MIDI connections in Firefox and Safari

[pierredewilde]

Hi Semo,

JZZ.js works as expected in Chrome, so I can connect to MIDI input and output devices.

In Firefox and Safari, list of MIDI inputs/outputs remain empty:

JZZ().info().inputs = []
JZZ().info().outputs = []

Try with https://jazz-soft.net/demo/SelectMidi.html example.

What is missing ?

Thanks,
Pierre

You probably need to install the browser extension: https://github.com/jazz-soft/jazz-midi and Jazz-Plugin: https://jazz-soft.net/download/Jazz-Plugin/

Hi Semo,

Firefox Jazz-MIDI extension installed, MIDI inputs/outputs still remain empty.
Safari Jazz-MIDI extension cannot be installed in Belgium (Europe):
This app is currently not available in your country or region.

Anyway, there is lots of confusion about requirements per modern browser.

JZZ.js is expected to bring WebMIDI support to all modern browsers:
https://caniuse.com/?search=web%20midi

On Chrome (& co), WebMIDI is supported natively and JZZ.js acts like a high-level wrapper.
On Firefox and Safari, WebMIDI is not natively supported and JZZ.js should provide WebMIDI support.

Partialy, because MIDI devices cannot be accessed.

JZZ.js is great but lacks some guidelines to run on all modern browsers.

Thank you for your support,
Pierre

There must be something wrong with your setup...
Do you see a little piano icon in the Firefox taskbar when you are on the page that uses MIDI?
