Embedding Audio in iWeb

How do I embed an audio file?

Then use Flash.
You can download the video too, but as they say, ignorance is the best protection.
Here is a sample to embed what you want. Then proceed to the other pages for details.

but I have no idea what I'm talking about at this point, haha
Then stick to what you do know about.
Anyway, you want a one size fits all window? A bit of [searching would have found it|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6948983#6948983].

Drag the lower righthand corner of your browser window.
It cannot be done with iWeb.

Embeding Audio in iWeb 1.1.2 with XSPF

Calling all iWeb pros!
I am very interested in a detailed and layman's version of how to go about implementing XSPF across an iWeb site. I am a pretty advanced user of macs and iLife in general, but I know squat about coding and HTML,XML etc...
I found these tutorials online:
http://www.boutell.com/xspf/
http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/stu/ahanley/music/help.htm
http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/
however, I could use some definite hand-holding to show me how it's done.
Any help or assistance, be it a better method, a walkthrough, or whatever - would be most appreciated.

newmacguru,
Thanks for the link. That and the wimpy player have been my best leads so far. I could still use some assistance in the how-to's when publishing to .Mac. I think I can pull it off using a FTP site, but would like to stick with .Mac if I can help it (since I already use it). Thanks.

Safari 3.2.1 on mac fails to play embedded audio content.

my homepage, http://bloodnok.net/ has an embedded audio snippet. the audio snippet is loaded using an <object> tag. the page is xhtml transitional (don't want to be strict) & validates on the w3c site.
when i visit the site with firefox or opera from my mac, the audio plays on page load as expected. when i visit it from winxp (in fusion) using firefox, opera, safari, or google chrome, the audio also plays. ie6, of course, doesn't work, but who cares?
but here's the thing; when i visit the site with safari 3.2.1 from the mac, the audio doesn't play. if i open the "web inspector" (from the develop menu), it indicates the audio file wasn't even downloaded.
i've "reset" safari with no change in behaviour.
is there a known bug in the handling of <object> tag requests specific to the osx implementation? given this works on almost all other browsers & with safari on winxp, it's curious that it doesn't on safari 3.2.1 on the mac.
or does it work on yours & there's something else going on with my mac?

yeah i did, thanks. that breaks all the other browsers & it made no difference on safari.
i'm playing with a macbook at the apple store & its safari won't autoplay the audio, so it's apparently not my mac ...

A way to link to embedded audio player

I am very new to this and am trying to add the audio (mp3)
from a conference that my office held to our website. I wanted to
have a list of the presenters at the conference to the left of my
page with each name being a link to one embedded audio player on
the right. Is this possible to do? I can figure out how to embed
the player with a playlist and just have the viewer control it from
the player but I would prefer to use a sleeker player that does not
incorporate a playlist viewer - so the ability to be able to link
multiple links to the one embedded player would be perfect.

Search Google for "free flash mp3 player". There are many
that you can
incorporate.

Embedded audio file won't play in Safari

I'm trying to plan an embedded audio file in safari, but it just never loads. Similar files on the same page are marked 'Flash 9 is required to listen to audio' - I have listened to these files before without any problems.
I have Flash 11.5 installed, have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash and all the fixes for when YouTube videos won't play in Safari but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

You will really need to upload it if you want someone to help you troubleshoot the problem. It could be any number of reasons.
If and when you do upload, make sure that you upload the supporting folder that is created when you create a swf on a page.

Capturing SDI + EMbedded Audio with DeckLink Pro HD

Hi,
Has anyone captured multiple audio streams with the DeckLink card ?
I wish to capture the embedded audio + video direct to the timeline using Premiere CS3 [ currently using trial version ]
Thanks
Mark

Yes Mark, I do it all the time with CS2 (haven't got around to doing it in CS3). I have a few Blackmagic products so all you do when capturing via SDI is go to the capture settings and set it to capture audio as 5.1 which really means capture 6 audio streams. Obviously 2 steams would be empty when capturing a digibeta.

Movies: Embedded audio sometimes exporting, sometimes not...?

Hi, I'm working on a project right now synching to a .mov file running in Logic. When I go to 'Export Audio to Movie...', Logic is also putting the embedded audio from the .mov file into my export which I don't want. Weirdly, yesterday morning when I did it, this didn't happen. Logic 7 used to bring up a dialogue box where you could select the embedded audio if you wanted it in the bounce. This doesn't seem to be happening anymore, or has something changed?
In the Video 'Settings' the Sound Output is set to Mute and the Movie Volume is right down. I need to send this off today, so if someone can help clear this up I'd be very grateful. I'll happily supply any more info.
Thanks!

Hi, Looks like I'm WAY too late to actually help but... I recently encountered the same infuriating issue!!! In the end it was resolved when I realized that I actually had to deselect (click the space away from the text) the original audio file on the dialogue box. It's the last one to come up when your exporting (saving etc...). the one that says:
**Select the audio tracks of movie to keep in new movie**
I'm not sure I articulated that one too cleanly but I hope you get the gist.

