There is no difference in the underlying code, and this isn't the libzim issue with video on Android, because we're not using libzim for this extraction. So it's a little strange. I suspect a resolution or a codec issue, if the dynamic player is requesting a specific version for Android.

These videos also fail with the legacy reading mode on Android only, which strongly suggests that Android needs a different format of video, and that as this hasn't been scraped, it cannot be displayed. Unfortunately, I can't currently test this on the Android app, due to inability to install the APK despite my phone being in developer mode.

Now I've managed to install the APK, and I confirm that the videos in www.ready.gov don't play on the Android app either.

This is NOT fixed by #561. It needs to be fixed upstream in openzim/warc2zim#144.
