F8 (play/pause) Key running real time player

Hi
I have just brought a new mac wireless keyboard for my mac mini.
I am having problems with one of the shortcut keys F8, to play/pause media. Once pressed itunes playes which is generally the main idea but it also causes realtime to start up and play the last film shown.
Can anyone tell me how to stop this from happening?
Regards
Kash

Hello,
and please excuse my English :-)
I was surprised too when I saw that in my IdeaPad Y530 isn't possible to set other application for "Play/Pause" button than WMP :-(
Like you wrote, "utility.exe" is searching registry for path to WMP and then launch it. There is a "wmplayer.exe" string in "utility.exe" file so it is unchangeable, I think . I can't understand it.
Is possible to patch "utility.exe" but this is Lenovo job - to give customers good working app.
I think changing registry key is now only one fast method.
One question: I see in "utility.exe" string "Right-click the icon to select the program or file that you want assigned to the hotkey". When/where app shows this text ?

Hi aj243,
I haven't been able to view quicktime videos lately in Chrome either. I get the error message "quicktime plug in 7.7.1 has crashed". Were you ever able to fix this problem?

Play/Pause Key Troubles

The play/pause key on my macbook has quit working in the last few days. I use this key a lot and it's inability to function has proven to be frustrating. Though the key won't play or pause iTunes, it is not entirely unresponsive. When the backlight goes out just before the screen goes black, pressing the play/pause button still causes the backlight to come back on. All the other keys are working fine, including the skip forward/backward buttons immediately adjacent to the play/pause key. Any help would be much appreciated

Weird, just realized that it only happens when using QuickSilver to select a song. Still, it didn't used to do this.

How do I install real time player on ipad ?

Can not install real time player also can not install adobe player are there other programs that can be used to view video on comcast.net

You can only install apps that are available in the iTunes App Store on your computer, or the App Store app on your iPad - 'normal' PC or Mac software cannot be installed on the iPad, they are not compatible.
Flash player is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now apparently given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there to see if the site(s) you use have their own app(s).

Disable Play/ Pause Keys on Apple Keyboards in Aperture

Hi, I'm looking for a way to make Aperture not start a slideshow using the play/ pause key on the Apple keyboards.
It's really annoying when you want to play/pause song in iTunes - Aperture stars slideshow.
Is there some solution to disable Aperture media keys?

Tricky One oO
The only way I can use the play/pause key is when using Ecoute to listen to the iTunes library. And only by pressing altshiftF8...
In Ecoute you can define your own shortcuts which don't interfere with iTunes.
Try:
ctrlcmdspace -> play/pause
ctrlcmdleft -> previous track
ctrlcmdright -> next track

[Solved] Control MPD with Macbook Pro Play/Pause keys

I have mpd installed and working with ncmpcpp as the client.
I have a 17" C2D 9600GT Mac book Po.
I have pommed installed and working.
I'm using openbox, but I sometimes use awesome when I feel like it.
I think that's all you really need to know. This is probably really simple, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I would like the play/pause key to play/pause, skip forward key to skip forward and the skip back to skip back.
This is a little unrelated, but if any of you have a macbook pro you would know about the alternate to the F3 key. In mac It takes all of your active windows and tiles them across the screen so you can select what window. In awesome, to change the tiling mode you press Command(super)+space. Can I make that alternate F3 key mapped to this?
Thanks guys.

Got it all set. Thanks dude. That link helped quite a bit.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I ended up figuring out what the keys were mapped to and assigned them to control mpc via the rc.xml for openbox.
So basically, copy and paste this into your rc.xml as long as your keys are mapped to XF86 correctly.
<keybind key="XF86AudioPrev">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>mpc prev</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioPlay">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>mpc toggle</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioNext">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>mpc next</execute>
</action>
</keybind>

Play/Pause key on Mac keyboard now Play/STOPs iTunes?

The Play/Pause key on my Mac keyboard used to Play/Pause the music. Ever since upgrading to iTunes 9.1, however, the key acts as Play/Stop, so if music is playing and I hit the key, it will STOP the music, and when I hit Play again, it won't continue from where it stopped but it will instead choose a different song in the same playlist to play. How can I fix this to revert to the previous functionality?

Weird, just realized that it only happens when using QuickSilver to select a song. Still, it didn't used to do this.

Not able to run Real Time Report(Live report)

Hi all,
I am working on a report which need to be run on real time, i am facing difficulty while running it at my end(India),
getting error as View Display Error whereas my counterpart in United States running at her end getting the result easly,
server is located at United States,we share the same internet speed,I tried different means by putting appropriate filter
in order to reduce the data size but still couldnt see any result. Can anyone please suggest me what is the issue
and what need to be done in order to get the results for real time report faster at my end.
Thanks for help.

