Android (Samsung S4) HTML5 video pauses

Viewed 4535

I am using Android Webview to play html5 videos, including Youtube videos (my own tags and Youtube embedded iFrames). I encountered an issue with Samsung Galaxy S4, on the following scenario:

  1. Play a video.
  2. Press 'back' while/after the video is playing (view closes)
  3. Open the view again and press 'play'.
  4. The video starts to play and immediately pauses. From this moment the same will happen for each video that I'll try to play.

I tried this on a test environment with two kind of Webviews: "regular" Android Webview and HTML5 webview

The only "suspicious" thing I see is an error while pressing the 'back' (Android error):

sendUserActionEvent() mView == null

Is it a Galaxy S4 issue? An Android issue? Any idea?

tnx, Yaniv
