Hi @alexistkd,

it's easy. Just add an HLS item to the playlist and use proper flash fallback version.

So your config should look similar to this:

 $(document).ready(function() {
                projekktor('#player_a', {
                    playerFlashMP4: '/swf/StrobeMediaPlayback/StrobeMediaPlayback_hls.swf', // remember to use version with HLS support
                    playerFlashMP3: '/swf/StrobeMediaPlayback/StrobeMediaPlayback_hls.swf',
                    platforms: ['browser', 'ios', 'android', 'flash', 'native'],
                    playlist: [     
                        {
                        0: {src: "http://demo.unified-streaming.com/video/oceans/oceans_aes.ism/oceans_aes.m3u8", type: "application/mpegURL", streamType: "httpVideo"}, // your HLS manifest goes here
                        1: {src: "/media/intro.mp4", type: "video/mp4", streamType: "http"} // you can even add progressive fallback
                        }
                    ]    
                }
                );
            });

That's all. Should work on any device with flash 10.2+ installed or mobile device with HLS support (Android 4.1+, iOS 3+).

@fixedmachine yes i tried that demo in android but shows loading icon

[alexistkd]

@fixedmachine this works http://www.streaming507.com/players/tvblast/1.html in my browser in mac but not in android running 4.4.2 galaxy s4

[alexistkd]

@alexistkd which Android version and what browser on it are you using? As I told you only Android 4.1+ are supported. Android 4.0 HLS support is buggy and we don't support it. Take a look at this:
http://www.jwplayer.com/html5/hls/

I've just tested that demo on Chrome and Native Browser on Android 4.2.2 Galaxy S3 and it's working just fine. On my iPad with iOS 7.0.2 works fine too.

@fixedmachine im testing with the native browser 4.4.2

[alexistkd]

@fixedmachine it may be buggy with my galaxy s4 too, i just test it out with my nexus 5 and works good the stream

[rwlodkowski]

I don't have access to any device with 4.4.2 now so I can't debug it.

Please let me know if you experiencing the same issue with the current developement version of projekktor:
http://projekktor.wlodkowski.net/demo_hls_1.4.00.php

@fixedmachine see that demo works perfect in my s4

[rwlodkowski]

Great to hear that. The next version of projekktor will be released in the next few weeks I suppose. But if you need it now you can just take the developement version from my demo site and use it.
