I'm not able to reproduce this on the Notch8 staging site or in local dev, also not seeing this as an issue on the production site.

Perhaps it is an issue with understanding how it works.

• Turn autoscroll on
• Media must have timestamps
• When the player gets to a timestamp, the transcript window will jump to that timestamp.

When the timestamps are far apart, it appears as if the window isn't scrolling, but it is just waiting to get to the next timestamp.

Not currently reproducible. T-Kay will continue to look into this and for some additional examples before determining if this should be closed.

Able to reproduce this on interviews with pdf transcripts.

Currently the Media Player only uses the xml transcript timestamps for the autoscrolling feature.

In order to get this working for pdf transcripts we would need to gather the timestamps data and format in a similar way.
