"html video error: Class not found" in Console

[jpescada]

I'm getting this console.error "html video error: Class not found" when trying to initialize or play an HTML5 video on Android.

Not sure if this is only related to Android 4.4, or lower versions, as I don't have another Android to test.

Any ideas?

If you check logcat (adb logcat), do you get another error as well? I've just confirmed 4.3 brought a change in settings which gives error, see issue #10 - unfortunately I don't have a 4.3 device to test with. But it would be great if you could change (if you've already installed the module) platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova/plugin/Html5Video.java and see if it works for 4.4

@bivald Although issue #10 fixed the error above, I'm still getting issues on logcat:

D/Html5Video(11860): Playing video with id: footerVideo I/chromium(11860): [INFO:async_pixel_transfer_manager_android.cc(56)] Async pixel transfers not supported E/ ( 177): Failed to open file 'android.resource:///2130968576'.

I will have time after work today to work on this. I have a 4.3 device I can test with and see if it is broken there as well.

Can you try using the latest version of the plugin and let me know if you still have the issue? Also, what version of cordova are you using?

[jpescada]

@jaeger25 I just did. It still fails but now with the console error: Failed to load resource android.resource://<package-redacted>/2130968576

Oddly enough I get the canplay, canplaythrough and timeupdate events, before the .play() is requested (and the error above gets triggered).

The HTML5 MediaError triggered is MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED. Details here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#dom-mediaerror-media_err_src_not_supported

I'm using Cordova 3.1 on this project. With Android 4.4.

I'm going to look into the issue this weekend. It likely has to do with Android switching to the chromium based webview for 4.4.

I have the same setDataSource error when using the 4.4 SDK. Trying to work around it myself, but not sure how.
