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.
