Hi,
No, it is in System Preferences what you want. You want the browser
tab and then check the use quicktime instead of plugin checkbox. That
is all.
Thanks for listening,

o, ok, Randy, so how do we go about configuring this thing?
Now that I installed the .mpkg file, will it be residing in my
Application's folder, and if so, once it's up, just like usual, do I
just need to dooa command comma to bring up the preferences?

Chris,
That's why I have configured Flip4Mac to bring up Quicktime rather
than use the embedded player. This way I have the Quicktime
controls which are accessible with VoiceOver. The xm radio
embedded player is flash based and VoiceOver doesn't work well or
at all with flash.

Well, I can get the xm radio site to work, but I don't know where
the little icons like I said to turn up and down the volume in
the embedded player are. I neither can find stop, play, or mute.
It's not a matter with the xm site, me not getting it to play,
and work, it's more I can't find out where those controls are in
the player.
Chris.

You need Flip4Mac. I am able to get both of these sites to work
with no problem using VO.

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.
