slideshow doesn't run > Microsoft Edge, Surface Pro 3, Windows 10

Funguyphoto · September 19, 2015

I cannot get the slideshow to run using Microsoft Edge on my Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10. Slide shows run just fine in Internet Explorer on this machine. Any thoughts?

Interesting.

Your homepage slideshow runs fine for me on Microsoft Edge, Windows 10 desktop computer.
It also runs on Microsoft Edge on my Surface 3 running Windows 10.

Are you seeing this problem with your homepage slideshow or a slideshow somewhere else on your site?

Slideshow is not running on old smugmug design site.

Looks like they turned off Flash on OldSmug.

Thank you Denise for your quick response. It is the slide show associated with albums that does not seem to work in Microsoft Edge on my Windows 10 Surface Pro 3. The homepage slideshow works fine.

And... This slideshow works fine when I use the "open with Internet Explorer" option.

I just checked the gallery slideshow. The slideshow in that gallery works for me on Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 on both my desktop and on my Surface 3.

Do you know anyone else with a Surface Pro 3 that might be able to try on their system?

I have not found anyone with a Surface Pro 3 to test this and will report back here when I do. In the mean time having Internet Explorer easily available makes it only a minor inconvenience.

It's a minor inconvenience to you but your viewers may not think about switching browsers.

Have you tried clearing the browser cache to see if that makes a difference? (I know, I know, that's kind of an always check that I do, might help, might not.)

Is there a Microsoft store anywhere near you? I wonder if they have one you could try? Or maybe even a store like Staples (assuming they have internet access available to their demo machines.

Tried clearing the cache... no luck there.

I've come to realize over the years that there are not all that many (early adopter) Windows users here on Smugmug :-)

I upgraded my computers to Windows 10 the day it was released, even knowing there could be problems. I think you're right though, we're probably in the minority.

Our QA team took a look and cannot repeat the issue. It looks like the Gallery Full Screen slideshow's load properly. are you still having issues?

jchin · September 22, 2015

I have a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 8.1 Enterprise running on it.
The page http://jwpictures.smugmug.com/music/midori-2015
comes up completely blank.
I am using the latest version of Chrome browser.

Rebooted Surface Pro 3. Windows Updates installed. Looks like Chrome browser updated too.
Now it shows the images. Able to click on Slideshow and the slideshow works.

Leftquark... Thank you for taking a look at this.

Yes the gallery slide show for this album (https://jwpictures.smugmug.com/Music/Midori-2015/) and all others do not run on my Microsoft Surface Pro 3, Windows 10, using the Microsoft Edge browser.

The gallery slideshows run just fine using Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 11) on this same machine.

I have not (yet) found another user with a Surface Pro 3 running Windows to test this. I plan to visit a local retailer soon to try it on one of their store models.

Funguyphoto · September 23, 2015

jchin... The gallery slideshows work fine on our Windows 8.1 Surface Pro 2 machines with IE Explorer 11 (we have a handful around here).

I think this is probably a Surface Pro (Windows 10 models) + Microsoft Edge problem.

Funguyphoto · September 23, 2015

I just tried the gallery slideshow on a Lenovo Yoga Pad 3 running Windows 10 and the new Edge browser. It works just fine on this set up.

Funguyphoto · November 9, 2015

I just purchased a Microsoft Surface Book and realized I still have this problem. The gallery slideshow does not run in the Edge browser on Windows 10. Reverting to Internet Explorer allows the slideshow to work just fine. Smugmug needs to fix this!

Funguyphoto · February 3, 2016

This is still a problem on any Microsoft Surface tablet running Windows 10 and the Edge browser. I really hope you will consider fixing this!

Ferguson · February 3, 2016

I ran across this and tried the music gallery above and don't even see a slideshow button on my Surface Pro (original, running Windows 10). Is there a link to something not working, just if you want another confirmation?

Funguyphoto · June 28, 2016

The Gallery Slideshows still do not work when using the Edge browser on a Microsoft Surface running Windows 10.

It is especially frustrating that this is still a problem after alerting Smugmug to it 9 months ago. Please put down your Macbooks for one day and fix this problem!
