audio file player Windows vs. Mac

April 1, 20223 yr

I have a solution which can play audio files which are cloud hosted, using a web viewer with this code:

"data:text/html, <body style='border=0;overflow:hidden'> <body topmargin=0> <body leftmargin=0> <audio controls preload='metadata' autoplay style='width:480px;'> <source src=" & tempmaster::global_track_path & " type='audio/mp4'> <source src="& tempmaster::global_track_path & " type='audio/mp3'> Your browser does not support HTML5 audio. </audio> Download Audio: <a href=" & tempmaster::global_track_path & ">M4A</a> "

I found that using this method is much faster than downloading the file to a container and then playing it, and also the HTML5 controls look good and work well on Mac, on which I get, from left to right, a reverse by 15 seconds button, a play/pause button, a forward by 15 seconds button, the play wiper, audio output device, and speed controls. And autoplay works.

However, when I open the same solution on Windows, all I get is a play/pause button, the wiper, and speed controls, and auto play does not work.

Is there any way to improve this on Windows?
