Naim website not working on Safari/iOS8

Posted by: LeeTom on 23 January 2015

For the past two days, the Naim website fails to load properly on Safari for iOS8. I just get that dreadful grey loading screen.
If I scroll, I get a tiny bit of info below the loading box.
Reset cookies. No dice. Maybe Naim can go into their server room and turn it off and on again.

The Naim website has changed quite a bit. Lots of animation in it now. Can only assume it's Flash content, which won't play on iOS devices.

The whole interweb thing seems cocked round my way over the last two or three days, driving me nuts.

It's not flash. Just some poor detection script keeping this html animation from going away.

I find myself avoiding the site now that it has all that animation.

Animation?

 

It's just a script that displays five different jpegs in turn.

 

Firework science.

Depends on which device I use, but I often get a gray background with a gray circle going round in circles ad nauseum. Used to work fine. I'm no streamer, but from what I read here a focus by Naim to stay atop their streaming softwares might go farther than this rather befuddling alteration of their product website capabilities.

Same here on iPhone and iPad. If I want to look at the Naim site I have to go to my MacBook. Even then, with my slow and erratic rural internet connection I find the pages often load very slowly, but it seems this is a different issue.

My Safari/iOS works OK,  not the fastest screen change/load 'poota on the planet, but as I only use it occasionally when travelling, no probs

Mike, we are talking about the Naim website, not the forum. Strange that you can't see the Beta group though, I can see it on iOS8.

 

Ah....have you just edited your post?!

Yeah, I call that animation. All animation is a series of images displayed in turn. It doesn't have to be sophisticated to be annoying.

Sorry about that Chris,  but yes it is much slower to load the Naim.com compared to the already slow Naim Forum,  which (yer right) I was assuming it was the forum you were talking about.  I tend to use Google Chrome on my iPad as it has all my bookmarks I have on laptop & PC,  but that too is slow.  It must be a pain if iOS is what peeps normally use.  Looking around other www sites I have on Google Chrome,  its all the same & to me its an iOS problem.

My comment was about the fact that any browser should be able to handle it.

 

 

I'm looking forward to the day when we can have animated album art in our streaming solutions to break the monotony of static images.

Fair enough.

 

But I am definitely NOT interested in animated album art. Without any accompanying narrative, moving images are unappealing to me. I much prefer static works.

But just think of the possibilities.

 

You could have a re-imagining of Abbey Road so that when you browse the album little speech bubbles could pop out of each mop tops mouth saying who they are and what they did. "Hi my names John and I strum a bit and sing badly" and so on. Then as each track played the image could change with other details. "My name's Ringo and I was helped by a session musician for this one"......
