JQuery :: What Audio Formats Necessary For Cross Browser Support
May 24, 2011
I'm using jPlayer in a website, which is a cross-platform/cross-browser jQuery solution for audio and video playback on a website. On my website, I will have users upload files either in MP3 or OGG format. I wonder though... in order to truly stay 100% stable on any browser or platform, wouldn't I need to support a corresponding OGG for every MP3 uploaded (and vice-versa)? I know jPlayer uses HTML5 when it can and will fall back to Flash when necessary, but I didn't know if you need to have that file in both formats to have it play everywhere. If I need both file formats then I suppose I'd have to convert the file to the other format using a server-side conversion. If I need just one format... then wouldn't that be just dandy! So my question is, do I need to convert? Or not?

I've tried publishing CS4 swfs in both Flash 10 and 9, but the pages are acting strange in various browsers. For example:
On PC FF and IE when hitting back button in browser the site disappears.
Sometimes PC site won't load. Says "Done with errors."
In FF, the page is coming up blank.
What is the best way to publish swfs for cross-browser support?

[URL]. It says FlvPlayback control can support MP4, M4A, MOV, MP4V, 3GP, and 3G2 but none of these formats are actually played in FLVPLayback control.

Is it true that the only file format that flash will stream from an external source is MP3? I know you can import other file formats into your movie etc... but thats not something that I want to get into.

I would like to add a very small and simple Flash audio player to my website. I have found lots of Flash MP3 players, but I can't seem to find players that will work with other types of audio files, such as aac/m4a/mp4.
I had previously been using Windows Media Server to stream WMA files on my site, but this only works for Windows users, and I need streaming to work for Mac users as well. So I think Flash is the way to go, but I cannot use mp3's because of licensing concerns.
I've been looking and looking for a flash player that supports other audio types, but can't find one. Is it true that flash has a native class for mp3, but doesn't have built-in support for others?

I'm setting up a simple little OSMF-based media player, and I have hooked up the org.osmf.captioning plugin found in the samples. It is working just groovy with video, but I also have audio files to play with captions, and it doesn't seem to do anything for those. On initial inspection, I can't see anything in the plugin that ties it to a specific type of media. Nor can I find any indication that the timeline metadata used for captioning is only relevant to certain types of media. Does the captioning plugin support audio playback? Might I have set it up incorrectly?

Im working on a project and I dont know how to even think through the problem, as I've only worked through Flash through AS3, and the following needs to be done completely in AS too.
I have two pieces of content - some flash video, and an mp3, both loaded dynamically with loaders etc. All this I think I have fairly well in hand. What I'd like to do make the 'hick-up' as these tracks loop, disappear by cross fading the video and mp3 across it self in the loop - if that makes any sense at all. I suspect that I'll have to delve into the timeline, but perhaps strangely, never done so.

I'm trying to create a client-side web app that generates music procedurally using some user-input parameters, so I'm looking for a framework (e.g. Flash, Silverlight etc.) that has the capability to play audio at a specified pitch. Whether it is playing a WAV/MP3 file, using MIDI output, or just playing beeps doesn't really matter -- I just need something that will enable me to generate arbitrary music client-side.
I've done a bit of searching and it appears that Flash might have the ability to change pitch with the help of a third-part plugin, but I couldn't find anything similar for Silverlight.

Basically I am working on a project which I have coded using HTML, HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. The issue I have is that I want a flash object/animation to show on the first page. Now despite resizing the file within the HTML it seems that within Firefox and IE it sets a default size and doesn't fit the screen.
When tested on Safari it seemed to work fine but just doesn't show as intended on Firefox and IE.
Below you can a find a link to get a better understanding of what I mean.

[URL]
the line the js error is highlighting is here:
document.getElementById('agileUploaderSWF').sendForm();
Iv'e tried putting it in a onclick, a jquery click function. Same error.
NB, it compresses & uploads a first image fine, but then when a second image is selected and upload clicked, it fails.

I would like to execute a cross domain http request from a website. Javascript is out, because most browser don't allow cross domain calls. Generally the solution is to use a proxy, but that isn't an option for this project. The other things I was thinking about would be to use Flash or maybe Java. Are there any other platforms that I could use?

