Embed QT in webpage without preload

Hi,
I would like to put a QT movie on a webpage using the <embed> tag. How can I tell the movie not to preload before the user press "play" on the control panel?
It's to prevent my server getting too busy.

You could use the autoplay="false" tag but it will still allow the file to download in the background. No server savings in that method.
Better method: Use a "Poster movie".
The link to your source movie will not begin downloading until a visitor clicks on the poster.mov file.
One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/B/
A different issue has come up in the last few weeks that involves the page code tags for PC users running Internet Explorer and the new M$ security update:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
The embed tag is dead (by itself) as it doesn't even allow PC IE users to view QT content. The "better" object and embed (nested) still will work but, again, PC visitors using IE (about 80% of browser use) may see a pop-up message alerting them to ActiveX content in your page. Nothing makes them flee from your site quicker than an alert they don't understand.

How to embed Connect video in webpage without autoplay / autostart

I want to embed a Connect recording from our locally hosted Connect site on our webpages. We use Plone and I've manually added the code:
<p><iframe src="https://connect.le.ac.uk/p51ud1gxajs/" name="Demonstrating your impact with the h-index" width="800" height="600" align="left" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
This appears to work in testing but the video starts playing when you load the webpage - which I do not want it to do.
How do I have the video embed but not play unless the user selects play?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm sorry to hear Connect cannot even as an option do what I want it to do. Please could this option be added to a future release?
If I embed a video on a web page I pretty much never want it to play until the user chooses to do so, since there may be other options on the page or they may be doing something else while loading the page. I'd prefer this behaviour to be the default and if not I at least need it as an option if I am to embed videos on webpages.

View webpage without internet connection

Whenever I save a webpage (under Favorites) while I have internet connection. Eventhough it is saved, I am NOT able to view it once the internet connection is lost.
There is an specific checkbox to view webpages without internet connection under the favorites menu. But it is not working with me. When I try to view those pages a message appears saying I have no internet connection.

Embed an HTML5 interaction in a webpage without tracking

I am developing a course in LearnDash, a WordPress plugin LMS. I would like to create some rich media interactions like drag and drops and other HTML5 interactions in Captivate and then drop them into my LearnDash course. I do not need to capture user data in an LRS. How do I do this? How can I create a pacakged HTML5 "object" from all the related assets that I can drop in that will just embed in the web page? Is there a way I can use Adobe Edge to somehow convert my object into something that can be embedded?

I know that's an option, but I'm trying to avoid iFrames in an attempt to be as responsive as possible. WP makes a plugin for Articulate projects, but there's not one for Captivate projects yet.

Embed .mp3 in .pdf without controller?

Whenever I embed an .mp3 in an interactive .pdf, a gray "controller" box appears as soon as the sound is triggered. And once the sound is triggered, the box cannot be made to go away without closing and reopening the pdf. I have no use at all for these things. I feel like I should be able to include interactive audio in a document without being forced to have these unhelpful controllers cluttering up my carefully-designed documents. (I mean, it's interactive audio; should there really be an obligatory visual component?)
Am I missing something? There doesn't seem to be any way to "turn these things off." Any help would be appreciated!

It could be some type of font incompatability between your PC and your Mac. Most OTF's ( Open Type Fonts ) are compatable with both the PC and the Mac, but it may be a good idea to find out which font is suspect and replace it with a new, Mac version ( license ). And, yes, for some reason, a font or two may not have been activated when you copied it over to your Mac. I would think Distiller would be blind to font issues and RIP your file anyway, but again, if the font was never copied over or activated because of a license issue, then Distiller may just substitute the font(s). It may be a good idea to match all of your previous PC fonts with new Mac versions. And no, Distiller is not involved when you save-to-PDF in Ai. The last time I checked, Distiller is / was a stand-alone application for creating PDF's. Why not try using Distiller to see what happens? You also have the option to Print > Save as PDF in Illustrator. That's three ways to create a PDF: 1.) Use Acrobat's Distiller, 2.) Illustrator > Save As > Adobe PDF, 3. ) Illustrator > Print > Save as PDF. Also, PC TTF's are not compatable on a Mac ( at least, that's the way I see it ). Have you tried to print a desktop version of the Ai file to see if the font loads in your print driver? If the printer skews the text that carries your font, then you know the font is definitely the problem.

