Google Chrome
Google chrome used to be pretty good, but all of a sudden I am finding it wont work on certain pages that have videos.
Looks like I need to start using firefox again.
How come i can't play vidoes? For example BT sport no longer works on chrome.

Re: Google Chrome
Its an issue with shockwave i think. I get it now and again too and shockwave occasionally slows pages down to freezing.

Re: Google Chrome
Google have stopped supporting Microsoft Silverlight, which is good because it's shit. Hopefully it will force BT, Sky and many others to start using HTML5 like Netflix.

Re: Google Chrome
do these issues also transfer to mobile as I can't watch certain channels any more on my phone. TV catchup used to work but not any more, bbc used to work but not any more. I just use bt sport and sky now.

Re: Google Chrome
It's nothing to do with shockwave, google chrome no longer supports silverlight. Hopefully BT will see the light (pun intended) and use something better.

Re: Google Chrome
I read about this, there should be an option somewhere to turn flash and silver light support back on again. They aren't fully removing the support until September.
If I get a chance I'll have a look later and see if I can find out how to do it.

Re: Google Chrome
Not sure why but I haven't noticed any problems with video.
But strangely when opening the new look motogp website using chrome its tells me it will work better if I download chrome or another browser.

Re: Google Chrome
Surely it'll be the opposite, and like me people will simply stop using chrome, and it is google that loose?Monty wrote:It's nothing to do with shockwave, google chrome no longer supports silverlight. Hopefully BT will see the light (pun intended) and use something better.

Re: Google Chrome
Microsoft stopped developing Silverlight 2 years ago, it's dead and no one should be using it.
