Re: question
Gene
In order to help, we need details. What
browser are you using? When you press enter on the file, does it play in
the browser or open another program? Is the file actually referred to as a
podcast? We don't know, at this point, if the file is being played as it
is fully downloaded into the browser or a player or if it is a stream that only
plays part of the file, overwrites what it has played as it plays
move.
Can you give the address of the page where the file
link is?
Gene
Hi gene Your explanation is quite right. There isn’t any file to download but to play it on the website. Regards Anthony

I discussed the file type briefly but my main point is that using the context menu will allow you to save files on some sites and not on others. this is not related to the file type, it's how the site is constructed.
We don't know, but my guess is that, in this case, Internet Explorer is being used and the file opens in Windows Media player, hence the question of how to save from there.
In the context of other browsers, not the archaic Internet Explorer, the file is played in the browser when you press enter on the link. If you are on a site where save target as or equivalent doesn't work, you need to know that you can use the command control s while the file is playing, and save it while in the browser in that way.
Of course, that presupposes that you are dealing with an actual file that is playing from the site as a file, and not a stream. The stream plays a little of a file and then refreshes the buffer in the browser or player but the entire file is never available. Just a little bit ahead of where you are listening. It can't be saved because it is a stream, not a file playing as a file from the web site. Since this is called a podcast in the question, the odds are that it is an actual file being played from the web site, not a stream as I am using the word.

Hello Gene,
If you read my message again, I do say, “We don’t know what kind of file it is so can’t be specific”, It’s worth a try anyway, if the original questioner could say exactly what podcast is to be downloaded, that would be better. As you rightly say,that is why you asked questions. Best Regards, Jim.
That is one way you can save many files. But it is important to know other ways as well. Some sites don't support downloading files in that way. That's why I asked questions such as whether the file opens in Windows media Player.

Hello,
Pressing enter on the link will probably open it, if it’s to be downloaded, try the context menu, [key to the left of the right control key on a standard keyboard], you get options including maybe “save as” or “save target as”, this should bring up the normal save as dialogue and the file can be saved to a folder, from there it cvan be opened in a program such as Windows media player. We don’t know what kindof file it is so can’t be specific, I hope this helps and good luck.
Best Regards, Jim.
But when you press enter on the link, what happens? Does it play In Media Player? I believe someone described how to download a file such as a podcast playing in Windows Media Player. But before that method is of any use to you, does the file open in the player?

Re: Blindspot is a windowless spotify
I tried using the new windows 10 app and there are still unlabeled buttons. And none of the check boxes anounce themselves so I may go back to BlindSpot. I'm honestly shocked they made some aspects of the program accessible. How in the world did that happen? LOL! Someone suggested I just use their mobile app. I still use a flip phone! I perfer to use my laptop and desktop for, well, everything else. I'm old school, I guess. There are active feature suggestions popping up so someone is working on it, somewhere! LOL.

Re: I give up!

I doubt this has anything to do with Avast.
If Avast kept changes from being made in the registry, you couldn't install
programs nor could you change most program settings. How did you find this
hidden partition and how do you know it is related to Avast? I'm very
skeptical unless you present more information.

Narrator to slow and clunky? What do you meen with clunky? Skickades från E-post för Windows 10
Från: Brian's Mail list account via Groups.Io
It seems to me like Microsoft are slipping back into the ways that got them into the brown sticky stuff with edge. Ie changing things and putting out releases with no advisory to the screenreader community of a big change in the system. we have seen it in Skype recently too. Somebody over there at Microsoft needs to get a better grip on changes that affect access software and not merely assume narrator is all that matters.
Narrator is still too slow and clunky to use every day. I was going to get a windows 10 machine but until they stop messing about I'm sorely tempted to stay old fashioned!
Have they lost that Jenny whats her name from the accessibility management who seemed to do a good job before? Brian

Re: question
Gene
I discussed the file type briefly but my main point
is that using the context menu will allow you to save files on some sites and
not on others. this is not related to the file type, it's how the site is
constructed.
We don't know, but my guess is that, in this case,
Internet Explorer is being used and the file opens in Windows Media player,
hence the question of how to save from there.
In the context of other browsers, not the archaic
Internet Explorer, the file is played in the browser when you press enter on the
link. If you are on a site where save target as or equivalent doesn't
work, you need to know that you can use the command control s while the file is
playing, and save it while in the browser in that way.
Of course, that presupposes that you are dealing
with an actual file that is playing from the site as a file, and not a
stream. The stream plays a little of a file and then refreshes the buffer
in the browser or player but the entire file is never available. Just a
little bit ahead of where you are listening. It can't be saved because it
is a stream, not a file playing as a file from the web site. Since this is
called a podcast in the question, the odds are that it is an actual file being
played from the web site, not a stream as I am using the word.

Subject: Re: [nvda] question Hello Gene,
If you read my message again, I do say, “We don’t know what kind of
file it is so can’t be specific”,
It’s worth a try anyway, if the original questioner could say exactly what
podcast is to be downloaded, that would be better.
As you rightly say,that is why you asked questions.
Best Regards,
Jim.
That is one way you can save many files. But
it is important to know other ways as well. Some sites don't support
downloading files in that way. That's why I asked questions such as
whether the file opens in Windows media Player.

Subject: Re: [nvda] question Hello,
Pressing enter on the link will probably open it, if it’s to be downloaded,
try the context menu, [key to the left of the right control key on a standard
keyboard], you get options including maybe “save as” or “save target as”, this
should bring up the normal save as dialogue and the file can be saved to a
folder, from there it cvan be opened in a program such as Windows media
player.
We don’t know what kindof file it is so can’t be specific, I hope this
helps and good luck.
Best Regards,
Jim.
But when you press enter on the link, what
happens? Does it play In Media Player? I believe someone described
how to download a file such as a podcast playing in Windows Media Player.
But before that method is of any use to you, does the file open in the
player?

Do you hav4e avast on the system?

Or have you had it in the past. I have just found that after a normal uninstall it leaves a couple of routines which cannot seemingly be stopped and they protect anything from altering the registry, and it occurred to me that if any program does this and you attempt to re register dll files it will probably not let it do so.

NVDA is still unknowning and being silent no matter what versions I put on it. I tried the latest 2018 snapshot, a version 2015 snapshot and a version of 2016. It doesn't work on the logon screen either. re-initializing-or whatever it is-the dl files doesn't help either and I'm not techy enough to fool around in the python console. It is just a mystery to me why NVDA has this problem and none of my other screen readers do. One interesting thing is that it does kind of work with Microsoft Edge which is the only browser where the web pages are not silent. As I say, I'm using Windows 10 version 1709 build 16299.248. I'm trying not to become obsessive about it but I hate loose ends!

Re: Master snapshot is only 540k

Yes i suspect some weird routing issue was around on a machine between us and the site itself. Here it was a rarity, but it seems for some it was all the time.
