Itunes in windows fails to play Shared Library's Video!!!

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a bug but I have thoroughly tested it in both Vista and XP.
If I share my Itunes' Library and access it from another PC (vista or XP tested), it can list the tvshows/movies/podcasts just fine, but when I play it, nothing happens. I see some network activity for brief 3-4 seconsd and then it stops.
The videos were imported into itunes on the macbook pro just fine (meaning the encoding is fine, MP4) and when I copied those videos file manually over to the PCs, the play fine too. Even if I share them over the network through SMB, they play fine streaming. They only fail when I play them through itunes' shared library.
95% of the videos fail, except for a few that I noticed and have not yet figured out a pattern. Videos that seems to work are 1) the downloaded guided tour video of iLife08 2) the mac tips podcasts from apple 3) a movie I converted using Quicktime into MP4 from divx
Any ideas?

This may indeed be the Windows version of iTunes (and QuickTime) being fussier than the Mac version.
However I did in Windows XP, take a video that would not work, export it using QuickTime Pro (on Windows) with the Prepare for Streaming option ticked, and the resulting video did then work, also taking the same original video that did not work and in iTunes 7.4.3 (on Windows) and converting it to AppleTV format, also produced a version that then did work for iTunes Sharing.
A video can be in MPEG4 format (or H.264) and meet the Apple specifications for iPod or Apple TV resolution, but it is quite possible it may not have been 'prepared for streaming'.
There have been similar reports from FrontRow (in Mac OS X) users accessing videos from an iTunes Share and having problems (typically very poor performance) and when they used the prepare for streaming option the problems went away.

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version?

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not seem to work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version? I am running a Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1 and the most recent vesion of iTunes, which, in all other respects, works well. I just can't listen to an album for the 1/2 to 1 hour that it takes to import it into my library.

Two JVM's ? I thought that J2EE worked within a single JVM and run everything in containers. Can you see the two processes?

Failed to load shared library on RT target device.

I am using 7030 RT target. When I use Call Library Function Node with specified DLL library the application is working properly on Windows target. When I try to download the application on RT target PCI 7030 I get the following error messages: Failed to download useDLL.vi. Failed to load shared library EasyDLL.dll on RT target device. Because the application (attached to the question) is distributed with NI product I would suppose it is written OK. I would like to know what restrictions are imposed on DLL libraries which should be targeted on PCI 7030 RT target. Why the application useDLL.vi with EasyDLL.dll can't be loaded on PCI 7030? Does it mean that Call Library Function Nodes are not compatibel with PCI
7030 target?! Thank you for any explanation.

OK I downloaded your files and tried them with a PXI real time controller and the error you mentioned happened for me as well. After digging for awhile, here's the best explanation I could find:
1 - useDLL is calling other DLLs that are failing to download
2 - useDLL is accessing some of the Win API that is not supported by the RT OS.

CRIO Fails to Load Shared Library

All,
I'm getting an odd error every other time I tried to load my code onto a cRIO in the dev environment.
Deploying NI_AALPro.lvlib:Linear Fit (LS).viNI_AALPro.lvlib:Linear Fit (LS).vi loaded with errors on the target and was closed.
LabVIEW: Failed to load shared library lvanlys.*:LinFit_head:C on RT target device.
This VI works the first time, and then fails to run the second time you hit run.
If I reboot the device this corrects the problem, but I have to say this bug costs me quite a lot of time.
Regards,
Ken

xkenneth,
Did that solve your problem? If so, is it reproducible with a small project?

Failed to load shared library

I am getting a "Failed to load shared library myDLL.dll:myFunction:C on RT Target Device" error when attempting to deploy a VI which contains a call to myDLL on a RT PXI. If I open the VI with the Call Library Function Node and simply reselect myDLL within the Library name or Path box and save the VI, it will then deploy without error. This continues to work until I start changing the VI at which point I attempt to deploy the VI again and get the failed to load error. Once again I open the VI, reselect myDLL, save, and the failed to deploy error goes away.
Does anyone have any ideas about whats going on here?
Thanks in advance

Hi Bob,
Thanks for responding. I am running LabVIEW 8.5 and running on an 8106 Embedded Controller. Unfortunately, I cannot post my DLL however, I did some troubleshooting and found that the issue seems to be that myDLL calls another one of my DLLs which doesn't seem to be loaded onto the RT box. If I deploy and run a VI which calls this second DLL and then run my original VI, it deploys without issue. I guess I can understand why it didn't work in first place, since the 2nd DLL is not called from any VI and only called from myDLL, however I don't understand why simply opening the VI which contains the call to myDLL and reselecting it fixes the problem. Also I have run the DLL thru the 8.5 DLL checker and it says that the DLL is OK, in fact the DLL checker new that myDLL had a dependency on the second DLL. Is there something that I can do other than pre-deploy the second DLL to the RT box to get around this issue?
Thanks again,
Kevin C.

