Greetings again everyone, The addon for videolabs 1.0.0 is now available for downloading through Package Manager under the category of media/videolabs. It requires you to be running j804 on the jqt platform in 64 bit mode.
When downloaded you should see a new lab entered in the 'Addons' category of labs entitled 'Video Introduction to Labs'. Selecting that lab should result in a message box display letting you know that the first time you look at this lab that you will need to be connected to the internet for about an 8 Mb download of video resources. These files will be stored in the ~user/videolabs/Video_Introduction_to_Labs folder (don't worry the download creates that folder) and should take less than a minute with a decent internet connection. If you choose not to download, another message box coms up letting you know that that lab will not run reliably without the videos so that you should select a different lab. This process was done so that large numbers of video files are not downloaded during the original creation of a lab, but only if the viewer wishes to see that particular lab. Once you have completed the download the first page of the lab will appear with the video viewer minimized in the upper left corner. Advancing the lab is all that you need to do to go through the videos for each section and they should play automatically. The videos are in .mp4 format and so should play on a variety of machines. If the videos do not playback for you, let me know the JVERSION you are working with and the type of machine you are using and I will work on some fixes. Fingers crossed that this will work for you.
