Playing .dcr files on linux-based server

Hi there. So I've got situation like this:
I would like to present .dcr files on my site (modified
Coppermine gallery). And it would be great if I could play these
files with internal player (or sth like this) and not count that my
visitors have a plugin installed.
The point is that only about 55% of Windows users can play
.dcr files (via browser), not even mention Linux users. So I would
like to let my visitors play in games (.dcr files) without any
actions from their side.
Is it possible guys?

Oops. didn;t mean to hit send ;). No, I really don't think
this is possible.
The browser needs to know how to interpret the DCR file (as
it does a SWF
file) - hence the need to download the Shockwave or Flash
plugin in the
first place.

SWF to play mp3 files located on the server

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create an SWF file that can play mp3 files directly from the server, without the need for a streaming media server or external JS.
And also for the application to read the current directory its located in and build a playlist based on the files inside.
any information of examples would be greatly appreciated.
Peter.

As for loading and playing the files there is no issue. Simply load them as you would load any file. You can even use a relative path if they are in the same folder as the SWF, or a sub-folder that is in the folder with the SWF.
As for looking at the server directory for what files are there, and using them - I know of no way to do this. That doesn't mean it is impossible, just that I haven't come across a method in my experience.
What I typically do is to archive the list of files in an XML file, and load the XML. I know, that adds an extra step, and an extra file, but it is the easiest method for approximating what you want to do.
Let me edit this response.
You could use javascript, or a server language to grab the list of files in the directory and pass it into Flash via the ExternalInterface classes.

I'm unable to isolate the problem here. When I play the file with mplayer, it plays just fine. But with the code above, it just does not wish to play..
Can someone please point out the error I am commiting.
Thanks

I'm using the code below to play a simple wav file in
Linux:I'm running the performance pack under Win XP, here..
         try {
             URL url = new URL("file", "", "/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav");
...Is that a linear encoded, 16 bit, stereo sample
recorded at 22050Hz sample rate? 4.81 seconds
(424,644 bytes), content type audio.x_wav?
The reason I ask is just that you do not mention if
you'd tested on any other OS, and I found a very
similarly named WAV of the above description on
my system and tried it with your code - and in
JMStudio.
It ran flawlessly in both.
But on running the above program ...
I get the following error:...
file:/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav
file:/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav
com.sun.media.content.unknown.Handler@1ee4648...
Unable to handle format: LINEAR, 22050.0 Hz,
16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian, Signed, 88200.0 frame
rate, FrameSize=32 bits...
I'm unable to isolate the problem here. When I play
the file with mplayer, What is 'mplayer'? The default media player
of the OS?
..it plays just fine. But with
the code above, it just does not wish to play..
Can someone please point out the error I am
commiting.I cannot tell what the problem is, sorry. Just
thought I should check in and note there is
nothing wrong with the code, and that WAV
is sure understood by Windows based JMF.

Playing MPEG4 files on Linux with JMF

Hi all,
Is it possible to get MPEG4 files to play through the JMF on Linux?? I've been stumped at this for quite a while now and is hoping for some help...
The area's i found and look at are
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/12/23/jmf.html - this provides a brige between QT for Java and the JMF but these's no version for Linux, only windows and mac...
the ibm is an evaluation copy only and displays a nasty ibm in the corner so is no good..
Please help, i'm stumped...

hi there,
I got the IBM logo from reading the documentation that you can download with the codec, it says:
Q: How can I disable the IBM logo that appears on the video?
A: The logo appears on this evaluation version. The licensed version will not have any logo shown.
From that i was scared away and just didn't install the codec, well after reading you notes, i've installed the codec and placed it in the JMFRegistry. Just one problem, how do you get/tell java to use it, as my program still won't run an mpeg4 movie.
Here's what my JMFRegistry (in plug-ins/codec) says once i've installed codec:

Terminal Keyboard features for a Linux based Server System

Hi Forum,
there are some highlighted characters within terminal functions at a linux server (redhat or suse or ...) With Putty or a linux connection I get the special keys that are highlighted to work with the "alt" key pressed. Example is the terminal button "ok" with the "o" highlighted. If I press "alt"+"o" it would be choosen and the next page will be shown. Is there a way to make this work on a MacOSX Terminal? I had no chance to find anything similar with google. I hope you might find a solution!
Thank you and best regards,

Why READ_IMAGE_FILE is not working in Linux Appln Server?

Hello!
I have a form with a new_form_instance Trigger I wrote the read_image_file trigger to read a GIF file in an image item.It works fine on windows XP(development machine).I copied the GIF file to the same location where my fmx files are there in Linux application server.I copied and compilied my fmb file in linux application server.No compilation error is there.But when I run form from Linux the form hangs and my read_image_file command is at new form instance Trigger.I have checked the case sensitivity of the file and the permission etc in Linux.In windows Development machine the form runs successfully.What could be the problem.Please help.......
Jayashree

Hi
Incase if you find any server related error like "FRM-92101" happening on READ_IMAGE_FILE functionality, try to change the image item format from TIFF to BMP/JFIF.
Otherwise if you changed any Jinitiator or JRE Version, sign again for all the JAR Files and restart your server.

