Hey Guys, I just created a new Website with Freeway 5.6 and installed small audio files as mp3. I installed the autoplay/false in order to make them start only by klicking. Now I received feedback that it works with Safari, also with Firefox on PCs, not with Firefox on Macs OS 10.7, all mp3s start playing with Chrome and no function at all in IE6. The site is www.weirdhorses.de. Any help?
Thanks, Alexander
Try using WAV for these. Recent versions of FF have patent issues with MP3 and they don’t work. OGG also works fine there, but that’s really about the only browser where it does work. I recently had to build a system for a client where he uploaded MP3, the server transcoded it to OGG and WAV, and then the view layer of the application would build a “layer cake” of an HTML5 audio tag in the proper order so that each browser got the best it could handle.

Just curious - my only problem is Chrome… is there a fix for those to have them not start playing.
Thanks…

Click once on the video/audio file, and choose Item / Extended from the main menu. Make sure that the Embed tab is highlighted, and click on the New button. In the sub-dialog, enter the following:
Name: autostart
Value: false
Okay, then click New again.
Name: type
Value: audio/mpeg (or audio/wav or audio/ogg or whatever you’re using actually)
Okay out of the stack of dialogs, publish again, and test. (Be sure to clear your browser cache before you do.)
This is the top result from the Google query ‘chrome browser autostart audio’ – note I didn’t even have to put in the part about “I don’t want it to autostart”.

I did the first so It wouldn’t auto start in all (per the softpress site)
but I will do the second also
Thank you again…
