Integrate HTML5 with play.spotify.com

[Stigmata]

With the new Xbox one coming out and it not supporting flash, I believe Spotify needs to revamp their play.spotify.com site to support HTML5 also, flash is a bit old, isn't it? I think this will greatly improve the experience on the site as well. <br><br>Thank you.

I know this thread is over a year old, but is PURE ASININE that Spotify does not support HTML5.

I'm so happy that ADOBE CANCER is gone...I've ripped off my machine.
Anywebite not 21st century enough to offer this. I won't use them
(never installed Silverlight)

XBOX (as of 6/2014 Supports HTML5)
http://www.lostdecadegames.com/play-our-games-on-your-xbox-360/


GEE WHIZ the World's Largest Gateway of Video's (YouTube) HTML5 compliant. .Adobe is D.O.A., finally


"Pure Provoiders" (like Netflix)---dropped that TRAIN WRECK Silverlight. And others dropping Adobe.
Going to full support to HTML5----Netflix very judicious....Studios scared, so baby stepping them through it.

This required adoption of a new device security model that works with the emerging HTML5 Web Cryptography API.  It would have been very challenging to integrate this new model into our original architecture due to poor separation of business and security logic.

(yes, they have DRM-esque support) *CLEARLY* content providers will never deploy until proof.

Only thing I can think is Spotify is so tightly Integrated with Facebook. (aka-"in bed with").
Spotify can't "move"  (since Facebook is "dumping it" *shaking my head*)


Lack of HTML5 is why I quit all Spotify.
Cannot deal with the Spotify Client Install player (forcing me to be a Peer and a Peer in *GB* FASHION)

I suggest MOG (especially since Apple is buying Beats Music and Apple is HTML5 compliant in Safari.

PS. Since YouTube.com is playing Politics at the cost of HTML5 user experience

Chek out Cam Designs "Vdeo for everybody":. Pretty slick

RE: YouTube.com ----PROOF (not conspiracy) If you switch to HTML5 (force HTML5 if available)
https://www.youtube.com/html5

A lot of videos will "Hang" about 5-secon mark. Erros with "Want to know why performance is slow" click here

It opens you're Provider.

Funny, it *NEVER* locks up if you choose (testing) *NOT* to skip the Advertisement, works just fine.
Also, if you simply click "open"--(the "Why")==Focus that window for 1-=second---Jump back to YouTube.com Window Focus--the "Hang" stops--about 5-seconds play starts.

*MAGICALLY* the video plays perfect....Go Figure

All "Net Neutrality" posturing.

As a Linux user, I am glad to have a way to natively run Spotify Client.

Despite that there wasn't a new version of the client for ages, and I would be very happy to use the web player (as an google-chrome "app"), as I do for many other websites (Netflix), but flash is too restrictive and inefficient.

This idea is *very* important to me !

[marcomu]

Spotify should follow Netflix's lead! With their Premium Video Extensions Spotify would be able to ship a flash-free experience on play.spotify which should be totally fine for content providers. It works with Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and soon Mozilla Firefox. What are you waiting for?

[davidsanan]

I agree and support the idea of webplayer using html5 instead of flash. Flash just...

[TheDawnofGlory]

Spotify is the big record labels ***** (female dog reference)

Ehem... So, in the meantime, I'm sticking with DEEZER (html5 friendly).

Hey everyone! We're marking this as a 'good idea' today, please keep leaving your comments and kudos so we can see how much support there is around this. Thanks!

Can Flash just die already? It's horrible. HTML5 FTW!

[etandel]

Adobe dropped support for Flash on Linux, which makes spotify's dependency on this "technology" more than annoying: it is *insecure*. Flash has a long history of vulnerabilities on other systems as well, even with full support from Adobe. Deezer, rdio, netflix and other streaming services are using HTML5, why can't spotify do it?

As a developer, I find difficult to take this company seriously when such an important issue is taking more then 1 year to even be considered.
