To note that the device I was testing on iOS with was an iPhone 13 mini running iOS 17.6.1, not an iPad.

@deepseth thanks for the feedback, i looked around and it seems like iPhone started supporting Media Source Extensions (and therefore hls.js) since iOS 17, but maxLiveSyncPlaybackRate is still causing troubles, therefore it's better to use the native HLS implementation.

Super, thank you for looking at this so quickly!
