E71 and Handling of realplayer .SMIL file extensio...
Trying to use my Nokia E71 to listen to content on Ireland's Radio stations at :
http://www.rte.ie/radio/
There is an option there to listen to the content in Realplayer (as Windows Media isn't supported on E71 or other Nokia devices that I know of).
If you chose one of the stations, it will redirect to a link such as this:
http://www.rte.ie/radio/liveplayer2_av.html?1_real,http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/live/radio/radio1.smil,r...
It won't play because it wants an IE plugin of some sort (Flash or Quicktime) on my PC. There is an option there to "Play In StandAlone Player" and when I chose that with my PC, the web site hands out a file with an extension of .SMIL (realplayer file of some sort).
I can go to the same link on my E71 browser and If I save that .SMIL file to my E71 and then open that file using the built in File Manager it shows me the content of the .SMIL file and one of the URLs in there is:
src="rtsp://live2.rte.ie/redundant/lyrical.ra"
and that is automatically highlighted (like the File Manager knows it is a URL). When I click on and launch that URL, it launches RealPlayer and the stream plays just fine. It seems that E71 Web Browser and/or the Operating System just needs a little code added to it to properly handle .SMIL file extensions. Is this something that can be fixed by Nokia to help me and others?
Thank you for your time.
Jeff
Thank you for confirming that other Nokias have the same problem. Again, when you open the .SMIL file, the internal contents of the file are correct, but only a part. Nokia would have to look at the .SMIL formatted file and extrac the necessary information to pass to the Operating System to launch the Real Player. Can't imagine that it would be difficult to do, but apparently they haven't seen fit to do so. Kind of like they haven't done a number of other things (in all fairness, they have done some decent things, but just not enough to have kept up with others).
Oh well, I guess I can just hang on to the E71 until time to purchase something that starts with "And" and ends with "roid" !

How to create and handle a text file in CVI
Is there any way to create and handle (like...open,write,read,truncate,close) the .txt file in CVI?
Sure. CVI is a regular C compiler and hence you can use all ANSI C functions. In addition you can use the File I/O functions from the utility library.

Unable to stream SMIL files unless the html page, swf file and the smil ffile are on the FMS server.
When I place the .swf, smil and http files on the FMS server the SMIL stream test sample works fine
But When I move the files to my web server I get Connection error.
This is the same issue discussed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/554107
I added a ‘base’ variable but it did not work for me.
The SMIL file has the correct path to the sample files and FMS server
<meta base="rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/" />
I am able to stream files from my html file on my webserver not the FMS server by pointing to the FMS server at rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/mp4:sample1_1500kbps.f4v
Is this a domain security setting? If so, where do I change it?
If not How do I get FMS to stream SMIL files without installing a webserver with FMS?
Thanks,Hi,
I think there is bug with that videoPlayer.swf which is used by index.html of webroot folder of FMS to play media files, its not able to parse smil file correctly. I used some other player and used the smil file and kept it on http server other than fms server so it was able to dynamically stream videos. So I would suggest you to create your own player which uses smil file. You can take help from the below link to create player:

Log Message:
1) SMILPlugin - SMILMediaGenerator class modified to support both live and vod smil files. SMILLoader modified to retain original resource metadata.
2) AkamaiBasicStreamingPlugin refactored. This includes improved support for all types of streams while the plugin is loaded, added support for plugin metadata that can override built in defaults for a) live stream time out; b) whether or not the plugin should try to reconnect to a live stream if both primary and secondary encoders fail; c) the interval at which the retry should occur. Added support for resource metadata for specifying connect-level and stream-level auth tokens so that these tokens do not need to be part of the URL (although this is acceptable also).
3) AkamaiPluginSample app updated to support auth tokens which are not part of the URL (these are passed to the Akamai plugin via resource metadata).

.swf files downloading and opening in RealPlayer, not Safari
Every time I click on a link to an .swf file, instead of the file opening in Safari and playing, Safari downloads the file and attempts to open it in RealPlayer, which doesn't work. I'd prefer to simply be able to open the .swf directly in Safari (I can do this by dragging the downloaded file into a Safari window showing about:blank, but I'm lazy and would like to skip this seemingly unnecessary step). Any hints?
Check that in your Quicktime preferences, under MIME settings that SWF files are associated with that, or realplayer, then Safari should open them using the plugin - or make sure you have got the shockwave/flash plugin installed.

