Video Area Shows Black Box with Audio in the Background
Hi,
I am currently using the *free version* of the player to test the set-up and comparability of the HTML 5 JW Player with my *Android app*.
The player works just fine on the website. The player also work as desired when the website is viewed in a mobile browser. However, here is the issue i have when i try to embed the player in my Android app;
Within the app, JW Player is expected to play a video when a user performs certain action (e.g. click of a button).
What is happening is; the player shows up in response to user action, the poster image shows up, control bar is visible, audio starts but the video doesn't show up at all. All i see is a black box with the control bar and audio in the background.
I use Samsung Galexy S2 with Android version 4.1.2. I am using the exact code provided by the Publish Wizard on your website. I use .mp4 file hosted on Rackspace Cloud Files with Akmai CDN. I am not adding the "akmaiadvancedjwstreamprovider" to the code as i believe it is only for swf files and not HTML 5 players.
Could you help me sort this out please?
