thanks, please can you load one of the African languages - Zulu or whatever else is available - that is the test - we can speak English and Afrikaans so they wanted to check if its going to work with a different language - thanks

I'm still working on the page / timestamp synchronization. So clicking on pages without timestamps will restart the audio.

no probs - also I know you are not feeling well so I made the deadline today but you can work on this tomorrow too, I am out tomorrow and will only share with the client on Thursday. If you can get it all wrapped up tomorrow to handover for a test on Thursday morning that would be awesome. Also, Ian can confirm but I would imagine it needs to work the way it is going to work going forward so when I page, the audio plays in line with that -
Ian
please let me know how you see the test coming together ? Thanks so much

for the test we should have the full functionality available:
Start playing the audio when the user clicks on a forward or back button
Play the audio for the relevant page, then pause the audio
When the user clicks to the next page, play the relevant audio snippet
For our purposes it's nice to see the timestamps at the bottom. We don't need to remove this for the client's testing.

! It looks a bit glitchy to me, but I'm not sure whether the issue is the actual timestamps or the code. I'll try upload timestamps for a new book and let you know what I see.

Ok, I think we're almost there

. This is what I found:
The timestamps work perfectly if the user keeps on paging until the end
When I page back and forth a couple of times, the audio sometimes stops in the middle of reading a page.
The last page does not play any audio. You'll need a condition in your function that removes the timeout if there isn't a value for the next timestamp.

I have added checks for the last pages and for pages that do not have timestamps. I have not looked at the bug that causes the audio to stop playing halfway through a clip when navigating back and forth through pages. I also see that the timestamps I added for testing were not done correctly. I'm going to update the timestamps so I can test the latest changes correctly, then work on the audio bug

Hey

I'm still struggling with these timestamps. Meeting with Ian at 15:00
The audio is very janky when paging. Especially when paging too fast.

Hey

I have just pushed my latest changes for shine. The audio is still jumpy when scrolling through the slider too fast, but Ian said I should sent it your way for testing in the meantime. Also note that when you add timestamps, if you still have the field selected and you scroll on the mouse it increments the values. So things get thrown out of wack. I'll update the timestamps I broke now quick for the zulu book
