Home Sharing source codes or properties ?

Hello everyone, homesharing is using for sharing another computer. I thought that an android device is also a computer. so i want to find a way to use my itunes library on my android device. That way could be a program, or a service or something else. I just want to use my android device as a computer for sharing itunes library on my local network.
So, how do i access homesharing properties for developing an android program. Is apple sharing them (i dont believe that apple and sharing codes words could stay together. just a tiny hope)

Home Sharing is working perfectly fine for me, and I'm quite sure many others. I'm using Windows 7, a Linksys WRT54G router with WPA2 security enabled, and iTunes 10.1.2. It would help if you could answer a few questions:
1- Let's start with the obvious -- what version iTunes are you using? (you need 10.1 but didn't say)
2- Have you enabled Home Sharing on your computer and ATV?
3- What router make and model are you using? I don't know of specific issues here, but others may.
4- Is the ATV hooked up to your router via ethernet, or wireless? If wireless, try ethernet at least temporarily if you can, just to narrow down the problem as it may be a wireless configuration in your router's settings.
5- Using the Remote App on your iPhone, can you control the ATV? Or, can you only stream audio to ATV from your iPhone? If Remote works, can you get to YouTube, Netflix, or the iTunes store and successfully play any content?

  • Apple TV 2 Home Sharing depends on Source Device?

    So I've been running into an issue with Home Sharing on my Apple TV 2.  This is present on both the 4.2.2 and 4.3.2 firmware. (I own 2 Apple TV 2's. One vanilla and one running FireCore aTV Flash Black)
    When attempting to play back video content from my Mac Mini (C2D, 2GB RAM, 2.0Ghz, Mid 2007) I was unable to load any HD content, and SD content was also pretty miserable. I recently discovered this when trying to play Dexter Season 5 HD from my Mac Mini to my Apple TV 2.  Both devices on wi-fi initially.
    I tried this both from wired and wireless configurations, I tried switching my Airport Extreme to 5Ghz only, (which my Mac Mini lacks "n"), and no combination of configurations seemed to resolve the issue.
    Reluctantly, I decided to try importing the TV Shows to my Macbook Pro (13", 8GB RAM, 2.4Ghz, Mid-2010). What I found was that everything now worked seamlessly.  I tried this wired, wireless, and even went so far as to hook my MBP up to the same network cable my Mac Mini was using to see if it had anything to do with the gigabit switch it was connected to.  In every scenario Home Sharing to my Apple TV 2 from my Macbook Pro worked as designed.
    So this got me thinking.  Does the ability/quality to AirPlay/Home Share to the Apple TV 2 depend on the source device?  My CPU nor my RAM on the Mac Mini were ever troubled or maxed out by attempting to stream content to my Apple TV 2. This leads me to believe the only component that could be causing the issue is the GPU. My Mac Mini only has the Intel GMA 950 GPU, my MBP has a NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB.
    It makes sense to me that the Apple TV 2 isn't really decoding the video file.  The hardware really isn't there to support decoding video streams. It seems likely to me that the heavy lifting is done by the source device and the transcoded video/audio is simply presented by the ATV2.
    Does anyone actually understand the technical workings of AirPlay/Home Sharing?  Perhaps an iOS developer?
    If this is the case I'm going to have to start looking to upgrade my Mac Mini.  It's about time anyway, but this would be the final tipping point in my upgrade debate.
    P.S.: "Senior" community members who have nothing to contribute should refrain from responding to this thread only to pad their post counts. Legitimate responses only please.

    Ok, I'm glad you've said that, now what documentation do you have to back that up? Where in the Apple documentation/support site can you point to backup your claim? Do you tested any configurations that would support your assumptions?
    I'd assume that the Apple TV 2 does most of the work, but the evidence I have collected does not support that assumption.
    You've just thrown your own response under the bus.  If the video is compressed, and the ATV2 is doing the decompression, you wouldn't need to worry about bandwidth, now would you?
    This is EXACTLY why I don't come to the communities/forums anymore.  Every "know-it-all" thinks they have THE answer, but they are just as clueless as everyone else.  The difference being they are chasing a status, and not the true answer to anyone's actual problem or question.
    If you would like to continue to dig this hole feel free. I'll take the shovel when you are done.
    I've been moderated and banned by this forum before for calling this kind of behaviour out, and I'm sure this will happen yet again.
    Does anyone else have documentation, proof, or some other concrete evidence to support how Home Sharing works from a device to the Apple TV 2?

