Mediaplayer plugin – known issues & reporting a snag

Issues and complaints, Tips No Responses »
Aug 102011

Most of the audio and video files embedded in course pages should be playable in the same browser window. This is achieved with the help of a matching “plugin”.

Among the known issues preventing the intended behaviour are the following:

  • some handheld devices (smartphones) play the music and video contents in a new player window by default; in such cases, accompanying notes or illustrations may not be viewable at the same time;
  • playlists that contain several items may result in some delay until all the file contents are loaded by the browser; after a short while, the play button should become visible; depending on your internet connection, this process may take a few seconds (rarely more than a minute);
  • a plugins may may change (but shouldn’t) its “behaviour” after an update by its author; in this case, an alternative may be found and installed at a short notice.
In the event of any other issue that may prevent you from listening or viewing the media contents as indicated, please use the form seen below with the following information:
  • briefly describe the issue at hand
  • identify the page by cutting and pasting the URL from your internet browser starting with http://

Thank you for your cooperation!
