Syrinscape has stopped playing in Kenku

Hello: I have been connecting to the web player using the Kenku app for about 2 years, with no trouble, but tonight Syrinscape stopped playing in Kenku. I get this error message: " Syrinscape Web Player is not supported on Safari. Try Chrome , Edge or Firefox , instead." Has Syrinscape changed its browser support in the last 24 hours? I recognize this could be a Kenku-only issue, but thought I would check here first.

Hi @scott.nagel,

That’s weird and frustration. :-/

We have NOT changed our browser support recently or, in fact, made any changes to the Web Player in the past 7 days.

Hmmm… can you reach out to the creators of Kenku? Did it get an update?

If you run Syrinscape directly in Safari on your machine (presuming you are using a MAC), does it work there?

Have you tried in a different machine…

…I’ll also think and ask the dev team if they have any ideas.

Shoot through any addition info as you gather it.

Good hunting! :bug: :hammer:

Thanks for responding, Ben! This is like getting iPhone support from Steve Jobs! (you know, when he was alive…) I am not, however, on a Mac. I am running Windows 11 Home, and I do not even have Safari installed. I am able to run the Syrinscape web app fine, in Firefox, my normal browser.
Got this response from the community manager for the publishers on reddit:

Kenku FM runs the Electron browser, which uses the Chromium engine, so it seems like Syrinscape might be mis-identifying the web client?

If you’re running the latest Kenku FM v1.5.1 (stable) or v1.6.3-experimental, then your Electron version would be v37.4.0, which includes Chromium v138.0.7204.243 - Syrinscape support might appreciate having those details!

Asked him when 1.5.1 was released, and he said yesterday, so it definitely seems like their last update caused Syrinscape’s mis-identification of Kenku’s built-in browser.
I have not yet tried Kenku on my backup PC, but I will give that a try, as well.

Not sure what, if any action was taken on your end, but this issue seems to have resolved itself. The online player is playing in Kenku’s built-in browser, as expected.
