Should video.js be able to play this fmp4 HEVC video on Chrome/Firefox? (hls.js is able to) #8577

Description

I have videos that can be played by hls.js but not video.js (besides Safari). I tried many different things with e.g. techOrder and the different hls-plugins, but to no success.

video.js (not working) hls.js (working)

Should it be possible generally to play that video in video.js? Does it have some kind of messed-up format?

Thanks for any hint pointing to where I could go next - I am a little lost at this point.

CORS issues aside, it should play if there were a multivariate playlist declaring the codec, rather than using just a media playlist, e.g.

…
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=0,BANDWIDTH=343200,CODECS="mp4a.40.2,hvc1.1.60000000.L150",RESOLUTION=320x180,CLOSED-CAPTIONS=NONE

Thank you very much, @mister-ben! Indeed, it works - you are a lifesaver! Astonished by the great support...

@mister-ben One last question: it plays on: Mac: Chrome/Safari/Edge Windows: Chrome/not Edge

Edge is at the same version on Mac and Windows (121.0.2277.98).

Here's the new link without CORS issues: https://taggy-test.b-cdn.net/test/hlstest4/playlist.m3u8

Any idea why that might be the case?

Edge on Windows may need an extra component to be able to decode hevc. See note 4 at https://caniuse.com/?search=hevc
