[Plugin: HTML5 jQuery Audio Player] Track audio doesn't play

@ skyl19er: I would hate to leave this great plugin behind too, but could you let me know what player you selected to work with FF?

I must say that the author is one of the most respectful around, and is showing great interest in making sure his plugin works in more and more variant environment and combinations. But my client’s site is like a sitting duck right now with no sound coming out when I click PLAY.

It works in IE, though, which is our usual suspect normally.

@enigma: if you could give us a more detailed example with the codes, and point to the files to modify, that would also be very helpful. Most of us are not coders, although I personally don’t have a problem going into a file and changing some code, I find that I don’t always know how to insert it. There are specific tags required for specific PHP or JS code, if you could provide these as well?

Doesn’t have to be just for Enigma, anyone, please, chime in!

Many thanks,

Andre

@stubbs: I can see the player on your page and it’s working in FF. What did you do different?

Thanks!

Andre

Enigma-

I’m using Version 1.6 – I shortened the name of the file and it worked.

Thanks @michaeleman – I’ve got the character limit issue down on my list to fix up for next version.

Hi Enigma …
I’m having the exact same problem TStubbs describes above but with a slightly different wrinkle.

Here is the page where I’m testing the player:
https://www.mnuet.com/2012/07/01/audio-player-test-post/

Just as TStubbs, I’ve tried different browsers to no avail. The two test MP3 files I’m using play well both on my own system and when I plug their URLs directly into the browser address bar. Yet, only one of the files (Whole Note episode 9) plays well in Safari and Chrome, but not Firefox. The other track “Purple Orange” doesn’t play in any browser.

Just as Styzer above did, I visited TStubbs’ site and her player now appears to work fine.

Enigma—Can you tell me how TStubbs resolved this issue, or can you tell me directly what’s wrong and how resolve it?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi guys, I posted this in another post, I hope this helps. My files weren’t playing in firefox and the problem was that I am hosted on godaddy. read on…

after lots of research I figured out the problem. Maybe this will help others. I am using godaddy, their servers don’t know what to do with ogg, so you have to create a custom MIME-Type to make it recognize .ogg.

I will try to be a specific as possible since I’ve seen a lot of people asking how exactly this problem was fixed.

I did this by editing the .htaccess file. You can access your .htacess file via ftp. Your ftp might be setup by default to not show hidden files (files that start with a “.”) so you’ll have to enable that in your settings in your .ftp client. I am using Fire FTP. I downloaded that file to my computer for editing. Macs are also set up to not show hidden files, so follow the instructions here for that

Then I added this line to my .htaccess file.
AddType audio/ogg .ogg

I have a wordpress hosted site so i pasted this code before the last line of code in my file which reads: # END WordPress

This fixed it for me, I hope this helps.
