Dmp 4400 can't play local files

I am using a DMP-4400 with firmware v.5.2.2. The unit connects to the network fine and is able to display webpages from the internet without problem; the ftp server is working fine also. However, when I attempt to play any type of local file ( located at /tmp/ftproot/usb_1/) the screen remains blank. I am assuming that the files are being found because the failover URL is not being displayed for either .mpg or .html files. I am using MPEG-1 type video files for testing. I have attached one of these videos along with a sample .html file I am planning to use to loop multiple files.
Video files are being run using:
"/tmp/ftproot/usb_1/melt.mpg" entered into the 'Local Storage Path' dialog under 'Play Video File Stored Locally' within the GUI.
HTML is being launched using:
"file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/play-local-mpg.html" entered into the 'URL' dialog under 'URL To Be Displayed' within the GUI.
These problems persist whether the files are located on internal memory or external USB drive. Any help will be much appreciated.

Peter,
I was able to fix it, The issue seems to be with the content, I transcoded it with VLC Player to MPEG-TS and it works. Kindly find the attached transcoded file.
Use
var playlist = new Array(
"file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/test1.ts"
If this answers your concerns please mark this post as "Answered"
Thanks,

QT Plugin 7.1.5 can't play local files

I have several webpages that use the embedded quicktime plugin to play movies on the page. These movies are large so they are downloaded to the local machine in advance where the plugin plays them from the local file. This has worked fine until upgrading to the QT Plugin version 7.1.5. With the new version, if I try and play the movie from a local file, the movie wont play, instead I get the quicktime logo with a question mark. I can play the movie just fine from the full quicktime install, or if I use the plugin to stream the video from a url off the server, instead of the local hard drive. This problem exists when viewing the webpage in Internet Explorer 6, I have not tried IE 7 or Firefox yet.
Is there a parameter within the QT Plugin, or within the browser that I need to set to allow playing a local file from a html page served by a remote server, or is this a case where tightened security is going to kill me? Thanks for any suggestions.
Windows XP Pro IE 6, QT Plugin 7.1.5

The link above is a QuickTime Media Link file. Simple text based URL that will download a very tiny file to the viewers computer (Mac or PC).
It will launch the QuickTIme Player app (bypassing the browser plug-in).
You could use the QuickTime files already on your server (and already being downloaded) as the "source" in the Media Link file so there is no increase in your bandwidth load. Viewers can also load your file (from cache) by clicking on the .qtl file again saving you some bandwidth.

Cant play local files on mobile

Posting again and hoping for a response before I have to cancel Premium because of it. Hello, I have a Droid Razr M, and I can't play my local files on my Android phone. I have premium, and when I download a playlist/songs to my phone, they come up as (Song Name) Unknown Artist, Unknown Album, and completely grey instead of white with the Dowload Icon next to them. My Phone and my Desktop Spotify are sync'd and I switch between them often.
I used to have success transferring files when working off my Macbook Air to my phone, but no such luck with my HP desktop. I do not have the Macbook anymore so it isn't a solution to this problem. I have connected my phone to my PC yet it does nothing within the Spotify window. When I'm playing a local file on the PC and I try to switch to mobile using connect, it just black screens and I have to back arrow out of that to get back to my playlist, where it resumes fine playing no song. This was not a problem a couple patches ago, yet it may make me unsubscribe because it is my most essential value to my Spotify experience. I will provide more information to solve the problem, if necessary

Yeh it won't sync local files under the latest version of Android.
It's not that it doesnt actually sync it, but on the phone on android. There is no option for local files.
It doesn't come up. Tho it is on the computer Spotify app.
The only way to do it, is to make a playlist. Drag everything from local files into the playlist. Then sync.
You can even click offline mode for what its worth. Obviously its already on the computer as its local files.
It seems files that are not on Spotify are faded out. It is very inconsistent about it. But none the less you can play everything.
Once you have it all on your new shiny playlist. Sync it to the phone. And just sync that playlist which just has local files.
There is no way to work out the bitrate of the files on the spotify app for Andoid, so I can see the kbps. So I know if it is a local version or what the sound quality is either. Anyway you can sync local files only through making a playlist.
The problem lies in the Spotify app. It has the option to click sync local files. And it actually does it, but this is useless as there is no way to search or play these files unless they are in a playlist on the latest Android App. And because it isn't in a playlist you cannot play it.
So yeh Make playlist. Copy Local Files into Playlist. Sync Android Phone with that Playlist. You can now play local files.

Can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5

PLEASE help! I'm an old boomer and not too tech-savvy (know enough to get all messed up!).
I can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5, and it's driving me CRAZY. I'm trying to play files from this website: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/ (just select a song under the "Titles" link), using Safari and/or Firefox browser -- to no good end!
What can I buy or add on that will enable the playing of MIDI files??
Thank you!

