Sonic Foundry recommends the following system requirements for the best
presentation viewing experience with Mediasite Player on Microsoft® Windows,
Apple® Mac® OS, Linux® as well as iPad® , iPhone®/iPod®,
Android™, Microsoft Surface™/Windows RT, and BlackBerry® mobile devices and tablets.
Before you begin, here are some things to consider:
- Chrome no longer supports NPAPI plugins. As a result, WMV playback no longer works in Chrome.
- Playback speed control is only supported on some playback platforms, depending
on the player layout, browser type and media playback element.
- If you are unable to play the presentation, contact your Mediasite administrator
to make sure that the appropriate media type is available and supported for your playback
platform. Additionally, have your Mediasite administrator verify HTTP streaming is enabled
on the Windows Media Server on port 80.
- Remember to configure pop-up blockers to allow site pop-ups. Otherwise, presentations will not appear.
Also, if you are not using Internet Explorer as your browser on Windows, there are
additional considerations.
