Paul,
I really have to agree with you here. I'm sure this is being worked on
and that there is enough data to verify that there really is a problem
as well as enough examples out there to illustrate it.
It would be reassuring to hear from gw on this though, especially in
view of the fact that the media player has worked so well in the past.
Don

Subject: [GWN] audio streaming and the new beta
I know there are a number of people on this list who have made reference
to the fact that several individual links do not work when streaming
audio. I would make the point that virtually none of the hundreds of
links that I had set up will now work. This is a huge step backward. I
would like to know if this is a problem that applies to this beta which
is being worked on seriously so that it will be remedied in the final
release? I hope this is the case. If, instead, it represents a change
in the approach to streaming to which we will have to adjust, I would
like to make it clear that this seems a significant degradation in
functionality. I would almost propose going back to where we were
rather than staying where we are.
In any case, Raoul and others, I for one would appreciate some
clarification on the current state of streaming and what we can expect
in the future.

Subject: Re: [GWN] URL doesn't work
Hello Mike. Is it possible for you to send the url so I can report it?
If you can't because of confidentiality, I understand. If possible, you
can also send it privately directly to my Email address.

I got another email with a link to an audio file. In beta 1, space-w
yielded a blank page but ent-u took me to the file download diabog.

Hello. Just replying to an old message of mine. The inconsistency in
the
below message was fixed in beta 1.
Many thanks.

Hello Mike. I tried two things. One way I was not able to get this
to
work, and the other way i was.
1. From the main program menu I pressed space-w to open a www url. I
went to the link you provided and it did not work.
2. I first opened the web browser with B from the main program menu.
After the web browser launched I pressed enter-u to open a url. In
the
box I typed the full http address you provided and a file download
dialog box came up and allowed me to download the wave file which i
could later listen to from the media player by pressing enter on it
in
the downloads folder.
So bottom line, it's working, but you have to enter in the url from
the
enter-u edit box after the web browser has already been launched.
I will see what can be done to make this consistent. Good catch.

Hello list,
On other lists, there are often links like the one below to audio
files. This one doesn't work--it yields a blank page.
