Live stream stops on Android Chrome if the screen turns off

In Android Chrome, if you turn off the screen, playback of the live stream stops and when you turn on the screen, it continues where it stopped instead of showing the current video.

I have found a solution. With the "visibilitychange" event we can detect when the page is visible again and restart the player. In order for the "visibilitychange" event to be sent when the screen is turned on, the screen must be locked.

document.onvisibilitychange = () => {
   if (document.visibilityState === "visible") {
      alert("Camera Reconnection");
      player.unload();
      player.load();
      player.play();
   }
};
