java cortado fallback not triggered on safari with java enabled
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Testing at school with a mac, Hit play video, the your browser is not supported message came up. However, java is installed, so it should have worked.

The applet definitely can work, and I succesfully played http://people.xiph.org/~oggk/elephants_dream/elephantsdream.html in this version of safari (After clicking through many scary applet-not-signed warnings)

Safari Version 6.1.1 (7537.73.11)

Java 7 (u45) (according to http://www.whatismybrowser.com/is-java-installed - can't figure out how to find out plugin versions directly).

The java applet fallback should let us reach a good portion of desktop Safari and IE users, so we should figure this out.


Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

I haven't actually tested this on safari, I'm assuming its the same cause. (My testing was on firefox and chrome with $wgMwEmbedModuleConfig['EmbedPlayer.DisableVideoTagSupport'] = true; )

So Cortado was not disabled along with

Not intentionally. Its supposed to be used on browsers supporting nothing else (e.g. desktop safari and msie)

This was merged some time ago, so resolving as fixed?
