Question: how to fallback to dash when hls is not supported #1270

Closed ahmadawada11 closed 6 years ago

ahmadawada11 commented 7 years ago

I am using the videojs-contrib-hls and videojs-contrib-dash plugins,

I need to fallback to dash if the browser unable to play hls. i placed the links in src(hls,dash), but it is not working. i tired it on firefox version 43.0.

if flash is installed and the tech order flash then html the player will play the hls.

Is the issue that when providing an HLS and DASH source and HLS is not supported, the player falls back to playing HLS with flash instead of first trying the DASH source? This could be be fixed by having html come first in the tech order.

Or is the issue that when providing an HLS and DASH source, HLS is not supported, and flash is NOT installed, the player fails with the HLS source and does not ever try the DASH source?

If you could provide a code example that might be helpful

yes the issue that when providing an HLS and DASH source, HLS is not supported, and flash is NOT installed, the player fails with the HLS source and does not ever try the DASH

in the console i see this error

InvalidStateError: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable in contrib-hls

Could you share a jsbin of your code for debugging?
