Media Source Extensions (MSE) - Chrome for Android

[Or Hiltch]

As far as I can gather, Media Source Extensions are supposed to be
implemented in the latest current version of Chrome for Android. On the Chromium
Dashboard <http://www.chromestatus.com/features/4563797888991232> there's
also an indication that this should be working. However it seems that in
practice it does not work (or at least does not work using the same API's
used in Chrome for desktop).

I cannot seem to get it to work, and specifically, running this example
<http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/media-source.html> on an Android
phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) with KitKat and latest version of Chrome for
Android results in a blank (black) video - it looks like the webm file is
playing (if I replace the source with a webm file with sound I can hear the
audio), however no video is showing.

Does this mean MSE is actually not supported yet on Chrome for Android? Is
there any example someone knows of that suggests that it should in fact
work?

That is weird. I was sure it was supported since Jelly Beans, but when I
use Samsung Galaxy S 4 with Android 4.2.2 and Chrome, is alerts that the
API is not supported.

Thanks for checking. I am not getting the alert that you are seeing
(indicating that your browser does not support MSE at all). On my phone
(also an S4 with KitKat) it's like it's almost working (I can assemble the
chunks of the video and play it - but I only get audio, the video is
all-black). Same result for Chrome beta on the device.
