Streaming .wmv files not working

When I go to stream .wmv file from the website I use to access school lectures, I get an error message from what looks like Flip4mac saying "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application". In an attempt to resolve this I reinstalled Flip4mac 2.2.3.7. This still did not work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is what I read from Flip-4-Mac web site. You need to install Quicktime 7 from your install disc for this to work. Then reinstall Flip-4-Mac again.
Repair Permissions and restart your computer.
JeffSp8, going to the finder and getting info...then choosing Quicktime won't force the browser to play the video. This only work for videos playing locally from the hard drive.

.wmv files not working

I installed Snoe Leopard last night and the only problem is that I can't open .wmv files unless I am in Quicktime itself. I cant open them in Finder.

I installed the new Beta version of Flip4Mac which is supposed to be compatible with Snow Leopard. It now takes much longer for the .wmv files to be fully processed. Instead of a separate "importing" progress bar, the bar shows up at the bottom of the Quicktime window and moves slowly, as if it were streaming. Also, a circular version of the progress bar shows up in the Preview Window of the Finder. Both are extremely slow compared to the way things worked in Leopard.

Link to local wmv file not working - is this possible?

I would like to launch a wmv file in the default application
(windows media player) from an AIR application. I tried just
linking to it but it doesnt do anything? Anyone know why? security
reason maybe? thanks in advance..

Hi,
Just linking to the file won't work. You'll have to call
navigateToURL with that file's path. This will load the file in the
default browser.
There's no other way to launch applications from AIR
1.0.

The mystery of streaming WMV files

I have downloaded WMV and it works on some sites for video streaming. The operative word here is "some".
Some sites the video opens in the page as intended, some others the file opens in a separate WMV window after a diolog box asking if I want to try it, then there are the other sites that either indicate a missing codec or say "WMV not detected"
The one I'm really interested in cracking is CNN.com. Many of the features there are video only, and I cannot get them to play on my MacBook. Can anybody? If so, mind telling me how?
If you go to cnn.com, you will see many articles with a small camera beside them. Those are the ones.
Thanks
Mike

Hi. I have an Intel iMac and I had the same issues with Safari and Camino. Firefox PPC worked on "some" sites as well. Yahoo's world cup videos didnt work....now that *** big time.
Work around? without the need of downloading anything you can see the videos on both safari and Camino, but they have to run under Rosetta.
To do this quit safari, open the finder, right click safari, get info and put a check mark on "open under rosetta."
that would make safari run a little slower (i have 2 gigs of ram so i dont really see a big difference) but you should be able to see wmv on safari.

HDS live streaming to Flash not working

Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.5 r4013
Windows 2008
Sources:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/live-multi-bitrate-video-http-flas h-ios.html
Live streaming a single or multi-bitrate video over HTTP to Flash does not work. I have followed the instructions on the 2 sources listed above repeatedly, but I can’t get live streaming over HTTP to Flash to work. Live streaming to iOS over HTTP works with no problems (single and multi-bitrate streams).
I have tried the troubleshooting steps from the following:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12efac195bd -8000.html
Troubleshoot live streaming (HTTP)
1.      Services window (Windows): Flash Media Server (FMS), Flash Media Administration Server, and FMSHttpd services are running. ✓
2.      Verified that the request URL is correct. ✓
3.      Configured ports:
a.      Configure Apache to use port 80. Open rootinstall/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor. Change the line Listen 8134 to Listen 80.
b.     Configure Flash Media Server not to use port 80. Open rootinstall/conf/fms.ini in a text editor. Remove 80 from the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT parameter so the parameter looks like the following: ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935 ✓
4.      Placed a crossdomain.xml file to the rootinstall/webroot directory. ✓
5.      In Flash Media Live Encoder, select the Encoding Options tab, choose Output from the Panel options menu, and verify the following:
a) The value of FMS URL is rtmp://fms-dns-or-ip/livepkgr. If you’re testing on the same server as Flash Media Server, you can use the value localhost for fms-dns-or-ip. ✓
b) For a single stream, the value of Stream is livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
c) For adaptive bitrate streaming, the value of Stream is livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
Flash Media Live Encoder uses this value to create unique stream names. To use another encoder, provide your own unique stream names, for example, livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent, livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent.
The encoder is showing all 3 streams being published and streaming.
6. Check Administration Console: the livepkgr application and the 3 streams are running. ✓
7. Check the logs for errors. Flash Media Server logs are located in the rootinstall/logs folder. The master.xx.log file and the core.xx.log file show startup failures. Apache logs are located in the rootinstall/Apache2.2/logs folder. X
a)   core00.log: these errors did not occur every time that I tried playing the live stream but these are the only relevant errors in the logs.
1. 7968 (w)2611179     Warning from libf4f.dll: [Utils] [livestream2] Discarded all queued Media Messages received before first Video Keyframe Message

