Same sort of pain using NVDA, I'm sorry to say, and I have tried to use the
object navigation keys to no effect. I can see a bit, so realise that there's a
blooming great play button in the middle of the Flash object, but ITV clearly
haven't used the accessibility functions in Flash, and I can't find a way of
activating the button except by using the mouse.

Hi Steve,
The ITV Player I have to say is somewhat of a pain.
About 3 weeks ago they seemed to change the look and feel of it. Now, when
you enter on a programme, you are faced with a flash object and you have to
click the relevant button to play the video. I have access to three
screenreaders, JAWS12, the latest version of WindowEyes, and System Access. Of
these, WindowEyes does not recognise the buttons at all and so you are unable
to play the video as far as I can see. You can do it with JAWS as long as you
are running JAWS12. Any earlier version of JAWS doesn't see these buttons
either. If you are using JAWS 12, navigate by button with the letter B and
after the search button you will hopefully find a button which says "unlabeled
1". This is the button you need to press to start playback of the video.
System Access does see the buttons but it just says button and does not give it
any kind of name whatsoever. If you are using System Access, press enter on
the first button within the flash object. Hopefully this helps.
On the subject of the ITV Player, have you found a way using a screenreader
to tick the relevant check boxes to authorise a computer to play restricted
content? I haven't found a way of doing this at all. I've written to ITV on
the subject but they are simply not interested.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Hi All,
Anyone having problems using the ITV player recently. I used to be able to
simply enter on the program name and it would play but that doesn't seem to
work any more. I can't find any tick boxes or play buttons either. Any ideas
anyone?
Steve
