Streaming .wma files throug binary gateway

A customer of mine is asking about any issues that they might run into or any best practices around streaming .wma files through the portal and thus the gateway. They are looking to stream traffic cams from an outside source to their intranet.

Streaming wma file and my new imac

I just got a new imac and was on the net last night going into some sights and tried to watch streaming vidoe and it will not play. I have downloaded the Flip4Mac and still nothing. Can I set Real Player to automatically play file off the internet rather than them being saved on my desktop then playing them? May seem like silly questions but i'm so used to PC's I'm wondering if I made the right choice.
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions!
If your installation of Flip4Mac was completed, it now has its own panel in System Preferences. Open and verify that you have the plug-in enabled, and check the other settings to see that you have most of them checked as well.

Can't access WMA files using flip4mac plug-in

I'm a new mac user who just bought a macbook this past weekend. I realize that the below is perhaps a microsoft software issue, and not an apple issue (the apple care service people said as much and dismissed me), but the microsoft forums provide no solutions to my issue.
I've downloaded the newest flip4mac (version 2.1) which folks here here suggested, windows media player 9 (which doesn't seem to do anything other than open a blank window with a play and stop button bar at the bottom), and tried running both safari and firefox (with and without "rosetta"), yet some WMA files still won't run.
Most vexing to me is my inability to listen to game day audio from www.mlb.com. The audio player on the website appears but there's no sound and no playback bar (with the play and stop button, streaming time elapsed, etc.). This is similar to other websites. For example, on fan590.com, if I want to "listen live" I get the separate player box, and their load up advertisement plays flawlessly, but the actual streaming audio is blank, without any playback bar.
Before downloading flip4mac, I got a message (like a missing puzzle piece on firefox) telling me I needed a plug-in, but neither browser could detect which one I needed. Now, having installed flip4mac, I no longer get that message, the missing puzzle piece is filled in, but no playback bar.
This is so frustrating because it appears many others have installed flip4mac and report no problems at all, yet this issue persists for me. Is there a certain setting I'm not selecting? It is something basic I'm not doing as a function of me being a mac novice? Or am I doomed never to have access most WMA content from my macbook?

I use flip4mac also and when I use safari to view WMA files, flip4mac is automatically launched.
Here is the forum for flip4mac:

Good luck!

Seems it is an upstream problem - see http://bugs.xmms2.xmms.se/view.php?id=2332
Think I will wait until they get it fixed.

Using WMA files with Mac OS 9

I've come across a bunch of WMA format files. I tried to open them with every tool I have (lots). But none would.
What app do you suggest for opening/converting WMA files?
Gary

I actually had a copy of Windows Media Player on my computer. So I gave it a try.
It let me select a WMA file from its "Open File" dialog box but when I selected the WMA file, I got an error saying
"The channel does not support the stream format"
and would not proceed.
So I guess I'm still looking.

Store file in binary form in the hard disk- how?

How can i store a file in binary form in the hard disk?
Thanks

How can i store a file in binary form in the hard disk? Simply open a FileOutputStream and start writing bytes to that
file. Don't forget to close that stream when you're done with it.
kind regards,

DMA 2100 - Audio Quality problems when playing mp3 or wma files

I recently purchased a DMA 2100 - two weeks ago.
Plays my streamed DVDs (VOB files) along with streamed video off the internet wonderfully. I'm impressed that it actually seems to upscale my DVDs and the Audio quality is perfect.
But when I try to play a simple mp3 or wma file I experience pops, clicks and short dropouts during playback.
Obviously my network is more then sufficient to push DVDs across reliably it should be able to push mp3s/wma files. Network performance monitor shows me in the low end of HDTV capable and stable. MP3s and WMAs are stored on the same disk as my DVD VOB files hence I don't expect there is a problem with my media center PC serving them. (PIII 3.0GHz, 2.5GBs, 2TB RAID 5 SATA Array)/ I was experiencing some problems with playback on my PC but that was resolved by upgrading the drivers for my audio card SB Audigly 2
Any ideas?

