I guess you're better at this than I am Flor, tried again and got nowhere fast. Thanks as always.

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. ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Paul Dromey" <pdromey@xxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 11:13 AM Subject: [vicsireland] RTE 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.
