MP4repair.org has experienced today (October, 28th) a five hours outage.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Such events are fortunately very rare, since May 2013 we hadn’t faced such a serious problem.
This outage has originated at our hosting vendor and is not specific to MP4repair.org, so the good news is that MP4repair.org has not been compromised. It has just been offline for a few hours.

Now everything is working again. Business as usual.

MP4repair.org has been offline for 60 hours (Sun 2 – Mon 3 – Tue 4 September). Please accept our apologies.

According to Murphy’s law, your website will go offline at the worst possible moment. This is exactly what happened.

We had an UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) to prevent summer storms from leaving our server without juice. It failed.

I discovered the problem on Sunday morning, but since I was over 1000 km away from the server, ending my hard-earned vacations, nothing could be done until today.

Lessons learnt: Protection equipments can also fail. Self-hosting will never give you 99.9% availability.

As of today, Firefox  (versions 6 and higher) and Chrome (versions 13 and higher) are fully supported. In the near future, Safari (version 5.2 and higher) and Internet Explorer (version 10, shipping this year) will bring the supported browser share near to 100%.
