What did you do?

Tried to play the video on safari on both my iPhone and my macbook

What did you expect to happen?
I was expecting it to play the video

What actually happened?

We figured out that once my device system is in English, I am able to play the content without any problem. Except on google Chrome on my iPhone.

It appears as though when the system language is something other than English the Shaka player attempts to load the English audio track as well as the system language audio track if it exists.

Is it the best option for us to attempt to “fake” the player out to think that the system language is English so that it doesn’t attempt to load other language files at the same time? If yes, how can we do it, please?
