After doing quite a bit of testing to confirm, this morning I filed
http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-9351 : Captions broken. Basically,
captions do not appear in the Engage player, in any browser.
I'm certain this is a regression. I know that I've tested captions at
some point in 1.4 and it worked, but I'm sorry I cannot confirm when
that was. I know because I had to confirm for our pilot that there was a
workaround to http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-9045, which is to
upload captions when on hold.
This is a critical blocker for UC Berkeley for our pilot planned for the
Spring semester that starts Jan 22nd. The pilot will include around
1,000 students, so the chances are very high that we will be required to
provide closed captioning in these recordings. If the player is not able
to display captions, we will not be able to use Engage in our pilot.
Our developers have little to no experience working in the Engage
player. I imagine many of you are heading out for winter break, but I'm
sending this out as a plea to anyone who can find time to look into (and
hopefully resolve!) this bug in the next couple of weeks. If you are
able to assist, we would be deeply indebted.
Thank you!
Michelle
