Can I develop a media player in Director?

Hi!
I want to develop an application (a media player) where you
could choose and play video and music files (stored at the
computer). I want the user to be able to fast forward and rewind
these video or music files as she like. It is really important that
you could hear the actual sound go fast when a music file is going
fast forward or rewind.
Do you think that I could use Director to develop this media
player? Or do you know an other program I could use instead?
I'm very grateful if someone could help me.
Best regards from Beeeaaa

Hi again,
I've tried to make a Director application which uses
QuickTime player to play a video file. But when I push the fast
forward and rewind buttons, the video isn't going that very faster
and most of all: you can't hear the sound going fast or
backwards!!!! If I use the original QT player, you can hear it, but
not when it's inside of an Director application. Why is this? Can I
change it so I can hear the actual sound go fast or backwards???
(I can't use the QT player by it self since it seems that I
can't change the user interface of it as I want.)

(HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod

How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod
We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. . or can they help us? PL E A SE E E HELLPPP!

tt2,
Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

Now I went and switched the part from <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

How can I use Microsoft Media Player with my new iPod Nano?

I do not like the iTunes player. I want to use the Microsoft Media Player with my iPod Nano. I dislike the iTunes player so much that if I don't get this resolved I will have to return the iPod Nano.

Michelle,
You can download media components for QuickTime which will enable you to play WMA files through QuickTime on your Mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-media-components-quicktime
Alternatively, Get the free VLC player for Mac, which will play almost all media types:
http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac
If the interview requires Windows Media Player to be running to conduct the interview, then I fear you may be stuck, there is not a version of Windows Media Player for Mac - It is for Windows. Your options in this case would be to borrow a Windows PC or install a valid copy of Windows on your MacBook under BootCamp.

How can i get windows media player playlists on my ipod nano

I have all the songs I'll ever need for my ipod but do I really have to burn all my songs onto a disk and then transfer that to itunes then to my ipod? There has got to be some kind of way that can help me transfer my playlists on windows media player to itunes. Can anyone help me?

Why would you need to burn all your songs to CD? iTunes will import your MP3 files (and non-protected WMA). Playlists cannot, but can always be recreated.

Gnome 3.16 Can't Suspend With Media Player Open

I have been seeing this problem since I updraded to Gnome 3.16. I use GDM.
Normally when I close the laptop lid, the computer is suspended (the power led changes color and starts blinking). But sometimes, when the lid is closed, the system seems to get stuck. The power led doesnot change color, and when I open the lid after some time, the screen is blank but I can't seem to wake it up. I can hear a slight humming (I guess it's the harddisk). I have to turn it off with the power button, and when I start the computer back there is a bunch of "Orpaned node removed" messages. The longer I leave the system in that state the more is these messages.
After a few hit and trial I figured out that every time the system went to that state there was some media player running (Rhymbox, VLC, Banshee, Audacious). They don't need to be playing, even when they are just open. So I guess the bug is in something common between them. Maybe they have some interface with gnome-shell or gdm to supress screenlock when they are playing and the bug is there?
Here is the output to uname -a
Linux squgeim-V5473 3.19.3-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 14:10:00 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

#IdleAction=ignore
#IdleActionSec=30min
#RuntimeDirectorySize=10%
#RemoveIPC=yes
I have tried uncommenting the HandleLidSwitch. When uncommented the system is not suspended at all.
Can someone point to any fix or to where exactly the bug is, so I can file a bug report.

This issue has since been resolved. I do not know how. I did a system update yesterday and it had updates for linux kernel and gnome, so maybe that was that.

I can't open Windows Media Player for Mac

I need to run windows media player for an important service i suscribe to, (mlb.com). I installed the mac version on the windows website, but I cannot open it because my mac says that I need to choose what application to open it with. I don't know what application I should choose to open it. I don't even know if i have the application to open it. Thanks for any help.

