Description
What do you want to do with HLS.js?
We are experiencing an HLS playback issue on LG webOS when using:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@latest"></script>The same HLS streams work correctly with:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@1.6.15/dist/hls.min.js"></script>No other application changes were made.
Environment:
- LG webOS TV
- hls.js
- Live HLS streams
Could this be a regression or compatibility issue introduced after v1.6.15?
We can provide error logs and TV model/runtime details if required.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the live HLS playback issue on an LG webOS TV with hls.js@latest, then compare it with hls.js@1.6.15. Collect the promised error logs and TV model/runtime details, and inspect the version change that introduced the regression. Done means identifying the compatibility cause and documenting or testing the corrected behavior.
