Jason Grigsby reported a problem in SlideShare on May 27, 2008 17:25:

Embedded slideshows cause errors because of forbidden files on Amazon S3 service.

After embedding my presentation here:
http://userfirstweb.com/255/slideshow...

I noticed that the page was returning four errors. Those errors are forbidden files being referenced from the Amazon S3 service. The files are:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/crossdomain.xml
http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare-au...
http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare-au...
http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare-au...

These files show up as errors in Safari. I'm seeing the same issue on another embedded slideshow here:
http://www.cloudfour.com/31/mobile-ts...

Although it only has one error which I suspect is because it does have an audio file whereas the first example I gave does not.

All of the slideshows are currently private in my account. My account is grigs. I've tested several different recording versions of the mp3 to try to see if the file size was the issue. None of them are working.

Here are the links:

The first one is now at 13 hours of processing.

Thats bad. I apologize. Can you post a url to the slideshow in question so that I can take a look?

Taking over seven hours to create a slidecast

I provided a link to an mp3 file to associate with my slides. The page has told me that the url is being processed. It has taken over seven hours so far to process the file.

There is no way to abort this process or to try a new file. As far as I can tell, I'm going to have to abandon all of the work I've done on this slide (adding comments to each slide containing presenter notes) and start over.

Can anyone help fix this issue? I've submitted support feedback as well, but I was hopeful that maybe I was missing some way to abort this that others had seen.