Embed PDF in webpage

Can anyone tell me how I can embed a pdf into a normal
webpage, and display it as a flip book, so users can click on the
corner of the page and turn it.
Thankyou

Based on your description, this can be accomplished in simple, lightweight HTML alone. It could be accomplished more efficiently using PHP and a database, if you have a lot of material to include. Some people would add javascript to the task. Some people would use big fat Flash to to this. But why would you even want to do this with PDF?
Acrobat is great, and you can do many things with PDF, but this is the wrong application for it.

Embeding quicktime without preloading

Hi,
I want to embed some audio on my blog but it seems to preload the audio. I dont want it to do this as it slows down peoples machines. How do I get it to only start streaming when the user clicks PLAY? Thanks
Code below
<embed type="audio/x-wav" src="http://www.thesecretsgr.net/music/cd1.mp3" autoplay="false" autostart="false" width="300" height="50"></embed>
Other details:
-does this for Windows Firefox AND IE

What you need to use is known as a "Poster Movie".
A poster movie is a simple image file saved as a .mov file. It acts as a placeholder for the source file and the source isn't downloaded until the poster movie is clicked.
Since your source is an audio file you would want to create a poster sized at 200X16 pixels. The 16 pixel height is the height of the QuickTime controller. The width could be shorter but no less than 16 pixels to show the on/off controls of the controller.
Your example code uses the ancient embed tag and is very out of date for modern browsers. More modern methods now use javascript and you can learn more at this link:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
Some sample code for poster movies can be found at this link:
http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/digitalmedia/2006/09/29/two-slick- quicktime-tricks.html?page=2
One of my pages that shows the poster movie trick and also targets the QuickTime Player instead of using the browser plug-in:

Opening a cursor in disk order without preloading

Hello,
I am wondering if it's possible to open a cursor in BDB JE in disk (as opposed to key) order, without resorting to preloading. I believe it's a possibility with the C version of BDB.
Thanks,
- Alex

Hi Ismael,
Thanks for the explanation.
The user report mentions 5 minutes to return the first record. I don't see how this is possible with JE, since in the worst case (say, a 4 level Btree) this requires 5 or 6 random access reads. Are you sure that something else isn't going on? Does this include JE recovery time (opening the Environment)?
I don't think there is a way to allow a Cursor to read in disk order. The future enhancement I mentioned would read in disk order via a separate API, it would not populate the cache, and it would require the use of ReadUncommitted (dirty-read). Would this be of use to you?

Can you use Crystal Reports on a webpage without having to use session?

In all of the examples I have seen it shows using the session to store the reportdocument object between postbacks. That means that clicking the page buttons fires a postback. Other reporting tools such as PDF, ActiveReports, and others do not have to do this. Is this a limitation of Crystal and a COM backend or is it just a common sample and not the only option?
How do you get paging to work without having to use session and do postbacks? AJAX, Javascript, converting to a PDF, etc. would all be possible ways to not require a postback.
My problem is that I am using SQL Server to store the session and the reportdocument object is not serializeable. I have been told I can buy Crystal Report Server for $5000 and this will work. But in reality I can buy other reporting tool for $500 or convert them to SQL Reporting and it will work as well. So I am trying to be reasonable and figure out what I need to do. That seems like a bit much to need a whole server application to serve the reports just to turn on paging for a couple of simple reports. I'm hoping there is a way to not use session to get paging to work.
I have consider pushing the report into viewstate and not session. But I would rather not push it into either. Is this a valid option?
What is the typical way to handle this sort of thing? Do you really have to push it into session to get the CrystalReportViewer control to page on an ASPX page. What other options are there?
Any suggestions, thoughts, or ideas would be very much appreciated. This is causing enough of a problem where the company is asking me to look at alternatives if we cannot solve this.
Best regards,
Jon

