Bug: OS 4.5 Media Player sometimes aborts when initiating streaming audio

I loaded OS 4.5 on my Verizon 8130.  When attempting to initiate streaming of the Groove Salad 64 kb station at http://www.somafm.com sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I have had these various results when it did not work:
BB rebooted
Received a java language null pointer exception
Received a java error message that indicated an array index was out of range
RIM can you please fix this?  Thanks,
- Bill

I have a similar issue since upgrading to to 4.5 with my vzw 8130.   with 4.3 I was able to stream audio and then have it run in the background to read messages or address book for example all the while the audio was still playing.   Now once I get the audio streaming and back out to the main menu the media player quits.

    I have at least now managed to narrow down the problem.
    I took a guess at the packages that were causing problems, and seems I guessed right.
    By following this guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages
    I downgraded both libgl to version 7.7-1 and ati-dri to 7.7-1, and now I can X starts correctly.
    I guess I'll need to figure out how to file a bug on those packages.

  • Bug: OS 4.5 Media Player does not allow BB screen to shut off when playing streaming audio

    I updated my Verizon Pearl 8130 to OS 4.5.  Now, when streaming audio from a station such as "Groove Salad" at http://www.somafm.com, the screen does not shut off but stays on indefinitely, wasting precious battery power.  OS 4.3 Media Player did allow the screen to turn off when streaming audio.

  • WD TV Live HD media player keeps crashing when trying to play a recent *.mvk movie

    I am new to this community and I would like some help with the following issue please?
    I have a WD TV LiveHD media player with the following details:
    Firmware version     1.06.43_V
    P/N                              WDAAP0000NBK-00
    S/N                              [Deleted]
    I use this device as a standalone media player; connected to an WD external HD via USB cable and connected to a Sony TV with a HDMI cable.
    Recently I have downloaded some new movies (.mkv extension). When I navigate to the folder and select the file to play; it tries to play it, displays information of the length of the movie in hours, minutes and seconds and simultaneously crashes. It does reboot again after couple of minutes; however any additional attempt will result in the same outcome. Device has no problems with the old files (i.e. movies from 2014).
    I have performed a hard reset, deleted the .wdtv folder, etc. with no luck...
    Thank you all in advance.

  • Windows media player crash dumps when i try to play songs or use most functions i.e. drag and drop,

    I've been trying to download music from Amazon to my MP3 player.  It successfully downloads to my computer, but when I try to do anything in Windows Media Player, I get the crash dump screen.  I have, somehow, been able to download some music to the player, but now almost every time the Windows Media Player crashes.  Help!

    Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
    You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

  • Windows Media player pausing randomly when running in the background.

    Essentially I will set Windows media player to play a playlist. I will start some game. And anywhere from 5-20 minutes into the game, windows media player pauses.
    This also happens when I am browsing the web.
    Something similar happens when I am using VLC player. But instead of a pause, the volume decreases by about 60%.

    Sounds like this happens while online. If so change your properties of your network card to half duplex. Or update your drivers.  http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

  • Media Player button recognition when screen locked

    Does anyone else think that it would be useful to have access to some Media Player functions when the screen is locked? I would like to not have to unlock the screen to increase volume, skip tracks etc. I would love to see the volume and maybe camera button be usable by the Media player when the screen is locked. The volume button could adjust volume and if "double clicked" skip tracks in either direction.
    If people know how this can be achieved that would be brilliant. If, as I suspect, it may require the developers to update the application, then presumably I should suggest it to maemo.org?
    Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    The camera is usable, if you slide the lens cover back the camera launches even if the device is locked. 
    I agree media functions would be useful, but i can't see it being implemented without being problematic i.e. accidentally doing things in your pocket. I think a nice workaround is the headphones with skip track and volume adjustment on the lead

  • How would I get information from Windows Media Player to determine when a file is finished playing?

    I am creating a program to for Windows Media Player. This program will use external buttons connected to a PCI card to read when a user presses a particular button. I need the program to wait until the video is complete before doing anything else. Is there any way to read this information with a property node?
    Help will be much appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Attached is a very simply example (LV 8.2) of using that event.
    You need to head over to Microsoft to get the details on the Windows Media Player properties and methods: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd564680%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

