Report "slideshow"

Hi,
We're looking for a way to display KPIs/charts on a wall mounted monitor. The data we want to show is in Excel reports. The goal is to rotate worksheets (or worksheet snapshots) on a short time basis (seconds) and to refresh the worksheet's data on a long
time basis (hours). What is the easiest way to accomplish this (by means of Power BI maybe)?
There is an assumption this can be accomplished with Picture Library Slideshow Web Part for Sharepoint Online. But we are not sure how to populate related Picture Library with updated worksheet shapshots on a time basis.
Thank you,
Andrey

Hi Andrey,
Using power bi scheduled refresh you can take care of the refresh of the workbook data (as long as your data source is a supported one). Currently Power BI will allow daily refreshes.
As far as the "slideshow", I am not aware of an out of the box control for that:
One option can be to create an SPO page, which will present Excel services control showing the workbook, focused on a given sheet (you do that by adding the parameters action=embedview and ActiveCell=TheSheetYouWantToPresent
Via embedded javascript you can manipulate that link (say in iFrame). Instructions how to do that can be found
here
If the refresh is too often you may run into throttling problems, so it might be a better idea to load all the worksheets at first, and just play with visibility.

Ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012 place moving graphics in report while it is executing

In a new ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012 report application, I want to add some graphics to
the report(s). I know that you can embedded a graphic in the ssrs report. However I would like to be able to do one or more of the items I am listing below:
1. In one or two spots, I would like to have the pictures change. The picture would display for 5 to 60 seconds and then a new graphic would show up.
2. I would like the possibility of one graphic being displayed while the entire ssrs report is executing. The next time the report is executing, a new graphic would be displayed.
3. I would like a 'slideshow' of graphics being displayed. The slideshow would be dsiplayed in in the same sequence.
4. I would like to obtain the graphics from an open show (free) location for a non profit public school system.
Thus can you tell me if any of the options I listed above are possibly? If so, can you tell me what option I can embed in a report and how to accomplish the goal in the ssrs report?
Also if you have any other ideas about graphics in the report, can you tell me what thse option(s) are and how would I accomplish this goal?

Hi wendy,
In Reporting Services, if we want to only display one graphic in some time, and display other graphics in other times in a report. So that the all graphics are alternatively displayed in the report. In this scenario, we can set the AutoRefresh property of
the report to x number of seconds for the changes to occur, then set the visibility property of graphics based on AutoRefresh length we have set. For more details, please see the steps below:
Set the AutoRefresh property of the report to 15 seconds (supposing there are 4 graphics in the report (60/4=15)).
Insert all graphics in the report.
Use the following expressions to control the visibility of graphics.
Graphic 1:=IIf(Second(Now()) < 15, False, True) the first graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the first 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will be hidden.
Graphic 2:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 15 AND Second(Now()) < 30, False, True) the second graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the second 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will
be hidden.
Graphic 3:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 30 AND Second(Now()) < 45, False, True) the third graphic will will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the third 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will
be hidden.
Graphic 4:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 45, False, True) the fourth graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the fourth 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will be hidden.
Besides, we cannot display the image with dynamic form by using External Image Option, it will be replaced with static form. So if we want to show slideshow in the report, we can also refer to the following thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/62b0317b-1458-4d91-9fdd-00c4bbe791f7/ssrs-report-slideshow-on-autorefrsh?forum=sqlreportingservices

Completing a slideshow and reporting the result

Hi all
I have a imported my ppt slideshow, added the narration etc.,
but I want a way to stop the users from jumping or moving the
slidebar straight to the end of the show. And at the sametime when
they have completed viewing all the slides, captivate has to report
back that they have viewed it all. We have an LMS here.
Thanks for the advice.
Drew

Welcome to our community, Drew
To prevent users from proceeding, choose not to include the
playback control. (Project > Skin > Playback Control) If you
choose to do that, you would also probably want to remove the
bottom border. (Project > Skin > Border)
For the reporting, insert a Button object and configure it to
report back to the LMS.
Cheers... Rick

Has anyone reported the Slideshow clipping bug?

