inconsistencies are the norm between browsers and devices with html and embed

Inconsistencies seem to be the norm between browsers and devices. For instance, at least for a short while, I've decided to use a cursive style handwriting for the text of this blog. However, if my understanding is correct, it won't appear that way to someone on a tablet or other mobile device.

When it comes to html audio/video, and the various ways to embed audio/video, who knows what will work in each case. so far, it seems that the newer "embed" code works better in mobile than the older "iframe." But the reverse seems to be the case on a standard OS, especially using Firefox as a browser.

There is even apparently a great difference between browsers. Chrome seems to see every type of tag and code as far as I have been able to gather from my testing. Firefox does not do as well. As I don't use Windows, I have only been able to test IE in older versions on wine. That is hardly a fair way to test it.

It seems that Firefox on a standard OS would prefer the old fashioned "iframe" over the "embed" code, but even that could be something specific to the case. Also, it is hard for me to discern which audio file type plays best in Firefox. It is either ogg or mp3, so if one is able to use both in every attempt, there should be no problem getting it to work. however, it is much more practical to just use mp3, and if Firefox has trouble playing the file, then that is a problem more with Firefox rather than the file type.

Tablets and mobile devices are a whole other situation. For instance, so far from my testing, it seems that an android tablet likes the "embed" tag over the "iframe" tag, but maybe not in all cases. There was at least one case where the "iframe" tag seemed to work well. The problem is that this is the exact opposite of how things seem to work in Firefox.

It seems that the bottom line might be: use Google chrome and see the entire internet (with the exception of a slight problem with flash, which as I posted before is a technology that should be on the way out in the next few years).

Song:Trouble in district 13

This is from a while back, but I still think it came out well enough. Steel String acoustic guitar and vocals, with overdub lead acoustic guitar as well. So far, I believe this way of doing it only works using Google Chrome.

Out of curiosity, a video attempt the same way

Since it has been so long since I've tried to embed or share a Google Drive video, I'll attempt to re-learn the process here. From what I remember, Google made that quite easy to do, unless something has changed. It is especially easy on a Google sites, if not as easy on blogger. It might be as simple as having the link. One thing to keep in mind is that the links have to be set to share on Drive itself. this can be done in the Google Drive settings. Let's see...



So far, it appears to work. It was harder than just having the link. The embed code is still needed.This one of my songs called, "Little Bird Fly Away." Sorry for being at all commercial on this blog, but I feel like I have to use my own music mostly because of copyright issues.

Another test of different source for embed code

This is yet another test. I have been interested in what will work as a source for html audio, or in this case, even just an embed. I've been interested to see (as of yet it only works for a time, then stops) if Google Drive can be used as a sufficient host for an audio (I know it works in various scenarios with video) when used as html directly, or an embed. So, I'll yet again make an attempt.




So far, this seems to work. I can't take credit for figuring this out. I got it from here. the song is mine, done with uke and vocals. Called, "Dusty uke." Update: hmm...after a certain period of time, it seems to stop working just as the audio tag with this source does. Still works when brought up as a "pop up" player. Update 2: It seems to work again once refreshed, or more perhaps it is a random problem.Update 3: Doesn't seem to work in Firefox, or perhaps it is an authentication problem, I don't know.

find my way

Second of the videos from youtube to put here. Don't know if I might import/export and combine a few blogs together instead of having so many. Probably not though.

Korean Peninsula

Since this has become my favorite blog to post things on for some reason, even though this certainly doesn't fit the theme (whatever the theme really is) of this blog, I thought I'd post it here. I'll probably post one other I thought came out well.

Test of re-learning embed of YouTube

This is just another one of my tests, as it seems that I've forgotten how to embed video myself when it comes from YouTube. Maybe what works changes over time slightly. I don't know.

Oh, right.../embed. Ha, that's what I forget.

Another test of IA viewer to work in Firefox

I think if I use a different embed code that can be found on Internet Archive site with the item, then it might actually work in Firefox without a plugin. Let's see....

IA Embed and different browsers, and Opera looks good lately

Really Firefox? Crying about a plugin? Firefox can not display the embed of the Internet Archive document viewer without a plugin. Opera could see everything, and the video and audio looked especially good too. I guess Chrome is still the best browser if you want to be able to see everything, but the version of Opera that is available for Linux is actually really good too. It might have to get used more. Maybe. Seems to me there were a few sites that didn't like it, though. I'll have to check it out some more first.

But Chrome is what can see all the audio/video/embed/other. opera seems super fast though. Hmm...
