How to block audio only advertisements

This is something that I find to be infuriating, and I finally decided to see if there is a remedy. Sometimes an audio advertisement will start blaring while I am using my computer in the normal way. I say "audio" because there are no images, only sound. Is there a way to block such advertisements?

Hi Niku,
The way to stop the advertisement will varry depending on the applilcation your using when you hear the ads and how they are being delivered. But, the article below outlines some privacy features that are built into Safari that prevent most advertising.

How to convert audio only avi to wav?

How to convert audio only avi to wav?
Can I extract only the audio from an avi and insert in to a wav file?
Regards,
Achi

Sure.
You just need to program a Processor to turn off any video tracks, transcode to a WAV-acceptable audio encoding, and then use a DataSink to store the output of the processor as a WAV file.
Also, I bet the following sample program will do it without any modification...

How to do audio only chat?

I see under the Video menu there is an "Audio Chat Enabled". I usually prefer to do audio only chats rather than video. How to start an audio only chat?
Thanks,
Tony

Well, I really want to use it with my family. My son has Skype and he has it always running. My wife uses iMessages only. I like how iMessages is integrated with iOS--the program doesn't have to be running. With Skype, you have to make sure it is in the background.
Neither of them (and not of my friends) use any of the other Chat programs.

How to control audio-only QuickTime movies

I would like to be able to use the QuickTime controller to play an audio only QuickTime movie. I've read in this forum that hovering the mouse over a QuickTime movie is supposed to bring up the controller, but it isn't working for me. I've imported the movies (I have three on one slide) by both Insert > Choose … as well as dragging from the Finder. Afterwards, I get the speaker icon. When I play the show, the speaker icons don't appear.
Having the ability to be able to repeatedly play a .aif, .wav., mp3 sound would be nice as well, even if it is just start from the beginning and play.
Additionally, I'd also like to be able to play a movie by clicking on a movie, but I haven't found a way to do that. Perhaps it is not possible.
Keynote 4.0.2. Latest QuickTime (7.4).

there's no sound that will be played by that code. and there's no code about a netstream instance.

How to block changes only in integration directory

Hi,
I explain the situation I´m experimenting right now:
After importing a tpz file, a developper needs to make some changes for example in the repository but he told the last time that he also modified data in a communication channel in the ID and I´d like to prevent this kind of actions right now...
What kind of roles could I use to stop this user modifying anything in Integration Directory and allow him at the same time making changes in the Integration repository?
Another thing:
Is there a kind of registration log in the Integration Directory in order to consult with details committed actions in the past?
Thank you in advance,
regards,
Olivier

Hi,
>>>What kind of roles could I use to stop this user modifying anything in Integration Directory and allow him at the same time making changes in the Integration repository?
you need to create correct role as per my blog (for directory only in your case)

for every objects in ID or IR you can select from objects menu history to check the changes

How to burn audio only from a Video Single

I have a video single as part of personal mix in itunes. When I try to burn the mix, all of the tracks burn except the video single. The dialog box says that burning is disabled for this track. I assume this is because the video content is imbedded in the file.
This is somewhat confusing as the track was noted as a single and separate video at the time of purchase. Is there any way to convert the content so that it can be included on an audio CD?
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Due to DRM, you cannot burn purchased videos, except for backup on Data CD/DVD.
The only way to separate the audio is to use a capture application like Wiretap Pro or Audio Hijack (Pro). Latest versions can be found on versiontracker.com.
Hope this helps.

Publish an audio-only stream (HLS)

Hi,
the documentation says this:
"To serve streams over a cellular network, one of the streams must be audio-only. For more information, see HTTP Live Streaming Overview.
To publish an audio-only stream, enter the following in the Flash Media Encoder Stream field:
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe-audio-stream-src=livestream1
If the encoder specifies individual query strings for each stream, use individual stream names instead of the variable %i:
livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only
livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream2_audio_only
To generate a set-level variant playlist when using an audio-only stream, specify the audio codec of the audio-only stream. Specify the audio and the video codec of the streams that contain audio and video. For more information about using the Set-level F4M/M3U8 File Generator, see Publish and play live multi-bitrate streams over HTTP.
Does this mean that using one FMLE encoder (with the installed AAC plugin) i can stream BOTH audio+video AND audio only stream via HLS to iOS clients?
If yes, how to connect to a+v stream and how to connect audio only stream in iOS ? (To be more precise - i would need two m3u8 files, how do i create them in the provided generator)
What about the need to provide multiple bitrates (for the audio), surely 64 isn't enough - multiple encoder machines or multiple encoder instances?

You are right. You don't need to provide multiple bitrate audio in the variant playlist. So while specifying on FMLE
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe-audio-stream-src=livestream1
set adbe-audio-stream-src to such a a+v stream that that audio bitrate of 64 kbps.
This will create 4 streams for you on FMS
livestream1, livestream2, livestream3, livestream1_audio_only
On encoders other than FMLE, where it is not supported to publish multiple streams with a single publish option, you may publish
1. livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only
2. livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent
3. livestream3?adbe-live-event=liveevent
This will create 4 streams for you on the FMS
livestream1, livestream2, livestream3, livestream1_audio_only
Yes, there is no point publishing audio only live stream corresponding to each a+v stream. Apple spec mandates only one audio only stream of 64kbps in variant playlist

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

How to read data using SQLGetData from a block, forward-only cursor (ODBC)

