Are mp3 files seekable over RTMP with FMS 3.5?

I had an OSMF sample running on my dev laptop with Wowza Media Server because it's OSX. I use the following line to setup an mp3 stream over RTMP: var audio:AudioElement = new AudioElement(new NetLoader(), new URLResource(new URL(selectedMediaSource)));
With Wowza, the audio is seekable, but when I change over to FMS, the file still plays but the mediaPlayer is no longer seekable so the scrub bar doesn't work. The code is based off of the ExamplePlayer sample that ships with OSMF and uses a mediaPlayerWrapper to manage visibility of the controls in the UI.
Do I need something on the server side to allow the seek function? Is this not possible over FMS? Or is there just a much better way to code this?
Thanks.

Actually, it looks like mediaPlayer.seekable == true, but the file won't seek. The easiest way to duplicate the problem is just to use the ExamplePlayer sample and modify the 'AllExamples.as' file. You can change the URL to point to any mp3 file in an FMS streaming directory for the "Streaming Audio" example.
It seems like the easiest fix is to convert the mp3 file to an flv and the seek function works again. I would rather not convert all of the mp3 files to flv, but at least it's functional. My guess is that FMS does not send the duration of the file for the mp3 format so the player can't seek.

Can't upload mp3 files to server - could with version 6

I need to upload mp3 files to a server. This was possible in FireFox version 6, but I unfortunately upgraded to version 10.0.2. Now it just says "connecting" and "sending request" without any results.

Hi there. First off thank you for your interest and your help.
I have done what you suggest probably 30 times as I have obsessed over this crazy problem for a couple straight weeks before I finaly gave up on CS5.5
I'm not sure what you mean by REMOTE server. The only server settings I am aware of are the ones in Dreamweaver. Here they are:
5.0 Settings:
Server Name = the same values on each
Connect Using = FTP
FTP Address = same numeric value on 5.0 & 5.5 port 21
User name = same on both
Password = same on both
Root directory = is blank (I have tried it using / with no luck as well)
web URL = http://ftp.westbrookadvertising.com/www/htdocs/
Passive FTP is checked & Use FTP Peformance optimization is checked.
5.5 Settings:
Server Name = the same values on each
Connect Using = FTP
FTP Address = same numeric value on 5.0 & 5.5 port 21

ITunes MP3 files don't work with other programs

I want my digital music files to be compatible with all other devices so I rip to MP3 using iTunes. The ID tags that iTunes puts on the MP3 files are not compatible with other players such as Windows Media Player and Creative. Does iTunes use a propriatary format for the tags? Am I doing something wrong?

File Sharing over IPsec with RV220W

Hello all,
Ultimately, the issue is that I have two RV220Ws with an IPsec VPN tunnel between them that appears to be up but that I can't seem to get folder sharing going over. Here's the background.
I originally had two Netgear FVS318s set up with a VPN tunnel and everything worked as expected. I could connect to the server at the office from a machine at home and browse the files and more importantly do nightly backups of files that had changed at the office over the VPN to the house. The problem with the FVS318s was that for wireless I had to have another device and that the WAN to LAN throughput was something like 7Mbps. Kind of limiting when you consistently get 22Mbps from the ISP.
So, I bought two Cisco RV220Ws to replace them with. I started by replacing the one at home and was able to get it going with the FVS318 at the office. The VPN was stable and I had no problem browsing the files on the server as I had already been doing. A couple weeks later I replaced the FVS318 at the office with the other RV220W and the VPN came up fine but I lost all ability to file share between the two sites. I've watched the phase 1 and 2 negotiations and they look good from both ends. Looking at the IPsec Connection Status shows IPsec SA Established. I know that the tunnel is there because I can ping various machines at the other site from either end. I've tried just about everything I can think of but I just can not get file sharing going. The other issue is that while I can ping each of the RV220Ws from either end, when I try to hit the distant end's management console through a web browser, I get the initial SSL certificate warning that I click proceed on and then it just sits there spinning trying to load the management console on the distant RV220W. With the FVS318s I could hit the distant end management consoles via browser. So, here's more detail.
Site: Home
Subnet: 192.168.1.x
Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
Site: Office
Subnet: 10.2.10.x
Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
I know the difference between my static (inbound IP) and my gateway (outbound IP)
I tried creating firewall access rules by defining services as follows:
FS-TCP: 135 - 139 TCP
FS-UDP: 135 - 139 UDP
SMB-TCP: 445 TCP
SMB-UDP: 445 UDP
Then the firewall access rules as follows (I'll just give a couple examples so you'll get the gist)
Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
Action: Always allow
Service: SMB-TCP
Source IP: Single IP
Start: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the gateway IP of the distant end at home)
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
When that wasn't working, I created another set of rules for the internal IPs of the distant end as follows:
Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
Action: Always allow
Service: SMB-TCP
Source IP: Address Range
Start: 192.168.1.1
Finish: 192.168.1.254
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
I also enabled Remote Management of the RV220W as:
Access Type: Single IP address
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (gateway IP of the distant end at home)
Port 443
When that didn't work, I created two additional firewall rules for port 443 for the home gateway IP and the internal 192.168.1.x IPs. Still no go.
So this is where I'm stuck. In the FVS318s I did not have to create any firewall rules for the VPN traffic. I started off with no rules for the RV220W because I didn't expect it'd need them and then I began adding the firewall rules in order to troubleshoot. Here's the funny thing. If I drop the FVS318 back into place at the office site, it all works as expected.
So where do I go from here guys? About the only thing I haven't done is burn down the VPN tunnel in the RV220Ws and I haven't done that because I can ping hosts on either end and if I drop the FVS318 back into place it works fine. I'm totally stumped and would sincerely appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. If you need additional configuration information, I can provide that.
Thanks.

