Hi Devs,

we are using jPlayer to synchronize Music to note sheets, means if you play and click on the sheet you'll get a point on the note with exact second of the played sound.

It works very fine in Chrome < 35, but something changed in Chrome, so it seems that Jplayer isnt able to detect html5-availbility

If we change "supplied" and setMedia to m4a, it works (with mp3 file), see code:

$("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer({
   ready: function(event) {
$(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
   m4a: currentMp3File
});
   },
   swfPath: "/script/jquery/jplayer/",
   preload:"auto",
   supplied: "m4a",
   defaultPlaybackRate:currentRecordingRate,
   playbackRate:currentRecordingRate
});

But now Firefox doesn't playback ... so what to do? Thanks for any suggestions,

Bests,

Thomas

Yes, this is quite a long-running known bug. It would be greatly appreciated if you could head over to the Chromium bug tracker, star the issue, and just write a quick note over there as to the problems you are having.

Here's the full current list of tickets and forum posts I'm aware of relating to this:
