HLS streaming


Upto what extent I can access HLS in free account. I mean I have configured JWPLAYER and aws account and transcoded some videos using AWS account. Now, on which Devices I can access it for free with the quality option. I created a manifest file and it has the details as below.

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=535000,RESOLUTION=400x224,CODECS="avc1.42001e,mp4a.40.2"
1494256592025_tammatamma_400k.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=804000,RESOLUTION=480x270,CODECS="avc1.42001e,mp4a.40.2"
1494256592025_tammatamma_600k.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1381000,RESOLUTION=640x360,CODECS="avc1.4d001f,mp4a.40.2"
1494256592025_tammatamma_1m.m3u8

I am testing in mac safari, and I think it is only device I think I can play using free account.(Is any other device supported)

Here are my options,

jwoptions = {
flashplayer: "assets/jwplayer.loader.swf",
id: "myPlayer1",
debug: true,
type: "hls",
hlshtml: true,
autostart: false,
androidhls: true,
width: "100%",
file: $sce.trustAsResourceUrl("http://my-url/index.m3u8"),
hlslabels: {
"535": "High",
"804": "Medium",
"1381": "Low"
},
primary: "flash",
}

But, I am not not getting the HD button to toggle the quality. Please help me out.

Thank You

Safari renders HLS streams natively and takes over quality switching so no HD button is available. The same happens in Edge and Android Chrome.

Thanks for the reply.

Then is there any way to show the quality HD button with a single master playlist file. (However I can get the HD button by giving multiple sources in the configuration. Is there any other way? ). Also, Now I am facing a new issue, whatever m3u8 file I give, when I play in android chrome, I am getting
'Live Broadcast'. I am not even getting the slider or not the HD button.

Here is that question,

No, I’m afraid no HD button for HLS payback in Android Chrome. I’ll have my Android specialist answer your other forum post.
