30923910
2. While the video is playing, lock your cell phone, and put it down for 5 minutes
3. Log back into your phone, and open iOS Safari

Results

The player shows the following error: "The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support." or the play control does not play the video. You have to use the scrubber to start the video playing

Expected

The player resumes where it left off, or you can press play to resume the video

Actual

The player shows the following error: "The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support." or the player is an unresponsive black box. You have to refresh the page to get the video back

Error output

Sometimes you get the error: The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

Yeah, this is a deep safari issue that we haven't had the chance to create a work around for. Webkit issues: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203415 and https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195452