Thanks for answering, I was beginning to worry nobody had any idea how to help.
The IP subnets did not change on either end.
I am using the IP address to map. Critical machines are either static IP or reserved in DHCP and are all in the IP range of the VPN Policy.
I can ping distant end machines in both directions by IP through the tunnel but I can not ping by hostname. I do not have NETBIOS enabled on the VPN policy. I'm using OpenDNS on both sides, so when I try to ping the hostname of the server I get the opendns.com IP back because it couldn't resolve the IP of the hostname during the lookup.
Sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately, one end is at home, the other at my wife's business. During the day, I'm at work on the other side of town from both.

Where on hard drive are mp3 files saved?

My computer has crashed and I am trying to rescue my iPod files off of the hard drive. Please tell me where I can find these files. I am looking in Program Files but I don't see anything that looks like mp3s in the iTunes or iPod folders. Help!
It is also my understanding that, once my computer is fixed, I cannot just plug in my iPod and it will update iTunes back to the way it was before. Is this correct?

c:\documents and settings\%userName%\my documents\itunes...
unless you added local accounts, the %userName% will either be owner or administrator.
am
edit: and it depends on how it was "fixed." if only the os was "repaired" but left intact, then it may be that easy. if it was reformatted and completely reinstalled, or the hard drive replaced, then no.

Are .dng files compatible with iPhoto?

I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix dmg G2 camera. I have iPhoto '09 on my iMac, running OS 10.6.8. I was unable to load the RAW images from this camera to iPhoto, so I converted them to .dng files. I even downloaded the latest version of the dng Converter, but I am still unable to download them to iPhoto. I get the following error message:
"Unreadable Files: 1
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)"
I am pretty sure I was able to download .dng files in the past. Has something changed, or are .dng files just not compatible with iPhoto?
JB

Not all dng-files are alike. I have used dng with iPhoto before, without problems. I could not find any documentation for dng in iPhoto, but for Aperture it is documented that dng works for "DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the 'Convert to Linear Image' option turned off". Probably the same will hold for iPhoto.
In Snowleopard the following cameras are supported:

Trouble Importing mp3 Files

Hello:
I've installed iLife 06 over a week ago, and played around a little with Garageband 3. By the way, I'm running Panther (10.3.9) on a Powerbook G4 laptop.
I do a radio show, and so I usually record a two-hour show. For the heck of it, I wanted to kick the tires, as it were, with importing one of the files as a track. And no matter if it's a one-hour file or a two-hour one, it fails to import the tracks properly. Even though I can see the orange track on the timeline, the actual sound wave is only partial. For a two-hour show that I attempt to import, for instance, it routinely cuts off the wave at 1:06:xx (that's an hour and six minutes plus).
I'm baffled, because these are mp3 files that I'm working with, usually at 128 kbps or 192. Any help to get this resolved would be appreciated....thanks!

What folder do I put new soundeffect mp3 files in?

I have gotten some free sound effects from iCreate magazine on the enclosed CD. They are mp3 files. Where would I put additional mp3 files so they are available in iMovie, Garage Band in the iLife Media browser?
Thanks!

I found the sound effects in the following path folders but all the apple supplied ones were ending in .aif THese are MP3. Do they need to be converted?
PATH: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects
Is that right?
If I just put them in iTunes I would have to make a separate playlist and then add the MP3 to the movie. Is that your suggestion? I see that work around, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to put sound effects in with sound effects.
Thanks for the tip though!