Embedded audio

Hi,
after some years I finally managed to install Adobe Reader for PPC, after I set the right registry key. Now I wanted to view a PDF with embedded audio. I tried two ways: 1st I copied the pdf directly on the SD-card. This PDF I can display but on all adio-links I just get red question-marks. 2nd I used ActiveSync to copy the PDF including some conversion. This PDF brings the PDA to a halt when I load it with Adobe Reader. The same happens with the "Adobe Reader-Benutzerhandbuch" (manual/German). So is it possible to get the audio?
Dimitri

Brian,
If I choose the Fixed Timing option in KN '08 and delete the default duration values, it doesn't let me save the file. Nothing happens when I click Next. If I instead try to set either value to zero, it doesn't let me edit the other value. This is a definite change from KN 3.
However, if I instead choose manual advance, my timings are preserved in the exported movie except for the first slide, which requires a click or other action to advance.
Weird.

Video embedded audio track names wrong in iOS6?

I have an iPad 1 (iOS 5) and iPad 2 (iOS4) and an iPad 3 (new iPad) with iOS6
For our application we have a webapp that can show video. The video is transcoded to m4v and containst embedded subtitles and languages.
In the iOS4 and iOS 5 device I can maximize the video and select an audio track from the list (Englis, French, Spanish). If I run the same webapp in iOS6 and select the same movie I can select languages as well but they are named "Stereo, Stereo, Stereo".
To make it even worse: i also have an iPod touch with iOS6. If I press the "Language and subtitle" button while playing the movie (again same webapp and movie) the player removes the bottom controls at all, and it is not possible to play/pause etc anymore.
Are these bugs in the iOS6 player? If so, is Apple working on a hotfix update to solve them ?

Additional info that I just found:
the movie runs in an webapp in the video tag
I start the movie with embedded audio and subtitles in portrait orientation of the device
When the movie is playing I turn the device to landscape
Now the subtitle button shows up. Press the subtitle button
The controls at the bottom seem to dissappear
Turn the device back to portrait
Press the Done button
See the Audio / Subitle selection menu popping up shortly above the movie
The controls now are restored.
Seems that the audio / subtitle selection menu is opening behind the movie. This happens in iPod only, it does not happen in iPad with iOS6. It also does not happen with the normal video player App.
Any way to use the iOS builtin video player app for the video tag in a web app?

Embedded audio doesn't play on iPad or iPhone

I have embedded HTML code in my homepage for audio to play:
<embed src="playit.mp3" autostart="true" loop="false" hidden="true"></embed>
which plays OK on desktops and laptops, but does not play on iPads or iPhones.
Does anyone else experience this with their embedded audio code?
Is this phenomenon a quirk of iPad/iPhone that requires some special coding?
All feedback welcome.

If you're hosting with Business Catalyst, please re-try publishing All Files through Upload options (and not just the modified files), clear mobile browser cache and check again. If that doesn't help, please share the site URL.

Why will Safari not play MP3s embedded in my iWeb pages when Firefox can?

One would have thought that if iWeb was going to get picky over the scenarios in which it would behave correctly, it would favour Apple-centric enviroments. But this doesn't appear to be the case when building an iWeb site with embedded MP3 files.
The published site behaves perfectly when viewed in Firefox and yes, even IE's latest incarnation. Files may take a while to download but they play when the download has finished. Safari is a different story. The MP3 files embedded in some pages simply will not play when viewed with Safari.
This page in particular has never worked in Safari -
http://www.whisperycat.co.uk/version_5/sounds/Entries/2011/3/23_Promenade.html
A small blue questionmark appears instead of the 'Play' button.
Any workarounds or is it just the case that Safari and iWeb are incompatible on this fundamental point???

Well it looks as though I answered my own question. A Google search revelas that Safari has had over 2 years' history of reported problems with the mp3 format -
http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=safari+wont+play+mp3&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=nkulT9_wA82g8gOPj8ntBA
- and the solution is... STOP USING MP3 FILES
Yes, mp3 format is out, mp4 format is in. SO I'll need to upload MP4 versions of my audio files and then retry.

Embedding audio into indesign for playback in pdf

Hello, i'm trying to create a pdf book of educational lectures with audio of the transcribed lectures embedded into the pdf so the user can read and listen along as they like. my solution to this was break up the audio into sections and embed using buttons. this way, the user just has to mouseroll over a button in the margin to play the particular section they want to listen to. there are about three sections per page. the downside of this solution is that the audio doesn't keep playing of course, it just plays that section then stops. i'm now wondering if it might be possible to just have one audio file instead of 60, and make buttons (for each section) that open up the file at a particular point in the audio corresponding to the section; in other words (my question), is it possible to make a button that opens an audio file and plays it from a particular point, not just from the start? I would appreciate any suggestions.

no pardon necessary! i need to embed the audio file because it contains the original lecture, that's what I want the reader to have access to while reading the transcription, since the transcription is not meant to substitute for but rather supplement the audio. for example, in the transcribed text I have put "[...]" for segments of the recording that are inaudible. If I put the original audio into the file then the reader has the option of going to that specific section and listening to it themselves. basically i want to create a pdf document of a lecture. I want to be able to highlight important parts of the lecture, search the lecture for key-words, and scan it quickly for specific items of interest, but I also want easy access to the original audio because tone of voice isn't translatable into text (and the tone of voice in this case is important for meaning), and because there are many segments that I couldn't hear, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to link sections of the text to specific sections of the audio.
