Hi,
I’m experiencing several playback issues on new iOS 26 using the latest version of Bitmovin Player v3.97.2. When I run the same codebase on iOS 18 - I’m not seeing the issues.
Issue N1. Start offset is not always being correctly handled at the start of the playback. My code is always passing/setting the certain start offset value both for vod(positive value) or for live+dvr(negative value) videos and the playback not always starts from the desired point, sometimes starts from the beginning, or from live point(instead of timeshifted one).
Issue N2. Critical one. Player is freezing for 1.5-2 mins and then throws the error on attempt to play LIVE+DVR stream w/ad breaks. The bug is reproducible after 2 or more attempts to play the same stream.
Below are the error logs:
