Audio uploading but not playing

[d r]

Hello all.  I'm having issues getting audio to play for my analysis language glosses on webonary. Here's a general entry:

https://www.webonary.org/tama/g8b5b5c56-84f1-43d7-a3a6-dca0dea3b8a0/

The vernacular word audio is in Flex as a media file under pronunciation.  When it is clicked, it plays just fine.  There are no issues with the vernacular audio anywhere on Webonary.

The gloss audio however, does not work.  It does correctly link to the audio and audio file name when it is clicked, like this: https://www.webonary.org/tama/browse/browse-vernacular/?key=tma&letter=i#gsmall-EN

In the above link, the audio file was named small-EN.mp3.  However the audio does not play. The gloss audio is stored in flex as an audio recording under each gloss vernacular language audio.  Within Flex itself, all audio plays fine when clicked on.

I previously had gloss audio working on Webonary as well, it only stopped after the latest webonary upload.  I had changed the name of some of the audio files before the latest upload.  But they were properly relinked in Flex.  My understanding would be then at upload, they would properly link to the new audio files on Webonary as well.  The fact that clicking play indicates a link to the correct audio file title, there's no reason to think linking is the issue.... yet they don't play anything.

With various hopping around, I have found one gloss audio entry that plays correctly.  It is the English gloss found with this entry.

https://www.webonary.org/tama/g11eb0dac-e026-4674-81e8-8c022105d023/

I've tried to compare this entry to the others that don't work, but find no differences whatsoever.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Dave,

Thank you for the helpful information you sent about the problem. I had a look at the audio filenames and I notice that there is a space (%20) after the filename for the French gloss. When that is removed the link works.

This is the link in the file:

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/cloud-storage.webonary.org/tama/AudioVisual/etre%20petit-FR.mp3%20

Which might look correct but if you look at the underlying web address you will see a %20 on the end which is causing the problem.

The English gloss link that works doesn't have this %20 on the end.

Can you check the filenames in FLEx? If you would like some help please share a backup of the dictionary with me.

Kind regards,

Peter

Thanks for noticing that Peter!  You found the issue.  It was not in the actual audio names, but in the way in the way Flex linked to them (which was then exported into the xhtml/webonary).  I must have accidentally added a space in my bulk edit at some point.  I tested it on chrome, firefox, and edge and things are working 100% on Webonary now.  Though there is still something funny going on with my exported xhtml file.  Firefox works fine, but for chrome and edge, it only plays the audio up to the middle of the letter G entries.  After that, everything looks right in the linked files (there is no space), but it still won't play.  I've got other things on my hands and will have to get back to that part later.  Thanks again for your help!
