Cannot reposition in video using progress bar slider in Android

    I'm having a problem with video streaming to Android phones from a web site. I'm using the standard html5 video tag to stream the data. Positioning in the video using the slider works fine on PCs with any browser, but only works in Android if I use the Firefox browser. Positioning in the video with the progress slider does not work on the Note 3 browser, Dolphin, or Chrome browsers. I'm testing on a Note 3 running KitKat 4.4.2, so it's not like I'm using Android before they supported it. When I visit other video sites, they do not seem to have the problem. How can I code the website to enable positioning in the video by dragging the progress bar like I can on the PC and on Android when using Firefox?

    The current code looks like this:
    <video id=0 controls width=640 height=360 poster="http://www.example.com/media/example-video.jpg">
    <source src="example-video.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'/>
    <source src="example-video.webm" type='video/webm' >
    <source src="example-video.mp4" type='video/mp4'>
    <p>Video is not visible, most likely your browser does not support HTML5 video</p>
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>

    Thanks!
