Can't play CD's with xmms

I cannot play CD's with xmms. My regular user account is a member of audio and optical as recommended by the Arch FAQ. I also checked the xmms preferences. I had to make onbe change for the CD Audio Plugin. The default setting is /dev/cd. I changed it to /dev/cdrom. I also clicked on Check Drive. xmms recognized my Audio CD, showed the right number of tracks etc. All looks okay.
But when I try to play a CD. I get the following error:

I got it to work! I didn't realize when I was trying to play a CD, xmms was looking in /dev/cdrom. To get xmms to play a CD, you must right click, select Play File, and navigate to the /mnt/cdrom directory. Then you can selecct one of the .cda files and click play.
I do not know why xmms was first looking in /dev directory. Strange.
Anyway, it works fine now.

Can't play some games with 7.0.4 - can't play videos without it!

My son has been having troubles playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on his powerbook for awhile now - it would crash on opening. We experimented last night, and discovered on the game site that they recommended not using Quicktime 7.0.4 for this issue. We downgraded to 7.0.1, and the problem is fixed. Now, however, he can't play the videos he has downloaded from the iTunes site without 7.0.4! Any suggestions or workarounds?

I'm currently playing RTC3 with QT 7.0.4. To prevent a crash when you start a new level wait a short while--about 30 seconds--before doing anything. I fought this same problem for a while, and was on the verge of returning the game after power cycling four times to recover from the crashes.
Since I've started waiting a bit, I haven't had a single lockup when entering a level. The key to the game is patience, it seems, though that's hard to manage sometimes.

Can CDHtmlDialog play swf file with audio component?

Hello, I'm using CDHtmlDialog in our application to play swf that shows user how to do a workflow. It works fine if swf does NOT have audio; if the swf has audio component, then it does not play.
Can CDHtmlDialog play swf with audio?
If not, any suggestion on how to implement playing swf file with audio?
Many thanks in davance.

Hi PingHu,
How do you play the swf file in a html. I tried play a swf file with audio in my CDHtmlDialog class. I just use this:
Html code Play the SWF file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="D:\html directory\swf filename.swf" width="400" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>
</body>
</html>
Then my sample is able to play a SWF file with audio. Hope this helps some.

How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?

I want to play two videos with only one MediaPlayer:
private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
private static Media mLogo;
private static Media mSaludo;
private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
private static MediaView mvLogo;
private static Group gLogo;
public void start(final Stage stage) {
mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create();
mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
stage.setScene(sActual);
stage.show();When I want to play mLogo:
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do this:
mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();But is impossible to change the Media. It doesn't work. Sometimes I play mLogo video and sometimes (depends on the code) the video mLogo doesn't start and I see an image of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exceptions, no errors, nothing.
I want to play mLogo and then mSaludo. How can I do this?
Thanks

Ok, I understand, if I have 100 videos I have to build 100 MediaPlayers but only one MediaView.
Here I post my code with only two videos, I included all the asynchronous errors.

Play can't play music purchased with another email address

I can't play music that was purchased with old email address on an older mac, how does that work?

If the tracks are DRM-restricted you'll need to authorize the computer for the Apple ID that was used to purchase the songs. Pull down Store > Authorize This Computer and type in the credentials for the Apple ID.

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 Can not play Video taken with ...

It is quite amazing that software by Nokia can not replay Video taken with phone by Nokia.
VLC player plays the video OK so the video (MP4) looks to be all right.
All thet Ovi says is that the video can not play. Format may not be supported .

I have the same problem, in that I can't get my video's recorded on the phone to play. If I try to double-click and play within Ovi Suite it crashes Ovi Suite, if I open Windows Media Player and try and run it then WMP crashes too (is Ovi Suite using WMO under the skin?) and the best I can get is when I try it with QuickTime I get sound from it but just black screen for the video.
So yes, I suspect it's a problem on my PC but can anyone give ideas on how to fix it?

Can't Play AVI movie with QT 7.1

I am unable to run this particular avi movie, Rendezvous, which I downloaded to my G5. All I get is a white background and a very intermittent/jerky sound. Also the total time of the movie gets doubled with QT Player which may account for the screwy sound.
When first launched the following notification comes up:
Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web Site. .......
The referenced site has a lot of codecs but I have no idea which one I need.
It plays just fine with VLC.
What do I need to add to QT 7.1 in order to play that particular movie? I have QT Pro 7.1 and the mpeg2 update.
G5 Dual-core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 250G HD, 22" Display, Mac OS X [10.4.6], 200/160GB FW, QT 7.0.4 Pro, Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, iVMP 3.0.2

Oddly enough, prior to downloading the video in question, I had just done a clean install of my OS, so no components were in the Quicktime Folder of my Library.
I downloaded DivX 6 from here:
http://www.divxmovies.com/codec/
Now, the only components in my Quicktime Folder (HD > Library > Quicktime) are the DivX6 Encoder and Decoder components.
I just relaunched Quicktime after the components were installed and the video plays fine in Quicktime. Using the converter is not necessary.
Here is a link showing the viddy on my computer:

Can Keynote play PowerPoint slideshows with audio intact?

