Access FLV metadata from Spark VideoPlayer

Is there any way to access FLV metada in Spark VideoPlayer? There was metadataReceived event in past. But now there is no any event for metadata.
Thank you

I don't know PHP, but if PH can introspect the file and send
that data to Flash in an XML format, then yes, you can do what you
are asking. The key is PHP getting the data and then formatting it
so that Flash can consume it.
good luck!

Access custom metadata from another plugin

I was wondering if it would be possible to access the custom metadata from one plugin from another plugin.
I know you use the _PLUGIN object when you read or write the metadata with a plugin.Is there any way to pass the varible to another plugin, maybe stored in a xml or text file in the modules folder? I also see where you can use the "unique identifying string" or plugin.id. Is this id differant for every installation of Lightroom?

Allen, I'm pretty sure the answer is no - you can't access another plug-in's custom fields.
I'm sure I have read this limitation somewhere - even if I can't now see it stated explicitly in the documentation. If anything, the docs imply getPropertyForPlugin can do so by specifying the LrToolkitIdentifier value (which you may be able to pass as a preference). So this doesn't work:
getData = photo:getPropertyForPlugin("uk.co.beardsworth.missing", jbMissing )
It is an important point though that one plug-in should be able to access another's custom fields. Obviously one can think of many ordinary circumstances where it would be handy, but I'm more worried about the longer term DAM viability of custom metadata. Let's say I decided to release a plug-in based around custom fields and users entered metadata which had some value to them - whether that's just input time or business data (eg client or agency account number). Now move on to LR3 and the plug-in no longer works - I've disappeared, driven mad by SDK changes, or you're unwilling to pay my extortionate plug-in upgrade fee.
Now what happens to that valuable metadata? The data is still in the database but you can't read it because the original plug-in's unavailable, and Adobe's built-in "All" Plugin Metadata panel only shows data from enabled plug-ins. It's not in the XMP either. You're stuffed - unless you're resourceful enough to reverse engineer chunks of the plug-in. Assuming that I encrypted my plug-in's code, that means you're going to have to dig around the SQL to figure out my plug-in's ID and its field names. Only then can you create a plug-in to rescue your custom data. And you've got to hope to hell that my plug-in didn't encrypt or obscure the values you entered.
For me what this shows is
1) You're taking a big risk if you store valuable custom metadata - if you can't sort it out yourself, should you do it?
2) You should ensure any plug-in with custom metadata stores its field definitions in unencrypted files
3) The All Plug-in Metadata panel needs to show all plug-in metadata
4) The SDK should allow you to get custom metadata from other plug-ins
4) Custom fields should be mapped to XMP
Short answer - No.

Access CDF MetaData from Region Template

How can I access the MetaData of a CDF from the Region Template?
I have read that I can use DOC_INFO, but this does not seem to work. I tried:
DOC_INFO.dDocAccount and got nothing.
I tried:
executeService("DOC_INFO")
DOC_INFO.dDocAccount
Thank you in advance for any help.

MetaData from FLV - AS3

I am having trouble accessing the metadata from an flv on FMS 2.0. My script is ignoring my onMetaData function ever since I switched from a local FLV (which worked fine) to accessing the FLV using RTMP. This makes me think that I need to do something different with remote videos. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks for the tip, but this article discusses Excel-ODBC connection and my issue is with MS Access.
My next try was to upgrade my database to 11.1.0.7 and now I'm getting a more detailed message when clicking on the "table" node in the import metadata wizard:
<ol><li>MS Office Database Module doesn't find the table 'ALL_SNAPSHOTS'</li>
<li>ORA-28506: parse error in data dictionary translation for an internal reference stored in sys.hs_all_dd</li>
<li>ORA-28559: FDS_CLASS_NAME is ODBC11.1.0.7.0_0006, FDS_INST_NAME is dg4odbc</li>
</ol>
Very strange ! Why does OWB ask a ODBC source.for ALL_SNAPSHOT. But even when selecting manually ALL_TABLES I'm getting an error. Btw, the ALL_SNAPSHOTS entry in HS_ALL_DD is empty.
So, I would like to get a statement if it's possible to read Access metadata at all. I found several examples with Excel in the Internet, but no mention of MS Access.
It's quite urgent because I have to demonstrate OWB to a customer on coming Friday and one of his sources is a MS Access database.
And I don't like to promise features which I can't deliver !!

Accessing MetaData from Bex - Document Links?

Hello experts,
This is a two part question.
We are interested in BW's ability to provide metadata access to report users. We are familiar with the Metadata Repository in the Admin Workbench but this will not be accessible to the majority or report users.
Issue 1: Is there a way to access BW metadata from the Bex report? If not what possible workarounds can you suggest?
One workaround that was suggested was to create a document link within the Bex report to access our own technical specifications.
Issue 2: Is it possible to create a document link for a Bex report? If so how? Is there more flexibility to access metadata via Web Reporting?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adam

Elaborating on point 2 -
You can attach a document to the BEx query. This can be done in properties section of the query. You can also attach documents per characteristic in AWB. Whichever of the above suits your requirements.
I am not sure what exactly you mean by "...more flexibility to access metadata via Web Reporting?". It is possible for documents to be available over an HTTP content server.

