Certain file types do not render

caileyfitz opened this issue · 2 comments

There were a number of bugs reported on the 0.24 Trello regarding rendering of file types. I have listed them below:

  • In IE 11, webm files do not render, but just displays "Invalid Source"
  • In IE 11, ogg files do not render, but instead display "Invalid Source."
  • In IE 11, .ogv video files do not render, but display "invalid source"
  • In IE 11, .wav files do not play, but displays "Invalid Source."

This is expected. IE doesn't support .webm unless the user installs that codec, but doesn't tell them to / how to do so. It doesn't support the other filetypes at all. The only thing we could do in this case would be to tell IE users to not use IE.
