Creative X-Fi problems - large number of playlists and protected content

Hi,
Apologies if I'm posting to the wrong forum - please point me in the right direction!
I'm a developer, consulting for a client trying to launch a business around pre-loading mp3 players, and later updating the content and playlists on the player.
We're trying to load a Creative Zen X-Fi with 7000 pieces of protected subscription content (WMDRM Root and Leaf licenses) and about 400 playlists which point to this content. We're using the WMDM SDK (not the WPD/MTP Sdk) to load the content onto the X-Fi just fine. Building the playlists and loading them to the device usually succeeds, though we occasionally see a WMDM-specific out of memory error code. Later, we update (remove, then add) content to the device and replace all of the playlists after new content is added. This is very buggy, and we can't tell if we're hitting device limitations or what. Music and playlists are loaded into the Music folder and My Playlists folder, respectively - matching WMP behavior.
Some straightforward questions:
. After writing 430 playlists to the device (some contain > 000 songs) all is well. Playlists play as expected, therefore rights resolve ok. If I delete the playlists, then re-create these playlists again, it appears as though things are successful, though when I unplug the device it's screen goes blank. Hitting the reset button works around the problem, but customers won't like that.
2. When loading new content I periodically get C00D2779 - 'The file could not be transferred because the device clock is not set'. This is after a successful update of the root license. Is there something I can do to proacti'vely set the secure clock? I would think not - it's not very secure if I can set it - but I'm puzzled by this error.
3. Is there a documented limit (or any guidelines/help) on the X-Fi's limit on number of playlists, number of pieces of protected content, number of entries in a playlist?
4. Does Creative provide a developer's forum where my questions might get some tracktion?
Thanks - any help/pointers are appreciated!

Suggestion for a future release (Large number of playlists)

It would really be great if you could send a playlist to a connected iPod by right clicking on it. Instead of having to drag it. When you have a large number of playlists and you want to drag one from the bottom it can take 2 or 3 minutes just to get it to your iPod so you can drop it.
And before anyone says it I know that you can use Sync to transfer playlists to your iPod, but when your trawling through your playlists, sometimes auditioning songs so you can decide what you want to listen to on your travels next week, it would be a much nicer user experience to be able to send it to your iPod then and there.

Send suggestions directly to Apple via the feedback links in http://www.apple.com/contact/ The Discussions are end user to end user assistance and people at Apple do not regularly read these discussions.

PLAYLIST PROBLEM: I did a playlist and after synchonising with my ipod, the order of the songs changed both in itunes and in the ipod. In itunes the order came alphabetically and in ipod randomly. I wanted that playlist for a party. HELP! THX

Now I don't know what to do.
Thank you very much

Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This brings you to the Summary tab. Locate and click on the Music tab. What configurations do you have made from under this tab? Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

Video recording has large number of dots and arrows over the recording

My iPod nano was delivered today.
I've just recorded some video but the recording has large number of dots and arrows in a grid pattern all over the recording. It's unusable. Anybody have similar experience?

Can't say that I have. Have you read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide or gone through Knowledge Base for possible solutions?
Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. _If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for *two years* from the original purchase date of your iPod.

HT1386 I copied my my iTunes music from an old computer to a Macbook Pro, but it did not copy the playlists on my nano. How can I transfer the playlists and their content from the nano to the Macbook

I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

How do I create new versions of a large number of images, and place them in a new location?

Hello!
I have been using Aperture for years, and have just one small problem. There have been many times where I want to have multiple versions of a large number of images. I like to do a color album and B&W album for example.
Previously, I would click on all the images at one, and select new version. The problem is this puts all of the new versions in a stack. I then have to open all the stacks, and one by one move the new versions to a different album. Is there any way to streamline this proccess? When it's only 10 images, it's no problem. When it's a few hundred (or more) its rather time consuming..
What I'm hoping for is a way to either automatically have new versions populate a separate album, or for a way to easily select all the new versions I create at one time, and simply move them with as few steps as possible to a new destination.
Thanks for any help,
Ricardo

Ricardo,
in addition to Kirby's and phosgraphis's excellent suggestions, you may want to use the filters to further restrict your versions to the ones you want to access.
For example, you mentioned
I like to do a color album and B&W album for example.
You could easily separate the color versions from the black-and-white versions by using the filter rule:
Adjustment includes Black&white
or
Adjustment does not include Black&white
With the above filter setting (Add rule > Adjustment includes Black&White) only the versions with Black&White adjustment are shown in the Browers. You could do similar to separate cropped versions from uncropped ones.

