Description

Use case: Angular 6 + Videogular2 player + AFame + HLS
On Mobile, iOS11 Video player is working but no picture.
On Desktop everything is working perfectly.

  • AFrame version 0.8.2
  • Videogular2 version 6.2.2
  • HLS.js version 0.10.1

I have created Showcase where you can see the code and the demo.
Video player without AFrame working everywhere, but with AFrame I can see the only black screen but the player is working.

GitHub: https://github.com/Samuel-Ayvazyan/videogular-aframe-live-streaming
Demo from this repo: http://videogular2-aframe.freedom-dev.com/video-aframe

I suppose that issue can be one of this but required the advice of Aframe contributors:

  • In Videogular we are giving src to ".m3u8" by attribute [vgHls] so it is rendered to the player in the correct way. So maybe Aframe trying to get src before this.
  • Maybe there is some configuration of AFrame to set Color or Alpha channel for IOS, but I didn't find it.

This is not a duplicate of any other issue, checked all of them and I think this is not a case we had before.

Research direction

Start with the linked vide​​ogular-aframe-live-streaming showcase and compare the video-only path with the A-Frame path on Mobile iOS 11. Reproduce the black screen with HLS, then trace when the video source becomes available to A-Frame; done means the cause is identified and a verified fix or clear project guidance is provided.
