Exporting AAC m4a podcast mime type problem

Hi All,
I have a podcast that I use GB3 to produce the enhanced podcast with (artwork podcast with links).
When I upload this file to my server it shows up as application/octet-stream for mime type. The extension is still m4a but the desktop icon is now a quicktime movie whereas in the past it was always an iTunes icon, when I used ChapterToolMe, for instance.
As a result my podcast/rss feed on the iTMS no longer updates the more recent shows (i've tried all the tricks to get that end of things working)
I'm guessing there is some setting in GB3 that is changing the mime-type behind the scenes under the GUI. Can anyone suggest anything? Converting in iTunes all over again?

Nathan,
I wonder if you've found a solution yet? I'm having the same issue with my picture and link enhanced podcast. Whenever i post an m4a to my RSS feed, it breaks my subscription in iTunes????
I hope someone has some knowledge on a fix for this.

Proxy mime types problem (HELP!)

I have an application which I have running ow two machines. On one
machine, WebLogic is running on port 80. On the other machine I am
using iPlanet Web Server with the NSAPI plugin pointing back to a
WebLogic server running the same application.
It appears as though the content types (read mime types) of the
out put are different between the two servers. On the first
server (weblogic only), the output appears to have a text/html
content type whereas on the second server, (weblogic+iPlanet), seems
to provide the result as text/plain. This does not seem to matter
when I run with Netscape or IE, but has a significant impact when
the client is a Palm VII.
Any suggestions as to the problem and or solution?

You need to set the mime types in the web.xml file. For example:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/octet-stream</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/octet-stream</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
I have had good luck with "application/octet-stream" but you may want to try and
experiment.
Now for a question of my own :-) Anyone know how to set the default mime type
--- that is, if none of the extensions that you explicitly specify matches the
file, is there any way to indicate what MIME type to use?

Mime type problems with Weblogic Server 6.0

I'm having problems getting mime types to work with Weblogic 6.0.
I modified my web.xml file to include the following entry:
<web-app>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
</web-app>
When I try to get a file that exist with the correct extension, excel never
executes and I only get garbage in the screen. This use to work with
Weblogic 5.1.
This is what I'm trying in the url: http://localhost/book1.xls
What I'm doing wrong? Is there any other way I can get an excell file to
display in my browser?
Thanks

Works like charm for me.
Did you put the file under default web app directory?

How to fix the "MIME types" problem !

Hello !
How to fix the problem of "MIME types", Windows doesn't want to keep the APPS by default !!!
When I try the application by default (for ex. right clic on .PSD files and "open with"), then I validates the selection program (Photoshop.exe), it does not appear in the selection of programs by default in windows!
Result, even dynamic objects no longer open in my applications and all adobe files icon don't appear in explorer
Thx

I find a solution who works for me (Win7 64bit) !
Use a Registry cleaner (ccleaner) and kill old file format entry !
Now restart association with a .AI file, because the way to .exe is in another place like other apps !
Try this:
First, right click on your illustrator apps icon (desktop or Start menu) and choose "open the file location" and copy the dir ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows" for me )
Right clic on your .AI file and select "Open with", now click on "browse" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows" for 64bit system.
"Windows" say "you've got problem with registry file association" the correction's automaticatly and the illustrator icon appear in the list of default apps.
Select and valid him
Now, do the same for all your "unknown files type" with the good apps !

AAC m4a podcast - Plays in iTunes, but won't sync to iPod, HELP!

Really confused with what's happening here. The podcast isn't on the iTunes store, so I know it's not guaranteed to work with iPod, but I've never had any problems with m4a or AAC files before, and I know it's supposed to work on iPods, so why wouldn't mine?

As a footnote to your answer I'd like to add the following:
I experiened this exact problem AND I had made sure that the artwok appeared in every entry. The only differrence was that I was saving the artwork to disk, selecting ALL the entries for a specific album, selecting get info (multiple) and then double clicking the artwork field and browsing my hard drive to locate the artwork.
After doing this, the artowrk did appear in ITunes but would not download to the iPod.
My solution was to still pick all the album's songs but rather than search the hard drive for the artwork, I would find it on the web and copy the image (simple copy). After this I would simply paste it in the multi artwork field.
This has worked ever since and will surely cure the above artwork problem.

