If Flash is not supported, the player falls back to native MP4 functionality. In this case, you should get the non-Flash version (pure MP4). Please try playing it with your native Android browser, not Firefox with Flash. >Mobile: Firefox with Flash on Samsung GS3, Android Jelly Bean The video even works fine on WinXP which is no longer supported by Microsoft, Android 4.0.3 (2011) and iPhone 4s (latest OS update). I already used maximum compatibility settings when encoding the video - MP4 Level 3.0 (very old standard for max compatibility), Tune: Fast Decode (this is to make it easier for devices to decode and play the video), Profile: Baseline (again, similar to Level, says to the encoder that the file must have max compatibility and none of the fancy new stuff that only newer devices support). >Video works but stutters a bit on laptop That is strange then that the old videos (posted before the "quest for mobile-friendly") worked fine for you. >Flash has always offered mediocre performance on Linux and been highly unstable on my phone And YouTube must have got huge staff of programmers working for them 24/7 and solving problems, being the 3rd most visited site in the world. Currently the player AND the encoding software/settings are such that I cannot do much more in terms of compatibility.Īlso, while investigating the choppy playback issue, I found that it's something that even some of YouTube users are experiencing. I test what I can, of course.īesides, do not worry, it seems that I will ultimately keep this new player as it offers maximum compatibility. Being just one person running this blog, testing every OS + device + browser combination is also out of question, if it wasn't so I would have done that. "Most used systems" would leave me with something like 70% while 30% would be left out, and THAT is out of question. I cannot afford to lose even 15% of my visitors, it would have been a huge waste with no real excuse. I'm sorry but "most used" is definitely not enough. >you should make sure not to get trolled and test the most used systems on your own! There is Safari for Win 7? I would like to take a look at it (hadn't it been discontinued?) >works fine on Win 7 64bit with latest versions of safari, opera, firefox, internet explorer and chrome If I had issues, I wouldn't have put it online for public testing. This is just one example.Īnd of course just as you I had no issues from the beginning. For example, when notified about problems with laptops, I checked it on my own laptop which I forgot to do initially, and indeed the playback was choppy.
