We have an entry about this in the FAQ:

Q: My HLS manifest doesn't load.

A: If your HLS manifest describes MPEG2-TS content, the only browsers
capable of playing it are Edge, Chromecast and Safari. You will get an
UNPLAYABLE_PERIOD error on other browsers due to their lack of TS support.

We also were not able to make it work on Safari yet due to a bug in their
MediaSource implementation (#743).

Please file a issue if your TS content isn't playing in Chromecast or Edge
and your MP4 content - on any browser.

We also recognize that this error message is confusing, and we have proposed a new error code in #868 that would make the problem more clear: CONTENT_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_BROWSER.

Does this answer your question?

[joeyparrish]

After some internal discussion, we have decided that this is consistently surprising to developers, and that we can do better. I filed #887 for Shaka Player to convert TS to fMP4 so that we could play TS in all browsers. I do not have a date when this would be ready, and we still have lots of research to do.

For now, this is working as intended, but we will look into TS transmuxing for the future. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Ok, thanks for explanation. Now i use hls.js for my hls manifests.

Let us know if we can do anything else for you, and feel free to follow #887 if you want to reconsider Shaka Player for HLS in the future.
