Video not working

[abibroom]

Fix it

[RichardTaylor]

At the moment the videos on http://www.theyworkforyou.com/video/?from=random have pictures out of sync with the sound.

Just a note, on going through all the TheyWorkForYou issues, that the audio / video sync is still way off.

User feedback "The audio and video are not in sync for me" - could we look at putting a message somewhere prominent, or figuring out what route people comonly take to the videos, and blocking it?

[dracos]

The videos are on any debate page that has a video associated with it, e.g. http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debate/?id=2010-04-06c.924.3 - I assume some are for whatever reason out of sync, but better to have that then nothing at all?

[dracos]

I'm not sure how there are any left to be matched, but if these people are coming through http://www.theyworkforyou.com/video/ (which does e.g. have things saying "if the video appears broken, let us know"), then that could be removed until such time as it can be looked at.

[MyfanwyNixon]

Ah, apologies, I thought they were all broken and it was a known issue. Probably fine to leave as is, then.

Looking at analytics, /video doesn't receive that many visits (~2,300 views in the last year out of more than 5.5 million).

User comment: "Excellent service, it would be really interesting if you could somehow tie in audio/video? Not even sure if you can source that but it would certainly be interesting to try?!" - ie, whether or not video works, I guess the next step is to make sure people know about it.

User comment: "On the machine I just tried this on the video and audio are waay out of sync."

Given that the video is no longer updated and it relies on Flash which is increasingly unsupported/unavailable I am going to close this.
