The only supported method of viewing streams is through the official Flash or HLS players. ---

not true official android app of twitch is using it by anothet way [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.twitch.android.viewer&hl=ru](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.twitch.android.viewer&hl=ru) and this way is very fast and without using swf player, because there is no controls of player…but how I don’t know ---

The official Android app uses HLS. However, there are no publicly supported methods for accessing the feeds directly since that would bypass critical systems such as ads. Currently you can use: - [Flash player](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/player.md) - [HTML 5 (HLS) player](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/embedding.md#html5-streams-player) ---

video doesn’t play after using HLS on **Chrome** : ![](https://staging-discuss.dev.twitch.com/uploads/default/2/a16898523efbde5d.png) on **Android** ![](https://staging-discuss.dev.twitch.com/uploads/default/3/898709092e290239.png) what is wrong? ---

What Android version? Currently the Android Chrome browser [does not](https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/html5-embedded-player/150/5?u=george) support HLS. On the desktop the only browser that is supported is Safari on Mac. ---

That would appear to be the case. ---

after adding video to WebView …only 2 sec of video plays and then it stops… is there any link to video with \*.3gp , \*.mp4 or \*.m3u8?
