Hello Mike. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand what
you are saying and I agree that this needs to be addressed. I've
contacted HIMS and we will be looking into this. I don't know if this
can be addressed for the soon-to-be-released firmware for the
notetakers, but if it does not make it in this one, chances are it will
make the one after.

This URL can be used: http://www.svcb.cc/media/bc/2008_Summer/playlist.m3u.
This playlist has 30 items in it. You will notice that "about:blank" is
displayed. In other words, the browser stays operational instead of just handing the
playlist to the Media Player.
This playlist works properly in Internet Explorer, which calls Windows Media
Player, were you can move forward and backward among the items.
Unfortunately only the first item plays on the Braille Sense Plus, and this appears to be happening in the background, not via the Media Player. This isn't new in that the element playing audio has always seemed to run in the background. So what we need is to somehow get access to this background player.
This playlist is part of an experimental project to make an online audio
edition of the Blind Californian. It is not on the target site (www.ccbnet.org)
yet, and will go away from the svcb.cc site once the project migrates.
If you use www.svcb.cc/files/testbc.htm,
you'll find the HTML page to the project. Here, following the link to access the playlist brings up the favorites dialog;, and, again, only the playlist's first item, apparently playing in the background, is heard.
In this background player, all we can do is change the volume. But it seems there are more controls there, and we need access to them.

Hello list,
I find that if I use a URL to a m3u playlist on a website, the Braille Sense
Plus starts playing the first track in the list, as expected. But I can't find
a way to move to other tracks in the list. It appears that the media player is
working in the background, but I don't see it listed in the running program
list.
If you use a URL to access a m3u playlist, is it possible to control its
playback?
Thank you.
