HTML 5 Audio Player?

Recommended Posts

Anyone know a good one? Preferably jquery compatible. I need HTML5 playback for mp3 (Safari/Chrome) and Flash fallback for everything else.

 

I'm trying OIPlayer (http://www.openbeelden.nl/oiplayer/) and can't seem to figure out the fallback and their documentation is brutal. I looked at jPlayer (http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/) but it was pretty clunky and not very module for what I needed.

Why don't you just use a script to check the browser that is being used to load your page in an if/else statement, and then have the appropriate code for each.

 

watch this video on info as to how you can check which browser is being used. It should be quite easy, as Chrome and Safari both have 'Safari' in it's HTTP_USER_AGENT information, so check for that in your if condition.

That way you can have any HTML5 audio player you want, and have the code for it in the if, otherwise you will show the flash audio player that is in the else part.

 

Hope that helps
