@bbbo - for testing:
http://demos.flowplayer.org/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html

See: https://flowplayer.org/forum/#!/setup_configuration:hls-audio-no-video - further down in thread.

http://demos.flowplayer.org/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html worsk for me, plays pre-roll and the live stream, it just does not switch to is-live but shows "Infinity: NaN" for the running time

---

bbbo commented on Jul 26, 2015

the fix in flowplayer#898 (comment) solves this for me on the Nexus 5 and the Galaxy Tab 2. http://demos.899f.flowplayer.me/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html plays fine on both.

---

phloxic commented on Jul 26, 2015

Ah, so the demo work around is also needed for Android - will revert the additional condition.

---

bbbo commented on Jul 26, 2015

at least is fixed the Infinity: NaNaN problem in http://demos.flowplayer.org/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html (see #900 )

---

phloxic commented on Jul 26, 2015

Yeah, the inifity thing is not specific to this issue. This one is just about playback.

---

phloxic commented on Jul 26, 2015

@bbbo - so the live stream plays OK on all your devices?

---

bbbo commented on Jul 26, 2015

with the fix, it plays in all devices I own, including the Moto G (where the original demo doesn't work, it shows the symptoms (loading dots and audio in the background).

---

phloxic commented on Jul 26, 2015

You are saying the fix for #898 also fixes this one? iow
http://demos.flowplayer.org/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html does not play
but
http://demos.899f.flowplayer.me/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html does play
?

---

bbbo commented on Jul 26, 2015

yes, for the Moto G where the symptoms in https://flowplayer.org/forum/#!/setup_configuration:hls-audio-no-video were visible.

I'll test in more depth tomorror.

I can confirm that it works also on Honor 3c - android with chrome, previously, it wasn't working. But, buttons disappeared, only transparent areas where buttons should be placed remain visible (play button, embed button, full screen button).

---

phloxic commented on Jul 27, 2015

@geniuswebsk - the button thing is to be expected because dev assets are served w/o the required CORS needed for the skin fonts, nothing to worry about in this context.

---

geniuswebsk commented on Jul 28, 2015

Hello Christian, do you know app. time when new version with fix will be
available to download?

@geniuswebsk - for the moment you can grab http://cdn.899f.flowplayer.me/adhoc/flowplayer.min.js and deploy it yourself.

---

geniuswebsk commented on Jul 28, 2015

Perfect, and what about button showing "issue" which I mentioned
previously? Is it coded somewhere else? Or it is included in css file?

Many thanks Christian.

Just use the 6.0.3 skins you are currently using. There is no change there.
Just to be clear: do not load this from http://cdn.899f.flowplayer.me but download and deploy yourself - until the next release is out.

@blacktrash So is there an actual issue left for this one?

---

phloxic commented on Aug 17, 2015

http://demos.899f.flowplayer.me/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html
I can't vouch for Android, but according @bbbo yes, only for the Mac OS Safari part concerning flowplayer#898.

---

nnarhinen commented on Oct 17, 2016

Can you please tell me the status of this issue. I'm lost. What example does not work and on which device?

---

nnarhinen commented on Oct 17, 2016

Removing from the 7.0 milestone from now, please re-add or alternatively close.

---

phloxic commented on Oct 19, 2016

@bbbo - can you test http://demos.flowplayer.org/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html on Android, please? In browserstack it does not work. Can't be a problem with the live stream because it works otherwise.
We are now using the hlsjs engine there, so it might be related to that.

---

bbbo commented on Oct 19, 2016

will do when I'm back from the hospital. There is a thread regarding audio problems in Android, just in case that might be related as well.

---

phloxic commented on Oct 19, 2016

With the hlsjs engine it fails on

 bean.one(video, 'canplay', function() {                                                                        
  video.play();                                                                                               
});

in core: https://github.com/flowplayer/flowplayer/blob/master/lib/ext/mobile.js#L111-L113

The strange thing is that this is not a problem with VOD playlists, and also not with the html5 engine.

• http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/fp6/vodpreroll-livefeature.html (with hlsjs)
• http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/fp6/vodpreroll-livefeature.html?hlsjs=false (without hlsjs)

---

phloxic commented on Oct 19, 2016

It's also not related to an engine switch, again the same scenario works with VOD: mp4 -> hlsjs.
EDIT: wrong - switch to hlsjs engine in a playlist does not work on Android.

---

phloxic commented on Oct 20, 2016

@bbbo - http://demos.flowplayer.org/playlist/vodpreroll-livefeature.html should now work in Android - because it now uses HLS for the VOD pre-roll too.
I will close this here. Has to be sorted out - if at all possible - at flowplayer/flowplayer-hlsjs#50.
