My device is nexus 7.Neither chrome and Firefox can play the video.please tell me the solution if you know it .THX
You should ask google why it cant 🙂
they removed flash player support and their Mp4 support is not working out of the box!However, some students were able to download some apps from android store and it started working –
so search the android store and test the apps.. (different browsers and Mp4 players)when you make it work – please post how you did it, so all other students with similar problems will be able to benefit
We do not have android devices here so we do not have such problems…

I am still having issues with playing videos and need some more information on the format
I don’t think the issue is with flash, I have installed that and can access flash videos/applications in my browser without any problems.
yes it is mp4 / html 5
if you installed flash, than lectures should work,did you read and tried message above:

In other browsers (dolphin, opera, boat browser) a black box appears where the video should be, pressing play the video moves out of line to the right and the open tuition theme tune plays for under a second
in firefox i get an error message “server not found: rtmpt://173.208109.173.80/play
in chrome, when clicking the video, it opens another application called mx player that supports mp4, but gives an error message saying video can’t be played

Since HLS streaming is supported on Android version 2.3-4.0 via Flash, you have to assume the user experience will be sub-par (see the aforementioned issues). Additionally, Flash support was discontinued in Android 4.1, meaning future versions of the OS cannot play back HLS streams natively.A way around this limitation is to either build your own app’s implementation, or utilize an SDK from a third party vendor. However, this approach can be time consuming or impractical for some broadcasters. Additionally, it requires you to maintain and distribute an application to your users.
The easiest way to support HLS streams on Android or other non-iOS platforms is to offer a fallback RTSP stream. The main advantage to using an RTSP is that there is no need for Flash or any special client configuration. For example, if you use the JW Player for video playback, setting the player’s fallback to false will cause an RTSP stream to be loaded instead of an HLS M3U8 stream. This technique works great with the Wowza Media Server and is compatible with Android 2.3, 4.0 and 4.2 via the OS’ native player. You can learn more about this on our Apple HLS guide. “”””
thanks Eseem, but we do not do HLS streaming, only RTSP stream
and therefore, the fall back on android should work, if users have got flash installedbut thank you for researching,
who knows. maybe google will soon start supporting again normal MP4 playback (like they used too)
if this is important to you, then write to them suggesting this/or complain 🙂Hi There, My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 opens and plays the videos for 2 seconds and goes off. What could the problem be? Please help, I am desperate
You might not aware that by default Android devices do not support flash player, and that it might be the reason you can’t play videos online directly from website. Flash Player has been discontinued and already not included in Play Store for you to download, however you can obtained it from offline download from many site that still shares it. Make sure you have the flash player apk file.
