I try to make jwplayer work on android phone when I put rtsp protocol file source it work fine in android but display an error that file can not be played in iOS and PC

without rtsp file source work on pc and iOS fine with rtsp file source work only in android

```auto
jwplayer("mediaplayer").setup({
            playlist: [{
                sources: [
                        {file:'rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:dexter.mp4'},//used it to PC 
                        {file:'rtsp://localhost:1935/dexter/dexter.mp4'},// used it to android
                        {file:'http://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:dexter.mp4/playlist.m3u8'}//and this for iOS                       
                        ],
                title: 'dexter',

I’m not sure I understand your question but at first glance this may just be a typo. I think you need to add commas after each source entry:

sources: [

{file:‘rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:dexter.mp4’},

{file:‘rtsp://localhost:1935/dexter/dexter.mp4’},

{file:‘[http://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:dexter.mp4/playlist.m3u8](http://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:dexter.mp4/playlist.m3u8)’}

],

Hi,

Are you able to play the Apple HLS stream with your Android phone?

See the article below more details on troubleshooting RTP/RTSP playback and how to play a Cupertino (Apple HLS) stream on Android phones,
