I was testing a page (see Private) that is using an mp4 video as a background within LayerSlider and in IE it takes a very long time to load, where on Chrome and Safari it loads immediately. Is there something different I need to do for IE?
I’m using this code that I found in your threads:
<video id='ls-video'> <source src='/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/coffeehouse-mobileusers-sm-bitrate.mp4'> </video>Hey laptophobo,
no, not as far as I know. However IE is not known to be the best browser out there, so you might want to switch to a different one.
Best regards,
AndyYes, I only use I.E. for testing (so, my changing browsers is not the real issue here). When I create a website, it needs to view reasonably well on all browsers–even I.E.–for those who don’t use faster loading ones.
What about using other video formats other than mp4?
Hi John,
I’m using IE 11. But, I swapped out the video to a more compresses size of 1.2mb (instead of 5) and it’s now viewing on IE quickly.
One other question. I saw a post by one of your other techs recommending multiple versions of the video. So, within the “video/audio” area of LayerSlider, I am using the following code. Is this the best one to use with LayerSlider?
<video width=”320″ height=”240″ preload=”metadata” controls>
<source src=”/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/coffeehouse-mobileusers-sm-bitrate.webm” type=”video/webm”>
<source src=”/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/coffeehouse-mobileusers-xsm-bitrate.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″>
</video>
