Hi Dean,<div><br></div><div>It seems that the (formerly) accepted way of using an ASX file that contains a reference to a WMV or AVI file with a reference to a SAMI file as a parameter does not work reliably any more. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you have an FLV or MP4 and want to embed a player in a web page pointing to a streaming source, you can use our player: <a href="http://go.osu.edu/jwpc">http://go.osu.edu/jwpc</a>, which is fully accessible. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you want to embed the caption track in a single file and stick with MOV, I would recommend using iSubtitle. It's the best application I know of for delivery of captioned/subtitled video within a native application (that is, not via a browser). I've never tried to stream these sorts of files from a streaming server, but MOV files can be streamed and since the captions are baked in, there likely won't be any issues. (If you can confirm that it works, please let me/us know.)</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Does the media player from the streaming server have the capability to find and play the ASX or SMIL files? Sometimes, a media player cannot synchronize an external caption file or open an SMIL/ASX file for
video playback. A lot of times a player can only play captions when the info is embedded in the file container, like an MP4 file container.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I am looking for guidance on how to get captions to play with a video hosted on a streaming server.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">A department on campus has a commercial video (with proper permissions) on a streaming server. They have obtained a CD from the production company that has three different
formats of the video (WMV, MOV and FLV), as well as the proper caption file formats for each. So far, I have been unsuccessful in getting captions to play when the video is streaming.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I have tried having the ASX file and the SMI file on the server with the WMV. I have also tried having the ASX file and the SMI file on a local hard drive with the WMV on the
server. I’ve clicked on the ASX file rather than have it embedded in a web page. Does that make a difference in this situation?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thanks in advance for any ideas or resources you can provide!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
