HD Media Player OSX Support

Wasn't sure exactly where to post this.
Can someone please help!!!!!!!
I have an Apple G4 Powerbook running 10.5.8
I bought an Astone AP-360T today and updated the firmware on it, but i cannot copy any files to it from my mac, nor is it recognising any of my USB drives.
It has a WD (advanced format) 2TB inside it, which was formatted using the AP-360-T.
I do not have a network or wireless capabilities, just the PC Link cable – which is seeing the HDD but it is read only.
Please help!

When I first bought it I connected it to my mac and formatted the drive as Mac OS Journaled, but when plugged back into the TV it did not recognise the internal drive any longer....
What would I format it to? Only option in Disk Utility seems to be MS DOS (FAT) – is that any different to NTFS?
Sorry I not completely useless, but not very technical either!

Media player that supports arbitrary tag fields

I'm looking for a media player, along the lines of Rhythmbox or Amarok, that supports sorting/grouping/editing of arbitrary metatag fields.
I'm finding the standard Artist/Album/Title setup a bit limiting for my library. For my purposes (academic - critical listening and comparison of classical music), I need to have tags for the composer, piece, movement, conductor, performer('s), publisher, album name, publication date, and recording date.
Vorbis comments work well for this, as they allow arbitrary field names. But, to my knowledge, none of the music players make use of this degree of freedom.
Any suggestions?

Quod Libet & its companion Ex Falso tagger should work (in the repos). I successfully added the arbitrary tag "sub-genre" using the preferences dialog; both the Quod Libet player and library handled those tags just fine.
http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet
The "sub-genre" tag was originally added to files (FLAC, Ogg, MPC, MP3) with MP3Tag and played / displayed in Foobar2000 on Windows ... both of these apps are really the holy grail of flexibility that you are looking for, but Linux has nothing closely approximating them, especially Foobar2000 (I think there is a wine tutorial for Foobar2000 on HydrogenAudio forums, but if you've not had experience with Foobar under Windows, I'm not sure I'd want to start out with it on Linux/Wine.
Anyway, the underlying mutagen metadata handler used by Quod Libet and Ex Falso is what allows their flexibility in handling tags, and it is available in other players as well, including Listen and Exaile. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, neither Listen or Exaile implemented much of the power of mutagen (at least I couldn't see that arbitrary tags could be added / displayed), plus Exaile is buggy as h*ll in my experience. The biggest problem I have with all these players that I have mentioned (including Quod Libet) is that they are python apps, and I have a thing about (against) python apps. They are really resource hungry, and even though I have plenty of power to spare, I just dislike the concept of having to run an app to run an app, so to speak (as is the way python and java, which I also dislike, work). But, sometimes you have to suck it up.
So, give Quod Libet a try if you've gotten anything positive out of what I've said (beyond my python bias, Quod Libet is good and pretty popular). I'm not currently using Quod (I'm using MPD + gMPC, and it doesn't handle arbitrary tags either), but I may give Quod another chance at some point just for the tag handling.
Someone else may know of another solution, and if so, we'll both learn something useful.

When in firefox, I get a message that says no version of windows media player is supported. When I euse internet explorer with the same website, no error occurs. Why?

I am working in the H&R Block website. When I get ready to take a test in their system, I get that error message described above. If I exit Firefox and use internet explorer instead there is no problem.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Ugrading Media Player security needs codec

To use OverDrive Media Console, I am attempting to upgrade Windows Media Player security to 2.5.0.1 and I get a message that an audio codec is required. Any idea what codec I need or how to get what is needed?

Hi,
Here is a detailed article to describe Windows Media Player Codec:

Problems with Windows Media Player for OSX and IMAC G5 Intel Duo

I was able to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac but when I surf on the net and I click on the WMP files, instead of opening automatically, it downloads the content and only then lets me open it.
Also, with live streaming, when I click for the window to open it will say that: "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?".
Except that I already downladed WMP... It worked fine with the PowerPc G5 so it must be the Intel chip. Please help.

