i am using the standalone version of the WordPress audio player on this non-WordPress site: http://www.circa1939.com/judy.html (scroll to the bottom). the site went live last month and the player had been showing up and working fine – it should appear below the Playlist. yesterday we discovered that the player is not showing up.

here is what i have tried:
– erased the two audio player files (audio-player.js and player.swf), downloaded again, reloaded
– updated Flash Player – currently running v.10.0.45.2

any further suggestions? i love the look and features of this player and would like to keep using it. thanks.

Me too! Well, sort of.

Just a few days ago I implemented the stand-alone version at http://www.Neverwonder.com/. I checked it with Firefox 3.6.2 and it’s fine. But I forgot to check it with IE and a user told me the player wasn’t showing up. Sure enough, I go to check (IE 8) and it doesn’t appear!

Any ideas and help would be so very much appreciated.

I love the way this works in FF and would hate to stop using it if I can’t get it to work in IE.

Any resolution on this one? I am having the exact same issue! Ugh.

SOLUTION!

Actually, from a much-more-clever-than-I friend, turns out having the last parameter before the </script> tag in the header for the standalone player have a comma at the end screws up in IE. Firefox reads it correctly but IE looks to see what the next parameter is due to the comma. When it doesn’t find that next parameter, it decides the whole thing doesn’t work. Good ol’ Microsoft…

CONFIRMED SOLUTION!

Thanks for posting. I just applied the fix (or to be more exact, deleted the offending comma) and now have a working player in IE 8 and FF 3.6x.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello,

I’ve got the same problem and I cant’ find a reason why the player dosn’t appear. Here’s the testsite. Does anybody see a problem in the source-code?

Well this is an old thread but since I was experiencing the same problem I thought I would post my solution here. Make sure that you are using <param name=”movie”> or else the embedded player will not show up in IE. I was using <param name=”audio”> which works in all other browsers, but not IE. Changing it to “movie” made it function correctly across the board.