Hello, I am finding that Firefox often hangs and says not responding when I try to open a new page, and also that it takes a very long time to clear cookies and cache. I have read elsewhere that the second problem can be due to plugins, and I have found lots of these, many of which I don't need like Realplayer. So I was wondering if there is some way for me to start from scratch without any plugins at all and then I can install any that are needed?
I have reset Firefox, uninstalled and reinstalled it and also deleted Realplayer and the Realplayer program files, but nothing seems to change (there are other plugins too which I don't think I use such as VLC Web Plugin - I only use VLC for DVDs - which could also be causing the problem).You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.

How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success! Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion. While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post. A suggestion in that direction would help.
Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media. It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD". A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV. Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago. I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems. There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc. -
Another question regarding smil files and NPR
I'm having troube listening to NPR smil files. I've read the previous posts regarding this issue, but seem to be experiencing a different twist. There are no files downloading to play when I click on "listen". When I click the "listen" button a QT safari screen appears and I get a spinning arrow with heading "downloading". However, nothing ever downloads to my desk top. This is very strange as just last weekend I downloaded NPR files and they were saved to my desktop as Real Time files and I was able to play with them with no problem. I've done nothing to QT or RT in the mean time.
I've tried the previous suggestions posted of going to the Get Info section of a previously downloaded smil file and changing the settings to say all smil files should play with RT - restarted my computer - nothing. Help!Was able to figure this out myself. Had to go into QT preferences and elect to not play smil type files and go in to RT and re-elect to play smil files using RT. Restarted my computer and it works like a charm.

Captivate 4 : How to stream a video with smil file ?
I am trying to stream a video hosted on Highwinds CDN. Highwinds provides a web link for every uploaded flv file and does not accept calling the video directly with an rtmp link.
I have tried to insert flash video using these settings :
Video Type : Flash Video Streaming Service
URL : http://hwcdn.net/xxxxx/fms/captivate-swf-to-flv-Cam4-5fps.smil
When I press detect size, green circle keeps running and cannot get the dimensions.
Also when I publish the project (AS3 or AS2), video player on the slide does not show up, no video play.
I have been able to stream above file with smil web link using jw player, so there is no problem with the file and streaming service (highwinds).
I guess I am doing something wrong with Captivate 4 or Captivate 4 does not handle smil files ?
What may be a a solution to stream flv video using smil files ?
Regards,
SemihHi there
As you have seen, Captivate 4 introduces a total change in functionality with respect to the way the menu works. Now, all you may do is link to different slides. So this means you have to think a bit outside the box.
One way to achieve what you are wanting is to create a slide that has as its only purpose, Opening a URL. You assign this action using a new field in the Slide properties. On Slide Enter. Then you point your TOC entry to this slide. Of course this also means you will need to consider what happens after the slide that opens the URL is visited. So you will need to exercise some creativity here.
Cheers... Rick

SMIL files download automatically???
Hi all,
Was not quite sure where to post this,
well, I was looking for some .SMIL tutorials and followed the links on apple's quicktime sites.
One of the links is http://www.multimedia4everyone.com/ which you can find in the SMIL resources box on the quicktime SMIL page. when i went to this page using safari and clicked on the fisrt link in the SMIL files - the 'Intro to SMIL version 1.0, RealNetworks G2, 80KB SMIL 1.0 with RealText.'a download started and placed the .smil file onto my desktop.
I checked quicktime prefs and found that it was not set to handle .smil, I enabled it and retried and it opened it with quicktime but the file does not work properly. And still it downloaded and placed the file on my desktop.
I tried with firefox, the same thing except it asked wether I wanted to play with QT, save to disk etc. I chose play with QT - and still the file got dumped on my desktop.
Why does OS X download this file when I haven't told it to?? I checked on windows machines and it plays in real player without downloading.
I may be paranoid, but this seems a little 'abnormal' behaviour for OS X, and I've been very paranoid since the emergence of Oompa Loompa.The .smil (smile) extension (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) comes in flavors (version 1 and 2). QuickTime only works with version 1.
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/ for more info.
Since QT plug-in only supports version 1 and most new content is developed for version 2 I think (IMHO) you shouldn't use the QT plug-in for .smil content.
I think the last time I saw a .qhtm file was about 1997. I believe it is created for PC's before the plug-in or ActiveX architecture was developed.
A simple Mac "trick" to open a file with a different app is to Control-click for a pop up menu. Choose the Open With... menu and pick from the list.
This lets you try the QT Player on the .smil file. If it fails to open or gives error messages a double click will open it with the default app. I use Real Player as the default (only because it seems to work). -
Hi,
I created a bunch of SMIL files for a project 5 years ago. I now have to revisit that project, howver, when I try to run the files none of the linked audio or video work. I get a white screen with a little red x. That's it.
I have QT 7 Pro installed.
Here is the code from one of the smil movies:
SMILtext<smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" qt:autoplay="true" qt:time-slider="true">