Communicate large number of parameters and variables between Verstand and Labview Model

We have a dyno setup with a PXI-E chassis running Veristand 2014 and Inertia 2014. In order to enhance capabilities and timing of Veristand, I would like to use Labview models to perform tasks not possible by Veristand and Inertia. An example of this is to determine the maximum of a large number of thermocouples. Veristand has a compare funtion, but it compares only two values at a time. This makes for some lengthy and inflexible programming. Labview, on the other hand, has a function which aloows one to get the maximum of elements in an array in a single step. To use Labview I need to "send" the 50 or so thermocouples to the Labview model. In addition to the variables which need to be communicated between Veristand and Labview, I also need to present Labview with the threshold and confguration parameters. From the forums and user manuaIs understand that one has to use the connector pane in Labview and mapping in Veristand System Explorer to expose the inports and outports. The problem is that the Labview connector pane is limited to 27 I/O. How do I overcome that limitation?
BTW. I am fairly new to Labview and Versitand.
Thank you.
Richard
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Jarrod:
Thank you for the help. I created a simple test model and now understand how I can use clusters for a large number of variables. Regarding the mapping process: Can one map a folder of user channels to a cluster (one-step mapping)? Alternatively, I understand one can import a mapping (text) file in System Explorer. Is this import partial or does it replace all the mapping? The reason I am asking is that, if it is partial, then I can have separate mapping files for different configurations and my final mapping can be a combination of imported mapping files.
@SteveK:
Thank you for the hint on using a Custom Device. I understand that the Custom Device will be much more powerful and can be more generic. The problem at this stage is that my limitations in programming in Labview is far gretater than Labview models' limitations in Veristand. I'll definitely consider the Custom Device route once I am more provicient with LabView. Hopefully I'll be able to re-use some of the VI's I created for the LabView models.
Thanks

Large number of FNDSM and FNDLIBR processes

hi,
description of my system
Oracle EBS 11.5.10 + oracle 9.2.0.5 +HP UX 11.11
problem : ther are large number of FNDSM , FNLIBR and sh processes during peak load around 300 , but even at no load these processes dont come down , though oracle processes
come down from 250 to 80 but these apps processes just dont get killed automatically .
can i kill these processes manually??
one more thing , even after stopping apllications with adstpall.sh , these processes dont get killed , is it normal??, so i just dismount database so as to kill these processes
and under what circumstances , should i run cmclean ?

Hi,
problem : ther are large number of FNDSM , FNLIBR and sh processes during peak load around 300 , but even at no load these processes dont come down , though oracle processesThis means there are lots of zombie processes running and all these need to be killed.
Shutdown your application and database and take a bounce of the server as there are too many zombie processes. I have once faced the issue in which due to these zombie process CPU utilization has gone to 100% on continuous count.
Once you restart the server, start database and listener run cmclean and start the application services.
one more thing , even after stopping apllications with adstpall.sh , these processes dont get killed , is it normal??, so i just dismount database so as to kill these processesNo it's not normal and should not be neglected. I should also advice you to run the [Oracle Application Object Library Concurrent Manager Setup Test|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=200360.1]
and under what circumstances , should i run cmclean ?[CMCLEAN.SQL - Non Destructive Script to Clean Concurrent Manager Tables|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=134007.1]
You can run the cmclean if you find that after starting the applications managers are not coming up or actual processes are not equal to target processes.
Thanks,

I have lost all my captioning and keywording for a large number of .dng and raw files on transfer to LR6 CC - any help!

I have imported my old LR5 catalogue into LR6 CC but appear to have lost a lot of my captioning and keywording to a very large number of files which are either .dng or other raw formats. I am working on a Mac. Can somebody please help as I am very worried about losing vital information.
Thanks!
Gerry

OK, I may have pinned this down to the problem, and it may not be LR6 related. Reimporting my LR5 catalogue shows that the information is there on files that are marked as missing from catalogue (i.e. marked '!'). These are missing because I have renamed them, and it would suggest that the renamed file is not linking with the old .xmp file. Do you know of a way I can link the renamed file with the old .xmp file? Would I have to laboriously go through all my .xmp files and rename them for instance?

