Problem Stream CCTV camera

Get Help Xibo Player for Windows
1

I’m using Xibo Player on Windows and trying to display a CCTV camera stream (HLS).
The stream itself works fine in browsers, but it doesn’t play inside the Xibo Player.

Environment:

  1. Xibo CMS: Version 4.3.0
  2. Xibo Player Windows: Version Windows 4 R405.3-405
  3. Ubuntu Server running ffmpeg to output HLS
  4. The HLS stream works correctly in Google Chrome on the Player PC:
    http://192.10.10.13:8080/player.html?src=/hls/cam1.m3u8
  5. However, when I embed the same link in Xibo as a Web Page, the Player just shows the loading spinner and never plays.
  6. From what I understand, Xibo on Windows uses Chromium/WebView2. WebView2 runtime is installed on the Player machine.

Question:
Is there a known limitation with HLS.js or MSE playback inside Xibo for Windows?
How can I make the HLS stream (served by ffmpeg/nginx) display correctly in the Windows Player?

On top of head: Chrome browser(Chrome engine) and Xibo Windows player(CEF engine?) are different browser engine backends which could be part of display problem.

Xibo have HLS module widget in layout editor, could you try to load your link in HLS widget, in layout, instead of embeded link in html webpage widget?

I directly put http://192.10.10.13:1985/player.html?src=/live/cam1.m3u8 in the hls widget and everything is white without any playback