  • Are we allowed to use the Web developer function in Firefox version 5.0 to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox home page?

    Locking at request of OP - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844506
    Are we allowed to use the Web developer function, under the "Firefox" tab in Firefox version 5.0, to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox version 5.0 home page ( so that we can personalize the home page )? Is this legal?
    Sincerely in Christ,
    Russell E. Willis

    Solution: (Free Download Manager)
    Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
    Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
    I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
    And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

  • I keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    i keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Home Page Framework Source Code

    Hello,
    I heard General Mills has done something by taking the home page framework source code. Does any of you know, where can I get the source code for Home Page FrameWork.
    Thanks, Appreciate help.

    haha Well General Mills wouldn't be the only ones. It's actually not hard at all. It is the XSS pieces that get installed as part of the installation....just plain ol' webdynpro code. You can also look at the backend class methods and make changes if you want. The sky is the limit.

  • Why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

    why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

    Every time I try to set up icloud i get a message that my account is not verified and I will get an email about how to verify it.  I never get the email.  I have reset my password 4 times.  My email address is good.  My apple id works everywhere it should. For some reason my ipad will find my ipad but not my iphone, and my iphone will find my ipad.  I cant change the setting on my iphone so the ipad can find it, because it is greyed out because icloud will not verify my email and password, and never sends me the email to verify it. Am I the only one with this problem?

  • HT4367 I am trying to activate home sharing but I am getting error code 5506. ID not  recognized.

    I am trying to activate home sharing for Apple 2tv, and getting error 5506.My ID is not being recognized. to enable me to share. Yet I can sign.Any answers.

    Yes, the store didn't properly activate the card. If the store is nearly then you could try going back and asking them to do so, if it isn't (or if they can't/won't help) then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • In home sharing, after selecting source, edit select all, import still unavailable

    On my new Win 8 laptop. Installed iTunes 11. Home sharing is working. I can see the old laptop Music under Shared in sidebar. I select it and the music items appear in list. Both are using latest v11 of iTunes. I do edit>select all. Then on bottom, I change all items to items not in my library. Then I want to import but the import button is unavailable. It is greyed and has no outline. The same happened on WinXP.

    Thanks Tigriss.
    If I stop and start sharing on my old computer, I would expect to see the library for that computer under home sharing.  I don't.  There is nothing.  And that nothing propogates to the new computer!
    The Music is still there in the old computer.  I think the 'Import All' command you're referring to would run on the new computer, but only if there is something there for it to recognise.
    So I'm still stuck, I'm afraid.
    I guess uninstalling and re-installing iTunes might work, but I'm not keen!

  • Can i change a field properties without affecting source code?

    I have an application that is running a test. A field ask a technician to add a serial number, however this field only accepts numeric characters and i have alphanumeric serial numbers. Can i change the porperty of this field wihtout affectinc the source code?

    No probably not, unless your chars are 0..9 and A..F only. In that case
    you could change the numeric control to display Hexadecimal numbers.
    Only 8 hex-char length however for the int32 which is the maximum size
    integer you can use.
    For anything else you need a string control to enter alpha chars. The
    problem is even more complicated as you will have to change more things
    downstram the wire where you use that serial number.

  • Why won't some of my MP4s stream to Apple TV (or iPad) via Home Sharing?

