I have a small, very basic 3d game that runs in all browsers. But my issue is that when it runs in Chrome I can see in my console messages that the sounds are "pending" and don't play when they should. The thing is that after some time have passed ALL sounds play at the same time. It doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else, its just in Chrome. I came across this article that someone posted but it did not solve my issue. Just in case I am running Version 43.0.2357.81 m of Chrome and I am using the Sound Manager 2 library (I needed it in order to have sound work with IE 9 and up).
Can anyone offer some suggestions or point me to any more articles that might point me to a solution? Many thanks in advance!
Turn on logging in Chrome (inspect element/console - Preserve log) and see what your code is doing.
Also, you could try enabling/disabling your audio flags just be sure to set them back to default when you are done.
chrome://flags/#disable-encrypted-media
chrome://flags/#disable-prefixed-encrypted-media/
chrome://flags/#try-supported-channel-layouts
chrome://flags/#enable-delay-agnostic-aec
chrome://flags/#disable-delay-agnostic-aec
chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
in chrome and see if that makes a difference.
Just shooting from the hip on the information given though, I would imagine that chrome is delaying your audio javascript execution to the end of the page load. Moving the script to the beginning of the page, or using an async could fix this. Here is a good resource for javascript page load issues: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/speed/script-loading/

It's a little hard to describe as I have very little knowledge about Javascript, but it seems to be causing some issues with my Chrome browser. The best way I can say it is that a lot of things that use Javascript are broken. For example, when I visit a Wikipedia page and try to click 'show' on a nav-box, it takes me to the top of the page instead of opening the box. These things still work on IE, so I know this issue at least limited to Chrome. I don't know how this issue started. What exactly is going on here, and how can I fix it?
It's been resolved. I did a full reinstallation of Chrome.
I have been fixing up a sites JS, moving it to the bottom, minifying, etc. And it's all gone okay except on the blog (of an e-commerce site), as the page loads it's causing the header to be un-styled for a second or so, but it isn't happening on any other part of the site, even though they share the same CSS/JS. The blog is image heavy, but with images disabled (and I've tried disabling scripts too), it still happens. It's only happened since I've made changes, which I can't revert simply, but the changes are all positive and should help if anything. I can't see any JS causing it (as I removed the scripts to see if it was in there) and it doesn't happen in FF.
I would share a link but it's behind a closed staging server. And I could provide code but I'm not sure what, and there's a lot.
So, I had hoped I could use Dev tools to figure out what's happening, possibly the timeline view or something. I just don't know how I'd go about doing that.
Any advice?
Ed: I used the network tab on both the staging and the live site, as you can see from the image, they're identical, the css is the first thing loaded after the actual page, and on the live site it's actually ga.js. So it's even more of a puzzle now...
Don't worry, figured it out... It was the Stylebot Chrome Extension.. No idea why it was causing it now after making those changes though, and why it didn't affect the live site. I had no styles defined in it for this domain. A bug I guess.
Cheers all the same :)
Timeline tab in the dev tools is for benchmarking / site performance testing. If you want to know what's happening as in what content is being loaded, when and where, you can use the network tab for that.
It's also a common practice to stuff console.log() everywhere with some relevant message so you know when some part of code is being run.
i've been plagued by a problem that seem to started since Youtube's last
layout change this year.
I have for months put up and tried to ignore the freezing that happens
everytime I open a link within youtube such as an channel, an video, the homepage, etc.
I'm using Chrome version 31.0.1650.63 and I have already tested youtube without any
extensions, cookies, cache, etc but it still affects me to this day and maybe some
of you out there.
I searched every where for the solution and couldn't find any anywhere.
I did a bit of digging and testing to see what is the root of the problem and
while i'm no expertise on code or Java...I did found something.
Every time I reload a page on youtube, with it finishing loading up...this happens:
http://i.imgur.com/K9Z3vJ1.png
See that?
The purple-colored rendering, that's the cause of the lag every time I load
up something on youtube!
