Video player

I have an app where short videos are downloaded from a server and played offline. I use the HTML5 video tag setting the src property to a blob which is stored using Ionic native storage. It works fine as a web-app, on Android and on iOS till V14.5. Starting with iOS 15 there seems to be bug which leads to very long loading times (app 10 - 20 seconds). I found several reports of this bug, eg here: IOS 15 Safari blob url on video.sr… | Apple Developer Forums

In order to solve this issue I’m looking for a simple alternate solution to play offline videos. Unfortunately the Video-Player plugin (VideoPlayer | Ionic Native Cordova-Plugin-VideoPlayer) is only available for Android (not for iOS)

Any ideas what I could use?
