Android loading issues with quality switching

Miguel 10 years, 8 months ago

In Android the loading dots stay always on. I’m testing on a Samsung galaxy tab 4 tablet.

I tried those clips with the basic jw player for wordpress as well as media element and both worked fine on android.

This happens also with your demo here: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/flowplayer-quality-switching

Also in full screen no controls work, you cannot exit full screen unless you click on the back button of the tablet.

It doesn’t change quality properly, you cannot seek the video. As soon as you start clicking anything, the 3 dots appear and stay onscreen.

Hello Miguel,

1) The issue with the loading indicator must be some bug in our scripts. We will check that out.

2) We use the native full screen of Android, as it’s more compatible than the full screen mode with our custom controls.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Miguel,

new version of core Flowplayer includes fixes for Android full-screen mode. We should be able to incorporate these fixes at the start of next week.

Thanks,
Martin

The last issue is with android controls, if i seek the video, the 3 dots appear and remain over the video all the time. If i go full screen, no controls work at all.

Hello Miguel,

I tested this with Andoid 4 on Sony Xperia using the built-in browser on our test page: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/flowplayer-quality-switching

I noticed no issue with loading indicator appearing all the time. Since we use the native fullscreen, the standard Android control were available. The fullscreen mode can be then closed by hitting the hardware back button on the phone.

We will test with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and upgrade to Flowplayer 5.5 as well.

Thanks,
Martin
