Problems getting audio to play using html5media

[Robin Valk]

Hi

I'm trying to implement html5media on a test blog page. The goal is to create a blog in blogger, dressed up like a website, which can have embedded audio for a schools radio project.

I have embedded
 <script src='http://api.html5media.info/1.1.6/html5media.min.js'/>   
in the head section of the blog template, as instructed.

Next, I placed the player code

<audio controls preload> 
    <source src="audio.mp3"></source> 
    <source src="audio.ogg"></source> 
</audio>

On a blog post page. and have tried linking to a dozen different audio files, using both absolute and relative paths. In all cases, the audio does not play, and the player volume control indicates that there is no audio.  Here's a screenshot clip.


So my question is: what am I dong wrong? Is there a setting in the player I can tweak? Are there special pathing steps that need to be taken?

Any advice and help you can give would be much appreciated - this solution would be perfect four my project if I can get it working.

With many thanks

Can you link me to a URL that shows the problem?

In general, absolute URLs are safer. If you can paste the URL into your browser, and have it open or download the file, then it should work in the audio tag.
