  • Thank you for checking. I've not checked too many different browsers until your comment.

    It's working for IE, Chrome, and Firefox on computer. It's also working on android devices.

    However, it's not working on apple devices.

    Thank you for narrowing down the problem. This is really unfortunate because most parents/students here have iphones and I must get it working for that.

    I've checked the MIME types and those are set up correctly.

    I've also checked out some posts on the forums here and will try some things mentioned.

    -I've tried converting the files myself (rather than having construct do it). Didn't work.

    -I've tried removing the offline.appcache (and editing the index.html) and that didn't work either.

    -I've tried both Chrome and Safari on several iphones (thinking that it might be a safari problem). The problem persisted on both browsers.

    Now I'm going to try downgrading the audio quality and try that.

    Side question: Is there a recommended plug in for construct that could help with audio and perhaps help in this situation?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Once I upload a game to my server and try to play it, my browser tries to download the audio files and save them on my computer. I get dozens of download pop ups. This definitely shouldn't be happening.

    The sounds are merely there to be played once a button is clicked. That doesn't happen either.

    If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. My "game" is to help my ESL students practice English at home and I hope to get this ready for them ASAP.

    I have uploaded a small test file to try as well. A separate project. The problem persists even in that.

    Here's the test.

    emable.cn/sprouts/soundtry/index.html

    What I want is to just play a simple audio when I press the black button.

    If I play this on my computer, it works just fine. Same with the original "game". I've talked with the ISP and they've said the MIME types are working fine so it shouldn't be that.

    Thank you for your help.

  • First, I'd like to say nice to meet you all! I have been using construct for a while now and I absolutely love it. Making games and such has been very simple. I am making educational software and games for my school using construct 2. Whenever I have a problem I search the forums and have been able to find answers for almost everything this way. That is, until now.

    Problem: I am having trouble displaying video with my app.

    I have created a series of videos that students should be able to watch and learn from. I've followed some guides here on how to import the video files into construct and have them set up in the properties.

    The .webm videos work correctly, although, there is no sound.

    If I have only the .mp4 videos in the properties, I have just sound, but no video.

    And this is on my localhost playback. When I upload the files to the server, there is no playback. Video or sound.

    Through my searches here, I've seen that it could be the MIME types on the server. I don't think I have access to change these on my end. Is this something I must contact my host about?

    I've also seen that perhaps I could add a file called .htaccess to the parent folder on the server and add the MIME types myself. Is that possible? I have created a .htaccess file and added what I found in the MIME type page in the manual on this site. This was just a few minutes ago. I saw no change. Is there something specific I need to do to make them work?

    Other notes:

    -For my server access, I use Filezilla.

    -I am using Construct 2.

    -Windows 10

    -Tried videos in Chrome, Explorer, and Firefox.

    -Have also tried in Safari.

    Thanks for reading this and I hope that someone here can help me. I'm sorry if I'm unclear....
