[Xerte] Re: Safari question

Wed Jul 9 11:57:40 BST 2014

Yeah I think it is the best, just seems to have a few issues with some browsers, mainly on Apple to be fair but that's a huge marketshare with mobile.

I'll make contact with them once I get a feel for the scale of the issue. It may be that it's already fixed as they are quite actively developing it.

If there are issues with mediaelement, maybe we should involve the developers there?

We looked pretty hard at all the alternatives, and mediaelement was the best (at the time)

We have huge issues with jwplayer as it wants to open all videos in quicktime on apple stuff (so we make content in an "apple format" to allow for this)

Might be quickest to say "if apple have display in quicktime link"

Ah so it's not iPad but Mac... that's an interesting bug that I've not seen before. Most likely it is to do with the mediaelements plugin so I will investigate and report an issue there.

For info, it also manifests in Chrome, although slightly differently (see screenshot). If you have it fullscreen and the video stop and then you press esc or the fullscreen button then you return to the LO but the video is scaled wrongly and you can't get it to return to correct scaling without refreshing the LO.
