ice:outputMedia uses the `<object>` and `<embed>` tags to load an ActiveX Windows Media Player plugin. This plugin seems to be still available online, since it still works on IE browsers, but it seems like modern browsers don't support it anymore. Now, the ace:videoPlayer and ace:audioPlayer components render the more modern HTML5 `<video>` and `<audio>` tags, which work well on modern browsers. However, these components don't exist in ICEfaces 3.3. So, we need to either update the ice:outputMedia component to use a different plugin, if one is available and works on modern browsers, or make it render the `<video>` and/or `<audio>` tags, depending on the case, or instead of updating ice:outputMedia, we could port the ace:videoPlayer and ace:audioPlayer components to ICEfaces 3.3.
Bug
Major
Backported the ace:audioPlayer and ace:videoPlayer components to the 3.x trunk and also backported them to the customer's branch.
