[Xerte] Re: Couple of glitches with embedded video and contents button

Tue Jul 2 09:32:46 BST 2013

Hi Ron

The code loaded on the embedded contents page but same problem, it wouldn't proceed past it, so I have ditched the embedded page.

On the misc YouTube video page it came up as "error", I had another jiggle, changed the frame size and it now plays. I like the rel=0, much needed, will be using that a lot! This is the code that worked, complete with spaces.

<iframe width="600" height="400" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1AtT8a1EJ6k?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Did you pick up on the point about Bullet Points? They appear in the margin and not in the page?

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason
Try:

<iframe width="560" height="315"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1AtT8a1EJ6k?rel=0" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen></iframe>

Note the http:
and also the rel=0 prevents unwanted related clips but your choice with that option.

Hi Ron

I have tried to do that several times but nothing works, I have used notepad to see if there were any gaps but when I removed any spaces I just received an error message.

I have used this youtube embeded code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1AtT8a1EJ6k"
frameborder="0"allowfullscreen></iframe>

I still cant navigate to page 5 and the contents pane appears behind youtube on page 4. Are you using IE9?

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason
I can view each page of the LO now without any youtube clip overlapping.
However page 3 isn't showing the clip but I suspect perhaps there's a break in the embed code - try replacing that youTube embed code.

Hi Ron

Thanks for your comments.

The LO used 2 of the page types you mentioned and was the cause of the problem.  I have deleted the pages as you suggested and included the
following:

Misc > YouTube video page (page 3)

Nav > Embeded content page (page 4)

I can navigate as far as page 4 but cant get beyond this. It would appear to be the Misc > embeded content page that is causing us a number of problems.
I'm working from home on my own pc which is relatively reliable. Using IE9.

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason
my quick anecdotal response is this:
If you want reliablility cross browser only use either of the two misc > youtube pages or the separate navigators > embed content page for embedding YouTube clips i.e. don't just paste embed code from YouTube in any page like the plain text page. Can you remove that plain text page from your example and try again? If that doesn't fix it remove the embed content page too?

In my experience this is usually only a problem when using IE but doesn't happen if you stick to the dedicated YouTube pages. I think it's because the YouTube player is 'killed' properly when moving on from those pages but not when embedded in the other page types. But that's guesswork rather than fact.

Hello

We have experienced a number of glitches in xerte2.0, these relate to:

1.     Embeded video content but especially YouTube videos, displays message
"failed to load, try again later" inside youtube video frame. This is temperamental and works on some pcs. Also trying to proceed past embed video pages has proved problematic with the next screen going 'black'.
2.     Contents button, sometimes returning to homepage instead of selected
page. This is usually the page before or after embedded video. At the moment its failing to get past one of our LO embed video pages.

You might be able to replicate this through a LO of the above point.

Are there any solutions to the above?

Thanks

Jason
