Hi,
Has anyone come accross this before.
I've transfered some music files onto my phone, When i try to play certain tracks, it won't play them & will skip to the next track it can play even though the file is successfully transmitted to the handset.
Anyone experianced this before or know what can be done about it?
Many thanks

Hello darksyde999r,

Buzzing sound when playing media file on HDMI

Since about a week or so now all the media files I play I hear this buzzing sound every so often. I test this out with .avi file and .mp3 and I hear the same buzz. Does anyone know what could it be? It used to work fine before, I'm not sure what changed.

Dah,
Thanks for the suggestion, that might have did it. I just moved the TV to a different surge protector and it seems to be good for now. Gonna leave it like this for a while and see if the buzzing return or not.
Thanks

Playing Media File

I want to be able to write to a media file and also play the media file at the same time while it is being written to. I tried it but it gave me an error.
Please how do i go about that

I am looking into this as well.
there are two approaches that I am considering:
I presume you want to read from the beginning of the file when it is about 10 mins long, but you will be recording for about an hour, as an example.
Close off the file and create a new one when you start playing..
or - a trickier solution....
Clone the datasource somehow so that there is a delay-buffer, allowing you to start playing from the beginning on the clone.
I am goning to attempt the latter first, as it seems more adventurous, but to be honest, under JMF, I don't think that it can be done.

Playing media files from Time Capsule hard drive

Hello folks,
I am using my 3TB Time Capsule to host all of my video files, most of which are MKV files. I also have an external hard drive connected to the USB port on Time Capsule and there are few video files on it as well.
I am using Time Capsule as a router sitting between the cable modem (WAN) and my locan network (LAN). I have an Argosy HV355T digital media player hooked up to my home theater and TV via HDMI. It is connected to Time Capsule via Ethernet.
On Argosy media player, I am able to connect to Time Capsule (login is successful) but I can neither see the hard drives nor their contents.
When I connect the external hard drive to the USB port on Argosy, the hard drive is recognized and files from it can be read and played. Thus I have ruled out the possibility of Argosy being unable to read Mac formats.
I try to use uPnP on Argosy to connect as uPnP client to Time Capsule, but nothing happens. I thought uPnP is turned ON by default on Time Capsule.
Why am I not able to see the Time Capsule hard drive from my media player?
What am I missing in my setup?
Do I need to install a media server device to read files from hard drives and storage, and stream to media player (Argosy)?
How are you folks using Time Capsule to play video from its hard drive on to TV?
Thanks.

The TC has no upnp.. no Apple device does.. Apple refused to join and went off in a huff, sat in the corner and created their own.. NAT-PMP.. which as you can imagine.. doesn't work with anything else but Apple stuff.
So first issue.. no upnp but that isn't a biggie.
SMB file protocol which the rest of the world uses.. has rules which Apple also breaks.
Make sure your TC is setup with all short names. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
On the file sharing page of the airport utility.. (you may need to use 5.6 from Mac or Windows), ensure that you set a workgroup.. generally now WORKGROUP. And make sure you turn on the guest account to full read and write permissions.
It would be good to ensure a normal windows computer can access the TC..
In windows explorer type in the address bar
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where you replace with actual name or IP).
I do not know the Argosy player but I will look it up.
My hacked ATV1 can see and play files from the TC. That is running XMBC of course.

"An Error has occurred attempting to play media "File Name"

So recently I got a new phone, my first phone! Proud and all, I just recently purchased a media card to start storing and listening to music.
I am now unable to play any sort of media, sound or ringtone. The media card seems to not have anything to do with it. I also don't think it is file format, because videos that I can take with my phone are not able to be viewed.
I have a BB 8520. thanks for your help!
Edit: v5.0.0.900 (Bundle 1626, Platform 5.2.0.096
Carrier: Rogers
The phone is roughly a week old

Have you downloaded any apps?
My son had this problem last week and it turned out he had download an app(rok tv) that was continuosly buffering as it couldnt load and this stopped the video or music being able to play..I conected it to my laptop removed the app rebooted and now it works fine..Maybe worth checking.

I cant hear sound when a sms is coming or when playing media files.

When i plug in earphones i can hear sound and when a call comes in the sound works.
Anyone who know anything that can help.

