Is anyone encountering an issue where their HLS files are no longer working with iOS 15 AVPlayer?
We are seeing the player stay on the lowest quality variant (that is the lowest bit rate HLS option) for about a minute before changing to the highest quality, despite being on a great network connection throughout.
This is reproducible on an isolated project with nothing but the the AVPLayer loading a m3u8 URL.
We have not been able to find anything about AVPlayer that changed or would cause this in iOS 15. Are we missing anything?
Also - We have been trying to locate an HLS example for audio that also passes the Apple HLS validator - does anyone know where that can be found? We did not have luck with the examples on Apple's developer site as they are out of date with the validator it seems like.
We thought that maybe there's an issue with our HLS streams despite them working before sub iOS 15. But it's tough to find a good example of anything that passes the validator.
Any input would be awesome, thank you!
