I doubt whether it has anything to do with a codec. KM 75 handles all the HTML5 elements just fine, including the audio and video players. The lesson buttons don't even bring up the page they're supposed to open, although the appropriate URLs do appear in the address bar. Another development, however, is this: I tried removing all the blocked URLs from my Javascript permissions list
