Gnome-music and Rhythmbox display wrong audio tags

Hi,
I've seen that both these two audio players (and maybe others, I don't know) show wrong audio tags. The "album year" tag is set correctly for all my .m4a songs (it can be seen from nautilus or from any tagging software) but Rhythmbox and Gnome-music always show the wrong year, without any apparent reason.
Did anyone encounter the same problem? How to fix?
Thanks in advance

Yeah I found that I had inconsistencies with Rhythmbox and tags as well. This is how I fixed my problems.
1) Install Easytag.
2) Open Rhythmbox, right click on the song (or select all the tracks and then right click) and hit properties.
3) Change the incorrect tag to what it should be.
4) Open Easytag, locate the tarcks that you just edited in Rhythmbox. You should find that they are highlighted in bold. Select the tracks and then click the "Save changes to selected files" button in the Easytag toolbar. If you've selected multiple tracks then you'll need to tick the box saying you want to apply the action to all files.
The tags should be consistent across all your music programs now. Hope this helps!

CMFCToolbar and CMFCMenubar displaying wrong tooltips

Quastion asked also on
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29800791/cmfctoolbar-and-cmfcmenubar-displaying-wrong-tooltips
Hello.
I am using Visual Studio 2010, but I suspect the bug is still present on the 2013 version, as I compared the winfrm.cpp file and the OnToolTipText are exactly equal on the two files.
The bug is happening always at the 7th, 8th or 16th element.
Although separators count as elements for this counting, the tooltips do not appear over them.
Element can be a textual MENUITEM, a POPUP menu or toolbar button.
The string table defines are:
    #define IDS_SEVEN            7
    #define IDS_EIGHT            8
    #define IDS_NINE             9
    #define IDS_TEN             10
    #define IDS_ELEVEN          11
    #define IDS_TWELVE          12
    #define IDS_THIRTEEN        13
    #define IDS_FOURTEEN        14
    #define IDS_FIFTEEN         15
    #define IDS_SIXTEEN         16
and the STRINGTABLE contents are:
    IDS_SEVEN           "Seven"
    IDS_EIGHT           "Eight"
    IDS_NINE            "Nine"
    IDS_TEN             "Ten"
    IDS_ELEVEN          "Eleven"
    IDS_TWELVE          "Twelve"
    IDS_THIRTEEN        "Thirteen"
    IDS_FOURTEEN        "Fourteen"
    IDS_FIFTEEN         "Fifteen"
    IDS_SIXTEEN         "Sixteen"
So, when I hover with the mouse pointer the 7th, 8th or 16th element I get WRONGLY a tooltip displaying the string with that ID (Example:7th element displays "Seven").
It happens with all my toolbars and all my menus with a sufficient number of items, including in the toplevel horizontal menubar.
I discovered that the guilty function is:
BOOL CFrameWnd::OnToolTipText(UINT, NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
as the nID local variable does not get the ABSOLUTE ID of the Command, but the POSITIONAL order of the button, starting with 1 instead of 0.
If I would move the strings IDs out of that range, whenever a user wants to add new strings, the Visual Studio Resource Editor would see that space free and use it, filling it again. And the problem would happen again. So, it is not a valid solution.
I could also define strings for all commands. But as we are maintaining four TFS branches at the same time and the change needs to go to all branches, this change would be potentially very dangerous when doing merges after.
So, please what solution do you recommend to not display those stupid tooltips?
UPDATE: I didn't copy the string table exactly as it was. It was like this:
    IDS_SEVEN           "Seven\nSeven"
    IDS_EIGHT           "Eight\nEight"
    IDS_NINE            "Nine"
    IDS_TEN             "Ten"
    IDS_ELEVEN          "Eleven"
    IDS_TWELVE          "Twelve"
    IDS_THIRTEEN        "Thirteen"
    IDS_FOURTEEN        "Fourteen"
    IDS_FIFTEEN         "Fifteen"
    IDS_SIXTEEN         "Sixteen\nSixteen"

In the update I put a stringtable more similar to the one I had. I had not noticed before a common feature of 7, 8 and 16 th strings: they all had '\n' characters in their contents.
I think nobody will create a menu with more than 512 menuitems nor toolbars with more than 512 buttons, so my solution was to change all strings containing '\n' characters with an ID below 512 to numbers above 512.
And it works.