</smil>
Please help. Thanks.
KarenKaren, I don't know if there is a issue with QT7 and SMIL. I'm not real familiar with the file. I had thought it could have been a simple preference issue. But QT should handle them, sorry I cannot be of more help.
But where you've posted the code to the SMIL file this link might be worth taking a look at. It mentions that SMIL is different from HTML. And that SMIL tags are case sensitive(always lower case). Your's start's out as SMIL possibly should start as smil

Problem with ArrayLists and writing and reading from a .dat file (I think)
I'm brand new to this forum, but I'm sure hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with ArrayLists. This program was originally created with an array of objects that were displayed on a GUI with jtextFields, then cycling thru them via jButtons: First, Next, Previous, Last. Now I need to add the ability to modify, delete and add records. Both iterations of this program needed to write to and read from a .dat file.
It worked just like it was suppose to when I used just the array, but now I need to use a "dynamic array" that will grow or shrink as needed: i.e. an ArrayList.
When I aded the ArrayList I had the ArrayList use toArray() to fill my original array so I could continue to use all the methods I'd created for using with my array. Now I'm getting a nullPointerException every time I try to run my program, which means somewhere I'm NOT filling my array ???? But, I'm writing just fine to my .dat file, which is confusing me to no end!
It's a long program, and I apologize for the length, but here it is. There are also 2 class files, a parent and 1 child below Inventory6. This was written in NetBeans IDE 5.5.1.
Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me!

double pricBalusC -- The line that gives me my NullPointerException is when I call the "DisplayProduct()" method. Its a dumb question, but with NetBeans how do I find out which reference could be null? I'm not very familiar with how NetBeans works with finding out how to debug. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.The IDE is com-plete-ly irrelevant. It's all about the source code.
Do you understand anyway when and why a NullPointerException is been thrown? It is a subclass of RuntimeException and those kind of exceptions are very trival and generally indicate an design/logic/thinking fault in your code.
SomeObject someObject = null; // The someObject reference is null.
someObject.doSomething(); // Invoking a reference which is null would throw NPE. -
In my FTP client I can click to sort by date modified which is fine if you are in a folder and then it shows the file dates correctly - but any folders within the root folder don't they seem to display randomly all together at the bottom of the list and it is a nightmare trying to find what folders have files in them that have been changed.
Is there any way to get the folder to register the last date of a file within it that was modified?I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates. Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within. But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

Reading and Writing from a text file at the same time
I know who to use the Scanner and PrintWriter to read from and write to a .txt file. But these are limited. How can I read and write at the same time? Such as open a file and change every third character or change every second word to something else and then write it back. I found this [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/] but its a little over my head. Is this the only way to do it?
wrote:
You are using buffered reads and writes I would assume, right? Also, how do you think most programs handle this sort of thing? I don't believe I'm using buffering.
My code looks something like this
//...necessary imports
//then
Scanner inFile = new Scanner (new file("filename1.txt"));
PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter ("filename2.txt");
//then stuff like
int x = inFile.hasNextInt();
outFile.println(x);
camickr wrote:If you are changing the data "in place", that is none of the data in the file is shifted, then you can use a RandomAccessFile.
Otherwise, you've been given the answer above.What is RandomAccessFile? Is it what I have a link to? Basically what I do is I write a bunch of numbers to a txt file and then change the numbers I don't need anymore to 0. So say I had 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc. I would like to to open the txt file and change every second one to 0 so then I'd have only odd numbers and 0s.
I looked at the documentation for RandomAccessFile and it seems like it might be what I need.
Thankyou both for your help so far. I took a java course in high school and they only taught me one way to get data from text files and that is what I just showed you. So maybe this questions are really stupid. lol

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?
How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.
