HTML 5 support browser

Post by Gurgen » Fri Dec 11, 2015 12:35 pm

Hi Everyone,

I'm new in this forum and I hope this forum can helps me.

I tried to play mp3 audio file from my local path in livecode browser. The browser is showing HTML5 player but don't playing audio. The HTML that I using in my app working fine in Google Chrome.

-- HTML that I used

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
</head>
<body>
<audio controls="" autoplay name="media"><source src="MyAudioLink" type="audio/mp3">
</audio>
</body></html>

-- Livecode

Code: Select all

 -- Create valid url for browser
   replace space with "%20" in pURL
   replace ":/" with "://" pURL
   
   put "file:///" before pURL
   
   
   -- Get HTML script to playing audio
   put field "HTMLField" into tHTML
   
   
   -- Put the file link into HTML
   replace "MyAudioLink" with pURL in tHTML
   
   -- Show audio file on browser
   revBrowserSet sBrowserID, "htmlText", tHTML

Hi Gurgen,

1. welcome to the forum! :D
2. Is this for mobile (iOS/Android) or desktop?
3. Could you please show us the final url (pURL), if possible?

It is for Desktop

Sure, pURL = file:///D://Damien%20Rice%20Discography%202002-2007%20MP3/2002%20Damien%20Rice%20-%20O/04%20-%20Damien%20Rice%20-%20Cannonball.mp3

Hi Gurgen,

OK, thank you!

Did you use "revBrowserOpen" or "revBrowserOpenCEF" to create a browser instance?
I think only the latter one will open a browser based on the Chrome framework.

Hi Klaus,

I used "revBrowserOpenCEF", It only showing the player, but doesn't play audio.

Hi Gurgen,

OK, thanks, just made a quick test and doesn't work here either on my Mac! :(
Maybe a bug? I will search the LC bug database and will report this if not already done.
Will keep you informed!

And back again, yep, this is a known bug, but an old one!? :(
Time to fix it!

@Klaus
Linux 32bit support is in competition to have a newer Chromium in LC's browser tools,
see the discussion LC's CEF browser and HTML5.

@Gurgen
revBrowserOpenCEF uses an old Chromium. This old Chromium is also part of the new browser widget of LC 8.
That is, the newest widget "Browser" is not able to display the newest standalone feature "HTML5"

Each and every thing has its very own logic here ...
