Changing application used for streaming

Hi all, I am going insane here.....
I want to listen to the radio online but for some reason their file now tries to open with VLC instead of the Windows Media Player that it needs. It used to work fine with WMP but VLC can't play it.
I've tried changing the preferences to always use this application on any WMA files I can find but it hasn't made any difference at all.
Does anyone have any clues?
Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
Out of curiosity, which web browsing program are you using to click the links to your online stations?
It could be that the Helper Application setting for that type of link got changed to associate your streaming radio to open with VLC now instead of Windows Media Player.
Just a thought... hope this helps a little...

How to change application action for all Firefox users?

Hi,
Is there any way I can change application action for all FF users. I am using Firefox admin 0.5.9.3 and deploy FF 3.6 through GP.
Thanks

You can change the system colors based on the system you are logging on to. We have many users here doing that. (Red for prod, Green for Dev, etc) You cannot use the Sap signature Design theme as it does not allow color changing. I explained this in another post and how to change it.
Re: Set Color for several system with sap gui 7.20
To answer your question on how to change this for ALL users... That I cannot answer as our user base differs and they change it as they wish. Hope this helps.

Hi naturalfemale,
As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
Additional Information
Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.
OS X: Using captioning features in Mavericks

At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

How do you change application used to play streaming file?

I can change the application used to open a file directly on my computer by going to the Get Info for the file. However, I am trying to get a streaming file to play using QuickTime instead of Real Player (it's a SDP file from a Darwin Streaming Server) and there is no file to "Get Info" on. Real seems to have the .sdp extension locked up. Long time ago, you used to be able to go to a control panel and change the default application for certain file types. I cannot seem to find that anymore under Tiger. Anyone know how to do this?

Ok, I sorted it out. You have to do the following:
a) Open System Preferences > Quick Time > Advanced > MIME Settings. Click on the "Streaming - Streaming movies" triangle to expand it and make sure that the button nest to "SDP stream descriptor" is checked. Quit System Preferences.
b) Launch Real Player and go to its Preferences > Media Types. Uncheck the "Real-Time Streaming Protocol" and "Scalable Multicast" buttons. Click on "Save Media Types" on bottom Left (if it ask you to quit your browser, allow it to do so). That should do it. As far as I can tell this does not affect the streaming of .ram files.

How to run/test application using network streams

Hello,
I'm confused on what steps to follow to test an application using the network streams feature. After reading a lot and going through other discussions I found 2 simple VIs on the last post here http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Network-streams-problem-with-cRIO-9022/td-p/1401576 (I attached the VIs, which I modified just a bit) which I believe have been tested before and work so I was trying to do the same in my desktop and it does not work. I get the same scenario when I was trying to test the code I wrote: no bugs, both VIs run but nothing happens.
According to the link above this is what is supposed to happen: "a PC hosts a GUI (see mainGUI.VI) that sends an array of doubles to the cRIO via one stream and reads a double value back via another. The cRIO, via the scan interface, reads the array via the first stream and writes an analog value to the host via the second (see mainRT.VI). "
The current set up is:
1. Add both VIs to the blank project with the target device cRIO (see attached screenshot)
2. Deploy mainRT.vi on the cRIO
3. Run both at the same time
Am I missing something?
Also, I have been reading that there are two ways of testing this. One running both VIs on the PC and the other actually using the targeted device, in this case cRIO. Is that correct?
Please help!
Thank you

