jplayer just stopped working in Chrome - OK in other browsers - google-chrome

I've been using jplayer jukebox for some time with no problems but it has suddenly stopped working in Chrome. Still works fine in IE and Firefox but the playlist no longer shows in Chrome. It was definitely working at the end of June 2014 when I last added a track. webpage is http://www.jonphilibert.com/gallery.htm
Any suggestions gratefully received

Try changing the "mp3" to "M4A".

What has happened is that this Chromium issue means that Chrome uses Flash for playback since Chrome 36, rather than HTML5.
Your problem is that the path to the SWF path is set up incorrectly - Chrome Console tells me "GET http://www.jonphilibert.com/Jplayer.swf 404 (Not Found)"
So once you configure the player to have the correct SWF file path, playback should start working again in Chrome.
Note this means that playback also won't be working in other browsers that don't support HTML5 audio.

Video Freeze in Chrome after 1-2 minutes in webRTC, working fine in firefox

When i wrote the code 6-7 months back everything was working, with no issues what so ever. But recently when i tested it, In Chrome specifically video freezes after some time.
Calling from Android implementation.
Call is working fine in firefox, safari.
If both devices are on same broadband, the issue happens about 1-2 minutes later, if anyone on 4G or cellular it happens instantly. My best guess is that chrome skips one frame to encode, and the drops all coming frames.
Here is a screenshot of webRTC internals sending video graph, after it dropped, you can clearly see the drop in 'sending bytes' and 'constant line' in encoded frames.
I don't even have any idea about how to debug this, any help is very appreciated. Thanks
How does the peerconnections iceconnectionstate look like? Does it go to disconnected and (after some time) to failed?
See https://testrtc.com/webrtc-api-trace/ for an explanation for that part of webrtc-internals.
I faced the same issue and as far as I know, this is a bug in Google Chrome version 56 and above. You can try downloading Google Chrome version below 56 it will work on the downgraded version. There are numerous bug reports filed with this bug and the interesting part is it is reproducible on Android's Google Chrome Application with version 61 and above.
Check out the following bug reports.
video Freezes on Google Chrome
Android Chrome 61, video freezes after connecting

Media Source Extension on Firefox and IE

I'm creating a Audio Player with HTML5, using the MediaSource Object.
My code is similar to MediaSource API Demo
But when executing the line
var ms = new MediaSource();
And exception is throwed on Firefox and Internet Explorer
ReferenceError: MediaSource is not defined
In Firefox Support says that this feature is only enabled to Youtube and Netflix.
There is a way to handle this restriction?
In Chrome, I have not problem!
At time of writing, IE11 only has support when run on Windows 8.1 or above.
Firefox will only enable MSE when about:config param media.mediasource.enabled = true (this restriction will be removed eventually, once the FF implementation is globally stable). There is no way around this, so unless you are YouTube or Netflix, consider Firefox MSE as coming soon.
Firefox has been lagging behind quite badly when it comes to MSE support in their browser. Firefox Nightly build however now seems to be pretty close to working properly. It still has to go through nightly build and beta phase before it's released to the public, so expect a few months.

Youtube embed fails to play, despite fully loading, Chrome only

My website http://goproheroes.com works fine in Firefox and Safari, but refuses to play recently in Chrome.
I see tons of XHR requests and no errors, the YT player just refuses to play, no console errors. I can't figure out why.
I've seen this before, and in the other cases it was fixed by adding http:// or https:// in the src in front of your embed url.
Yours is currently src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zvAgYeHAoic"

Vimeo player doesn't work on Firefox

I have a problem with the playback of a Vimeo video on Firefox with this configuration:
LENOVO 40613WG
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits
Mozilla Firefox 24.0
Flash Player 11.9.900.117
No extensions
I'm testing the playback on this page http://player.vimeo.com/api/examples/simple The video doesn't play, exept maybe 1 time on 10.
I have tested on 12 PC they all work. It doesn't work only with this computer.
There is a demo of the problem : http://www.screenr.com/FkYH
Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?
Is your root page HTTPS? We have run into issues with Firefox 24 and Mixed Content. If your page is HTTPS and the vimeo embed is HTTP then Firefox 24 (by default now) will block the HTTP Content.
FF > About:Config > security.mixed_content.block_active_content > Set to False.
I know we having this issue with screencast but since FF changed it could happen with other video embeds.
Gneisler's response was the right solution for me. Issue was not the Flash installation, as it worked fine in Chrome. However FF (running v25) was exhibiting the issue. Changing the config value as indicated in the response worked. (Sorry, I did't have enough reputation to comment or promote the answer currently)
I just wanted to add that this could bite you on other sites that make use of Vimeo videos (example)

Chrome toDataURI bug

Until a day or so ago, the Canvas2Image JS library and .toDataURI JS method worked in Chrome. http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/canvas2image/ Now, with Chrome version 19.0.1084.46, if you try clicking Save PNG on the referenced page to download a PNG version of the HTML5 canvas element, it doesn't prompt a download - but generates a MIME type error. Is this intentional - perhaps for security reasons, or a bug? (It continues to work in Firefox.)
It's a bug in Google Chrome v19 as it works fine in v18 and v20. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
