Playing .mp3 directly from internet (http) possibl...

Dear all,
I created a correct M3U playlist, containing some MP3 files which are stored remotely (on a server). I put in URLs like:
http://www.test.com/123.mp3
http://www.test.com/456.mp3
Opening the playlist in Winamp works like a charm, all the files will play. However, opening the playlist on my N78 will result in a "Error, File damaged" message.
Is it possible at all to have the phone play MP3 stored remotely (using http, via the music player or RealPlayer, etc.?)
N78 promised to be good!

I don't know how this would work exactly in Firefox as I don't use it but in Safari you can right click on the MP3 link in the webpage and choose "Download Linked File" Or "Download Linked File As". In Camino you right click and choose " Download Link Target". As Camino and Firefox are related this second option may be the one you would see. You can download the file and use the normal Add to Library process to put the file into iTunes.

Play mp3s directly from Zen Micro on the

Hello everybody,
i just bought me a subnotebook with a small harddri've. So installed the Zen Micro software and my idea was that i simply hook the player up with USB and play the mp3s on the PC directly from the Player. So i don't have to copy them on my notebook harddisk.
Well, that was the idea, but when i hook the player up on USB, everything is ok and i see the player in the MediaSource Organizer. But when I click on my player and want to play a song it's played on my Zen Micro and not on my PC.
How can I fix this?
Would be very pleased if somebody can help me.
Greetings from Germany

Great ...
Is there no workaround or can I use a other tool or chance someting in the registry? My notebook only supports USB and i don't want to buy a USB2.0 PCMCIA card.
edit:
Idea: Is it possible to buy a USB 2.0 Hub and connect it to my USB port? Well the connection speed would be the slower one, but maybe i could trick the player and software. Or will the software or player notice it that in the USB"chain" is one apparat with supports only USBMessage Edited by drdentz on 0-8-2006 03:6 PM

Thank u Thompson For your kind reply. I got the problem solved. It was the the problem of Untrusted Applet as u said.Now i Have signed my applet and this appletplayer plays audio only from the server from where this applet comes and from the localmachine also.Now it is playing fine from the server.
But i have another problem , If i am asking that in the wrong forum plz forgive, I will ask it it in applet forum also.
Problem is , I have implemented a joystick with this player. The idea is to combine this player with a text editor so that user can hear audio at the same time he can type in the editor what he hear and he can rewind and forward using joystick(It is actually a footswitch controller) with his leg. This driver i got from Source forgenet works fine in my localmachine and localnetwork also.But i have to install .DLL file in every client machine. This should be avoided.When a client having no jmf and joystick in his machine tries to run this applet through the browser the required Joystick driver and jmf must be installed in client computer also.
By signing the applet and using ARCHIVE keyword i think jmf part will be ok but what about joystick driver.How i could install it in client machine.Playerapplet throws jjstck.dll not found exception
plz guide me

Can't play MP3's from Finder without Quick Look

Not really expecting any relevant answers but I might as well try I guess.
Ok, before:
__ .mp3
Center of this icon had a play button, and it was possible to minimize the window while the song played.
No need for Quick Look or a media player.
Now:
Quick look works.
But as I mentioned, I can't just click a play button in a finder window, as in here with my mouse hovered over the bottom icon.
I don't understand why the icons are different or how to fix this.

Ignore the first two, long story. Anyway:
THEN:
• Icon had a center Play button.
• Could play mp3's inside a miminize-able Finder window.
• No need for media player or Quick Look.
NOW:
Those luxuries are now gone.
Also, Get info shows both icons..
Mp3's play from here, but unlike Finder, there's no Quick Look to track songs when necessary.
• This is an external drive.
• Permissions are fine.
• I always browse in icon view.
• Opening with QuickTime / VLC does not help.
I just want to know a fix without a 3rd party or Terminal.
This happened before and went away.

How can I connect a PC with iTunes to an ipod and make iTunes play podcasts directly from the ipod without synching with iTunes on the PC ?