When I last posted this, I was told I must be doing something wrong. So, assuming I didn't quite understand what I was doing, I started over with some fres graphical images. Here's what I discovered:
When in Slideshow mode, Apple TV consistently, regardless of mode (720p, 1080i) will clip 36 pixels off the top AND 36 pixels of the bottom of any image it displays.
When parading by images, when you it is displaying the contents of a photo album, all appear 100% fine. When you select the "slide the images up in a layered display" they are all displayed 100%.
With the Ken Burns effect on OR off, Apple TV seems to reserving 72 pixels for possible photo/image sliding. Seems like a bug that if I turn off the Burns effect, it still reserves those 76 pixels.
I did extensive testing with Photoshop drawings as I could not figure out what was going on. It is extremely difficult to notice with a photo, unless you have a head shot, where you can see the top of a head (or some other image) right near the top of the photo. Tell me it's not clipped in slideshow view.

Winston,
+If you check carefully you will notice that your movies do exactly the same thing on the tv, it isn't just something that affects photos or the tv+
Thanks for the suggestion. I take it, then, that in order to prove it is overscan I have to make a movie that will have measurable edges, bands of color, each (say) 8 pixels hight? And then create a movie in iMovieHD? And then play it on the AppleTV only to see, what? The clipping of 72 pixels due to overscan? It's possible... a lot of work, but worth it to know where the source of the clipping comes from.
The images I am using are not 6:4 photos, but are (typically much less than) 1280 wide and (exactly) 720 high. I already explained that I was using photoshop to create images that were 720 pixels high, each having a 40 pixel border of black on the top and the bottom. The width is inconsequential, as for these images, clipping the width is not important. I mentioned that all photographs are also clipped but, since most people use the Photo feature on appletv to view snapshots, they don't miss the content.
All of my images are cropped to 16:9; you crop yours using iPhoto, I create them in Photoshop. If I have time this weekend, I will test your overscan theory. If that's the case, I'll let you know, and then see if there are any adjustments for overscan on my set.
FYI, while overscan does indeed exist, almost all examples in the Wikipedia refer to horizontal overscan, resulting in horizontal, not vertical, clipping. You are correct in that it still exists. This has been a real learning experience for me. I had assumed that digital = "exact."
Live and learn.

Indesign CC BUG REPORT: Vector option not working in slideshow overlay panel

Trying to set an object state to display in vector mode in Indesign CC. But when I select it in the pull down of the overlay slideshow panel, it doesn't stick (and sometimes crashes Indesign CC). Anyone else having this problem?

that didn't work. I'm still having the problem. However I am able to overcome it by selecting a state then switching to whole object state selection, and then setting it to vector that way. but it's still sketchy at best.
I have now found out that if I select it a second time straight away, it works. but on first time it still doesn't set it

IPhoto Slideshow unable to EXPORT to IDVD reports as error.

when exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" error will not export files" It is a new mac with 2gb extra memory. I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc. Help, this is a student''s work and would love to help them burn the dvd slideshow.

Patricia:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If there's another account on that Mac log into it and see if you can get iPhoto to export to iDVD. You may need to create a temp library there, import a few photos, etc.. If it does export successfully there may be some preference file in the primary account that is the culprit, other than iPhoto's. Here's how to check it out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.
2Ghz MacBook, White Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Is it possible to add Attachments or Attachments link in Discoverer Report?

Hi,
I am trying to create a discoverer report , in my report i need to view the attachments from FND_LOBS table.
Please guide me how it will be possible .
Thanks in Advance,
Priyanka

You can create a text slide to add to the slideshow. Creat the slide in any text app you'd like or Pages and then convert that page to a PDF. To do so with Lion you'll need to go to Toad's Cellar and download the two files Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow and Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow, and put them in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.
Then in the application that you're using to create the text slide do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Safe PDF to iPHoto. The 200 dpi version is sufficient for slideshows. The 300 dpi version is for items to be used in iPhoto books.

Are you seeing a colour shift in 720p and 1080p h.264 slideshow exports?

