Play back for Archived audio file

First of all, forum users, please pardon my ignorance with Documentum...my first experience with this after many years in SAP.
I don't see any posts or articles on this subject. I'm attaching a WMA file to Documentum. I need to be able to play that back, using the user's PC player, in this case Windows Media Player. Has anyone seen documentation on how to call media player from frontend services and pass the audio file, or can you suggest the "best practice" for this?
My PDFs display easily using ARCHIVOBJECT_DISPLAY, and I suppose I expected that FM to decide how to handle the file, but it seems to work only for PDFs, so far, for me.

Found way to do...
read file back from documentum
download to desktop
call frontend services execute.

Weird timing issues when playing back a recorded sound file and with synths

Hello there,
I'm having a couple of strange issues with playing back files that I have recorded using MIDI data which is then used to play an external synth which then gets recorded to an audio track which at the time is perfectly synced to a click track.
The problem is (and I really dont get why this is happening) when it comes to playing back the recorded audio file that sometimes it is either behind or ahead of the beat.
This makes absolutely no sense because sometimes it IS in time with the beat and other times when I play through my piece it is obviously out! I haven't moved the audio file in the arrange window and it is a permanent .aiff file that is stored on my hard-drive...what on Earth is going on?
On a side note, the same problem happens with any of Logic's synths when I use an LFO that is supposed to be synced to the beat. Sometimes when I play back the MIDI data it is perfectly synced and in time and other times it is horribly out. It really is just pot luck!
Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you supermacmom!
I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone5, and I remember the instructions saying that any protective screen cover should be removed before enclosing the phone into the case, but I left mine on with no ill effects.
But I should have taken off the back protective film, which was covering the video mic!

"recover database until cancel" asks for archive log file that do not exist

Hello,
Oracle Release : Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Last week we performed, a restore and then an Oracle recovery using the recover database until cancel command. (we didn't use backup control files) .It worked fine and we able to restart the SAP instances. However, I still have questions about Oracle behaviour using this command.
First we restored, an online backup.
We tried to restart the database, but got ORA-01113,ORA-01110 errors :
sr3usr.data1 needed media recovery.
Then we performed the recovery :
According Oracel documentation, "recover database until cancel recovery" proceeds by prompting you with the suggested filenames of archived redo log files.
The probleme is it prompts for archive log file that do not exist.
As you can see below, it asked for SMAarch1_10420_610186861.dbf that has never been created. Therefore, I cancelled manually the recovery, and restarted the database. We never got the message "media recovery complete"

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
Let me answer your query.
=======================
Your question: While performing the recovery, is it possible to locate which online redolog is needed, and then to apply the changes in these logs
1.   When you have current controlfile and need complete data (no data loss),
      then do not go for until cancel recovery.
2.   Oracle will apply all the redologs (including current redolog) while recovery
     process is    on.
3. During the recovery you need to have all the redologs which are listed in the    view    V$RECOVERY_LOG and all the unarchived and current redolog. By querying V$RECOVERY_LOG you    can find out about the redologs required.
4. If the required sequence is not there in the archive destination, and if recovery process    asks for that sequence you can query V$LOG to see whether requested sequence is part of the    online redologs. If yes you can mention the path of the online redolog to complete the recovery.
Hope this information helps.
Regards,
Madhukar

To calculate Header size for an audio file.

HI ALL
Iam displaying the wave form for an audio file opened(.wav, .au ...etc) and doing any edit operation (cut for example) my waveform is shown with extra header (bytes) added to this wave form, i want to get rid of this. That's why i want to calculate the Header Size, which i heard that header size is not constant for all the files(even same two .wav files).
Any Ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
kalpana.

find the documentation for the .wav file format :P

TS3297 Cannot get anymore than 11 sec out of play back for music.

Cannot get anymore than 11 seconds of play back for preview of music to purchase. I believe this start happening after Apple sent a revision to Itunes software loaded on my computer. So many updates from Apple. Anyone know of a fix? Apple will not provide free support unless purchase product less than 90 days old. This will certainly alter my frequency of shopping.

Check out this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3970684?start=120&tstart=0. Been going on since 5/22.

HT2375 Using logic 9: play back of all project files now has problems: Track volumes are way off - if panning is set to center then you cant hear that track? Even if pan is adjusted tracks are low and or distorted I have looked at core/built in audio

Been having project play back problems for about a month. Sometimes when I open a project the volume of certain tracks is low and or distorted. Oddly if a midi track is panned to the center (0) its volume is too low and if I pan right or left the track becomes louder. Sometimes this doesn't help and if it is an audio track things become distorted.
Although things have been working good for about a year now I think it has something to do with the fact that I have to take the laptop to work and use headphones/built in audio for play back and then take it home and use different audio interface but I can't be sure. The settings in preferences/audio/devises seem to be correct.
I have not added any plug-ins recently. I have not downloaded any new programs recently other than a NI tutorial video (shouldn't have any affect) but I am trying to use a new midi controller but again that shouldn't have any affect on play back of existing track?
Any suggestions?

