IE11 Release Preview for Windows 7 Now Available

[sygnus21]

Always something right? All it takes is one little thing to trip you up at times! But at least you now know where the hold up was.

Yeah you're right

Still can't get IE11 to play live streamed audio/video - Giants.com | Gameday LIVE

Will play videos, just not those live streamed. Currently the Giants/Eagles game is being broadcast live (1-4 PM EDT) but IE11 won't play it. It'll play a 10 second commercial, but when it gets to the live part, goes dead.

Under Firefox all is good.

With WaterFox I had to click the "install missing plugins" while 11 played it on the spot without any hesitation. The one idea that might help when looking at the problems you seem to be continuing to see would be removing the present 11 install once you have a fresh download of the preview to see it go again fresh. This would likely correct anything the first install didn't see go on fully.

That's nice, but that's got nothing to do with my issue. And for me, at least Firefox works once I installed flash. With IE, even insuring flash is installed, it's still struggling.

And I've uninstalled and reinstalled IE11 and still no go. BTW I'm also having the same issue under Windows 8.1 with IE11. It's definitely an IE11 issue. Hopefully the issue is sorted with the "official" release of 11.

What I do know is that both W7 and W8 using IE11 display the same issues. 11 definitely needs work.

So far I have only seen one hiccup with 11 simply taking forever to load up the first time you go to use IE upon each powerup of the day. The need to install Flash Player or Java runtime separately wasn't even needed to watch any embedded clips or YouTube videos.

it runs really well, and I was chuffed to bits
but then I tried to pay a bill using AllPay and
it just refused to respond, it just sat there doing nothing..

had to revert to ie10 to sort that out, but I'm having another go now..

is there a way to fix the problem with payment sites (I assume it's a firewall/security issue of some kind..??)

 

[sygnus21]

Try compatibility view... Tools, click Compatibility View Settings, and add the troublesome website.

Fixed my issue here: http://www.sevenforums.com/news/305...w-windows-7-now-available-10.html#post2552797 which basically sounds like your issue.

cheers!
I'll give that a go when the next payment is due..

Give it a try! It worked for others having similar problems. Some sites are a bit more touchy on security then others where the unfinished form of 11 won't meet what the site expects or the site will need to be updated once 11 is out. At some sites there are some elements required that are not in the preview form of IE to explain other things.

- smileys don't work at all and things like the youtube linky don't function correctly on this site..

What do you mean smileys don't work? Where... here?

Mine are working.

Try disabling your av or firewall program and then reloading this page. I think you will then find everything works. Once I shut down VIPRE Internet Security 2013 here and clicked on the link in the automatic email sent out for replies everything was found available in 11.

Lately even in WaterFox 13 I have been finding the web filtering/internet security has been hampering things here. As soon as I shut VIPRE down and reload the same page suddenly everything is back working again. even the smileys since I posted this with 11.

are you suggesting that ie11 will only function correctly if/when I disable my AV/Firewall..


- isn't that just a little bit dangerous..??

I agree; and that should never be the case.

That said - disabling, you could try turning off Protected Mode to see if that works. Though I don't necessarily like that move either, it's a lot safer than disabling your AV.



Didn't work for my issue, but...

 

[BugMeister]

have identical settings to yours, as per your "Internet Options"
but the various options available above the posting toolbox still won't work..

eg. I have to manually add the youtube brackets myself to attach a vid to a posting..

You lost me ???

Are you talking bout posting YouTube clips here? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/159329-youtube-video-add-seven-forums-post.html



I'm running IE11 as I post this and just attached the above clip for testing purposes and all is fine.

 

[BugMeister]

I'm talking about this site - and it's fairly obvious, really..



usually I paste the link, then highlight it
then click on the youtube tool from the postbox banner
this used to place the youtube commands around the link
then I deleted everything except the required bit
and - hey presto the vid appears in the posting
this is the usual procedure..


with ie11 this is not so - I have to manually type the youtube commands [youtupe][/youtupe]
- the smileys don't work automatically, as they used to with ie10


- on this site..

 

[sygnus21]

OK.

For me, I'm not experiencing those issues here with 11. Smileys and everything else is working fine here. And I just posted this from my W8 machine using IE11. The post above yours was posted from my W7 desktop running IE11.

Good luck getting yours sorted.

Peace

I had to click the icon at the far right of the banner - and the youtube brackets are appearing:

Didn't work for my issue, but...

The idea is to disable the protection long enough to refresh 11 or even close and reopen 11 again to see if the problem remains. Lately the av/firewall software has been a cause of seeing things greyed out when here where simply turning off the av, reloading the page for the particular thread again, and then firing up the av has not cleared up the one page but all pages to follow.

Now that has been with WaterFox not even IE 11 still in preview form seeing this. Yet when I ran into the same thing with 11 with the smiles and all other reply box options I did the same and saw immediate results.

One thing I will say here however is that seems to be an isolated incident here so far with 11. Firing it up today and looking at the YouTube I find two talking heads in one YT clip!
