[Xerte] Re: Connectors Hot spot image connector & Audio

Yes that does make sense but as I said just upload the mp4 first then the
flv so that the line in the editor points to the flv. That way the html5
code will look for and load the mp4 if it needs it e.g. on an ipad as long
as both files have exactly the same file name apart from the extension.

Thanks Ron

I have now mastered the audio hot spot connector!

I'm a bit confused how to upload both mp4 and flv videos, I have tried to
choose 2 videos for the same hot spot but it defaults to one. I have tried
to upload them in the same video file line but I can't see both of them
there. Does that make sense?

Thanks

Hi Jason

Firstly .wav won't work it must be .mp3

Also for video to work via both Flash view and HTML5 view upload a .flv and
.mp4 with identical names. Upload the .mp4 first then the .flv e.g.
video1.mp4 followed by video1.flv

Regarding the sound issue I'm not sure if it's just the fact that linux
servers are case sensitive or if the currnt code only looks for lower case
.mp3 but your xml has the following: FileLocation + 'media/ZOOM0004.MP3' but
when you download the file it's ZOOM0004.mp3

Try re-naming the file locally with a lowercase .mp3 and re-uploading. in
fact it's good practice to keep everything lowercase anyway and avoid spaces
and special characters etc. Works for me with your mp3 click the middle of
the pic in this test http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_74

Sorry I should make myself clearer - are you using the html version of the
page or the flash based one?

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hello everyone

Me again!  Just after some help with inserting audio clips into image hot
spot in connectors. Loving the new connectors over the old hot spot but I
haven't quite mastered adding audio clips. This is what I've done, could
someone tell me how I should do it please?

1.     Created a 'sound'  from 'optional properties', created a hot spot on
an image and uploaded an MP3 audio clip. When I click on the hot spot an
intermediate box appears saying 'download file', when I click on this, audio
file appears in Media player, sound plays but if I navigate away from this
page or hit another hotspot the sound continues, how do I stop it playing
without having to click back on the audio hot spot and downloading file -
which seems to stop it?

2.     Created another hot spot 'sound'. This time uploaded wav file, this
time an audio toolbar loads (great) but when I click the play button the
audio track doesn't play.  Why?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Jason
