This issue is only on youtube iframe playback on ( 4.3/4.4 on Nexus 7). I go to any media site embedding YT player in an Iframe and the sound does not play. The player will launch and will show controls but, no sound. The logcat msg is :

     I/OMXClient( 3004): Using client-side OMX mux.
    E/OMX-VDEC-1080P(  180): Extension: OMX.google.android.index.storeMetaDataInBuffers not implemented
    E/OMXNodeInstance(  180): OMX_GetExtensionIndex OMX.google.android.index.storeMetaDataInBuffers failed
    E/ACodec  ( 3004): [OMX.qcom.video.decoder.avc] storeMetaDataInBuffers failed w/ err -2147483648
...

I/OMXClient( 3004): Using client-side OMX mux.
E/OMXMaster( 3004): A component of name 'OMX.qcom.audio.decoder.aac' already exists, ignoring this one.
I/SoftAAC2( 3004): Reconfiguring decoder: 0->44100 Hz, 0->2 channels
D/audio_hw_primary(  180): select_devices: out_snd_device(2: speaker) in_snd_device(0: )
D/ACDB-LOADER(  180): ACDB -> send_afe_cal

jsfiddle to reproduce the bug or just go to any media portal that embeds Youtube clips... this link is fine on my laptop and my phone. Its just the N7 where i've seen bug.

Workaround - use Chrome Beta as browser. But that does not really work if focus is on media heavy environment adapted for tablets.

My question: is it a Chrome problem or just a nexus 7 problem?

--EDIT sample iframe from 'the dish' that has the issue:

<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MYrY8aFCUCQ?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" id="fitvid994988"></iframe>

  • http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/11/14/why-humans-hate-poo/ the embed there does not play audio on the N7. That is good example – Robert Rowntree Nov 14 '13 at 18:32
  • have u tried using webchromeclient – Terril Thomas Nov 14 '13 at 18:49
  • thanks will look at wcclient .. The main issue over creating web pages of instructions ( including youtube ) for a tablet app. If they use the tablet browser on the how-to pages to try to learn the app, the how-to videos don't play correctly. Does one need a separate , native how to app? – Robert Rowntree Nov 14 '13 at 21:21
  • i gave you the answer as per the requirement for a native application development for playing it on webbrowser. Just check have you created a key for the youtube. – Terril Thomas Nov 15 '13 at 04:49
