Play or download a WAV audio file stored in a BLOB

Hi all, I was hoping someone could point me to the proper steps to take to download or play a WAV audio file I have stored in a BLOB column (from APEX). I'm sure it's probably pretty easy, but I can't quite find exactly the right approach.
Basically all I want to accomplish is show a report, standard or IR, that will show some kind of link if there is a non-null BLOB value for a column -- the column only stores WAV audio files. I'd like the link (image, button, whatever) to either play the audio file directly (using whatever desktop player, plugin whatever the user might have), or at least prompt to download the WAV file for playback later.
Any advice on how to easily do this?
Thanks very much
David

Linking Soundtrack Pro to audio files stored on an external drive

FCP user but using SP for the first time. I have the large sized audio files stored on an external drive which at the moment I can't access from within SP. Just wondering the best way to link to the audio files?

I actually use the 'save as' function that consolidates all the audio clips and move them onto a separate drive. I'm doing a lot of large projects that have more clips than are actually used. Consolidation means I can move and work on another machine. And in the end it's easier to archive this single directory of files. Works for me, especially because sometimes the audio sources are scattered in too many places on my system.

Download/Display the image files stored at KM location: J2EE application

Hi All
Please let me know how to download/Display the image files stored at KM location on portal using J2EE application. Thanks.

You can use a servlet to deliver the image data to the <img tag, which allows you to get the data from something other than a file on the server (e.g. store the image data as a session attribute with a generated attribute key, the key being given in the serlvet's query string).

How do I export separate really short wav. audio files?

Hey, I'm having a big problem with the exporting procedure using wav. audio files. For my editing project, a client asked me to export separate wav. audio file from a large audio sequence about a live auction, and he will use each 'bet' audio files for his website. For example, he wants each 'bet' that the auctioneer says to be put as separate wav file, so I cut each number individually with '1', '2', '3', '4', so on and so forth. However, when I'm trying to export each wav audio file for each number, all it came up with is general error message. Is it too short? If so, how do I export really short wav. audio clip? I'm really behind schedule and I don't think there's much of an alternative to send separate short audio files over to his e-mail. Let me know if I'm not making it clear.

I record voice tracks for slide shows that are online training packages that require WAV files.
Here's what I do. It's tedious but the workflow guarantees accuracy and repeatability.
Ingest.
Create master sequence of audio-only. Edit out bad takes. Using blade tool, slice track into separate sections for each slide. Make aditional edits in each slide's segment to take out bad takes, flubs.
Save early, save often.
Select all, adjust levels.
Select all, make independent clip. This step is crucial.
Back in browser, I create a new sequence and call it slide_01 and open the sequence. I go back to the Master, select one at a time the clips that are used for slide_01, use properties and rename them slide_01a, slide_01b, slide_01c. Copy them and paste them into the slide_01 sequence.
Repeat for every slide in the show, sometimes there are forty of the little basterds.
When I'm all done, I select all fo the slide sequences and use batch export.
Making the clips independent means they can be easily edited without referring to the original media. Using batch export means they allgo to the same location with the same settings.

APEX- How to open world document (and other files) stored in a blob column?

Hi,
I have an application developed in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 and RDBMS Oracle 9.2.0.8 (SUN SOLARIS SPARC 64 BITS).
I have a table called BAC_ARQUIVO, with the following structure:
CREATE TABLE BAC_ARQUIVO
(NAME VARCHAR2(4000), /* Name of the file stored in BLOB column */
SUBJECT VARCHAR2(4000), /* A brief description about this file stored */
ID NUMBER, /* An identification of this file - It´s a PK column of this table*/
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB, /* Blob field that store diferent kind of files - XLS, DOC, PPT, PDF, EXE, ZIP, etc);
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(4000) /* Identification about which kind of file is stored on BLOB field */
The field BLOB_CONTENT of this table can store:
- Executable files;
- MS-World Documents (DOC);
- Zip Files (ZIP);
- Ms-Excel Files (XLS);
- Ms-Powerpoint files (PPT);
- Adobe documents (PDF);
Actually, in this APEX application, i have developed a interactive Report in which the user can download these files to desktop without problems.
But now, my user would like to know if it´s possible that APEX application can OPEN some of these files stored on this BLOB column WITHOUT download it.
My user would like to see a hiperlink (or button) that, if pressed/acessed, can open a new page (or a page inside application) with the document. He doesn´t need to edit this oppened file. He only wants to see it.
For example, if the file stored in the blob column is ms-word type , so the application will open a MS-WINDOWS application with these file.
Is it possible?
I saw in this forum that it´s possible to open a file stored on "/i/" directory, but i need to open the file stored in BLOB column. I don´t want to store the file in operational system of the server.
Could any one demonstrate to me how it could be done?
Best regards,
Sergio Coutinho

