The fact is that iOS Safari fully supports Media Controllers, but simultaneous playback is prevented.
First of all, here are some helpful materials: Let’s check some workarounds applicable here. The only problem is that in iOS Safari only one stream can exist at a time. Have a look at this sample with Amsterdam Westerkerk Video.Īnother solution may consist in client-side playback of various streams, like playing an audio tag and rendering a video tag. Here you can find a demo of how we do it in Together’s video albums: we stitch video with HLS and override the audio track. But in case you have inserted ads into your stream by using EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY, you won’t be able to play alternative media at discontinuities smoothly. So far it has been the best way to alternate media in a stream.

Here you can find a technical note how to alternate media in HTTP Live Streaming. So, in the source audio/video stream you can override the audio track or even the main video. HTTP Live Streaming provides support for “overriding” the main media presentation using EXT-X-MEDIA tag. Luckily, we use HTTP Live Streaming throughout the system. In our Together project, we had to implement alternate sound tracks for user videos. Although HTTP Live Streaming can streamline this task, yet there are some limitations, so you need to make certain hacks on the client side. In this post, we are going to discuss how to make an alternative audio track for your video. MPEG DASH is also far from being intuitive.
They require much more time to develop & debug the solution. Just think of binary data in f4m playlists. Adobe HDS playlists have been really hard to deal with. But as a developer, every day I use it to solve tasks which have been almost unattainable with the previous stack (or required expensive software). As a long-time Flash lover I was somewhat prejudiced against the Apple’s video delivery standard. You can easily delegate media composition to some simple PHP / Python / Ruby / Node.js modules. You don’t need expensive media servers to handle media streams. A major advantage of HTTP Live Streaming, and it is still unbeaten by any other standard, is that you can use any technology to compose multimedia content.
