Mozilla firefox is disabling flash support starting january 2020 #261

Since mozilla firefox is disabling the adobe flash support starting in 2021 which means that flash API option to stream the audio will no longer work. The only way to play audio using Sound Manger 2 is through HTML5 audio. We have experienced some inconsistencies with the HTML5 audio. For example, the original mp3 gets a little modified if played using HTML5 audio on firefox. Is there a flash alternative being supported by SoundManager2

Pardon a month-late reply to this one - I've been tracking the EOL date of Flash, and the plugin (Flash Player) will "forcefully" stop running Flash content as of January 12th, 2021.

There is no other "flash alternative," here. HTML5 is the way forward. If there are specific bugs or issues, it may be worth reviewing the way you serve MP3 files to clients and seeing if that has an effect on the way playback works for you.

If you have specifics of issues, I may be able to help troubleshoot with further detail.
