firefox only supports hls on android 😵‍💫 caniuse.com/http-live-st...

HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc

whyyyyy firefox

The most irritating thing of all is Firefox Mobile supports PWAs, but after the fall of FirefoxOS many years ago, they refuse to add it to desktop. Firefox Mobile also has this collections thing... which *does not* sync to desktop. Like... huh???

Edge is also baffling. It used to work until they made it a chromium fork back in 2018.

It's always funny to me that for a brief while, even during IE11, Trident was the only actual standards compliant rendering engine that also had features nobody else had.

My devotion to Firefox gets tested hard.

I literally have hls playback in desktop firefox lmao. idk maybe my vendored version of wasp-hls is doing weird sorcery but it does work.

Samuel 12 Apr

oh i mean, sure if you add a hls library lol. we use hls.js for bsky. but safari/chrome support just whacking a .m3u8 in a <video> tag with zero dependencies

if you wanna verify: const video = document.createElement('video') console.log(video.canPlayType('application/vnd.apple.mpegurl') !== '' ? 'yep' : 'nope')

the stupidest part.

WHAT @webdevs.firefox.com pls can you turn it on 🥺

Did you install some extension/userscript and forget about it? I've done that multiple times.

How exactly are you using wasp-hls? I looked it up and can't make sense of that from the project's readme.

Orual 12 Apr

I have vendored and substantially modified it lol. basically took the rust core and integrated it directly rather than using all the js it had around it

Orual 12 Apr

also added a bunch of features, either in the vendored version or around it, like the crazy powerful subtitle stuff.
