Flash player not working with android



Note: html5 player doesn’t have any known issues like this.

Flash player appears to require videos to have extra meta data added using qt-faststart.

ffmpeg command needs this entry at the end of the command:

-movflags faststart

If you have current videos that need to be fixed, then please get us a list of videos and we can patch them all.

– Full path to the video is required.

Also change this line in your mechbunny config.php file.

$forceEncodeAll = true; //set this to true if you want to force encoding of all videos including flv/mp4

Example of working command

$ffmpeg_command = "-acodec libfaac -keyint_min 20 -r 20 -vcodec libx264 -crf 22 -b 1000k -bt 1000k -y -v 0 -bf 16 -threads 3 -movflags faststart"; //settings for ffmpeg encoding
$ffmpeg_mobile_command = "-acodec libfaac -ab 128k -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -mbd 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -movflags faststart"; //settings for ffmpeg mobile version
