Release Notes

This version includes several improvements. Playback attempts on mobile devices failing due to visibility state hidden at load start will now result in a dedicated event 1009. This allows for clearer differentiation from other startup errors, such as network or stream issues 2003 Not enough media data received. Further we improved playback start behavior in iOS WebView apps, which require user interaction for video playback in their WebView settings. Now, if a playback attempt is rejected due to missing user interaction, the player will emit error 1005 early on, allowing the application to prompt the user for interaction more quickly. Refer to recommended settings for iOS WebView: https://docs.nanocosmos.de/docs/nanoplayer/nanoplayer_webview#ios. In general find more information about error codes here: https://docs.nanocosmos.de/docs/nanoplayer/nanoplayer_api#NanoPlayer..errorcode.