2.     [warn] bootstrap path is in event file is empty for event:livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent stream name:livestream1
As I mentioned, everything works on iOS and FMS seems to be creating all of the stream segments and meta files:
a.     The 3 streams are being created in: HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_
b.    FMS is creating the following files in each stream folder (livestream1, livestream2, livestream 3):
1. livestream1.bootstrap
2. livestream1.control
3. livestream1.meta
4. .f4f segments
5. .f4x segments
The appropriate files are also being created in the HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent folder, in which I have the following Manifest.xml and Event.xml files:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
<media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="200" />
<media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="500" />
<media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="1000" />
</manifest>
<Event>
<EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
    <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
I’ve tried clearing the contents of both streams\_definst_ and events\_definst_\liveevent (keeping the xml files) after restarting the encoder, and creating a different event definst for the streams (liveevent2 for example).
We have an event in 2 weeks that we would like to stream to both Flash and iOS. Any help in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

One step closer:
Changed the crossdomain.xml file (more permissive settings).
Changed the encoding on FMLE to vp6. Working somewhat (don't know what I did to make it start streaming through hds).
But at least now I can get the individual streams in the set manifest file to work:
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream1.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream2.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream3.f4m
BUT when I try to play the streams through the set manifest file from http://localhost/liveevent.f4m I'm getting the following error:
"The F4m document contains errors URL missing from Media tag." I'll search the forums to see if anyone else has come across this problem.
I used the f4m config tool to make the file. These are the file's contents:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
<baseURL>http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>
<media href="livestream1.f4m " bitrate="200"/>
<media href="livestream2.f4m " bitrate="500"/>
<media href="livestream3.f4m " bitrate="1000"/>
</manifest>

Exe file not working with forced download script.

I have a captivate file that I exported as an exe file for
pc. It works fine when I download it from the server using the
direct URL to the file but I don;t want people to actually see
where it is located so I have a used a force-download php script.
When I download it by way of the script... it downloads, but the
file won't play. All I get is a DOS window pop up and then goes
away. Same file...any ideas?
The php file I'm using to force the download is below...

Application files not working...please help.

I have an imac g3 400MHz when i start it up it goes through its normal starting phases but without any error messages and when the color screen pops up , it freezes so the only way i can start the computer is with extensions off. Once their any application file i try to open does not work but i do get messages that read for example:"The application "Apple DVD Player" could not be opened because "ControlStripLib" could not be found". Other messages read similiarly. Can you offer any suggestions or do you require further information about my problem?
Thanks.
Rob Arrona
imac g3 400mhz Mac OS 9.0.x

Open the Servers folder inside the System Folder and throw away anything that you don't recognize, and restart your computer normally. If the issue persists, open the Extensions Manager control panel, turn off half of your extensions, and restart the machine. Repeat the process of turning off half of the remaining extensions and restarting until you've narrowed down the extension causing your issue.
The messages about items not being found are due to the extensions not being loaded.

Edge.oam animation file not working in Muse

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've created an edge animation, published an .oam file and placed it on a Muse wepage (no prob).
Preview in Muse works beautifully.
Preview in browser from Muse works beautifully.
Export Muse to HTML and Edge animation not displaying – looked at the code, shows an iframe with link to edge html, but just not working.
...help please

Someone please help me with this... I dont understand where the src path should point to when updated? Can you give an example path. I am not using edge animate but instead HYPE 3 which is relatively the same thing, exports html animations as an OAM or html file. When I use the OAM in muse it previews fine in browser and in Muse. But when I publish it shows a blank box. I looked at the code and see the iframe pointing to assets/example/example.html.
I've tried exporting the Muse file as HTML after I've placed the OAM widget in Muse.. Then I navigate to the assets file and open the HTML file and try and locate the iframe code line but it does NOT exist. But if i Publish the site with Muse and OAM widget and use the developers tools I can see the iframe. After that I've tried going through filezilla to the assets folder and opening the HTML file but still NO iframe code line exists. I only find src for .js code.
PLEASE HELP... would really like to integrate these animations into my projects.
Thanks

