Only Safari can view podcast

Having the identical issue on my server as well.

While using Firefox's Error Console, I noticed an error "img.outerHTML is undefined" which lead me to the following line of code:

var QTMediaExpander=Class.createWithSharedInstance('qtMediaExpander',true);QTMediaE xpander.prototype={initialize:function(){bindEventListeners(this,['handleClick'] );this.mEmbedFrameID=0;this.findMedia();publisher().subscribe(function(){this.co llapseAllMedia()}.bind(this),'DIALOG_WILL_SHOW');publisher().subscribe(function( ){this.findMedia()}.bind(this),'DIALOG_HIDDEN');},findMedia:function(){$$('#page _body img.posterimg').each(function(img){if(img.onclick!=this.handleClick){img.onclic k=this.handleClick;img.setAttribute('tabindex','0');img.setAttribute('role','but ton');}}.bind(this));},collapseAllMedia:function(){if(!$('page_body'))return false;$$('#page_body div.qtmedia').each(function(div){var img=div.next('img');if(!img||!img.hasClassName('posterimg'))return false;div.remove();img.show();img.setAttribute('tabindex','0');img.setAttribute ('role','button');});$$('#page_body img.posterimg').each(function(img){img.onclick=invalidate;});},expandMedia:func tion(inImg,inOptBackgroundColor){var img=$(inImg);img.setAttribute('tabindex','0');img.setAttribute('role','button') ;if(img.innerHTML)img.innerHTML='';var fullSrcMatch=img.outerHTML.match(/longdesc\s*=\s*"([^"]+)"/i);if(!fullSrcMatch) fullSrcMatch=img.outerHTML.match(/name\s*=\s*"([^"]+)"/i);if( fullSrcMatch)return;var fullSrc=fullSrcMatch[1];var backgroundColor=(inOptBackgroundColor||'#FFFFFF');if(img.width&&img.height&&ful lSrc&&fullSrc!=''){var extendHeight=(img.height>=20);var embed=Builder.node('div',{id:'qtmovie1',className:'qtmedia',style:'width:'+img. width+'px;height:'+(img.height+(extendHeight?12:0))+'px'});var alignMatch=img.className.match(/align\S+/);if(alignMatch)Element.addClassName(e mbed,alignMatch[0]);img.parentNode.insertBefore(embed,img);var objectHTML='<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="'+img.width+'" height="'+(img.height+(extendHeight?16:0))+'" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"><param name="SRC" value="/collaboration/fake.qti"><param name="QTSRC" value="'+fullSrc+'?sessionID='+server().sessionID+'"><param name="TYPE" value="video/quicktime"><param name="SCALE" value="aspect"><param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true"><param name="CONTROLLER" value="true"><param name="TARGET" value="myself"><param name="BGCOLOR" value="'+backgroundColor+'"></object>';if(SafariFixes.isiPad){embed.innerHTML=' <video src="'+fullSrc+'" width="'+img.width+'" height="'+img.height+'" controls></video>';Element.hide(img);}



Is it possible the issue relates to how it embeds the quicktime object using expandMedia:function?

Received this link from the Admin at the Podcast Producer listserv. It contains a script to run that restores functionality on (some) browsers:

Have tested successfully on Firefox, but Chrome and Internet Explorer did not work (your results may vary as I am just now testing). Let me know how it works for you?

A million thanks! It works great in Firefox now. At least a large part of my users can at least view the videos now.

Also, for some reason, Chrome has never worked for me. The video just disappears when clicked and never plays.

Confirmed this works on Firefox (Mac and PC) and Internet Explorer, but not on Chrome (Mac or PC) or, strangely enough, the latest nightly build of Webkit.

So you are seeing this work in Internet Explorer? What version of IE is working for you? I have yet to find a single machine that works with IE. They work fine with Firefox or Safari.

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't notice they updated the patch. Will try shortly.