  • A small bug in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7

    First of all, do excuse me as I have absolutely no idea where to go to report bugs in either Windows Media Player, or the Microsoft's Media Foundation filters that most probably handle the actual parsing and decoding. I see that some related bug reports
    have gotten noticed here on the Technet forums, and thus ended up writing here.
    Some time ago I helped a fellow internet user to update his encoding pipe line from quite an older version of ffmpeg and libx264 to a newer one. After some testing, I noticed him being unhappy with the result because of "black borders" around the
    video clip, but only in WMP12, not in other players. Being interested in what this was, I went on and started checking out the behavior.
    What I found out is that, with the newer ffmpeg and libx264, WMP12 was only seeing the video resolution (which was 1440x1080) at first, and resized/matched the player window according to that. Only after that did it then, within this window, actually show
    the video and apply the correct aspect ratio to it (4:3 sample/pixel aspect ratio, or 16:9 display aspect ratio). In other words, the video would play correctly, but within a 4:3 display aspect ratio video surface, leading to black bars on the top and the
    bottom.
    Now, if you manually resize the window, the black borders would of course go away. This is because they were not part of the video, but just something the player had based its window size calculations on originally. With the older ffmpeg + libx264 mix
    things would Just Work, and the auto-sizing worked.
    So I went off to look up all the data in the files that could relate to aspect ratio :) .
    [tkhd: Track Header Box] in the container has the width and height set to 1920x1080 in both files, so this is most probably ignored
    [pasp: Pixel Aspect Ratio Box] in the container is only present in the new one, and thus most probably ignored. hSpacing and vSpacing are set to 4 and 3, thus becoming 4:3 (this is the
    pixel or sample aspect ratio, so this is correct for 1440x1080 to be shown as 16:9). This information, if available, should trump the aspect ratio information in the stream (a quote from ISO/IEC 14496-12: "These
    (pasp and clap boxes) are both optional; if present, they over-ride the declarations (if any) in
    structures specific to the video codec, which structures should be examined if these boxes are absent.") .
    In the actual AVC/H.264 stream both files have aspect_ratio_idc set. The older file has the value set to 255 (Extended_SAR structure follows), and Extended_SAR then contains sar_width set to 4 and sar_height set to 3. On the newer file, on the other hand,
    we have a value of 14. Looking at the H.264 specification, value 14 is defined as "4:3 , 1440x1080 16:9 frame without horizontal overscan"
    So... Since the pasp box seems to be completely irrelevant and ignored, and since the tkhd box contains exactly the same information in both cases and thus seems to be ignored, the only thing that comes to mind is that:
    Only the information from the AVC/H.264 video stream is actually taken into mention at this stage.
    The AVC/H.264 video stream parser does not know the aspect_ratio_idc value 14.
    I haven't actually tried to change the values in the parameter set's VUI parameters around to be sure of this being the reason, but, unless WMP misunderstands what the pasp box's value means (4:3 read as the aspect ratio for the whole picture, instead of
    one sample/pixel), that's the only reason I can see this happening because of.
    A small sample mp4 file for this issue is provided at fushizen.eu/samples/wmp12_mp4/merry_christmas.mp4 . Having the automatic zoom set to 50% does help replicating it with smaller displays :) . WMP will resize its video window to a 4:3 display aspect ratio,
    and then show the 16:9 display aspect ratio content within that. This happens with both Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 7, on Windows Media Player 12.
    Now, if the issue is actually on ffmpeg's or libx264's side, feel free to note the technical problems with the sample, and I will review and then report them if I see the related specifications agreeing on the issue. So far this seems to be purely a problem
    with the related Media Foundation filters, and/or Windows Media Player 12.

    I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
    It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
    I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
    System notifications make it not save changes.  It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders.  Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
    or date.  It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason.  Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes.  Often it has not.
    This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
    New service pack please.

  • N86 - media player Bug ?

    Hi,
    while my media player is on pause, after receiving a call and closing it, then media player start playing.
    Is it a bug or it can be solve with settings?

    Normally the media player will pause when you receive a call and the duration depends on how long the call would be, and technically it's not a bug. It automatically plays and resumes after you end the call to where were you watching or listening with a fade in effect to the sound.

  • Since loading Firefox I can no longer access video replays on Windows Media Player. I get a message saying the material has downloaded but that it can't be played for reasons that are not correct

    I have been playing the video replays from Lone Star Park for years with no problem. I loaded Mozilla Firefox and now I can no longer access the replays. I get a message that data downloaded,Windows Media Player opens,but when I try to download, I get a message saying the video cannot be played. This is very important and I am thinking of removing Mozilla!

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I covert downloaded (on MacBook Air) media files to play on a western digital media player?

    Would be great if someone could give me a hand, very frustrated!
    Anything I have downloaded on my MacBook Air I have not been able to put on my Western Digital Media Player.  The media player is recognised when it's plugged in to the Mac but I'm not given the ability to move any files or place any new files on the media player.
    I have also tried saving movie files to a USB and then tried using my work PC to place them on the media player, this works - but the file format won't play.
    Thanks!

    You also need to determine what kind of DVDs your player supports.  My player will play discs with image files on it.  Some players will even play files in mp4 format.  If yours will only strictly play DVDs in DVD format then you have to author them with a tool such as iDVD (no longer sold).
    If you are playing these at home you might see if you can ouptu video straight to the video device from your MBA.

  • Apple TV as a media player and karaoke

    I am thinking to get one as my media player and karaoke, can I switch audio from stereo to left or right mono? What format does it play? Quicktime only? Thanks

    Here are the specs you asked for...
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    As far as playing only the left or right, you'll have to have your audio system or TV take care of that balance, assuming you don't want to unplug anything.

    Hi Anni,
    Welcome to  discussions
    Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
    You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
    Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
    Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
    Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
    Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
    Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
    Can you view Youtube & google vids?
    • If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
    the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
    If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
    Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
    Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
    • Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
    Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
    annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
    Good luck,
