Lately, I’ve been checking and fixing quite a few broken posts. There are issues mostly with videos not playing. This is due to IOS and Android devices not being able to play Flash videos. I’m addressing this problem by adding links which bypass the Flash player. This isn’t perfect, but it should help. Be aware these links are to data files. I’m not sure, but on cellphones there may be extra charges for using data. In addition, these data files can be more difficult to play. You can, of course, download the files. Eventually, I may go to a better system like HTML5. Posts in “Categories” up through “Random Audio & Video” and all posts in “Recent Entries” now have “Direct download or play” links. I’ve added links to a lot of the other posts in no particular order, as well. Now I have to address the mess that is “Street Names Update” and I haven’t actually checked “Weather,” but I think it is mostly okay. Also, I may post something using the new WordPress media player. One of my favorite blogs “Kill Ugly Radio” appears to be using the new player, successfully . Maybe in the next week the entire site will be fixed. Stay Tuned!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI have a question…..
Is there any way you can put your audio files (especially the family tapes) up as mp3 downloads?
Thank you for the suggestion, and I think you are right. I know in the past there has been others asking for the same, and I was either too lazy or didn’t know how to add links. Now, mainly because of smartphones and Apple devices (IOS and Android)not being able to play my videos, I’m starting to add links for “Direct file download or play.” I can do the same for audio, and starting today I’m working on the “Family Tapes” category. I’ll update the “General Update” post within a few days, and as of right now the first three posts in “Family Tapes” have direct links. These files con be quite large, especially video. Be patient when downloading and be aware buffering can happen when playing a file without downloading.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Christmas in October! Your family tapes bring me intense pleasure. I hope that doesn’t sound too odd. But I’m a big audio verite afficiando, and it doesn’t get much more (or much better) “verite” than those. 🙂
