  • ITunes missing from Media Browser -- "open itunes to populate list"

    I am on a MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running GarageBand '11 6.0.4 and all of the sudden no tracks will display under Audio in the Media Browser (Photos and Movies still appear). No tracks from either iTunes or GB show up. This is confusing as I have been using GB to make podcast/music mixes for more than 5 years and I haven't changed any settings or done anything different, but now I get the message "open itunes to populate list" or "To see GB songs here, open GB to edit and save your music."
    Also, for quite some time I have been unable to go the alternative route of dragging tracks directly from iTunes and dropping them on to the timeline in GB -- that used to work, but mysteriously stopped, so I am dependent on the Media Browser for importing music.
    I read thru the forums and tried the advice given to someone this was happening to in Final Cut -- recreating iTunes .xml file. Did that, still no tracks display.
    Other advice says to reinstall GB or iLife altogether -- I hope to avoid this, but if I need to go this route, how do I reinstall GB w/o a disk? Can I do it through App Store and will it recognize that I have already purchased it?
    I am dying to be able to get back in to my music mix making in GB, so thanks in advance.

    you can't, you'd need to find the DVD

    no, it'll only recognize your purchase if it was through the app store

  • URL missing from Media tag

    I am trying to stream a live video from Adobe Media Server. I am sending  a video to the server from Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.2. On Adobe Media Server I open the sample video player (videoplayer.html) in a browser. In the STREAM URL field I put: http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/ liveevent.f4m. When I click the PLAY STREAM button I get the error message: URL missing from Media tag. What do I need to do?

    What is the stream name that you are publishing from FMLE? If it's "livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent" then the url should be http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m .

  • F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag

    I feel like I'm getting close to finally get a live stream to work correctly in 4.5
    I can see the streams being recorded in the following directories
         C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent1
         C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent2
         C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent3
    Each directory contains five files: bootstrap ,control, meta, f4f, and f4x.
    I have a single file called Event.xml in the directory: C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent
    <Event><EventID>liveevent</EventID>
    <Recording>
    <FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
    <SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
    <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
    </Recording>
    </Event>
    However the client player receives the exception F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag.
    If this file is dynamically generated on the fly by the server what do I need to change to resolve this issue?

    I will suggest you to go through this doc for complete implementation details. It is pretty comprehendable and would help you understand http live streaming better.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a33 8-8000.html#WSd391de4d9c7bd609a95b3f112a373a7115-7ff6.
    As per your questions -
    1. "I try to access the stream using the local player at http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" - This should be http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/liveevent.f4m.
         The name of the f4m is the name of the event you are referring to. In your case, the live event - liveevent is associated with all your three livestreams- namely livestream1, livestream2. livestream3.
    2. "Do I need to create BOTH a 'manifest.xml' and a 'event.xml'? And do both of these files need to be in the event directory like below?" - Yes. If you are using mbr you need both these files at the exact place you mnetioned.
    For simple single bitrate streams, mainfest.xml file is optional.
    3. "If I need to manually create a manifest.xml file would this file and directory be correct?" - Yes, you are right on track. Create the file Manifest.xml and place it inside events directory at the place you mentioned.
    4. "Do I need to use a absolute url in the streamid field in manifest.xml to resolve the error msg 'The F4M document contains errors URL missing from Media tag'?" - No. This is not needed. StreamId is not the content path, that is taken care of by the url path in the output manifest. You streamIds will be - livestream1, livestream2, livestream3.
    After all this, I would suggest you to check one more thing. If you are publishing the way you mentioned above, there would be '.stream' files (For eg - 'MTYxMjAzMzAzMg=.stream' ) created in your events folder - "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent\". You should check that there are 3 and only three files formed. It somehow happens that when you publish and republish again without deleting these files, FMS creates multiple copies and tries to map each one to the actual content written at - C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestream1\ etc.. So there should be three files and each one should point to one of the streams directory. If there are more, please delete these files, delete your hds streaming content (if possible) and republish again the same way.
    This should solve your problem. If still you are facing some issues, do let us know.
    Thanks,
    Apoorva.

    It seems to me that it is a configuration issue, but I have no clue.
    I compared above manifest with a sample manifest that I found on Adobe's site, the attributes are same but the structure is not. Maybe that is causing OSMF to fail.
    Thanks for any suggestion!

    I am using other encoder than FMLE. I am publishing 3 streams.
    rtmp://x.y.z.w/livepkgr

    <media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="200" />
    <media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="350" />
    (e.g. 60kbps video + 40kbps audio for the 1st stream)
    I have Common output parameters > Stream Name configuration on my Live Transcoder and I write the following:
    livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-http-streaming-ver=1.0
    Then Admin Console > View Apps > Live Log includes the following:
    Stream name is: livestream%i1 and live event is: liveevent
    Stream name is: livestream%i2 and live event is: liveevent

  • OSMF: URL Missing from Media Tag: Adobe HDS

    Hi,
    I have an encoder publishing 2 streams livestream1 and livestream2 to the FMS livepkgr. I have a set-level manifest for the 2 bitrates, but I get the URl missing from media tag error. What is causing this ?
    <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
        <id>myVideo</id>
        <baseURL>http://172.16.3.60/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>
        <dvrInfo offline="false" windowDuration="600" />
        <streamType>live</streamType>
        <media url="livestream1.f4m" bitrate="300"/>
        <media url="livestream2.f4m" bitrate="800"/>    
    </manifest>
    I resorted to downloading the OSMF source code but cant fathom out why it thinks this XML is invalid and that the media url doesnt exist. 
    The streams play back indiviually no problem.
    Anyone got any ideas ?