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

Quicktime playing back speed, and audio sync

Hello,
I'm trying to use QTPro instead of iMovie to digitize ntsc video because it produces a single DV file instead of multiple files in iMovie. This saves the rendering process in iMovie. These files need to be a single video file and are used in a chase computer for audio post work. Typical program lengths are between 1 and 3 hours, sometimes more.
When playing the files back in QT the audio progressively drifts even though the firewire box has a switch for "locked audio" that supposedly deals with long DV audio drift.
Another problem that may be related, but certainly can't be good for post work, is that the Movie Info window shows a movie rate of 29.97, correct, but a playing rate of 30. I can't figure out how to get that to play at 29.97.
One last question - the QT record settings have different resolutions (640xxx?) than the native DV resolution of 720xxx, and seem to have a slightly different pixel aspect ratio as well.
Any ideas about these issues? It's messed up my workflow for now, as the iMovie solution has an extra step that takes up double the disk space and extra time.
Digitizing box is a Canopus ADVC-100 with an external 3.5" firewire drive for video, no other apps running at the same time.
Thanks

G4-17 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'm definitely at 48k/16b, with locked audio on the Canopus.
Sounds like you've got it covered, then. Not sure what else would be causing the A/V drift then, assuming "lock" circuit is functioning properly.
I watched the playing rate and it's mostly at 30 with an occasional dip to 29.75, possibly averaging to 29.97. Hopefully it's correctly playing 29.97
Your upper and lower observed excursions exactly match my own.
The older projects were indeed done with an early version of iMovie and would segment at just under 10 minutes - the 2G limit.
Correct. On mine the "just under" 2 GB limit equated to 9'11" for the first break and 9'8" for each additional. Not sure how exact this carryover is between machines and external drives.
I did a test today using my current version, iMovie HD 5, and it segmented a 2h10min program at just over 1hour per segment. Do you happen to know if the newest iMovie corrects this?
Am wondering if this test is repeatable and/or consistent between capture of different material. Have noted two instances that seem to cause segmentation and/or total termination of capture. One is a "weak" drive sector that passes read/write tests (i.e. test usually done with multiple but limited re-write attempts) but drops a frame during actual capture and trips termination on my older G4 laptop (using older version of iMovie with preference set to do this). As to current iMovie version (v6.02), would assume this could happen if "automatic scene detection" is turned on and a dropped frame is detected. In addition, if this option is turned on, a "time limit" for capture can then be specified. Can't remember if these preference options were included in previous versions of iMovie. You may want to check on this possibility.
I can certainly try the Vidi app you mentioned.
Application is a basic, dedicated, "no frills" utility with fewer "platform limitations" (it works on older platforms/OS) than iMovie. I find it very handy for mobile capture using my old laptop. Here is the VersionTracker link if interested:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18234&page=2
After updating various things I tried using QTPro recording as a test, and after about 1h50min it crashed, leaving the file unfinished and useless. Is there a reputation with QTPro recording? Is it rumored to be unstable? I'm a bit nervous using it now. I keep my systems streamlined for audio post, so I doubt it's a conflict.
Tend to consider it "an afterthought" added to the latest version of QT and as such, a "work still in progress." Frame rates have greatly improved with the last few updates but, like you, I still consider it more of a novelty at this time -- handy for some usese but not something I would trust for precision work.
I solved that by showing package contents of the iMovie project and removing the media clip, a dv file.
I certainly see no problem with this approach if all you want is access to the "raw" material in a file format and especially if you keep it on the same drive. (I.e., all your are doing here is changing the VTOC pointers to the data and not actually copying and/or moving any vast amounts of data, not to mention, it additionally saves drive space.) Basically, the export/copy approach means re-writing vast amounts of data which is directly related to speed of your external drive, CPU and the speed of your target drive. For some purposes, the creation of a reference file may be handy. But even here, you are usually just postponing an inevitable time delay somewhere else in your work flow.

