"No content in this folder" - Media Server Problem

Hey,
I've read the forums and it makes me think the media server thing is really broken, which sucks because it was a reason for me to still buy an y-fi
I have an old laptop that is running 24/7 at home and I want to stream music from it to my X-Fi. Connecting to the WLAN and finding the server works flawlessly, but it always sais "There is no content in this folder" when I select the media server o.O (the machine is running Win XP & Media Player ). When using my desktop pc i can easily browse the media content.
When i connect the x-Fi to my desktop pc (win 7, media player 2) it works. Any ideas? (except upgrading my old laptop to win7)

I am not at all familiar with 64 bit systems, so I will let others comment on that aspect. I do not know the cause of your problem, and can only guess at possible solutions. Unless anyone comes up with better ideas:
* you said '' "Tried your last suggestion, didnt have an icon to the left of my address bar, just a grayed out file." '' <br/>
If that relates to whatever is at the end of the location bar when you try to follow the instructions for setting a home page it should be possible to drag and drop it onto the home page icon. I think one the few exceptions is where you are using a blank page, that has an icon that will not drag and drop. (although there are other ways blank pages can be set to be the, or one of the, home pages used).
Other possible reasons for your problem are given in this KB article
* [[firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]] <br/> although I think I have a vague recollection the problem with Firefox being set to open incorrect types, and entering an infinite loop may have been resolved. The restore session and malware problems are still definite possibilities.
* I suppose yet another possibility is some other application looking for updates or something, that is trying to use Firefox for that purpose.
When all else fails try using Firefox's [safe Mode]], but do NOT make changes at the first window with the options list, just click on continue, if that fails to help disable all plugins also.

  • Big Permissions Problem: "You Cannot Change The Contents Of This Folder"

    I installed Tiger some time ago (and need to upgrade now from 10.4.6 to 10.4.9).
    I haven't used it much since some of my software will only run under Panther.
    In any case, I'm using it now and have been having big permissions/user accounts problems.
    I have two users on the computer "robert" and "ra", both with admin privileges (I set up two because I was trying to get around these problems -- I'd be very happy with just one).
    I have 10.4.6 installed on an external HD and boot from that into Tiger (I have Tiger on another external HD as a backup, and my main HD in the iMac has 10.3.9 -- that's what I boot from when I need to run older programs).
    In any case, both "robert" and "ra" have ADMIN privileges. But I get weird ownership problems. For instance, if I am logged in as "ra" and try to play a Realplayer file streaming from the web (in Firefox 1.x), I get the error
    /Users/robert/Desktop/307e6wz7 could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
    I check the ownership of the "Desktop" folder -- read/write for "ra".
    If I right-click I can save the Realplayer file to the desktop.
    Same with other links.
    I've also noticed other ownership problems (blocked folders at finder level) but can't duplicate tonight. Is this an obscure error, or is there something amiss in ownership recognition? Is there some way I can sort all out? Login in as "root" and set all right?
    Thanks

    Yes they do. When you installed them you dragged these particular apps to the Applications folder. Doing so automatically attributes the program with the ownership attributes of the account owner who installed them - 'robert.'
    Proper application installers install apps under the system/admin ownership. You can try to fix these apps by changing their permissions:
    Select the app and CTRL-click to open the contextual menu. Choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Select the Contents folder and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Ownership and Permissions section click on the tiny arrow icon to expose the panel. Click on the little lock icon to authenticate. Change permissions as follows:
    Owner = system with Read/Write privileges
    Group = admin with Read/Write privileges
    Other with Read-Only privileges
    Click on the Apply To Enclosed Items button. Close the lock by clicking again on the lock icon.

