Video Playback

Postby richadr127gm » Wed Nov 07, 2012 2:35 pm

Hi - Great, Great product, I don't know how I ever got by without it. You should be very proud of your work.

However, now that Android and Adobe are dropping Flash support, it is proving difficult to play Video on any recent devices as Subsonic requests Flash for video playback. I have a Nexus 7 and it doesn't work at all. Could you implement external App playback for Video (such as MX Player), which would get round this problem. Bubble uPnP uses this method and it works brilliantly but I don't want to use their remote server as well as Subsonic. Besides... Subsonic is way better.

Regards and keep up the brilliant work.

Web playback without flash would be nice, but Android playback without flash is ESSENTIAL.

Video playback on Android is currently not possible without weird trickery or workarounds. Please use the default Android activity API so we can choose which player to use for video files! If that means the file needs to be fully downloaded before playback, so be it. that's still better than no playback at all.

I use the Dsub app on all my Android devices using JB, and this prompts for a default video playback app, such as MX player, rather than the standard app which requests a flash-enabled browser, hence all video playback is fine on my JB devices.
