When I added an HTML5 file to BrightAuthor to play streaming radio I got the error "Your browser does not support HTML5 audio"
I don't understand what BrightAuthor means as my default browser is Chrome and the HTML5 file works perfectly in Chrome.
Does BrightAuthor have an internal web browser that can't play HTML5 audio?
are you seeing this error when using preview on your computer or when you publish to the brightsign? brightauthor uses IE on the computer for preview.
I was seeing this error in the Brightauthor preview but I just did some research and found out that IE does NOT play AAC audio streaming. WIth MP3 audio streaming it has no problem.
My HTML5 file, using an MP3 stream, now works in all browsers but still not work in Brightauthor
Either way the error "Your browser does not support HTML5 audio" is a bit misleading.
This is my code. Can anybody explain why this does not work in Brightauthor?

I saved your info here to a file called shout.html and was able to publish it to my brightsign running beta firmware 6.1.137 and it's playing currently. It doesn't play in the preview, but does play on the unit.
ok. Many thanks I will give it a go and let you know the result
