Replay Button on Seekbar Not Working
Hi. A client has come back to me to note that the replay button on the right side of the seekbar doesn't work. I've checked it on both the Flash and HTML5 versions. I also can't find any triggers that specify the replay button, when pushed, should replay the audio for the slide. Can you help?
This helped. I just needed to set the slide state to reset to initial state. Appreciate the help!
I fully agree!! This feature needs to be addressed and updated ASAP!! The "replay/rewind" button should function as that - and not be dependent on the slide property....!! I really hope Articulate addresses this soon - you can see all the posts on this issue from years ago!!!
Hi Daniel,
Still no changes to this behavior, which is detailed in this article. I've added your voice to the open Feature Request that we have for the improvement of this feature. Here's a quick look at how we manage feature requests for your reference.
Thanks, Joe! I really do hope Articulate hears us.
Morning Joe,
Can you please explain to me why this needs to be submitted as a feature request when it is clearly a bug in the software? Its crazy to think this has been going on for so long.
Can you also explain why rolling out new features is a higher priority to fixing known software bugs?
Thanks
OllieI would also like to add my vote to adding this feature, the way it is designed now can be confusing to learners since when you pause the timeline in the middle of the audio because you missed something, you can't replay the part you missed, it just starts from where it was paused and now the audio is out of sync with the rest of the slide interactions.
This is a frustrating issue because as you know, users are accustomed to having that functionality. When it does not work as they anticipate it to, it causes frustration on the part of the user, and on the part of the developer who has tried to ensure a good user experience. Please start making long standing issues like this a priority to correct. This should be addressed and quickly.
Agree we just ran into this with another client (it has also happened in the past). Please make the replay button replay the slide. It doesn't have to change any states or variables, or anything - just replay the slide.
Basically, all the button needs is a special "replay trigger" that replays the slide, regardless if it was set to "Resume Saved State" or "Restore Initial State".
Without being told to "do it yourself", how hard can it be?
It's like how the Previous Slide trigger only goes back to the last seen slide, and not the previous slide in the scene's chronological order. If the Next Slide works as intended, the Previous Slide trigger should do the same in reverse. Right now, your learners can screw up the navigation if they ever use the menu.
I also need to use the player's replay button to replay slides set to Resume Saved State. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to use the replay button in the player instead of having to create a custom button that replays the slide.
Also, please allow us to select the seek bar and replay button separately. I don't always want to show both, especially if the reply button doesn't always work.
I did submit a feature request.
I’m mean if the button is not a replay button maybe think about using a different icon – would help lessen the confusion for learners. Would not be a great fix – since replaying slides seems like an essential feature.
So. How are we still asking for this?
Well let’s do it again…
“Thank you for taking time to tell us what features you'd like to see on our feature roadmap. Your input is very valuable to us.“
Sure does not feel like it, considering how long this request has been here. (and sadly it’s not the only one).+1! Seems ridiculous. The replay button appears broken whenever this happens, which isn't a good look.
+1. Add. Push...
PS: There are many others companies that offer good content tools (with buttons that do what they should)