Exporting as PDF from Keynote type problem

Hi,
I'm trying to export a Keynote presentation as a PDF for a client leave-behind, and the PDF is not showing all fonts correctly. Some slides have simple text boxes that Adobe Reader and Acrobat render as complete gibberish. Other screens have Numbers spreadsheets that I exported successfully as PDFs (that render fine separately), but when the PDF is dropped into a keynote slide and then exported again as a PDF of the whole presentation, they turn into an unreadable mess.
I have seen error messages upon opening the PDF in Acrobat like this:
'Cannot extract the embedded font 'DKUXBZ+MyriadPro-It'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.'
But I don't know what 'DKUXBZ+' means. My Myrad Pro works fine in all my other applications.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
D

I would guess that you have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.7. If so there is a bug which affects PostScript OpenType fonts like Myriad Pro Italic.
You can read about the problem here:
http://www.tidbits.com/article/12078
The solution is to use a different (non-OpenType) font or revert to 10.6.6.

Mp4/m4a podcast upload problems

I have a huge collection of AIFF files that I had exported via QT to mp4 files. As of recently, I have a group who's doing some EDU podcast related stuff who was hoping to post up my podcast list, but sent me an email letting me know that they couldn't use the mp4 files, as iTunes is interpreting them as video files, and I needed to use .m4a.
I heard from a few people on the boards that there's no fundemental difference and that renaming should be fine, although when trying to publish, we're getting this error:
"iTunes U could not update the content in this group because iTunes U encountered an unsupported enclosure extension in the specified RSS feed at iTunes Podcast Subscription. Until the issue is resolved, iTunes U continues to display the last downloadable version of the content. Verify that the RSS feed enclosures contain only approved content types (mpeg audio, mp4 video, quicktime video, PDF application, mp4a-latm audio) with the appropriate file extensions (mp4, mp4, mov, pdf, m4a) and then try again."
Does this mean we need to reencode all of our mp4 audio to m4a? If so, is there any way to avoid the recompression (to avoid the long hours of reencoding + potential loss in quality)?

Henry,
Sorry, but this is a "me too" post. I've been podcasting since Oct. of 2004 and I noticed this same problem with our podcast since I changed to AAC/m4a. I've checked and rechecked the xml, and even use identical code for our vodcast/enhanced podcast and it updates fine. Interestingly, they both work great in NetNewsWire Lite, so i really think this may be some glitch with iTunes. I know this doesn't help you, but perhaps it will shed some additional light on things.

Problem with mime type in web.xml file

Hi everybody,
I actually got a problem with mime types on Weblogic 6.0 under Linux.
I read the documentation so I added the next lines in the web.xml file in
the WEB-INF directory of my server :
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
doc
</extension>
<mime-type>
application/msword
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
ppt
</extension>
<mime-type>
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Why can't I retrieve a .doc or .ppt files with an internet browser correctly
? I get only text/plain ...
Can someone help me ?
Regards,
Alexis Berger

I am having the same problem with doc and xsl. I have added this
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
to my web.xml. I even restarted the server. I still see doc and xsl in binary.
Is there some other setting that needs to take place?
I am using WL6.1 with fixpack 1.
I can see the doc and excel files in the browser if I don't go through the weblogic
server. That just confirms it's not my browser.
Kumar Allamraju <[email protected]> wrote:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">

It works fine for me in 6.1 SP1.
 
If the following doesn't work , can you
 try application/winword instead of application/msword?

Problem with opening Archivelink document because of wrong MIME type

In transaction OAD2 we have a document type FAX which is currently connected to MIME-type application/pdf. This works fine for opening documents having document class FAX and are actuallty a PDF. However, in the past this document type FAX has also been used to store documents, which refer to a MIME type 'image/tiff'.
When opening FAX-documents that are actually a PDF-file, this currently works fine. When trying to view these FAX-documents that are actually a TIFF-file, it won't be shown in e.g. SAP Document Viewer, because the extention is unknown. You you have to save the file locally in order to be able to see it.
Is there a solution to look to the actual document type when opening a document via ArchiveLink, instead of looking to the ArchiveLink document type?
Thanks for any input in this one!
Regards,
Joost