  • FavoriteFolder, how to get the content inside this folder

    Hi
    I have to get with the Java api consumer the content inside the favorite folder. How can i get it?
    i write this code:
                   String searchQuery = search://{'guaglanto1'}?SearchKeywords=true&SearchExact=true&SearchCaseSensitive=true;
                   ResponseHolder rh = boBIPlatform.get(searchQuery, null);
                   InfoObjects myFav = rh.getInfoObjects();
                   if (myFav == null || source.getInfoObjectArray().length == 0){
                     result="No terms matching the following search query could be found: " + searchQuery;
                             return result;
                   result ="";          
                   for (InfoObject infoObject: myFav.getInfoObjectArray()){
                     result= result+ infoObject.getName() + " has CUID: " + infoObject.getCUID()+ " type "+ infoObject.getKind() + " has childreen "+ infoObject.getChildrenObjects();
    Where guaglanto1 is the title of the favoriteFolder.This code show the CUID,name,kind and children of the favoriteFolder.  Now i want to navigate this folder and get its content (i see from InfoViewApp there are 5 web intelligent report inside the favorite folder) but i don't know how can i get that.
    Anyone can help me to resolve this problem?
    thank you
    best regard
    Andrea

    once you get the SI_ID or SI_CUID of the favorites folder you need to write an additional query to pull all its children using:
    select * from ci_infoobjects where si_parentcuid='<si_cuid of favorites folder>'
    If the favorites folder contains folders with subfolders, this will be a recursive call. You can use query://{select....} or path://
    Look at the BIPlatform documentation in API reference and there is more information on how to use query:// or path://

  • WRT610N v20090121 Media Server Problem!

    Since upgraded to the newfirmware, I was not able to view any video that was on the usb hardrive or flashdisk through my PS3 or PC via UPNP Media Server. I'm able to view or change the file through my network, but I want to be able to stream it to my PC or PS3.  I did try to restore to default and configure my settings again after update. Anyone else had the following problems? Please let me know I'm not alone. Now I'm back to prior firmware, at least it's working fine for me.
    Please post in this thread if you had the same issue. Thanks.

    You must reset the router and re-configure it after the Upgrade as it is highly recommended, make sure that no hard drive is connected while resetting the router...

  • E3000 external storage and media server problem

    I have connected my LaCie rugged drive to the router and would like to use it as backup storage and as a way to stream video to my PS3.
    When I go to my advanced settings for the router and go to the storage heading I can see my LaCie and its specifications.  There is a button next to it that says "claim", which I press, but nothing happens.
    I don't have the option to create a shared folder, and I can't access the drive from my Mac.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
    On a somewhat related note, I've enabled the media server and can find it on my PS3, but there is nothing in the root folders.  How do I put stuff (movies, music,etc.) into these root folders? 

    Thanks, that did help.  I attached a different drive to the router and was then able to create a shared folder.
    I can now see the shared folder on my Mac.  I open this folder and there's the icon with my network name.  I double click on the network name and I get a popup with the following message:  "Select the SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to." and then a drop down box with the name of the shared folder I created and a public folder.  I select the shared drive I created and click OK.
    I then get another popup with the following message:
    SMB/CIFS File System Authentication
    Enter the workgroup or domain and your user name and password to access the server.
    Already filled out in the Workgroup or Domain is the name of one of the folders I created on the share drive.  Under username is my name and password is blank.  I enter in the password for the network and click OK.
    I then get the following message: The alis "'my network name'" could not be opened because it could not be found.  
    and then the message gives me the following options:
    Delete Alias
    Fix Alias
    OK
    It won't let me delete the alias
    I've tried fixing the alias, but when I click on the option to do this, it just takes me to my file folder structure and asks me to choose a file.  I'm not sure what I should do here.
    Any idea on what to do so I can access the shared folder I created?
    Also, on our other computer which runs windows I'm not sure how to create a root folder.  How do I do this?

  • Google chrome flash media server problems.

    google chrome constantly asks me to update the flash media yet on the adobe site it says that it already automatically updated. what do i need to do>?

    If a service can't start listening on a port it basically
    means either than you are not allowed to listen on that port. In
    this case you are listening to a port > 100 and you don't need
    to be root for that so it can't be the problem.
    In the other case the port is already in use. Make sure you
    stop a server/service before you try to start it again. FMS really
    stops and starts very slow, it takes time.
    Maybe this is your problem.

    Reset the router and reconfigure it from scratch.

    Hi all,
    I have just started Network programming in java . I tried to write simple Client and Server program which follows

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.net.ServerSocket;

              String ss ="";
              try {

                   Socket clientLink = sockServer.accept();
                   System.out.println("Connection Established");
                   InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(clientLink.getInputStream());
                   BufferedReader bufReader = new BufferedReader(isr);
                   System.out.println("buf "+bufReader.readLine());
                   try {
                        while ((ss=bufReader.readLine())!=null) {
                             ss+=ss;
                        System.out.println("client message "+ss);

    Thanks in advance.