Hi there. I am trying to read data a small number of rows of data from either a Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server (whichever is being used) as quickly as possible. I have connected to the database using the ODBC API's and have run a select
statement using a forward-only, read-only cursor. I can use either SQLFetch or SQLExtendedFetch (with a rowset size of 1) to retrieve each successive row and then use SQLGetData to retrieve the data from each column into my local variables. This
all works fine.
My goal is to see if I can improve performance incrementally by using SQLExtendedFetch with a rowset size greater than 1 (block cursor). However, I cannot figure out how to move to the first of the rowset returned so that I can call SQLGetData to retrieve
each column. If I were using a cursor type that was not forward-only, I would use SQLSetPos to do this. However, using those other cursor types are slower and the whole point of the exercise is to see how fast I can read this data. I can
successfully read the data using a block forward only cursor if I bind each column to an array in advance of the call to SQLExtendedFetch. However, that has several drawbacks and is documented to be slower for small numbers of rows. I really
want to see what kind of speed I can achieve using a block, forward-only, read-only cursor using SQLGetData to get each column.
Here is the test stub that I created:
' Create a SELECT statement to retrieve the entire collection.
selectString = "SELECT [Year] FROM REAssessmentRolls"
' Create a result set using the existing read/write connection. The read/write connection is used rather than
' the read-only connection because it will reflect the most recent changes made to the database by this running
' instance of the application without having to call RefreshReadCache.
If (clsODBCDatabase.HandleDbcError(SQLAllocStmt(gDatabase.ReadWriteDbc, selectStmt), gDatabase.ReadWriteDbc, errorBoxTitle) <> enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS) Then
GoTo LoadExit
End If
Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_CONCURRENCY, SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_CURSOR_TYPE, SQL_CURSOR_FORWARD_ONLY), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_ROWSET_SIZE, MAX_ROWSET_SIZE), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
If (clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExecDirect(selectStmt, selectString, Len(selectString)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle) <> enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS) Then
GoTo LoadExit
End If
' Cursor through result set. Each time we fetch data we get a SET of rows.
sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExtendedFetch(selectStmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0, rowsFetched, rowStatus(0)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Do While (sqlResult = enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS)
' Read all rows in the row set
For row = 1 To rowsFetched
If rowStatus(row - 1) = SQL_ROW_SUCCESS Then
sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetPos(selectStmt, row, SQL_POSITION, SQL_LOCK_NO_CHANGE), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Call clsODBCDatabase.SQLGetShortField(selectStmt, 1, assessmentRollYear(row - 1))
Console.WriteLine(assessmentRollYear(row - 1).ToString)
End If
Next
' If the rowset we just retrieved contains the maximum number of rows allowed, there could be more data.
If rowsFetched = MAX_ROWSET_SIZE Then ' there could be more data
sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExtendedFetch(selectStmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0, rowsFetched, rowStatus(0)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Else
Exit Do ' no more rowsets
End If
Loop ' Do While (sqlResult = enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS)
The test fails on the call to SQLSetPos. The error message I get is "Invalid cursor position; no keyset defined". I have tried passing SET_POSITION and also SET_REFRESH. Same error. There has to be a way to do this!
Thank you for your help!
Thank You! - Andy

How to validate that only one check box is checked in detail block

Hi All,
I am using oracle Forms 10G on windows.
I need help on how to validate that only one check box is checked in detail block. I have multiple records in the detail block and I have check boxes for each record in the detail block.
I have a button to select the values from the detail records where the check box is checked. But I want to make sure that only one record is check not more than one.
How do I validate this on a push button trigger?
Thanks

When I've done this kind of thing, I create a Form level variable of TYPE number and then add or subtract to this variable as I check and uncheck the checkboxes. If the value of the variable is 1, then you know that only one checkbox is selected. If the value is greater than 1, then you know the user has selected more than one check box. You could also add code to your When-Checkbox-Changed trigger to test the variable and instruct the user to un-check selected record before selecing a new record.
With respect to the Form level variable, you can use a GLOBAL, PARAMETER or Program Unit package specification. I prefer to use the PU Package Spec as this method has a smaller memory footprint. For example, in the Program Unit node of the object navigator create the following;
/* Form variables package spec */
PACKAGE Form_Vars IS
CheckBox_Cnt     NUMBER := 0;
END;Now in your When-Checkbox-Changed trigger...
BEGIN
   IF ( Form_Vars.CheckBox_Cnt = 0 ) THEN
      Form_Vars.CheckBox_Cnt := Form_Vars.CheckBox_Cnt + 1;
   ELSE
      /* it's assumed the value is greater than 0 */
      Message('Please uncheck selec ted record before choosing a new record.');
      RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
   END IF;
END;Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

How to display LOV on web in ENTER-QUERY mode with form or block query only.

Hello all
How can I display lov automatic on the web in from enter-query
mode in form or block query only mode.
thankx

If I understand correctly your explanation, your called form
fails to activate the LOV in enter-query mode when it is deployed
and test on the browser.
So lets proceeed like this, to make it work in all environments,
let us programetically activate the LOV.
HOW?
In the called form, write in the WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE TRIGGER
at block level (if have more than one LOV)
IF :SYSTEM.MODE = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
IF get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name) IN ('YOUR
LOV1', 'LOV2' etc) THEN
IF SHOW_LOV(get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name))
THEN
NULL;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
The above code maybe tweak to suite your need and condition.
This way, we explicitly make the LOV appear in ENTER-QUERY mode
whenever the user clicks on an item with an attached LOV.
Hope this helps.

How do I export audio only?

I have audio that needs cleaning up beyond what I know how to do and I want to send it off to a friend... the FCP Library is around 133GB so I'd like to just send the audio. How can I do that?
Using version 10.1.4
Thanks.

If you have Compressor, import a batch of your video files at a time into there and export as Audio only - something uncompressed like .aiff files.
It's VERY quick.
If you don't have Compressor, you can create a project in FCP X, drop a load of files onto it, and then Share > Master File (choose Audio only again) .aiff (or similar uncompressed).
You'll need to re-import these files into your projects after they are returned - there are various ways to do that.