Need to blacklist (block) a large number of domains and email addresses

I tried to import a large number of domains into a transport rule (new/set-transportrule -name xxx -domainis $csv -quarantine $true).
I added a few domains manually and tested to make sure the rule was working. It was. Then I ran the cmdlet to import a small number of domains (4). That also worked. Then I ran the cmdlet on a large number of domains. The cmdlet
worked with no error message (once I got the list of domains well under 4096 bytes). I waited a day to see if the domains would show up in the rule. But the imported domains did not show up.
Is there a better solution to blocking large numbers of domains and email addresses? Or is the transport rule the only option?

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

Drawing problems in Minefield interface elements and page content

Some sort of graphic related problem with Minefield nightly builds.
I'm not an expert, but it looks like the problem is with semi transparent pixel drawing. Might this be related with graphics hardware?
Here is the screenshot, how it looks:
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2536/ffinterface1.png
In the picture the problem is well seen on the TAB headers and vertical line with a pattern in a page illustrates the problem in displaying transparent elements in page content.
When interactive interface elements are mouseovered (paticularly "close tab" buton), the distortion around changes.

Try the Builds forum over at MozillaZine, that's where all the "testers" hang out.

Removing a large number of playlists

I have my music transfered to the cloud and activated itunes match. Then i created a playlist with the music located on my iphone on my iPhone. Next time syncing my iphone, itunes stopped working and now i have thousand of empty copies of the playlist in itunes and on the iPhone. How do i get rid of them..?

Perhaps some hints in this thread will help: Re: After turning on iCloud/iTunes match, my playlist was duplicated 2000 times
You should browse the iTunes Match Forum, there are many similar threads.

Aperture to Lightroom move, super large number of photos and videos

Hi everyone. I am moving my photo and video collection from Aperture libraries to Lightroom. Editing is so much better in lightroom, but with image organization I run in into tons of problems. The biggest one is size. I have around 500,000 photos and videos. I have only imported 7,000 and preview catalogs are getting huge, 16Gbs right now. Would love suggestions on large photo/video storage management.

Just one thing for now: preview data size is controlled by automatically expiring 1:1 previews (or manually deleting them), and making sure standard previews are no larger than necessary - they can be medium or "low" (not that low) quality, and do not need to be larger than your monitor size (and can be substantially smaller, if preview storage is a primary concern). Also, note: previews can be relocated to another disk if the one where the catalog has to be isn't big enough - just make a link in the catalog folder to where the previews will actually be - not recommended except as a last resort: generally better to get a bigger drive (or relocate entire catalog folder) if possible..
PS - Don't make 1:1 previews upon import unless you really need them.

I am experiencing a large number of bugs, and I am seeking some help with fixing one or more of them; here is the list I have created.

32GB GSM iPhone5S 7.0.3 Bug List
- Reoccurring iOS crashes/reboots/restarts, under to specific circumstances:
• Sliding down notification center
• Sliding up control center
• Tapping the top area of the screen where the status bar would be, within full-screen applications that don't show the status bar.
• Tapping the bottom area of the screen where one would slide up to activate the control center, within full-screen applications that don't show the status bar.
• Configuring various different iOS UI/iOS App/3rd party App settings, from within the Settings App.
• Configuring various different iOS UI/iOS settings, from within the Control Center.
- Specific iOS App bugs:
• iWork apps freezing/lagging, even when no other applications are open and/or backgrounded.
• App Store not showing reviews properly (i.e., either: not showing all reviews, not show any reviews, and/or showing reviews in an incorrect order; I've confirmed these issues by checking app review details online, for an array of different apps, doing so both on multiple iPhone models, and on desktop computers. The apps show their reviews online on said mentioned platforms, but a large portion of them aren't showing any/all reviews properly within the App Store specifically.
• Reoccurring Siri-created reminders' specified reminder details are deleted, after having said reminder(s) created by Siri, when attempting to manually reconfigure one or more of said reminders' options.
- Specific iOS UI bugs:
• Notification Center "Today" section, Reminders' scheduled dates showing either black or white, intermittently.
* Please note that these issues are still present, regardless of the fact that I have already tried to fix them by reinstalling iOS7, hard-rebooting, and restating my iPhone.

Ad a new, temporary column (or one you can hide when not using). Let's say the current Prices are in column C and the new column is D.
you can inflate the prices in column C by 5% by entering the formula in the first cell of column D as:
=C2*105%
likes this:
to fill down, select D2, then copy, then select the D3 thru the end of the column, then paste. Now select C2 thru the end of column C, now paste over the existing values using the menu item "Edit > Paste Values"
you can now hide column D until you need to use it again.
