Swap the code form your 1.7 to 1.8 and test it?

I know I've listed that in the spreadsheet but although it's displaying a proxy error we have another installation (1.7) on the same server where the QR code page works fine. No proxy settings set on either installation so I think this is a change in web site code/php causing the problem.

This on the QR page: is rss_proxy configured OK? Does it need configuring, or is it done by setup?

No this is on the test server purely 1.8 code are you not seeing it on http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=22

I get this on IE, Firefox, Safari and Chrome

Have uploaded. P60 of http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=22

We've still got that rogue scrollbar to the left of the thumbnails which also affects the scrollbar for the thumbs.

Can the thumbnails be active links as well as the text?

In my IE8 the pop-up still isn't resizable but could just be specific to my laptop so would be good if others could test and feed back? Will test on IE9 too.

Just committed the feed page, it works the same way. I also changed the params in openWindow to allow the window to be resizable, and to get the focus when it's made, so you don't lose it. That's in preview_xerte_top (which is in modules/xerte by the way as I can never find it...)

It's in place now - page 61 and 62 of http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=22

If you go through in linear order Page 61 comes up with an undefined but page 62 seems to work fine - not sure what the difference is but then if you go back to page 61 it pops up the video from page 62.

Will the wizard have options to set pop-up window features such as resizable? In IE 8 the pop up isn't resizable but I think it should be or perhaps better still have control over than in the wizard. In Firefox and Safari I can resize the pop-up.

Presumably this is grabbing the image automatically which is great? I don't think it's as nice as the current YouTube page but if that's going then I guess we have no choice. At least it means features such as captions and view full screen are available.

How will the feed page work?

Hi Julian
did you commit to the XOT svn or just Xerte? Not showing up in the XOT svn that I've been using for the test install. Not sure if I can just grab the two files from the Xerte svn and just replace the files on the test install?

Subject: [Xerte-dev] New Youtube page

I just committed a new version of the youtube page: it uses newWindow to launch the video. I tried doing the embed approach, but it's gribbly: the movie hovers above the popup menus along the bottom, and moving to a new page left the screen black for a few seconds. So this way pops up a new window, but I think it's the best we can do until we get the HTML5 stuff finished.

If you could pop it in the demo please Ron, I'll do the RSS one as well, but I'll wait for any comments first.