Connections have TimeOuts, so you have a little "wiggle room" in deciding which to load first.
In my situation, one side is a Remote Real Time system ("Remote"), which has the behavior that when it starts up, it runs the code that I want, which includes establishing the Remote side of the Network Stream. I make all (four) streams use the Remote as the site whose URL (or IP) I need to know. I set them up so that if they time out (I think I may use 15 seconds), they simply close the connections and try again, exiting when all four connections are established, and going on to run the rest of the Remote code.
On the Host, the expectation is that the code is already running on the Remote. Accordingly, on the Host side, the Initialization sequence establishes the four connections, all using the IP (URL) of the Remote. I also use a 15-second timeout, but run it inside a second loop to allow three tries before I give up (and generate an Error Exit). Otherwise, if all the connections get made, I've got my Network Streams connected and can continue.
In this scheme, both the Host and Remote code are in the same Project. What I typically do is to Build the Remote code, deploy it, and set it to run as the Startup. If you are not dealing with a Real Time System, you might not have that option. But you should deploy your Remote code, and start both programs within each other's respective TimeOut windows. Since in my scheme the Remote Window is infinite, I (automatically) start it first, then start the Host. I haven't timed it, but I'd guestimate that the connections are established in at most a few tenths of a second.

Change attribute used for calendar authentication in LDAP

is it possible to change the attribute (default uid) calendar 2.1 or 5.0 uses for authenticating a user to LDAP

Hello Titou,
I don't know for your special case (this transaction) but in a user exit you can have access to global variables by using field-synbols.
Declare a constant like this:
constants : c_program3(30) TYPE c VALUE '(NameOfTheProgram)t_data'.
You can dynamic assign of fiel symbols to get this global variable in your user exit.
field-symbols : <k> type any,
<l> type any.
ASSIGN c_program3 TO <k>.
ASSIGN (<k>) TO <l>.
if <l> is assigned.
endif.
So if in your program you have the all your items stored in a global variable, you can then modify all of them.
Hope it helps.

Is there any way to change a title for streaming video in QT Pro?

I'm trying to follow several streaming feeds at the same time, all with unhelpful titles.
For example, this is the URL I'm using to view the ROV 2 feed for Discoverer Enterprise.
http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327
which results in the title, reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327.

Actually, what I was wanting to know is if I could just change the title while watching the streaming video rather than saving the feed. I can do this in a VLC playlist but I can't seem to figure out how to open multiple windows for feeds in VLC. Also, VLC doesn't let me go back in the cached feed to see and/or save snippets which I can easily do in QuickTime Pro.
I have been able to save the streaming feeds like this although I have the $30 upgrade for Flip4Mac which I needed to export for YouTube. There may be a way to do the same thing with something free but I know less than nothing about video and this worked.
Move the playhead slider to start of snippet
Type "i" to get slider for start of snippet
Move the playhead slider to end of snippet
Type "o" to get slider for end of snippet
Adjust the "i" and "o" sliders if needed.
Right click on the feed and choose copy.
Go to File -> New Player (command N)
Go to Edit -> Paste (command V)
Go to File -> Save (command S) and save as self-contained movie
After that I use the file I just saved with the directions on YouTube to export it to a file that will process on their site.
Here is an example that shows a ROV being lowered from the deck of its mothership into the water.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsYinE5cNx8
I saved it from this streaming feed which I loaded into QuickTime Pro (File -> Open URL or command U and paste URL). I seem to recall I needed the free Flip4Mac to view this in QuickTime.
http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:47175.asx?bkup=21144
I'm all set with what I want to do other than being able to change the titles on the feeds as I'm watching them in QuickTime Pro.

Airport Express - Discontinuous Audio when used for streaming music

I recently installed a new iMac with Leopard along with Time Capsule as the base station connected wirelessly to the iMac. Added Airport Express to this network and everything looks like it works after a couple of tries.
When I play iTunes on the iMac and select the Airport Express speakers, I get a discontinuous sound. iTunes plays the music for 10 sec, stops for a few sec, then picks up where it left off...repeat endlessly.
iTunes plays back fine on the computer's speakers.
Any thoughts on how to fix the discontinuous music streaming ?

