Path Names Video and Searchpaths

Hi Guys,
#I wonder if someone can help me i am really baffled why a
application i have been working on for ages and was working fine
has chosen now to change how it operates.
The application has had no problems in the past with locating
video files stored in a sub-directory or the route call 'res'
whilst the projector resides in the root itself.
However on recent exports the published project can no longer
find the video files - hence a user prompt when the application is
run, to locate the files.
Can anyone try to explain what-has/may-have happened.
I have in the meantime placed all files into the root as a
workaround but this is not ideal as the root directory is now very
messy.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Javo
P.S.
I have read about search paths what is the best way of
implementing a searchpath for a subdirectory/folder called res as
all video files are forced to load as members before frame 1.
Also can you past the code.

Put this 'on startMovie' in a movie script, and yes you will
need this for all your movie clips:
on startMovie
member("yourVideoMember").filename = the moviePath &
"\yourSubfolder\" & "yourVideo.avi"
member("yourVideoMember2").filename = the moviePath &
"\yourSubfolder\" & "yourVideo2.avi"
member("yourVideoMember3").filename = the moviePath &
"\yourSubfolder\" & "yourVideo3.avi"
member("yourVideoMember4").filename = the moviePath &
"\yourSubfolder\" & "yourVideo4.avi"
end

How to use path names for library filter?

Hi all,
I have been looking for a way to use the library filter functionality to show only images in a particular folder (or subfolder thereof). From the help pages [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSAB7B303E-081D-4617-BF47-B4B8D3D49CC3.htm l] I found that the image path is included when you filter using 'any searchable field'.
However, I do not seem to be able to use a full path name, just the individual directory names. To give an example, I can locate files in c:\data\photos using 'contains all: c data photos', but this will also select images in 'c:\data\someotherproject\photos'. I have tried all combinations of slashes and backslashes, but have found no solution to this problem. Does anyone know what the internal representation for the path name is, and if it's possible to search for it?
Just to pre-empt the obvious answer: I know that you can simply click on a folder to show its contents. However, using the filter bar would be a more permanent selection of a working directory, which remains when you click on a collection, for example.
Thanks.
Simon

Sorry, I could have been clearer.
What I'm trying to achieve is the following. My computer contains photos by myself, my wife and others, organised in three main folders. Having them in separate catalogs isn't convenient, because we often have photos of the same event (outings, holidays). However, most of the time I only want to work on my photos, and my wife wants to work on hers. A directory filter would be a good and fool-proof way of doing things. I am currently using a special keyword to do this, but I must remember to apply the correct keyword when importing.
Adding a folder as a favorite only works to select that folder in its entirety. What I would like to do is to have a 'master' folder selected and then use Lightroom as I normally would (select folders, collections, etc) Filtering by path name would enable me to do just that - and it does, except that there are false positives due to not being able to enter a full path name.
A smart collection has the same problem: the 'Folder' rule doesn't seem to support paths. And even if it did, it's not possible to select two collections with a logical 'and' operator, unless you make a new smart collection for each possibility.
My current keyword workaround is functional, but slightly error-prone. And in any case, if 'any searchable field' includes the file path, it stands to reason that there should be a way to match that with the entire path. The documentation isn't clear about this, so I hope that anyone can shed some light on this.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name. How can I update these references? Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
File -> New -> Smart Album, and add a rule: File Status is "Missing" (or File Status is "offline")
Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
and select: File -> Locate referenced File
If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

How to get the name, version and path of the oracle suite(s) installed

Hi,
I am trying to gather information regarding the Name, Version and Path of Oracle installation(s) on a computer.
E.g.
Name = Oracle Database 9i Enterprise Edition
Version = 9.0.00
Path = C:\Oracle
I don't want to do it by querying the system tables. Can anyone please guide me if there is anyway to get these from either registry, WMI or API.
Any form of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Simply invoke installer (OUI).

