I'm testing mediaelement.js with various OS (Win XP and 7 so far) and browser combinations (Chrome, FF, IE8, Opera) before using it on my own website. Those combinations seem great but after hours of effort I can't get Safari to work well enough under Windows XP SP3 to do a true test of whether mediaelement.js works in Safari under Windows XP (Safari normally doesn't respond when visiting web pages with or without mediaelement).
Forum posters say that one shouldn't bother to try to make Safari and XP work together but my users worldwide use many combinations of OS and browser so I need to know whether to warn them off from trying to use my mediaelement-based pages with Safari and XP.
Can someone please confirm or deny that Safari on a Windows XP PC can play the video on http://mediaelementjs.com ? I would be most grateful.
I also tried this running an XP VM with all the latest updates. It worked with Safari 5.1.5 and I also upgraded it to 5.1.7 and both played the video without a hitch.
I found an old Win XP PC in the attic, installed Safari 5.1.7 and it handled the video on http://mediaelementjs.com fine.
I've been having this issue too. It's only on Safari on Windows. So far, I've had issues with Safari telling me that certain MediaElement functions don't exist:
TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'this.pluginApi.loadMedia()')
It's obviously an issue with the Flash fallback and it occurs after calling .load(). It seems like a bug in MediaElementJS because that is an internal function.
I started setting the source like this:
var player = $('#wp_mep_1')[0].player.media;
player.src = 'video_url.mp4';
and then for Safari, or the Flash fallback, I had to manually change the flashvars after clicking to get the video to update:
$j('#me_flash_0').attr('flashvars','id=me_flash_0&isvideo=true&autoplay=false&
preload=none&width=480&startvolume=0.8&timerrate=250&flashstreamer=&height=270&
file='+video_urls[slider_position]+'.mp4');

Are we able to test angular 8 application on safari browser 5.1.7 on windows OS or any polyfills to be added or any tools exists?
There's no reason to be testing on Safari for Windows. It was discontinued in 2010 and is no longer supported by Apple.
According to NetMarketShare, Safari for Windows has a 0.01% market share, less than QQ, Sogou, Opera, Yandex, UC, Maxthon, Baidu, Vivaldi, and Amigo. Unless you're also testing all of those, don't bother with Safari for Windows.
Safari for OSX or iOS is a different question, but to test those browsers, you'll need a device that is actually running OSX or iOS.
After updating Firefox (Firefox 72.0) an error appeared: "The buffer passed to decodeAudioData contains invalid content which cannot be decoded successfully." Apps don't work, because of this problem with audio playback. Has anyone encountered such a problem? Thanks.
Got the exact same problem but here's a bit more info for anyone working on a solution. The latest updates of firefox work fine on IOS and Android, the problem is on windows 10. Here are a couple of educational resources that several of our school's reported as broken by the recent update (they work fine in chrome, safari and edge):

For comparison, here is a rource that still works in Firefox:

All resource were built using the same libraries, notably createJS.
I am working on a site where I am having a font issue. The font shows up correctly for all browsers on a PC, but, the issue is when it is viewed with Chrome on a Mac. I know how to do hacks for specific browsers, but, I am at a loss when it comes to Chrome on a Mac. How do you specify for a particular browser on a Mac. I've attached screen captures. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you in advanced for your time and consideration.

I'm trying to find Safari 8 for Windows as I am programming a website and I want to see if it all works properly in the Safari browser.
I got Windows 8 and the Application Server and the database both run locally on my PC right now.
Is there a way to test the website on Safari 8 without having a Mac or iPhone?
Thanks!
Latest version of Safari for Windows was 5.1.7, then they discontinued the Windows version.
But if you want to test how your website renders under Safari, you can use online emulators like Browserstack.
I have embedded HTML5 video(s) in a site - http://dev.thejoint.com - where they work in Firefox, Chrome, IE9 (ahem, ahem) and Opera but not in Safari on some Macs. They even work in iPhone and Android.
On my iMac, it works fine. The .mov file even works on Windows + Safari combination, since we know we have to install Quicktime for that.
Worst part is, the video works in Safari browser directly - http://dev.thejoint.com/media1/jointsequence.mov - but not on the page where it has been embedded.
I have tried every possible thing with web.config and IIS to add the MIME types as well.
Hope someone has some insight, because this is the only things remaining in completing off the project.
On Windows, <video> only works in Safari if QuickTime is installed. I don't know if this affects Macs also, but it could be the cause.
