UPDATE 3 - HTML5 playback lags about 1 second

May 28, 2013

Taking a quick peek at HTML5 using my iPad4/Safari, I noticed that animations are appearing about just under 1 second behind where they should appear, and do appear in Flash.

Has anyone else compared published animation timings in HTML5 to Flash?

It's encouraging to know it isn't just me  Yep, the delay in animations was new with Update 3.

I didn't want to get too persnickity, but the seekbar's white slider didn't show on my playback.  When I loaded and closed a lightbox slide, the white seekbar (seeker) suddenly appeared, but it didn't advance with the audio.

So... there's another small problem I've seen.  Anyone else?

Yeah, I do a lot of animations and they are clearly not as smooth as in Flash. Just looking at how SL output is rendered in HTML5 (page loads every slide) I can see all types of opportunity for issues. Flash is designed for this type of stuff and HTML5 just isn't. It's a problem, but probably not one that will be easily resolved.
