OK guys, two web sites here that I am slightly having a little
issue with on an accessibility side. One of which is pretty well
not working, period, the other a which is all? frickin? most!
there. It's like, Aaa! So! close, but, so! far.
The first a these, is
http://listen.xmradio.com
OK OK OK, yeah? I know there is a dashboard widget that will do xm
Radio. I googled and can't seem to find the thing. So, if
anyone can help me find it, and give me a download link to it, or
even better yet, just attach it and privately send it to me, that
would really be awesome.
Basicly though: the only issue really with the online web based
player that I really am seeing, if anything, is, in the player
frame, if I interact with it, I do see!the quick tune area, and
the go button, however, under Windows, I am able in Internet
Explorer, to also see that in that frame, there is a volume up,
volume down, stop, play, and mute. I don't see these with
voiceover at all in the player frame. They're not even showing
as non clickable items. They're just simply put: not there.
They're totally being skipped over. I tried vo up, down, left,
and right. O yeah, I made sure first, I was interacting with the
frame, don't worry about that. I'm perfectly aware a having to
interact with each frame. Really though, from what I can see,
that seems to honestly be the only real issue that I have. Aside
that, the site seems to work quite flawlessly. The little
buttons in the preset frame, like what's on, my presets, etc?
You do! have to actually do vo+command+F5, and route your mouse
pointer, then vo+Shift+Space on 'em, and actually clickem, and
I'll tell yall now, they won't show up as links. They're
actually not links. In windows, at least, they're called on
mouse overs. Dono how the Mac really handles those. Anyway
though, if you actually physically clickem, they seem to be
working.
Now, the second site, I'm actually seeing a little more of an issue.
http://www.RadioTime.com
Basicly, if you sign up for an account, which btw, is free, and
there is no captcha the last I looked.
Then, once logged in, try doing this just to regenerate my problem:
Once logged in, do a vo+F. Yes, Vo F actually works fine in this
case.
Do a search for the word "Location"
Now, you probably're gonna land onna heading. So, vo right once,
and you'll land on the link that says by location. OK, vo space
on that link.
Now, on this next page, do a vo+F, then put in the word "north"
That'll land you on a link that says North America. Vo space on it.
Now, on the next page, do a vo+F, and search for "United"
That will land you on a link called United States of America. Vo
space on that link.
Now, do vo+F, and put in "Carolina"
That'll land you on North Carolina. Vo space on it.
Now do vo+F, and put in "Charlotte"
This should land you, most likely on a link that says something
to the effect of Charlotte, Gastonia, Rockhill. Hit Vo+Space on
it.
OK, now, finally, last step!
Bring up your item chooser list, with vo+I. then type in WLYT.
Now vo down arrow until you find the link for WLYT 102.9.
Once there, Vo space on it to move to that link. Now, don't vo
space on it. That's not what you wanna do. I just had you move
to it, so you'll be in the area I need you. OK, now, Vo left
arrow, until you get to a link that says listen. It'll be the
first link you'll hit that says this, right before that WLYT
102.9 link. OK, Vo space on that listen link.
Now, This is the problem. It comes up in a new browser window,
just fine, however, there is absolutely no audio. If you look at
the top left item of this new window that popped up, you'll see
something that says Mac Warning image. But then, voing around on
this sfcreen doesn't really reveal anything that says I need to
downlaod a plug in, or that it's not compatible, or the like.
So, I'm really kind a stumped. It works absolutely beyond
flawlessly in Windows, but on the Mac, it's beeing a pain. I
didn't know if maybe yall may could figure outta way in Safari to
get it to work. I don't have an intel based mac, so Virtual Box,
Fusion, and Boot Camp, are totally outta the question.
Chris.
