oxford owl

[acaunter]

Has anyone had any problems with playing ebooks on Oxford Owl website. We have a laptop that plays the books when accessed from home but when in school there is no sound. Really random cant think why as only difference is the internet access. Any thoughts?

I've just been called out for the same issue. None of our computers will play the sound for the books on this website. Did you resolve this in the end?

 

We use South West Grid For Learning (SWGFL) for our filtering. That often causes issues

Just been in contact with SEGfL about this, they will look into it, ref: 3987167 if anyone else wants to get in touch with them about it.

 

This is similar to http://www.edugeek.net/forums/internet-related-filtering-firewall/78313-custom-media-player-poetryarchive-org-not-working.html where poetryarchive.org used port 1935 for their audio. Asking SEGfL/SWGfL to unblock the port fixed the problem.
