Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

Trying to use Javascript to test if the browser supports MP3 audio.


Actual results:

canPlayType('audio/mpeg; codecs="mp3"') returns emptry string which is suppose to mean that the browser can't play MP3, but the browser can in fact play it.


Expected results:

canPlayType('audio/mpeg; codecs="mp3"') should return "probably" or "maybe" to indicate that the browser can play it.

canPlayType('audio/mpeg') returns "maybe".

I'm using Firefox Mobile 18.0 on Boot2Gecko 1.0.1.0-prerelease.

On the Gonk platform, we didn't put mp3 as a codec into codec list for checking. I am not sure this is necessary to do this.

Hi Paul,

May I know this is mandatory or not? Very Thanks.

Dup of bug 838331? Or are there any b2g specific things?
Yes, it should be the same issue but just report on different platform.

Hi scootergrisen,

Please move to that bug for following discussion. Thanks.
