I thought I may have finally found my video solution for hosting and streaming video from DarrenCalhoun.com. And after spending hours converting and uploading videos using a the wonderful WordTube plugin, I never stopped to check and see if the site would work in Internet Explorer (which has been giving me drama through this whole process!). Well… I was all ready to call it a night when this dawned on me and BLAST… the site is NOT loading in Internet Explorer!
So that means BACK to YouTube hosted crappy videos (for now). If ANYONE can help me figure out how to make whatever corrections are needed to make this site work in IE7 – I’d love to hear from you!
Here’s a link to one of the pages with flash video embeded (opens in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer)
I was planning on blogging about how excited I am that I actually got around to encoding and posting two videos for my actor page. But that excitement got all eaten up when I tried to show the page to a friend who uses Internet Explorer 7. At present, this blog will not display on internet explorer browsers!!! From what I can tell it’s not the whole blog – just pages with flash — which was why I stopped using IE in the first place. I wanted to tell him to go and immediately download Firefox, but I’m not so happy with Firefox 3… right now it seems to be susceptible to some of the same seemingly random shut-downs that IE was prone to. The only good thing about Firefox is that it offers the ability to restore your browsing session after a failure.
In other random malfunctions… many pages that use Java Script for advanced functions (like uploading a batch of files) are now coming up with errors on my system! The Java site reports that it’s a known issue: “Too many virtual machines running in the same process” but there’s no definitive solution for it. I haven’t been uploading my batches of photos on sites like flikr, facebook, and elsewhere. Hopefully an update will be released soon. I guess everyone is having growing pains at the moment… it’ll get better after a while.