RealTime - Failed to load shared library

Hi everyone,
I'm working with the cRIO 9074 system and programmed a ANC application with LabView. Yesterday I tested my application the first time but it didn't work as expected. Because of my testing- and developing-place are different I have to carry the cRIO-System and my laptop between them. So I just disconneted the powersupply and the networkcable. Then 10min later I tried testing again but I got an error. Today in the morning I got the same error like yesterday, which is the following one:
"Failed to load shared library AdaptivFilter. Ensure that the library is present on the RT target. Use MAX [...]"
I reinstalled the NI software (more than once) how I was adviced with MAX but it didn't fix the problem, maybe the AdaptivFilters-library was not included.
In the project-explorer a library called "NI_AdaptivFilter.lvlib" is included and I also found the path of the file on my harddrive.
It drives my nuts that it worked and than 10min later it doesn't.
I hope you could help me, thanks.

这个错误是因为RT系统启动部署时缺失库文件或者加载库文件失败导致的。
库文件加载失败原因有很多，而且就算把库文件重新添加进去可能也不能解决问题。建议你重装sbRIO 9636的RT系统，RT重装系统很快，10分钟就能完成。
在MAX里面远程系统下找到你的9636，右键选择格式化。格式化完成后展开9636，右键软件选择更改删除软件，此时把软件再重新装进去就可以了。

I am working on a friend of mine's 15g ipod(W/dock connector)and I am having the same trouble except it does it to all the songs. I have tried reseting it multiple times, but to no avail.
I am not sure that this runs on windows XP, it is absolutly archaic (compared to my 5th gen. 30g video).
Help?

ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

ITunes 10.5 does not load shared library files

Since today's update to iTunes 10.5 from 10.4.1. iTunes can no longer access the shared music library I have on my iomega NAS disk. It sees the disk and lists it as a shared library, but when I click on the library it goes into an endless loading cycle. In the past it might take a minute or so to load the library, but since the update, iTunes never actually does load it.
There is no error message, not even an operation time-out. I can't see anything rrelevant in the console. It just goes on for ever trying to load the shared library.
It was loading the shsred library just fine until this evening when the update downloaded.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with a Buffalo Linkstation LS-WTGL/R1-V3 NAS and iTunes 10.5 on both Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows XP.
It's not quite an endless loop, though. It takes about 20 seconds, then the song listing flashes briefly on the screen but goes immediately to the local Music listing in the Library. If I right-click on the NAS's entry and choose "Open in a New Window", the window opens, shows the barber pole throbber for about 20 seconds, then closes, again going back to the local Music listing.
There's about 117GB in the iTunes Music folder on the NAS.
This worked fine under iTunes 10.4.x.

I Have downloaded the 64 bit version of iTunes for my Sony running Windows 8. Install went fine and I can get in to iTunes and see the music residing on this machine. However, everytime that I try to run iTunes Match Windows crashes. So frustrating. BTW, this worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know what's going on?

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

Hello,
I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.

IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
This is repeatable too.
SUMMARY:
1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
Any suggestions? Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing? Or a simple setting on the unit?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

Best way to control/play shared library with iPhone

Hi there,
My iTunes library syncs with my ATV and I have set up my wife's iPhone (I don't have one yet but will get a Touch once they up the storage) to act as a remote with the Remote app.
What's the best way to set up/share my wife's music library on the ATV? I know I can set up her library on the ATV and access through 'Shared Music', but it looks as though the Remote app on the iPhone can't search, scroll, display her playlists etc in the same way that it does for the 'main' library that the ATV has stored locally.
Is the best way to have the iPhone Remote set to control the iTunes library (rather than the ATV) and have iTunes on the Mac set to Apple TV for the speakers?
I'd prefer to be able to keep all the adjustments to within just the iPhone Remote rather than give my wife a list of instructions across a number of devices (I know I'll get a call in the middle of the night when I'm overseas from my wife asking me why the iMac isn't play her music :))
Thanks,
Tom

As far as I'm aware, and certainly the case when I investigated the system a few months ago, the advantage Sonos has is being able to play different music in different rooms from the same iTunes library and Mac, and also offer streaming Internet radio.
So with Sonos you can play kiddie's music in the front room, Dad's house in the kitchen and set the radio to wake you up in the bedroom he following morning.
With iTunes/AirTunes one is rather more restricted to one source playing one song to whichever speakers you have selected. I think.
True, if you look at it as the only source of content, I was looking at it from a typical set up scenario, you seem to have two itunes libraries and an tv, so you could have different music in three rooms using your iphone as a central control, I have more sources than rooms so a sonos wouldn't do anymore than my present set up can do. If one is starting from scratch the sonos seems quite attractive, however for me it would require an investment of round about $ 5,000 to achieve something I more or less already have
