1.2 HLS on Android

HLS in Android browsers is mostly broken. You can easily test this with a page with a native tag. http://stylebites.de/fp5/andrhlstype.html (with correctly declared src type) will not play at all, http://stylebites.de/fp5/andrhl.html (without source type) will play in Android Chrome, not at all in Firefox, will only play audio without image in the stock Internet browser depending on version) and will open the media player app in Opera and only play the video (sometimes) inline once you return to Opera.

So as you see it's not a player problem but badly implemented browsers. They simply do not support HLS correctly. We're adding support for HLS in Chrome/stock Android browserwithout source type in the next Flowplayer release. See the discussion in https://github.com/flowplayer/flowplayer/issues/534 .
