[sword-devel] Linked in audio files

2010-08-24 Thread Peter von Kaehne
A thread a few days ago we talked about linking to audio files. The suggestion made was to use start and end times for each verse, add this information into the module and let the application advise an associated media player to play verses or passages. I also understand that at least Nic from

Hi everyone, I think we got hung up by thinking that everything has to be done within the module. Why are we focusing on the OSIS files? Is there any real need to define a new marker tag for audio in the OSIS? I very much doubt that it's necessary. As far as I can tell, the OSIS files used by Jo

Matthew, Well that's going to be the case anyway. Each SWORD (or JSword) front-end application would need to implement a media player for playing the ancillary resource when the user wishes. The total amount of work may turn out to be less, especially if the OSIS files do not have to be changed

I should have mentioned that the reason for the backwards incomaptibility was unrelated to audio support. It was due to the separate IBT requirement to support v11ns for both KJV and RST (Russian Synodal Translation) for the 66 book protestant canon. cf. Their project began considerably before
