Song FIght Fight Player Thing Added

Post by jb »

At the top of the page you can now click "Open SongFight Player".

Doing so will unleash a little window that lets you play the fight.

You can also do like, Previous and Next.

If you're in Chrome, and you let songfight.net popup windows, then the player will stay on top of all your windows.

In Firefox and Safari, it will not stay on top.

On mobile browsers it will look like garbage so this is not the way to stream the fight on your phone.

Clicking the button appears to have no effect. I'm in Chrome (on a Chromebook running Chrome OS). I did update the site settings to allow popups, but it didn't help.

(EDIT: the Review button does bring up the appropriate window, but the Player button isn't doing anything for me.)

(ADDENDUM: if it turns out the issue is specific to Chrome OS, not worth investing much time fixing it just for me. Unless there are many others out there in the same boat.)

Can Chromebooks open a new window? (I am not familiar with the OS other than that it's all focused on Chrome)
If it can't, then it makes sense-- the review tool is a javascript layer in the current window, but the player is a new window of your browser. I could potentially have it open a new tab for ChromeOS.

They can -- the OS is primarily app-based, like running Android on a laptop, or Windows 8, but it uses a regular desktop-style version of the Chrome browser with essentially all the same functionality as any other Chrome browser. Not sure why it won't, in this instance. But like I said it probably isn't worth losing much sleep over, unless it's likely to affect a bunch of people.