Hi Sergio,
This link might be helpful:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Also refer the BLOB Download Format Mask :
{message:id=9716335}
Here I have given the format mask for APEX 4.0, which will slightly differ for 3.2.1 and proposed changes
in the format mask are:
1) Format Mask: DOWNLOAD
2) Content Disposition: Inline
This will be achieved with it:

Hi,
We finnally succeeded. Dsegard gave us the right solution. <div>It was the setup of the display that was on error. We use VNC as the display. Now the display is set correctly and the reports shows up fine.
By seting REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=NO, It did work for both the server and the local host.
Thank you dsregard.</div>

Sequence Panel and CTI lock-up - Solved, problem due to 48kHz .wav audio files

Answering my own issue here, but maybe someone else will benefit as well...
PC, Windows 7
Upon opening an ongoing project I found the sequence panel and CTI were immediately unresponsive. The PC was also showing a high amount of background processing on the PrPro processes. I went back to a previous project version and everything was normal.
In the latest (problem) version I had added some VO to the sequence - audio .wav files encoded as 48kHz, 16bit.
I then renamed the audio file folder and reopened the newest project, causing PrPro to not find them and placed them offline. Everything returned to normal.
I then converted the 48kHz audio files to 44.1, 16bit and reopened the project, designating the new files to replace the old. Again, opeing the newest project, everything was OK and I was able to continue on.
It seems that the 48kHz files were causing PrPro to hard-loop in a background process in the indexing, conforming and peak file generation phase. I found when using the problematic project that the sequence panle adn CTI were actually responding, but only after a very long delay. An example would be to try to reposition the CTI with no response, then clicking play and stop in the playback window, then the CTI would update.

That is odd
When I do DV project with video that is digitized by my old Pinnacle DV500 card, the audio inside the DV AVI is always 48khz 16bit stereo... and I do, of course, create a project to match the files

ITunes will not play/allow import of any audio files

I have iTunes installed via Windows 7. Yesterday, iTunes stopped playing any audio files. I first noticed this problem after streaming music to my apple TV went bonkers. I tunes would play the first 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next one, even though all music played fine through iCloud on my apple TV. Afterwords all audio files just stopped playing with an error. Before this time everything worked fine.
I double click on them or right click on play and nothing happens, period. Of note, almost all the artwork that was associated with the audio files has also disappeared in itunes. I can still play video files with sound through itunes without any problem. I can play all music through quicktime, vlc, etc. without any issue. I can also link to my pc-itunes library and play the same music through iTunes installed on my mac without issue. I can play samples fine through itunes via the itunes store.
I tried I have tried unistalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. (following Apple's recomendations for unistalling) with subsequent reinstalls now 3 times. I even paid good money for RegCure Pro to clean the registry - still the same problem.
I also cannot import audio files into itunes on my pc now either - dragging and dropping as well as, going through the menu - nothing works!
This has got to be the most frustrating issue that I have had to deal with on a computer!
Please help!

I have now discovered the problem. The hard drive that I was using for iTunes was Dirty; meaning that something was corrupted. As a result I had to copy all file to a temp location and reformat the drive. This solved the problem. Of note, I had formatted the drive the first time using exFAT in hopes of being apple to use if needed with my mac mini.

Playing a series of extrernal audio files

Hi, I am bulding a slide show with syncronised audio I have a
working version which will load a series of jpgs names 1.jpg, 2.jpg
and a series of mp3s (1.mp3 etc). The problm comes when I wanted to
add play and pause buttons.
It works until on the second audio file if I click pause then
pay it goes back to audio file 1.mp3. Can't for the life of me find
the right code.
Here is is. Any thoughts would be greatfully recieved.

