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

[WARD Pauline]

Good news - the bug appears to be fixed, my captions have stopped running away.

I guess YouTube looked into it (even though they didn't actually email me back).

Thanks v much for your help Julian.

Regards,
Pauline

Yes, hopefully. I've reported it to Google through the YouTube feedback feature, so they definitely know about it now.

I'm afraid not. I expect it will get fixed at some point,

Oh yes, I've embedded the video in a very simple html page, and the same thing happens i.e. captions are fine in IE and Firefox, but in Chrome they disappear when the embed is not active. Well, I'm guessing there's not much Xerte can do about that.

We'll just have to live with it for now.

Thanks very much Julian. Regards,
Pauline

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.

And the live version which has the normal behaviour is here: http://datalib.edina.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=9
