For the last few months I have been bothered that I couldn't get a media player object to work on our church's media page except for in IE. And I've been kicking around the idea of a site redesign. Therefore...

I have spent the last three hours trying to get the scripts on this O'Reilly page to work with the sermons. I can't code JavaScript at all, so I hoped that I could just copy the scripts and make them work. Let it suffice to say that I never got close.

So, I gave up. I just put in a flash based player. I guess it works, but there is no volume control and I don't think you can skip ahead until it has completely buffered, but it should work on virtually every computer.

My concern is the "chipmunk effect" that some computers apparently experience. Try out one of the files and let me know if you have any issues. Also I'll accept any help or feedback anyone wants to give.

<update> Apparently i should have just read the site i got the player from. It explained the chipmunk problem. It has to do with the bitrate I encode at. I've been encoding at 48kbps. (No need to go higher for just voice and I can save bandwidth.) I'll need to change it</update>
