Embedded mp3 player issues

[coregis]

• [ ] It is not possible to move forward or backward in time using the time slider in the embedded mp3 player
• [x] If an audio file is playing in a pop-up, and the pop-up is closed using the closed button, the player persists and the audio continues playing until another pop-up is generated
• [x] It is possible to play all of the mp3 files in a pop-up simultaneously; I'm not sure what kind of maniac would do this so it's probably not a big deal

@eldang if it's going to be involved (like more than an hour or so of your time) to address these I'm fine to leave these behaviors as-is

[eldang]

omg I'm testing this and it is most certainly possible to make it sound like one is losing one's mind.

@coregis I am finding that the time slider works, within the constraint that I can only go as far as the file has been loaded so far. Can you take a second look and see if that's the issue you're having or if it's a more complete failure?

Meanwhile I'm focussing on the middle point which I think is the one most likely to really frustrate users. I notice that it also applies to switching tabs within a popup, which is possibly worse. I'm going to see if there's a way to write a function that stops all audio, and have it triggered by:

1. The close popup button, which would resolve the specific issue you'd noticed.
2. Clicking on a tab header, which would resolve the version I just noticed.
3. Possibly starting any other audio, which would resolve your last observation. Though like you I'm much less concerned about that one. If I can get the other parts of this working, then there won't be a situation of multiple clips playing that isn't easy for the user to sort out for theirself.

@eldang Ha ha yes it definitely has a crazy-making capability! I am experiencing the time-slider working within the limit of the loaded file in Firefox, but in Chrome (at least on my Windows 10 laptop) I have no ability to move within the audio at all.

I think your proposed solutions for the middle point are great. And honestly I'm fine if we can't get the time slider in the mp3 player to work in Chrome.

You're right about the time slider - I also can't get it to work in Chrome. But I think that probably isn't worth digging into now. #23 resolves the other issues, which turned out to be a little simpler to do than I had expected.
