[Xerte-dev] Re: Hotspot Image Connector image sizes

[Fay Cross]

Hi Ron

All the pages that add audio or video call some code in a file called mediaPlayer.js to load them in the page.  I'll move the code used in the textVideo page to here so that it's not something that I need to remember to add in on every page that can have video.  I had completely forgotten to add that to this page to be honest so thanks for noticing.

I'll add your sizing code to the connector page too, although I'll probably change it to something that's more flexible at some point.

Thanks
Fay

Hi Fay
sorry I sent this before noticing your commit today!

So the audio hotspot now works and the video player loads but shows download file. Can that be made to work the same way as the textVideo page e.g. look for an mp4 of the same name?

I've uploaded your updated file but added in my crude sizing to where my test file resides http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_html5_64

The only change to your latest file is the following:

//RM added crude image resizing based on wizard options
//ideally needs to be more flexible/responsive than this e.g. respond to window size
                              if (x_currentPageXML.getAttribute("textWidth") == "none") {
                                             var imgMaxW = 760,       imgMaxH = 476;
                                             }
                              if (x_currentPageXML.getAttribute("textWidth") == "narrow") {
                                             var imgMaxW = 600,       imgMaxH = 476;
                                             }
if (x_currentPageXML.getAttribute("textWidth") == "wide") {
                                             var imgMaxW = 500,       imgMaxH = 476;
                                             }
if (x_currentPageXML.getAttribute("textWidth") == "max") {
                                             var imgMaxW = 400,       imgMaxH = 476;
                                             }

Cheers
Ron

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Hotspot Image Connector image sizes

Hi Fay/all
I've been testing the html5 playback of the Hotspot Image connector and have one or two questions...

1. Is the video popup meant to work at the moment e.g. by uploading an .mp4 the same name as the flv?

2. Likewise sound popup?

3. I noticed your comments in the code about changing image size based on text size options and have added some crude size changes (see attached and linked example below) I haven't committed that change (but can do?) and I said crude because ideally the image size ought to be more responsive to window size etc rather than fixed dimensions and you've said in your code comments to look at the textGraphics page so I'm guessing you're planning do this at some point? The fixed sizes I've added seem to work ok on my iPad.

In my test file I've uploaded the tweaked html5 model to change size based on the option chosen and on the last page there are video and audio links which at the moment don't seem to work via html 5 but do via Flash but I'm guessing neither are meant to work yet?
