Video not playing on iOS

[cyango]

So I was running multiple tests in multiple devices and these are some conclusions:

Mp4 video on IpadOS:

• Works on uikit video
• Works on XRLayer

Mp4 video on iOS:

• Doesn't show on uikit video
• Black on XRLayer
• No console errors

Webm video on IpadOS:

• Not working on uikit video
• Works on XRLayer

Webm video on iOS:

• Doesn't show on uikit video
• Black on XRLayer

HLS video on IpadOS:

• Works on uikit video
• Works on XRLayer

HLS video on iOS:

• Not working on uikit video
• Not working on XRLayer

iOS version 18.4.1

iPadOS version 18.4.1
@react-three/uikit": "0.8.16",
@react-three/xr": "^6.6.16",

The more I test the more confusing this is. Now I'm forcing HLS, if i use a single uikit video in the scene it plays the video, if i use a uikit video and a XRLayer it only plays the uikit video, BUT if i only use a XRLayer it plays.

Also if i use the refresh button on the safari debug window (connected to the device) both play!
