[Xerte] Re: The project data has not loaded.

Thu Mar 12 12:48:43 GMT 2015

There are two or three separate issues here...

1. I don't think the issue with your videos not playing locally is security
related but could be wrong.

2. At the moment viewing Xerte LO's locally on a desktop or laptop does vary
by OS, Browser version and settings. e.g. on my Win 7 laptop IE 10 and
Firefox both work but IE prompts to allow blocked content first. The most
reliable way to do this on laptops/desktops is to run a small local
webserver and view the LO's via localhost. Doesn't have to be xampp which is
overkill for just viewing - there are other smaller webservers like quickphp
and others. You can then get local playback working via any browser but I'm
not sure if there's a similar loacl webserver solution for tablets.

3. Offline on Android tablets and iPads does work but the solutions vary for
each and again I'm sure vary by make, model, version of the device and
browser etc etc.

I spent a lot of time testing all this previously and trying different
solutions on iPads, Android and Windows tablets and got offline working on
each but the comibinations varied for each and I simply haven't had time to
revisit and test more widely and then document and unfortunately don't at
the moment either.

Thanks everyone for your help with this.

I've had a look at the settings in Chrome and can't see anything obviously
available. Any further help would be greatly appreciated as this is starting
to get beyond my capabilities. Where would I do what John (chrome.exe
--disable-web-security) is suggesting, for example?

You could try something like

     chrome.exe --disable-web-security
