Cannot define the range of sound file

[joancompte]

I'm using Linux (xubuntu 12.04).

I'm using a large sound file to "read" a text on a page (when clicking on a picture).
I want the program to read a sentence of the text, when clicking on a cell.

In the cell content, I select Active content. Then, I choose the file and write where I want it to start and to end (I think it's in milliseconds).

That doesn't work.

Then I tried the demo file (demo.jclic.zip) and tried to run the dictation activity which uses this feature. But it doesn't work either.

So I suppose it is something that doesn't work. Did you get that misbehaviour?

Hi Joan,

You are right!

I have done some testing with different Java Virtual Machines on Linkat-Ubuntu 12.04, and these are the results:

openjdk-6 (the original JVM in Precise): Error when creating time-constrained audio clips
openjdk-7: Also, error when creating time-constrained audio clips
oracle-java7 (installed from ppa:webupd8team/java): Time-constrained audio clips are running OK.

It seems to run also OK on Windows and Mac systems (with Oracle Java, too)

I will try to investigate and find a solution for openJDK. By now, the only workaround I have found is to use oracle-java instead of openjdk-6 or openjdk-7 (not a good solution!)

Best regards,

Francesc
