Client-side default to low quality

Hi all,
I have a very slow computer (700 Mhz PIII with 358 MB ram).
There are certain videos and applets that almost crash my computer
upon loading in to Firefox, but run very smoothly when I set the
Quality setting on the right click menu to "low".
What I'd like to do is force any SWF that loads in a Web
Browser to use the "low" quality setting, whether the SWF author
likes it or not. Any SWF that loads must, must, use the "low"
quality setting whether that setting is available on the menu or
not.
Is this possible? If not, it absolutely should be for slower
computers.
TIA

You will need to use mozilla firefox and the greasemonkey plugin. using this setup you can force most flash pages to low quality.
Take note adobe, if you keep enforcing your ideas and ideals on me i will disable the flash interpreter for all but the pages that require it to be able to read them.
i'm tired of ads on web pages using 95% of my cpu (yeah thats right bigpond i'm watching you). for a start you havn't asked my permission to use my cpu and you aren't paying the electricty bill or my bandwith bill which you would need to do to be able to legally force this.
Also do not moderate or change my post as this will only increase my distaste with your company

Possible to force Flash to default to "low" quality setting globally??!!

I really hate all the flash-laden websites around these days. I know that it is the way of the present, but is there a way to force the Flash plugin to default to the low quality resolution setting globally? I would do backflips of joy if that were the case. I have searched high and low for a solution, but I have found none.
Thank you!

This is what I did to auto set a master page for all new sites.
1)Create a new blank vs solution
2)Set the site url to your site collection
3)Add new item->event receiver
4)web events->a site was provisioned
5)

properties.Web.MasterUrl =

How to set up LOW QUALITY as a default in FlashPlayer plugin

I don't have very fast computer. I would like to view all flashes on websites in LOW QUALITY. It is possible by right-clicking on a flash and changing the quality from HIGH to LOW. How to set up the FlashPlugin for Internet Explorer (8.0.6001.18702) that all flashes are displaying in LOW quality? I have FlashPlayer version 10.2.152.32

Fetching a partial range of selected result rows from the client side

It has been a while since I started trying to solve this Oracle puzzle.
Basically, what I need it is a way to fetch from the client side a run-time
defined range of result rows of a arbitrary SELECT query.
In low-end databases like MySQL I can do it simply by appending the LIMIT
argument to the end of the SELECT query statment passing the number of
the first row that I want to be returned from the server from the total
result rows available in the result set and the maximum number of rows
that it may return if available.
In higher end databases I am supposed to use server side cursors to skip
any initial rows before the first that I want to retrieve and fetch only
the rows I want up to the given limit.
I am able to achieve this with PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL server, but I
am having a hard time with Oracle. The main problem is how do I fetch
result rows from a server side cursor and have their data returned to a
client side in a result set like in a straight SELECT query?
I was able to create a cursor and fecth a row into a server side record
variable with the following PL/SQL code.
DECLARE
CURSOR c IS SELECT * FROM my_table;
my_row c%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c;
FETCH c INTO my_row;
CLOSE c;
END;
I want to do this from PHP, so I don't have client side ESQL variables to
store the result set data structure. Anyway, if I can do it just with
SQLPlus I should be able to do it in PHP.
If I do straight SELECT I can get the result set, but in a PL/SQL script
like the one above I don't seem to be able to select the data in the
fetched row record to have returned to the client. Does a straight SELECT
query sends the result rows to a default client side variable?
If anybody can help, I would appreciate if you could mail me at
[email protected] because I am not able to access this forum all the time in
the Web. BTW, is it possible to access this forum by e-mail?
Thanks in advance,
Manuel Lemos

Hello Jason,
On 03-Feb-00 05:34:14, you wrote:
I'm not sure I totally understand your problem, but I think you might be able
to solve it by using the ROWNUM variable. ROWNUM returns the sequenc number
in which a row was returned when first selected from a table. The first row
has ROWNUM = 1, the second has ROWNUM = 2, etc. Just remember that the
ROWNUM is assigned as soon as it's selected, even before an order by. So if
you have an order by clause, it'll mess it up. Here's an example. I hope
that helps.I though of that before but it doesn't help because if you use ORDER BY the
first result row might not have ROWNUM=1 and so on. Another issue is that
I want to be able to skip a given number of result rows before returning
anything to the client.
The only way I see to do it is to get the rows with server side cursor.
But how do I return them to the client? Where does a normal select returns
the rows? Isn't there a way to specify that the fetch or something else
return the rows there?