I notice that it repeats the same thing over and over again for like 5-15 or so
seconds before it starts loading up the thumbnails of the videos.
If you want a closer inspection of the code, here's the raw data from the timeline (that you can load up in chrome's dev timeline window):
Youtube Lag JSON Timeline file
I don't what to do with this problem and I believe it affects
me in Firefox as well but to an lesser extent then chrome.
Do any of you guys know how to resolve this problem?
Honestly I doubt that the youtube devs will fix this problem since they're the ones who caused it in the first place. (Like not being able to subscribe to some people when i'm not even at my sub limit.)
I'm sorry if you don't want to help but I don't know who else to look to besides
the experts that y'all are when it comes to web coding. If anything, I believe a userscript or something similar could help with this but how...I don't know.
I'm new to this and I apologize if the question i'm asking isn't suited for this site.
Still, thanks for reading and if you can...please reply.
That is all and thanks again.
Well I was fiddling around and looking at the source code
with chromes timeline devtools and well...
I found a temporary solution to the problem which seems to have
fixed and ended the freezing on youtube! yay~
But some things don't work with this solution and i'm at
a fault with this issue after some hours trying to figure out
how to stop the problem.
Anyways I used adblock, an extension that I have on Google Chrome, to deal
with this issue and was able to get everything fixed and working!
What I did was, in the custom filters section (check options in your
adblock extension, you should have it.) and added the following then did
some testing to see if it fixed the problem which it did!
Here are the filters I used to fix it!

Yeah, that's the temporary solution as it fixes the problems but it causes the following...
You can't open the menu which contains links to your playlists, user settings, channel, etc when you click your username or profile
picture on top right of youtube.
The "..." mini-menu that you usually find on the right of a video section (to hide, subscribe, etc.) doesn't appear anymore.
Youtube's quick menu button doesn't work, however the menu is still open but you won't be able to close it. That or it's close and you
won't be able to open it...I guess.
Those are the problems I found with this temporarily solution to the freezing problem.
Yeah...but I hope this helps anyone who's having this problem somewhat well.
But it would be nice if someone has an better solution then mine hehe!
Thanks for reading and if you have a better solution, don't feel afraid to
tell! ^_^
I'll be awaiting other answers, for now...I hope this helps y'all well
in some ways hehe! =D
This certainly isn't javascript, but substituting the normal EasyList in ABP for EasyList without element hiding will fix the issue. There are downsides to this as well but for now seems to be the better solution.
Ever since Chrome updated itself to version 32, I have been experiencing aggravating bugs. One of the worst is when editing the DOM using the Web Inspector, and Chrome will about every minute start popping up this dialog, which yanks focus from the Web Inspector:
It's complaining about the Web Inspector itself being "unresponsive", when it really isn't, and nothing's gone wrong.
This particular page I'm messing with is making use of the mutation-summary library. Perhaps the bug in Chrome that thinks stuff is unresponsive could be related to setting various continuously-running setTimeouts. I say this because I observe similar behavior in the web app we build at work where this has also started happening (and is equally annoying).
The workaround is I believe it is possible to just ignore the dialog and work can continue. I wonder if anyone else (or everyone else) has been experiencing this issue?
I started getting this problem as well.
In searching, I came accross this issue https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=335248.
As best I figured out, the bug is related to:
Windows 7/8 with Aero Theme
Scrollbars on pages (such as in the developer console)
Pages with popups (in particular Window.open() calls)
I guess they are slated to push the fix into version 33...and maybe leave the stable* 32 how it is (although I hope not).
So there are a few options:
Switch away from Aero Theme until version 33 is in stable
Upgrade to the beta channel, i.e. version 33
Click on the Wait button every 30 seconds whenever the chrome developer tools is open.
Update:
Chrome has released a hotfix into the version 32 stable channel. http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.ro/2014/01/stable-channel-update_27.html
Thanks to #probackpacker for bringing it to my attention.
I have experienced this as well on Windows, it seems that this will happen in general when using the browser (not only within the web inspector). It also seems to happen more often when loading flash content (such as a game). The browser and flash areas are responding normally, but the browser thinks that they are not for whatever reason. Pressing wait seems to hide the dialog for a few minutes until it will re-appear again.
