[SOLVED] Media player that can read/write ratings to file

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there were any suggestions for a media player besides Banshee that read/write song ratings to the music file itself?

After quite a search I've finally found something! It's called Guayadeque and has exceeded my expectations. It automatically pulled in the ratings and playcount that were embedded through Banshee, and even has a built in way to download and embed coverart. I would highly recommend checking it out if anyone is looking for something that is literally 10% the size of Banshee!

Can't install any media player - pacman can't find all the files

I'm quite new to Linux. At the moment I can't view any videos or listen to music.
I tried installing mplayer using pacman - several files downloaded successfully, I watched the progress bars... but others couldn't be found. When I try again using a different mirror, from the output you can see that pacman requests 36 installation files for mplayer but it can't locate 14 of them.
I've tried three mirrors in the UK and one in Belgium. I get a similar problem trying to install VLC. Pacman has never failed me before, although admittedly last time I used him was to download firefox in December 2009.
This is what I get if I try again to install mplayer now:
pacman -S mplayer

Confusingly, if I now try to clean up the mess and remove the mplayer files that I did download, I get:

Checking on the mirrors manually, I see that the package versions are incorrect. For example, http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ffmpeg/ has ffmpeg at version 23792-1 but pacman is looking for 23619-1.
Any ideas?
EDIT: this is an install from this morning, from the 2010.05 core disk. Post install, I ran pacman -Syu and then installed some packages without issue.

How to read/write a binary file from/to a table with BLOB column

I have create a table with a column of data type BLOB.
I can read/write an IMAGE file from/to the column of the table using:
READ_IMAGE_FILE
WRITE_IMAGE_FILE
How can I do the same for other binary files, e.g. aaaa.zip?

There is a package procedure dbms_lob.readblobfromfile to read BLOB's from file.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#sthref3583
To write a BLOB to file you can use a Java procedure (pre Oracle 9i R2) or utl_file.put_raw (there is no dbms_lob.writelobtofile).

Windows media Player suddenly can't read some of my MP3, and only with one user account !!!

Hi!
here is my problem:
I have a lot of MP3 in my W7 personnal computer at home. I read MP3 everyday with WMP and all was working fine, until some days ago. Some of my MP3 can't be read by WMP. I've looked at their properties, but there is nothing wrong, compared to others
MP3 that I can read.
The "unreadable" files are correctly read by VLC. So they are not corrupted.
When I swtich to an other user, the same MP3 are read correctly with WMP. (Both usersd are admins)
My MP3 are présents on two computers at home. When I connect from my second computer with a
\\computername\c$, I can read these files. So the files are definitivly OK. But when I connect from my first computer to the second one, I can't read the MPS that have the same name! it's absolutely strange!
I've tried to uninstall WMP, to delete all files related to WMP in my Appdata folder, I have even tried the FixIt from Microsoft, but any of these steps were helpful.
I've copied the "unreadable" files from the Music folder to my desktop, allways the same issue.
I've disabled my Antivirus, but without any results. I've tried the system restore, idem.
My computer is running W7 32 bits, SP1, all updates installed regularly.
Please help me, I want to understand what has happened!!! :)

Hi Yolanda,
the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
Of course the "help" is totally useless....
I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
(in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
To put it in a nutshell:
on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
\\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;)

[SOLVED]trying to mount disk so all users can read write

I'm trying to mount my hard drive to /mnt/2TB automatically at startup. My /etc/fstab looks like this...
/dev/sda2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/2TB ntfs auto,exec,rw,users,uid=1000 0 0
ls / shows...
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Jun 30 20:09 mnt
ls /mnt shows...
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 20 21:21 2TB
When I restart the disk mounts fine but I cannot write anything to disk. I want to mount this disk so that anyone can read, write, and execute on it. I specified these options in my fstab. What options am I missing?
EDIT:
I figured it out. I had to install ntfs-3g. Once I did that I changed my fstab to this...
/dev/sda2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/2TB ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0
Then I changed /mnt permissions to ...
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 30 20:09 mnt
Then I changed /mnt/2TB permissions to...
drwxrwxrwx 1 necbot users 4096 Jun 20 21:21 2TB
Works great!

