All files are .mov type and won't play on Android. What am I missing to get this working on Android?
Going to the source file forces a direct download on Android.
Thanks.
An MOV file is a QuickTime video. Does your Android have QuickTime installed on it? I didn't think so....
HTTP “Content-Type” of “video/quicktime” is not supported. Load of media resource http://cia-pc.streamguys.net/Sunkist_PummeloShrimpSalad_854x480.mov failed.
Even happens in our wizard – http://www.jwplayer.com/wizard/

One thing to try is to set the mime type to video/mov (or trick it to video/mp4)
Ethan,
It works for me. See screenshot: http://d.pr/KA3m
Set the mime type on our server or the StreamGuys server?
It did not work for me in FF27, Win7 (runs in html5 mode). The mime type would have to be set on the StreamGuys server, where the file is coming from.
Okay, I've converted one video to mp4 and it still doesn't play on Android. I do have it set to html5 for Android. Is that wrong? If not, what else is going on? Thanks.

Wrong MIME type. If you're serving up an MP4, the MIME type needs to be *video/mp4*.
The .htaccess MIME type setup on the http://www.ciavideosstage.org/ server has this:
# Audio
AddType audio/ogg oga ogg
AddType audio/mp4 m4a
# Video
AddType video/ogg ogv
AddType video/mp4 mp4 m4v
AddType video/webm webm
AddType video/mov mp4
Now you have – http://www.ciavideosstage.org/assets/v/Sunkist_PummeloShrimpSalad_854x480.mp4 being set as video/mov, but it should be video/mp4
Did you copy and paste that? If so, the syntax is wrong.
*AddType video/mp4 .mp4*
Note the dot.
And it's currently sticking a MIME type on that MP4 of *video/mov*. Don't take my word for it - check it yourself!
Yeah, I just confirmed using Firebug’s net panel that the mp4 has the incorrect mime type.
I was replying to Stephen - you posted while I was typing.
Okay. I think I've corrected the MIME type and the video acts like it's loading on Android, but then doesn't play.
# Audio
AddType audio/ogg .oga .ogg
AddType audio/mp4 .m4a
# Video
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4 .mov
AddType video/webm .webm
Why are you setting *primary: "flash"*? That's why it's not playing on Android.
I'm not setting primary Flash for Android. Look at line 246 of http://www.ciavideosstage.org/feed/sunkist
If you put this file into our wizard, does it work on android?

Unfortunately, it does not. It displays the loading gif and then either acts as if it hit the end of the video or keeps loading forever.
I would try to do a re encode using HandBrake. Use default settings + web optimized – http://handbrake.fr/
That's what I did for this mp4.

I re encoded it one more time and it's the same.
I would do the following:
Link to – http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/upload/bunny.mp4 as the file variable and see if the issues happen.
If so, then download it and host it on your server and see if it still works
that way you can determine if the issues is encoding or server based.
That file does not play on your wizard for my Android. It does the same thing as my video.
Have you checked any other devices? This is bizarre.
I've tested several emulators. Unfortunately, I don't own an Android device. Are you able to see it working?
Yes, we have actual devices here. It plays in our Wizard. What emulators are you using?
I'm using Genymotion and http://manymo.com/
To clarify, in your devices my video is playing in the Wizard but not at our link?
Okay, thanks. It plays in both your site and our wizard using a Nexus 5 here.
That's good to know. We'll move to re-encode the files to .mp4 and see what happens from there. I'll open a new thread if we have another issue.
Okay.
