I got several comments that while it looked good, they couldn't get it
to play.
My bad! I didn't get the object & embed tags right, so it wouldn't
work on many (mostly win) browsers.
Sorry if I wasted some people's time.
I have fixed it (AFAIK) and it seems to work on the following:
Win: IE 6.
Mac: Safari 1.2.2 and Mozilla 1.6
Some things work on Mac FireFox, but it doesn't synch sometimes (skips
large parts of songs).
I used to use a big popup for the player so I could intermix video and
songs. I moved the song player inboard removed the movies, for now.
There is one button, "Play Smil Playlist" that plays a script --
within the script you can display audio, movies, pictures, text, etc.
This is a very quick and dirty way to put together a slide show -- it
shows one of the things I want to do with this app -- An annotated A/V
display of family members, etc -- kind of a living photo album. *
If Smil works well, it will be a lot easier (and more flexible) than
creating movies)
I have attempted to make this look/work more like iTunes (at least for
now).
Some have suggested a Flash front end -- That may happen (certainly
should. resolve browser compatibility problems).
But, Flash adds some overhead -- downloading the swf and CPU cycles
(even when nothing is going on).
So, I have tried to make this version as lean as possible, because some
family members have older computers and dialup or slow internet
connections.
* The Lovely Lucy pictured in the Smil script is my late wife -- I am
putting together an online site to share memories of her with family
members all over the globe.
That's the reason for the app! I would also like to do a CFAnywhere
version on a DVD.
I plan to open-source it when it is a little further along.
Any feedback on the site will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Dick