  • When dragging in folder from media browser, some clips missing?

    I've noticed a strange problem where if I drag a folder with video clips in from the media browser, not all of the clips will make it into the project all of the time.
    Whereas if I open up that folder and select all the media files individually, they all make it into the project.
    There doesn't seem to be any consistency that I can see when I drag in a folder and not all the files therein make it into the project. Has anyone ever seen this behavior before? This must be a bug.
    Currently using Premiere Pro CC 2014 - 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

    Actually - technically all of these clips are in the project. See I have a lot of unlogged clips in my project. I'm having another editor log the clips on a different computer, then I'm bringing the logged clips back into the project, and then just double checking the file count of the original folder and the file count of the new folder to see that they match up.
    Does this shed any more light? The fact it's not consistent is what is weird. Is it possible maybe the clips that are already in a project and in a sequence somewhere don't get imported?
    Any thoughts on how I can make the process smoother given the work flow? Thanks.

  • Aperture missing from Media

    I used to select photos from Aperture in the Finder under the "Media" category, but suddenly I only see iPhoto (which has nothing of note in it).  How can I restore Aperture.  I'll need to be able to find it to use Adobe's Carousel.
    Aperture v 3.2.1
    OS 10.7.2 (Lion)

    Hello Alice,
    that is a pity.
    Then quit Aperture, remove the Aperture preference file from your Library, maybe that file is corrupted, log off and log on again.
    To remove the preferences:
    To open your hidden Library select:  Finder -> GO -> (hold down the opt/alt key) and select "Library"
    In the Library open the "Preferences"  folder and remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist"
    Hope that helps

  • RAID is missing in Media Browser

    RAID is missing from the Media Browser. I can see the RAID icon (AM VIDEO) in the bin but can see it in the file directory. Double clicking on the icon doesn't open the RAID. My work around is to place an alias of a directory needed from the RAID on the desktop.
    RAID is an OWC Mercury Rack Pro and it's visible and fully functional in the finder. Problem occurs in CC and CC14
    Mac Pro 5,1, 10.9.3

    I've just had it happen too. A brand new OWC RAID 1 drive (less than a week old) has suddenly, under Pr 2014, lost the ability to see this drive.  When it arrived I formatted it with Apple's Disk Utility. Adobe Premiere has been working fine until this version. Now Premiere cannot see this drive in media browser, while the Finder can, and DU reports no problems, and neither does Disk Warrier. The drive seems fine. But Adobe can't see it.
    Given the variety of people discussing this, here and on other boards, I'm thinking that there is a bug with Media Browser. I now have to *reformat* my drive, which means hours of moving files off to another drive and back on. If this is a bug, we need to know what's happening! I will be *very* unwilling to upgrade to the next version of Adobe software given this situation!

  • Aperture Library and iLife Media Browser - Showing Deleted MobileMe Gallery

    I'm currently using Aperture 3.1 and iLife '09 and just noticed that when I try to access the Aperture Library from say iPhoto or Keynote that the list of folders contains two MobileMe folders with my name, one of which contains dupicates of two of my gallery's. Now I deleted all of my MobileMe gallery's to see if I could fix this, but it still shows a MobileMe folder and two gallery's that no longer exist. I even logged out of MobileMe in Aperture, but still in the iLife Media browser the non-existent gallery's are still shown. I even tried deleting all previews and re-generating in Aperture, to see if the sharing information would be updated, but still these phantom gallery's persist. I guess this doesn't cause me any problems, but I would just like to fix it and wondered if anyone else had seen this and knew of a solution? Thanks.

  • Missing iLife Media Browser

    After transferring data via time machine from my alu. MBP15" to unibody MBP13", I could not see iphoto library in the media Browser. I tried that in IMoive and adium.
    I think the problem comes from different version of ilife in both Macs. The 15" has 08 and the 13" has 09". How could I resolve the problem ? Apart from this, iphoto functions alright and all photos have transfered without any missing. Thanks
    Regards,
    Ronald

    I just ran into this, transferring the exact same way between the exact same two computers! iPhoto's contents weren't showing up anywhere the iLife media browser should put them (Desktop background, iWeb).
    First, make sure all your updates are installed. Download and install the package I'm linking to, then restart.