A couple of suggestions.
First, make sure you are reproducing the report conditions as well as the user access settings. Different user access can make a big difference in report performance.
Second, enter an SR with Oracle support. They may be able to help troubleshoot connection issues.
When we see dramatically different response times in different locations, this usuallly means a network issue. It may not be in your corporate network, but somewhere between you and the data center.

Cannot run Simulink dll at the same time as running real-time target VI

Hello
What I am trying to do is run a model dll created in Simulink to control some servo's through a CompactRio 9014.
At the moment I have managed to create three VIs
1) In the FPGA target that performs the PWM on a desired channel
2) That takes the value of a network variable which contains the position required and feeds that to the 1st VI
3) A VI that runs on the host computer that modifies the value of the network variable to change the position
I can get these three VIs working and the servo controlled, but when I try to update the value of the network variable using the simulation, by deploying the simulation to the RT target and running it, it says
'Access denied: This target is already in use by another project or host computer.'
I assume as this is because the project is already connected to the cRio, so I disconnect and am able to deploy the model files.
However when I try to run one of the VIs in the RT Targer along with the simulation I get the error:
'This VI is downloaded on the target but is not present in the project you are attempting to deploy. All VIs on the target will be closed unless you choose to add the missing VI to the project.'
With a large number of missing VIs...
Would I be doing this wrong, i.e. is there a much simplier way to control the FPGA inputs using the simulation, or is there something I could have missed?
Thanks
Geoff
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Geoff,
It seems that you are on the right track except for some concepts that I
want to review:
A CompactRIO or cRIO has 3 different components:
1)
Real-Time controller (in your case a 9014)
2)
FPGA backplane (this could be a 9102, or a 9103, 910x,
etc)
3)
I/O modules (like a 9401, 9263, etc)
When you write an application for cRIO you usually have three different VIs:
1)
Host VI – This VI is used as a user interface and runs in
Windows (under “My Computer” in the LabVIEW project) This VI is optional because
you might want to run the cRIO headless.
2)
RT VI – This is the VI that runs in the cRIO controller
(in your case the 9014). This VI lives
under the cRIO target in your LabVIEW project.
3)
FPGA VI – This is the VI that runs in the cRIO
backplane like a 9102. This lives under
the cRIO >> FPGA target in the LabVIEW project.
The ONE application that I was talking about in my last post is for the RT
VI. There can only be one RT VI that
gets deployed. If you want to run
multiple VIs in the cRIO RT, then you need to run those VIs as subVIs of one
top level VI.
LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT) has a tool called the SIT
Connection Manager that creates two of these three VIs for you (the RT and the
Host VIs).
Please refer to the following link about the SIT Help. Go to the How To section. It is organized in a kind of step by step
tutorial.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371504D-01/
In your case it is going to be a bit more difficult because of two things:
One, you are using a VxWorks target.
Two, you want to use your own FPGA VI.
Let’s address each one of them:
1)
VxWorks target- To use the SIT Connection Manager you
need to use a DLL not an OUT file, even though you need the OUT file for the cRIO VxWorks target. The reason is
that this tool needs to read the compiled model to know what the
parameters, signals, inports and outports of your model are. Because the tool runs in Windows you cannot
open an OUT file (meant for a different OS) so you need to give it a DLL.
For this reason you will need to compile your model file into an OUT
file and a DLL. Once you give a DLL to
the Connection Manager and you select your cRIO as the execution target, keep
doing the rest of the steps as the help says.
LabVIEW will identify that you are using a VxWorks target and will
download the OUT file to the cRIO.
2)
Custom FPGA VI – LabVIEW SIT has some FPGA bitfiles
(compiled FPGA VIs) that it can use.
When you open the SIT connection manager and go to the Hardware IO
mapping section it asks you to select the bitfile. If you want, you can select one of the
shipping bitfiles but iIf you
want to use your own, then you will need to do some changes to your FPGA VI , recompile it and
save the bitfile in a specific location with a specific name.
Please refer to the following link for
instructions on how to create your custom FPGA VI:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371504D-01/lvsithowto/sit_h_custfpga/
What I would suggest is that you start with a very simple example and using
one of the shipping bitfiles. Look into
the following path for a very simple Sine wave generation example:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\Simulation
Interface\Sine Wave
Because you are running a VxWorks target you will need to recompile this
example model sinewave.mdl to an OUT file.
To get a better understanding of what SIT does you might
want to check some quick videos. Go to
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/11763 and under the
resources tab there are two videos called Demo - <something>...
Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions.