I've been looking at the file, and it is indeed a puzzlement.
There is some good news, however. I don't know why it is happening (perhaps a bug, and maybe John would like to take a look at this, too), but it looks like the Paper-filled rectangle from Hinweise layer on the right of Master Ee is being copied to the left half of the actual document spreads on random layers. The pages that seem to be blank are easy to spot in the Page panel (22, 24, 26 & 32) and you can simply Cmd-Shift click on the rectangles on those pages to override and your text and graphics will be revealed. I'm not immediately picking up any other problems scanning quickly through the pages. For a quick and dirty get it done solution, I think this will work, though I would use the .inx file rather than the .indd for the conversion in CS5.5.
I've looked through the file history, and it is long. This started out in 2007 in CS2 and has gone through updates in CS3 and CS4, and been recovered from crashes at least 4 times (which might have something to do with the strangeness). I also think there are a lot of extraneous unused frames on many of the pages. If it were my project, I'd probably clean it up as much as possible in CS4, even going as far as recreating the master pages in a new document and then going page by page and doing a copy/paste in place of all non-master objects into the new file if you don't want to spend the time to place everythign again from scratch, which in my opinion would be a better idea (I tried moving the pages to a new file, but that didn't make any difference in the CS5.5 conversion). You could also rebuild from Scratch in CS5.5.

Problems with MIME type in Safari

Hi.
Somebody send me files via some web page, but safari keeps asking this.
The page “******* - QuickLink Delivery” has content of MIME type “application/x-aspera-web”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I try to find the plug-in but i can't find it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Have a look here. This may be helpful.
Would you post the URL sent to you. Curious to see the web site requiring the plug-in.

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

How can I use one Add-on prior to another for specific MIME-types?

I'm using Shockwave Flash plugin to watch some videos on YouTube, StreamCloud, etc. It also handles .mkv and .mp4 files/streams. After installing VLC Web plugin to handle MIME-types like mp3/4, mkv additionally and prior to the Flash plugin, Firefox keeps using Flash to handle those types insted. I cannot find options to set the desired priorities. Only disabling the Flash plugin solves my problem, but also keeps me from watching Flash contents, which Is not acceptable.
Did I miss something or is this Firefox's fault?

If you type or paste '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and press Enter, you can see which plugins are associated which various content types.
I do not know how to prioritize one over the other for the same content type if the plugin settings (plugins often have an interface outside of Firefox to adjust their settings) do not allow that.
As for MP4, I don't think Flash normally would be selected. I suspect the website is specifying a Flash media player and streaming the MP4 through that. If you want to hide the Flash plugin from a particular website, you can use the Permissions tab of the Page Info dialog.
Click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar, then More Information, then Permissions. The top section of the Permissions panel should be "Activate Plugins". Here you can select Block for Flash for the current site. After reloading the page, does the media play using a different plugin?

Unable to launch application from my machine:Bad MIME Type

Hi,
The following error message was printed when I tried to access the SwingSet2 demo from the Java Web Start site.
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: SwingSet2
Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Category: Download Error
Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing resource: http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/SwingSet2.jnlp - text/html
Can you please suggest what is to be done to rectufy this problem?
Regards,
Satish

Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing
resource:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/SwingSet
.jnlp - text/htmlit should return application/x-java-jnlp-file.
My guess is that you use proxy which messes up headers.
Otherwise try to reinstall Web Start, then enable the console and log output in Web Start's advanced preferences to get more clues what's going on.

File/Open Dialog Box / Setting MIME type

In my application, I am calling a web service that returns text that I need to download into an EDI application. I am simply looking to have an open/file dialog box open when the text is returned. I was using the following code in a PL/SQL process:
begin
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="EDIOuput.edi"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
end;
The problem is the HTML code that comes along with the text that is returned. Is there a way to simple call the procedure on a page that only containes the raw data?
Thank you.

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

How to use JavaSript library stored in mime type repository???

Hi Experts
I currently have the situation that I would like to deploy several JavaScript functions in a multitude of templates. I need my own JavaScript functions as the provided functionality is not sufficient.
I have figured that I can add my function by using the script item and that works fine, but it requires the script to be entered in every template.
My idea is to store the central JS file in the mime type repository and then reference it, however it doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody have an idea on how to make it work or alternatively have a central JavaScript library that is used by several different templates?
Thanks for your help, regards,
Minima

Thanks for the answer, DEEPU's comment realer helped.
Another solution is to create a Web Item that contains the coding. The Web Item can then be stored as reusable. This also looks like a neat solution for the problem.
Hope it will help some people.