Imac G5 20" INtel Duo 2GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.6)
Imac G5 20" INtel Duo 2GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Microsoft has abandoned WMP for the Mac and has ceased development. You may wish to consider and alternative!
WMP 9 for Mac is not a Universal binary, so it does not run natively on Intel iMacs. It runs using Rosetta. If the WMP plugin is installed in HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ for it to run usable by Safari you must be using Safari with Rosetta.
I have two versions of Safari, Safari - Uni & Safari - Rose, Uni runs natively and Rose uses Rosetta. To make a Rose version;
1. Right-click Safari and choose Duplicate
2. Rename the copy whatever you like to tell it from the other; ex: Safari - Rose
3. Right-click Safari - Rose and choose Get Info
4. In the top pane of the Info window check the box Run using Rosetta.
You need to use Safari -Rose for websites with WMP multimedia material to get it to play in the browser.
There are also WMP replacements that you can use with Safari such as Flip4Mac and others. Here is a Discussion that covers many of the alternatives;

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...

MS Media Player 10 WMA Support W

My Nomad Zen doesn't play the latest files I rip with the new Media Player version 0.
[Windows Media Audio 9. - VBR Quality 90, 44 kHz, stereo -pass VBR]
Is this a problem with my unit or do I need a firmware upgrade to support this?
If this is a firmware issue, Is there any hope for a firmware upgrade?

I have a similar problem, but at least I can play the files I encode on my Zen Xtra. I have isolated the cause to the Windows Media Audio 9. codec. I can literally encode any WMA file at any compression rate (92, 256, 320 kbps ? CBR? etc) and the track length error is repeated (Read below for more info?)
Here?s the link to my thread: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=27390#M7053
Which says this...
<"I am having problems with tracks encoded as Windows Media Audio 9. ? CBR 320 kbps, 44kHz, 6 bit, stereo single pass using Adobe Audition .5 (in this instance ? though this problem occurs with various other WMA encoding programs such as Audio Conversion Wizard .65).
<These encoded files play fine on my pc using Windows Media Player 0 (or any other player) indicating a correct track length, but when these files are copied to my Zen Xtra (60GB) the track length display incorrectly. There is no problem with the mp3 equivalent - encoded CBR 320 kbps, 44kHz, 6 bit, stereo ? which work perfectly on both my pc and Zen Xtra.
<In detail - a 74 minute continuous play track may display as 2m 24s (depending on the file, the track length always varies) and as such I can only fast forward to this extent. If I was listening to say, 37m 24s on this track and depressed the fast forward button, holding a second or two, and then let go, it would jump back to 2m 24s despite indicating say 45m 37s. A nightmare!
<I could understand that there may be a problem ascertaining the correct track length on a VBR file but these are CBR.
<Any ideas or suggestion are welcome?"
I certainly don?t want to use older WMA codecs to encode my latest material. I have the most up-to-date firmware, drivers & applications available but no remedy.
Here?s the email I received from Creative after contacting them direct?
?Thank you for contacting Creative Technical Support.With regards to the issue, could you kindly do a Clean Up on the playerby accessing Recovery Mode?
Below are the steps on how to access Recovery Mode. Turn off your Zen player. Hold down the Play/Pause button and insert a paper clip into the Reset hole on the Jukebox Zen. Remove the paper clip from the Reset hole and then release the Play/Pause button after the recovery mode has started. The Jukebox Zen will enter the Recovery Mode and the following options will be displayed:Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players hard disk)Format All (Formats the players hard disk - Note: all contents will be lost) Reload OS (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox. Note: Reloading your OS, will not effect the contents of the files stored on your Jukebox Zen)Reboot (Reboots the device).Select the first option to do a Clean Up. This allows the player to re-organize the files on the hard dri've, and fix any file problems that may have developed. After a clean-up, if you reboot, a symbol with the message "Re-building Library" shows up before normal functioning (depending on the amount of songs on your Zen, it might take a few minutes to rebuild the library).After doing a Clean Up, do download and install the latest firmware update for the player from our website at the following link.http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/Under Product Type, select MP3 Players, followed by Zen (Hard Disk Dri've/ Micro) and then select NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra. For OS, select Windows XP. The file to be downloaded is Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra Firmware Update version .20.08 (.03 MB).After downloading the file, kindly access Recovery Mode on the player again and this time select the 3rd option to Reload OS.NOTE: Reloading your Operating System should not affect the contents of your Zen.WARNING: Before reloading the OS, the firmware update from the website MUST be downloaded onto the computer first in order to complete thereload process.From Rescue Mode Scroll to Option 3 and press the scroller. The Message "OS will be erased. Reload it via USB. Continue?" appears Choose the correct icon (Yes). "Erasing OS..." appears.When you see the message "Start Firmware update now!" do so as quickly as possible.FIRMWARE UPDATEownload to its own folder and extract the firmware on your computer. After that, install the firmware by following the on-screen instructions.
I think I need to send them another email clarifying that it is a problem with the WMA 9. codec. Perhaps they might have the answer?

