Streaming video through Windows Media Player using USRP

Is there any document / guide or any example explaining how to do streaming through Windows Media Player using USRP.
Thanks
JK

Joseph,
I have been looking a bit more and have found a few examples that seem similar to what you are looking to do. Here is an example of video streaming using USRP RIO or FlexRIO https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-40747. I also found an example of doing wireless streaming of video https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22728. Sorry I was unable to find these in my first post; I hope they help!

Can't transfer music from windows media player to itunes

I have a ton of great music to put onto itunes from my wmp but keep getting hung up on different things! HELP!

WIndows Media Player uses WMA by default, and while iTunes for Windows i supposed to play WMAs, that isn't always the case.

Re: Windows Media Player- Pops Up

Hello, one little problem I can't fix.
Everytime I move my laptop the Windows Media Player pops up on the screen and I have to close it. Just makes a BEEP sound and there it is.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
Why not monitor the data flow of Windows Media Player using Resourse Monitor? follow as the photo below:
In Network part, check if you can find Wmplayer.exe and it takes up huge data flow.
As for me, Windows media player cannot download and upload pictures. All pictures showing in Wmplyaer is stored in Picture Library or C:\users\public\pictures\simple pictures. Please check where those odd photos are. I suspect you have set this path
for web cache.

RE: Windows Media Player

Hello,
I have found that my Windows Media Player is downloading photographs from sites that I visit. It keeps them and uploads them from an unknown device. I am thinking that this unknown device is the Internet or specific sites that I visit while browsing online.
Anyway...it is making my system slow because of all the memory it uses to accomplish these processes.
I do not want Windows Media Player to download/upload photographs without my permission. I have so many odd and peculiar photos on my Windows Media Player now. I uploaded/downloaded none of them.
Can I stop WMP from automatically putting photos on my hard drive via WMP?
When you have time, please allow me some terms and support for accomplishing this task.
Sincerely,
Seth

Authoring DVDs for Windows Media Player: right hand menu bar

Hi, I'm using DVD Studio Pro 4 to author a DVD. It's quite a simple one, just an option to play the whole video or to go to the chapter index, where there are 9 chapters to choose from.
I've noticed in Windows Media Player that, although the DVD works fine and the video and chapter names come up on the menu as expected, in the player's menu bar on the right you get "Untitled DVD" and then "Title" 1-10 instead of the video and chapter names. Is there any way of authoring the DVD so that this right menu bar displays meaningful names? Or is this something that needs to be done in the player?

The info that Windows Media Player uses to identify the disc is not stored on the disc. Windows Media Player accesses on on-line database to get the DVD name, exactly the same way that iTunes get CD names. If you do not have a commercial DVD then all that will ever appear is, "Untitled DVD".

How to communicate servlets with windows media player

I am new to web programming I am developing an application through which a client can play media file.
I am getting problem in,how to communicate servlet through windows media player.
I have developed the basic architecture of my application using tiger server,now I want to open media file through windows media player using openURL option(http request).
Can any body guide me how to build a servlet which can listen this request and how to respond appropriately
Please Reply.

Check out the java doc for HttpServletResponse
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html
Your sevlet will have to set the response contentType to the appropriate mime type
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/mime.asp
and contentLength to the file size (in bytes), then open the mp3/wma file and write the bytes to the servlet output stream.
You could also choose to return an asx file (an xml document containing a url of the media file), and windows media player will automatically lookup the mp3/wma file stored on your web server.

DVD looks fuzzy in Windows Media Player

Hello,
I've created a DVD in Encore 2.0 that has uncompressed quicktime files and high-res .tif images. The DVD works fine but when I play in a client's Windows Media Player, the elements look soft. I went back to the project and checked everything and they looked fine coming out of Encore.
Could it be the monitor settings for Windows Media Player? We seem to have the problem when viewed in full-screen mode. Or can it be that the Media Player is having problems with the quick time files? Is it best to convert the QT files to AVI before importing into Encore?
Any help is much appreciated...thanks

> also, the dvd decoder that windows media player uses isn't the best. try using PowerDVD, i've had better luck with that one.
This is very misleading. WMP uses the MPEG-2 decoder you installed with your commercial Soft DVD player. There is no default MPEG-2 decoder installed with Windows XP - it is not there. No Soft player, WMP will not play a DVD.
>go to file/transcode/edit project transcode presets. here are the settings i use. feel free to suggest better settings.
This is also misleading. As a general rule of thumb, allow Encore to use the "Automatic" mode until you learn exactly what all these parameters actually do, or you may well end up creating a file that is not DVD compliant, or will not play properly. Max bitrates of 8.5Mb/sec is asking for trouble with writen DVD.
> DVD resolution is 720x480 (assuming NTSC). Your monitor resolution might be something like 1280x1024, 1600x1200, 1280x720, 1920x1080, etc. Viewing the video at full screen will make it look "soft" because it is being scaled up to your monitor resolution. View it at actual size and see how it looks.
Great advice. As WMP does not have special firmware to upscale SD resolution properly, it will indeed look "softer" than it should for exactly these reasons.
Set top players that can upscale are a different kettle of fish altogether.

Install Windows Media Player with GPO

Hello,
I want to install Windows Media Player on multiple machines by using a GPO. Anyone who knows how to do this? Because I have little experience doing this. but figured this should be pretty easy. Any other way is appreciated, as long as it is managable.
Thanks in advance.

Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

How do I force Safari to use Windows Media Player as my default WMV player.

I am subscribed to a educational program called "the Epson Online Experience", and the entire program is in Windows Media Player videos. I was using Safari and Mac OS 10.3.9 with no problem what so ever, until Quick Time updated itself. Now I can't get WMP to play at all in Safari, or in Camino or IE either. The browsers just keep trying to play the link in Quick Time.
I did download Flip4Mac, but with no luck. The links now appear to open, appear to be downloading the buffer, but will stay on that screen for hours if I allow it.
Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player the default media player in Safari? or for that matter, in Camino (or if I MUST, I guess I would be willing to try it in IE too if I could make it work.
Thanks for the help!
Jodan

Welcome to Apple Discussions. Your post seems to have been lost in a sea of Safari problems.
Usually items triggering media players create a file, which is downloaded into your system. Check your download folder for the file. If you can't find it, access the same file again via Safari.
Once you locate the file on your HD, click on it. Then, command key + I will bring up the info panel for the file (or simply select "more info" in the preview panel if you're in the finder's column mode). Go to the bottom where you'll see "open with". There, you see "quicktime" listed as the app. for opening the file. Click on the drop down menu and find the Windows player and select it.
Back to the info. panel - select "change all". This will revert all files of this type on your HD, plus future files to the Windows Media Player. Double click on the file to activate the video. Future selections in Safari will automatically open the correct media player. One other note, for the player to open automatically, you must check "open safe files after downloading" in your Safari Preferences>General panel.
Post back with results.

C00D118E: You device is using an outdated driver that is no longer supported by Windows Media Player

Hi,
I have Treo Pro trying to sync with my library in WMP 11... I'm getting error "C00D118E: You device is using an outdated driver that is no longer supported by Windows Media Player"... Tried to install pTune with no luck... Tried to Google it with no luck...
Connecting the other device "i-mate Ultimate 9502" with no issues even using same memory cardin Palm Treo Pro...
My temporary solution is to put the memory card in the 9502, sync my multimedia files and then reinsert it in Treo Pro... You help is highly needed and appreciated...
