We don't yet have fully "on purpose" multimedia support on mobile -- eg if it works at all, that's awesome. :) But it's probably sub-ideal in a number of ways. (On iOS in particular we have *no* playback except in the desktop mode due to Safari's lack of native WebM or Ogg support; the ogv.js JavaScript playback has only been integrated on the desktop mode so far, as we need to clean up TimedMediaHandler's JS-side code to run cleanly on mobile... and not suck on desktop.)
Questions: * Are you viewing the File: page in a browser directly, or some page that includes the file on it? (If the latter, which page?) * Are you pressing the 'play' button on an image thumbnail, or clicking the "download original file" link, or something else? * What device are you using? * What Android version are you running on? General issues: * There's no manual resolution selection override in the user interface, so you might be getting a high resolution file that's too slow to decode. * In Firefox in particular you may not be getting the benefit of hardware acceleration for WebM video decoding. * The 'Android default browser' may or may not exist on any given device (many newer devices just have Chrome, so I can't test it locally on my Nexus 5 or 5x). There may or may not be any 'fixes' we can make in a short term. Note there are *no* WMF resources assigned to video at present, so things get fixed only as someone interested in the topic gets to them. -- brion On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 7:16 PM, Pine W <[email protected]> wrote: > I just tried playing the video on Android.
