I have one wmv file hosted on virtual directory in IIS 6.0.
When we play this movie with our silverlight player using IE streaming and buffering it works but when I open the same movie in Firefox the movie does not play.
I just want to know is there something specific with silverlight related to browser which should be handled
I think the resoun is some browsers behave differently for mime types.

Register the media element's MediaFailed event if it is your app. This may show more details. Maybe instead of stream a page or message returning to you as I faced of previously.
<MediaElement MediaFailed="eventhandler" .../>

I have a web frontend that's able to obtain a MediaStream from a remote RTCPeerConnection.
Once I get this stream, I pass it to a <video> tag with autoPlay set.
(Note: the frontend is in React, so we pass the stream as an srcObject with a ref.)
Everything works fine in Firefox.
In Chrome, the video is only displayed if I do this at application startup:
call navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ ... }) with either audio or video set to true
take the MediaStream returned by getUserMedia, and keep it in a global or top-level variable
Now, that does not make any sense to me since:
I don't want to ask users for permission to access their microphone or webcam in order to display a video
This only happens in Chrome, and Firefox works fine
This happens both on localhost and https:// "public" domains, so it's probably not a security issue
This does not seem to be affected by playing with the autoPlay, controls, etc... attributes of the <video> tag.
Anything obvious I'm missing here ?
Chrome introduced autoplay restrictions in 2018. These are not in effect when getUserMedia is active.
If your application logic works when Chrome is started with --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required this suggests this is the case. The article also has some background information and possible workarounds like introducing a user gesture.
(and no, these restrictions don't make sense...)
We have an account on Vimeo where we display some videos for specific viewers. They are privates and we customize the ui's player to disable the share's options. The only thing that the viewer can do it's play the video.
Moreover, we defined a only one specific domain where the videos can be integrated. So we have some webpages on this domain where we integrate the videos.
In a webbrowser like Firefox, Chrome or Edge, if we go on a webpage hosted on this domain, there are no issue to display and play it. But if we use the WPF webbrowser, the webpage can be display with the video, but the Vimeo's player show a message that we can read the video because of privacy settings that we defined.
Why in a browser like Firefox or other, I don't have any issue or message to play the video from a webpage on my domain (what we want) and in the WPF webbrowser, the Vimeo's player don't allow me to play the video on the same webpage in my domain ?
Thank's for help.
The WPF WebBrowser control uses the Internet Explorer ActiveX control embedded within its window. So, it has the same limitations as the installed version of Internet Explorer. By default, it will be using IE 7 compatibility so more modern JavaScript may not work quite right.
You can force the control to use a more modern rendering engine either by using a fixed DOCTYPE in the HTML (but obviously, you don't control Vimeo's HTML) or for any launch of your executable on the machine by setting a registry key as described in this Microsoft article: Browser Emulation
You will need to add an entry for your .exe name. For example, if your application is myviewer.exe, it would be something like this to get IE 11 rendering.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
Main
FeatureControl
FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
myviewer.exe = (DWORD) 00011000
I'm looking to embed an existing survey monkey survey into a webpage, following the instructions here:
http://help.surveymonkey.com/articles/en_US/kb/Website-Collector
which is working perfectly on desktop and tablet sizes, but for some reason not working on mobile (either on an android device or in chrome emulator)
The following steps appear to be working:
Loading embed script into the page
Embed script calls surveymonkey.com, and retrieves the SMCX script
SMCX.boot() is called
But, the survey (or its markup) does not appear in the page.
Has anyone else run into this issue? What other additional information can I provide?
The Website Collector used to work everywhere, but they changed their API and now document that mobile is not supported.
http://help.surveymonkey.com/articles/en_US/kb/Website-Collector
"Website Collectors display on desktop browsers only—not on mobile devices or tablets."
It's actually worse than not supporting mobile or tablets, their surveys don't even load on desktop browsers if your browser is currently 760 pixels or less wide.
The solution is to just iframe the web link in manually.
<iframe height="500" width="500" src="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XL3DDMS"></iframe>
In addition to the answer of using iframe, for iPhone, both in Safari and Chrome rendered a weird view (the spacing between each question is extremely large), and I finally tackled it by turn off the "One Question at a Time" option, hope this helps someone.
I'm developing a web application with AngularJS and I'm using a directive for embedding responsive Youtube videos called youtubeResponsive which allows to embed videos in an iframe with a video id as source parameter.
It all works perfectly on desktop browsers, in fact I also managed to embed a playlist and play it in a loop.
The problem I'm having is now on Chrome Android, on a Nexus 5 device (running Lollipop latest update) the video embedded is not showing and instead I can see a notification of a download going on. Every time I refresh I see the download process restarting but no video is showing. If I click on the download notification to see the file nothing happens.
Of course my aim is to display the video also on mobile with autoplay and loop active.
The output which I can see inspecting the page on mobile using USB debugging (chrome://inspect/#devices)
<iframe id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="100%" height="202.5" ng-src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZhfUv0spHCY?version=3&autoplay=1&loop=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" video-slug="ZhfUv0spHCY" class="ng-isolate-scope" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZhfUv0spHCY?version=3&autoplay=1&loop=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0&wmode=opaque"></iframe>
I don't see any error on mobile except the same warning I can see on desktop which apparently is not blocking the video from playing at least there.
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/x-shockwave-flash:
"https://www.youtube.com/v/ZhfUv0spHCY?version=3&autoplay=1&loop=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0&wmode=opaque".
Anyone experienced the same issue on Android Chrome or on other mobile devices and OS ?
I haven't started testing on AOSP or iOS yet but already on Chrome the issue is quite concerning. Let me know if anyone managed to fix it.
You're specifically requesting the old Flash player widget and not allowing it to upgrade to HTML5, which is required now for mobile support of any kind. You should switch to the YouTube Player API, which requires a few extra lines of code to implement but will work almost anywhere and give you a lot of event data back about videos playing, etc.

You can still use an IFRAME with this technique, although consider this directive which appears to support the current API:

There is a web page with a silverlight control, when we use browsers like IE, chrome etc, they are all working.
We develop a desktop program, embed a WebBrowser control to a win form, and navigate to the web page, the silverlight object is not initializing, only shows the silverlight logo, just like the silverlight has not yet installed, but actuall it has installed and working.
Is it the limitation for silverlight or there should be some kind of security settings in IE or the WebBrowser control?
I run silverlight in browsers as well as in a 'client' application (WPF, using a webbrowser type control). I can tell you in my project works without any issues, I've not had to change any settings apart from one - as I run it local host, IE prompts me about running in intranet mode.
You should use fiddler to see the exact URL that is being used in the navigation and to see if there are any errors returning from the web server.
I know it's not exact help, but I can confirm it should work. Hopefully that can help narrow your search a little.
