Hi all,
we’ve had a web page to have the ark player play a playlist, but it stopped working sometime in the last couple of months. We didn’t notice because the pages were not live.
the anchor tag for the player is
is there a simple page somewhere that shows an inline reference to the player? if I can start with a working sample i can retro fit what’s wrong.
thanks John Mott WXNA Nashville
No, it hasn’t changed recently.
I looked at the JS console for your page and saw a number of errors. The first one says that the function $ is not defined. This usually means that a script is using the jQuery library before it has been loaded.
That’s followed by other JS errors.
Dunno if it’s simple but these are the instructions. You can skip item 3 if you want. But this looks to all be already done on your page.
You could try updating your asset links. At present you have
<link rel='stylesheet' id='spinitronArkWidget-css' href='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/spinitron/ark-player@4.3.2/dist/arkPlayer.css?ver=1.0.0' type='text/css' media='all' />
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@latest?ver=1.0.0" id="spinitronJS1-js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/spinitron/ark-player@latest/dist/arkPlayer.js?ver=1.0.0" id="spinitronJS2-js"></script>
We no longer suggest specifying versions, see the instructions, although I doubt this is the cause of the problem since the code hasn’t changed in 18 months and yours was working 2 months ago.
I think those JS errors could be preventing the player from working. Feel free to call me during the week to discuss.
