Gnome 3.16 Can't Suspend With Media Player Open

I have been seeing this problem since I updraded to Gnome 3.16. I use GDM.
Normally when I close the laptop lid, the computer is suspended (the power led changes color and starts blinking). But sometimes, when the lid is closed, the system seems to get stuck. The power led doesnot change color, and when I open the lid after some time, the screen is blank but I can't seem to wake it up. I can hear a slight humming (I guess it's the harddisk). I have to turn it off with the power button, and when I start the computer back there is a bunch of "Orpaned node removed" messages. The longer I leave the system in that state the more is these messages.
After a few hit and trial I figured out that every time the system went to that state there was some media player running (Rhymbox, VLC, Banshee, Audacious). They don't need to be playing, even when they are just open. So I guess the bug is in something common between them. Maybe they have some interface with gnome-shell or gdm to supress screenlock when they are playing and the bug is there?
Here is the output to uname -a
Linux squgeim-V5473 3.19.3-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 14:10:00 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here is the /etc/systemd/login.conf file:

#IdleAction=ignore
#IdleActionSec=30min
#RuntimeDirectorySize=10%
#RemoveIPC=yes
I have tried uncommenting the HandleLidSwitch. When uncommented the system is not suspended at all.
Can someone point to any fix or to where exactly the bug is, so I can file a bug report.

This issue has since been resolved. I do not know how. I did a system update yesterday and it had updates for linux kernel and gnome, so maybe that was that.

(HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod

How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod
We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. . or can they help us? PL E A SE E E HELLPPP!

tt2,
Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>

Now I went and switched the part from <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

Tracks ripped with EAC Play alphabetically, when ripped with Media Player Play in the correct or

I just got my new zen touch. I downloaded the new firmware update and it seems to be working great.
The only problem is that when I add music that I've ripped with Exact Audio Copy c/ Lame Encoder to MP3, The tracks don't play in the correct order on my Zen Touch.
When I add an album ripped with Microsoft Media Player, it plays them in the correct order.
I think that the ID3 tags have all the appropriate info becuase when I hold my curser (on the computer) over the eac ripped tracks, the pop up menu list the track #, artist name and song title etc.
I've read the FAQ and it doesn't matter if I select Album-Play, Artist-Album-Play. I've tried all combos.
Anybody with experience using EAC? I've looked in the settings and I can't find anything wrong.
Is it possible that EAC is using and ID3 Format that my computer recognizes but my zen touch doesnt.
But Media Player uses an ID3 format that it does recognize.
Also, The album ripped with media player was ripped to WMA. While all the tracks ripped with EAC that are giving me trouble were ripped to MP3.

What software are you using to copy? Make sure both that and the drivers are completely up-to-date.

I have imported a WMA-file in Audio-1 track of PE – still no sound to hear. But I can see the sound in the track. (Like in my video-clip) Therefore I also think it is a setting in PE. Will you be so kind to tell me where I have to look? Because I am no expert. Or is it possible that I have to activate anything in PE? It is first time that I will work with PE 9.
Further information: The original sound of the Mini-DVD is 5:1 surround. After first problem I have changed Nero to export in Stereo, but this did not solve the problem.
Thanks and regards

How can I use Microsoft Media Player with my new iPod Nano?

I do not like the iTunes player. I want to use the Microsoft Media Player with my iPod Nano. I dislike the iTunes player so much that if I don't get this resolved I will have to return the iPod Nano.

Michelle,
You can download media components for QuickTime which will enable you to play WMA files through QuickTime on your Mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-media-components-quicktime
Alternatively, Get the free VLC player for Mac, which will play almost all media types:
http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac
If the interview requires Windows Media Player to be running to conduct the interview, then I fear you may be stuck, there is not a version of Windows Media Player for Mac - It is for Windows. Your options in this case would be to borrow a Windows PC or install a valid copy of Windows on your MacBook under BootCamp.

Headset randomly won't activate or deactivate. Can change manually only with media player or during call.

Can I use Windows Media Player with my Mac?

    I am scheduled to have an interview via WEBEX and need to make sure that all the components of the Universal Communications Format are up and running. When I did a diagnosis check on my MacBook Pro, the Windows Media Player 9.0 or newer said I needed a plug in to run. Where can I find this plug in?
   Thank you!!

Crash and restart while playing audio book with Media player

Hi,
I'm currently trying to play an audio book (approx. 4 1/2 hours length) ind m4b-format.
This file plays well with iPod, SE K850i and iTunes on Mac.
The file begins tp play properly on my Curve too.
But when I try to go to some part of the book after around 3h or later (by using the scroll bar of the media application),
I sometimes get a prompt telling me, that I'm using a invalid file format (though Media plays it from 0h on without problems).
In addition, the Blackberry freezes, the LED on top lights red and the Blackberry restarts!! Wow!
I can reproduce this with different audio books, all playing well on the other devices I use.
The m4b files are creaated with Audio Book Builder and contain no DRM rights as they are not downloaded from iTunes Store or audible.
I'm using a Blackberry Curve 8310 v4.2.2.176
Micro Edition Media Version 1.1
Allthough I think that my curve should crash while playing a simple audio book, I would even be gladif you could lead me to a third-party software which supports audio-books properly, so at least I can
hear my Audio books while there is no patch for the curve available which solces the problem natively.
Allthough I think that my curve should crash while playing a simple audio book.
Thanks for any help in advance.

You are talking about a specific audio file format : m4b. It stands for "MPEG4, Part 14", which is not currently supported by the Blackberry Curve. The list of supported file formats, including mp3 and "MPEG4, Part 2", is available here :
Supported media files
I don't know if there is a Blackberry application that can read that m4b format. You can, on your PC, convert the m4b file into a regular mp3 file, then transfert the mp3 file to your blackberry. There are many free tools to do that, I'll give you one : LameDrop. Its a small square, you drag'n'drop your files on it et voilà.

Small issue with media player after install of 4.5 OS

I have the BB Curve 8330 and recently upgraded the OS to the new 4.5.0.56
So before the upgrade I could be listening to tunes and when a call or email or message came in the tunes would only stop during the notification. Now however the tunes will not restart and I have to manually navigate back to the media player.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can not find or am I stuck with this now?

Lunch video stream uri in wp8.1 with media player

hello every one,
i have a problem with opening the default media player, to play a video (a stream uri from youtube) in widows phone 8.1
when i was write to windows phone 8.0 i used
MediaPlayerLauncher mediaPlayerLauncher = new MediaPlayerLauncher();
mediaPlayerLauncher.Show();
and now i used (wp8.1) :
bool success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(_videoUrl, options);
that open IE file download with a open/save dialog.
if i click on open it's open the windows media player and play the video as i wanted
how can i skip the save file dialog and automatically open the windows media player with my youtube stream uri?
thanks a lot,
Or yaacov

Hi,
>>that open IE file download with a open/save dialog
In WP Runtime,
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync is the only way to play supported video using default media player:
// The URI to launch
var uri = new Uri(@"MICROSOFTVIDEO://www.example.com/testFile.wmv");
// Launch the URI with a warning prompt
var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);
>>how can i skip the save file dialog and automatically open the windows media player with my youtube streamuri?
Because this question is related to the function of this video site, I would suggest you referring to its official API site:

What you can do is to go to music player then click options and then exit...
hope this helps.
