Can you solve the Real Player mystery???

Hi Guys,
Was very pleased to hear of the Universal Binary release this morning as I access a lot of content on the BBC website. After downloading and installing I was shocked to see that I was receiving the following error when trying to listen to Radio Five Live.
The page “BBC Radio Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
Bizarrely, although displaying this message the radio show loaded in the background and started to play!? I tried it on some other BBC stations and it got even more curious.
Radio 1-4 load without a problem (no MIME warning, audio OK)
Radio 5-onwards(6,7,Asian Network etc) - radio plays but with MIME warning
Could someone please go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ and see if they are experiencing the same odd behaviour? I could at least try and understand it if all the stations were acting the same way but I'm completetly baffled.
Anyone have any ideas/fixes?
Cheers

I had the same experience last evening when testing the new UB version on the BBC. It happened for me on Stations 4 & 5. And yet inspite of the warning the broadcast started coming through AOK.
I think it may have more to do with the sniffers and feelers of the website, than with the iMac, Safari or Realplayer!
However, I just went back to re-test the situation and I didn't get the warnings, the Radio Player just opened and made the connection and started broadcasting the program!!

    HI Emmet,
    thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
    I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
    So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
    i hope that helps anyone out there also!
    Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.    
    Thanks again, much appreciated.

  • How can you move the Action Player in PSE9?

    My player is so far to the right that you cannot read all of the words or buttons and you cannot scroll through the actions.  How can I fix that?

    You can try hitting the Maximize button to fit pse 9 to your screen.
    Your screen resolution of 1920x1080 is fine.

    From your previous post, it sounds like at one point you are getting the pop up that says "installing device driver software," correct?
    If you are not getting this pop up in the lower right hand corner of you screen then I need you to:
    1. Try a different USB port on your computer. Some computer USB ports are "touchy" and if you try a different one it will work. It all depends on the make of the computer.
    2. Try a different USB cable. You might have a bad USB cable. Also, be sure that the USB cable isn't longer than 3ft long.
    3. Go into your device manager and see what printers have been installed. They should be listed under "printers" or "other devices" You might have to go to view and check show hidden devices to see these on your computer. If there is a yellow triangle or question mark on this device then you have a conflict with your computer. This is something in your computer causing this and not the software download.
    Keep me  posted.

    You can change the music player background image but you need to make a theme. You can do it on a website just do a search as i'm not aloud to put a link on here to the site, as there are some adult themes there that peeps have made, and fair does this site has kids coming on it to. But it can be done m8 as mine is changed but you carnt do it from in the phone buy just changing the image.

  • Can you add the entire content of your desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?

    can you add the entire content of desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?  when i click 'add' to allowable locations and type in file:///C:/Documents and Settings under website (i know it's not the website but where else would it be added) it doesn't show up in the overall list of allowable 'sites'.

    Hi radwh,
    Are you talking about trying to add your desktop to Flash Player's trusted locations? If so, you use the "Advanced" tab on the Local Settings Manager to designate folders and files as trusted. (Full path is Advanced->Developer Tools->Trusted Location Settings.) Here's a link to the documentation for that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l .
    Hope this helps, and get back to me with further details if this is not what you were asking.

  • Can you give some real-life use of tables in BW?

    Hi,
    In reading links and notes from here, I took a leap to try and understand how tables are used in the BW environment, by following:
    se16
    RSZ* then  F4
    then I Double click on:
    i.
    RSZRANGE        Selection specification for an element
    If execute, I get a table with a several fields with values.
    What is this table suppose to tell me and can you give me a real-life scenario where you made use of such a research to solve a problem?
    ii.
    RSZOPRATOR       Formula Operators
    similarly, here I found fields with operators and mostly numbers.
    What is this table suppose to tell me and can you give me a real-life scenario where you made use of such a research to solve a problem?
    iii. Later I tried RSU* then
    RSUPDDAT        Update rules key figures
    Nothing recognizable here about the update rules.
    What is this table suppose to tell me and can you give me a real-life scenario where you made use of such a research to solve a problem?
    iv.
    Also, sometimes here conversations like, research on which tables have the fields you need and let’s generate reports against them. I though tin BW, reports are always generated against data targets (ODS, Cubes, etc). I didn’t know of tables.
    Can you give a real-life scenario where you had to combine fields in 2 or 3 tables and use them in project?
    Thanks

    Amanda,
    There are many scenarios where you can use the tables behind the screen. But most of the times the scenarios are sophisticated requirement. Suppose your installation has many data targets and all are getting loaded nightly, weekly or even monthly intervals. Usually in most places the person on call will go and look at all the targets in the morning whether all the loads are successful (they would have beeped if something faild during loading at nights). Instead of going thru this manual process you can write an ABAP program which will look at the infocubes and ODS and see how many records were added, transferred, updated success or failure all kinds of information.
    RSA1 is just a front end and all the information you see are all coming from tables which are stored here. go to SE80 or SE11 and search for the tables behind the screens. Every bit of detail that you see is coming from tables or available in tables. There are many tables and they are all relational. So you can pretty much do anything you like in accessing them. Please just read (SELECT) from them. Don't try to delete, insert anything unless you know what you are doing absolutely.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck with your learning.
    Alex.

    Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
    There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Can you display the battery strength in numbers on home screen like you would for the signal?

    I know you can view it at the option/status arena, but can you change the battery strength display at the home screen to numbers like you would on the signal?

    BatteryPercent = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
    LabelField Label1 = new  LabelField();
    Label1.setText(""+BatteryPercent+"%"); 
    you can use the above code to display battery percent
