question about the OTRR Library


Dawn
 

Hello, all,
I'm new here, so, if I'm not allowed to post about this, please let me know. I have a question/problem regarding the OTRR Library site, and playing shows.
I'm using an Ipad 7 and Safari web browser, and Voiceover to access the OTRR Library. Today, I decided to visit and see if I could find something to listen to. Well, I found something that looked interesting, and clicked on it. My problems began when I wanted to play a show.
I opened OTRR Library in a different window, and found a progbam that looked interesting to me, (Aunt Jimima) I found and selected an episode, but, I could NOT see any player controls. Wanting to see what would happen if I didn't open in another window, I went back to the original page, and found and tried another program, (Father Knows Best) and selected an episode. While I could see the player controls, when hit play, the show still wouldn't play.
There are no ad-blockers or VPN's on, and if there were, I would have white-listed OTRR Library. I have also checked out the FAQ section, and found nothing. Other than this, I haven't come across any other issues. Also, I know you guys had to recently make some changes. So, not sure if this is a bug resulting from these changes or not.
Any help would be appreciated! Because while I may be new here, I've been an OTR fan since I was 12 years old, and, I'll be 26 in a few months! :-) I still remember receiving my very first set of Old Time Radio shows. It was called This Is Your FBI. :-) When we finally got wi-fi in my area, that was one of the first things I looked up.
Again, I appreciate any help you can give!
Thank You In Advance,
Dawn

The player has not worked for me either for a couple of days. Up-to-date Firefox on both a PC and an Android

I miss this functionality!

Thanks

O man! I'm sorry it hasn't worked for you either! Although I'm glad I am not alone.

I’ve had the same issue with both Chrome and Edge.  I believe Paul is working on it.

I just now tried it (1059h 2/2) and it works! At least on the sample Dragnet file I chose...

Yay!

Go get VLC media player.  It will play almost any sort of media format.  It's free!!

Yes. I’m working on it.

Episodes from our maintained sets (stored at the internet archive) should be fine.

Everything else is currently turned off.

If I can get it working this weekend, I’ll adjust the Library to be a “skinny” version that shows only those active files.
