I have a code containing real media player video and audio files. (.rm and .ram). They are not working in browsers. Can you please suggest a solution. The code contains an embed tag which has a .rpm file in src. The .rpm file contains path to a .smi file which contains the .rm video and audio files to be played on clicking a button in browser. But this is not working as it should.
Thanks.
Convert the RealMedia files to a modern format, such as MP3 for audio files, or MPEG4 for video files.
RealMedia has been effectively obsolete for the last five to ten years (depending on how you define "obsolete"), and is no longer playable in any modern web browser.

I am making a website using only HTML and CSS. I am trying to link to an online mp3 file (that I do not own) so that the mp3 plays in the browser. This simple code does what I want on Firefox and Safari:
<a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/assets/sound/548271.mp3" >
However, instead of playing the mp3, Chrome automatically downloads the mp3 file to my computer. Is there some way I can alter my HTML code (not my browser preferences) to stop this from happening? Thanks.
You can't guarantee that all the browsers will have a built-in in-frame player for the audio file.
The best thing to do in this case is to embed the audio player into a page with the audio element:
<audio src="https://example.com/some-sound.mp3" controls></audio>
In my website there is video uploading facility. When User uploads video , My code convert the video format from (mp4,wmv,3gp,avi) to .flv format after compressing video size.
on desktop format, everything is working fine. But on mobile browser I haven't get an good player for playing .flv files in all browsers. Can somebody will help me to find a free .flv player support all mobile browser. I hjave searched on google and doesn't find any thing useful . I have tried with html5 player, but it doesn't work for .flv files. I also tried with object player, which is not running in mobile browser.
Another one thing, downloadig .flv video wll be played in mobile or not?
A mobile device will want to play an MP4 file. It won't know how to play a FLV file (unless the FLV file is really an MP4 file in disguise, which happens sometimes). The solution is for your website to transcode to MP4, not to FLV. If you have a desktop website solution that already plays FLV files, it's probably Flash-based, and it should be able to play MP4 files just as well.
I have one .m3u file that points to several .ts files (all in akamai).
Because we give to akamai a live stream, they convert it to these .ts files each of 10s. I see that the m3u files are easy to understand, but I can't find a browser based (flash, html5 or native plugin) player for these files.
If I give to vlc the link of the m3u file, vlc plays all the .ts files one after another as if it where only one big file. I want to use flash or something similar to be able to play in browser, the same way vlc can play those .m3u files.
Is this possible ?
You are basically talking about Apple's HLS format.
You can use an html5 object in your web page. You can use http://osmfhls.kutu.ru/ flash plugin. You can use jwplayer. There are more choices (e.g. flowplayer).
If I have two video tags in a webpage with the same file reference, will it downloaded twice or will it use the same downloaded file?
Please indicate if the behavior differs per browser.
When I run a page test for Chrome, it appears to download the same video file each time that video is referenced. I'm using HTML5 <video> tags.
I am using HTML5 audio tag to link to a WAV file, but it suddenly seems to be failing. Chrome does not seem to be able to play WAV files (MP3 works fine). I get an error message like:
Error loading: "blob:http%3A%2F%...."
Does Chrome's audio tag support WAV? For e.g., try playing this: http://www.nch.com.au/acm/11kulaw.wav
I am on Chrome version 15.0.874
I don't get the error in Chrome, but the file does not play. The control is visible, but is not working.
There is a bug report in Chromium project that seems to talk about the behavior:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=83323
The gist of it is that .wav can mean a bunch of things and have various encodings. The comments recommend using a plugin to handle this or downloading the file.
For the purposes of serving it on the web, I'd recommend compressing it to an MP3 and an OGG format (if you want to be nice to FOSS people) and including multiple source tags.
I had this problem with an mp3 audio file that did not play just in Google Chrome (this problem could be happening with other audio format files too, like wav or ogg).
I opened my mp3 file in an audio editor (Audacity) and saved it again in the desired format (in this case, *.mp3).
It works correctly in Google Chrome.
My conclusion: if the audio file does not play, the problem is in the settings that generated the audio. Use another program, with other settings.
