Comment (by stuartm):

 Might also be worth testing alternative, forward compatible approaches to
 support detection such as this one -
 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12410132/html5-video-how-to-test-for-
 hls-playing-capability-video-canplaytype

 This is a client side approach instead of the current server side one and
 it looks for browsers which list support for the HLS mimetype. However, I
 don't know which browsers actually correctly report this apart from
 Safari.
