Edge browser does not support Silverlight. So Safari does not then support HTML5 audio or video without QuickTime being installed, just when we were getting used to browsers being ‘standalone’. On 'Windows 10' you must change the default browser to IE11 otherwise your LightSwitch app testing in Visual Studio will not work and you go around in circles with the message 'Silverlight developer runtime not installed'. Needless to say that this came as a bit of a surprise to us. It turns out Safari relies on QuickTime to play HTML5 based media. I started to suspect it was an installation issue, but had no idea of the root cause until someone on the jPlayer group thread we’d started mentioned that they’d had similar issues with Safari 4 and that QuickTime had been the culprit. Asking around on Twitter others had no such issues on Windows 7. Mark P on the other hand had it working under XP but not under Windows 7. Beside Macintosh OS 10.5.7+ operating system, all other os doesn't support Safari with silverlight. Silverlight is only supported in Safari in Macintosh OS 10.5.7+ (intel-based). Next I installed on a copy of XP running under Parallels Desktop. Based on the Silverlight system requirements. I ran the test and sure enough it failed. So I decided to investigate further and installed on my little used Windows XP partition.

The recently upgraded version of Safari on my Mac worked fine, in the sense that it passed all the expected tests we’d set up for jPlayer compatibility. It wasn’t until Sunday afternoon that I finally started to investigate the issue. Over the weekend I upgraded to Safari 5.0.1, around about the same time my colleague Mark P informed me of a potential HTML5 audio issue with this latest incarnation of Apple’s browser.
