Hello Guys, I'm starting to think that this is not possible, I have tried streaming using the AT53 video plug in, no success and also with a regular HTML custom video player no sucess. See here the details of the error message. https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=96BC3D6070619805A485BA4&fid=06DB0BCB08E3333&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1 I'm starting to think that it is just not doable ? Serge

Everything is doable; it just hasn't all been done yet. I've used the video plugin with no problems, but my client decided to encapsulate their YouTube channel instead, so I haven't used it 'publicly' yet. However just now I put a 95MB video (mp4) into my Android Test App, and it plays fine. I'll test it from my dropbox account as soon as it finishes Synchronizing. Could it be a memory issue? Cheers! -- Smug

wow what plug in did you use ? BT 2.0 ? Serge

Well, I'm running a BT v2.1.7 self hosted. The plug in I used was ATrain53's Video Plugin. I haven't tested it on iOS; but I tried it on my (Android v4.1.1) Samsung Galaxy Tab II 7" tablet. Granted, I'd do something with the layout, but it works just fine. The video is still uploading, but it's an mp4; I'll share the URL once it's finished copying. I tried with it embedded in the android and had no problems. Cheers! -- Smug PS, the video finally made it up. If you want to test with it, the URL is: http://www.smugwimp.com/sharedfiles/wedding.mp4 I'll leave it up for a week or so; feel free.

Hmmm.... my tests are turning out ok. It isn't finished, but the web based video is playing through the dataURL property of the AT53 video player just fine. It took a minute to load and start, but while it was loading, there was a polite dialog box on the screen explaining the loading delay... What devices are you doing your testing on? What Android version is it? Cheers! -- Smug

Hey @photoserge, No problems here either streaming video from a server on Android. Mine was a huge file also. LA

ok, maybe it is just that im testing it on a simulator and not on a real device ? is it working for you with the simulator and eclipse ? Serge

@photoserge, Android can be tricky with video on an emulator so yes, try on device. Usually the video will not play on the emulator. LA

I sorted thru @ 50 of these posts on Stack Overflow about video on the Android Emulator looking for a workaround or difinitive answer- http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=android+video+emulator Open a few of those threads and look at the advice being given by a lot of very experinced coders. They almost all say 'audio only' or 'test on a real device'

Hello SmugWimp, I tried with your link and it worked ! I dont get what's the difference between my link : http://www.photoserge.com/v/pscs6quickstart/intro.mp4 and yours : http://www.smugwimp.com/sharedfiles/wedding.mp4 Do I have to change something on my server for it to work ? or do I have to find another hosting solution, but then what ? If you try both link in any browser they both work but only your link (the second one) works on android app ???!? serge

Serge, I don't know if it matters, but your videos are very different in size delivered to the device. Yours 1280 x 720 Smug 320 x 240 Mike
