A few problems.

I have a few problems.
Sound cuts out or doesn’t fully play on an iPhone.
Robot like sounds on an iPhone, after the first play, after an update.
Sounds don’t play on 1 year old Android phones (4.4.2).

Android Problem:
Tested on old Android like 4.1 wihtout problem.iPhone Problem:
Sorry but I don’t have any iPhone for testing, we will have to wait if there is more report.—
Can you test official wavesurfer website with your devices ?
And then the demo page on my website ?—
I think I will make a setting for WebAudio / MediaElement type of loading. No need to have it as a shortcode but maybe it can be helpful to be able to switch.
If the problem effectively come from wavesurfer, The previous WebAudio to MediaElement is the only suspect at this date.The sounds all get cut off on iPhones in the shops and iPads now.
What Android phone did you test on?
I will test to see if the sound gets cut off on your page tonight.
What is the URL to the page I should test?Strange thing that I didn’t get other bug reports if the problem is that bad.
You can test the script on the CodePen I use for dev.
I just created the method to choose the way the file is loaded from the HTML.
The first element is actually loaded with WebAudio (previous method), and the other with MediaElement (original and actual method).
Does one play without problem ?
If yes, edit the pen by replacing “debug” by “pen” in the url and try to replace the URL of the audio files (in the HTML) by one of your sound and make report.I could play the files you made.
I disabled everything and used a default theme but the sounds are still cutting out on my website agreatdream.com on the iPhone 🙁
So it sounds like a problem between your files and the iPhone, the pen showcased use the same script as the one use in WordPress-WP, no more no less.
Check if your files have a “regular” codec, bitrate, resolution
like mp3 stereo 16 bits 44 100 Hz at 128 kbits/s.Also, updates your iPhone apps (and system if required – this may be a bit extreme but who knows), test on different browser app…
I’m sorry but I cannot really help you more since it seems that you problem is very specific to your particular device/file. 🙁
Can you give me some files to test?
I disabled everything and still have the same problem.
Everything was working on my iPhone a while back with an older version of your plugin. Maybe the program is using the default JavaScript file now which isn’t any good. Your old file or programming was fantastic when it was working.
I also got a blank wave pattern on another Android phone today. I can send an image if it helps.
You can use the files linked in CodePen, as they were working for you.
Old version fo the plugin can be found right here
WaveSurfer-WP — WordPress Plugins – Developpers
Tell us if it works.
It it works with the codepen file, try with yours and if it is still working, replace backend: ‘MediaElement’ by backend: ‘WebAudio’ in last version of js initializer.
Good luck !
I mark this as resolved as no other users reported problems I suppose it is a problem with your particular devices, or with the wavesurfer-js and not wavesurfer-wp directly.
I figured out the bug in WordPress by clearing out my htaccess file but I can’t get files to play on Android 2.3.5. The model of phone was SH-06D. The play and stop buttons show up properly but the waveform is missing and the sounds don’t play when pressing the play button.
I’m using the newest regular version of your program now.
If it is a problem specific to the waveforms and a particular device, then there is nothing I can do about it, it is a wavesurfer-js issue 🙁
I’m not sure if it is just one phone or every Android device with that version. Is there anyway to test Android versions? I don’t have a phone but can try a few things if there is a way.
Hi,
I’m sorry but I cant support you more on this,
We saw that it is not related to the wordpress integration but to your files against your particular OS/device (and maybe with wavesurfer-js). –‘I got my iPhone working and all the MP3s were tested and okay.
The Android isn’t my phone.
