Hi,

I keep getting the following error when trying to use the wowza player from inside an android webview:

PlayerStreamer: mediaElement error: Media source not supported", source: [https://player.wowza.com/player/latest/js/wowzaplayer.js](https://player.wowza.com/player/latest/js/wowzaplayer.js) (1)

fatal error msg:Media source not supported err:null", source: [https://player.wowza.com/player/latest/js/wowzaplayer.js](https://player.wowza.com/player/latest/js/wowzaplayer.js) (1)

Error occurred: Media source not supported", source: [https://player.wowza.com/player/latest/js/wowzaplayer.js](https://player.wowza.com/player/latest/js/wowzaplayer.js) (1)

Could someone help me on how to proceed further?

Hi, the issue for me was that the the html page which had the wowza player configured was in my desktop. So added that page to my localhost and started tomcat and it is working fine for me

I get the same after a few hours without issues. Then a stream reset fixes the problem temporary again!

Any idea or have you guys solved this issue?
