lukeis commented 8 years ago

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 3035

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start a webdriver session on an Android device
2. Open a web page that contains html5 video, for example www.youtube.com
3. Click or simulate a click on the video player to play

What is the expected output? 
- video should play

What do you see instead?
- video does not play, audio only

Selenium version:
   server: android-server-2.13.0.apk
   client: Python 2.6 and selenium-2.15.0 PythonBindings
OS:
   server: Samsung Galaxy GT-P7510 running Android 3.1
   client: Mac OS 10.6.8
Browser: default
Browser version: 3.1-URKMB

Here is a video recording of the issue: http://youtu.be/wnjBlFjjyG4. In this video,
first I play the video in a web browser, and after that I try to play the same video
on the same page in the webdriver window.

This issue manifests on the Nexus7 when using webdriver to automate tests against the
YouTube API on android-server-2.21.0
Audio plays; no video is displayed after the starting keyframe - just like OP's video

Intrestingly the YT api responds to commands until one tries to seek in the video at
which time the YT api also self destructs.

Still the same behavior in the new 2.38.0 with Android 4.1 - video plays in a black
player.

Selenium project no longer supports the AndroidDriver.

Please use Selendroid instead:
http://selendroid.io/webview.html

And log any issues against that project:

Out of curiosity, if AndroidDriver is no longer supported, why was a new android-server
apk uploaded a couple days ago?