I had heard that MIDI worked in Lion, but don't currently have it to test.
There's a somewhat involved way to get it working described here, or you may be able to download the files & play them locally.

Spotify won't play local files in newer version (w/o ffmpeg-spotify)

Hi,
I have recently updated Spotify from AUR to version 0.9.4.183-1 (updated 2013-10-10) and I'm not able to play local files anymore (I was before). Package maintainer says that the major changes in the last version is that ffmpeg-spotify is not needed anymore to play local files (and so it has been marked as outdated), so I guess it has something to do with this fact. Actually, having or not having installed ffmpeg-spotify does not make any difference.
Just for the record, I am using PulseAudio, and when I try to play a local file, I can see in the log the following message:
19:03:25.415 I [audio_driver_linux.cpp:18 ] Using PulseAudio
Yep, that's all.
Is this happening to anyone else? Does anybody knows how is Spotify supposed to play local files without ffmpeg?
Thanks a lot.

Well, funny enough, I've found the solution the minute after I posted the question. To play local files, the necessary package is ffmpeg-compat (in official repo). So I guess this should be added as a dependency of the spotify AUR package?
Hope this helps someone.

My quicktime can't play avi file

HI everyone does someone know why my latest quicktime can't play avi file?

Let me tell you what are you doing wrong...
you just followed the wrong road try this one instead and you will love it.
*1st of all*: Dont pay attention to QuickTime, no matter what movie you want to view
just download and install VLC Media Player and your worries about formats, video codecs, audio codecs, multi zone dvd reproduction will be over in a sec!
just "open as" > VLC Media Player and you will see everything and if you have a subtitle file, just drag it into the movie

Can't play iTune file I received by email in iTunes?

I received an iTune audio file by email but I can't play the file nor import the file into the library. If I click on the file it opens iTunes but nothing else happens. Any suggestions?

Did you bounce at 44.1kHz, 16 bit? AIFF or AAC or MP3 should be fine for iTunes, but sample rate and bit depth is important.

Can I access local files?

I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer. My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application. No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website. But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer? Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files. Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
Thanks.

AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
AIR applications can access local files.
Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive. FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers.

Can't play .mov files in Xine

Hi
I am pretty new to Arch but it is great so far. I am running vanilla KDE4 with Xine as the Phonon backend. One problem I'm having is that I can't play .mov files. Other stuff like .wmv and .avi play ok. I also have the codecs package installed.
For example, no luck with this file
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/Cros … llUps1.mov
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums DeKay.
This isn't going to help, but I can confirm this using Xine 1.2 (dev) and almost a pure FFmpeg backend. ffplay and Mplayer can both play this file properly, so it's without a doubt a Xine problem. I ran a gdb trace on it and didn't really get anything to report upstream either.

HT3775 can't play wmv file on quicktime?

I can't play .wmv files on quicktime. I installed both QuickTime MPEG2 and Flip4Mac WMV hoping that this would solve the problem but it did not. When trying to play any audio .wmv file I get an error box stating "the document (filename).wmv could not be opened. The movie is not in a format the QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file". Anyone know what I might need here?

Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

HT4072 can't play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) with 5.1 audio tracks

I have two Macs, one with a mini-optical out and no audio through its mini-displayport, and the other that supports digital audio out through its mini-displayport. On either of my Macs, how can I play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) in 5.1 using Quicktime or iTunes or VLC? I've heard I need Perian. Is this true? If so, how do I configure it on either machine?
Note that when I connect the computer that supports audio through the mini-displayport to my receiver, my home theater receiver detects a PCM audio connection, but the audio I get out of my speakers is still stereo.
Both computers are running Snow Leopard. I haven't had the need to upgrade to Lion yet, but if the answer is that I need Lion do do this, I'd spend the $29.
Thanks for the help!

This just happened for the first time with an .mkv file I was trying to play. It started fine but then after selecting a menu option in smplayer the video disappeared. It didn't go black, the player just stopped presenting the video. In other words the player switched to audio playback mode only, the window was unable to go into fullscreen or be resized. Smplayer still works with other HD files. Deleting the config directory fixes the problem until I select a menu option, such as, setting the audio to 5.1, then the video portion disappears again.
Does anyone know what is going on here or have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help provided.
that's because now mplayer they switch to libavformat demuxer for mkv and ogg and i think is a bug in smplayer because is making some configuration for files in file_settings in which is sets demuxer & co. this switch is confusing smplayer and it should be reported upstream
p.s if you actually select demuxer from smplayer to mkv it would work perfectly
