Android VOD playback
Everything here on the jw player website indicates that you can't use jw player 6 on android. However the jw player splash page has an a player and my android device will play it. My android will play a video (mov) embedded on a weebly webpage and they use jw player. I have been able to create a test page that plays the sample.mp4 file if it is located on the same server as the webpage (a web server not a media server).
What I have not been able to do is stream a single bitrate file from our Wowza Media Server 3.5 to and android.
This is a server that we have been using for over 2 years now along with JW5.8 which works on most android devices with a little side loading and the proper browser.
When a player is embedded on a webpage using our Wowza link then android devices see:
"Error loading player: No playable sources found"
I have been able to live stream and vod stream to desktop and iOS devices with an imbedded jw6 player using rtmp and HLS.
Since vod playback using jwplayer6 on androids is possible, my question is how do I do this using videos found on my wowza media server?
the following "file" entries give the same results with and android
http://[ip address]/[application]/_definst_/mp4:[path]/sample.mp4/manifest.m3u8
http://[ip address]/[application]/_definst_/mp4:[path]/sample.mp4
http://[ip address]/[application]/mp4:[path]/sample.mp4
