When I try to play an embedded video in some webpages,
the videos play OK on my PC, but not on my Android Dragon A1X Plus tablet.
This is what happens on my tablet, when I load the webpage:
Initially I just see a graphic where the player should be, with the Play-Arrow on it.
When I hover over the graphic the player-control-bar appear below the graphic.
After clicking the arrow, or the Play-Arrow on the control-bar,
the graphic is replaced by the players black screen,
or the rostrum image, if the video has one.
Next:
The video doesn't play,
but eventually I may see this error message flash on the screen for a few seconds:
'This Video is not Supported'
Then the audio may play, as the players barometer advances.
Generally:
Youtube video do play OK
But video's that are privately embedded & hosted do not.
Not even the demo-video in this html5 programing page, here:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
APPS:
I've found various apps that are supposed to solve this problem.
But why do I need an app, when html5-video was purposely designed to function without the need for ANY plugin?
I've tried this app: html5videoplayer.net
Which creates various support files, and 3 versions of the same video, in these formats: mp4, ogv, webm.
But after installing them on a html5-Webpage on my server, they still wont play on the tablet.