    Hi all. I've been converting my DVDs, HD-DVDs, and Blu-rays to MP4, using MakeMKV and then Handbrake 0.9.9.5530 64-bit for encoding. I have been intending to play the files on my iPad, both transferring to the device and streaming via Home Sharing. I also want stream these via Apple TV (3rd gen, Model A1427) in the house via Home Sharing.
    All the files sourced from HD-DVDs & Blu-rays seem to work fine. However, more than half the DVDs I've converted -- using the same Handbrake preset I've been using for the BRs -- will not play back on the iPad, or streamed to the iPad, or streamed to Apple TV. The files will copy to the iPad, but for both device playback and streaming, I get the error message "The operation could not be completed." On Apple TV, it's "An error occurred loading this content, try again later."
    The files will play in iTunes for Windows, and they will play in VLC. (Files bought from the iTunes Store also stream fine.) There is no metadata in these files, but I am manually adding a poster image once I drop them into iTunes.
    It seems pretty clear that this is a problem with the file itself, but since the only issues I'm having involve streaming, I reset my router for good measure. I restarted the Apple TV and quit all the apps on my iPad before restarting it, too. I've also made sure the firmware on all devices is up to date. None of that had an effect.
    I compared a DVD rip (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adeventure) to a BR rip (Independence Day). Both feature exactly the same bitrates & sample rates for video and audio -- according to the Windows Properties -> Details tab, Data rate is 1499kbps, Total bitrate 1659, 23 frames/second, 2 stereo audio channels at 48KHz. The only difference is the BR frame size is larger (1920x812), and of course the run times & file sizes are different. But the bigger file plays fine, and a lot of these smaller files do not.
    MP4s from DVDs that will stream: Toy Story, Dead Again, Clue, School of Rock.
    MP4s from DVDs that won't stream: Ocean's Eleven, Escape from New York, Galaxy Quest, Robocop (Criterion). Shaun of the Dead, Team America World Police
    Again, these were all converted on the same PC with the same software and same settings. If there's a common thread among the source material of the MP4s that will play and won't play, I don't know what it is, but I figured it would not hurt to list it. 
    My Handbrake settings are based on Handbrake's AppleTV 2 preset, with the following modifications:
    Avg Bitrate 1500, 2-pass, no turbo 1st pass
    Framerate: 30, Peak
    Optimize:
    x264 Preset: Very Slow
    H.264 Profile: High
    H.264 Level: 3.1
    Container is MP4, as is the file extension. (Since dragged-and-dropped MKV files default to M4V in Handbrake, I select MKV then re-select MP4 from the Container drop-down before adding to Handbrake's queue.)
    Someone suggested I simply change the file extension to M4V, so I tried it, but that did not fool any of the stream devices.
    I have been testing the output MP4 files on my PC as I go, and once they played fine in VLC after Handbrake, I have been deleting the MKV files. I can go back and rip them all again if I have to (these are all from DVDs I personally own), but obviously I'd rather not do that! So my questions now are:
    - Could this be related to the audio stream? I've been opting for the DD 3/2.1 stream whenever possible when ripping, and letting Handbrake mix it down.
    - If I run the MP4s through Handbrake a second time with a different setting, will it do a pass-through convert instead of a full re-encode? (I don't want to shrink the video if only the audio needs attention.) If so, which setting should that be?
    - Is there a way to repair these MP4 files without completely starting over with a fresh MKV?
    - If I have to start from scratch, should I go with Constant Quality over Average Bitrate?
    Hopefully someone can spot my issue based on this description. I'm happy to send you my Handbrake settings as a .plist file and offer any other info I can, as I'm stumped as to what went wrong. There has to be a logical reason. Thanks!

    I've continued tests on different films, and tried my entire collection. I've found about two dozen that will play fine on the PC, but will not cooperate when streamed to either Apple TV or my iPad. I tried several more tests with the audio, and that turned out not to be a factor -- I could not replicate that on another test.
    I wonder if something in the header of these files is corrupted or a flag is set incorrectly or something along those lines, as the data appears to be fine -- it's just not "handshaking" with my streaming hardware and/or the Apple Home Sharing code that powers it.
    Is there any way for me to "scrub" these files and amend their headers, or get into the file and tinker with that info by hand?
