Hello
I've got issues presently on Ipads : the video plays, but at the end it sticks on the last image and freeze. You cant get out of full screen mode. Controls wont come back.
On Archos it loads the first image and freeze.
I've got at least 8 different formats . mp4 ogv webm and I've tried a whole bunch of video formats provided by Miro video converter. I succeeded so to play the video on Ipad, which previously refesed the mp4 that was ok elsewhere...
Very annoying, these devices are very common.
Opera mobile works on these pages...(PC)

It's been a while I'm struggling with this strange issue.

My Opera mobile emu displays perfectly Mediafront player, on every device I can pick up. On Win7 I'm okay on Chrome, IE, Opera...

But the 2 real Android devices of my client (Archos ics 4.2 and a phone under JellyBean) display no video. I added mp4, webm,ogv, flv etc, even a special 'android' format (mpeg4) in Freemake. No chance.
(And why Opera mobile doesn't behave like real Devices ? Why using it so ?)
Any idea welcome.

I understand that nobody here cares about video, or Android, or Ipad, or my issue. I'm used to.
Though, if someone is interested, I bought myself a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Yesterday. Mediafront doesn't display any video here also.
Ice Cream Sandwich. So if you wanna save time, forget Media, MediaFront and so, on Android. Only video tags works. With mpeg4+ aac.
And you'd better leave your files in the public folder and protect their url with a redirect. Drupal 'private' file system didnt work for me on Android.
And also Android doesn't reach folders above the root...

I own a Galaxy SII and it is working for me. I do not own the device that you mentioned is not working so this one may be hard for me to figure out unless I am able to get my hands on this device or if someone can come up with a reproducible case without the need to have the device in hand.

Hi Sir
jazz-masters-lessons.com/podistage/node/2
The config : the first video is html 5 video tag in node's body. Files are in the public folder.
the second video is filefield-media-Mediafront. Uploaded into drupal private folder set above drupal root aside /podistage.
usr :tra pwd vist.
edit : everything works now ! As usual ! ;-)
Sorry Travist. My fault.

To be exhaustive on that matter, our problem was that Archos Android 4.0.4 doesnt want to open files in the private Drupal file system, when my Galaxy tab 10.1 Android 4.0.3 can access them. Why ? This is my first contact with Android, though I noticed that sometimes our mobile devices are seen as coming from another domain. I've tried to put redirections in my htaccess that clearly showed this behaviour. A condition like
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
completely blocks all incoming access to our Drupal from our tablets leading to Access denied on the site.
It took me 2 weeks struggle and two hosting moving to settle...