I predominently use my ipod to listen to my favourite podcasts. I download podcasts onto my Home PC using iTunes and then synch the podcasts onto my ipod again using iTunes. This all works fine.
Occassionally I want to connect my ipod to my Work PC via iTunes and listen to the podcasts by playing them through my Work PC external speakers. I DO NOT want iTunes to synch with my ipod, I just want to access the podcasts on the ipod and play them directly using the iTunes on my Work PC. I used to be able to do this, but have recently had a new replacement PC provided and now when I attach my ipod to the new PC iTunes wants to synchronize, and I can't see the podcasts which I know are on the ipod.
I'm sure that this is an easy one for you experts out there. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Arnold

Just to be clear - I have a new Work PC. My Home PC and ipod synching is all still working fine - it's just connecting the ipod to my new Work PC - and not being able to see and play the podcasts from the ipod - which is the problem that I am trying to overcome. Thx.

Wait a minute... play music directly from ipod?

I just received a replacement ipod mini and i just restored it. Heres the thing, i used to be able to play the music that i had on my ipod directly from the ipod (it didnt have to be in itunes) but now i cant do that, all the songs are the faded-light-gray color. Can i get it back to how it was before? Does it have something to do with the new version?
intel pentium 4 2.66, 1gb ram, 250gb wd, msi mb Windows XP

Could we get to the point at hand despite this users computer preferences...
Is there a way that I can play my iPod directly through my Computer because I have a few computers one that I use at work and one at home. Until recently I could play my iPod mini through iTunes. Now it only shows the songs that are in the Library.

Can i play music directly from time capsule?

can I play music accessed from time capsule so that I don't have to use up room on my computer?

If you want to move your itunes library to the TC we recommend you don't.. the TC is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.. it might appear vaguely like a NAS but it has zero ability to backup files.. and fails with surprising frequency. and is slow.. and what happens when you corrupt your itunes library.
If you just want to put individual files and play from there.. well neither is it a media player. Basically TC fails at anything and everything except being a TM backup target.

Is it possible to play video directly from my GoPro2 using the connector kit and memorycard?

Hi,
I have the new GoPro2 action cam and a Ipad2. I bought the connector kit for memorycard and USB. I was hoping that I just could take the memorycard and upload the videos to my Ipad2, but I was wrong. I don't work! I have been filming on the highest quality resolution. It is only showing as an grey object.
Can anybody help me with this, is it possible to play the movies?
Regard
Stanly

Playing mp3's from FTP server in Safari

Hey guys,
I've recently bought a new iphone and I have managed to connect to my popcorn hour c-200 in safari (by going to 'ftp://nmt:[email protected]')
It successfully loads the share list and I can move around all my files, it can display pictures,but safari seems to crash when I try play a mp3 or movie file.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just not up for it?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ross

Hi Dhanalakshmi,
Does classes and functions in MMAPI allow you to make connection using http?
I think you should you use Connection Framework to get file first on device and then can play it.
Try with this
// Create a HttpConnection
String url = "http://www.mysite.com/mysong.mp3"
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url)
// with connection open a byte array input stream
ByteArrayInputStream song = new ByteArrayInputStream (conn.openInputStream());I think ByteArrayInputStream can be used to get the stream of bytes from server.
then use
player = Manager.createPlayer(song);check and let me know...
Cheers,

How do I browse & play .mp3 files from a USB flash drive using Labview 8.0?

I'm a tester & want to test USB flash drives connected to PC.
I want to browse the file system & playback the audio files, .jpeg files etc in the USB drive. I've Labview 8.0. When I searched for some examples or VIs which can detect the USB flash drive, couldn't find any. So if you could point me in the right direction, I can find a solution to my problem.
Thanks.
Solved!

