I am trying to play an adaptive bitrate streaming video (HLS) in a cargo-leptos SSR'd site. What would be the easiest way to do this?

I have a URL to a manifest file that looks like this:
https://customer-2p3jflss4r4hmpnz.cloudflarestream.com/4c5064176ce24f29b46f8c614acbe6e1/manifest/video.m3u8

What would the easiest path be to stream video to the browser using Leptos for an HLS stream?

I genuinely have no idea, but I suspect the answer would be the same as the JavaScript answer in this case — as I understand it HLS is not supported across browsers so requires some third-party library. But that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Yes, that is my conclusion as well. I really don't want to write my own HLS player as suggested by many

And the only WASM specific library for HLS playback doesn't seem to support usage from a Rust codebase directly

So, I'm kinda lost on the right way forward. Might have to fall back to building a JS webapp which makes me sad. 🥹
Let's see..
