So, make sure that your IE document mode is IE9 or later, or update your IE to the latest version since IE 9 or above and other browsers that can support HTML5 will use HTML5. IE8 and below will use Silverlight automatically. SharePoint Online detects the client browser and renders the video either using Silverlight or HTML5 depending on the capabilities of the browser. With Sharepoint it takes 10 tries and STILL may not work. Why can't Msft just create something that works without the need for hours and hours of trial and error? I'm able to do things like add videos to the other platforms I use in one go. But no matter what I use - your embed code or html5 video tags - there's always some videos that don't play. Second, the videos seem to play fine if I plug the direct. The other starts with ?extsrc=.this one looks for silverlight and so doesn't work in most browsers.įirst why is there a variance? Please provide a detailed explanation. One has a url query that starts with ?site= (after the embed.aspx) - This one doesn't look for silverlight.
Why is the current version of firefox non functional generator#
I noticed today, 2 different versions are emitted by your embed generator - which I have no control over. The embed code is the code your software provides, so you'll have to explain why it's requiring silverlight to play. Everything I do in Sharepoint is like a freaking experiment!

They built it - they should do proper testing with browsers and make sure it works ALL THE Paying customers shouldn't have to try and figure out the whys and wherefores of Msft's tools. As I've mentioned before here, video in SPO is a complete disaster.
