Decryption problem with Android

[grobihh]

Hi, first of all I like to congratulate for that fine piece of software and thank you for sharing it!

I use it to learn more about media streaming and it is working pretty fine. Step by step I went a little further from establishing video play in browser at all, to adaptive quality streams, to encrypted media. I did not yet understand how to change the user interface but that is a different story.

Regarding encrypted media (AES128). It is working on iOS and Windows but on Android (Android 5.0 & 5.1 with Chrome browser) the player displays "Buffering" all the time. Like it is not able to decode the stream.

(Also I recognised that it does not work on Windows Phone of a Friend but I have no device to test that myself.)

Regards, Grobi

Dear Grobi,

Thank you for your message.

To react, windows phone and streaming media is a drama. They even don't support their own streaming protocol out of the box. Second, Android is also a mess. Some releases support the features, other not, the only solution is to provide multiple streaming technologies (and that is expensive).

Succes
