MP£ Browser on Apple/ipad #63

Closed ramblerswebs closed 8 years ago

ramblerswebs commented 8 years ago

I like this extension very much, but it does not seem to work on my Ipad.

I note that the source code is

two things concern me the

I am not in to any of this so any help gratefully received

I noticed the //images... at the beginning of the src too. I used Firebug to fiddle with it, and it works when I change it to src="http://test.thepioneers.org.uk/images/audio/...". Did you try removing the / in "Player source code" (where it says src="/%3")?

If it works, that would trump looking it looking ok to me. My hypothesis is that I came up with the original src="/%3" on a system where Joomla wasn't mounted to the root of the context path. Good luck!