Your complete function has this line:
var soundGlobal:Sound=new Sound(new
URLRequest("audio/2.mp3"),slcGlobal);
It's not much of a global if you have defined it in two
places! Should the line read like this?:
soundGlobal=new Sound(new
URLRequest("audio/2.mp3"),slcGlobal);

.wav audio file not syncing up to project

I have a project of a concert that i have recorded in DV/NTSC 29.97fps and 48kHz rate for audio and wanted to sync a master audio .wav file, replacing the original audio from the recording but at the end of the set, the audio goes out of sync. I tried to export the audio file from a sequence w/ 29.97 fps and used the exported audio file on the concert and it is still doing the same thing. Its there something i am not doing right?

I believe that there's your problem - because 30fps is not exactly the same as 29.97fps. It is 0.1% slower and that may be causing your drift. Try doing a speed change on your audio file (command-J) and just make it 101% of its original speed. See if that works?

Why cant i play my real player .ra audio files

Since I updated to Firefox 4 I can no longer play my real audo .ra type files - .mp3 files work but .ra do not and in the applications tab there is no ra type file listed

Hey! :)If you still have the problem, I found a solution for me. Maybe it works for you, too. Try to check all boxes in you Windows Firewall settings for Spotify.exe. After Windows 10 update, Spotify seems to have lost some permissions.

can anybody tell me what java code to write to insert an audio obj into db blob field.
thanxx in advance.

I have never tried an MP3 file but have done images.
I assume the same type of methods would work.
Try looking at some of these forum answers.

How to download a csv/excel file stored in a server using OA Framwork

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to generate a CSV file using PL/SQL block and the user shoul download that csv file to his client machine whenever it requirs to him. We have generated csv file and save the same in a particular location in the server. As the CSV file size may be around 10 to 15 MB we feel the storing and retrieving of the csv file in a BLOB object is a performance hit. Now we want to dowload the file from the csv file path without storing the csv file into database BLOB object.
Is this possible using OA framwork? if so please guide me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sathesh.

If u know following details you can use below method to download any file ( XLS/any) its generic method I have used in one of my project-
1. File Name with Extension
2. File path at which it has been placed
3. Page Context (you must know i assume)
public void DownloadFileFromServer(OAPageContext pgeContext, String file_name_with_path,
String file_name_with_ext)
System.out.println("Filename path "+file_name_with_path + "File Name:" + file_name_with_ext);
HttpServletResponse responseVar = (HttpServletResponse)pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
if (((file_name_with_path == null) || ("".equals(file_name_with_path))))
System.out.println("File path is invalid.");
File fileToDwnld = null;
try
fileToDwnld = new File(file_name_with_path);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Invalid File Path or file does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.exists())
System.out.println("File does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.canRead())
System.out.println("Not Able to read the file.");
String MADfileType = getMADMimeType(file_name_with_ext);
System.out.println("File Type - " + MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentType(MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentLength((int)fileToDwnld.length());
System.out.println("File Size is " + fileToDwnld.length());
responseVar.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file_name_with_ext + "\"");
InputStream inStr = null;
ServletOutputStream outStr = null;
try
outStr = responseVar.getOutputStream();
inStr = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToDwnld));
int ch;
while ((ch = inStr.read()) != -1)
outStr.write(ch);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally
try
outStr.flush();
outStr.close();
if (inStr != null)
inStr.close();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();

WAVE audio file support

WAVE files that I imported from a SONY digital dictaphone aren't playing in iTunes. The files play fine in QuickTime and used to play fine in iTunes too. Not sure on which version they stopped working. Now they just skip through almost instantaneously without playing a sound .. even if I re-import them. If I try to convert to MP3 in iTunes, my mac tells me "The disk could not be read from or written to". Answers/clues much appreciated.

I've responded to at least a couple of posts about this issue recently, so you may be able to search for some details quite easily.
Basically, I think that you have WAV files that don't conform to the limited scope of parameters iTunes can handle. To remedy this problem, you can use Audacity to convert the WAVs to WAV format again, but using the following settings:
16 bit fixed point
44.1kHz
Stereo
Now, you can replace the old WAV files in iTunes with the new ones and play and convert them as desired. Please let me know if this helps or not.
