Hi,

We are trying to run a DAI livestream using videojs + Google DAI sdk. In Safari, DAI events are not getting captured. Upon going to verify, the same behaviour is observed for the DAI streams inspector (https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/dai/testing-dai) while checking on Safari.

Could you please guide regarding the same?

Regards,

Hi Harshal,

Thank you for reporting this. The DAI stream tester doesn't ping in Safari. You can try https://storage.googleapis.com/interactive-media-ads/hosted-samples/DAI%20Live%20HLS/index.html. I tried this player in Safari iOS on an iPhone 8 plus device. I verified in the Mac Safari development tools that pings fired. There is logic in that sample app to use the Native HLS player on Safari and Safari Mobile, and to use HLS.js on Chrome and other browsers. HLS.js has incompatibilities that causes no pings in Safari. You can get the dai.js from Devtools and match your implementation against it. "use_native_player()" determines what type of device and web browser and "loadUrl(url)" has the logic for each type of player. The Simple Native Sample should also work with Safari.
