I am using Crosswalk to develop a HTML5 app. Now i have a problem with playback of embedded youtube videos within the website. I have the same issue testing the website in Chrome browser. There is no issue testing in Dolphin Browser or android default browser (< Android 4.3).

I had the problem in the past also with default android browser, but i can enable playback by setting user-agent to desktop browser. That doesn't work for the crosswalk browser.

If i run the app not on a smartphone but on a tablet it works, also in Chrome with default settings.

Does anybody has an idea/solution to enable video playback on smartphone?

Thank You!

Solved. Google's intention was, that every Android Smartphone would have installed the same basic codecs.

It seems that not every manufactor of cheap Android Smartphone (from China in this case) meets these requirements (even if Play Store is installed).

There is a way to display installed codecs on smartphone.

  • May i ask how you solved the problem? I maybe have the same problem using android 4.4.2 and crosswalk. Depending on the user agent i choose the video has wrong colors (red/blue is switched) or the video is completely distracted. So, did you change the user agent? If yes, may i know which one you used? Or how else did you solve the issue? – John Doe Nov 23 '16 at 22:02
