I have a m3u8 source that I am trying to play via a video.js player. When I try it, I see a black screen and the console log has the message " "No compatible source and playback technology were found." This is the HTML:


  <head>
    </span><span class="pln" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303336;">Test Player</span><span class="tag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; color: #7d2727;">
     href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="test/css">
     src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video.js">
  head>
  <body>
    

Using m3u8 source

id="example_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls autoplay width="640" height="360" data-setup="{}"> src="http://184.72.239.149/vod/smil:BigBuckBunny.smil/playlist.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL" /> body>

The type is correct (i.e., "application/x-mpegURL") and I don't see any indication of a CORS issue. I've test with both Chrome and Firefox browsers with identical results. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
