Problem with mp3 playlists on most browsers

Bob2 — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:07:43 +0200

The only browser I can get to automatically go onto the next song in a playlist is firefox 21 on windows (not using flash fallback). I'm certain this used to work in multiple browsers. It fails in IE 10 on Windows, Opera on OSX, Opera on a Nexus 7 tablet, Chrome on the Nexus 7..

Flash fallback for mp4 files (reply)

gottwavo — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:57:32 +0200

Sascha,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I updated the files jarisplayer.swf and projekktor-min.js.

Now I see something different. The error message I'm getting says:

"The media (null) could not be loaded because the server or network failed"

This message is on top of the "noise"-image from the player.

It happens with my very original file and the one with the absolute links.

More ideas?

Ahhh... it seems your jarisplayer.swf is either outdated or messed up. Please download this package and replace your jarisplayer.swf with the one in the archive.

Inspires me to implement some Flash-component-version-checking stuff.

Sascha,

Yes, the missing .de was an error on my side. However I can't verify anymor if this has been a typo just here or in the real file i used.

So I corrected it and it still did not work.

I thought the password protection of the website might prevent the video from loading. So I copied the player and the video to an other unprotected location. Still no success.

The player is here: http://www.kreartiv.com/jarisplayer.swf
The video is here: http://www.kreartiv.com/VGO_6318_x264.mp4
(and it plays, when you open it with Firefox)

This is my code:

Any idea where my error is?

(I keep thinking, why bother? Peple should update their browsers. But this becomes an interesting issue to solve ...)

Maybe it´s just the lack of ".de" in "playerFlashMP4"? Or is this just an error of transmition?

platforms: ['browser', 'ios', 'native', 'flash'],
playerFlashMP4: 'http://www.d800fotos/fotofile/fotos/jarisplayer.swf',

Sascha,

thanks for the hints especially on the iframe method. i will tra this.

I still do not get the flash fall back to work, even when using absolute links. I must make a mistake somewhere, but do not see it.

The video file is VGO_6204_x264.mp4 and it is located
at http://www.d800fotos.de/fotofile/fotos
The jarisplayer is in the same directory

Here is my code
(The website is password protected, so you can't go there)

So what's wrong?
When I call this in IE8, the The player seems to start, shows the psoter, when I click on the start button the wheel is rotating for ever ...

Thanks for trying to help out.

The difference in my code is, that I do not use absolute links for the jarisplayer.

The URL set in playerFlashMP4/playerFlashMP3 is the one used for the src-attribute of the / tag for Flash "fallback". So the URL can either be absolute or relative. The latter might be a bit tricky sometimes.

If you spread the player across multiple sites I would like to recommend using it in an which makes it way easier to maintain as all is in a single place. To do so you just need to create an empty HTML page, do the usual markup, scripting and apply the "iframe: true" config option. The player e.g. at our homepage or at tagesschau.de is built this way. To bring up appropriate content, different brandings or what so ever you need to generate the playlist/config dynamically on server side e.g. depending on an iframe-URL get parameter.

Hope this helps.

Specify Path To Images (reply)

Mike Cottingham — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 04:45:24 +0200

I understand that, however, I am seeing that speakker is creating it's own style tag in the header so when I include the css file it just gets overridden by the header style tags. Is there a way to disable speakker from creating a style tag in the header?

Sascha,

I still have this same problem. I am using the "trick" you describe, however no success. It does not work in IE 8. The difference in my code is, that I do not use absolute links for the jarisplayer.

Is it a must to use an absolute link or should the player also be found with a relative link? If so, it's a little more complicated since I use the player from the same location in different websites via a virtual directory in IIS.

Please advice.

Not working with ios 7 !!!! (reply)

sascha — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 09:41:11 +0200

None of the demos in this site works on iOS 7 but the one on the main page.

iOS 7 is still in beta and obviously this is for good reasons. Safari still seems to have some serious glitches that need to be fixed. E.g.: doesn´t work, window height isn´t properly reported and some events aren´t triggered.

Be assured that iOS7 will be supported but the answer can not be a collection of workarounds for some serious OS issues.

The most recent player on my site doesn't work either.

In which way? Is the player invisible? Any error messages? The only important change over the past view versions was readjusting the dimensioning of the player. Does the player´s destination container have a preset height and width?

Take Care,

Sascha

Replacing playlist causes black screen

Reeben — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 07:31:39 +0200

Hi all,

I've been having an issue with projekktor where a black screen is displayed every time I try and change the playlist :-/

The idea is that a playlist of videos are shown, and once those videos have been played, a new set of videos are loaded.

after initializing the player I call this function:


function setPlaylist() {
                    $.ajax({type: 'post',
                        url: 'getPlaylist.php',
                        async: true,
                        dataType: 'json',
                        success: function(data) {
                            var playlist = data[0];
                            console.log(data[0]);
                            console.log(data[1]);
                            player.setFile(playlist);
                            player.setPlay(true);  
                            window.setTimeout(setPlaylist, (data[1]*1000));
                        }
                    });
                }

data[0] is my playlist
data[1] is a total time for the playlist

It works the first time and displays the playlist, however once it gets called for a second time the videos stop displaying and im present with a black screen and no error.

its interesting that it works once, but not after that...

has anyone else also had a problem like this? what was your solution?

thanks!

Hi,
nobody there with the same problem. Most of my videos are waiting for full download before starting. Only 2 videos are starting after a short buffering time. It is a wordpress theme with the projekktor plugin.
Any Idea for help

Hi Michael,

this is awesome and definitely encourages me to finally getting used to GIT in order to share the projekkt there.

For historical reasons the projekkt is currently maintained via beanstalked SVN and all the building-mess is implemented in PHP along with YUI. Having access to your work will make it much easier to get rid of all this ballasts and clean up the house.

The only limited factor left is... guess... time. Nevertheless, thank you so much for sharing.
