How can I allow Android users to watch a live stream? I've tried using the code snippet below but the video never plays on the devices.

The video player comes up, they click play, an ajax spinning/loading wheel comes up but it never plays. I've tested on Android 2.3.6

     <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

                codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab##version=10,0,0,0"

                width="400" height="304" align="middle">

                <param name="movie" value="StrobeMediaPlayback.swf"></param>

                <param name="FlashVars" value="src=http://FMS/live.f4m"></param>

                <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>

                <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>

                <embed src="StrobeMediaPlayback.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"

                            width="400" height="304" FlashVars="src=http://FMS/live.f4m">

                </embed>

        </object>

Thanks!

    Where is live.f4m hosted and what it points too? Can you check your Apache logs to see if you are getting requests from player? If its getting stuck because of absence of crossdomain.xml in your webroot - then in access logs of apache that would last request with 404 response code.
