Adding a Delay To A Stream.

Yes, I want to do the exact opposite of most of you. I want to add a 10-15 minute delay into a stream for PvP.
I did not see a thread on this so I thought I'd ask what would be the best way to do this? The answer perferably doesn't require another computer, but if that's the only route... I can go that way...

Another way requires you to write a DirectShow filter that takes data from the device and keep it in it's queue for some duration (the amount of latency you want in stream). If this could be implemented, you can achieve what you want with utmost precision but this approach requires knowledge about writing DirectShow filters.

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best. Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself. A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network. Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

Delay in music streaming?

So I have a wireless music streaming set-up in my dorm room. However, I get a delay in terms of when I start playing a song to when its playing. Its not a major delay but enough to be a noticable difference.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Adding Subscribers to Shared Photo streams?

Recently created a photo stream/album that I identified to share with four individuals; however, realized that I needed to add some additional addressees. Unfortunately, I could not figure out exactly HOW to add new "subscribers?" I went to the Help Center, where their "Manage subscribers to your shared photo streams" information did outline steps; unfortunately, the instructions for adding new subscribers does not appear to be available on/in my system??? I can only see (have the options to change):
The Album name
Description
Deletion of those already selected
Turn on option for Public Website
...and no others???
Can anyone help in this?
Thanks.

Simply type an additional email address right into the brick with the heading "Shared with" that lists the current subscribers.

Realtime delay of 'live' stream

Hello,
I'm speccing a job for a client who wants to use live streams
and have cutomers phoning in to direct the show as it happens in
the studio. One consideration is how 'live' is live streaming in
flash. Does anyone know roughly what the delay from studio camera
to end users machine is? I intend using a high-spec machine with
good video card, flash media encoder, and Limelight Networks as the
server provider.
Thanks in advance
Mike

yes, we too have a very small delay in distributing the
signal.
But remember the buffer settings in the client. Typically
that would be 3 seconds and anything smaller than that may result
in a jiggly video stream.
The internet itself was not meant as areal-time delivery
medium, so delays may vary, opposite to classic media like tv or
radio, where there were no varying delays (until dvb-t came up (=

IO delay causes buffered streams to hang

I'm writing an application that uses the network and in order to test under slow conditions I created custom input/output streams that just puts in a delay in the basic read() and write(int b) methods before calling the method for the stream passed in the constructor. This allows me to find problems where the interface hangs under slow conditions etc. very quickly.
The problem is that on buffered streams (I have specifically had trouble with BufferedReader and BufferedOutputStream) it causes the stream to just hang. It works fine without the stream with the delay but with it something is causing a hang. I think it may have something to do with the network because I don't have the problem with File IO. Does anybody know why a delay would cause a buffered stream to hang?

Well the I know the socket has not timed out. I usually set the delay about 1 to 3 milliseconds. This will happen everytime a read() or write(int b) occurs so it is enough to slow things down.
This is a code sample that shows the basic idea for reading in a file:
import java.io.*;
public class Example
static class SlowInputStream extends InputStream
private InputStream in;
public SlowInputStream(InputStream i)
in=i;
public int read() throws IOException
try { Thread.sleep(3); }
catch(InterruptedException e) {}
return in.read();
public static void main(String[] args)
throws IOException
if(args.length==0)
System.out.println("Need filename.");
System.exit(0);
SlowInputStream sis=new SlowInputStream(
new FileInputStream(args[0]));
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(sis));
String text;
StringBuffer temp=new StringBuffer();
while((text=in.readLine())!=null)
temp.append(text);
temp.append("\n");
System.out.println(temp.toString());
I would have posted a networking example but I create a subclass of PlainSocketImpl to so I can wrap all the streams networking streams and this requires to set the bootclasspath, but the above shows the basic technique.
Thanks

Large delay in FFMPEG stream

I'm attempting to setup a system where my co-hosts of our show can send me their video feeds, without having to use Skype. I've worked out a system using ffmpeg, nginx, and vlc that works, but has several seconds of delay, which if it can be reduced, would be very helpful.
ffmpeg pulls the video from the webcam, (and I have tested this with merely copying the h264 stream from the webcam, and sending that raw to the server), ffmpeg then sends an rtmp stream to nginx, and finally, vlc connects and displays the stream from nginx.
I'm not sure which component here is introducing delay, or even why.

The combination of both of these reduced latency to a much more managable ~500ms.
Thanks!

