Video Links Not Working - Digital Subscription

[BigTallV]

Hello.

I purchased NPhoto at a magazine shop while travelling to Ottawa, ON. I really enjoyed the magazine and opted to subscribe to the digital download through the Zinio store. I have the Reader app successfully installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (running Andriod) as well as on my Windows 7 notebook. Any updates to the app have been downloaded and installed whenever prompted.

The Zinio reader works quite well, however there appears to be no functional method for watching the Nikon Skills videos. The links, which show up as a light blue underscore in the Vinio reader, to other referenced pages within the magazine work well as do the links to www.nphotomag.com or other such web site links embedded in the digital download version of the magazine.

Am I missing something? There is a callout/annotation that says "Press this button!" and an arrow pointing to a graphic that says "WATCH OUR VIDEO!". Simple right? Not so much, as that just does not work from within the Zinio reader.

I would simply like to be able to playback the videos. It would be even better if one could download the videos for offline playback, which is what I had envisioned when subscribing as I frequently use my tablet in an offline manner while commuting by regional train. I understand that the cover attachment DVD is not available for download, though *surely* the actual videos of themselves must be available somehow. Can anyone help me out please?

Do I need to borrow my children's iPhone in order to watch these videos? When I looked on YouTube, there only seems to be 1 video posted to the N-Photo channel. Not much luck there either.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Other posts seem to identify they too can't play the videos, but no reference to a solution is within those threads. I hope that this shortcoming of an otherwise fine magazine can get fixed. Can any moderators in the forums or staff/editors at NPhoto shed some light on this?

Regards,

Sorry about the problems we have had with video links on Zinio for Issue 8...

The good news is that you can see all the videos by going to the following YouTube playlist:

We are aiming to get normal service back for Zinio readers by Issue 9

Apologies again for this.

Hi. Many thanks for your reply Rod. It's reassuring to know that there is awareness of the problem and action is being taken. The YouTube link you've provided is nice to have in the interim.

Could you advise if this problem was occurring in the older issues of the magazine? If so, are similar YouTube channels or links available for them as well? My plan is to obtain the back-issues as time (and my spare change) permits. I'd like to go through the videos as well from the respective back-issues.

Again, thanks for getting back to me. I'm enjoying the magazine thus far, keep up the good work NPhoto!

Thank you. I'd stumbled across that but just didn't get back to following up here with another post about it. The videos distracted me I guess. LOL