Acrobat doesnu2019t cause postbacks when paging because the acrobat reader installed locally, so its viewing is in a client-side control. I imagine the same thing is the case for ActiveReports (some sort of client-side activex control installed).
If the winform viewer was used on in your web page, then you wouldnu2019t get postbacks either, but then you'd need Crystal Reports runtime on the client to view in that control. And placing a winviewer in a web page give me shivers...
So, to avoid using session, recreate the reportdocument and re-load the report on postbacks.
As Surabh mentioned, you can serialize the report but you will have to use teh InProc RAS. There is an issue thought; you start to get load errors and otehr errors after viewing 3 reports. I belive this has been reported to R&D for a fix comment, but I do not have and ETA at this time. The code for the InProc RAS SDK would be as follows:
           If Not IsPostBack Then
            Dim rpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim boReportClientDocument As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument
            '           rpt.ReportAppServer = "Inproc:multithreaded"
            rpt.Load("c:inetpubwwwroot     estSerializeInprocRASEmployee Profile.rpt",
           OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy)
            boReportClientDocument = rpt.ReportClientDocument
            Dim x As String = boReportClientDocument.DataDefController.Database.Tables(0).Name
            '     boReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.logon("sa", "admin")
            Dim convertUtil As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Utilities.Conversion()
            Dim serializedDoc As String
            serializedDoc = convertUtil.ToString(rpt.ReportClientDocument)
            Session.Add("SerializedDoc", serializedDoc)
            'ViewState.Add("SerializedDoc", serializedDoc)
            Response.Write("The document has been serialized.")
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = boReportClientDocument.ReportSource
        Else
            Label1.Visible = False
            Button1.Visible = False
            Dim x As String
            x = ViewState("SerializedDoc").ToString()
            Dim deSerializedDoc As ISCDReportClientDocument
            Dim convertUtil As New Conversion
            deSerializedDoc = convertUtil.ToReportClientDocument(Session("SerializedDoc").ToString())
            'deSerializedDoc = convertUtil.ToReportClientDocument(ViewState("SerializedDoc").ToString())
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = deSerializedDoc
            Response.Write("You are viewing a de-Serialized report" & "<BR>")
            Response.Write(ViewState("SerializedDoc").ToString())
        End If

Is there a way to set up a template that can be edited that will update the webpage without having..

I was wondering if there is a way to create a template that you can upload music, pictures,and videos to that will automatically upload to a server without having website software. Reason: I am making a website that I would like to be accesible without me having to upload all the above on a regular basis, just the owner of the website.

Sounds to me as if you might like to have a look at Wordpress.
Find a theme, add your modifications and then show the owner how to use Wordpress.

Client view vi webpage without needing run time engine

I am trying to create a environmental webpage attached to a Labview vi where end user can browse the web page from their home computer internet. Problem is I read that the end user need to have the Run Time Engine installed in their computers, now this sucks. If the end users need to remember to install run time engine to every computer their visit, there will no business. Is there someway to bypass this?

"If you want clients who do not have LabVIEW installed to view and control a front panel remotely, they must install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, then view the front panel remotely."
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi sunflower2772,
if you want to use the NI function of webserver, then you have to install the runtime engine (there is also a smaller one), the same as using some JAVA code.
If you don't want to do this, then you have to write your own webserver.

How do I get the tabs to have the correct name of the webpage without having to reconfigure each time I open the browser

Ever since I downloaded the latest Firefox, the tabs for various web pages are often misnamed. For instance, I'll be visiting a page and the tab will be named Google or Wikipedia or the name of a Firefox page! I have to click the tab to see what page I have loaded. When I'm working in a browser with several tabs going, I'd like to see the correct name of the page ON THE TAB.
I've gone in under tools and tried to assign the appropriate names of the web pages but this is ridiculous! Not only is it a waste of time to have to configure the correct name for each web page I visit, but it will revert back to the incorrect default names mentioned above.
In older Firefox browsers this was NEVER a problem. Is it because the latest Firefox doesn't like Windows XP? Please give me a good and final fix for this. Like I said, I've tried to reconfigure the names of the tabs, but the names don't stick.

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried them both and neither fixed the problem. Any other ideas?
