Webm does not play on Android

I got the impression that webm was playing on Android, but I can’t get the video to play on my Galaxy Nexus. I have not tried in a browser on the phone, directly directly and in VideoView. Is there any magic combination of settings?

Yes, webm plays great on android. However, be aware that HTML5 video is always complicated.

The best way to check is to simply download the web file in a browser: http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm

There are several reasons why a video may not play for you, including:

  • The web file may have been encoded incorrectly
  • You are using a video playback application that does not process webm files
  • Data integrity was lost when it was transferred to your phone.
  • There may be a problem with the current build of your OS (although if you really should not have 2.2 or later)

Play with the html5 video generator to see what video formats play on your phone (webm and mp4 should) http://sandbox.thewikies.com/vfe-generator/ p>

I worked in the same error / problem, developing on my nexus4 (on huawei y300 and y303 phones it worked fine!). Switching to NuPlayer in the developer options fixed this. Apparently the deprecated AwesomePlayer cannot play webm in my case.

Nexus 4 Android version 5.1
