Android App No Video

[iedereenisgek2]

I have upgraded my Subsonic Server to 4.8

On my windows 7 laptop i can stream my video's via flash player, works great.
you see the ffmpeg proces on the subsonic server going up, so the transcoding works.

if i try to do the same with my Android 4.2 i can't see any video.
I have installed the subsonic client via Google Apps.
the client is trying to open the file via MX player (latest version), on the subsonic server you see the subsonic 32 bit process going up and it is using a lot of bandwith.
after 10 min still no video.

I have installed flash player on my Android. With the flash player everything is working great.

It seems i have troubles with transcoding.

Following transcoding i have tried :
ffmpeg -ss %o -t %d -i %s -async 1 -vf lutyuv=y=val*1.3 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f webm -vcodec libvpx -preset superfast -acodec libvorbis -threads 0 -
ffmpeg -ss %o -i %s -async 1 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f flv -vcodec libx264 -preset superfast -threads 0 -
ffmpeg -v 0 -ss %o -async 30 -i %s -f flv -b %bk -r 23.976 -s %wx%h -ac 2 -
ffmpeg -v 0 -ss %o -async 30 -i %s -f flv -b %bk -r 23.976 -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -
ffmpeg -i %s -f flv -y -s 800x450 -ar 44100 -b 200kb -ab 32kb -ac 1 -
ffmpeg -i %s -ss %o -t %d -s %wx%h -r 30000/1001 -vb %bk -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -acodec libvo_aacenc -ac 2 -ar 48000 -f mpegts -

Does anybody have an idea?

It's still easier and more reliable to just use the flash player with the regular transcoding settings.

I can even stream live TV off my Silicon Dust HD Homerun Prime using the flash set up.

I wasted a lot of time testing the other options and ended up just coming back to flash.

Flash player isn't very reliable on Android. I haven't managed to get it working with an external player on Android or Windows. It's not the transcoding settings, it seems to be the way subsonic is providing the stream. If I download it in a browser and play that while it's still downloading, no issues. Only way I've got streaming to work was on Linux by fetching it with lynx and piping to mplayer.

Same problem here. Though the "android" player settings are correct in Subsonic, no ffmpeg process is showing up in Taskmanager.

If I am trying to play the video while my Android phone is connected to my home's WiFi (same network my Subsonic server is in) everything's fine. Still no ffmpeg process, but video is playing and network traffic is roughly equal the video's bitrate.

So it seems that video content is served to Android devices directly from Subsonic without any transcoding.