I ran across this in the ntfs-3g manual which might be of some interest. It appears that adding "permissions" to the mount options for ntfs-3g might accomplish roughly what you want, but you may have to perform some work to get it operational. Likewise, the Windows ACL may interfere and a quick glance seems to me to suggest that you might have to tweak things from Windows to get the permissions working well.
I personally have all of my Windows partitions mounted under /windows, but I can see why that isn't an ideal solution if you're dabbling in Arch or have things you want to more easily share in one direction.
Hope this helps somewhat even though you've already marked the topic as solved.

I'm fed up with iTunes, I need a media player that won't erase my music!

iTunes has erased all my music twice now (I never clicked a button, I did nothing at all out of the ordinary, no messages popped up, nothing. When I e-mailed the problem, they sent me some bullcrap e-mail back stating that all the music that I bought from them will be returned. No reason, no explanation, just an automatic message trying to goad me into buying overpriced crap music from iTunes) I'm sick of it, I'm fed up. When I plugged in my iPod my computer froze so I had to restart it, I plugged it in again and turned off automatic updates. Turns out that iTunes doesn't know what that means so it updates my iPod anyways, go figure. So all my songs on my iPod are gone as well. It's really starting to make a CD player look good now.
So my question is, before I decide to start cussing out some of the people at iTunes, is there another media player that I can download (for free, preferably) that will update my iPod?

okay, where or how else can you get music files on and off your ipod? cause there has got to be a better way to do this? i already subcribe to pay sites for my downloads and i am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to import files into folders or playlists on itunes to get them on my kids nanos and my shuffle. i don't want to have to buy songs from the itunes store at 99 cents apiece when i have a yearly subscribtion already with another service, not to mention a large library of files already on my hard drive. you should not be limited to using strictly apple downloads. i mean for what we are paying for the players themselves compared to other mp3 players they should be compatible with some other software for transferring songs. am i off base here??

Is ther a BAPI or RFC that can read any table ?

If I use RFC to read these tables, I will write a lot of codes. It may be a large work.

I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

Wiki "Read Only" users can read & write

I am looking to use the built in Wiki software on our Snow Leopard mac mini server. The wiki is meant to be private with one user able to read and write and another account that can read only. After selecting "read only" the user can still read & write. The read only account is not an administrator so I am not sure why they are not read only, could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that users with read only permissions can't see custom Master Page and Managed Metadata Navigation SharePoint 2013.
I suggest to customize the ClientObject model code to retrieve info with elevated privileges and then re-deployed the master page.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

If it doesn’t work, please check more information about the custom Master Page, such as whether it contain content like web parts that with permission limited, or whether you have any changes
to the read permission group.
In addition, please check the SharePoint ULS log to find more information, , the ULS log file is in the location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

MP3 Player that can play one track, and than stops.

Hi all,
For an art project, I am looking for a mp3 player that can playback in "single track play" mode.
Meaning that it will automatically stop/pause?after playing one track, and remain paused until I press "play" to start playback of?the next song?(I don't want to have to press "pause" or "stop" after each song is played).
Are there currently any mp3 players by Creative Labs?that have this "single track play" capability?
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Best regards,
Eibert Draisma.

They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

My company web site said I don't have windows media player or Acrobat Reader. If I use IE It lets me in. What do I do?

My company web site said I don't have windows mediA player or Acrobat Reader. If I go in with IE I don't have any problems. What do I do?

There is a very good chance you are experiencing a problem with having both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.
You need to remove one and repair (or possibly reinstall) the other. It isn't recommended or supported to have both.

Develop a program that can read pdf document in the UClinux OS?

hello,
I'm a programmer in a company which is doing embed development ,i want to develop a program that can read pdf document in the UClinux OS?
Can some one give me some ideas?
can some body give me some information?
My email is [email protected]
thank you!!!

I would strongly recommend using one of the libraries that are available (Google). If you don't want to pay the (modest) costs of a commercial license, there are several open source projects with licenses that allow you to use them in commercial products.
