• Not all shortcuts are displayed in the menu items. They are active though. (i.e. open URL: CTRL+U).

open the attached SMIL file in ambulant (standalone) and wait for it to crash. neither the output nor stack trace was very informative.

the SMIL file contains a sequence of pars, each containing only a text element. the dur attribute of the outermost seq was removed, but it made no difference.

the file sample is at:

http://amisproject.org/temp/amis_bug_157.zip

Make sure C++ code style conventions are followed. Add logging, remove trace wherever not necessary. Remove unused source code.

Waiting for a copy from Olaf.

add navlists to view menu

Press speed-up 3 or more times and see that pressing slow-down as many times as possible does not return the speed back to 1.0. Tested on XP in debug mode.

AmisCore needs to be able to have only SearchNext and SearchPrevious as public text searching functions. The initial search (SearchFullText) to establish criteria and position needs to be absorbed into the other functions.

next/previous page/phrase/section should be enabled or disabled according to the book state

AMIS seems to crash after playing a pipeline-generated book (zed book with mp3s) for a short time. The error given isn't traceable through the call stack but looks something like "HEAP xxxxxx modified after it was freed".

Need to re-test with window eyes. Last time we checked, it made AMIS hang.

no dialog definition for Open URL in AccessibleUi.xml

1. Open the AMIS help file (i.e. the Pipeline-generated audio-only one)
2. click on a URL (i.e. the AMIS website) => the embedded browser displays the page correctly
3. click on an item of the TOC (left pane) => the browser widget is stuck with the webpage, it's impossible to get back to normal book playback

AMIS running under Vista home premium sp1 has its "add bookmark" button disabled. The menu item is enabled though.

HTML display still shows old book's content.

If the book has no stylesheet, AMIS should apply one, but this feature is broken

Re-add Language pack support

Here is the recipe:

1. Open the book at http://amisproject.org/temp/Skill_with_People_shortened.zip
2. Go to the pages tab
3. Choose page 2
4. The next thing you will hear will be the phrase after the page 2 announcement. You never hear "page 2" itself.

What seems to be happening:

1. The audio file seek times are correct.
2. Ambulant does indeed try to go to the correct node.
3. You can even hear it play a little snippet of the correct part of the audio file if you are stepping through the code.
4. Then it tries to seek forward to the next node's start time. This is why the phrase after "page 2" is heard, but never "page 2" itself.

SEARCH_CD, READING_OPTIONS, and TXT_STYLE dialogs are incomplete

Maybe there are other actions too -- these are what I notice causing hanging the most. To be discovered: does it also happen in release mode?

steps:

1. enter a search path
2. press enter
3. AMIS tries to automatically load from the list

it should be

1. enter a search path
2. press enter
3. browse the list with the arrow keys
4. press enter again to choose your selection

Somehow, the first "enter" keypress is getting passed through.

Recipe:

1. Help->Contents
2. Then open another book from disk
3. AMIS gets very confused

What's happening is that when the help contents are closed, AMIS tries to load your most recently-read book. However, when you try to open a book yourself, or if you didn't have a book open before you opened help, then weird stuff happens.

Text Style Dialog self-voicing says only OK / CANCEL buttons

The title-getting routines don't work with protected books (just noticed now that the pdtb plugin is working again).

ttsplayer::instanceone does not seem to work very well when tts player two is implemented.

tts player two is instantiated once when amis starts.

does the ttsplayer have to be re-created and destroyed each time it is used?

even if a book has pages, the next/previous page controls aren't highlighted as soon as the book is opened. this was observed with a save-as-daisy generated book.

Note that AMIS has no trouble supporting Thai encoding; however, to make sure it works, an alias to TIS-620 must be added to the registry.

The installer should prompt the user to ask if they want to make this change.

Browse button doesn't work in "Search for books" dialog

1. Download readhowyouwant's Alice in Wonderland book
2. Click a section or choose a link (far down = slower)
3. Watch it hang

The problem is that ambulant's goto_node function is very slow when dealing with large numbers of nodes. Currently investigating this.

select TTS based on language of book/UI. or take an educated guess.

MmView::SetStatusUpdate crashes if things change in rapid succession.

see if problems from home premium also exist on vista ultimate

The page style submenu and the page style button is not available under vista home premium.

Todo: check if the css files were installed properly.

Some books cannot be opened when there are Japanese characters in the path. For those books which can be opened, the HTML display shows nothing.

Fill in relevant text from accessible UI xml file to ensure localization

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build AMIS in release or debug mode
2. Open "Mountains_skip"
3. Go to the chapter "...and getting down"
4. Press "previous phrase" (left arrow) three times fast

The last message in the ambulant debug logfile (or output window) will be inside goto_node (or in one of the functions it calls).

• implement (these commands are always available)
  • ID_AMIS_FOCUS_ON_SIDEBAR
  • ID_AMIS_TOGGLE_AUDIO_SELFVOICING_PLAYBACK
• implement (available when a book is open)
  • ID_AMIS_FOCUS_ON_TEXT
  • ID_AMIS_RESET_HIGHLIGHT_COLORS
  • ID_AMIS_TOGGLE_AUDIO_CONTENT_PLAYBACK

Prepare the following as full-text, full-audio books:

• Help contents (including a short intro about AMIS)
• Keyboard shortcuts (should be auto-generated from localization db)

In order to read books with TTS, it is necessary to disable audio element rendering. However, under ordinary circumstances, Ambulant would speed through the book. We want it to stop at each phrase.

Another thing we want is to have Ambulant skip audio nodes in case TTS rendering is taking over. There are situations in which the user would prefer to use TTS instead of the book's pre-recorded audio.

There are 2 audio preferences saved in amisPrefs.xml: tts-volume-pct and audio-volume-pct. The latter, audio-volume-pct, is used to save the state of both the self-voicing and ambulant book playback volumes. However, the effect of this setting is different on each audio player -- a value of, say, 55 in the amisPrefs file results in the book playback volume being reasonable and the self-voicing audio playback being barely heard.

It crashes the first time you run it but will be ok after that

• ctrl + n to set focus on sidebar
• arrow keys should move around the list views

Timescale audio does not work on Vista Home Premium SP1. Neither the self-voicing nor the book audio could be made faster. This OS uses DirectX 10.

re-add the dialog, the feature, and the accessible UI xml data

1. Click a page number in the sidebar
2. This crashes in debug mode
3. Or skips the page announcement entirely in release mode

The common feature is that the page numbers are at the ends of the SMIL files. Example file attached.

playback doesn't start automatically if you navigate by phrase while in a paused state

Noticed in both Vista HP and Ultimate:

Press Speed-up four times
It works
Press speed-down four times
After each time, it works.
Then it crashes soon after the fourth press.

In fact, for Vista Ultimate, you only need to press three times up, three times down, then it crashes.

Page Style sub menu is largely incomplete and troublesome (overlaps the play menu)

The current algorithm scans the entire fileset to build a table of linkback IDs. This is very slow for large books. We should cache data instead.
