Sound question
« on: September 01, 2009, 10:43:10 am »
Hi everybody

I've some troubles adding a sound to one of my pages.
here the xml code:

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "http://megazine.mightypirates.de/megazine.dtd">
<book pageheight="560" pagewidth="404" bggradient="false" cornerhint="false" barpos="top 20" dragrange="20" hidebuttons="fullscreen settings help" openhelp="never" zoomrotate="false" zoomthumb="true">
<chapter>
<page>
<snd src="snd/azzurro.mp3" />
<img src="pages/pagina_1.swf" hires="pages/01b.jpg" />
</page>
</chapter>
</book>

In local server it works correctly, but online the sound starts after a minute.
Is there a way to enable streaming for sounds?
I think im missing an attribute somewhere...

thanks for help :)

Hi Michele84,

Your XML looks OK, to me at least. And as it works locally, it should work (and does as you wrote) online, too.

I see you have two files on that page - an SWF and a MP3. Could it be your MP3 is not just a loop, but a bigger piece? SWFs can be big sometimes, the same for  MP3s (which sometimes take up to 1 MB per minute, unless you know how to  compress them better) ...
Perhaps it is just a connection problem? (Are you on broadband?) - Is the sound file music or speech? Can I see it online somewhere?
