iPhone Browsers

sfiorini · 2022-02-17, 03:51 PM

I am not able to play any live TV or recordings from any iPhone Browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome).
Otherwise, my docker installation works perfectly from Windows and Mac browsers.

Does anyone else have the same issue? I have not found any posts addressing this.

Thanks,
Stefano

It's probably just a case of Safari blocking playback because it assumes the video is an advert on a web page. Safari is pretty painful to work with. The iOS app doesn't have to worry about this.

(all browsers on iPhone are Safari behind the scenes)

Has anyone done a work around for this?

If you're going to insist on using the browser instead of the NextPVR app for iOS, you will probably need to change the content settings in Safari so that your NextPVR site settings set it to automatically allow and play video. That should, in theory, do it.
