Greetings to the community at Chiriqui.Life. I am the person who took, edited, encoded, and published the video of the U.S. Embassy Boquete Citizen Liaison Volunteers (CLVS) Report on March 5, 2019. Many of you will recall that upon that video’s release, Apple users, particularly those with iPads and iPhones, experienced frustration trying to view the Report. I apologize for my delay in providing support to those inconvenienced, but I am an old guy and learned long ago that knee jerk reactions are usually imprudent. So, what caused the problems? Most browsers running under any operating system, such as Apple iOS and Windows, keep copies on your device of the web pages you visit. This is called “caching” and helps to speed up your surfing should you wish to review a page you have previously visited and to reduce the server’s load. If you like, you can learn more about caching here. The next time cache failure rears its ugly head, try this: How to clear cache in Safari for iOS Users How to clear cache in Edge for Windows How to clear cache in Chrome for Windows How to clear cache in Chrome for Android Of course, I am aware that it is easier to get frustrated, angry, and point fingers. However, since you are going to use a computer, controlling the underlying technology will make your experience more enjoyable. To that end, I hope the above provides the tools you need. In closing, contrary to the disparaging declarations made by some contributors and their enabler(s) in this thread, those involved with the video are neither incompetent nor ignorant concerning matters of the workings of the World Wide Web and its technologies. The web developer works every day in the United States consulting and designing for corporations, including Fortune 500 companies. Some of his clients and sites would be known to many of you. In fact, the volunteers who published the subject video have more than enough experience to fully understand that no good deed goes unpunished and that the challenge was/is a function of Safari and the Apple products on which it runs. The TV Chiriqui web site does not use Java, precisely because it is not well supported. A web site’s ability to adjust to devices of varying size and to different browsers is known as being “responsive”. The TV Chiriqui site is responsive. TV Chiriqui appreciates your viewership! I hope you will take a moment to consider other TV Chiriqui content. Unlike some expat-focused web sites, the programming is provided to the community free of charge, opinion, advertisements and without request for donations or support of any kind. This link will take you to TV Chiriqui. If you prefer, the TV Chiriquí YouTube Channel offers many of the same videos. Please Note: TV Chiriqui uses YouTube to serve its videos. Like most video providers, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, YouTube keeps track of your progress should you start, but not finish watching a video. So, if you have partially watched a video streamed by YouTube, it will pick up where you left off upon your return. To restart the video from the beginning, click the extreme left of the timeline at the bottom of the video frame.
