Operating System: Linux
Tested Another Browser: Yes Other
Problem type: Video or audio doesn't play
Description: The video or audio does not play
Steps to Reproduce:
- Visit https://www.apple.com/apple-events/
- Watch the keynote
- "The video could not be played"
The issue is that for GNOME Web (Epiphany) browser, an HLS stream is fed to the video element, but the browser doesn't support HLS. The fix would be to check that with the canPlay() API on JS side, and fallback to MSE (which is what's done when the UA is Chrome).
