Hi paul,
I wrote the below to the list on 22 april, in part a response to a call
from mark magennis for user reports on how good, bad or indifferent the
player is:
Now, personally, I haed disabled Flash in my JAWS personal verbosity
settings for the RTÉ page, so at first the player was a non-starter - no
visible Flash. I then enabled Flash (temporarily) in the JAWS options -
insert+v and down the dialogue, etc. I hope I wouldn't *have to* enable
Flash permanently on the RTÉ site, since it gets in the way of reading
RTÉ
sports content with braille - you've just finished a line, and that line
comes back at you again; down-arrow, but that line comes back at you
again;
bad! If you up and down arrow using speech you experience a similar
effect.
Disabling Flash and a few other things solves most - but not all - of
such
issues on the RTÉ site. You've also got to stop in-line frames and
such.
Perhaps stop the page refreshing altogether, but i'd rather not go that
far.
My point in all of this is to show that I had the antithesess of the
implementation of Flash in the RTÉ Catchup Player as it is presently
'constituted'. Could RTÉ not also provide a non-Flash alternative?
Could
they not label more of the buttons - this is a common thing in flash,
numbered buttons. I was able to play "Corrigan City Farm" after I
jumped
through the hoops I have outlined above. Also, the Flash content for
each
of the programs was (or is read by JAWS) below the list of programmes
available. So you have to be a bit mathematical to work out which
programme
you are on when you get to the Flash movies, the actual watchable shows.
...
I've gone back there since, and have watched a documentary programme or
two. I think not all programs have the option of an alternative media
player.

Hi all.
I've tried using the player at rte.ie/player a few times over the past
couple of weeks but have found it to be pretty inaccessible. Anyone
had
more luck and, if so, any tips?
Paul