You might want to use Flip4Macinstead.
If you are downloading Windows Media Player you will also need to download Stuffit Expander as Microsoft have used Stuffit to compress the installation file and Tiger now no longer comes with Stuffit.
Once you have expanded the .sit file you can then run the Windows Media Player installer.

Can't use Windows Media Player or get WMV (Flip4Mac) to work on Snow Leopar

After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, a friend told me I could download Windows Media Player for free to view some mpeg files required for a class I'm taking. I googled Windows Media Player Mac Snow Leopard and downloaded the newest version, and nothing. The window opened to a garbled mess. I posted a question about this on this forum previously and was told to use Flip4Mac instead. I've tried to use Flip4Mac at least 20 times and nothing ever happens. Before Snow Leopard, I would download it and it would just not work at all. After Snow Leopard I down loaded it again and now it's telling me I must have Quick Time installed. I DO HAVE QUICK TIME INSTALLED! I have the icon for QT and it opens (toolbar at top,etc) when I click on it. But WMV(Flip4Mac) is not recognizing it. Can't they just fix the Windows Media Player or SOMETHING so I can do my classwork without having to run to someone else's computer? Does anyone know what I should do?

This may what you've already tried, but there's a beta version of Flip4Mac available:

Can I use Windows Media Player with my Mac?

    I am scheduled to have an interview via WEBEX and need to make sure that all the components of the Universal Communications Format are up and running. When I did a diagnosis check on my MacBook Pro, the Windows Media Player 9.0 or newer said I needed a plug in to run. Where can I find this plug in?
   Thank you!!

Can't start Windows Media Player-Newbe

I am not a computer person. Just bought a T61 and installed Kaspersky internet security. Now trying to get things up and running. When I click on Windows Media Player it flickers and does nothing. I right click and click "run as" and get a multiple choice window that either asks me to uncheck a box and it allows the program to open that one time, or attempt to log in as administrator. I can get into the program by unchecking the upper box and allow current user, but when I close the program I am back in the same boat as before, it won't open. If I try to log in as administrator using my password, I am rejected. I have verified my password, but no luck. Lots of security on this system. By the way, I am running XP Pro.......not vista. I don't know if I am failing to set up the player or authorize some feature initially, or falling prey to the Thinkvantage security set up, or running into Kaspersky. I notice Kaspersky gives me all sorts of warnings in general. Help... [email protected]

Hello,
I am not particularly familiar with Kaspersky Internet Security, but one thing that is typical with antimalware software is that when changing products, the old product has to be uninstalled completely before installing the new one. In some cases, it is also necessary to reset the TCP stack before installing new antimalware software as well.
Most ThinkPads I see have Symantec Norton Anti Virus pre-installed on them, so you will probably want to take the following steps to revert back to a "clean" state so you can load Kaspersky Internet Security:
Download a copy of the Symantec Norton Removal Tool from http://www.symantec.com/symnrt and save it to a location you will remember, such as the Desktop.
Save or print out a copy of Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 299357, "How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP"
Uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security from your computer. Reboot if prompted to do so.
Run the Symantec Norton Removal Tool you downloaded.
Follow the instructions in the Microsoft knowledge base article to reset the TCP stack [i.e., Open a Command Prompt (filename: CMD.EXE) and type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" and reboot once more].
Reinstall Kaspersky Internet Security.
If that does not work, then you might want to contact Kaspersky's technical support department and see what steps they recommend.

Can I download the media player for the 8350i onto an 8330?

I recently purchased a 8350i (but took it back because I don't want the Nextel feature from), however, I the media player on the 8350i was much improved from the 8330 from Sprint. Is there any way to download the media player that is on the 8350i onto the 8330?

You can't change just the media player. However, you can upgrade your OS on your 8330 to the latest and get a little better media player. Spring doesn't have a 4.5 OS update but Verizon and other cdma carriers do. Just use one of those. It won't be the same as on the 8350, though, I don't think.
