- thingfish 1y agoIt is a .webm file. It won't play in my BlueStacks Android emulator either. Do I need to add an .mp4 file?
- blueflow 1y agoYes, webm support on mobile is horrible.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoWeird that a video format that's been around since 2010 still doesn't have wide support. But, that takes me back to the codec problems from around that time.
- thingfish 1y agoI added an .mp4 source. Still not playing in BlueStacks Android. Does it work in a real Andriod?
- blueflow 1y agoPay attention to the the codecs, mp4 is a container format that may contain a codec that Android doesn't support. This is a rabbit hole.
- mdaniel 1y agoAccording to ffprobe: Duration: 00:00:21.20, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 307 kb/s Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(progressive), 960x672, 306 kb/s, 10 fps, 10 tbr, 10240 tbn (default) so maybe in a comically ancient version of Android, or perhaps a "hardened" distro that eschews modern stuff? Merely as another datum, I did URL surgery to get the prior .webm flavor and it's blank for my FF 137 on macOS so there was obviously something else going on (by blank I mean it had 21 seconds worth of black pixels, not that it didn't play)
- thingfish 1y agoIt works now. I had to add -pix_fmt yuv420p to my ffmpeg parameters. Thanks for the comments on this.
- Toorkit 1y agoPlaying fine for me, also Firefox on Android.
