The java applet seems to behave just fine (recording and playback work) but when I upload the result, the "Uploading..." message is displayed and it never completes.  I waited about 20 minutes.  Suggest that you add a progress meter or some way to confirm that the upload is happening.  Also suggest you add the capability to save the zip file locally so that the recordings are not lost and can be sent it manually.

Hi mdeisher,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you... I only got you email today (I've done quite a few upgrades (O/S and CMS) in the past few weeks and it seemed to have caused some problems with SendMail...)

>Suggest that you add a progress meter or some way to confirm that the

>upload is happening.

The Speech submission app actually has a progress meter (the thin rectangle just above ""For more information on Copyright and GPL...") with a moving indicator that tells you how much of the file has uploaded.

>Also suggest you add the capability to save the zip file locally so that

>the recordings are not lost and can be sent it manually.

The files are saved in your /tmp directory... if Java terminated abnormally, it should still be there (sort the files by date ...).

If you can display the Java console (which is an addon to FireFox) please paste the output of another attempt to upload a file with the SpeechSubmission app - just put test-yourusername as the Username and record short clips of silence, click upload.

thanks,

Ken

OK.  Here's the Java console output:

Hi mdeisher,

I've just tested the app with on Windows XP SP1 with this version of Java:

  Java Plug-in 1.6.0_07
  Using JRE version 1.6.0_07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

And it seems to be uploading OK...

Are you using Windows Vista? Is your firewall blocking the upload somehow?

Ken

Thanks!  I upgraded to the same version of the JRE as you.  But the UploadManager still generates a "NullPointerException".  I am behind a corporate firewall but I don't know how to determine whether or not it is blocking the upload.  Even if it was blocking the upload, a null pointer exception does not seem like proper applet behavior.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your help on this...

>seem like proper applet behavior.

Agree, but I like to try to eliminate all possibilities before digging into the code...

>I am behind a corporate firewall but I don't know how to determine

>whether or not it is blocking the upload.

Are you also using a proxy server?  The VoxForge SpeechSubmission app uses Postlet code on the client and server end... they say that if you are behind a proxy server, you should do this:

For users behind a proxy server, you need to ensure that Java is correctly set up on your machine.

To set the proxy server for your JRE, assuming you're using the SUN JRE, then do the following steps:

  • Open the JRE control panel. On windows this is located in the system control panel under Java (Start -> Control Panel -> Java - If this isn't visible, ensure you're using "Classic View", and not "Category View"). ...
  • Click the "General" tab, and then click the "Network Settings..." button. Enter the proxy settings as stipulated by your local systenm administrator
  • Restart your web browser.
  • Postlet will now use the proxy connection settings that you have specified.

 

Can you get the example application on the postlet site to work (i.e. upload a test file to the postlet server)?

thanks,

Ken

Forget trying the example application on the postlet site, I can't get it to work on either Fedora 9 or Windows XP... not sure what the problem is.

We had some similar problems with the speech submission app using a Thomson router which were never resolved... In that case, the Java console message said:

Editing the proxy settings in the Java control panel did the trick!  Now I can upload.  I still have two zip files from previous sessions that I would like to upload manually.  How can I do that?  This web page http://www.voxforge.org/home/uploads/ftp-submissions is not helpful at all.

Thanks!!!

Hi Mike,

>Editing the proxy settings in the Java control panel did the trick!

Excellent... thanks for the help on this!

>I still have two zip files from previous sessions that I would like to

>upload manually.  How can I do that?

Just upload them as an attachment in a post to the English Forum on the Listen page (it will accept anything less than 50meg). 

> This web page http://www.voxforge.org/home/uploads

>/ftp-submissions is not helpful at all.

Sorry about that... the link is broken and I have to reconstruct the page from backup (I did some house cleaning a while back and deleted the original "container" object that held that page.  WebGUI has a nice feature that will keep a link to an object, even if it is in the trash, with the assumption that you will fix the link before the monthly trash purge runs - after which it is gone forever... ).

thanks again,

Ken
