Debian 11 (Bullseye), after an update (no upgrade) HLS streams stopped working. To reproduce: 1) sudo apt install surf 2) surf http://radio.xaq.nl/ 3) mp3 and aac streams work, hls streams (e.g. BBC3, Radio Clásica RNE, the second and third icon) refuse to work. It worked well until these versions: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64 2.38.2-1~deb11u1 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18:amd64 2.38.2-1~deb11u1 gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0:amd64 1.18.4-2.1 gstreamer1.0-gl:amd64 1.18.4-2 gstreamer1.0-gtk3:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 gstreamer1.0-libav:amd64 1.18.4-3 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 1.18.4-3 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:amd64 1.18.4-2 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:amd64 1.18.4-2 gstreamer1.0-x:amd64 1.18.4-2 libgstreamer-gl1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-2 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-3 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-2 libgstreamer1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-2.1 After an update HLS stopped working: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18:amd64 2.40.3-2~deb11u1 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64 2.40.3-2~deb11u1 gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0:amd64 1.18.4-2.1 gstreamer1.0-gl:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 gstreamer1.0-gtk3:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u2 gstreamer1.0-libav:amd64 1.18.4-3 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 1.18.4-3+deb11u1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u2 gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:amd64 1.18.4-2 gstreamer1.0-x:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 libgstreamer-gl1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-3+deb11u1 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-2+deb11u1 libgstreamer1.0-0:amd64 1.18.4-2.1 Debian 12 (Bookworm) suffers from the same problem btw: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0:amd64 2.40.3-2 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-0:amd64 2.40.3-2 gstreamer1.0-alsa:amd64 1.22.4-1 gstreamer1.0-gl:amd64 1.22.4-1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 1.22.4-1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:amd64 1.22.4-1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:amd64 1.22.4-1 gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly:amd64 1.22.4-1 libgstreamer-gl1.0-0:amd64 1.22.4-1 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0:amd64 1.22.4-1 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0:amd64 1.22.4-1 libgstreamer1.0-0:amd64 1.22.4-1 Richard.

You should set this env var if you want native HLS support enabled. WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_HLS_SUPPORT=1

Use MSE instead if you want something that works without environment variables. I don't think Phil is planning to bring back HLS.