Adding art to an mp3 stream

why doesn't itunes allow art to be added to an mp3 stream? are there any applescripts or shareware that fix this?

i can put artwork on songs, but itunes doesn't allow artwork to be added to radio streams. try it. after you go into the information box on a stream the lyrics tab and artwork tab are not highlighted.

Latencies / delay in live streams

I'm doing some tests with FMS and live streaming, but I observe quite long delays.
When the stream is first accessed, the latency is around 3-5 seconds, which is acceptable.
But as we watch the stream for about 30 minutes or more, the latency grows to around 20 seconds, which is just too much.
What settings should I look at to keep the latency / delay minimal?

You're going to want to look at the bandwidth that you're pushing into your FMS system and the bandwidth you're getting out. Usually when you see evolving live latency it's because there's a bandwidth bottleneck somewhere and you're dropping frames and falling behind as FMS attempts to deliver a stream that's too big for the destination. If not then perhaps it's something else, but you'll want to eliminate that possibility first as it's the most common.

Adding invitees to existing photo stream?

Hi,
I know how to create a new photo stream from iphone and invite poeple to subscribe to it once I make it public. However, how do I add additional invitees to existing photo stream?
I'm stumped.
Thanks, Mitch

Are photos automatically added to iPhoto via photo stream?

I just noticed a new folder called photo stream on my iphoto? however Apple states that these photos are here because of the large storage on the computer....Are these saved on your computer permanantly and why don't they appear in the Photos tab?

That folder is what you have synced from Photostream. Once an image has ben pushed down from Photostream is permanently on your computer, with one small caveat that also ties into why you don't seem them in the Photos tab.
Once they are synced down, those images are stored permanently on your computer, but in a special bucket, outside of the main library. Part of the reason for this has to do with being able to "reset" Photostream in iPhoto. The short version is: to reset Photostream (to clear it out), you can go to iCloud and hit the reset button. Then, on each device that syncs Photostream, just turn the service off and back on. That will clear out the local cache of photos from Photostream. In this instance, those photos in that folder would be deleted.
If you want to make sure you never lose your photos, the easiest way is to move them into an event or album. Once you do that, they are copied to your iPhoto library. you'll see them in the Photos tab, and be able to edit and share them as you wish.

Trouble adding photos manually to photo stream

neither dragging photo from event/album into photostream nor sharing photo into photostream worked.
can someone help? thanks!

I've done all of the above and no luck. "ICloud Photo Library" and "Upload to My Photo Stream" both have their sliders set to the right, they are showing green and they are turened on.
If I download to my IPad using Sony's Play Memories software the pictures do appear in my ICloud photo library. However, when Aperture uploads photos from an album to photo stream they do appear in photo stream on Aperture, but not in the ICloud Photo Library on my IOS 8.1 devices..

Adding a delay timer in a frame - need help

in flash cs3 using actinscript 3.0 i have a frame that i
loaded text into, i want to freeze that frame so the text stays in
the window for lets say 10 seconds, then it exits and loops
again...is there a snippet of code like sleep(1000); that will
allow me to do that?

1. 10 seconds would be 10000 ms, one minute would be 60000 ms
2. you only need this to execute 1, not 60 times
3. you need an event listener for your timer to call a
function that will direct your timeline to play
4. you need a stop() in that frame.
5. you need the function mentioned in 3.

In IOS 7.0 photoes cannot be added to shared photo stream

In IOS 7.0, the photo apps hanged when adding photoes to shared photo stream.

You can apparently force ios6 devices to receive the subscriber contributed photos by turning off shared photo streaming and turning it back on again. It is under General Troubleshooting in the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379
A similar workaround did not work with iPhoto 11.
To get around this, I've been re-sharing the subscriber contributed content and deleting the original from the stream. They show up, but not a very elegant solution.

The photos I've added to my photo stream on my laptop are not showing on my iPad

I've added photos to my photo stream on my laptop but I can't see them on my iPad - I've waited 24 hours, anyone know why?
Thanx

Thanx for the reply, it's an acer aspire laptop...
Previously I have copy pasted photos from various places on my laptop into my photo stream - also on my laptop, then I go to my iPad and the photos are there...
Even the apple support guy said its strange, he's calling me back tomorrow....
Thinking about it There is 1 thing tho, in conversation he kept saying that I uploaded my pics to my photo stream, but I didn't actually upload anything, in the windows folders on my laptop I have my computer, my documents, my pictures, my photo stream, just like another windows folder...
Even tho it worked last time I pasted them there, am I meant to be doing something else???
Thanx!
