Hi Ham Radio Fans:
Well, if you're getting sick of hearing about this string, frankly so am I.
But for better or worse, there are many people on this list who are in fact
interested in the MLB feeds. I have called on the technical people about
various issues over the last few days.
Here is what I determined. They are in fact working on the Flash Player
accessibility issues; but I wouldn't hold my breath on a final solution.
(hmmmm... don't know if I like that reference. <laugh>!)
However, if you are using Internet Explorer or System Access, at this
writing, the Flash Player buttons show up. Pressing the space bar on them
does some stuff, but because the labeling is so poor, you have to use trial
and error to figure out what is happening.
One thing I have found. Lately, if you are having issues with clicking on
the feeds for one station and getting the other. You can press the switch
feeds button which is near the group of labeled buttons like settings, help,
terms and FAQ. It doesn't always appear at the same position, but it has on
my system been alternately designated as unlabeled 11 button or unlabeled 13
button. In any case, if you are getting the wrong feed, after clicking your
desired callsign. Press one of the top buttons near the tool bar labeled
buttons and then press the F5 key to refresh the page. This works most of
the time to switch feeds.
I informed MLB tech support that at least if they had the Media Center
callsign links work properly that this would solve most of the problems.
They didn't seem too concerned--since they themselves and all sighted people
have no problems seeing the alternative feed link in the Media Player
itself. All they need to do is click on it. I can't always find it easily
on the page, but trying the above described technique has worked 4 out of 5
times so far.
I hope this mucky description gives some Solis to those who want to access
their desired feed--until the MLB people fix the apparent problem.
