I am still trying to resolve a problem with embedded mp3s and players. In all platforms and browsers the mp3s seems to be fine except the noted FireFox post = loading before playing. All seem to use QuickTime.
But, in windows using Google Chrome It appears outside the structure/box completely and it appears to be a different player.
HTML5 player? I have been trying to understand how to embed one in a web page: JPlayer, kaltura - a bit over my head at this time. so…?s are…
Is this a HTML5 player?
Are the players listed above (or others) HTML5 / QT / FLV compatible (as they seem to list) - happy for everyone?
If yes to 2, any thoughts on using them for audio/video - please.
I had to double check on another PC, and I am now certain that the controls do not respond to mouse clicks.
BTW - Thanks in advance!!

Any answers to the above are greatly appreciated, and the below even more so! The above is my priority.
Thanks Frank H.

But, in windows using Google Chrome the controler appears outside the structure/box completely, up and behind the address at the top of the window and it appears to be a different player.

JPlayer has an html5 variant yes. Seems to work nicely and isn’t that hard to use in a Freeway document (but it does involve adding code to the Page Markup which loads multiple javascript files, not least of which is JQuery). I mention JQuery specifically because it does not always play nicely with Freeway’s built in effects. As long as you can keep other conflicting JS off the page you should be fine.
After looking at the page code for JPlayer there is another niggle to this. The paths to the audio files are unprotected and clearly visible and therefore directly downloadable. If that isn’t an issue then it will work fine.
The question about playing FLV files is moot if the person accessing the player does not have Flash installed on their computer. In that case it really doesn’t matter if it can play them or not. These days the trend is away from Flash video anyway.