ITunes (11 I think) in smart playlists and folders won't apply the "Last Played" search criteria in real time. Please fix!!!

The major iTunes recent makeover, generally *****.
It's ugly to look at; it's grey and blue-grey and more grey. god, how drab can you get. You know how in the Finder we can assign colors to files, folders & applications. It would be fantastic to be able to do that to playlists and the folders of playlists within iTunes. Please add some color! And/Or let us choose the color format for our personal copy of iTunes, like some browsers do.
But more importantly I have some rather sophisticated smart playlists; many of which source other (smart) playlists & folders of playlists in my collection. With this current iTunes makeover (iTunes version 11 I think), they screwed something up. None of my smart playlists will apply in real time the "Last Played" search criteria. This is very annoying. Please, please fix it.
And how about the ability to duplicate a playlist, to make new playlist. Not to have two of the same playlists, but so the second one can then be edited to something similar to the first (as opposed to having to build a new similar sophisticated playlist from scratch). This would save a lot of time in some cases.

How do I generate a compiled app with a user interface running real-time?

Hi everyone,
I've developed a simple application that uses a PXI chassis to run. It toggles some discretes and does some simple things, but it doesn't really have any "real-time" requirements. We're just using the PXI chassis because we have it and we need the discrete I/O.
My question is this - how can I convert this application to a compiled real-time app and yet maintain the front panel on the local PC. LabView appears to simply do this for me. I am connected to the real-time target via ethernet. When I compiled the program, it puts it in the target's startup directory, but how do I run the front panel from the local PC?
Thanks,
Jason

Play/pause key plays a sound

greetings
while listening to iTunes, whenever I press the play/pause (F8) key it plays a sound. I it just started doing this and i'm not sure why. how can I turn this off?
Additionally, The sound DOES NOT play when I press the play/pause button with my mouse in iTunes, it only happens when using the keyboard.
Thanks
BC

nevermind. there was a rogue sound file on my desktop that was played whenever i hit that key

We have a PCI-6110S to run our VIs. But, we are planing to buy another card (PCI-6024E) to run real time PID vi. So, if they are installed at the same computer, would it be a problem for LabVIEW to run both of them at the same time.

We have PCI-6110 S series installed in our computer. We are planing to purchase PCI-6024 E series card. They will be both installed at the same computer.
1) I am wondering if we run both of them at the same time, would we have any problem?
2) To run PID real time, can any E series of PCI card be used?
Thanks...

Hello Baho,
1) Using Traditional NI-DAQ, there could be problems with the fact that the NI-DAQ driver is not multi-threaded; meaning that while waiting for one operation to complete, the driver could cause another operation to time out. On the other hand, DAQmx is multi-threaded, and would eliminate this problem. At the time of this writing though, DAQmx does not yet support simultaneous-sampling boards like the PCI-6110S. A good solution then would be to use Traditional DAQ for the 6110S and DAQmx for the E-series board, and they would by default run in separate threads.
2) No, using a PCI E-Series board, the LabVIEW VI would have to run in a Windows OS and would not be Real Time or run deterministically. You can run the PID program in Windows, but the
results could be inconsistent. The advantage of a Real Time is that the OS is deterministic or that the OS allows you to tightly control or determine the maximum time any function takes to operate. This kind of control of the maximum operation time is not possible with non-Real Time OSs such as Windows.
If you would like to get set up with a Real Time System, I suggest you contact your Technical Sales Representative.

Playing DivX movies in Quick Time Player 7 Pro in WinVista 64-bit

Hello everyone,
I am just a new comer here and recently purchased iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
I would like to know how I can convert DVD movies and DivX Movies to iPod movies version.
I just upgraded QuickTimePlayer to Pro, some movies can be converted and played but all DivX movies cannot be played. The DivX movies are lack of graphic and the Player asks about the third component which is DivX Codec.
The DivX Player I have right now is Pro and DivX codec is installed in my laptop.
What should I do to play the DivX Movies in QuickTime Player and convert them to iPod Movies?
I also would like to ask about MPEG-2 Component. What is it for? and I am wondering if
I should purchase MPEG-2 component for QuickTime Player 7 Pro to have DVD playing with the player and to be able to convert DVD movies into iPod Touch Movies?
Does it really work?
Can anyone help me?
I am looking forward to hearing from you all.
Thank you very mcuh.
Edmond

I am not an expert in codecs, but I bought the software Amadis DVD to ipod convertor, and it works fine.
It allows you to convert full DVD or even single-video files (AVI, MPEG, etc), and suggest you the codecs required (if you do not have them installed).
I really suggest you this software.
