some pages' and sections' problem with AMIS

AMIS

Hi, I got some problem playing audio DTBs with AMIS. I have created audio DTBs in MyStudio PC, and there are some problems when the DTBs're played with AMIS. Some DTBs are played well with AMIS, but some can't go to next page or next section. For example, at the beginning I could play from section to section with pressing "up" or "down" until the section "5". When I was in section 5, I could not go to next section, section 6, but the audio is still playing. And when I pressed "up" to go back to previous section, it worked. It also had some similar problems with "page". At beginning, it wored well from page to page, until I was at , for example, page 24. When I press ctrl+left at page 24, it didn't work, and when I press ctrl+right trying to back to previous page, it went to the next page. Or when I press ctrl+left, it go from page 24 to page 28. Some DTBs work well with AMIS, and some have the forward problems. And they all work well with TPB Reader. It is so strange and mess me up.

Thank you for the detailed

Thank you for the detailed report. Do you know if your books validate? You can check by using the Pipeline (http://www.daisy.org/projects/pipeline/) . If it validates, then it would be great if you could share a copy with me so that I could find out what's going on with AMIS. You can contact me by email: marisa.demeglio [at] gmail.com

How to use the Pipeline to validate

Hi, Marisa, thank you for replying. Could you tell me how to use the Pipeline to validate? The folowings are my steps and I don't know if I do it right. 1.new Pipeline job 2.verify -> Daisy 2.02 DTB Light Validator 3. browse my ncc.html file After these steps, I got one error message: "bad value for attribute "content" at line 27, column 54 in file ncc.html" What does this means?

It means there's something

It means there's something wrong with whatever is on line 27 of ncc.html. I'm going to guess that it is a metadata element that looks something like this: <meta name="ncc:something" content="something is wrong with the data here"/ > Things that can go wrong are unescaped HTML character entities or unclosed quotes on the attribute itself. What does line 27 say in your ncc.html file?

The line 27 couldn't be wrong

The line 27 is "< meta name="ncc:multimediaType" content="audioNCC"/ >". How could it be wrong? I guess I really need to mail you a copy of my DTBs. Something is strang that the problems happened with AMIS 3.0 and it seemed work well with AMIS 2.6.

Yes, feel free to mail me a copy of your book if it's under 25MB. You might also ask on the Pipeline forum why the validation is failing. My email address is marisa.demeglio [at] gmail.com.

By the way, there is another

By the way, there is another DAISY 2.02 validator available here: http://code.google.com/p/daisytools/downloads/list I wasn't sure what its status was, so I didn't mention it at first, but I've checked with the project manager and he told me it is the formal validator that we should use for 2.02 books. Maybe you'll find out more about your book by using it.
