I have a cunning Plan !!!

This is my first post so be gentle. I have an idea for a program that will act as a home network media RSS aggregator. I will explain what i would like to do is create a program that will search folders ( selected by the user ) for media audio and video and build an RSS feed or separate feeds eg. kids, romantic, action, tv series etc....... the program would output this file or files and possibly html file with links pointing to XML files. Ok reason for this is to link up with miro/songbird for media play back and HFS and noip or similar for access to rss feeds. I have tried many different media centres Boxee, XBMC, freevo etc... all of them are either not stable enough or hard to setup or not cross platform or a combination of all three. The reason for not using a site to aggregate like yahoo pipes or similar is because the finished feed is not private and there are legal implications of sharing copyright material. so what I would like to ask is what would be the best way to create this program in Java and where is the best place to get the information I am going to need to complete this project.
many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ok thanks gimbal2 thanks for the quick response I have limited knowledge of Java but I can see you have guest that already. I have programmed in other languages mainly basic and autoit but I have switched over to linux and wanted to start programming in a language which was cross platform. I actualy first looked at python but funnily enough linux support for the newest python release is weak.
I have googled about a bit and have done some of the tutorials on the Netbeans site in relation to the gui side of java as I had not had much experiance of gui building unfortunately my access to java books (in english) is limited.
At the moment I am trying to find a way of selecting multiple directories to search for media I have seen the file/directory chooser i was going to use this in someway similar to the auto playlist builder in wmp e.g. which directories would you like to search with an add button which is then moved down/replaced by a label showing the selected directory path with further directories being added in this way till you are ready to search those directories for media.

If You Have A Family Plan Beware Of Social Beat App!!!!!!!!!

We have a family plan with 5 phones. In January of 2011 after noticing some extra charges on our bill we went to the Verizon store to investigate. We found that these charges were from texting and accessing the internet. At that time, after talking with a sales rep we upgraded our plan with more voice minutes added texting plans and blocked (we thought) the internet and bought 5 new phones.
Last month we received bill for over $1100. So we immediately drove to the store to find out what was going on. The customer service rep brought up our bill on the internet and said that one of the lines had gone way over on there minutes. When we looked at the usage screen it showed hundreds of data airtime minutes used. When I asked what they were they said someone was accessing the internet. I told them that I had blocked the line from the internet. They said they could see it was blocked but somehow they were still accessing it. By that time there were several agents gathered around the computer and all had puzzled looks on there faces. They said they would have to dig further into this and call us sometime the following week. That was a Friday and I heard nothing for 9 days. So I returned to the store, all they could tell me then was that they found that the charges were legitimate and if had any other questions I would have to call the customer service line.
After calling the customer service line and getting no answers I went to a different Verizon store and found a very helpful sales rep who helped me dig further into this and was told by someone that the the line in question was using an app called social beat to access face book over the phone. I said that I had blocked the internet from this line. They said that this was different and that these were legitimate charges. Any way, I'm still trying to get an answer that I can understand.
But you should be aware that this app comes preloaded on certain phones and that anyone can sign up and start using it without the approval of the plan administrator.
We are still trying to get something done about this and I know Verizon doesn't care but I want them to know that I am logging complaints with the BBB, the FTC, and the FCC. It may not do any good but it will make me feel better.

I know exactly how you feel, i checked my account this month and I had overage charges and called to find out and was told it is Social Beat. I said but we blocked all MB usage charges and they told me the same thing. I see that it is blocked but social beat is something else. Well then why did my phone come with it and why are yall still charging me for MB when they are blocked? There is nothing they can or will do to fix it. So now I had to upgrade to a smart phone and pay even more money per month. Its unreal at the charges Verizon can come up with.

How many tasks can you have in a plan?

How many tasks can you have in a plan?
What is the maximum number of tasks I can reasonably expect to have in a newScale service (version 2007)?
I have approximately 30 tasks in my service. When the authorizations are complete, and the tasks are initially scheduled, my server response time (between clicking Approve and seeing the next screen) is about 30 seconds.
Does this sound unusual? Am I trying to do too much with my service?
Thanks!

Hi Joe,
There is no "upper limit" on the number of tasks that you can have in a plan. Having said that, the complexity of a plan -- including conditions and the use of external tasks -- can certainly be a factor in response times.
Having said this, 30 seconds seems like a long time and I strongly suggest that you open a case with customer care on this item.
We have alerted them to be looking for a case from you.

Still have unlimited data plan?

If you have been a responsible user like me and have not abused the "unlimited" data plan and are now given the choice of buying full price phones or getting the 2GB downgrade I have a question for you. Since you are being treated like you are part of the problem why not become part of it? I didn't, until now, stream videos or movies but since I have unlimited data I started. I don't even care what the movie is as long as it is HD so it hogs more data. I will do it until they kick me out as a customer.
My data usage is normally less than 2gb but going up. I didn't anticipate ever using over 5 or 6GB in the next year or so but that is dependent on new applications. Garmin now has smartlink for live traffic updates that uses data, I don't know how much it may use and before I didn't care. I have had unlimited data since it was first offered. I didn't do the videos and movies because I thought that if I burn through 60 to 100GB a month it would surely come to an end. Stupid on my part! How dare I think Verizon would give a **** about me for trying keep my data usage down but still pay for the unlimited just in case I went over. So my reward is getting told they are doing me a favor by simplifying the plan by limiting my data to 2GB. Or I pay full retail for a phone and keep unlimited data. Or I keep the same phone and keep unlimited data.
So now I have a new plan, stream HD movies anytime that it is possible. Buy old Razr's on Ebay and keep my unlimited data and burn all the data I can. I am writing to the Public Service Commission of Nebraska regarding this and the regular poor customer service that I just quit complaining about in the past. If they get enough complaints the Legislature will reintroduce the bill to give the State regulatory authority over the wireless carriers. Will it fix anything? Probably not but it will be another thorn in Verizon's side. I will say anytime the State has gotten involved, even thought they have no authority, Verizon has fixed the issue because they DON'T WANT OVERSIGHT!
If you feel you have been slighted on the unlimited data plan write to your States Public Service Commission. If they get enough complaints the wireless companies will have to deal with regulatory authority. What are they going to do, raise the bill some more? If so Walmart offers a cheap flip phone from Straight talk. Not the best deal but still better than giving your money monthly to a company that hates it customers and looks for every opportunity to fleece them for every dime they can.

This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

Cosmos VN250: 7770000001 data message from verizon wrecked my phone. I have an old plan that Verizon really wants to end. Even though I have data messages blocked, this number was sent to my phone by Verizon and while trying to receive it, it broke.

Has anyone had any kind of issue with their phone breaking after getting a message from Verizon, thereby requiring them to get a new phone, and hence, a new plan, that will be more expensive? I have an old plan, the Singlerate West 300 that they have been trying to get me off of for years. It's a great deal. Yesterday, after coming back into the country, my phone started to retrieve a message from 7770000001, which I found online is from VCAST/Verizon, and while trying to retrieve it, the screen suddenly failed so that now only the top quarter of the screen is visible, making it impossible to text or see contacts. I've been working on it on-line and with Verizon all day and my only options will all lead to me getting a new plan that is more expensive, even if I replace it with the same phone. New rule - you can't renew an old plan if it's not currently being offered. Is Verizon sending out software that can ruin a phone requiring a new one, with a new plan that's more expensive?

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!
