ICal audio stream alarm time limit

I have set up an internet radio schedule in iCal using Automatot scripts as iCal alarms. However when iCal opens a stream in Windows media player ths stream does not stop once the time limit in iCal is reached, for instance when I want that stream to stop and a new stream to open in iTunes.
Anybody know how to set a time limit either in the original Automator workflow or in iCal that will stop a WMP stream?
Thanks

Definitely a code problem. You have not lived until your phone is blatting stridently as you are meeting with a patient. It has happened so frequently I cannot bring my phone into my office and need it for work.
According to this thread this issue has been in existence since at least 2013. So MAJORLY annoying bug and has been around for over a years and STILL not addressed. How do I know?
I was running a 4 and this was a problem on it, one I attributed to its being a technological dinosaur. I recently upgraded to the iPhone6+ & guess what? Problem is there too. Yes I have powered it on & off, done hard and soft reset. Yes I wiped BOTH phones. Yes I made sure BOTH phones were updated to the most recent software. Yes I made sure my MBl had the most recent version of iTunes, synched, tried wiping iTunes from MBP then reinstalling & resynching, wiped phones (again) and resynched. Checked all settings for alarm in "settings" and "alarm". After all the above, problem still there. Maybe should address the existing problems before releasing a new version? Last 4 years in my personal (extremely expensive) experience Apple has been taking the Microsoft approach of reseae it bugs & all.
I remember when Apple really stood behind their products -- I sent much business your way back then -- and their customer satisfaction was the first priority (well after making cool stuff). Now? Their behavior has me, a former Apple geek, feeling EXTREMELY disillusioned (sold me several very expensive defective products that never worked & they never fixed just offered to sell me another $5,000 paperweight). The above problem -- a minor one, yes, but to spend this much $$$?!? -- just illustrates that from big to small, the mind set has changed drastically. [End Rant -- Sorry, so frustrated with Apple in general could not help myself -- have a beautiful day & may your alarms always work!]

  • Audio Stream - Total Time

    How to find total time of Wave audio(.wav) ?

    If you're using eight tracks, and four do not conform to the sequence settings, you're using the equivalent of 12 tracks of audio. You could try getting temporary relief, if your computer is fast enough, by going to FCE preferences and changing the number of real-time tracks to something higher, say 24 tracks.
    The other thing you might want to look at is to see why some of the tracks don't conform to the sequence settings. Maybe the mini disc material is at a different sample rate, or some of the cameras are not using the same sample rate, or one of them is a Canon camera and the sample rate is drifting. The application works best if all the material conforms to the correct format, AIFF, and sample rate before it's brought into the application.
    You can also select individual items that need rendering and render them at Item Level. You'll find this in the Sequence menu. This is fine for most material. Low quality, heavily compressed material like MP3 does not produce great results doing this.

  • Real time audio streaming

    Hi, I need to develop a j2me softphone, is there someone who can tell me how to do audio streaming ? I already read jsr135 but nothing important.
    I would appreciate any help.

    Hi Daniel,
    I'm encouraged to receive a response!
    I can't see how the advent of a new codec will affect the issues that I mention above. You still need an unreliable protocol to transport the Speex data! Datagram support is optional in both MIDP2.0 and it's my understanding that it is rarely implemented. The objection about Bluetooth remains - L2CAP support is optional, and setting the flush timeout on an L2CAP connection is impossible.
    Then there is the question of playing and recording at the same time. The anecdotal evidence seems to be that even though you can use threading to start two players at the same time, as soon as you try record and play at the same time, an exception is thrown (sometimes the emulators work but after deploying on the device the exception is thrown).
    Finally, you mention that there are a number of Java ME VOIP applications out there. Do you have links? Personally I can't find any. What I can find is a number of products that operate on different platforms:
    eg Fring that has Symbian, iPhone OS, Windows Mobile and Java ME versions.
    What is telling is that the Java ME version does not support voice, while the other versions do. The same applies to Nimbuzz and Talkonaut. Extensive googling has not revealed any exceptions to this rule.
    If you can prove me wrong it'll make my day :).
    Cheers,
    Fritz