How do I import .mp3 files on a CD to .m4a files in iTunes?

I have several audio books that are .mp3 files on CDs. Since they are books, they work best in iTunes as .m4b files, which I can convert from .m4a, but when I import to iTunes, the files import as .mp3 files. There's lots of help to go from the .m4a to .mp3, but not the other direction - does any one have any suggestions? Thank you!

With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook, so there is no need to change format (avoiding the consequent loss of fidelity that would entail). Just drag the files from the CD into your music folders, then add to the library in the usual way. Chris has already explained how you set the *Media Kind* to Audiobook. On the same tab you can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook.

Sharing MP3 files

Is there an update in the works that will allow MP3 files to
be shared with other? I can share midi files which are not as good
a quality. I have not tried a .wav file yet.

Hello lrcroft1,
Thanks for your post. We are not currently working on an
update to allow for sharing mp3 formats, we use to allow SWF
playback but it was blocked because of security concerns.
We do have a black list, MP3, AAC, MOV, RAR, WMV, OGG, FLV,
XVID, DIVX, TTF, DFONT, OTF, TGZ, 7Z, SIT, EXE, DLL, JAR, WAR, CAB,
JS, VB, BAT, CHM, CMD, COM, CPL, CRT, HLP, HTA, INF, INS, ISP, JSE,
LNK, MDB, MS, PCD, PIF, RETG, SCR, SCT, SHS, VB, WS, SH, CSH, TCSH,
KSH, BASH, ZSH, RM, DAT, AVI, MPG, WAV, CDA, VY1, WMA
You should be able to upload documents other than these
formats. Uploaded docs can be downloaded and preview will be
generated if we are able to do so.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers,
Pete

Square at the end of 90% of my tags., on my foobar2000 tagged MP3 files.

Most of (90%) of my foobar2000 taged MP3 files show on iTunes, with an ending square. Like this:
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4436/ituneshk8.png
Appart from some "ñ" on some tags, there are no other strange symbols or anything like that.
Have anyone had this problem before?

This is a problem with, almost certain, itunes lack of support for id3v2.4 standard.
You can solve that installing the latest version of foobar and going into advanced preferences and turning on the id3 tagging compatibility mode.
This will make writing the tags slower but solves the squares problem, and let's hope Apple solves this inthe next version.

How do you convert an MP3 file to play in iTunes.

I followed the directions in the Technical Support Section and when I highlight the file and click on it, the advanced tab doesn't allow you to highlight the "convert" option since it only appears in light grey. Any suggestions?

Ok. Are you sure that they are .mp3 files? In iTunes, highlight one of the offending files and Get Info. What does it say on the Summary tab next to format? Does it say MPEG-1, Layer 3? If yes, it's an .mp3 file. If not, what does it say. If it really is an mp3 file, opening it with Quicktime. What happens? If it's an mp3 file, it may have corrupted tag information. iTunes is rather sensitive to that. You can try going to the Advanced menu in iTunes and selecting Convert ID3 tags.... I'd choose version 2.4 and see if that helps.
Best of luck.

Importing mp3 files

I'm using Windows 8 with iTunes 10.7 on a new Sony laptop. I can't import tunes which I've uploaded to the new laptop into the iTunes library. Specifically these are mp3 files (rehearsal tunes for Rock Choir). They are in the iTunes Library on my iPad and iPhone but are not syncing and I can't find a way to add them manually to my library.

Lost ability to right click multiple files and choose 'open with'

In XP I can select a bunch of mp3 files, for example, right click and choose 'open with...' whatever application I want.
In windows 7 I only get 'open with' in the context menu on single files. How do I enable 'open with' for a selection of files? Please tell me Windows 7 hasn't disabled this useful behaviour.

Hi,
You can change the register key to realize the function.
For example, your mp3 player is windows media player, you can copy the following content (without quote) to the notepad and save it with the “.reg” extension.
The context is below:
Warning: While this procedure might solve the issue or problem, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

You should change the bold text with the path of your player. After you’ve changed the key, you can right click the chosen MP3 files and choose “open with player” to play the music.

What is the max size of a mp3 file you can add to an RSS feed?

I am working on adding a mp3 file to my website with an RSS
feed. I want to use it for a podcast. I am new to the xml language
and was using a freeware program to generate the script but it will
only let me upload a file around 10MB. My mp3 file is around 45MB.
Is this going to be too big of a file that will need to be broken
down or is there another way to do it? Does dreamweaver have
preformatted templates to make pages needed for podcasts? Thanks
for your time.

I don't understand. Why (or how) would you want to embed a
binary format in an xml file? What problem could this possibly
solve?
