Please ask your question
Hi,
I'd like to know which browser Shaka Player supports HLS, but I couldn't find it even after checking the tutorial:
https://github.com/google/shaka-player#platform-and-browser-support-matrix
Currently, Is it possible to play with HLS on major browsers (Chrome, IE, Edge, and Firefox) besides Safari,
If not, do you have any plans to support it in the future?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @st-oka ,
Yes, we support HLS playback on major browsers. You can take a look at our demo page with HLS manifests:
https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/demo/#audiolang=en-US;textlang=en-US;uilang=en-US;panel=ALL_CONTENT;panelData=HLS;build=uncompiled
Also, we're ending support for IE 11 soon. #2339

If you have an ad blocker, that version fails to load. Try this: https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/demo/#build=compiled

@st-oka Does this answer all your questions? Can we close the issue?

Hi michellezhuogg,
Thank you for your prompt reply! I've confirmed that Shaka Player also works on major browsers through the demo page.
One more thing, could you please tell me about the support status of HLS + AES-128.
I got a '4034' when checked it, and guess it's not supported.

[st-oka]

I should have seen other Issues before asking you.
As mentioned in #850, it's not supported due to some issues now, is it?

[TheModMaker]

You are correct, we don't support AES-128. You can follow that issue to get updates and know when we add support.

[st-oka]

Thank you for your reply, I understood the current situation.
Incidentally, I'm trying to playback HLS with Widevine or Playready, however it also doesn't seem to support.
I'd like to ask you about the support status of them. As others have pointed out it (#1145), is this understanding of mine correct?

A DRM system must be built into the browser. Shaka Player supports Widevine in HLS, so long as your browser has a Widevine CDM (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, smart TVs). Shaka Player does not yet support PlayReady in HLS, but that could be done in the future on browsers with a PlayReady CDM (Edge, smart TVs).
