play in ios9

[Phil0529]

my code in iphone and simulator can play. but in the ipod ,the KVO observe keyPath only is currentItem and rate . the "loadedTimeRanges" not appear; the version of the ipod is 8.4.1 and iphone 9.1.2

[saiday]

You mean the version of iPod is iOS 8.4.1 and iOS 9.1.2 right? Is there any iOS version can work that you've tested?

I'm not sure what not appear you mentioned exactly happened. Never went into loadedTimeRanges statement?

If possible, you should give us more informations. It can be HysteriaPlayer logs inside your console.

[Phil0529]

ok, a m3u8 format stream music in ipod 8.4.1 did not work. but in iphone 9.1.2 can play normally. I don't know is the question is ipod or the version . the stream is normally play in the system player

[saiday]

So what we know now is something went wrong on iPod with iOS 8.4.1, do you observer any code level doubtful logs or exceptions?

I don't have iPod touch btw.

It could be better that you paste HysteriaPlayer logs on this issue.

[Phil0529]

the logs is only repeat
2015-10-09 18:10:14.653 HyseteriaSamples[801:172616] The operation could not be completed
2015-10-09 18:10:14.688 HyseteriaSamples[801:172616] current item changed
2015-10-09 18:10:14.851 HyseteriaSamples[801:172616] index: 1 is about to play

[Phil0529]

and i have the breakpoint to check find that -->the kvo observer keyPath id not find "loadedTimeRanges" ---> only "rate" and "currentItem"

[Phil0529]

and where are you from

[Phil0529]

and I find maybe the reason is the version means that the stream url is not available below the 9.0 the stream url
http://hls.qd.qingting.fm/live/85651.m3u8?deviceid=b25036dd51334233ab2bebc5f41c09c8&bitrate=24
-> m3u8 format where the question; can you vertify it to solve it.

@Phil0529 Oh ok, It seems like under iOS 9 there's some bug with file-based media (HysteriaPlayer use it to play empty sound before your first item been initiated) and HTTP Live Streaming (which you are using), so there's a quick fix for you.

Find - (void)playEmptySound in HysteriaPlayer.m, modify source code like this

- (void)playEmptySound
{
    //play .1 sec empty sound
    self.audioPlayer = [[AVQueuePlayer alloc] init];
//    NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
//    NSString *filepath = [bundle pathForResource:@"point1sec" ofType:@"mp3"];
//    if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager]fileExistsAtPath:filepath]) {
//        self.isInEmptySound = YES;
//        AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath]];
//        self.audioPlayer = [AVQueuePlayer queuePlayerWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:playerItem]];
//    }
}

I'm patching a commit to let user had a opportunity to disable empty sound playing.
I'm from Taiwan, btw.

Ref: iOS 9 release note

AVQueuePlayer now supports a mixture of file-based media and HTTP Live Streaming media in its queue. Prior to this, you had to ensure that all items in the queue were of the same type.

thx it's ok

[Phil0529]

我是大陸的.開發ios時間不是很長,所以遇到這個問題,順便問一句你為什麼要預置播放這個空聲音了?

[jiayuzhang]

Same question here, why pre-play an empty sound file here? A sort of way to boost initialization of the underlying AVPlayer??