I mean iOS Keynote on iPad and OS X Keynote on Mac OS X! To play PowerPoint slideshows with built in audio and not just throw up slides.

Keynote isn't at all good at dealing with audio, so whether it's worth trying largely depends on the content of your powerpoints and how many you need to transfer.
If it were me, I think I'd look at using OpenOffice - it may make a better job of things for you.

TS2972 Can't play TV shows with Home Sharing

I have home sharing turned on on both my home computer (a PC) and my Mac. When I try to play music, it works just fine, but when I try to play TV shows, all I get is a black screen. Help!

We are having this exact same problem - started happening after we did the software update tonight. Have tried restarting, resetting, and all the other obvious tricks. It seemed to work for a minute when we used the iPad ATV remote, but that stopped working after a couple of minutes too. We can play previews, and iTunes library stuff, but not movies or TV shows purchased via the ATV. We've got a new episode of game of thrones sitting there that we can't play - very frustrating!

Can't play old purchases with same account and computer?

I just downloaded movies I bought years ago on itunes. Same account as I have now, same computer. (I even found the videos by logging into my account and looking for past downloads) Yet I can't play them because it says my account is not authorized, even after I authorize my computer. I just deauthorized ALL my computers and reauthorized this one to be sure. Still nothing. I now have tons of movies and a few TV series that I paid for that I can't watch. Help.

Can't play video taken with iPad, sent by email

I've taken a video with my iPad 2, V6.0. I've tried attaching it to an email to send to myself, because people say they can't open any of the videos I send them. They're right! I can't either. The thumnail shows the video on my PC--windows 7 (64), but only audio plays, not any video. I've tried both Realplayer & Quicktime. Both the same result.
In a similar vein.....why are our pictures turned sideways when people receive them in their email??
Thanks for reading. Thanks for answers!

Pamela,
There is a compatibility issue between QuickTime 7.7.2 in Windows and iOS 6-emailed videos.
it's the combination of all three of the above underlined items.
also see: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19727109#19727109
or CoachMyVideo.com for an alternative: http://www.coachmyvideo.mobi/#!ios6/c13th
the sideways pictures has to do with whether or not the recepient's viewer can read the rotation matrix --> the information about what orientation the iOS device was in when it was recorded.

How can I play MP3 files with time capsule on a stereo set?

Hello,
Can anyone offer ideas/suggestions how to play my mp3 files (itunes) from a Time Capsule device? I use a plain Philip 5.1dts set. I would like to be able to select music with either my iphone, ipad ir macbook.
thanks, Anton

You will need to add an Apple - AirPort Express to be able to stream your iTunes data to your amp/speaker setup.

Can't play certian songs with iTunes

I am making the switch to iTunes from Windows Media. I have imported my music folder into iTunes but there are several songs that have an "!" mark to the left of the Title. When I click on the song to play, I get the message that "The song "Title" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". I click "Locate" and point iTunes to the file, the "!" will go away but when I click on the song nothing happens. The window on the top of the iTunes page will show the title and the length of the track but it won't play. When I right click the song and click "Show in windows explorer" it will show the folder the song is in and I can play the song via Windows Media Player so I know the file works but it won't play in iTunes. Can anyone give some advice on how to solve this problem or what might be causing the problem? Thanks.

First, make sure it is a valid MP3 and plays OK in WMP.
Then, find the file in Windows. Right-click it and choose Open With > iTunes.
If the file is OK, iTunes will start playing it. If iTunes finds the file to be incompatible, it will "error silently," i.e. do nothing. In that case, try treating the file with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator.

Can't play cd burned with disk utility

i have followed the the directions on duplicating a cd on this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1945.html
but the cd that i burned is not recognized by itunes or a regular cd player. can anybody offer any insight into what i may be doing wrong? i have burned cds using itunes and have had no problems with them in my player or computer, but i wanted to use disk utility for cds that i don't want on my hard drive.
cheers,
greg

gregod,
I ran across this sequence of instructions that may help when you are using Disk Utility to copy a disc:
4. From the menubar select File->New->Disk image from disk...
5. In the Convert window that appears select where you want to save the image - the Desktop is as good a place as any.
6. Again, in the Convert window select DVD/CD Master from the Image Format drop down menu
7. Click Save
I think the choice of DVD/CD Master needs to be made.
Hope this works. Let me know.
Regards,
Steve M.
