WebRTC playback not working on Android Chrome

[Cody_Uptain2]

When playing back a live stream via WebRTC it works on all dekstop browsers, as well as on IOS Safari but it doesn’t work on Chrome for Android.

I’m getting this error. Below is the SDP as well as the error response

Turns out Chrome on Android doesn’t support H264

[john_brias]

That’s actually not true, how did you arrive to this conculsion?

[Cody_Uptain2]

@john brias Chrome for Android has only a hardware implementation for H.264 and there is no software implementation. At this moment H.264 works only with devices with a processor of Qualcomm (Kitkat and later) or Samsung Exynos (Lollipop and later).
