[Xerte] Problems playing a Youtube video

[Ron Mitchell]

I suspect this is a flash player security issue...

 

When viewing an LO via HDD or USB Flash Player security settings may prevent
some pages from working e.g. where external data is being retrieved like
YouTube page. Right click in the centre of the LO so that you see the flash
player menu and select Global Settings....

 

A new browser window should launch where you can select the Global Security
Settings panel see http://grab.by/grabs/8e20f782907a1a6a1ca306c6ee177f68.png

 

Select Edit locations > Add location and add the location of your LO e.g.
C:\mydocuments\xerte\ or just C:\ In my case my ext hdd is J:\

Let us know if that fixes your problem? 

 

If you upload the same LO to a webserver and view from there it should work
fine. Although there are some pages that are an exception to this.

Thanks. The link where I got the code to embed it is below. I did try
different videos, though. Please let me know if it works.

I am trying to embed the code. It plays fine in the editing menu, it doesn't
work once I export it and open the presentation.

Hi,

 

I tried reopening the presentation and I made sure I published it, before I
exported it.

Thank you for the help, though.

Also did you publish before exporting?

I don't know - it works fine here. Sometimes youtube doesn't respond - have
you tried it again?

Hi,

 

We've recently starting using Xerte Online Toolkit and I'm working on a
presentation. The only glitch is that, when I export the presentation as a
zip file, after unzipping it, the Youtube videos don't play. The player
loads, but I get a message saying: "Player loading". And then it doesn't.

Any ideas? I searched the archives, but did not find something useful.

Thank you for the help.

Regards,
