Poster doesn't appear on Chrome

[yashmika]

since couple of days I have noticed that the poster doesn't appear on Chrome browsers. I checked with other browsers (Firefox, IE etc..) and no issue found.

Actually, until the file (in my case mp3) loads the poster appears and as soon as the song starts playing the poster disappears. (eg. https://www.singfony.com/songs/rb/raa-sihinee)

Can you give us an example of one where the poster doesn't appear? What version of Video.js? Is this for audio only as well?

Keep in mind that Video.js isn't really intended to be used for audio, so the poster disappearing when the song starts makes sense. VJS hides the poster automatically when content starts playing, which is what happens when you start playing an audio track. You can adjust this behavior, but you'd need to customize it on your end.

Hi mmcc, thank for replying.

• You can click on link given above to understand what I am talking about.
• I am using version 4.3.0
• this happens only with audio

on other browsers, the poster continues to appear while playing the audio. So, is it a bug?
What customizations should I do? where can I find them?
Thanks

As @mmcc said the player isn't really set up to handle audio, specifically in things like the poster. I will be some day. For now you're probably better off adding the image you want to use as a background, instead of relying on the poster.

I just tried your page on Chrome on a Mac and it seems to working, so maybe you found a solution?

Hope that helps!

Closing this as it doesn't require any immediate changes to the project, but feel free to continue discussing.