1. Check to make sure that iTunes isn't hogging all of your CPU when it is running. If your CPU starts running at 100%, you will get audio dropouts. Make sure that unnecessary processes don't load at boot time.
ok, cpu is fine, between 0 and 25% when playing
2. In Quicktime, Edit -> Preferences -> Quicktime Preferences -> Audio -> uncheck "Safe Mode". If this doesn't work, then recheck. You should reboot to make sure.
DOne, rebooted, undone, redone, nothing helps
3. In Airport Express Utility, Wireless -> Wireless Options -> Check on Use Interference Robustness
also done
4. If you have a lot of wireless internet routers in your neighbourhood you can try changing your wireless channel. Netstumbler will show you what's going on in your area.
tried all of the 13 channels!
5. If using a router and your Airport Express is a client of your router, move the antennas on your wireless router. One of the antennae should be at a 45 degree angle from the router so that the two antennas don't cause a conflict with each other. (Imagine dropping two stones into a pool of water where the waves created by the stones are equal to the radio waves produced by your router; the waves hit each other and distort the path of each one; by moving one of the antennae on an angle, this conflict is avoided.)
antennas turned as you told me, still not better
6. In iTunes, you might try changing the following: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Change the buffer streaming to "small" (or one of the others).
done, and also tried "medium" and "large"....
7. If you are using a third-party router, and you are comfortable with changing the settings, and if you have this setting, you might want to try lowering or increasing the Beacon Interval.
not familiar with this, what is a third party router? I have one main router for adsl and digital tv, + trying to get airport working for music...
8. Of course, don't have a metal filing cabinet, or hollow tubes (yeah, even toilet paper rolls -- so no iTunes in the bathroom, please) -- as these would also interfere with broadcast.
no interferences, no metallic cabinet, no toilets around lol
what can I do more? give it back to the shop, buy a MAC computer instead of my pc? I think I'm going to give that thing back to the shop....
Thank you very much for all your help but here I'm realy, realy getting fed up with this. Either it should work perfectly, either not, but here, sometimes it works, sometimes not, and there's no appearant reason when it drops.....you'll never know when it's gonna happen and for how long.
So disapointed!

Apple TV - really not useful for streaming

I bought an Apple TV last week - I have 400GB of Apple Lossless audio files stored on my PC, and a number of TV shows in MPEG2 format, extracted from my Humax digital recorder.
The size of my media library means that syncing to the Apple TV's paltry 40GB HDD isn't an option, so I'm forced to use the ATV by streaming from iTunes.
First problem - whenever I shut down iTunes and turn off my PC (at night, for example) and restart it, ATV completely fails to be able to reconnect to the same library. Every time, I have to remove Apple TV from iTunes, go into the Sources menu on ATV, connect to iTunes, go back to my PC, enter the new passcode, and then streaming comes back up. This is, frankly, ludicrous. My Roku SoundBridge manages to remember a connection when the server PC shuts down - why can't ATV?
As I already have a SoundBridge, one of the main reasons for wanting an ATV was to get album art. But if you are streaming, ATV only seems to display album art that is embedded in each individual file - it can't make use of the iTunes album art feature, where artwork is stored separately to avoid bloat on the audio files.
Finally, the restricted choice of video codecs is ludicrous. I have video stored as DVD-standard MPEG2 program streams, but iTunes won't accept that, and QuickTime won't even convert it.
I wondered why, when I bought the ATV from the Apple Store in Bluewater, that the sales assistant told me, without my asking, that I had 14 days to bring it back in if I wasn't happy. I've never been told that in that past when buying anything - it does suggest a lack of confidence in the product. That said, I shall be taking advantage of it - the ATV is going back. I may buy another one in a few years when Apple have actually finished it...

• MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264) is in no way an inferior
quality format. It is in fact far superior to MPEG-2,
offering either smaller file size (better
compression) for the same quality or greater quality
for the same file size. It is the standard for HD-DVD
& BluRay, for most HD satellite services, & for most
terrestrial broadcasting (except in the US, where it
is being considered as an upgrade to MPEG-2 for
ATSC).
If you are truly concerned about file size or
quality, this is the format you should be using, not
MPEG-2.
A fair point - however, I do not believe that it is possible to convert MPEG-2 to MPEG-4/H.264 with no loss of quality. While MPEG-4 may well be a more efficient codec, not supporting native MPEG-2 results in lower quality DVD-sourced material, and I would contend that DVD is currently by far the largest source for content that people might want to display on their AppleTV.
• Apple TV is not sold as a media server but as
iTunes for your TV. You seem annoyed that the product
isn't something it doesn't claim to be. This makes as
much sense as complaining that a car you bought can't
fly.
Errr - no. I don't expect it to be a media server; I expect it to be a media client, which is what it is sold as. The fact that it ships with a limited size hard drive and then fails to offer full functionality as a client in a streaming system is my major complaint. It does indeed claim to be "iTunes for your TV", but what it actually is is "iTunes for your TV, as long as your combined audio and video library is no bigger than 30GB". (And yes, I do mean 30GB - it would appear that 10GB of the drive isn't actually usable for media files.)
• Providing MPEG-2 support is a necessity for any
standard DVD player, & for that reason the cost of
its license is built into every player on the planet,
including those in computers. However, that license
only grants one right: to decode DVD content coming
from the player. To do anything else, you need a
license with more rights. If you don't like this
licensing arrangement, complain to the licensing
authority (& good luck with that), not to Apple. The
latter makes as much sense as complaining to Apple
about Windows licensing arrangements.
Other vendors of competing products have included MPEG-2 codecs and (presumably) the appropriate license. It is technically possible to run the MPEG-2 codec on AppleTV, as hackers have already managed to do so. To avoid including this capability because Apple weren't willing to negotiate a license is ludicrous. The MPEG-2 codec is available from Apple as a QT plugin for $20 - an MPEG-2 license would not have added significantly to the cost of an Apple TV.
• If you feel the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200 better
suits your needs, why not just buy it instead & skip
the rant? This is a support forum intended for help
with & discussion of the features of Apple TV. It is
a good resource if you are interested in pre-purchase
information or resolving post-purchase issues. It is
not a support forum for emotional release issues
(venting). There is nothing wrong with that -- in its
proper place, it's probably healthy -- but this just
isn't that kind of place.
Fair point, but in that case, would someone like to correct either of my assumptions (if they are indeed incorrect):
1. A streaming connection to AppleTV is broken to the point that it must be deleted and reinstated from scratch if the server PC is shut down and restarted.
2. A streaming connection to AppleTV cannot display album art from the iTunes database unless that art is also embedded in every audio file streamed.
Nowhere in any of the publicity for AppleTV does it suggest that you get reduced functionality when streaming compared to when syncing, and yet on these two points, it is (as far as I can tell) deficient. If all I wanted was a 30GB media library connected to my TV, I'd have plugged in my iPod - if AppleTV does not offer full functionality in a streaming environment, I can't see what it's for, which is why I'm a little peeved.

Change field used for Mailing Labels

Hi. I am a new Mac user and I need help with mailing labels. When I print my labels, I want to use a custom field - Label Name - as the first line on the label, rather than the name of the contact. Is there a way to do this? For example, I might have a contact name of Joe Johnson, but I will have The Johnsons as his Label Name for sending holiday cards, etc. I don't want to change all my contact names to these appropriate label names. Is there a way to configure the mailing label to print the custom field rather than the first and last name? Thanks for your help.

I have this same complaint. Prior to Snow Leopard, there was a feature in Address Book that automatically combined the name on an address book entry with a related name (spouse). I used that feature and adjusted my Address Book so that it worked for me. Unfortunately Apple deleted the feature in Snow Leopard without giving a reason or a tenable workaround. See kb article #HT3952 for details.
I imagine the feature was deleted because it was somewhat surprising and confusing. Still it WAS a feature and there IS NO WORKAROUND. I investigated writing an AppleScript, but decided it probably couldn't be done. I ended up printed labels this year using a kludgey mail merge with Microsoft Word. A lot of work and still not fully satisfactory.
Apple, please add a feature to replace the old method!

