Raul,
Thanks for your response. I think that should answer things for people.
The problem I think is that there hasn't been a lot of response from gw
in the past few days, but getting we 7 out the door is no small task and
I'm sure that's taking everyone's time at gw right now.
I think what really was not clear was whether or not you guys really
could duplicate the problems well enough to pass the information on to
HIMS, but sounds like you can, so I think we can wait.
As you say, a beta is exactly what the name implies, and this holds true
for window-eyes and the sense notetakers as well.
Looking forward to the next beta and pounding away on it. <smile>
Don

Subject: Re: [GWN] audio streaming and the new beta
Hi. the clarification is that this is a beta. Therefore, nothing is
guaranteed to work as expected. We did note in the readme that there
are issues with streaming. Some of the streaming problems are more
problematic in the Voice Sense and original Braille Sense and not the
new Braille Sense Plus. I can assure you that this will be fixed and
we don't plan on leaving it this way.
I realize that this is frustrating at best, but we all need to
remember that when using beta software, things like this can happen.
Although we try to do our best to insure a stable release, this is not
always possible. hence the reason for a beta.
In the mean time you have the choice of going back to the 1.21 Voice
Sense firmware, or giving it a few more days when we have another
public beta which will correct this.
Many thanks.

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.
