Tim,

Thank you for the reference [0] too. It does help.

Yes, AU delimiters do not exist in the H.264 stream. After the patch
[0] is applied to h264parse, the HLS stream can be played well in
Safari.

One way to gather more information about your failure case is to open the JavaScript console in Chrome and reload the page that is trying to playback the video. If you receive any error messages from VideoJS, you may get more information about the problem.

Rand,

When using VideoJS HLS, I always open the Developer Tool in Chrome to
find errors :)

I also use omxh264enc which has inline-au-delimiter support to
generate HLS stream. I can watch the generated HLS stream in Safari.
Unfortunately, I got the following errors in Chrome:

VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:3 MEDIA_ERR_DECODE) The media playback was
aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features
your browser did not support.

I also got the same errors when using h264parse with
inline-au-delimiter support. I have no idea how to debug this errors
:(
