Mobile avatar have several problems

Bjorn 7 years ago updated by Gil Sideman 7 years ago 10

 Dear SitePal,


I find many problems on mobile platforms.


1. AUTOPLAY.  

You say autoplay do not work on mobile devices.  First, this is surprising as for instance Facebook autoplay all my Videos on my FB Wall. Anyway, you say that play not is possible before user has interacted with page. 

QUESTION 1:  Does this mean that we may (have to) create a "Speek" button which by using JavaScript starts avatar speech?

QUESTION 2:  If so, how is the speech started?  There is no 'startSpeech' API call, only a 'stopSpeech' call.  Could the 'reply' API call be used? 
QUESTION 3:  I managed to start speech on avatar running on mobile by creating a button which in its JavaScript click event called 'sayText'.  But I had to press the button 3 times before speech was made!


2. MANUAL PLAY.

Manual play on mobile is possible, but I have to click the avatar 3 (!) times:  

    i.  First to get the play-icon to show.

   ii.  Then I click on the play icon without anything happening.

  iii.   Then on third click, the avatar starts speeking.

QUESTION 4: Why is there not a *large* play button that is visible from the start on mobile, and that accepts a *single* click to start?


SUMMARY:

*) Autoplay is not working.

*) Not able to start the avatar manually. e.g. from another button on the page.

*) Manual play is so cumbersome that most users will not understand how to do it.



Please help.  Mobile is an essential platform.  Only having an avatar being utilized by end-users on a PC platform is not an option.

the programming time is limited to 36040

Jeremy 7 years ago updated by Fred 7 years ago 2

I am trying to select an audio file for one of my scenes, and I have received a popup error that says: 

"This audio cannot be selected. The programming time is limited to 36040 seconds and 36040 seconds have been used. Please select an audio up to 0 seconds long."


What does this mean, and how do I resolve it??

HTML5 and Bootstrap Dropdown Menu Layering Issue

Alex 7 years ago updated 7 years ago 5

Hi, all.


I have a sample published here:

https://rtgstorecentus01.blob.core.windows.net/content/sandbox/bootstrap-4-menu.html


The page uses the Bootstrap toolkit. If you click on the dropdown menu in the menubar, you'll notice that it falls behind the avatar. It doesn't do this with the Flash version. Is it possible to alter the layering somehow so that the SitePal player is lower on the z-axis?


The above sample uses the current version of Bootstrap 4.0, which technically is still in beta. This issue also appears in the most recent production version of Bootstrap, version 3.3.7:

Thanks much!

Alex - 

We've assigned "z-index: 9999;" to our SitePal player so that it would not be hidden behind other HTML elements. 

You should be able to resolve by assigning a larger z-index to the dropdown.

We've verified this will work in your case - please see the following screenshots -

Hope this helps.

HTML5 Avatars and Player Frames

Alex 7 years ago updated by Gil Sideman 7 years ago 3

Hi, all.


I have a sample available here:

https://rtgstorecentus01.blob.core.windows.net/content/sandbox/skinned-player.html


This particular scene is supposed to have a frame (or skin) at the bottom of the player:

Image 89


Are frames only rendered in the Flash version?


Thanks!

Saytext () instruction limit

François 7 years ago updated by Gil Sideman 7 years ago 2

Hello,


In Saytext (txt, ...), txt is limited to 900 characters. (225 characters in Chinese and Japanese language).
But using the Saytext () statement in a JavaScript function [sayText ('..'; sayText ('..'; sayText ('..'; sayText ('..'; ...]
or directly in a link [<a href = "javascript: sayText (), sayText () sayText () sayText () sayText (), ...], is it limited number of Saytext() statements?


cordially

François SCHAAL

Bonjour,
Dans Saytext(txt,...), txt est limité à 900 caractères. (225 caractères en langue chinoise et japonaise).
Mais l'utilisation de l'instruction Saytext()  dans une fonction Javascript [sayText('..';sayText('..';sayText('..';sayText('..';...] 
ou directement dans un lien [<a href="javascript:sayText(),sayText()sayText()sayText()sayText(),...] est-elle limitée en nombre d'instructions Saytext() ?
Cordialement

Hello François - 

Yes you can call sayText repeatedly (in sequence) to speak a longer text.


Below are a couple of technical examples.


You may need to set the value of the "interrupt mode" to zero (OFF).

When Interrupt Mode is OFF, successive calls to sayText or sayAudio are queued for playback.
