Hello everyone.
My embed videos on my website played perfectly on any device (PC, tablet, phones, ecc), until about one month ago. Then it stopped to work on any Android 4.4 device.
I tryed to delete cache, cookie, change browser, change internet connection, but nothing...
Can someone help me?
Thank You very much.

So, in general you shouldn’t have multiple single-line embed codes on the same page when using the javascript embed code, that can confuse the player. You’re better off having a cloud hosted player in the head of your page and setting up the players manually as shown on this page:

Regarding the issue with Android playback, this is currently a known issue and we are investigating why this is happening.

Ok You know the android issue and you're working on, so have i only to wait?
The multiple single-line embed codes didn't cause any problems... All works perfectly on any device (except android 4.4)
So I can try to fix the android issue inserting this code in the head of my website?

No,

The reason I’ve sent the demo page is because you should follow it’s setup of having one player on the page instead of multiple single-line embeds.

The Android issue is being investigated.

Ok thank you. Can I just insert this code once for the player?

Yes, but every time you put in a new single line embed, you’ll be adding the library again.