Flv access to MetaData.. via php ?

Is there a way to runtime reading / access MetaData from a
php script so i can from the file it self get stuff like
videodatarate / audiodatarate / framerate / width and height ..

that data to Flash in an XML format, then yes, you can do what you

Metadata from MS Access

Hi,
is it possible to read metadata from an MS Access (2007) database ? I have a successfully tested location, but when trying to read tables in the metadata import wizard the hourglass cursor hangs on the tables node. It's possible to cancel and to continue working. Documentation says that's possible to read metadata from Excel, so it should be possible to Access as well. I experimented with 2 locations: one defined via host:port:sid, the other via database link, both wit the same negative result.
some ideas ?
regards
Thomas

Current frame for Spark VideoPlayer

Hi all,
I've been playing with the Spark VideoPlayer but can't find a way to get the playhead's frame position.
The playhead's time is fine, but that only works with seconds and I need to get the exact timecode.
Since I know the framerate and duration from the metadata I figured I should be able to calculate the milliseconds if I know what frame the head is on...
Or does anyone know another way to get the exact timecode?
Thanks
Skip

Never mind Ryan, I got it to work with the playhead now as well. Thanks for the advise.
Now I'm only running into a problem with the actual playheadtime.
I've got a 6 seconds clip that's played in the videoplayer and stops at the last frame.
The metatdata duration value is always 6 which is correct, but the playheadtime at the last frame varies between 5.9999 and 6.1.
Most of the time it's correct and stops at 6, but it doesn't seem to be reliable.
Do you know a workaround for that as well?
Thanks

Spark VideoPlayer issue with streaming in iOS Devices

Hi,
I’m working in a mobile application using Flex which needs playing remote videos.
So, we are having some problems with the streaming of FLV videos in iOS devices. When we play a streaming video on iPhone or iPad, after some time (about 1 minute), the application just crashes and closes.
We are using:
- FLV video format;
- Flex 4.5.1;
- Flash Media Server 3;
- Spark VideoPlayer component.
It doesn’t occur when we are using Android devices neither when we are accessing medias located in our local network (including in iOS devices). The problem occurs only when we are accessing medias located in an external FMS server through iOS devices.
I would really appreciate if someone could give any help about this problem.
Thanks,
Luis Vasquez

How do you access parent component from a child in Flex 4?

Suppose I have a Component A (as a Spark Group) that generates an event, eventX. Inside Component A, I add Component B (also a Spark Group) that wants to add itself as an event listener for eventX. How do I access Component A from Component B to register for the event?
For reference, this relationship should be similar to the MVC pattern where Component B is the view, and Component A is the model and controller.
If I were implementing this in ActionScript, I'd have no problem coding this. However, I am using flex, and am still trying to figure out how the FLEX API works.

B could "reach up" to A using the parentDocument property. Or you could set a reference-to-A onto B.

Would you mind explaining that?
set a reference-to-A onto B.
That is something I am trying to avoid. I do not want to create tightly coupled code.
Here is a generic form of the code I am using. Feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong in your explanation of how B can "reach up" to A. Thanks!

Error when Reversing metadata from HFM

Hi,
I'm getting this error when i try to reverse metadata from HFM.
"com.hyperion.odi.common.ODIHAppException: Error occurred while loading driver."
I already try the suggestion in this forum including
Cause
The Java Library Path of the HFMDriver.dll is missing in Wrapper configuration file.
Solution
1. Backup and edit the ODI_HOME\tools\wrapper\conf\snpsagent.conf and include the following entry in Java Library Path section :
wrapper.java.library.path.2=../drivers
After adding it will look as follows:
# Java Library Path (location of Wrapper.DLL or libwrapper.so)
wrapper.java.library.path.1=../tools/wrapper/lib/
wrapper.java.library.path.2=../drivers
Note: HFMDriver.dll is usually present in <odi_home>\oracledi\drivers folder. If it is located in different path, then appropriate location should be referred. Also numbering convention like wrapper.java.library.path.1, wrapper.java.library.path.2 has to be in a incremental manner and no duplicates nor gaps should exist.
2. Save the file and recreate the ODI Agent Service with the new configuration parameters as the classes are loaded during its creation and re-test the issue.
But it still errors. Does anyone know another solution?
Btw, i'm using ODI 10.1.3.5, and the HFM's version 9.3.1
Those two are not on the same machine. And i've already installed HFM Client on ODI Machine.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, i've solved the problem above. Looks like i forgot to define driver folder in PATH variable.
But now i got another error.
Looks like the problem lies in HFM now.
It's said that Server/Cluster incorrectly configured. But, in my HFMClient i've successfully access the application.

