jPlayer does not work on Android

I can confirm this issue. My phone is a myTouch g4 slide. Same thing as noted above.

As it is now it works on desktop and laptop just fine.

I installed the HTML5 module and refreshed the site on my Android based myTouch g4 slide clicked play and tada! It worked.

Give it a wurl.

I can confirm this for 7.x-2.x-dev (jPlayer 2.4). HTML5 Tools doesn't appear to affect the issue either way. Using Chrome and Boat Browser on a Galaxy SII. Same phone/browsers play the Lullabot podcast just fine.

Subscribing. Does work perfect on mac and pc desktop, but not on mobile devices. Sometimes it starts in the middle, or sometimes it repeats when it's not finished. HTML5 module did not work here.

The issue that initiated this post was probably different than my issue but if anyone else is having issues getting the player to work on Android it appears the jPlayer developers are working on a fix.

Same issue. Any assistance?

I've noticed it does not work at all in Google Chrome on a desktop. I still haven't found a solution.

Works fine in Chrome and on android devices.

I used it on that site with no problem.

Just tested it on my new LG3 android phone and it works on it as well.

See my previous comment #2

I jumped the gun. After switching it from flash to HTML5 it worked. When it was set to flash it didn't work in chrome for some reason.

Awesome! Glad that worked for you. (=

I have the same issue. Please note that for other browsers such as IE or Earth (don't know what browser that is though) it works as designed. It appears only to be on Chrome on Android (latest system installed)
I've just downloaded html5_tools and elements, cleared caches and now I have to ask my android using students.
I'll keep you guys posted.

It still remains a problem for some of the Android users. I've check on an Android phone (Samsung) but either with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer it doesn't play.
field display is set to HTML5.
HTML5 tools module and elements module are both enabled.

#14 Same here. For android users, it works well in mozila but not in Google Chrome.
I too found that the player is not working while disabling the flash pulgin in desktop browser.

Edited:
I found that the player is not working in IPhone too.

Hey folks.. Just a heads up that I am looking into this but it's difficult to test as I only have an iPhone. I want to confirm that you've seen sites with the jPlayer embedded that do work on Android and only sites using this module are failing you. If it's a jPlayer problem, I can't do much about that.

@markie Just an fyi this is pretty easy to use and install for android testing http://developer.android.com/tools/help/avd-manager.html

@markie I've upgraded from D6 to D7 and on D6 it was working on all browsers but not for D7. Maybe this info helps?
Also, on my D6 version I could actually tap in the middle of the player to skip or jump back to a section, in D7 I can't do that anymore. Too bad.

@markie The player is not working if I block the flash plugin in Mozilla (desktop). Hope this will help...

+1 to #18. In D6 the player works fine. But not in D7.
Also, the player is not working if I block the flash plugin in D6.

Edited
@markie I tried the demo given in http://jplayer.org/latest/demos/ and they are working fine.
So I think it's not the jplayer problem, the problem might be in module.

FYI. I am using D7 with jQuery 1.7

All
I have pushed some changes to the development branch which have enhanced the player detection and SWF fallback. Can you please install the dev version and test with your androids and let me know if this is better or worse.

markie

All: Please provide me the version of jPlayer you have installed. Also please test the latest dev branch and let me know if any of these changes have improved your experience.

Hi,
Tested with drupal 7.35 + jplayer 2.5.0 (and latest 2.9.2) + latest dev (7.x-2.x-dev) on android 4.1.2 with a samsung galaxy sIII
also tested on my desktop with chrome 37.0.2062.120 and Ubuntu 12.04

jPlayer displays the list of tracks (1 or more), but they still not play

Works well on firefox

drupix

Hi,
Tried with drupal 7.39 + jplayer library 2.9.2 and dev version of the jplayer module, video player is not working in android devices still . tested in chrome, firefox .

When i tested the jplayer.org demo videos in android devices it works . so it is something related to jplayer module am not sure what ..

Any idea ??

Thanks,
kavitha.

I was seeing the same thing: The Play button just wouldn't play on Androids in Chrome. Interestingly, the player started working perfectly with the "Request desktop site" option selected. In the end I needed to use jQuery Update to use jquery 1.8, and that got the player working for me.
