Microsoft Edge 41.16299.15.0 issue with jwplayer 7.12.11
Hello! Latest Edge show mp4 in very small mode in player. Look at screen. https://demo.chevereto.com/images/2017/11/15/zFk.jpg All of kind stretching are ignored by browser. Screen resolutuion is in screenshot https://demo.chevereto.com/images/2017/11/15/zFI.jpg
Using HLS is a fix that you can potentially use right away. The fix for MP4s in Edge 16 will be in JW 8.1 in a few weeks.
Our product manager will need to decide if there is enough JW7 usage in Edge 16 to justify the engineering effort, as Edge 16 was released after JW7 development ended.
Nothing official yet, as the office was closed last Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, but I will check again now that everyone is back.
And here is a potential workaround for JW7 I found in the short term. Basically you remove the transform, top, and left CSS settings from the player when the MP4 first starts playing:
We are not seeing high usage levels for MP4s in Edge 16 on JW7, but we will keep an eye on it.
We have lots of customers that have already transitioned to JW8, so we think you should too. And JW8 will be getting most of the attention from our engineers moving forward for things like new features, faster load times, bug fixes, etc.
One of the downsides to the self-hosted player is that you do not automatically get updates. We have to make changes from time to time to support changes on the browser side.
Another example is that we see Chrome 64 (set to be released in January) is going to change some of the autostart behavior on desktops. Our engineers are most likely going to update the player accordingly, and that change will come to JW8 first and we cannot promise that JW7 will be patched.
I'm understand, thank You for explain. So, 1 question, why do You tracking so much information from each player? For debug You can tracking beta players, but from each player, each time?
