Can anyone suggest me webplayer which can play MP3 files in Firefox browser?
I tried jPlayer, however it needs ogg files. I tried converting MP3 to OGA using FFMPEG, however, even the generated file is not being played in JPlayer.
Is there any alternate player which can play MP3 files in Firefox.
I don't want to use Flash.
..alternate player which can play MP3 files in Firefox.
Combine these 3 for an answer.
Java Sound for the ability to play audio.
The MP3 plug-in SPI of JMF, to supply support for MP3, which Java Sound does not support by default.
Applet - to embed that ability in a web page.
Note
I am pretty sure there are easy ways to embed sound in web pages that does not require Java, or requires plug-ins that have higher usage (like Flash). If there is not something custom you wish to do, I recommend investigating alternatives.

In previous version you could copy files from google Chrome's folders and paste them into the Chromium files, but that doesn't work anymore. Apparently all the files have been replaced by 1 file ffmpegsumo.dll, copying that from Chrome changes nothing.
I downloaded codecs for Chromium on linux, but I find it weird that there's no way to get them for Windows.
Why don't they just add h.264 to chromium now that cisco made it royalty free?
Google has little incentive to support H.264 when they have their own, competing format WebM that they are trying to push. (Haven’t you ever wondered why such a relatively unknown format is one of the formats the YouTube, a Google subsidiary, supports natively?)
Unfortunately, as you have learned, they re-structured Chromium so that you cannot easily drop in H.264 support as you could before. What you can try instead, is to use the Microsoft plugin that lets Chromium play H.264 through Windows Media Player. Because it is a plugin, it should still work—unless Google specifically blocked it.
How to play single ogv file in IE8 and Safari by HTML5 video?
I known IE and Safari don't support Ogg Theora, but I have a requirement for that.
Any suggestion to me?
Thanks
OGV.JS: AN OGG THEORA AND VORBIS VIDEO DECODER IN JAVASCRIPT
Targeting Safari 6+ and ie 10+

IE8 can't play any HTML5 video, let alone specific formats. It simply doesn't support it (or any other HTML5 elements). The best you can do is embedding a Flash video. IE9 does support HTML5 video, but still not the OGG Theora format.
Safari explicitly doesn't support it either. It does support HTML5 video, but not the OGG Theora format.
So the short answer is it can't be done. Sorry.
If the requirement is for an open source video format, you might try switching to WebM, which is supported by both Safari and IE9 (although both require the relevant video driver to be installed separately to the browser) as well as Chrome and Firefox. (See http://caniuse.com/#search=video)
IE8 simply isn't going to work for you though, no matter what format you use. It simply doesn't know what the HTML5 video tag is, and there's not much you can do about that.
Cortado streaming applet
Cortado is an open-source cross-browser and cross-platform video playback solution based upon Java technology. Leveraging the huge installation base of Java it allows web-authors to deliver Ogg Theora content without having to worry about the media playback setup installed on customers' machines. This enables e.g. Wikipedia to deliver Ogg Theora video content embedded into articles to millions of users. Originally developed at Fluendo, Cortado's latest versions are now maintained by Xiph.org. If you're interested in using free media delivery technology, e.g. to avoid the costs adjunctive to non-free technologies like H.264, and want to reach a big potential user base, Cortado may be the solution you've been looking for.

How can I playback an audio stream from a Icecast on WP7
I have tried SMF, SmoothStreaming Client and the MediaElement.
None of these have worked. The formats are either asx or and wma.
Edit:
Recently I found a new stream. this stream works when I'm in the designer. But it does not work on the device. On the device the stream is opened and closed immediately.
this stream is from an IceCast server in MP3 format. with a ?.mp3 extention. or without.
When you are streaming live radio, the stream may be encoded by an IceCast server or ShoutCast server. To read these streams, you will need to decode the stream in memomry and pass it to the MediaElement once it has been decoded.
have a look at Mp3MediaStreamSource
and Audio output from Silverlight
I lost tons of time on this, and this is the best solution I found so far.
Having had a quick look at the Icecast web site (I'm not familiar with their service) it seems that most of what they offer for streamed audio is offered in MP3 format, but that they provide this as playlists in either M3U or XSPF format. You can't provide this to any of the built-in controls or classes in the WP7 framework, but you can parse the contents of the file and pass that to a MediaElement to play individual files.
The M3U file is a simple list of the consituent URLs, so is the simplest to deal with, but the XSPF format (which is an XML format) provides more information, such as the title. You can easily use the XDocument class to parse the XSPF file and then use LINQ to query the contents.
You're not adding the ?.mp3 to the pls file right, to the embedded URL? IF you are using the URL you get from the PLS/M3U file, you might need to append a file extension to it. You can often do this by adding ?ext=.mp3 or ?file.mp3 to the URL and it should play with MediaElement, as I read on the MS dev boards that people had been getting that to work with Shoutcast streams.
Does your stream work on the device when you unplug it from the computer? Media playing doesn't work while you're plugged into the Zune sync center.

i need to use HTML 5 on my website.
Videos are in H.264 format.
Non-WebKit browsers, say, Firefox does't supports it. Firefox needs MPEG-4 instead.
I surfed the Web a little, but not found anything for this task.
The questions are:
Could you recommend some free batch video encoder (command-line or not), that supports all video/audio formats for HTML 5 video. I need to convert about 20 video files right now.
What more video formats should be used to be crossbrowser friendly ? I know about H.264, OGG and some WebM (never heart about it). Is there any list of supported video formats for each browser ?
Thanks
Forget to mention: i'm on a Mac
for converters I use ffmpeg and super
I have a mp4 file which is to be used in an application. Currently i am in the stage of figuring out the technology to be used for this job. I am familiar with flex and am hoping that i be able to use it for the application. But i can not figure out a way to play the file in flex. I have been able to play the file only in windows media player and that required the installation of three codecs : Mp4Audio.ax, Mp4Video.ax, Mp4Src.ax.
As i see it, it will be very convenient if i could embed a windows media player plugin in flex or i could specify the audio and video codecs in the flash player.
Else i will have to learn .Net, i guess.
Kindly help me out. Thanks in advance.
If you are creating an air app then you are able to start the windows-media-player using the NativeProcess. Anyway if you have a flex web app then you do not have any options on this. :(
My recommendation: Convert the video file to a valid mp4 file that can be played by flex. I suggest you to check ffmpeg library (and you could use it to convert the file to H264 format)
