I created a service to pull in a podcast rss feed. Service works find and on the computer tester I can play the MP3 fine. Running the app on my android phone it doesn't even display the MP3 player right.

Hello! Could you describe in more details what exactly you do? Post screenshots, some code you use?

Also just to add, are you using the standard HTML5 audio element? Mobile browsers have different support for various audio file formats.

I'm using the standard html5 audio element but it doesn't even show the player in my app just a gray box. I've tried to just use the audio element and just providing a source and it still doesn't show the player.

Hello! Could you post sample link to the mp3 file? What device and OS version you test on? Do you install app on device or test using Appery.io tester? Does it work if you just add link to mp3 file to audio component without doing any mapping from service?

Razr M running 4.3. I've installed on device and used Appery.io tester. No it doesn't work if I add the link ot mp3 file in audio component.

Hello! Looks like the issue is connected with support of different components on various OS versions. Please try to use jplayer instead standard audio component http://jplayer.org/
