I'm helping someone with a project but I'm having problems with M3U8 streams and firefox.
I'm using FFMPEG under linux to break video files into chunks and I'm using video.JS for a video player... it's an HLS stream.
However ONLY under firefox the video player skips chunks. Under an older version of video.JS it threw a media playback error.
After hours of searching I had found that it had something to do with firefox having an overly small cache size for streaming (sorry don't remember the name of the setting and I can't find the forum post anymore). Initially I had circumvented the issue by keeping the length of my video chunks short, but recently I've encountered a video that just doesn't work for.
