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.

HTML5 TTS on iOS Not Working?

Alex 7 years ago updated by Gil Sideman 6 years ago 4

When visiting the "Dynamically Call Text-to-Speech" demo page (http://www.oddcast.com/support1/saytext_classic.html) from an iOS device (confirmed with iPads running iOS 9 and iOS 10), a spinning icon appears and the audio is not played. The avatar itself renders fine; it just malfunctions when any of the links on the page are clicked to generate TTS audio. Other demos with static audio work fine. Symptoms appear with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. We are experiencing the same symptoms with our own avatars on our own pages. Other browsers and operating systems work fine. Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround for iOS devices?

Answer

In revisiting this issue - I'd like to add that the code was revised shortly after this discussion to ensure that attempting to initiate speech on a mobile browser before page is activated will not cause an error.
