Description of project
I have built a module that can be downloaded as a small-medium sized file, whilst the videos remain online. They are played via a browser window embedded in the opus pro page. There is also a requirement for the trainee to email their data results back to us after they have finished the test.
I have not built this as a complete online module as I have no knowledge of web programming, html, servers etc. I can however build an Opus project as a standalone (the download module) which then uses a basic browser interface to play the video. The video is on web pages online. I have an excellent standard of OpusScript.
Version: Opus Pro XE v2.7 (2002)
Problem 1
I would like to know how to check if there is an internet connection, so that they cannot run the application unless it is there. An opening screen would be ideal. I need the internet there to play the videos and send the email.
Problem 2
WMV video playback in a browser - I have noticed when I go from question to question that the start of the WMV playback is problematic. It remains blank for say 2 seconds, then plays the video, but in a hurried frame rate for about 1-2 seconds, then resumes as normal. This has something to do with the way it is unpacking the video data for the browser from the WMV, because I switched it to a low resolution AVI and it doesn't happen any more. Is there a way to make the WMV play in a solid fashion every time?
Problem 3
I am interested to know if you can show a Windows Media Player object in a browser with the ability to frame by frame the video, using the View/Enhancements/Play Speed Settings automatically being put on screen, as it is otherwise unavailable as I amrestricting controls to the user.
Problem 4 / unrelated
I purchased the Opus software many years ago (2002). I have lost (or had stolen) my Illuminatus CD-ROMs and one manual for v2.7, is there a way to get replacements? I am not in the market to buy a newer version. I've still got one of the manuals and packaging!