Client side "Buffering..." issues

I am having issues with the client side on different devices once they click on play. I've tried a single bit-rate, multi bit-rate and they seem to get "buffering..." and it sits there or goes to a black screen. When I check the performance of the stream, I'm getting very good readings (20% CPU, 10% memory and 2 Mbps total bandwidth consumtion). I have fiber at my office running 20/20 which is plenty of bandwidth to support 3 streams. I've tried various frame rates and bitrates using H.264 and AAC. Ran accross a grat article/calculator for optimal frame dimensions and bitrates for Flash video (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/apps/flv_bitrate_calculator.html). In FLME, my last configuration was as follows:
As you can see, I'm using 3 streams and total bandwidth consumption is 2019 which using Robert Reinhardt's calculator is more like 2400-2500. Still plenty at 12% of bandwidth consumption. I've tried knocking it down to a single stream (lowest footprint) and still get the "Buffering..." issues. Any ideas here?

SE_0208,
I know your probably in a different time zone (other than PST), so I'm going to try to catch you before you start your day. Anyway, I've made a lot of progress yesterday. This is what I have so far
1. FLME SETTINGS
Take a look at my screen shots. When I start with 29.97 fps, the Encode Log -> Statistics show 16/15 fps. Why is that? It's not a bad thing, but then when I play with some of the camera settings and restart, it sometimes jumps to 29.97, but then I suffer dropped frames and that's not a good thing. Does those bitrates look okay to you? Also, is there a tool that would allow me to see what client is connecting to what stream? That sure would be very helpful since I'm having "Buffering..." issues on an Android phone running 3G. I'm always trying to test on my slowest link and can't tell whether birrate switching is occurring or better yet, what stream the device is using.
2. FMS - APPLICATION.XML
Made a lot of headway here. This is my application.xml file that I put in the /applications/livepkgr directory. What do you think of the settings, specifically the Client Bandwidth section? Is there any type of formula I should use when setting this value. What I bascially did was take my "Overall bandwidth required to stream" from FMLE (3233 kbps) and add some headroom. Keep in mind I have 30/30 where the FMS server lives:
<Application>
<StreamManager>
        <Live>
            
            
            
            
            <AssumeAbsoluteTime>true</AssumeAbsoluteTime>
            
            
            <PublishTimeout>0</PublishTimeout>
        </Live>
    </StreamManager>

            <ClientToServer>4500000</ClientToServer>
        </Bandwidth>
        <MsgQueue>

                <MaxAudioLatency>2000</MaxAudioLatency>
                
                <MinBufferTime>2000</MinBufferTime>
            </Live>
            <Recorded>
                
                <MinBufferTime>2000</MinBufferTime>
            </Recorded>
            <Server>
                
                
                
                
                <BufferRatio>0.5</BufferRatio>
            </Server>
        </MsgQueue>
    </Client>
</Application>
3. M4V, LIVEEVENT.HTML and MANIFEST.XML FILES
First off, I renamed the manifest.xml file in the \applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent folder. Didn't seem to affect anything. I used the F4M generator to create two files (liveevent.f4m and liveevent.m3u8) and put them in webroot. I created an HTML file called liveevent.html from the Sample Video Player and put that in the webroot as well. Should I be changing both manifest files (liveevent.f4m and liveevent.m3u8) when I change the bitrates in FLME so that they match? Here are the files:
LIVEEVENT.F4M