Long file and path names

I have a dialog window where users can choose a file, the name and path of which is then displayed. The field where this is displayed isn't big enough to hold the typical long path names found on for example Windows. I was wondering if there is a standardized way of shortening/abbreviating the full path name already written up somewhere? I want my program to be portable ... I looked at how MS Word does it on Windows, and I could write a specialized function to copy that, but then it wouldn't work on other systems that use different path conventions, and I would like to keep the generality if possible. On word they do something like this
C:/.../final directory/filename

Kramis wrote:
sure, that much I understand, but I wouldn't know how to create that sort of string from an arbitrary path name of unknown format. In Windows, for example, I could take the first three characters and then ..., but that might not work globally. The questions is about parsing and converting a path name from an arbitrary system.I'd just split the path into its 'final directory name' and 'file name' (with the universal Java path seperator of (/)), and stick '...' in front of it.
So any path such as C:/blah/blah/blah/endpath/filename or /unix/path/blah/blah/endpath/filename would become .../endpath/filename regardless of platform.

PDF Download in Preview and Path Names

The menu in Preview changed with the new upgrade to Lion. When I download a PDF document and go to 'save as' in whatever folder I want, the option to save as is not listed.
Also, I have now go to folder and enter the path name whereas before I never had to enter a path name to find a folder. What am I doing wrong? Maybe I don't understand the new changes and upgrade?
Please help.

Obnoxious file and path names (help!)

How can I construct a regular site, that doesn't involve having my file names being danscool_website.html and having the url name in each file. I hate it.

It would be better to tell people what it is you do want, perhaps with an example.
If you want your file names to be different than the page and site names you yourself set in the Inspector, then you would need to edit the html by hand each time after publishing. If this is really important to you, it may be best to use another web creation app which gives you that option.
I'm not sure what you mean by "having the url name in each file". I've seen some people inflict ugly path names on themselves by naming their site inside the iWeb app the same as their personal domain name. The fix for that is to name the site something short and simple like "1" instead.
If you can provide your url or be more specific, more ideas may be fortcoming.

Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
A bit more info:
-tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
-tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
-tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
-tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

Hi,
It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line. However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
At the top is the Recipients Bar (See View Menu when Text Chat is Open).
This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
They have an @Mac.com name and Jabber ID (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

Manually migrating to another PC and full path names

This is really a question about user names. Do you have to have the same user name on the new PC if you want copy music files AND the original libary to a new PC.
I am guessing that the user name does have to be identical on the new PC from looking in iTunes Music Library.xml which appears to contain full path names.
Is there a way round this if the user names are not the same and you want to keep all the information in your library?

Just thinkng about this a bit more, I guess that as the path to the music folder is set in Preferences, the iTunes music folder can be transferred to a new PC with a different account name as long as all the music is in the iTunes music folder and the iTunes folder is copied to where it is expected on the new PC.
Have I guessed this right - that the path to the music folder is not set in iTunes Library.itl file, but in the preference file, and this is in contrast to the xml file where the full paths are given?
Unfortunately a lot of my music is not in the iTunes music folder - a strong incentive to consolodating the library before transferring.
I may seem to be a bit anal about this but I want a trouble free transfer.

How can I get the path name and rename it?

I Hope someone who knows more about automator than I can help me out here. What I'm trying to do is get the path file name, while also changing part of it. Here is my example:
I can get the path name with this "Get Path" script I found http://automatorworld.com/archives/get-path/all-comments/
It does half the job so I just need to tweak it but know how. When I get the path this is what I'll get: /Volumes/Public/Creative Services/Campaigns/2010/NCDDiv-32CDV Upgrade/NCDDIV-32Versions.xls
I need to remove the beginning part"/volumes" to "file://///nhmanmkt01"
This is so I can send the path from our sever where we keep our files to my windows friends so they can open it.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

ok, make the following workflow.
1. get selected finder items.
2. run shell script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"|sed 's%/Volumes%file://///nhmanmkt01%'
done</pre>
set the script to accept input as arguments
3. copy to clipboard
save it as a finder plugin.

