How VidPly handles HLS streaming

HLS Support Matrix

  • Safari (macOS/iOS) - Native HLS support
  • Chrome/Edge/Firefox - Via hls.js library
  • Android - Via hls.js library
  • Adaptive bitrate switching
  • Error recovery and retry logic

How It Works

  1. VidPly detects the .m3u8 URL format
  2. On Safari: Uses native HLS support (HTML5Renderer)
  3. On other browsers: Loads hls.js from CDN
  4. HLSRenderer manages stream playback
  5. Quality levels are automatically detected
  6. Adaptive bitrate adjusts based on network
