Only browser I got your app working in was Chrome. What browser were you primarily testing the application in? What version? Because Firefox just released an update this morning and it could very well be the culprit.

I not only could not get Firefox (3.5.5), IE7, or Safari to work with your HTML5 YouTube app, but I could not get YouTube's app to work either; I hope this fact mitigates your worries.



Main development was with Safari, WebKit, Chrome, and Firefox on OS X. Couldn't get it to work with Camino.

Tested as well on Chrome for Windows. Of course, Internet Explorer doesn't work.

EDIT: Sorry, guess that's the effect of an all-nighter. It actually doesn't load in Firefox for me, either.


Well I'm not gonna blame you for it not working in Firefox. I've actually had to re-write client-side code (generally just quick hacks, similar to your project) solely for Firefox patching some sort of quirk or behavior change into their browser. It can get especially annoying if you're always testing with the most recent version.

Nevertheless its a neat app. ;)


I've been told it actually works on the iPhone and plays videos that fail to load due to format problems the normal way. =]


Well it doesn't seem to work on Iron (which is essentially Chrome) on Windows for me.
