Need help with a local TV website with NVDA
|
Lino Morales
I'm about to pull out what's left of my hair out. Could anyone help me? I can't figure out what our local ABC affiliate in Charlotte NC did to their flash settings. the website is:
www.wsoctv.com Find the heading link labeled watch live. It used to play straight away, but as of yesterday it doesn't.There is a clickable imbeded object. I went into focus mode and hit numbpad enter and nothing happens. Thanks.

Your local station is using an inaccessible Flash
control or Flash player, I'm not sure just what. I think they switched to
an inaccessible Flash player. You might be able to get the site to play
using a physical mouse and the NVDA feature that announces what is under the
mouse as you move it but I don't know if you can or not. I don't recall
ever being able to get Flash to play from the keyboard when I've come across
this kind of inaccessible control. However, you might want to play with
other browsers and screen-readers to see if any of them provide access.
Someone else may experiment and figure out a way to get access. Or perhaps
I'll find something but it doesn't look promising.

Try contacting the local website by email. They should have a contact page. Tell them what screen-reader you use.

I tried the liev stream and interacting with the Flash player, but browser crashed. The web dev will have to revert to previous player or move away from Flash to HTML5 <video>.

Hi,
The browser Google Chrome will work much better. I have found this out for
myself on three computers. Chrome uses HTML 5 to the greatest extent, and
streaming works much better. That is my thought. Have a great one.

I couldn't get the site to work either. I hit o for imbedded object and did a left click but that didn't work. Maybe someone else might be better able to figure out what's going on. Rosemarie

Unfortunately, you'll have to update your version of adobe flash Go here to do this and click on the Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI link https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html Let me know if it helps, if not, we will try something else.

Next, you need to install a mozilla addon called Grease monkey. www.greasespot.net After that, you must install an addon called "kill windowless flash" http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/120211 Tell me when you have completed those steps and I'll instruct you on what to do next. Cheers.

Have you tried the site? I have tried Grease
Monkey and Kill Windowless Flash now and then. I seem to recall that it
doesn't work on this kind of player. Some things are just plain
inaccessible. As I said, it's a vague memory and I may be wrong but my
recollection of this kind of player is that it is just not
accessible.

Yes I have tried the site, it is workable with grease monkey and kill
windowless flash installed, but you have to use object navigation with
the flash portion.

That's good. I may try that method. It
may be the only way to use the site with a browser.

There may be some technical reason I can't get the
site to play using Grease Monkey and Kill Windowless Flash. I never use
these add ons and they are installed in an old version of Firefox
Portable. But I was unsuccessful and I believe this player is the same
player I was unsuccessful with years ago. What is your procedure?
Are you using the NVDA activate command or the mouse command?

It uses the flash app by brightcove.

That's what I thought. it looked exactly like
the Bright co app I've seen on some other sites. You may have gotten it to
work but as I recall, I never have with any screen-reader or any
browser.

You must use grease monkey and kill windowless flash or else the brightcove flash portion will be inaccessible

After they have been installed, go to http://www.wsoctv.com/live-stream click on where it says embedded object, then use object navigation mode and navigate the area with insert-2 4 and 6, You'll hear it say graphic graphic graphic, but amongst all the graphics is a series of numbers 0:00, route the mouse to the graphic beside the numbers then left click it. I know it's a little fiddly, but I have it cut down to a fine art.
