Safari black screen mono view 360 video (blinking in iOS simulator)

[developer239]

Hello 👋 amazing library you guys created. I want to build basic 360 video player I was doing some research last couple of days and A-Frame looks like the most stable and documented library.

Anyway, I can't makea-videosphere work on iOS mobile Chrome/Safari.

I don't have CORS issues
I use https on server
I set apple-mobile-web-app-capable meta tag
I set playsinline attributes
I don't autoplay the video (user interaction is required)

And yet it doesn't work. 😭

I can see the video in stereo view
I can't see the video in mono view

iOS simulator actually shows the video even in mono view but it is blinking.

An example of 360 video working on iOS 13.4.1 / iPhone X

Click anywhere on the screen to start playing the video. FYI, Recent Safari iOS 13.4.1 changes broke stereo / immersive mode. Investigated here: #4554

@dmarcos I actually got it to work. The only thing missing is VR mode but that is already mentioned in #4554 . 🙂

I think I needed to have autoplay (I will investigate further why it didn't work without one)