Audio doesn't play back through DAE audio tracks

I work on Digidesign HD hardware and Logic as a front end and a problem has crept in over the last week or so.
I will be working on a song and suddenly with no warning Logic freezes for about 30sec or so. After this all audio files playing back on DAE tracks will not playback or white noise plays back from those track. The DTDM tracks and instruments tracks work fine. This happens wether i have a couple of tracks on the go or loads. It's like the DAE audio playback side crashes but all other things still play back through the DAE so it half works.
PLEASE PLEASE help as i have to reboot Logic everytime and 10-20 mins later it happens all over again.
Thanx
G5 dual 2Gh Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Just some quick thoughts....I'm not a "techie", but have had my share of softwaretrouble!!
It could be that Logic is set to global 16bit - and you try to play back 24bit files. Had kind of same problem a year ago, but don't remember if it was Logic OR ProTools that gave this result (played for a while...then a burst of white noise). But the crash...no. This is probably caused by other components. It's usually a good thing to trash the Logic preference file and restart. Then check preferences>audio>drivers>DAE that the global bitrate is set as desired (according to your already recorded files). The DAE preferences don't contain that much information, but could be helpful to trash too. Just remember to set the playback buffersize to a reasonable amount for your setup.
Hope this will help.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

How do I play a video and audio file at the same time on Apple Tv?

I need to play a video loop (with no audio) on my apple tv and also play some music in the background. Its a video loop with no audio and then I need music to play in the background. The loop needs to repeat all day because its only 5 min long and the audio is an entire play list that's several hours. This is for a lobby flat screen setup.

QuickTimeKirk wrote:
Very difficult request because the Apple TV can only play one file at a time. It doesn't have a "loop" feature.
You could use QuickTime Player Pro to "join" the audio files into one file. The hard part would be adding the five minute video chunks via copy/paste as each would be added as a new "video" track. QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks" and the .mov container is supported by Apple TV.
So this new file would have a new video track (actually just a copy of the original) that played up to 98 times. A five minute source video would end up being a bit over 8 hours in duration.
The 98 track video could be "flattened" into one video track via export. The same for the audio track movie.
Other options:
Set the Quicktime Loop flag in the movie inspector properties.
Make a video playlist, adding the file to the playlist lots of times - make sure playlists are enabled in Settings for video not just music.

Should I back up my files with another external hard drive when I am already backing up time machine with my current external hard drive? Or, should I just get a flash usb to back up my audio files?

I am not sure what is best to back up my audio lecture files?
Thank you so much for your kind help...I am very grateful and Blessings to you!

Two backups are better than one, especially if the files are important. So make sure Time Machine is set to back up your "audio lecture files", and copy them to a flash drive as well.
(Keep in mind that no-one but you knows how Time Machine is set up on your computer, or where you store your "audio lecture files", or how important they are for you.)

My iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.5) can't play my protected AAC Audio files

When i try playing an older song i have purchased in iTunes, of the "protected AAC audio file" type, my iPhone just skips it. And this is on both my new acount and my old acount. I made two playlist to test this issue, and the older "protected" files does not work, but all the new "purchased" files work fine.
I should think this is a software problem, and more people are experiencing this, but i couldn't find any ohter threads with this issue...

ITunes skips/pauses when playing back .wav or .aiff files

Hello all,
Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 6.01, every .wav or .aiff file I play results in skipping playback. Sometimes the sound will pause, other times it will skip half a second or more. It sounds like a scratched CD without the screeching.
The iTunes visualiser goes 'flat' during these periods of silence, implying that it thinks the silences are breaks in the music. Rewinding the skipped portion usually results in it playing back satisfactorily, although it will continue to skip throughout the remainder of the track, as it would have done without my intervention.
They still skip when opening the files in QuickTime Player, although not as much - perhaps once a tune rather than the five-almost constant in iTunes. Also, they worked perfectly in both programs before I upgraded to 6.01.
Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?
I've sent feedback to Apple, but other than that, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time,
Tony Ghirra
Powermac G5 Dual Processor 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2.5 Gb RAM

I updated the AE firmware and made sure my airport and AE software were current, but the problem is still there. One thing that makes it hard to track is that the amount of skipping varies during the day, so sometimes it will play an album without skipping, and others it will skip a few times per track (i.e. unlistenable). Still fiddling with channels to see if that helps...
There is one peculiar thing that happens only with playback involving AirportExpress, even if there are no skips in the track:
When iTunes approaches within (approx) 10-15 seconds of the end of a song, it will jump the time-display forward to the beginning of the next song: then the display will wait at the 0-second mark of the new song till the current song almost finishes (it will clip a couple of seconds off the end): then iTunes will start playing the next new song.

Is it Possible to Play More than 1 Audio File Parallelly ?

Friends,
Is it possible to run more than 1 audio file at a time using Player or Processor ???
For example, i have
Audio1.MP3, which play for 2 minutes (which has only music).
Audio2.MP3, which play for 1 minute ( which has only voice).
I want to start with Audio1.MP3 and when it reach 1 minute, Audio2.MP3 should parallelly run with Audio1.MP3, so that 2 audio file should finish at same time.
I want my music and voice should be mixed... (i.e) i want to mix two audio tracks..
Is it possible thru JMF ????
Regards
Senthil

I dont know if its possible with JMF, but it is with javax.sound
You write a method to play a file, and then you create two threads where each one plays a different sound file, and tell one of them to wait 60000 millis.
