@shashikiran918 I am also facing the same issue. The streaming works fine in desktop browsers, but not in android chrome. Did you find any solution?
@balvinderz How can I help to resolve this problem?

Answer 12 · 2023-05-09T13:01:38.000Z

@balvinderz I think I somewhat found the root cause. The problem is, android chrome uses native HLS library for playback. If we force the library not to take adroid native HLS support, the player works. Can we make this a configurable option? I made a small change in the code and now it works fine on android devices as well

@soorajlv I was struggling to get it to play on my Android mobile browser, and this article finally solved it.
Thank you.

@soorajlv thanks for resolving @sgbai78's issue but we can't add a config parameter for this since we are extending video_player_platform_interface and we cannot make changes there just for this library.