One last question (if there isn't enough already ), I notice a 30-60 second delay between the stream and the client (end-user). I noticed that it varies from user to user and is probably due to their bandwidth. Since I want it as close to "Real Time" as possible, is there any tweaks that can shorten that up?
Thanks for all your help, You've definitely steered me in the right direction!
Ciao,
Gio

Print text file to client side printer

Hi all,
I have a character mode report which will print to a client side dot matrix printer in 6i. After converted to 10g, we cannot print to the client side printer (because we don't want to map so many print queue from the AS).
So, I try to generate the report to a text file, then use webutil to transfer the txt file to the client PC, and then use Client_HOST to call the window PRINT command to print the text file to the client side printer.
I have test this is successful, however, when I try to do the same thing to a report with Vietnam character, then it is not.
The print request is sent to the printer, but the printer have no response.
But that file can be print successfully if I open in Notepad and then print manually.
I try to use window TYPE command and COPY command, but still have no luck.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for this....
Thanks!

Are u using Run_Product function in the when button pressed,
then u can specify the format in which u want the output, option

How to Print Crystal Report without any dialog message on the client side

Hi!
I've read too much questions like this, but i can't find any answer.
How can i print a report on the client side directly?
I have three buttons, "Generate Report", "Generate PDF", "Print".
I want when the "Print" button was clicked, automaticaly the report is printed using default printer, like PrintToPrinter function, but in the client side.
Thanks!

If you search for previous posts about this, you will see many posts saying not possible. If this functionality was possible, you could essentially have a page that would send something to a clients printer just by visiting the page, how bad of security hole would that be?

Crystal report printing in client side

Hi ...
I have using asp.net web app with crystal report version 10.5.3700.0
I have uploaded the project and database in the below link. Check out.
http://www.2shared.com/file/vHTSGl13/ASPnet_Webapp_using_CR_Rpt_Pri.html
http://i52.tinypic.com/2rdds7d.jpg
I have few requirement in the crytsal report asp,net page:-
1) If user click Print button of crystal report viewer toolbar then it goes to PDf then its show me all of my pages instead of showing me the current page on which i click print.
2) I want to use client side print..if user click on a my print button then i need to show print dailogue like image above in that if user click print then i need to print that current page.. let us consider im viewing I3 Invoice number using Crysatl report viewer Navagition then it show me as 3/7 in toolbar if user click on my print button then i need to print the page 3 only.. coz user clicked print on Page3.
3)My asp.net web app is in Hosting server if user click my print button then i need to show client print dailogue and it will show my cleint connected printer. Here crytsal report toolbar and other things should be hide. It should be like what we have designed in crystal report that alone should be get printed.
4) One more thing i want is if user gives I4 invoice no. in my textbox1 then click view report button then it will show that Invoice Report now its shows two pages, here if user click print then i need to print two pages coz it has two pages...
Please do a code using my webapp which is above and waiitng for your codes..
Thank you
Note: please do a code so that i can know, i already visited some of the website like http://aspalliance.com/ i didt undertstand how to do so im posting here to get a code.

*i tried this also but it show me the same only hosting server printer not a client side printer*

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

- Update:
* Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Adobe.
When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
than based on the thumbnail cache.
When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
use Elements Editor for this purpose.
Thank you,

* My reply on this to Adobe is:
"Hello Bobby,
thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
* If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.

Can we create export dump files on client side??

Hi,
Please see this link
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#i1010293
Check the "NOTE" which says that
All Data Pump Export and Import processing, including the reading and writing of dump files, is done on the system (server) selected by the specified database connect string. This means that, for nonprivileged users, the database administrator (DBA) must create directory objects for the Data Pump files that are read and written on that server file system. For privileged users, a default directory object is available
So does this mean, the dump files can be created only on the server???
What if i want to create the dump file on my client c:\
Is it possible??
As per my knowledge, this was possible in 9i
Thanks

Yes in the "orignal" export ,it was possible to have a client side dump file.But the Export DataPump uses the Directory parameter which maps to a directory on the server side only and the option to give an absolute path for the dump file on the client side is removed,the files can be only on server side.