  • LP7.1 Recording Audio time limit

    Okay I cant seem to figure out how to increase the time limit on recording an audio track on LP7.1 . Currently when I start recording I find that I only have about 31 minutes displayed in the Remaining Time.
    I look at my "set Audio Record Path" settings and see that I have Maximum Recording Time unchecked. And drive holding the Recording Path directory has 36GB of space.
    Any clues how I can increase my remaining time for recording audio tracks?
    thanks in advance,
    Noah

    Un-uncheck Max Rec Time and put number of minutes you want to record in the field.

  • Sorting iCal To Do's by both "due date" AND "alarm time"

    iCal does a nice job of sorting the to do list by due date (in chronological order). However, when there are multiple to do entries due on the same day, it appears that each to do entry is sorted in a haphazard order — I would like to be able to sort each day's to do's by alarm time.
    Is there a way to do this, either within iCal, via Automator or some other means?
    TIA ——

  • Ical default alarm time

    Every reminder I set in ical pops up with a default time of 11:45 p.m. Every time I have to change it. If it would use a default time of 9 a.m., many times that would work fine for me unless it is a specific meeting. How do I change the default time ical gives me?

    The original post by Saluda Judy is almost exactly my question, except my issue -- which I believe is related to if not the same as the ical question -- is the default alarm time for TO DOs. When I create a 'to-do' in imail or directly in ical, and give that to-do a due date, then set an alarm for that to-do, the default time for the alarm is 11:45 pm the day before the due date. I would like to change the default time to something other than 11:45 pm the day before so that when I set an alarm for a new task, the alarm time is 8:00 am the day of, or whatever I decided to set my default to. I'm tired of having to change the alarm time for every to-do for which I create an alarm.
    And to reiterate; I don't want to create an alarm time by default for each to-do. Rather, when I choose to create an alarm time for a to-do, I want the alarm time to default to my desired time (8:00 am, for instance).

  • ICal, Mail and Finder times all stuck since upgrade!  System clock O.K.

    Very strange problem:
    All of my calendar event times (in iCal), email message receipt times (in Mail), and file modification/creation times (in Finder) are listed as some time between 7:00-7:59 AM or PM, regardless of time of day! My system clock (as it appears in the menu bar) is fine!
    More details:
    iCal: the events still look like they're at the right times, i.e. the blocks are in the right places, with the correct spacing, etc etc, they are just labeled with times between 7:00-7:59 AM/PM. Similarly, alarms go off at the correct time. Also, in the day or week listing, the column on the left which is supposed to show times instead just says "Sat" for all times, except "Noon" (at noon).
    This is continuous since upgrading to snow leopard a couple weeks ago. Seemingly no other problems besides this.
    I don't know much about the OS, but I don't understand how the system clock (in the menu bar) could be fine, but every other sign of time-keeping is completely off. I just its just something about the labeling of times, instead of the actual record of them?!
    I have screen shots of the problems if that might help clarify (apparently I can't attach them however).
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Any solutions to your problems?
    Just found my Mom has the same 'time stuck' problem (iMac OS X 10.6.7) Finder 'Date Modified' is stuck at 2/14/2011. Also, the Time/Date displays correctly on the Menu bar but when click on it, the drop down menu shows a gray out 2/14/2011, etc.
    Much appreciated of any help. Thx.

  • C# Webbrowser using VLCplugin to play online audio stream

    Hello all,
    I have been trying to get the VLC to play a audio stream from a URL address.
    I created a forms application and added a webbroswer from the toolbox. I can navigate no problem but if I goto a link like
    http://audio.wgbh.org/otherWaysToListen/wcai.m3u
    I get a popup dialog that asked do I want to open this file. If i accept VLC opens and it plays no issue.
    However, what I want is it to play without the popup and in my application not with the VLC installed on my computer.
    I have seem many things about VLC selecting files but I have not been able to find a reference for pulling a stream with my C# form when browsing with the webbrowser item on my form.
    Any help would be thankful.