How can we access Page metadata in DataView Webpart in SharePoint Designer 2013?

Hi,
I need to access Page metadata in my Data view web part and I am having a feeling, that the "Form" option can help me getting Page metadata, but I am not able to get much information about using this field as a parameter source on net? Can
anybody advise, how to use "Form" option in "Parameter Source" in SharePoint Designer 2013
OR Suggest me any other way to get Page metadata in Data View Webpart?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Deepali,
All the parameter source are ASP Request Object collections which is used to get information from a visitor.
For accessing page metadata, you can select Server Variable.
For more information ,you can refer to the following article:

Prevent access .flv after burning

Greetings,
in my last post i wanted to have a window where i could load a .swf file but i'm thinking that i'm complicating what can be simple.
My objective is to protect files from being used by the users after putting them on a CD/DVD. In order to do this i was thinking on
a mechanism based on "localConnection". This way i could create a connection between Director and Lingo and somehow create a
loader with director. But i'm finding this somehow complicated, i really think that there must be an easier way to do this.
A portion of code imbued on flv file for example that could prevent the access from users after the cd/dvd is burned.
Any idea or any example of code that you can help me?
Thanks for the time spent reading this post and any help that you can give.

Hi,

What do you mean here, that make me confusion. Do you mean your current question is need to type full name to search files or can’t search files under “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu”?
After do a test in a real environment, I need take back my first posting. I did set “Prevent access to drives from My Computer” for c driver. But I can search files in both “c:\Windows\system32” and “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Accessories.”
Also I can search file by type the full name Snipping Tool or Snip.
The registry item I found to control “Prevent access to drives from My Computer” is HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoViewOnDrive

Importing metadata from other catalogs

Can aperture import metadata from any programs except iPhoto? If not then is the only way to get data on old files into Aperture via embedded IPTC metadata? iView Media Pro and Extensis Portfolio can export metadata databases. I've got about 3000 keyworded photos in a Portfolio catalog - the keywords have not been embedded into the files and I was hoping to import the database into Aperture

Aperture imported basic metadata (Byline, State, etc.) that I had entered on some jpegs. However, it did not import anything on the thousands of DNG's I imported. Also didn't import anything one several test CRW+xmp sidecar files.
I'm guessing Aperture is taking the stance that the RAW files should never be modified... and if one follows that rule to the extreme, how would any RAW file have any IPTC metadata to import in the first place? So it doesn't bother to check for it, at least in my case.
I'm guessing any program that has a scripting interface that accesses metadata fields will be able to be scripted so one can transfer metadata. They basically work like this:
tell application Iview to get "city" metadata from "picture 1" and put this metadata in "city" metadata in "picture 1" in application Aperture.
This obviously isn't correct syntax, but there is no reason why you couldn't ask for a specific field of metadata from one program and store it in a completely different field, thus making up your own "custom" mapping. For example, you could ask for the "city" in one program and map it to the "Byline" in another program, if both programs expose these fields and the ability to read/write to them via Applescript.

[svn] 4600: Flex SDK - Move style metadata from base class down to component classes

Flex SDK - Move style metadata from base class down to component classes
Previously, all spark and text styles were defined on FxComponent even though not every component supports all of those styles. So I have moved each style to the top-most base class where the style will apply to all descendant classes of that base class.
This is the set of styles that were added to the various classes:
baseColor
color
focusColor
symbolColor
selectionColor
contentBackgroundColor
rollOverColor
alternatingItemColors
basic text styles
advanced text styles
Here are some details about the implementation:
- baseColor was added to FxComponent because every component and container supports it
- FxContainer and GroupBase are containers, so their children can potentially support any of the styles. Thus the container classes support all of the styles indirectly.
- FxDataContainer doesn't support all of the styles because its subclasses (FxButtonBar, FxList) don't support all styles.
- FxList supports selectionColor, but not inactiveSelectionColor or unfocusedSelectionColor. All other components that support selectionColor, support the other two styles, and thus include styles/metadata/SelectionFormatTextStyles.as
- GroupBase contains the style declarations that have the full ASDoc. All other declarations use the @copy keyword to reference the asdoc from GroupBase.
QE Notes: Update tests to remove references to styles that are no longer allowed on various components/FxButton.as
Doc Notes: Write the ASDoc comments for the style declarations in GroupBase

Gordon, it looks like its been a while since you made this post. Not sure how valid it is now... I am particularly interested in the LigatureLevel.NONE value. It seems that it is no longer supported.
How do I turn of ligatures in the font rendering?
My flex project involves trying to match the font rendering of Apache's Batik rendering of SVG and ligatures have been turned off in that codebase. Is there any way (even roundabout) to turn ligatures off in flash?
Thanks,
Om