Clone Rows - Tabular form - Client side add rows

Hello all,
I feel in love with this particular Tabular form, http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:49 because of the Capabilities it has to create a "clone row".
a very advance feature I like a lot.
The trouble is when I go under >Report> and select which columns I would like to view, some will be hidden with default values.
the default values I would like to keep hidden are: a Time Stamp, and :APP_USER.
So when the user decides to clone a row the first original row will stay intact with all the information including the hidden values, but as for the cloned rows the hidden values are missing.
Is there something missing in the javascript that permits this from happening?
Please Help.
<script type="text/javascript">
var g_this;
function fn_delete(pThis)
var l_tr=$x_UpTill(pThis,'TR');
l_tr.parentNode.removeChild(l_tr);
function fn_CloneRow(pThis){
g_this=pThis;
l_tr=$x_UpTill(pThis,'TR');
l_table=$x_UpTill(l_tr,'TABLE');
l_tbody=$x_UpTill(l_tr,'TBODY');
l_clone=l_tr.cloneNode(true);
html_RowHighlight(l_clone,"D0D0E0");
l_inputs=l_clone.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var j=0;j<l_inputs.length;j++) {
l_this=l_inputs[j];
if (l_this.type=="hidden") l_this.value="";
if (l_this.name=="fcs") l_this.value="zzzz";
if (l_this.type=="checkbox") l_this.parentNode.removeChild(l_this);
// Change Clone functionality to Delete
var l_img=l_clone.getElementsByTagName('img')[0];
l_img.src="/i/delete.gif";
if (document.all) l_img.onclick=function(){fn_delete(this)};
else l_img.setAttribute("onclick","fn_delete(this)");
l_tbody.insertBefore(l_clone,l_tr.nextSibling?l_tr.nextSibling:l_tr);
</script>

I have't looked at the specific clone-row sample code you mentioned in your post, but just wanted to point out that we've introduced client-side add-row functionality in APEX 4.0, so if you're using this code to add new rows on the client-side, then using the built-in functionality might be easier. Of course if you actually want to get a copy of an existing row, that might not be sufficient. As for the MRU process, the way APEX identifies new rows is by looking at the primary key or ROWID column value, which needs to be NULL. APEX also looks at the apex_application.g_fcud array, which holds information for each row on whether to do an create, update or delete. This array was introduced in APEX 4.0, and that's what could potentially be causing your example to fail after the upgrade.

How to 'client-side include for secondary menu on page'

Hi there.
The following page refers:
test page for early
draft
The linked page is in fact a DW CS3 tmp preview file, for
that reason the CSS has been pulled into the html file by DW, it
won't look that way in the eventual page file.
After lengthy battles with the Spry Horizontal menu, I
eventually resorted to Pop Menu Magic 2 (PPM2) to generate menus.
I'm very happy with the product (I'm not looking for PPM2 support,
but rather support pertaining to CSS-driven menu's in general
relating to caching). I started out with a single main navigation
menu, which was very comprehensive - but also very big (ito file
size). I was hoping to cache a part of the menu on the client-side
to reduce download times once the site visitor has downloaded the
first page in the site (where he enters the site is not
applicable). But that proved impossible (I think...).
I then followed some advice to break up my main navigation
menu, keep only the more important stuff in there and rather
distribute the lower levels of the main menu into their own
dedicated menus. From there the page linked above.
The main menu at the top is fine, no problem there. On the
left below the masthead I've created two menus, one above the other
(it displays as a single menu but the first menu ends above the
"Other tour lists" item). The first of these two menus contains the
bulk of the heavy navigation elements (±160kb of the total
page file size of 220kb). The div info that applies to this menu =
<div id="p7PMM_2" class="p7PMMv06">. I'd love to cache this
menu, either in full or the bulk thereof, on the client-side. That
is implement a client-side include. When a visitor first enters our
site the include file with the 160kb (secondary) menu gets
downloaded together with CSS stylesheets, etc. When the visitor
links through to a following page in our site, his machine
(client-side) dishes up the menu to that next page without having
to download it from our hosting server a second time.
Is this possible and how? Any and all suggestions will be
appreciated!
Our clients are mostly wealthy and thus probably (virtually)
all have high-speed broadband connections. I seriously doubt that
any of them are running dial-up connections. Thus this issue is not
going to sink our site. But I'd love to cut page file size if
possible.
Furthermore, I'm not too worried about the small portion of
visitors that may have their javascript disabled in their browsers.
The main navigation menu at the top of the page will still allow
them to navigate the site. Much the same goes for SEO.
I've tried one or two CSI javascripts and succeeded in
actually getting the relevant tags and contents inserted in the
html document, but the javascript would then 'break'. That is all
the coding and menu contents would be there, but the javascript
won't function (menu's won't pop / fly-out). I'm a little clueless
when it comes to Javascript, and many other things :-), but I
suspect that the Javascript in the include file does not get
called. If the Javascript is kept in the html file, the menu
content (elements) in the include file arrives in the html file
after the relevant script has been called and doesn't get
rendered??
Once again any help / suggestions will be appreciated!