Looking further into this I also notice that my Media Center PCs processor is running all out 70%-100% processor utilization when streaming the MP3s or WMA files.
Meanwhile when streaming DVDs the processor is at a rather lazy 10% or so.
Anyone, any ideas why when Streaming DVDs my audio would be perfect and processor idle.... but when streaming WMAs my processor is pegged and the audio pops and crackels as it plays?

Can not find WMA files in iTunes, for borrowing library books with Overdrive Media Console

I have borrowed audiobooks from the library, using iTunes and Overdrive Media Console for years. some months ago, I was suddenly unable to. thought it was my old computer, so bought a new one. took weeks to be able to get an upgrade from Windows, and when I was finally able to thought my troubles were over.
but, no, now the Overdrive Media says it can not connect to iTunes. someone at Overdrive said iTunes had to be the default player for WMA files, but I can not figure out how to make that happen, since there is nothing that looks like 'WMA files' anywhere on my computer. any advice? I can't afford to purchase audiobooks, and I really miss being able to borrow from the library. this new computer has Windows 8 OS

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

How do I convert an mp3 or WMA file to a m4a file?

I read on another forum that iTunes can convert mp3 and wma files to m4a format.
How do I do this?

That is correct.
By default if you load a .wma file into iTunes, it will AUTOMATICALLY convert it to another format first, since it needs to in order to play it. However, you can also convert any other file format that iTunes supports, assuming it can get loaded into iTunes.
To set what format you want to convert to, go EDIT->PREFERENCES. Click the IMPORT SETTINGS button and select which encoder you want (AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV are supported) and then select the bit rate if you are choosing a lossy format (AAC/MP3).
From there, any .wma files you load into iTunes (you can do this by going into iTunes and selecting FILE-> ADD FILE TO LIBRARY, or simply right clicking a .wma file and OPEN WITH iTunes) will convert to that format. ALSO, if you have any other files already in iTunes you wish to convert, select the file(s), and go to ADVANCED -> CREATE ___ VERSION (the blank being whatever you selected before) and it will convert for you.
Remember, converting a lower quality song to a higher quality format/bit rate won't "up-covert" any quality, the lowest quality you start with is the highest you can possibly get, but if you still prefer to have a certain file format or bit rate to compress to, this is the feature you'd use!
Let me know if you have any other questions!

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over. Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy. Thanks.

Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

How do I know if a file is binary or not?

Hi All,
I am writing a simple program to scan the pattern of some ASCII files at some directory.
However, I want to filter out all of the binary file. I wonder if there is any way to test if the file is binary or not.
(note: can't use the file extension 'cause they could have the extension of the txt but still are binary file)
Thank You.

In general, you can't reliably.
ASCII? My native language contains non-ASCII characters (8th bit set). I thank you not to consider my language "binary". There are buggy programs out there that do, and refuse to work correctly with my text files.
There are character set encodings that have "escape characters" for multi-byte values. E.g. UTF-8 encodes non-ASCII characters as multi-byte entities that look like "binary data" when viewed byte-by-byte.
The presence of NUL bytes might be a hint. Unless someone writes e.g. straight Unicode into a file; lots of NULs for ASCII text there.
If you insist on writing xenophobic software, look for 8th bit set and characters less than space (excluding tab). And damn the furriners, they should all use English anyway.

Nano Plus no longer plays any wma fil

I've had my Zen Nano Plus for over a year, and during that time it played both MP3 and WMA files with no problem. Now it won't play WMA files. I can transfer them to my player but it just skips those songs. This includes WMA files I downloaded from Limewire and from my CD collection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the WMA files are protected, they need to be transfered via Windows Media Player or Creative's software, otherwise the licenses won't transfer properly and the player won't play them. The Nano Plus does not support subscription music. I don't know anything about Limewire. The default on Windows Media Player is to create WMA files with protection. If you want to make WMA files from your CDs without protection, you need to change the setting in Windows Media Player.

How do i switch wma files from an external hard drive to mp3 on itunes?

how do i switch wma files from an external hard drive to mp3 on itunes?

Can you not just drag them from the external drive to a folder on your new computer?

I have an external hard drive with numerous WMA files that I would like to download to iTunes. How do I do this on my MAC?

I have an external hard drive with numerous WMA files that I would like to download to iTunes. How do I do this on my MAC?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
