Changes to HLS Alternate Audio Tracks

iOS7 vs. iOS8

Since iOS 8 went live on Friday and I updated a few of my devices over the weekend, I decided to do some quick testing of web video playback. Wanted to see if there were any little, undocumented changes that would affect REPlayer, or our general approach to HTML video - like the changes to exiting fullscreen video that came in the update from iOS6->iOS7¹.

Overall, things seem pretty much the same between iOS7->iOS8, and in a quick runthrough, REPlayer looks to be working just fine.

One interesting change to note though, is that the native interface (iOS default controls used when video is fullscreen) for selecting Sub-Title/CC tracks - or Alternate Audio tracks when they're available - no longer seems to recognize/display the audio tracks in iOS8.

Sub-Title selection still works just fine, but the Audio Section (and Audio Tracks) do not display in iOS8. Confirmed that the testing m3u8 still contains Alternate Audio tracks in the m

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
