The problem is, that some mobile browsers (e.g. Android and IOS default browsers) block autoplay.
Of course I can make the audioplayer visible and require the user to click, but then he has to click on every new page.
I see, this doesn't work on some mobile. You are right, but it seems like this is only the first time. A user only has to press play once. After that the src can be changed and it can autoplay.

Hm, ok, maybe I'll try that. Currently I am exchanging part of the Website whenver a new page is shown and therefore I always generate a new Audio-Tag. It seems that there are enough browser out there where it works, so I keept it as it is for now.
If people are horny enough, they will install Firefox on their mobile phones.

LOL. Exactly.
Seems a reasonable requirement.
I use "firefox focus" (private all the time and when you close the browser, tabs are not remembered). Not because I'm paranoid, but because I HATE phone browsers bringing up the last tabs I viewed and having to wait. There seems to be no way to shut that off either. It also might be one of the reasons that audio/video don't autoplay.

[opens browser, which starts loads previous tabs]
"Ooo baby, you're sooo big ..."
Whoops.

A I did not know about that one. Using the original parser is a need trick, i thought of doing that but then wanted to be able to check for more errors in teases.
I use some pretty new CSS-features for the layout, I guess something as old as Android 5 Chrome can't handle that. But these devices are dying anyway.
# Some news:
I've added an option for additional checks, the viewer then checks for missing and unreachable pages.

First, this looks promising, I will give it a try.
It's working here just fine:
http://yamilotv.herokuapp.com/tease?id=23864
Sorry for the "advertisement", it's not mine, but I usually use this and no image cacheing issue like with the original and looks just like the flash one.
(But some older tease just not working, I have a local fork where I hacked it, but I'm not entirely sure it won't mess it up elsewhere.)

Oh, I must have overlooked that. As far as I can see it works fine in my viewer as well. I relaxed the parser a bit more, maybe it is because of that. I checked my parser against all flash-teases. It parses arround 90% and those it does not have syntax errors. These errors might even cause issues in the original player, like a button not working or some picture missing.
This tease parses even with strict checks, so it should work completely.
I didn't know about the other player before, it's quite nice. I have a few uniquce selling-points though:
- You can bookmark pages, if you get interrupted you can start were you left of.
- You can use your browser history. If you run into an issue like a missing page, you can go back (or if you just made a wrong choice)
- You can enable a button to skip timers
- You can check the tease for issues like missing pages

Sure it loads just fine, but if you check it out, you will see, that the picture never changes.
It should almost on every page. Also if you press F5 on any page you will see, that the picture changes.
I like those "selling-points" :)

Oh, now I get it. The reason for that is, that it uses random pictures with * in the urls. These stars are resolved by a PHP-Script in the browser. But of course now that the browser is loading the pictures it is using the cache. I think it is easy to fix, I will look into it tomorrow or so.

Works like a charm, I suspected it is something around caching.
But scala.js is not something that you can easily debug after is's deployed :)

If you could make urls clickable in teases that would be awesome.
(Parse the text if it's looks like there is an url in it wrap it with an "a" tag and set the target to "_blank".)

Yeah, if you want to look at it, you have to look at the original code. But it had nothing to do with scala.js, it was just that the Browser caches images with the same URL, which does not work for server-side random images. I just appended a random attribute to those URLs.
I consider making urls clickable. Do you have an example tease in mind, that I can use to test?
(You can already copy and paste the URLs though, which is much more comfortable already).

This one has a link on the first page for example:
https://sklavedaniel.gitlab.io/Gaia/#te ... art//cache
Maybe this lib could help with the urls:
https://github.com/gregjacobs/Autolinker.js
Also I found another tease with a bit of a challenge.
In this page the image should change time to time.

I've implemented the clickable url thing. There is no visual indication that a url is clickable other than the mouse pointer, so it does not interfere with the look of the tease.
That was a case of a framework being too smart. When there is no page change, there is no change in the data model, so the page is not rerendered... I just forced the rerendering of the page and it works fine now.
Please keep looking for things that are broken or could work better. I would like it to run every tease on here except for one or two teases that use the counter-feature. It's only used by two teases I think, so it is not worth the trouble.
