mp4 doesn't play on android

Reported by pdk...@gmail.com, Jul 11 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.106 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://store.americanapparel.net/en/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
There is currently a large video on the front-page advertising a sale.

http://c.americanapparel.net/static/content/SummerSale/Summersale_HP_ENG.mp4

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
On Android, M51, the video doesn't play, but shows a black rectangle. I notice in chrome://net-internals on the device, and through remote developer tools, that it just requests Range:bytes=0-1 on the video, which is what it gets. There are no further requests to the URL.

On Desktop it works fine, and requests Range:bytes=0- instead.

When I enable the unified media pipeline in chrome://flags on Android, it sends the same range request as on Desktop, but the video doesn't start. Only the first frame is shown.

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.106  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version:
 
Does this play in Chrome Beta on Android?

Looks like you're trying to autoplay it? autoplay is currently disabled on Android. If you enable controls and play it, does it work? 

Also, seeing a black frame is normal for pre-unified media pipeline.

How do I enable controls?

Comment 4 by pdk...@gmail.com, Jul 12 2016

I enabled autoplay in chrome://flags – works.
