Presentation Broadcast - online playback
Hi all - just new to this. I've just created a simple Presentation Broadcast
which I can playback on my local computer. I want it to playback online. I know I obviously have to transfer all the assoc files to the server...but what specific file do I point to to start the presentation. I have tested it and I cannot get it to start. Thanks. |

I use the DEFAULT.HTM file (I think though the broadcast was created with a previous version of PPT/Presentation broadcast --PPT 2000 probably) http://www.coursesbywire.com/PresBro...mo/DEFAULT.HTM is a sample.

I know on PPT 2000 stock version of Presentation Broadcast it created files and internal links that did not match from a character case pov -- so the broadcasts would not run correctly when loaded to a server which had case sensitive filenames/urls (any Unix/Linux server for instance). I am not sure if the filename case inconsistency has been corrected in current versions. Another issue with server upload is the use of FTP upload in non binary mode: http://www.coursesbywire.com/36 has information on FTP client settings causing problems. Maybe an issue here? -- Brian Sullivan Courses by Wire (http://www.coursesbywire.com) |

Whatever process you use uploading to the server should preserve all the file structure so that relative url addressing is preserved. What kind of server are you uploading to ( Unix, IIS or ...)?

Presentation Broadcast - online playback
I tried to figure this out on my own, with no luck!
- I thought maybe my filename was too long so I changed it and it didn't matter. - I tried various methods of uploading and having the filename.htm & assoc files separate and in the same folder. - I tried using the default.htm which you suggested, doesn't work either. It tries to go automatically from default.htm to the lobby.htm with an error. When I try the filename.htm it tries to open pbcast0.htm with same error. Both show "the page cannot be displayed". I also tried the filename.htm (the one created in the subfolder) and it goes to filename_frame.htm and runs the 1st page of my ppt - in ppt format, not broadcast. - It looks like the files are working as I can view most of them *individually* through my file manager while online. Has anyone experienced anything similar??

As I said in previous posts I have seen this happen in earlier versions of PPT broadcast when uploaded to a server with case sensitive names. I have also seen errors on uploads when ftp was used in automatic or text mode as opposed to binary. I assume you have verified neither of these are the problem? -- Brian Sullivan Courses by Wire (http://www.coursesbywire.com) |

Had to take a break from this for a while ;-) I'm doing this for work...not
sure about the server. Someone things Unix. Our extranet site has it's own uploading capabilities. I tried that and I also tried 2 different ftp methods (cuteftp and filezilla) - both the default way and the binary way you suggested, still errors. I don't have a site you could view because it's all internal. I have used Producer before with the initial problem being the default file being separate to the subfolders. Other than that - & everything else I've tried & you've suggested - I can't think what else to do??

Thanks for your input. Yes it is a Presentation Broadcast. I will see what
else I can try and post anything that ends up being helpful!