> But that proved impossible (I
> think...).
Even without doing anything on your part, the images, the
CSS, and the
javascript is already cached client-side. You cannot cache
any of the
structural code client-side.

Low quality export for stop motion animation stills from Canon 5D Mark ii

Thank you very much beforehand to anyone who is willing to look through this issue, it's been a long and frustrating process so far...
I am attempting to put together a stop motion animation in Final Cut Express but my exports are always either low quality, or medium quality and stretched. I am shooting on a Canon 5D Mark ii set to take pictures at 21M 5616x3744 [999] (though I'm not entirely sure what the 21M or 999 mean).
When I first assembled my stills (unedited or altered in any way) and exported, it looked like this:
A relatively drastic loss in colour and quality. This was achieved exporting through quicktime conversion using the following settings:
Compression Type: H.264
Compressor Quality: Best
Size: 1920x1080 HD
Preserve aspect ratio using: Crop
Deinterlace source video: unchecked
Unhappy with the result, I went through hours of testing and researching which only yielded a result after I discovered the control-Q Easy Setup menu. I tried setting up as an apple intermediate codec using HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 at 29.97 fps. I kept the export settings the same as above, but knowing that I was now working with a canvas that keeps to the 16:9 proportions, I tried cropping one of my stills in photoshop to fit that 16:9 ratio.
I then imported my 16:9 cropped still and an unedited JPEG version from my camera and exported the resulting 10 second video. The result was better quality, but still noticeably degraded from the original stills. More importantly, both the cropped 16:9 and the unedited JPEG were stretched out of proportion as seen below (16:9 version):
Of course I forgot to note the original settings on Easy Setup so I can't figure out how to get back to the original lower quality, yet undistorted image (not that I want to do that). I tried numerous different sizes for the export including changing the Crop (when necessary) setting to letterbox. Nothing worked.
The canvas, however, immediately looked 100% better after switching the Easy Setup to HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 at 29.97 fps. It held the improved quality without distorting the image:
I'm not sure if there's any hope of having a great image quality, but at very least I would like to be able to export at the decent quality of the second screenshot without the stretching and cropping.
I need to have this resolved ASAP for work, I've already wasted too much time here. Any help is so appreciated, I'll be active in providing whatever additional information that I can to responders, though please keep in mind that I'm relatively new to all this, I don't know where to find everything

I've decided just to try to get back to the export that I showed in the first screenshot. That result came before I started tampering with the Easy Setup. Like I said, when I changed the setup the canvas quality improved drastically and the dimensions seemed to fit much better, but the export was vertically stretched and cropped. I just reset my FCE settings and it turns out the default setup is DV-NTSC, but it's giving me a terrible quality still...
I just want to get back to that second screenshot's quality.. Could someone suggest what I should switch the easy setup to for importing stills from my Canon 5D Mark ii to yield the right results?
