Hi there, I've been trying to port my iPhone app to an html5 webworks app and have managed to get it working fine on some Blackberries but the audio isn't working on several models. I'm using HTML5 audio, so I figured it would work on any BB with OS 6 and up but so far that hasn't been the case. I've seen it running fine on some Curves, but seen it fail on some Torches. Do certain models handle html5 audio differently?

Could you define the problem more precisely?

hi Striss,

I've got the problem with Audio tag on Torch (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Web-and-WebWorks-Development/Streaming-mp3-using-Audio-tag-do...)

It works in browser, but stalled in the app. Have you found a solution for that?

Same issue here, loading stalls in the app, working fine in browser. Did you find a solution?

Hi,

In my case the problem was that audio tag within the app couldn't handle 302 redirect, that is used by Soundcloud. What I had to do is to make a proxy service, that returns a direct URL from Soundcloud. It's a dirty and not user-friendly workaround, but it works.

Hi mikebevz, thank you.

Is your app working on OS 6.0+ devices or OS 7.0+ devices? 

[mikebevz]

I haven't tested on 6, but 7 works fine.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately, I don't have an OS 7 device. Did your app work also fine in simulators?

[mikebevz]

I am developing under Mac, so I don't have any simulators. It's not a bad idea though, I need to bootstrap a vmware machine.
