Hi All,
This is a weird one but I am currently re-building my web site using WD17 and using embedded MP3 to play a jingle automatically when opening a specific page..
Now the problem I'm having is that this works in every Internet Browser apart from Chrome....
When opening the page in Chrome...Just silence.....Any idea's why? :think:
Thanks,
Chrome has taste. ;))
You will have to trawl through your Chrome settings.
Try clearing the browser cache.
Before that, get another to check with their Chrome installation.

Auto playing of audio and/or video has been discouraged and virtually stopped by all the major browsers unless certain criteria is met. Firefox is savage and simply blocks autoplay. Google has to pander to it's clients (advertisers) and falls shy of a ban, but limits it's use to a list of rules.
The initial Google restriction from 2018 < https://developers.google.com/web/up...policy-changes >
quite right too - automatic audio on a site is just plain rude
although there is an exception to every rule such as in the case of music oriented sites, just so long as the landing page gives you the opotion[s]
Obviously the Snowflakes have managed to get Chrome to stop a useful feature....:-O
Funny thing is..it only happens whilst using Xara WD17 to create the page...I tried with an old copy of Frontpage and tested it via Chrome and it played fine!
I'll have to inform my viewers to use Edge to benefit from the full features! :)
Why is it necessary to insult people who have another view?Quote:

I am not a website builder, just a website user ever since their was such a thing, maybe I am biased.. but..
although webmasters go on about 'visitors' this is in fact the wrong way to look at it - I invite a website onto my computer so that it can tell me something; I do not want it to be rude and interupt work or backgraoud audio processes; I have the right to be in control of it on my computer and that is more important than the site creator showing how clever they are....
I hate the term "snowflake". It's just a very petty intolerant insult to close off other people's opinions and denigrate them.Quote:

I did a Xmas song website and that drove me nuts because I couldn't shut that off during development!
does no real service to those doing it either, but categorising is hard-wired into our conciousness; the brain is always looking out for patternsQuote:

yes indeed you have my sympathy, sound tracks can be the same when editing animation and video...Quote:

Handrawn: Off this topic, but thought of you the other day while watching Grayson Perry's American Road Trip (CH4) - he did his final Artwork on a Cintique (I think).
that would be this? :

did not see it... mores the pity, see if I can catch up on it
here is a 2009 article on his approach to drawing : https://www.theguardian.com/artandde...rry-on-drawing
I would be gob-smacked if he did not now use a cintiq...Quote:
Once I have committed myself to a theme and structure, I snuggle into the comforting drudgery of copying out every detail of elaborate costumes, machines or buildings. I surround myself with stacks of source material: books, magazines, a computer. I am keenly aware of the limits of my imagination. I steal patterns, mimic styles, weld heads from 1960s photographs on to bodies from 18th-century prints.
That's the programme.Quote:

@egg
just down the road from you I reckon, wrabness... no disrespect, but live in essex!
it get's a bad press it does not deserve, but I get the twitches if I stay too long, south of goole, let alone live :eek:
nice house though - have to hand it to the man, he's no one-trick pony
sounds like a bunch of 'snowflakes'...
what does ?
I think you need to explain.Quote:

There's lot's of people I don't agree with, I rarely insult them, I can often understand why they feel as they do and often I can respect their position though it is different to mine. Often I can see that we have a lot of common ground. Now and again I can move my position on a subject or they can move theirs. Both sides benefit.
The world used to be a place where dialogue took place and common ground was found, but in the era of people calling people "snowflakes" it's a way of shutting down uncomfortable dialogue and feeling smug in your own position.
I look forward to the day when "snowflake" isn't used any more except to describe the weather.