  • ITunes files missing in Media Browser for all other apps

    I've read many and posted a couple times about this issue, but new information has come to light, so I figured I'd give it one more shot.
    Somewhere along the line from migrating from 2007 MacBook to my newer 2010 iMac, I've lost the ability to see my iTunes files in other apps in the media browser.  This is very specific to the user that my main library (237gb).  I've got a separate library on a different user account, no issues there.  It happens in all of the iLife apps(like trying to add music to a slideshow), iWork apps (clicking on media), Mail (attaching a .mp3).  Oddly enough, Audacity has no issue seeing the iTunes files.  I've tried several solutions, including re-installing the Media Browser, and trashing the .xml file (Apple's own solution found here). Nothing worked.  I had hoped the release of Lion might fix the problem, and I upgraded "the Apple way."  The problem persisted. 
    I had thought perhaps the issue lied from carring over old code, apps, or whatever from the migration.  I had hoped doing a clean install of Lion might do the trick.  I finally got an external to move the library too, and do a very manual migration.  Copied all documents and media to the external, boot from the Lion Boot CD I created before upgrading the 1st time, reformat drive, install Lion.  It went off without a hitch.  I made sure to copy all of the database files (.xml, .itl), and while all of my settings, playlists, and play counts were preserved (something that is important to me), the same problem reared it's head.
    Another idea came was to start a new user account, and just use the media files, and not the database files.  After simply dragging the media folder into iTunes and copying the files (the drobo has plenty of space), it worked perfectly.  Except I had lost all of my play counts, settings, and playlists. 
    So the question is, is there a solution to fix the old user account, or is there a way to rebuild what I've lost in the new user account?  I'm using completely updates software in Lion, iLife, iTunes, iWork, etc. 

    Turns out my "iTunes Library.itl" file was corrupt.  I used the old "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to rebuild a new library with existing playlists and play counts.  Though that didn't go off completely without a hitch, I did find this solution.  Problem solved.

  • GB 08-Importing mp3 file from media browser---does this affect source file?

    Hello again,
    Another question...
    I imported an mp3 from my iTunes folder into GB (to jam over). I did this via the media browser, and it came in fine. I next wanted to create a looped rhythm segment from that file to jam over. I know how to do this, and then add it as a loop to the library. However, does this alter the source file at all (in the iTunes folder)? Do I need to make a copy of this in the GB folder first before I start splicing? I think I read that GB will not alter files, just "regions" but I wanted to make sure.
    On a related note, does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)? So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    Thanks!

    However, does this alter the source file at all
    no
    does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)?
    yes, and no. originally, yes, but once saved as a loop, that little clip is saved as it's own file to your lib
    So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    same as above. it will in the first case, won't in the second

  • Music is missing from Media files

    So I have many CD's I have copied to iTunes.  I copied them years ago.  I'm now trying to copy some of the music files from media to my phone (non-Apple) which requires me to do it from the media file location on my windows.
    I noticed music is missing from my music on iTunes.  I have not found a way to update/backup whatever to get the missing music to the media files?

    "Not sure how or what caused the Compilations folder in the file path."
    iTunes will put any songs for which the "Part of a Compilation" flag is set into the Compilations folder.  Unless you have an older type of iDevice there's really no need to ever use "Part of a Compilation" (and even if you do, its only necessary for "Various Artists" compilations).  In this example, if you select the album in iTunes, right-click > Get Info >  Summary tab and set Part of a Compilation to "No" (and assuming that you have configured iTunes to manage your library) the media will be moved to C:\Users\RS Desktop\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\.38 Special\Flashback_ The Best of .38 Special.
    "So after I moved a few songs over, went to iTunes to play.  It says it can't locate the songs."
    Ah, that may be the problem ... based on what you're reporting you have these two options set under Edit > Preferences > Advanced:
    This means that iTunes determines where to store media based on Artist and Album information - if you start moving files around yourself it will inevitably lose track of it (indeed, iTunes lacks any capability to keep track of media when moved by anything else, irrespective of its settings).
    "How do if I click on a song a pop up asks if I want to locate, then I can go to the media files folder and get the song, but that if individually."
    iTunes does sometimes automatically fix related links when you do this - however, it can't be guaranteed to do so and there is no "bulk fix" capability built into iTunes itself.
    If possible, restore your iTunes Media using a backup taken before you started moving files around.  Turingtest2 has a useful script (http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp#FindTracks) that may help to resolve further issues (as always, before you start running any scripts that may modify the content of your library take a backup first).

  • Aperture 3 not in Media Browser - Non-Default Library Location Issue

    Hi Everyone,
    My Aperture Library cannot be viewed in the media browser. I created a new Aperture library in the default location which resolved the issue; however, I have my library on an external hard drive and it is too big to put on my internal HD.
    Any suggestions on how to tell iLife & iWork to look in my external HD?

    Hello Everybody,
    Ok...I went to the Genius Bar, but to no avail. (by the way, my issue about not being able to open programs while holding alt was due to my not depressing the alt key for the required length of time. So, false alarm on that one. Oops!)
    I just updated to 3.0.1. I continued to have the same issues with accessing my files through the media browser. I called tech support; and through their instructions, I was able to gain access to my library through the media browser. This seemed to be by accident, so I don't know if it was due to the update, a particular logarithm of library selection, or a combination of the two.
    What I remember being the last actions were to create an alternate library, >file, >>switch to library, >>>other, select the new library, (possibly restarting Aperture), then switching back to my main library through the same selection as previous (i think...possibly by a different method).
    Regardless, my library is now accessible in the media browser in iLife & iWork programs.