When I export video from Lightroom 3 (or 3.2), I see that 720p and 1080p output can be very different in colour from other resolutions. It's as if my display profile were being ignored when playing back those particular resolutions.
Playback client: Apple's QuickTime Player X on Mac OS X 10.6.4. If I use VLC or QuickTime Player 7, colour is consistent across all export resolutions but is consistently wrong compared with the original photographs. (Again, it's as if the ICC display profile is being ignored.)
Display profile: my display is profiled and the profile is an ICC v4 file but I can reproduce the issue with some v2 profiles, as well.
AVC vs h.264
One oddity (that might be a peculiarity of QuickTime Player) is that when I view the 720p and 1080p movies, and ask for information about codecs (command-i), QuickTime Player X tells me that these two movies use AVC encoding. For all the other sizes, it says claims h.264. My understanding is that these two are effectively the same thing; on the other hand, it's curious that the two sizes showing different colour from the rest are identified differently. And QuickTime Player 7 claims AVC for all resolutions and always gets the colour wrong.
Is this just a QuickTime Player X bug? It gets colour right for all resolutions except 720p and 1080p, and provides a clue by saying the movie uses the AVC codec? Or is this an encoding issue?
Other sizes are fine
Exporting and playing back any other h.264 movie size, from 320 pixels right up to 960 pixels, provides perfectly acceptable colour in QuickTime Player X .There's a slight shift compared with the originals but nothing dramatic, and it's consistent across different sizes.
Any thoughts? Can you reproduce the problem?
I've tested this on a bunch of different Macs but they're all running 10.6.4. Can anyone see this problem? Would anyone like to test on Windows and report back? The results seem to vary wildly depending on your display profile and how far it is from a canned profile so if you really want to be sure of seeing the differences, switch your display to "Wide Gamut RGB" for the playback test, then compare the 720p/1080p files with the rest, including the sRGB reference.
Would anyone like to tell me I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something blindingly obvious? I won't be upset.
I was just about to post a note on the blog but thought I'd better post something here first. I'll probably ask readers to provide feedback here rather than on the site. I get the feeling that this issue won't be a big deal for most people.
Some examples for download
I have a zipped collection of single-image slideshows generated by Lightroom at each available resolution, together with a 960-pixel JPEG (sRGB) of that same image to act as a reference. You can download it here (5.9MB). For the moment, you'll probably have to ignore the URL that you see in the slideshows and in the Read Me file—it points to the blog post that I was preparing but which I haven't yet published. I'll do that next so anyone reading the blog will come here and post.
Thanks in advance, and apologies if I'm being dumb about something.
Update
I've added a 720x480 file that shows the same problem and updated the URLs shown in the movies and the Read Me file.

Bahi,
just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
Next is Snow Leopard:
Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.

Airplay does not work with slideshows and music - get the slides but no music with iPad Air2 and ios 8.1.22

iPad Air 2 with celluar with ios8.1.2 will not airplay with apple tv slideshows with music. I see the slides on the TV but do not hear the music. This works on the iphone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 and with my other iPad which is on iOS7.
This problem was reported on Nov 21, 2014 and other people had reported it prior to me.
When will this be fixed by Apple - it worked in the past and does not work now.
Should i return my iPad Air 2 and get my money back?

Problem seems to be resolved. Should have thought of it myself ;-) thanks so far!

Extremely Urgent - Excel reports in Oracle9i

I need to output several of my existing reports PDF reports to MS Excel. The excel report must look close to the PDF output. How can I accomplish this ? We currently use reports 6i but the 'delimited' option and the 'delimiteddata' (data model driven) will not work for me as the report does not look anything like I want.
I believe reports 9i has better capabilities of outputting to excel. I came across this web page:
http://technet.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Switching to a different tool is not an option. I have to use Oracle Reports 6i or 9i.
but there is not enough information in the slide show to help me. My reports are quite complex with several levels of grouping. I have several place holder, formula columns, summary columns. The totalling happens in various hierarchical levels.
Is there any documentation anywhere else other than this slideshow?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi Suresh,
You might want to try a workaround:
Suppose you have the paper layout defined in the report (Oracle Reports9i). Go to the web source, and change the contentType as
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
Also, in the jsp, inside the <rw:dataarea> tag, refer to the "outermost frame" of your paper layout, eg
<rw:dataArea id="yourDataArea">

<rw:include id="M_G_EMPLOYEE_ID_GRPFR" src="M_G_EMPLOYEE_ID_GRPFR">
</rw:include>
</rw:dataArea>
Deploy the jsp and access it in the browser. It should show the output in Excel.

