Hi,
I am trying to generate HTML 5 format mimic movies to add to our doc set. They display fine in Chrome and Firefox but not in IE. I have tried adding the ffmpeg.exe encoder to the HTML5 Options but I am still getting an [object Event] error when I try to view the movie in IE. Does anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Karen

Re: Problem generating HTML 5 content for IE
Which version of IE are you using? Here is a page that lists the HTML5 capabilities of browsers: https://html5test.com/results/desktop.html It shows that IE is always at the end of the pack.

Re: Problem generating HTML 5 content for IE
Hi, I'm using IE11. Unfortunately this is the browser that my company supports. Is there no solution to this error?
Thanks,

Re: Problem generating HTML 5 content for IE
Hey, Karen, this is may be a silly question, but have you checked to see if all the updates for IE11 have been installed? There were some known HTML5 video bugs in IE11 patches that returned Object object errors, which have since been patched out.

You may also want to look through the Internet options on the system you are using. For IE there is plenty of stuff that can be turned off.

Re: Problem generating HTML 5 content for IE
I've also recently experienced this issue when using IE 11 for Windows 7, IE was returning an [object event] caution popup message from the webpage during the initialization of the tutorial movie and it would then hang on the first frame of the movie.
Possible solution:
After a brief search of the internet it all comes down to IE not supporting the WebM video format in its native state. So far we have not had any further issues using the WebM component for IE9+ (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/webmmf/) which was made available by the WebM: an open web media project (http://www.webmproject.org)
Hope this helps solve your issue with running HTML 5 movies in IE.
Regards,
Andy