    Hi Badidea,
    >> However, what I want is it to play without the popup and in my application not with the VLC installed on my computer.
    Do you want to open the url without the popup? If so, I think you could block downloads from the webbrowser control, the link below shows the details:
    # How to block downloads in .NET WebBrowser control?
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/483262/how-to-block-downloads-in-net-webbrowser-control
    But with this way, I am afraid that you could not open the audio. If you want to open the audio without the popup, I think you could automatically download the file, more information you could turn to the link below:
    # Suppressing the Save/Open Dialog box in a WebBrowser control
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3538874/suppressing-the-save-open-dialog-box-in-a-webbrowser-control
    But if you want to open the audio in your application without the VLC, I am afraid that you could not achieve that. As you know, the audio needs the special player from the URL, I think it is restricted if you want to open the audio without the player.
    Sorry for the inconvenient.

  • Home Theater need. Multiple Audio Streams from 1 card or possible to use 2 car

    I currently have 2 SB Li've's installed and a SB Audigy in the box.
    I would like to be able to send different audio out to different devices. I need to send audio from a game interface called MAME 32 to a speaker system connected to the PC. I also use this PC as a home theater PC and want to send audio from my DVD playing software out to my TV(in analog stereo mode) and/or to my receiver(in Dolby Digital mode using the digital connector).
    I would like to be able to run these seperatly without having to go into the Control Panel and switch the default sound card like I am doing now. I do not need to run them at the same time.

    Bummer. Are you guys working on something that might have this capability? Seems to me that the closer we integrate PC's into our entertainment systems the more need we will have for the ability to do multiple audio streams, i.e. MP3's to the living room. DVD movie audio to the family room, XM radio classical station to the kitchen for mom etc..
    Intel is offering this as an onboard solution that has the ability to do at least 2 different streams.

  • How do I Label Audio Streams for Playback

    I am working on a DVD with 2 audio streams and the client would like when toggling from one stream to the next for them to be labeled on the DVD player "5.1" or "2.0". I know I have seen it on retail DVD's. Currently it just reads 1 or 2. How do I change it so it reads "5.1" or "2.0"? Is this a scripting thing? Scripting is the one thing that I am really having a hard time grasping and understanding unfortunately even with tutorials. Any help, info, or tutorials are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If you mean labelled on the text display screen on the front of the DVD player hardware, then this isn't something you can control from the disc. It is a feature of the player itself.
    If you want to show the audio choice on the TV screen as the disc plays back (i.e. within a menu where you make an audio stream choice) then that's different - it is possible to do this.
    If you want to change the audio stream using the remote handset and show the change in audio stream dynamically at any time on the TV screen as the disc is playing, then that is also not possible.

  • Stupid 3 hour time limit...

    I've been using Adobe Audition 1.5 for years, with perfect success, but last week i decided to install the CS5 suite. Fine.
    Yesterday, I go to look for Audition, and it's gone...like there was some conflict. My system (Windows 7) wouldn't even let me reinstall it.
    Anyway, so I decided to learn Soundbooth really quickly, which I did successfully, to do some audio recording of an important meeting. I set it up, did some testing, and voila I'm recording.
    It's a 5 hour meeting, so I monitor it for an hour or so and then tackle other tasks. I come back at th end of the meeting and the recording has stopped! What the hell!I l lost 2 hours of recording to oblivion.
    I did a test later on, and the same thing. Recording will only capture exactly 3 hours.
    I had plenty of HD space and I looked through the preferences and there doesn't seem to be any way to change this. With Audition, I could record for 8 hours or longer, as long as I had the HD space.
    So, what's up with Soundbooth? So far it seems inferior to the five-year-old Audition software i had been using.

    If you are syncing your iPhone calendar events with iCal, do you have Time Zone Support enabled with iCal, and do you have Time Zone Support enabled with your iPhone?
    If yes, confirm your time zone settings on your Mac at System Preferences > Date & Time under the Time Zone tab.
    And on your iPhone at Settings > Mail > Contacts > Calendars under the Calendars section > Time Zone Support.

