I wish you guys would reconsider your position on mp3 support. We'd love to support mobile Firefox, but without html5 mp3 support, or flash support, that'll be a non-starter until Firefox OS has massive traction, enough to justify the cost of transcoding millions of files and maintaining 2 copies.
Edit: if you're going to down vote please explain why
- chmike 14y agoI didn't down vote but I guess some readers disagree with your comment. iOS doesn't support flash for some years now. So if firefox OS does too, it doesn't look much like an up hill path.
- wanderr 14y agoAh, to be clear I was asking for MP3 support or flash support, not both (flash support would indirectly mean MP3 support). Essentially to be on par with mobile Safari on the audio front is all I'm really asking. :)
- mbrubeck 14y agoYes, there are plans (though not without some controversy) to include H.264 and MP3 decoding at least in B2G (Firefox OS), and possibly on other platforms where they are available from the OS: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.platform/-xTei5rYThU/DkM9AIbkNNIJ https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.platform/-xTei5r... The patches have already landed in B2G: http://bugzil.la/714408 http://bugzil.la/714408
- wanderr 14y agoAwesome, that's exciting news!
