Hi I am having some problems in rendering jwplayer
html5 streams on Android.
I have connected the device to my computer and using the chrome dev tools, I tried to debug the problem.
Apparently when I press the play button a call to this url is trying to be executed
http://edge07.streamgate.nl/vod/definst/content1/END_42569_B.mp4/playlist.m3u
The reason that I am saying that it is trying is because the call does not actually get executed and the status is displayed as canceled.Here is what I mean:
Does anyone know what could be the problem?

There are issues with Android and M3U8 natively - http://www.jwplayer.com/blog/the-pain-of-live-streaming-on-android/
However, I have a small work around you can use for this, check the code below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/8/jwplayer.js"></script>
<center><div id='container'></div></center>
<script>
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/android/i) != null){
jwplayer("container").setup({
file: "http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adaptive/bbbfull/bbbfull.m3u8",
type: "mp4",
primary: "html5"
});
} else {
jwplayer("container").setup({
playlist: [{
image: "http://content.bitsontherun.com/thumbs/gSzpo2wh-480.jpg",
sources: [{
file: "http://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/s8BPzDe0.smil"
},{
file: "http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adaptive/bbbfull/bbbfull.m3u8"
}]
}],
primary: "flash"
});
}
</script>