I've read that this bug is fixed in the next beta (version 33).

I have also experienced this issue. The change of theme workaround has worked, and the Chromium team has provided the following update today:
... We understand your frustration and are actively working to resolve
it. When you add that comment, it’s confusing the comments around
whether we’re able to fully fix it on canary. If we can confirm it’s
fully fixed in canary, we can merge into the stable channel and
everyone can get the fix. So please refrain from saying thatyou’re
having this problem, too. I assure you we’re actively working on a
fix.
This statement was taken from Chromium ticket #335248.
Okay here’s the solution you can do without changing your theme, right click on my computer, go to your System Properties, and then go to "Advanced", click on "Settings" under Performance, then check the below radio button. This seems to stop it
If the aero fix isn't working for you, download Chrome Beta
I have had this same issue with Chrome 32 (there are so many problems in the dev tools...) but it ONLY happens for me when I have the dev tools detached / undocked from the main browser window.
You might be able to avoid it by re-docking the devtools if you are using them in un-docked mode.
August 6, 2014 - I solved this by installing the latest Chrome Beta https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/beta.html
You can solve this problem in Chrome by following simple steps-
1-Go to Setting
2-Go to Advance Setting
3-Uncheck the "Use Hardware Acceleration when available".
I fixed that problem by linking modem directly to my PC, didn't reinstall or change Chrome or anything. I skipped connection through my wireless router which I think was the problem from the start... now all the pages Chrome couldn't load are loading with no problem at all. Maybe it's time to by a new router...
This will once again be one of those question there's probably no answer to, but I'll try it anyway.
I created a custom WP plug-in that takes a folder name and outputs all videos inside the folder as images, which when clicked make a video pop-up. The video has custom controls (only play/pause and mute) and I'm using fancybox to make the video pop-up.
Everything works reliably in Opera and Firefox. The video doesn't bother playing in IE9 and, what's most annoying, it sometimes plays in Chrome and sometimes doesn't. (btw Safari won't even pop-up, no idea why).
The plug-in is quite a piece of code, but the end result is a bunch of links with an image inside and a hidden div that contains the links relevant to the current video. Then there's the video container, which is the code for the pop-up. Upon clicking one of the links, the src of the video is swapped for the one that is in the hidden content of the link.
It's quite hard to explain, so please have a look at the code on the website:
http://londoncreativedigital.com/downloads/creativeshowcase/
If you're still reading, here's the plug-in's code
https://github.com/marian-cerny/simple-video-embed
Video playing/pausing is handled in assets/player-controller.js.
I would greatly appreciate any help. I just can't logically explain what can be the reason for this. I tried to debug the JS, but couldn't come up with anything.
For a second I thought that adding a webm video would help, but it doesn't. It behaves the same way, even after adding a webm and removing the mp4 version. (tried on localhost, the online version doesn't have the webm vids).
You hardly ever need to blame your markup or javascript, suppose there is something different than this. I've been it such situations couple of times. All right, here is what I did.
opened video directly in chrome and FF.
open the developer bar on both, and look up the net(network) tab, where you suppose to see headers and other loading information.
in my case here is only one request in FF, and multiply from Chrome and there is canceled or pending only.
tryed the same with ogg clip, it is good in FF though chunked, and bit better in Chrome, part of requests are in pending, part canceled and fiew is good.
What could be wrong here, all right, as I said I do have similar problems in the past, I worked with professional movie maker, who do very good with all that codecs stuff. I just showed him perfectly working mp4 video from the videojs.com and he fixed his somehow by changing encoder or something like this. Unfortunately, I could not connect him how and ask, but probably it gives you some ideas. Please whenever you will be able to solve it, update status over here, I was bit intrigued all that times but had no chance to resolve my curiosity.
Your video was only once worked for me, but I am not sure if it was mp4 or ogg at that point. Also I am on win7 with latest Chrome and FF.
