[SOLVED] Audio, but no video, with Subsonic on Android phone

I have Subsonic running on a Ubuntu box. Video playback works flawlessly on every device on which I've attempted it except for my android phone. Using the Subsonic android app I was able to set up and hit my server successfully. Music plays perfectly on any device. Video plays, via jwplayer in a browser, perfectly on my Ubuntu desktop, my ubuntu laptop and my Viewsonic android tablet (2.2). When I try to use Subsonic on my Android Phone (CM7 2.3.7), jwplayer starts up in a browser page, just like on the other devices, and the audio plays, but no video. No error messages of any kind. I tried installing a different browser on my phone (Dolphin HD) because I could not think of one single other thing to do. It didn't make any difference.
Any ideas?

Does your phone support/plays flash/flv's ?

Well, that's embarrassing. I really, really thought I had checked that flash video would play on my phone, and indeed it is supposed to, but does not work properly on my phone (HTC G2) when Adobe Flash Player is installed from the market. I finally tracked down that it was a CM7 problem, solved by installing a specific alternate Flash package.

Thanks for the link. Most people that run subsonic also run CM or some kind of flavor.

thanks a million vafnord!
i personally had two issues, i had opera mini (which i guess does not support flash) and i had the latest version of flash.
reverting back to flash 10.2.156.12 and installing opera mobile instead of mini, fixed everything!
p.s. i also had to enable the flash player in the opera mobile settings. its defaulted to "click to play", which seems to not work for subsonic videos.
