Joy,
Was there a reason you needed to use the new console to the player?
Could this be, once again, a case of holding off on upgrading until and
unless accessibility has been sorted? ? I'll be looking out for more
info, as I use the iPlayer myself sometimes. I guess we will all,
eventually, have to migrate to the new player - they now plan on a
radio-only and a tv-only set-up.

Good day,
My flash is enabled, and it sounds to me as though you are describing
the older, accessible consol which I never had a moments problem with
and would like to continue using. The new one is NOT! like that.
I am using Jaws 11, and my problems began Sunday night,, ... I use the
BBC site for one reason or another at least six days a week and have
for over five years, so please believe me this is recent.
If they work correctly the two links below should take you to the two
different listen again pages they are now presenting. The first is
the old accessible page, the second the new page where I have not been
able to find the buttons that are still there, somewhere.

You need to have flash enabled, as the page has a lot of that. the
buttons are then read by JAWS. there is the Play/pause button which
does
what it says. The timeline button allows you to jump by percentage
increments, the percentage being of the programme's length. There is
also a volume adjust button, and an Adobe Flash popout button. You
didn't say which version of JAWS you're using.

Good day,
Has anyone come across the new (and supposedly improved) iPlayer that
the BBC uses to play their radio shows online? The "old" one
uploaded
and showed a simple consol that was easy for Jaws to navigate. This
new one is displaying a page filled with links, graphics and text. I
had someone sighted take a look and the vital buttons are still
there,
and have the same labels: play/pause, volume and timeline, but Jaws
can't find/see them with either cursor. Could this possibly be a
Jaws
setting I need to change? Or is there a work around that will let me
find them? Because not being able to hit pause during a three hour
show is a real problem.
If anyone has any help or suggestions to offer I'd be very
appreciative,
Yours sincerely,
Joy
