Chrome also. Thanks for responding. I see that you are an Admin. Do you know if the powers that be are aware of the issue? Is there any hope at all for a fix?

I’ve sent a query to the head honchos with a link to this thread. We’ll see what happens. Don’t know if there are plans to drop in a HTML5 player.

Yeah, my first thought was that Chrome must have stopped supporting Flash. Which, from my reading, I guess they pretty much have. But they still have it as an option and I have ‘allow’ selected on this and one other site. I have no memory of actively choosing ‘allow’ but it is set to ‘allow’.

currently we are in need to tech help at ccM. we are trying to work out a solution, but will need to replace the player and our volunteers can’t get to it for a couple of weeks. in the interim, i’m using the beta site for listening, and the player works there. apologies.

Hey, that’s a good workaround. Thanks. It does play and not download. I was trying the stream button as a workaround but the streaming from there was glitchy/gappy.
Still - we shouldn’t have to find a workaround (obviously). How many potential listeners, or even regular listeners like myself, are coming here, clicking play, hearing nothing and going away? I hope somebody can get installation of a working player moved to the top of the to do list.

Works on my iPhone (Safari) but not MacBookPro (Chrome.)
beta’s ok on Chrome.

Yay, success. Thank you. I didn’t have the “plugins were blocked on this page” icon showing and in settings flash was enabled (but not working). I went through all the steps on the page you linked to, finally re-installing flash. Now I have the icon and when I allow from there it works.

Unfortunately it’s not a site-wide permission and I have to click to allow plug-in on every song page. So - better - but I think we still need a new player (html?).

Full site enablement is advertised and there is a place to add the site address on one of the plugin control pages. Let us know of you get it working.

Reportedly, if the server supports HTML5, recent versions of Chrome should be go for playback.

Everything I read on the internet must be true!!!

I have ccmixter.org on the allow list on the ‘manage plug-in blocking’ page. Still a no go site-wide-wise, but at least I can allow on a page by page basis now.

Yeah. Allow-list is not working.

Suggest ponting your friend to beta.ccmixter.org

Seems more playback friendly.

I’ve just started to explore the beta site. Took me a while to figure out ‘remix tree’ is where the songs are (why not just ‘remixes’ or ‘mixes’ or even just ‘songs’?). I guess all the song information is still there and I’ll probably get used to the new way to access it but I’m not seeing a way to leave a review. I see how to read reviews but not write them. What am I missing?

When logged in, right side of the review bar is a pencil icon for reviews.

What I did not find is a way to delete, edit, reply, reply yourself or quote a review. Maybe this is a work in progress and not beta (pre-release software).

I dislike the beta site organization, look and feel, and especially dislike search capability or lack thereof. After some back and forth with da guru, we agreed that I am not the target user.

Considering the reported software maintenance and upgrade budget, beta mixter is wonderful.

For examples of simple but useful producer friendly search capability, check out https://www.looperman.com/acapellas
and https://www.looperman.com/loops. This approach could be modified to include cc license types.

You’re not the target user? You’re an active participant and damn fine mixer/musician(s). Who is the target user?

The End User

I gathered from the discussion the target is an ever increasing Googlicious Youtubelicious audience of end users.

Since we don’t pay a service fee to use ccmixter, I stopped complaining about the beta site user interface.

Yeah, that’s the big side bonus. Main site should now work OK in Android and iPhone.

Now the player suddenly disappears with the uploads!

In Firefox, in Opera

in Edge: >This file type is not supported.

This is going to get fixed. Basically we’re looking for certain types of links in the rendered web page (m3u links) and replacing them with the html5 player.

Looks like the playlists don’t work the same way, so I’ll have to devise something specific.

As always, the only delay is how very little spare time I have!