You probably won't find specific examples for this. A USB flash drive is mounted by the OS and appears as a new memory storage device to all software on the PC, including LabVIEW. You can certainly write a LabVIEW program to open files on the stick and play/run them but I would create a VI that wrote files to the stick and then read them back and checked them for bit-level errors. Keep in mind that your OS might be doing parity checking under the hood which would make your test rather meaningless.
BTW, testing memory by looking at pics or listening to MP3s would be useless of course. A human can't see or hear bit-level errors in a high bandwidth data stream.
Using LabVIEW: 7.1.1, 8.5.1 & 2013

Unable to print pages directly from internet explorer 9 script error 2126

HP photosmart wireless b109n-z
computer Packard Bell One Two L5861 64bit
I am unable after going to many forums where it seems to be quite a problem and trying different ways to try and rectify a error mesage
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Char 1
Error Unspecified erroCode 0
URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
do you wish to continue running scripts on this page?
yes no
I also have avio laptop which i have no problem with printing on the same printer
I have checked internet option advance settings and both have the same boxes ticked
i have ticked and unticked boxes reset internet unstalled and reinstalled printer
I can save most pages to documents and then print from there this depends on whats in the page
The only thing that seem to make any difference was to untick the internet option security enable protection mode which would ineffect leave my computer vulnerable to attacks which is not advisible
would be very pleased to hear if this can be resolved
many thanks

tejo11,
Script errors like this can happen with IE and while uncommon are not unheard of. With the print and scan doctor coming back fine we can move to troubleshooting the browser where the error originates. If you would like try using a different browser as a temporary workaround and use this microsoft guide for troubleshooting the script error you are getting: http://goo.gl/k7aTU
Best of Luck!

Playing Images Directly from Webserver

I'm re-designing our presentation look while at the same time trying to more narrowly target audiences with messaging. What I'd like to do is a streaming video box on one part of the screen with another box for still image assets and possibly one other box with other image assets. The design isn't my problem, though.
The issue is, with the video box in the presentation, I can no longer use the playlist function of the Digital Signs module, which means I have to add all the assets to the presentations manually, which can be quite time consuming with the number of presentations we have (26).
The idea I have is for each presentation to pull from a corresponding folder on a webserver, with the contents of that folder displaying in sequence. Ideally this would act in the same way as the playlist function, allowing us to update the list by adding and removing files using a quick copy/paste. I am aware that it would be possible to add everything to a Flash file and play that out, but I would then have to rely on the individual campuses to add my content to their files, and I wouldn't be able to monitor their images at a glance without having to wait for the file to play out.
We are already using the server to host the files and ACNS to manage the bandwidth. I guess what I need is some kind of script that will play the contents of the folder when it is accessed by the DMP, but without having to name each file in the script, because they will be changing often.
We are on version 5.3 with 4400G endpoints. I have looked into a CMS like AppSpace, but we don't currently have the budget to purchase one, so I am looking for a temporary solution while waiting for the next budget cycle.

I think the confusion comes from having two kinds of playlists in different modules. DMD playlists can hold Digital Signs (DS) playlists. If there is more than one DMD playlist, though, only one can use DS playlists. All the others must have individual assets assigned to them, as only one DMD playlist can display video, and since DS playlists *could* have video assets in them, DMD treats them as video and restricts their use in non-video playlists.
What I want to do is have a video, such as CNN, etc., on-screen while displaying messaging with still images. As you know this requires at least 2 playlists; one for the video and the other for stills. I will also be limiting the still playlist to 10 minutes of content, so your suggestion could work, except it becomes more complicated when I want an image in heavier rotation, or when I don't have enough images to fill 10 minutes. DMD playlists also don't have the Duplicate function of DS playlists, so adding more instances of an asset is tedious.
Per your example, it might look like this:
Campus-01
Campus-02
Campus-03
System-01
Campus-04
Campus-05
Campus-06
System-02
We have dated content that doesn't always have something ready to replace it when it expires, but limiting the time available may create some queues. I'd still worry about empty "containers" and managing that inventory. Keeping that organized could still be problematic. Addtionally everyone is wearing multiple hats, and more "creative" types, so I'd like to find a solution that allows them to simplify their workload, instead of adding to it more than I have to.
It may not be "supported," but I was thinking of something where I could point to a URL and that link would show the images. AppSpace, from the demo, seems like what we need to do what we want, but we can't afford it, currently.
