Hello
Does anyone know what is needed on the web server to get captioning to
function properly? I have followed the tutorial on the webaim site
(http://www.webaim.org/techniques/captions/windows/) however I am unable
to get it work consistently. The web server is Apache running on Linux.
I have set the proper mime types for the asx/asf file as well as for the
sami/smil file types. However the captioning doesn't seem to be working
consistently. The video plays fine. To view it you can go to:

http://www.se-jin.com/library/sawmo/docs/SAW_Journey_of_One.asx

For some reason if I go to the smil file first
(http://www.se-jin.com/library/sawmo/docs/SAW_Journey_of_One.smi) then
go to the video link it seems to work. Do I need to have this on a
streaming server for it to work properly? Also does anyone know if
captions were supported in older versions of Microsoft Media Player?

Thanks

Thanks Andrew. I tried using the full urls but it still doesn't seem to
be sending the sami file with the video file. Here's my asx file:

Journey of One

The ref file is all on one line. Am I missing something? On the apache
web server I have the following mime types:

AddType video/x-ms-asf asf asx
AddType video/x-ms-wmv wmv
AddType application/smil smi

Here's my sami file:

Journey of One



Narrator: Civilians are playing an
increasingly important
role in
Army Transformation, taking over many leadership

positions now performed by uniformed soldiers.

Yet today, despite the strong
tradition of civilian
career
development built on the foundation of the Army
Civilian
Training and Education Development System or ACTEDS,
the Army
is faced with an aging civilian workforce, a lack of
focused
leadership development for senior civilians and limited
human
capital planning tied to budgeting and mission requirements.
The need
for a multi-skilled civilian workforce that can adapt
quickly
to a changing Army mission must be addressed now.

The Senior Army Workforce - or SAW -
will help build this new

generation of civilian leaders. They will, for the first time,
be
centrally developed and managed, with focused education,
leader
development, and a strategic, Army-wide vision.

The "Journey of One" is the
adventure each SAW member will discover
through
the progression of their career. We hope you'll join us.

Narrator: When implemented, GS 12 to15 supervisors
or their pay-banded
equivalents will be eligible
for the SAW Program. The program encompasses
five main components: Central
Management, Multifunctional Career Paths,
Training and Development, a
Competency Based System, and Job Mobility.

Thanks in advance!