Repeating images and replacing images in a slideshow

does anyone happen to know if I can select a set of images and basically copy them so that they are duplicated within a slideshow? I have a rotation of an object and I would like the slideshow to show it rotating twice whereas right now it only rotates once. Is there a way to copy the 60 images and paste them within the slideshow (even though they will have similar names) so that I can put them at the end of the first 60? I have a front cover image and a end image so I can't just loop it.
Is it preferable for me to import the images into Aperture again by copying them into the slideshow?
Also, is it possible to alternatively /write-over/ images in the slideshow? RIght now I have some images at the front that I would like to redo and I am wondering if I can redo them outside of Aperture and simply copy them into the slideshow and have the old ones written over or if it necessary to delete the old ones and import the new ones...
thanks for any help with this.
- Jon

Hi Gibbah,
You'd have to place the line with:
var imageLoader:Loader;
within the loop.
Now the same loader is told 5 times to load an image and to
report when done. Each time overwriting the previous commands.
With the variable declared inside the loop a new loader is
created each time.
In the eventhandler you'd have to point to:
Loader( e.target.loader ) instead of 'imageLoader'
apart from that i will aways trace 5 since it is declared
outside any function and thus reports the last value it was
assigned. This also means all images will end up at the same
position.

Iphoto '11 cannot show slideshow for files on NFS (Faces fails, too)

Hello, please help me see my pictures in slideshow! I get black pictures, but I have a unique error (google has zero hits on '"NULL CGImageSource" iphoto'). See details below. Thanks!
I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.1.5 (615)).
My preferences have UNCHECKED "copy items into the iPhoto Library". I want my pictures to remain on my linux (NFS) server so that other PCs can view them in their existing directory tree organization.
I import the files into iPhoto. I see them all. yay!
I also import files from my iPhone. These most likely reside on my local Mac drive rather than on the server. yay.
Signs that things are strange:
- I can use Faces to identify faces for those pictures which originated on my iPhone(now on local drive), but not those stored on the NFS location.
- When I use the slideshow, pictures which originated on my iPhone (now on local drive) appear, but not those stored on the NFS location. These are black screen. If I use a Theme such as Snapshots, then I see the white borders, and blackness inside. No, I didn't shoot *every* picture with the lens cap on.
- (THIS IS THE KEY ERROR MESSAGE FOR APPLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS TO INVESTIGATE!) Console is spewing errors such as:
7/27/11 11:49:50 PM    iPhoto[1541]    NULL CGImageSource for Path - /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG!!!
I find this odd, because IT'S THE WRONG PATH! The correct path only contains one "yoda" in the tree hierarchy, i.e.
/Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG rather than
/Volumes/network/yoda/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
I should note that from iPhoto, if I click "File->Reveal in Finder", the Finder launches to the correct location (one "yoda" in hierarchy). It opens on /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG and I see the file.
The mount itself looks like:
[hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
yoda:/home on /Volumes/network/yoda (nfs, nosuid)
And I'm not confused about the directory tree:
[hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% ls -la /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda
ls: /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda: No such file or directory
[hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% ls -lad /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown
drwxr-xr-x 122 rbrown messagebus 12288 Jul 26 00:42 /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown
[hansolo:~] rbrown% ls -la /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
-rw-r--r-- 1 rbrown messagebus 789848 Nov 10 2001 /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
Once I discovered this oddity, I thought maybe there was something about the way I browsed in iPhoto to find the pictures to import. I had gone through the "yoda" share on the left-side of the file selection box. So I deleted the pictures from iPhoto, and decided to use a symbolic link, which I had created in my home area on the Mac:
[hansolo:~] rbrown% ls -la /Users/rbrown/yoda
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rbrown staff 21 Feb 2 23:07 /Users/rbrown/yoda -> /Volumes/network/yoda
When I import photos into iPhoto using the "rbrown" item with the house icon (my Mac home directory) on the left-side of the file selection box, and then click through "yoda" and then through "rbrown" and "misc" etc. etc., to find the same files via the non-canonical path of /Users/rbrown/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/, here's what happens:
- I have to highlight files, not the directory.
- If I hightlight the files, then they import okay into iPhoto, and appear on the main window
- The slideshow still doesn't work (black images)
- The Console error message changes(!) to:
7/27/11 11:54:03 PM    iPhoto[1541]    NULL CGImageSource for Path - /Masters/IMG_0022.JPG!!!
I have no idea where "/Masters" originated. I have no such directory anywhere, to my knowledge.
Help! okthxbye.
          -rb

In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually. Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.