Uploading .WMV files to my Asset Library spawns 2 files in the library. One conent type = Video and the other = Image. Both have same name and are .wmv

My 365 site is developed this rather odd behaviour.
I think its as a result of something I did when I tried and failed to use Document Sets to mange video files.
Anyway the result is like the title say's I know get two files in the library. What's interesting is the one that is content type = Video opens up the properties dialog for Video but does not play.
The copntent type = Image file opens the image property dialog and does play.
Note that I'm the admin for the sub-site, have very litle experience, no training and have ticked the site administrator off so much with stupid questions he's not talking to me so any help is very welcome.
Thanks

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for responding.
I can't confirm that it's an OOB Asset Library becasue I don't know how to find that out. When I'm in Suite Content and click on ... then on About I get "Asset Library A place to share, browse and mange rich media ssests, like image, audio and
video files.' I so hopefully it is. Additional information - it worked okay before I messed something up when I was trying to create a documet set. It's broken all the libraries of this type on the site.
Just tried creating a new library and I get the same problem.
Just tried uploading an MP4 file and I get the same problem.
I'm not sure what you mean by "When you uploaded the file, did you choose the content type as Video?" I use drag and drop or the Upload button and I am not prompted for a content type. The default content type is Video and I can't change the content
type to video on the file that does actually play the video. The other file is a video content type but does not play.
Sorry this is all very confusing I'm sure.
I know I've done something to mess the site settings us when I fooled with Document Set's but exactly what I did and how to fix I know not.
Thanks again for your help.

Automatic name changes and file and path name limitation when storing files

Dear all I am using Airport Extrem with an attached disc and experience following:
1) Names get changed. Second part of file name gets replaced with some hex numbering
2) Get the error message from time to time that file can't be stored on the Airport Extrem attached disc and that the file name is too long.
Any idea.

I've got the same problem with seagate 750 GB drive - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - over fast ethernet (first gen) AEBS(n)
P.S.- sometimes the folder names get corrected automaticaly, and sometimes folders get duplicated (with different corrupted hex-like name endings) and if I delete one of them, they all vanishes.

Does JMF Support multilingual absolute paths for video playback?

Hi everyone,
I hope I can find some answer here.
Does JMF supports multilingual paths for videos? E.g. I have a video located by the following URL:
G:\video\Stürmische\video.mp4
When I try to open this video by JMF, I get the following Exception: Problem playing video+
javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for :file:/G:/video/Stürmische/video.mp4_
When I use the same video.mp4 file with path containing only simple latin letters, it's played normally.
Is there any problem with JMF regarding to multilingual paths?
Many thanks,
Armine

I assume that it's a JMF cons. and IMHO, multilingual support for video paths/names should be added in it.Several things...
1) JMF is designed to play both local files and RTP/RTSP file sources. As such, it uses URLs as resource locators. It makes perfect sense to make that design decision.
2) URL encoding only allows alphanumeric characters and a handful of special characters. Considering the internet was invented by the United States army and our keyboards don't have those symbols, it makes perfect sense to make that design decision.
3) Most importantly, JMF hasn't been updated since 2002 and development has been completely discontinued... so "multilingual support" won't ever be added to it.
And it isn't multilingual support you're asking for, it's support for non-ASCII characters.
It is my understanding that you can take a path like:
G:\video\Stürmische\video.mp4
Run it through some encoding procedure, and come out with a usable URL like:
G:%5Cvideo%5CSt%FCrmische%5Cvideo.mp4
Which I got by using the encoder on the following website:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
Coincidentally, had you done the research that I suggested you do, you might have learned that Java already has something built in to handle encoding non-compliant URLs for you.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
So, I'd expect you could use the URLEncoder class to implement suggestion #3 from my previous post.
