  • 0

I have given up on Jwplayer as it will not even play a 25-second .3gp created
on the latest version of Android running on an HTC EVO smartphone.

So I’m wondering if anyone has had reliably good experience with .3gp playback
using either of the other two players that seem recommended:

1) OVP, open video player, at http://openvideoplayer.sourceforge.net/

— OR —

2) Flowplayer, at http://flowplayer.org/

As a sanity check, before I started trying to develop with the jwplayer, I simply
tried playback of a .3gp video made on the highly-ubiquitous Android. Jwplayer
failed that simple sanity check with a dispirited THUD, no way do I want to waste
time with a player that can’t even do playback of one of the most common video formats.

Ultimately my users need to simply be able to upload a short video then see it played
back. I’ll need to add a few seconds of the company logo at the end of each uploaded video,
so I guess that means the player I used needs to have an API.

    I don’t expect much luck obtaining a flash player that understands the 3gp format. You’ll be better served using ffmpeg or some similar tool to convert the 3gp file into a mp4 file that flash can understand.

    EDIT: ah, see Is there a browser embedded player that can play 3gp, amr, mid, mp3 & wav. You will probably need to embed quicktime. The 3gp container format is not one that Flash natively handles.
