Hi , if I dare to go a bit off-topic , I would say my thoughts about current solutions for theora playing in IE.<div><br></div><div>Currently apart from IE and safari 100% of the browsers can read OGV. Those 2 browsers represent 50% on my websites.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Safari is a special case. Quicktime always works and java is preinstalled on MAC. I usually propose to install the QT Xiph plugins.</div><div><br></div><div>IE is difffent, installed windows plugins can differ over the visitors, few years ago Java was preinstalled in most cases and people really need it. Now I see 20% of my visitors that don't have java installed and launching cortado will ask them to go througha 15 MB download and at least 30 seconds install just to play a Video.</div>
<div><br></div><div> But a new solution arised few months ago : Chrome Frame.</div><div><br></div><div>By triggering through IE User agent detection the installation of chrome frame can start automaticthis ally or you can use the offline installer. The bad news is that it's even Bigger than Java installer : 20MB :-( </div>
<div><br></div><div>But after this installation, Your website ( and most big google websites ) appear as fast as in Chrome.</div><div><br></div><div>I do think if you have issue with Java, that chrome frame is a solution to explore.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/10/13 Greg Hendley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ghendley@us.ibm.com">ghendley@us.ibm.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I have need to make an .ogv file available
on IE6. I am using cortado_latest.jar to make this happen. Hovering over
the playing video causes the status bar to appear as expected. In the status
bar the play button, pause button, and stop button all work as expected.
However the slider has no effect. I have examined and tried several of
the parameters but see nothing that would make the slider in the bar work.
When using Firefox to view the same file the slider works. </font>

<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Any suggestions?</font>
