[Xerte] Re: Accessible media player?

[Alistair McNaught]

Having fought with different browsers all morning on non-Xerte MathML testing I'm beginning to wonder where web standards went to; and whether Google is going the same way Microsoft always worked - "pick and choose the standards we like and make out own stuff in between"...

Doesn't work for me in Chrome either but fine in IE. Bizarre given that Google own both YouTube and Chrome yet IE works better in this case!

Don't know if or what time this will reach the list - posted an earlier reply only to see every reply but my own appear on the list :-(

Thanks for that - I've pinned it down now. It's a Chrome issue on v31. I've been on so many different browsers this morning with (unrelated) MathML and MathJax experimenting that I'd failed to spot this issue was only showing on Chrome. Working fine on FireFox and IE.
I'm going off Chrome.. I'll add that finding into the accessibility guidance... unless anyone else finds it works on Chrome for them?

All I did was paste in the youtube embed code into a youtube movie page, so I don't know why you're having problems - here's your example, working...?

That's helpful. Where I've been finding the problems is when we've embedded a YouTube video in a range of XOT or Bootstrap page types using the YouTube embed code. For example in this Construction LO (Bootstrap template) there are three videos: http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_466

Or in XOT, the many video examples on the slides here http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=254#item1

Am I right in thinking that when you embed a video using the default YouTube embed code it embeds an inaccessible YouTube player rather than the native accessible player that Xerte uses - for example in the page you demoed below?

Is there anything I could add to accessibility guidance to make a difference?

Testing it myself, it works fine, example here: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_9352

It's the youtube player. Does it work on the youtube site?

Hi everybody,
I had this query come into the community site recently. It seems that the player for embedded YouTube clips is not accessible without using a mouse. Is there anything that we can improve this within the Xerte toolkits or is it a YouTube issue?
This is the query I had. Any light you can shed on it would be very welcome

On an embedded YouTube clip we couldn't focus on the play button. To get around this, could we set the YouTube to autoplay on load? I can't get '?autoplay=1' to work within Xerte (I'm also aware that I've read about this recently but can't find it or remember the outcome.)
