Issue with synchronization and section headings in the middle of a verse

[David_Fetrow]

I’m experiencing an issue with text-audio synchronization when there is a section heading placed in the middle of a verse.

In the web (PWA) version, the highlighting stops completely when it reaches that section heading. Here’s an example (section head occurs at John 16:4):

https://www.scriptureearth.org/data/mxt/sab/mxt/mxt-04-JHN-016.html

In the Android app, after reading and highlighting the section heading, it goes back to the beginning of the verse, but it does eventually seem to get back on track.

Has anyone else experienced this and/or discovered a fix?

Thanks,
David

There is a long discussion about this general problem here:

How to handle timing files for verses numbers already split

I have a SAB audio synchronization project where there is already a split verse in the text, i.e.: \c 8 \nb \v 1a Wo Sool onamaŋ soo ti ɗoŋ îide Etiyeŋ me. \s Sool ti ɗoŋ ogiyso ti suma kʼIsa \p \v 1b A onniyo gettiyo batum ɗuwo an diʼn iise dabirsa ɓaadaŋ ki ɗoŋ ogiyso ti suma kʼIsa a Zeruzalem. Kane pay geŋ an di-tiipe kʼadda siiɗo Ziide ti Samari, a Zeruzalem i dʼuupe ɗoŋ zina kʼIsa siidaŋ. \v 2 Ɗoŋ i seeɗu SAB/Aeneas divided the verses like this: 1a|Wo Sool onamang soo ti s1|Sool ti d…

Not specific to PWA, but you may be able to learn something useful. There is another thread as well with related info:

Audio sync with \v 1a, \s \v 1b

I’m investigating a bug with someone from Worldteam on the Oroko Scripture App. Acts 8:1 has a subtitle in the middle of it. It seems that Aeneas properly divides the audio, but phrase parsing fails to letter the segments consecutively. Thus the highlighting sync fails in the Builder and the App. \v 1a Sɔɗi amokoa ɗo o maboɗoeɗi ime. \s Sɔɗi Atatiɗɛ Ba-Baɗubɛ \p \v 1b Nga bunya bone, botikiɗisɛ wa bokɔɗi wa ɗitengɛnɛ bato ba chɔchi waaboteɛ o Jerusalem. Bato ba chɔchi bɔ basusu baafangeɛ o b…

Hope you can learn something useful there…

I’ve learned something very important from this thread. I wish I can rewrite my apps again - not possible though - but I’ll try to edit some in subsequent updates. I appreciate all the contributors.
