Displaying MPEG stream using HTML5 video tag inside an Android WebView
Question
I'm trying to display a video feed coming from a netcam on my Android device using this URL: http://user:password@camera-ip:port/video.cgi .
I want to display this content on a webpage, so I'm trying to use HTML5 to do so. I followed several questions here on SO that told me that both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 were not supported. My supervisor told me that there is a way (probably a hack) to display the stream we want on a <video> tag. It is as follows:
<html>
<body>
<video poster="http://user:password@camera-ip:port/video.cgi" controls autoplay></video>
</body>
</html>
This works on Chrome, Firefox, and exceptionally well in Safari. Not only do I fail to understand why adding the link in the poster makes for a functional solution (there is no source tag!) but also I am unable to run this inside an Android WebView.
What I have tried:
WebView webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // this was for another attempt
webview.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true); // this was for another attempt
(Activity.java)
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
(Android Manifest)

Any help displaying this feed on my Android device would be mostly appreciated.

我设法通过开发API级别21（Lolipop）而不是API级别15（冰淇淋三明治）来解决此问题。
