safarihtml5-audiowav

why won't this html5 audio wav file work in Safari?

Not sure why this isn't working... Works in Chrome fine but Safari won't play it at all.

<audio controls loop>
  <source type="audio/wav" src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/33wzzsmpe6a94l4/amitabha%20mantra%20from%20tbco.wav?dl=1" />
</audio>

Solution

  • See if Dropbox has a direct, non-redirection URL to use. The URL you provided returns a 302 redirection URL:

    $ curl -I "https://www.dropbox.com/s/33wzzsmpe6a94l4/amitabha%20mantra%20from%20tbco.wav?dl=1"

HTTP/2 302
