Hi, I am testing the free trial for both Streaming Engine and Gocoder Android SDK, so I have set up the example in: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-build-a-basic-app-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-build-a-basic-app-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android)

I am receiving video in the server, because I see it in incoming streams and using the “Test players” option I can see the video in MPEG-DASH. However I am trying to see this video using the default HTML5 video tag, so I have copy/pasted the URL in the MPEG-DASH player and put it in the video tag src like this:

But this is not working in Chrome/firefox/edge and I haven’t tested in safari or others.

I also tried using the encoder and configured the 360p output to use VOP9 and Vorbis (a.k.a webm format) which is supposedly supported by the HTML5 video player, but it isn’t working either:

What can I do to make it work in the default video player without using plugins?

Thank you very much!

PD: if this is not possible with the default html5 video player, then what free video player can I use?