How the browser caches .swf and it's content? For example, if I have an image slideshow that load data specified in XML on the domain, will it be cached for access if the same swf is used on the domain or does it have to be re-cached?

Is there a cross-browser solution to making a flash players background invisible? I have a swf movie that I want to sit on a faintly stripped background. I could place the same background in the Flash movie and sit it with CSS - using hacks for i.e. to make the backgrounds match up, but wondered whether there was a simple way of turning the background off?

I'm working on a project that originally required me to use <area> elements and 40 copies of a single GIF image to have a hoverable and clickable <img> tag. I suggested SVG, and the client agreed to use SVG instead, as it was easier to work with for both of us.
Anyways, my question is, what cross-browser JavaScript SVG library will allow me to display and interact with pre-made SVG images.
I know of these libraries:
Raphaƫl: I'm currently using this along with a SVG loading plugin. But that plugin does not support Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator SVGs (i.e. most SVGs). cang: This library looks promising, but it requires <canvas> support, which IE doesn't have natively. svgweb: Another more-promising library. It requires Flash, but most IE users have Flash. jQuery SVG: It seems to be able to load SVG images, but development seems to have died. And it requires me to use a modified version of jQuery 1.3.
My client would like to provide somewhat-arbitrary images to my script and have chunks of them be "selectable" (see my demo here).

I made an as3.0 website in Flash cs4. [URL]The content of the pages is placed in a ScrollPane component, that comes with cs4. It all works fine in Chrome, Opera and IE but Firefox and Safari only show the top-left 100x100px.
Here's how it works.index.html holds a variable that tells my flash where to go (agenda, djs, bookings etc.). index.html loads preloader.swf via swfObject. Preloader.swf loads theKitchen.swf and passes a variable to it so it knows where to go, and triggers the init() function.
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var go:String;
public function Preload():void
{
[code]...
In the "mainswf" then comes some if/else statements to build the desired page. If you click a button in the menu a function is triggered with an if/else statement that checks if the page that belongs to that button isnt allready shown. If its false the source of the ScrollPane is set to that page.Every page is build in a seperate class. The class ready an XML file that holds all the text/urls to images/ video.

I want to use a fallback solution for HTML5 / flash audio players.
I wonder if I can use jQuery to check if HTML5 is supported.
I know there is .support() [URL]..but I'm not sure which would be a bullet proof check.

Does anybody use bare .SWF files as webpages? I know it's possible; it seems to work fine for me. Why would I embed a SWF inside an HTML page if it's just going to be full screen (I mean the size of the browser's normal viewable page area, not COMPLETELY fullscreen)?
Is there a lack of browser support? Or is this functionality determined by the browser's Flash plugin?

My client needs to let a user record a message from the browser, then export the message as an audio file (e.g., WAV).How is this best accomplished? Flash, Java, HTML5? By best, I mean something that is straightforward to implement and also broadly supported.

I'm assuming this is flatly impossible, but has anyone ever heard of or seen a way to implement dual-audio output from within a browser, a la DJ software (user's hardware allowing)? Anything in Flash? Google searches don't seem to be giving me any love on this...

I have swfs for every letter of the alphabet containing a story and a song. And one swf as a loader for each letter as requested from a menu. These are then published into html.
Every file is working as normal individually and when loaded in the loader swf.
But when viewed in a browser the audio karaoke for the letter I is out of synch. and only the letter I. this happens locally and online.
The I.swf file individually and when opened in loader swf work fine. Its only happening when viewed with a browser (IE and Firefox)
all the audio are mp3 loaded from external files. But Ie also tried placing the audio in the swf timeline but the same problem occurred.
A co-worker thought it might be the file size or bit-rate of the mp3 but thats not the case because all the audio files are the same compression and bitrate The file size of the audio or the swf are not the largest in the collection either. So this rules out swf/mp3 file size and or mp3 settings.[FONT="] Im really stumped by this, because every other letter works fine, and as far as I can see they are all the same settings.
