I had the same problem, but after fighting with this long time, i didn't find a solution. I tested all the configurations with webview and did many different html changes to put the iframe.

  • In Android 4.1 it reproduces the audio but not the image.
  • In Android 4.3 i tested in devices which can reproduce audio but no video and devices that can't reproduce anything.

Good luck and I plus vote this question to know if anyone can put light into this question :)
