Re: Format

Today I noticed the player has changed... I always used Flash but it looks like it's gone as well as WMV... My choices are now down to QT and MP4, and MP4 does not play in my antiquated Chrome or Firefox browsers...

Edited addition...
Somehow I got logged out, and when I logged in again, I noticed QT was also gone, and MP4 is now the only viewer, but unlike earlier today, now it works... But having said that, it is missing 2 options that Flash had, Flash allowed me to play the video in Full Screen mode, and it allowed me to pause and restart with a single click anywhere on the video... Not serious, but very much missed...

Ashmedi, If you double click on the playing window you should get full screen. Only problem now is the continual dropouts in the audio and video with MP4. I was told a while ago that MP4 was only meant for downloading ????

Thanks Ranger   I do remember a while back I did hear that MP4 didn't stream very well...
I opened a video today, I don't seem to have any player choices and assume the video opened with the MP4 player... Bowever, the double click on the video had no effect and didn't do anything... It might be that my OS and browsers are so old that they are not fully functional...
The combination of failing vision and the changing technology are going to drive me off the internet...

Re: Format

As Flash is a dead format we've deleted it.  It's being phased out across the web.  In future we'll have only MP4 but the good news is, we'll be upgrading more of the old videos, and in about a month all new releases will be in full HD (plus a smaller version for streaming).

Currently a bunch of old videos aren't working but that will be fixed soon.

Re: Format

We've reverted to Flash temporarily so we can iron out a few problems.

Morning Richard...  I had to drop my IFM in Jan of 2016 when my vision dropped to a point I could no longer see and appreciate the videos... I still miss IFM, and I kept BA and ISM because they were usually easier to see... But these days, they are getting harder to see and are more blurred and indistinct...
Now I have a new game, what will drive me off the web first, my failing vision, my antique system failure, or new technology I can't adapt to... Sad state of affairs, but that is my life... Thanks for all your help Richard
