keyboard support

[david]

I'm looking here -https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/mediaplayer/overview

and don't see any documentation regarding accessibility keyboard support?

Hi David,

Thank you for your question!

Basically you can navigate through the media played items via the Tab key. 

To execute a command press Enter.

You can exit the full-screen mode by pressing the Esc key.

Please let me know what other shortcuts are missing and I will log a feature request at the feedback portal for enhancement.

Hi Rumen, two issues:

1) its not clear how to get focus on the control, we assigned an accesskey="T" but  alt-t doesnt give focus (we have  a radmenu on the same page with an accesskey="M" which works fine)

2) even if you click on the control the tab key doesn't seem to work, nor does the enter

Keyboard navigation is required for 508 accessibility support. Generally the space bar is used to start/stop video and tabs are used to access the playbar features like expand, vol and CC

Hi David,

Thank you for reporting both problems.

I logged a feedback item for implementing full Keyboard support for the Media Player. Right now it is limited.

What you can do to add a slight improvement which will make the control selectable is to set

AccessKey="t" and TabIndex="1"

and the following CSS class:

           <style>
            .RadMediaPlayer :focus {
                outline: 5px dashed red;
            }
           </style>

Here are the results:

and

I also updated your Telerik points for the feedback provided.