Read_image_file command does works on Linux application server

Hello!
I have a form with a new_form_instance Trigger I wrote the read_image_file trigger to read a GIF file in an image item.It works fine on windows XP(development machine).I copied the GIF file to the same location where my fmx files are there in Linux application server.I copied and compilied my fmb file in linux application server.No compilation error is there.But when I run form from Linux the form hangs and my read_image_file command is at new form instance Trigger.I have checked the case sensitivity of the file and the permission etc in Linux.In windows Development machine the form runs successfully.What could be the problem.Please help.......
Jayashree

For me, attempting the following:
  READ_IMAGE_FILE('bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif', 'GIF', 'IMAGE7');
gives this error:
  FRM-47109: Cannot locate image file bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif
Changing my command to:
  READ_IMAGE_FILE('bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif', 'URL', 'IMAGE7');
loads the image successfully.
If you truly are not getting an error message (mine appears in the status bar), then perhaps the file is being found, but the image format is not recognized or otherwise incompatible. Test this by loading one of the the images that load successfully into your iconic buttons. If that image loads successfully into your image item, fix the problem GIF image. (Recreate or open & resave with a graphics program, etc.)
If this does not appear to be the problem, the only things I can think of are for you to confirm that, in formsweb.cfg:
  1. The archive_jini entry includes your image JAR
  2. If imageBase=DocumentBase, change to imageBase=codebase
The second change may temporarily break your iconic buttons. This can be fixed by updating the buttons' Iconic Filename properties specifying only relative paths found within the JAR. Since my image is stored in the root of my JAR, no path need be specified. Had I placed my image in a subdirectory within my JAR, named images, my call would have to be changed to the following:
  READ_IMAGE_FILE('images/bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif', 'URL', 'IMAGE7');
I'm not sure whether any of these suggestions will help, but since I had no problems, I suspect it's simply a matter of differing configurations. The two items that I listed are the only two likely differences I could think of.

File Receiver channel, Append issue on Linux FTP server

Hi,
I have a File_ReceiverChannel_FTP_Order that is using the File Content Conversion message protocol.
I have setup the adapter to use File Construction Mode Append
When I run this on a windows FTP server, it is working as designed.
But when Im trying to use our Linux FTP server the append function does not work.
My adapter does not append but it is overwriting the content of the file!
Does any one know what to do about this?

Hi
i think you need to change the protocol as the linux system understand the NFS .
Thanks

Configure ODBC to access a CSV file on Linux for access from BI Server

How to configure an ODBC connection to a CSV file on Linux for access from the BI Server Repository physical layer
I am migrating a working windows OBIEE installation to Linux and can not seem to connect to csv files on Linux (from th BI server also running on the same Linux machine).
I am using SUse Linux Enterprise server / 10 (Slash 10) standard odbc drivers
My odbc ini file entries are:

The csv files I want to use are in the directory /data/oracle/OracleBIData/idc to which I have set up a working and checked connection ([idcbicsvfiles]) on the linux machine itself.
The error message I get when I select view data in the physcial layer is:
[NQODBC][SQL_STATE: HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.
[nQSError: 43093] An error occurred while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement.
[nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned ans error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down.
Please can anybody give me a clue on how to get this working e.g. a working odbc.ini file from your own installation (and/or a tip for the odbc driver choice/configuration)
P.S. I know this is not supported by Oracle but can not imagine, that nobody is using this.

EA6500 Media Server Error Message trying to play MPGE files "File is Corrupt or not supported"

To all
I have another Media Server on a WRT610N router and I am able to play the files properly. Is this a bug on the EA6500 Media Server implementation.?

I see. I understand Cisco just recently released this model in the market so probably there would be more tests to be done for further isolation and come up with a fix solution if proven to be really an issue. I guess for now we'll stand by for updates and just make the best out of Cisco's one of the top of the line routers.

I Tunes will not play play back files ripped with Handbrake on 10.6.8 Server

I have hundreds of files ripped with Handbrake that play back fine on my Mac Mini and iMacs and Macbooks connected to a server running 10.6.8 (the files are stored on the server). However, when I try to play the files with iTunes on the server machine itself, I hear volume but get a blank screen. The problem seems limited to mv4 files ripped with Handbrake, as my MOV files will play fine on the server.
Any ideas? I tried loading Perian (latest version) on the server machine but it did not fix the problem. Same blank screen.
Just to add, movies download from iTunes (M4V type) have the same issue - blank playback on the server. Only the MOV file plays. All of these files will play when Quicktime is used as a player, just not with iTunes.

My approach to this problem has been to start by setting up the new os x 10.10 servers and just two os x 10.10 clients. I've plodded through setting up the server1 and client 1 and then checking that server2 replicates correctly and client 2 can be deployed and managed via DeployStudio and Profile Manager. At the moment I am using client 2 for my own day to day work to ensure I spot snags before the students do.
Once I happy with the microcosm I've created, it's a matter of syncing /Users on the old and new servers with rsync and telling DeployStudio that the hundred or so clients that are currently running 10.6.8 and are binding to 10.6.8 servers need to be re-imaged with the workflow that client 2 is currently using. (Actually I'll probably do one client per subnet first before hitting the 'Make it so!' switch.)
The most laborious part of the migration for me has been recasting MCX preferences set with Workgroup Manager as 'profiles'. I have never been happy with automated migration for servers. Setting up a server is not particularly difficult and you end up with a clean and documented installation that you understand fully that uses current methods and no legacy settings or obsolete hacks.
I've no idea whether this is the most efficient or best method, but it feels safe to me; even after deployment, until I shutdown my beloved Xserves for the last time I'll be able to roll the whole system back to 10.6.8 within a couple of hours if something goes wrong.
