You dont need a material, the webview/mediaplayer will generate one and replace any material that is in the target submesh index. However do not have both EC_MediaPlayer and EC_WebView in the same entity enabled at the same time. There is boolean "Enabled" in both, check it disabled from the one you dont want to show. Otherwise they will "fight" who gets to replace the material in the submesh, and you wont really know which is enabled.
I suggest only keeping one of these components in a entity at a time, if you dont have some script logic to keep only one enabled at one time. The & should not be afaik a problem in txml, is the full url in there if you look at the txml but not in the component when the scene loads?