                   System.out.println("buf "+bufReader.readLine());Here you are reading a line from the client and printing it.
                   try {
                        while ((ss=bufReader.readLine())!=null) {
                             ss+=ss;
                        }Here you are reading more lines from the client and adding it to itself then throwing it away next time around the loop.
                        System.out.println("client message "+ss);... so this can't print anything except 'null'.
                   pw.write("hello");Here you are printing one line to the server. So the server won't ever do anything in the readLine() loop above. Then you are exiting the client without closing the socket or its output stream so the server gets a 'connection reset'.

  • File error: a file with this filename: media server has unexpectedly quit

    I have not had any problems until yesterday when I went to export a new FCP project to Compressor and received the above messages. I have tried renaming the project, re-rendering, etc. to no avail. I have tried to follow the suggestions of similar threads but cannot find the place in Compressor where I can switch the video setting from automatic to NTSC.
    What am missing? Any suggestions welcome.

    Disregard my last post - uninstalling Norton Anti-virus solved the problem.

  • I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

    I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
    Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
    'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
    Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

  • All pictures in 1 folder after import - problem?

    Hi,
    due to a hardware change (I´m now an iMac Owner ;)) I had to import all my photos into iPhoto.
    Previously I did a copy of all my photos on an external hard drive, unfortunately without any folder structure. In other words all phtos (approx. 9.000 photos) were inside 1 folder on the external hard drive.
    After importing the photos iPhoto automatically put all the files/pictures into the folder ORIGINALS but also without any subfolder. In the meantime I have of course splitted one respective event into 40-50 accordingly inside iPhoto.
    Overall a new photo structure was planned anyway!
    Question:
    Is it a problem of speed or any other issue if iPhoto has to search always through the whole folder when accessing a single photo. I did not get any warning when importing the photos within the iPhoto application. Or is it only a question of folder structure inside iPhoto without any limits related to speed or possible other issues? Or will be originals inside iPhoto never touched?
    Does it make sense to split the original files within the folder ORIGINALS into subfolder? AFAIK a manual change of the iPhoto structure is not recommended, right?
    I hope someone understand my nonsens ..

    AFAIK a manual change of the iPhoto structure is not recommended, right?
    Very right. Doing that will corrupt the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    It makes no difference whatever how iPhoto stores the photos inside the Library Package. You do all your work in the iPhoto Window and there is never a need for you to go into the Library package at all.
    So, organise your photos in the iPhoto Window
    Regards
    TD

  • Home media server for mac, that you can also get to remotely.  Any ideas?  I am out of space on my macbook pro hard drive and appletv.  Need some sort of media server for delivery to macs, ipods, ipads, etc.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have been using my macbook pro as a home media server, hosting most content on the macbook with ipod touch, ipads, and appletv streaming/sharing content.  I have run out of space on both the macbook pro and the apple tv and am looking to moving the content to a home media server.  Any thoughts/suggestions?  I'd like something that I can access remotely too.  I have an old slingbox and also have a static IP address.
    Any thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome!

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • Integrating Flash Media Server with other formats

    I would like to create a standard screen/player that can play
    any of the following formats:
    windows media files, all flash files, quick time files, real
    player files.
    So, for example, lets say I want to manipulate the screen to
    be an exact aspect ratio and have the same skin, and exact same
    controls as my flash files, but I don't want to work with Real
    Server or a Windows Media Server to serve these files what is the
    best approach to take ? i.e. a "Standardized" look and feel for all
    the formats listed.
    Where would I be able to get information that will help me
    achieve this ?

    There are two parts to this,
    Flash Media Server application - both client and server side. Check out the video conference app here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html.
    The client side app will be a .swf file which you can develop in Flash/Flex.
    Second, you will have to embed this swf file in your asp.net page that will be delivered to browsers. I am not an expert in asp.net but googled a bit and get a feeling it's possible using
    tag.
    Also don't forget to check this link http://renaun.com/blog/2006/10/28/139/ for video conferencing app using flex and FMS.