Same problem started this morning for me. All sounds seem to work through headphones. The only tone that seems to come through the iPhone4s speaker is for the "ringtone". Music plays through the headphone, but not speaker.
The side switch is up. I've synced to iTunes. Settings haven't been changed recently, and appear to be correct. I've held the home and power buttons (think that's their names) until the white apple showed.

Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3?

Hi All
Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3? I got an exception that 'Decoder is not available' when I played m4a file on windows xp sp3(it didn't work on vista either), but it works fine on windows 7 , so I guess Javafx media player needs some system dependencies or resources when it plays media files, do you have any suggestions for this ?

To allow playback on Windows XP, you need to install the correct software in addition to JavaFX.
Once the system has been upgraded to meet the minimum requirements for playback of a particular type of video encoding, then playback should work fine.
See the JavaFX Media portion of the JavaFX 2.2 System Requirements:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/system_requirements_2-2/jfxpub-system_requirements_2-2.htm
Note, m4a is just a container file and data streams inside the container format need to match a supported JavaFX format for playback to work:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html
Some approaches you could take:
- additionally encode the media in VP6 format and fallback to VP6 playback if H.264 playback fails.
- use a 3rd party player like VLC.
- don't bother supporting Windows XP video playback.
- direct a browser to a divx install page if playback fails (http://www.divx.com/).

How can I browse my network and play my media files?

I installed a free file explorer on my Android tablet. I can easily browse my network shares and access all my media content. I can play my movies, music, TVshows, anything by just browsing to the folder and selecting the file to play. It took me 5 minutes to figure this out on my Android tablet. I've been trying to do this for about 3 hours on my new ipad 3. I have yet to even find a file browser type app. Please don't tell me there is no way you can do this with an ipad. There is no way to play all your multi-media files with my very expensive ipad. I have so much media content I would love to access via my ipad, but I can't. Has Apple done this on purpose to lock down their devices so users can't do anything flexible? This is a HUGE difference between Android / iOS.
Also, I'm able to visit music.google.com on my Android to play my music. Besides iTunes, does Apple have a way the user can access a simple website and play their music files? I'm finding all this very troublesome and such a limited factor with Ipad. Please help!
If it ends up that Apple's brand new ipad can't easily browse a network and play media files then I'm going to return the two of them I bought. Just not a capable device if it can't do something so trivial.
Thanks.

I'm still trying to find a way to do this simple task. Everyone has home networks now and not able to simply browse to a folder where you keep your video/music files is quite a problem with such a brand new, ultimate tablet. I can even do this with my Android phone I have. I have terabytes worth of music and movies and if I can't watch them with this ipad tablet then I for sure will return this tablet and buy Android from now on. I'm now finding out how locked down Apple products really are and how limited UNLESS you BUY an app or only go through an Apple type portal. I wonder if people know that you can't play your media you have saved at home with an ipad.

6085 - Media File Playing

My 6085 has been playing media files with no problems but seems to have a problem playing a .wav file I have recently had sent to me. Is there a maximum file size it can play of this type?
Plays MP3 and smaller .wav no problem but as this file appears bigger than others just wondered if this may be a problem. If not could someone maybe suggest what the problem might be - are there different types of .wav files for example?
Thanks in advance for any response.

I am looking into this as well.

My N73 can't play MP4 file

Hi,
I'm using N73 now,just bought it. When I tried to play a MP4 file by using RealOne, it promted "unable to play media file". However, when I move the memory card to another N73, it played well.
My version is V 2.06.... I know there is higher version V 3.0... but I dont think it must be upgraded to play MP4 file.
Can any one help me please.
Thx alot

The latest n73 firmware supports the H.264/AVC codec and the DivX codec... I use this codec to convert my movies without problems...
Btw, the other 2 n73 phones that you used to play the video must have a new firmware, yours is too old!!
You mean the latest FW lets N73 to play DIVX video files without installing any 3rd party software like smartmovie?

Functionality for seeking media file(audio/video) files

Hi
In my project my web-application initializes Quick Time media player
for playing media files(audio/video).
My problem is when I drag my task bar on the media player my application could not play from that point.From the point I drag the bar my media player in web-application has to play from that point.
How can I write code in servlet for SEEKING FUNCTIONALITY.
Thank U

If you uncheck a movie by its name it won't get listed on the tv. So there isn't actually any need to give the two versions of the same movie a different name.
So for the movie encoded for tv, check its name and it will appear on the tv.
For the movie encoded for ipod, uncheck its name so it won't appear on the tv and add it to a playlist for syncing with your ipod.
