[Xerte] Re: bug with YouTube captions vanishing in Chrome (under HTML5)

[Ron Mitchell]

It suggests that the bug is with Chrome not Xerte! 

Haven't noticed this before - perhaps due to a Chrome or YouTube update and
bizarre given that Chrome and YouTube are both Google owned!

 

I was just doing some work in a moodle so quickly grabbed the same YouTube
embed code and verfied that the same thing happens in Moodle on it's own
e.g. captions fine in IE but only show when hovering over the clip in
Chrome. 

Didn't try with another YouTube clip though but I doubt it's the clip
iteself.

If you take xerte out of the picture, i.e. just embed the youtube in a
simple html page, what happens?

Don't know whether others may have noticed this behaviour already, but here
at Edinburgh we are just switching our Xerte learning object (the Mantra
course) over to deployment as HTML (i.e. zip files), and a bug seems to have
appeared.

 

In Chrome, when you watch an embedded youtube video, the captions will only
appear while the youtube menu buttons are up. When you move your mouse away,
and the youtube menu bar disappears, the captions also vanish.

 

Whereas in Firefox and Internet Explorer the captions seem fine.

 

V strange!

 

Any help much appreciated, thank you.
