html-audio-response buggy on Safari #3579
Description
Hi! I'm submitting an issue on behalf of a research group I support -- sorry that it's light on details because of it being relayed this way.
A team member ran their study using the html-audio-response plugin on Safari on a MacBook. She had issues with recording audio. Specifically, the console reported a webkitblobresource error 3; here's a stackexchange post with the same error: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78253754/failed-to-load-resource-the-operation-couldent-be-completed-webkitblobresour
It seems like there may be a bit of a trend of base64 audio recording needing extra support for Safari; there are several other stackoverflow posts requesting help with various types of base64 audio handling for the browser (for example: 1, 2).
The researchers have solved the problem for themselves by just having Prolific exclude Safari-users from being recruited to their study, but I wanted to pass along word that they'd had trouble with this, since there didn't seem to be an existing issue for this topic.
