Hi everyone.
Thanks to for the help in solving previous problems I’ve had in getting my amateur little website going.
But I have a new one that seems like a little bug.
I have mp3s on my site, and when I preview the page from freeway, every thing is fine.
However when I visit my site from my browser, or someone else’s browser, only some of the mp3’s load.
But then I hit refresh, and they all appear.
So everything is where it should be, but some don’t load on first page load.
There are a couple of things I think you can look at to try and resolve this. Looking at the page in Safari’s web inspector I can see the page generates these errors;
Resource interpreted as document but transferred with MIME type audio/mpeg.
Resource interpreted as document but transferred with MIME type .
Basically this means the server doesn’t know how to handle this file type and sent the data as plain text. It was then left to the browser to figure out what to do with this. Open a support ticked with your host and see if they can add these MIME types to your server so it at least knows what these audio files are.
The other issue I spotted was that all of the audio files have spaces in them (‘painting abstract.mp3’ for example) which when encoded becomes ‘painting%20abstract.mp3’. Although it shouldn’t pose an issue it is always best to avoid file names with spaces just to be sure.
Regards,
Tim.
Yep. At first I thought they weren’t but I tried in other browsers and found that the QuickTime Q would be shown while they were loading, then the usual controller would appear.
If you get a question mark, that means that the file encoding wasn’t
recognized by the QuickTime plugin on your computer. You might want to
run these files through QuickTime Pro and export them again as new
files. Fiddle with the encoding settings to be sure you don’t pick
anything extra fancy for the codec.

hhhm.
It dosen’t load for me in safari or firefox.
Just the Q, or sometimes a question mark.
The page finishes loading and nada.
I see 4 player controls on sound page but it takes about 30 seconds for all four sound files to load. I also see three on the art page and takes about as long to load.
Though it appears to work for some people, I obviously am doing something wrong.
As most of you have seen my website, could anyone advise me on a sound way of applying sound to a web page in freeway. I have searched the manual and found only a few mentions of putting mp3/quicktime audio files on a site.
I don’t want anything fancy, I just want my online portfolio to be functional and clear.