Best overall media player for Tiger? Need WMA support!

Alright well a few short months ago before I bought and fell in love with my Mac, I ripped my entire collection to WMA. Now that all I use is mac, I need to listen to them and the windows media player has super limited functionality and Itunes, which i love, doesn't play WMAs? So, what should I use? I want to make playlists and all that crap but I cna't with either! Help!

Using Quicktime Pro you can edit some audio settings. You can manage the Quicktime documents themselves in the Finder to create pseudo playlists if you use the folders of the Finder, and the naming and aliasing of the documents ordering of the Finder to manage the order songs appear in. Granted, not the most elegant of solutions, but a temporary one until you do have MPEG-3 support. You may find other WMA programs on http://www.versiontracker.com/ or http://www.macupdate.com/ with additional support.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
How do I fix this?

That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.
Regards.

I am getting an error saying "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". When I look at my list of plugins I do see that I have Window Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. Why am I getting this error?

I am trying to load a page & I get the error "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". I then go to the tools & to add ons & to plugins. There under the plugins is Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. It is enabled. My question is what does this error mean? Do I have the Media Player I need or not?

Notes:
1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

Here is my need. I need to take my video clips with me on my small PC and view them at slow speed. My playback PC is small and a little slow, so I cant have a very high bitrate. It uses an ATOM processor. It uses windows media player. I noticed the slow playback option is available in some formats when opened with windows media player, other formats--feature not available. What are the best output settings to save my clips on my small PC?

Just to add a few details:
As stated, WMP 11.0.5xxx
OS = XP-Pro SP3
Intel Core2 Quad 2.66GHz
RAM = 4GB
Graphics chip = nVidia GeForce 8800M (recent, but not latest nVidia driver)

Qcurly,
Probably your menu bar is hidden. To reveal it, click the triangle by the half-shaded box at upper left and click on Show Menu Bar (as piictured). This will reveal the menu bar with File, Edit, View, etc.

J2me Media player with windows DRM support

Hi guys
I am trying to build a j2me client , which will support windows DRM ,
has any one tried out this , or could point me to any links or information.
thanks

Both work here without any problem. I suspect a bad installation. Start over by first deleting these from ~/Library/Preferences/: com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist, Windows Media Favorites, Windows Media Player Prefs; these from /Library/Internet Plug-ins/: /Disabled Plug-ins/Windows Media Plugin, Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin, and Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin; and the Flip4Mac WMV.prefPane from /Library/Preference Panes/Flip4Mac WMV.prefPane, restarting, repairing permissions, reinstalling WMP and see if it launches. If so, reinstall Flip4Mac and see if that launches. If you have any problems, report back.