What is System Change Option Used For?

Hi,
I need help on security.
we use scc4 settings for client protection. the settings are 'No changes allowed' for client-specific objects and 'No Changes to Repository and cross-client customizing objects' for cross-client object changes.
system change options are set to 'Modifiable'. what is the difference between these settings? Is there any situation that may cause problems?
thanks,
- ferudun

Hi ,
      No Changes allowed flag is explained as below
This flag means that changes in the customizing settings of the client
are not permitted (client lock).
However, customizing settings can be exported from the client by manual
creation of a transport request. A manual transport can be carried out
in the particular transaction for settings with the function Transport,
which places the selected customizing settings in a transport request.
In a productive client, the customizing settings that can be maintained
as "current settings" are excluded from the client lock; this means that
current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be
maintained in the productive client
For 'No changes to Repository and cross cleint customizing objects' explained below
   o   Changes to the Repository and cross-client Customizing permitted
       There are no restrictions on the maintenance of cross-client object
       for the client when this setting is used. Both cross-client
       Customizing objects and objects of the SAP Repository can be
       maintained.
   o   No change to cross-client Customizing objects
       Cross-client Customizing objects cannot be maintained in the client
       with this setting.
   o   No change to Repository objects
       With this setting, objects of the SAP Repository cannot be
       maintained in the client.
   o   No change to Repository and cross-client Customizing objects
         Combination of both restrictions: Neither cross-client Customizing
objects nor objects of the SAP Repository can be maintained in the
client.
Please reward if useful.

Changing query used for details

Hello,
I have generated a table-form with JHS10.2.1, based on a query like
select *
from projects
If the details-button is clicked, I want to see more details then only those of the table projects, so I would like the detail-form to be based on a query like
select prj.*, ot.col_x
from projects prj, other_table ot
where ot.project_number=:1
in which :1 is projects.project_number of the selected record.
How can I achieve this, without needing to prevent some files to be regenerated?
Thanks in advance,
Helmut Steeman

Helmut,
You have two ways to generate this:
1. change the ViewObject of the group and join directly with the other_table without using a bind parameter. Set "display in Table" to false for the attributes of the other table.
2. Create a child group for the other table with layout style form and same page to true.

Can an iPod touch be used for streaming via wifi from iTunes ?

Hi,
I suspect the answer is 'No' but I'd love someone to tell me otherwise.
Thanks
-Mat

You can also use Tversity to stream audio and video content from your PC to the iPhone or iPod Touch.
http://tversity.com/home
There are some crippling limitations, however:
1) It appears that right now, all videos need to be transcoded to iPod format before they can stream. And unlike streaming via the Xbox or other devices, the transcoding has to completely finish before you can stream the video, whereas other devices allow you to transcode and stream on the fly.
2) There doesn't appear to be a way to shuffle music or use playlists. So if you stream music, you can only play one song and then use the interface to select another... it won't keep playing from a playlist or automatically go to another song.
I can confirm, however, that the streaming does indeed work with the iPod Touch, not just the iPhone. I tried it myself and it worked, but the limitations above make it impractical for me to use regularly. Perhaps the folks at Tversity will be able to add more features over time.

How can I change the use for iCal

I currently use iCal so that my iPad, iPhone and iMac are all synch'g. So far it has worked seemlessly until now at least!
My iTunes account is setup under my wife's name so iCal is actually listed through her. This has never been a problem but I just realized that when I accept and invitation to a event on my calender it lists it as my wife's name not mine. Can I change that without affecting all of my calenders?

So far I have been able to change the name that was listed under iCloud under ical's user settings. It didn't change the name that was listed on my event that i already responded to. ANyone know if this would make the difference?