  • Synchronization of Multiple Audio Streams

    Hi,
    I'm trying to synchronize several Audio streams during
    playback and recording. Several questions I have and not sure if
    actually feasible or how to best address :
    1/ When playing back 2 audio streams, how can I ensure the
    playback is full synchronized (<20ms difference) when client
    receives the 2 streams in playback ? Basically trying to simulate a
    mix-down with 2 // streaming. Ultimately wants to achieve this with
    about 5 audio streams playing back and can't accept tolerate delay.
    I suspect I need to synchronize the start of each stream so that
    they all start together, but not been very succesfull so far.
    Alternatively is there a way to mix-down 2 streams on server and
    send back a 1 mixed-down audio stream ?
    2/ More tricky I believe : If I playback 1 audio stream and
    start recording a separate audio stream, I'm getting again
    desynchronised. Later If I replay the 1 audio and the newly
    recorded one, both are not anymore aligned. I suspect (but not sure
    that the delay and desynchronization is introduced during the
    recording but not sure and reason I asked first question...
    If someone knows those answers or could provide some
    direction of work.... I would greatly appreciate.
    Thanks

    When it comes to FMS streams, there really is no way of
    accurately syncronizing streams. Since you can't keep data in
    buffer when pausing the stream, and you have to rebuffer any time
    you seek, it's impossible.
    The only way I've been able to sync flv's is using
    progressive download. With progressive, you can sync streams, but
    the accuracy is limited to the keyframe interval of the flv files.
    For example, if you have 2 keyframes per second, you can achieve
    sync with 1 second accuracy. with 4 keyframes per second, you can
    get the offset down to 500ms. If you make every frame a keyframe
    (makes for a huge file), you can get frame accurate sync.
    The theory is to build a class that monitors the time and
    buffer length properties of your two streams, pausing and/or
    seeking when needed to maintain sync.

  • How to merging two audio stream using jmf?

    I have received two rtp audio stream，i want to merging this to one but createMergingDataSource dou work well。please help 。

    You might use an alternative approach: Run exec task and use a external tool to do the encoding.
    You can for example use "The Swiss army knive of Sound" :) SoX: http://sox.sourceforge.net/
    I think from a performance point of view or to handle large files it would be even recommended in using such tools rather then encoding inside your application ... that might be different if you need to do the encoding in real-time ...

  • Is Mobile Safari's in-app multitasking (audio stream in one tab, browsing in another) gone for good?

    I cannot remember the last iOS version this feature actually worked, but in the past, I used to be able to open a tab in Mobile Safari, begin streaming audio from a website, pinch in to bring up standard UI again, and then open up another tab within Safari itself and continue to browse the web. All the while the streaming audio is still playing in the background.
    Now (and actually for the last few iOS versions, it's been a while), you cannot browse Safari while listening to a Safari audio stream at the same time. To me this makes no sense at all, because it's just a simple backgrounding concept. I can go off and use any other app on my phone, but not Safari itself.
    There ARE a few ways to kind of trick Safari into allowing you to browse and listen, but it's a poor workaround. You can go to the website, tap-and-hold on the stream URL, then select Open in Background. Doing so will begin the stream and keep you in the current webpage and then allow you to open more tabs.
    HOWEVER, if you ever select that audio stream tab, you can't control it consistently, and most of the time you'll get stuck in that tab and your solution is broken.
    For YEARS I've been waiting for Apple to fix this silly limitation with each new iOS release, but every time I find that it's never fixed. I'm just surprised that I don't hear more people complaining about it, because it's been a huge source of frustration for me for so long.
    Does anyone else experience this frustration or know if this is intentional (which would be enormously depressing if Apple purposely designed these functions) or if there are any better solutions to it than what I've come up with?

    Thanks for the heads up.
    Odd that I can't just email their support department.
    I'll post back with my results.