Encore authored DVD displaying wrong audio track language info

Authored a number of DVDs using Encore CS6. Some play fine and some show incorrect audio track language info when played back on a DVD player even though they are programmed correctly and the same as the ones playing correctly. Has anyone else encountered this? If so, what was the fix?

Hi,
Can you please add some detail to "incorrect audio track language info when played back on a DVD player even though they are programmed correctly" - what exactly is the error you get - do you get any audio playback?
And how are the discs "programmed" - do you have multiple audio tracks, for example English and Spanish?
Please let us know the normal workflow you use to create a DVD. Does it use Dynamic Link from Premiere to Encore, do you encode assets first, how do you make DVDs? Video and audio source formats?
Screen grabs can be very helpful to show settings used at various stages.
Thank you

When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

Play() method not implemented HTML5 audio tag?

Hello,
I am trying to play a sound using the HTML5 audio-tag and Adobe Air SDK 2.5.
This is part of the HTML5 code:
    <audio preload="auto" id="myTone">
        <source src="test.mp3">
        <source src="test.ogg">
    </audio>
And from javascript I do:
    a = document.getElementById("myTone");
    a.play();
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I get this error message in the console window:
    TypeError: Result of expression 'a.play' [undefined] is not a function.
However, when I run this code directly in Firefox 3.6.11 on my Windows XP machine, it works.
Dito in Safari 3.2.1 on my Mac OS 10.5.6 computer.
So apparantly, not all methods and events of the audio-tag are implemented in the Adobe AIR environment.
Is this by design? Or is it a bug?
I know there is another way to play sounds (I read Jeff Swartz' article - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/ajax/quickstart/articles/sound_in_html.html). But I think a pure HTML5 solution would be cleaner.
Who can provide more info about this issue?
Many thanks.
Jay

Hi there,
same issue here.
A workaround, far from perfect, is to request the base64 encoded data using an Ajax call
and set the src attribute of the audio element to 'data:audio/mpeg;base64,' + base64encodedaudio.

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Can you transfer music and audio books between computers via home sharing?

I just reformatted my iMac and would like to restore some music and an audio book from my MacBook Pro. Somehow, I got the audio book onto my MacBook Pro, which was originally downloaded to my iMac, but now I can't seem to transfer it back.
Thanks,
Paul

I figured it out. Home sharing was not activated on the iMac, even though I could see both computers on each computer. I tried to transfer all my music from the iMac to my MacBook Pro before I wiped everything off the iMac, but couldn't figure it out. I with I knew that before I reformatted it. I do, however, however, have everything backed up on disks. iTunes is one of the most confusing programs I've ever used...

I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects. I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

I am using logic to record a podcast. I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time. I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects. I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast. Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it? Thanks.

Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book? Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

New MacBook Pro and 30" display - resolution wrong

Just got new MBP with Snow Leopard. Had 30" Cinema Display connected to old mbp with dual DVI (at least, I think that's what it is - I'm not connector/adapter literate). Since there was no port for the multi-pin part of the adapter I called Apple support, who told me I needed "dual link DVI cable" - she told me it sells for about $10. The Apple store Genius told me I already had a dual link DVI cable, based on the fact that the display worked with my old mbp and that I needed a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, which cost $29. Hooked it up and 30" display came to life, but the maximum resolution available in system preferences is 1280 x 800. I really need the full resolution for work. Can anyone give me a solution or will I have to go back to the Apple store tomorrow?

Thanks. That was exactly what I needed. I'm a little disappointed with the initial tech support solution and the genius at the store. I've never been steered wrong by apple support before.

I just updated itunes and now it will not play any of my music. What is wrong?

I just updated to the new version of itunes and now it will not play any of my music. It says that it is playing but nothing happens.
