Description

Hi,
After the update of the Android version on my device the videosphere stopped working on my project but also i doesn't work on your examples that are online. When I enter I see the screen black (I have the play button so that it starts when I click on my demo so it's not the autoplay). It worked ok before the update.

  • A-Frame Version: The latest version (06-14-2016)
  • Platform/Device: I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and I had Android 5.1 until last Thursday that I received an OTA update with Android 6.0.1 (now I have Chrome version 51.0.2704.81, I don't know which version had before).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the black videosphere in A-Frame's online examples on Android 6.0.1 with Chrome 51, then compare behavior with Android 5.1. Trace the videosphere rendering path and identify the Android-specific regression; done means the videosphere renders in the reported environment and the examples work again.
