HowlerJS does not work *at all* in Opera v25 #236

Does not work at all. Not even the demos on your front page work! Our application has to support Opera because that is what the large-screen kiosk displays are running. These are not mobile, these are standard PCs, no frills, no nothing. All other browsers appear to be fine.

I am not going to post any sample code, because your own front page is the sample code here.

So, any ideas, folks?

Update on this, the reason that none of your demos work, is because MP3 file appears first in the file list. Opera is supposed to be supporting MP3 now. Opera does play an MP3 file straight-up, without any library, but Opera and Howler do not play nice with each other. The whole thing just hangs. If the order of the files is switched and the OGG goes first, the home page demos play. We still consider this an issue however and would like a resolution.

This is something I've addressed in the docs of the 2.0 branch. There was a similar issue in older versions of Firefox when it first started supporting mp3. Ultimately, I would recommend always using ogg or webm first and then using mp3 as the fallback to allow for IE support.
