According to my investigations this issue is happening because the player tries to load the DASH stream natively (src= load mode). I could trace back to root cause of this issue to a bug in the in implementation of shouldUseSrcEquals_ in player.js:
Whenever streaming.preferNativeHls is set to true, shouldUseSrcEquals_ will always return true regardless of the stream type if HTMLMediaElement.canPlayType returns a non-empty string (which is the case on tizen - it returns ‘maybe’ for DASH mime type).
To fix this we should make sure streaming.preferNativeHls config only applies to HLS stream types. I'm working on a PR to address this.