Sharepoint 2013, event receiver to rename files not working

I coded an event receiver (ItemAdding) that renames for example a .txt file to a .text file (it does not matter the extensions, it is just an example). In my code what I do is to an SPFile.MoveTo operation. It works fine in SP2010 but when I execute
the same code in SP 2013, when the operation is done using IE I get the text "Sorry, something went wrong" and then "File Not Found".
In the logs this is what I see:
12/23/2013 15:48:49.16 w3wp.exe (0x17B0)                       0x0AC8 SharePoint Foundation

It's clear that the Sharepoint upload code tries to do things with the original name and it does not realize that it was renamed.
Can I do something from my event receiver code like using the AfterProperties to bypass this error?
Thanks

Hi Dennis,
The issue still persists. Here is the code:
        public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                try

                    string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
                    SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
                    SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
                    EventFiringEnabled = false;
                    string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
                    szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
                    string szNewFileName;
                    if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
                    else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                    else szNewFileName = szUrl;
                    if (properties.ListItem != null)
                        properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                        properties.ListItem.Update();
                    spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
                    EventFiringEnabled = true;
                    base.ItemAdded(properties);

My code is like this,
*&      Form backup_file
      The file has been processed. Go ahead and copy it to the
      backup directory and delete it from the processing directory.
FORM backup_file .

        lv_backup TYPE string,
        l_rc TYPE i.
IF p_appl = 'X'. "Unix file
    lv_oldfile = wa_files-filename.
Replace the directory name with the backup directory.
    REPLACE p_dir IN wa_files-filename WITH p_back.
Tack date/time onto the end of the file name to avoid duplicate
files
    CONCATENATE wa_files-filename
                sy-datum
                sy-uzeit
              INTO wa_files-filename.

    ELSE.
    Write the file contents to the new backup file.
      LOOP AT itab_input INTO wa_input.
        TRANSFER wa_input TO wa_files-filename.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
Close the backup file.
    CLOSE DATASET wa_files-filename.
Delete the original file from the processing directory.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    DELETE DATASET lv_oldfile.
endif.
endform.
Thanks Everyone!

HI,
You have to check the value of Sy-subrc after the delete statement,
and the value present in the variable lv_oldfile that if there is correct
value in the variable populated or not.
Moreover after assigning the value to variable lv_oldfile in the step
lv_oldfile = wa_files-filename.
then you should use this variable lv_oldfile only for open dataset and close dataset also.
Hope ir helps
Regards

Calendar Alarm Open FIle not working in Mountain Lion

Recently upgraded my mac mini server to 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I need it to open a particular Filemaker file every morning, and close the application every night. Used to have a simple alarm in iCal set to do this with Open File and then a very simple Automator script to close the program at a scheduled time, also in iCal. Worked fine. Now, in trying to recreate this, it doesn't work - I make the scripts, and if I set them for a time I can test them (ie. 5 minutes from now), they work as planned, but they will not function on their own at the scheduled time. I thought it might be going to sleep, so I set Energy Saver to Never go to sleep, unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible", and checked "Wake for network access". Still not working. Any thoughts? Any idea how to even troubleshoot this?

I thought I was on to something, but then I re-read your post and saw that you've successfully tested your scripts in Calendar. So, all I've got left to offer is a silly question: has the calendar been set to ignore alerts? I ask because just within the last few days I created an Automator calendar alarm, tested it successfully (in the same fashion as you), and set it off to run on its merrily-scheduled way, only to discover it wasn't firing on its own. Like you, I double-checked my Energy Saver settings and it looked like things should work just fine. What I finally found was that at some point during all my testing and fiddling I'd ticked the "Ignore alerts" box for the calendar, and that's what was keeping my script from firing.

Animated gif files not working in FF5 ok in every other browser

Hi .
I am having problems getting animated gifs to play in firefox 5 i am using a photo gallery script to show these files it works in every other browser i have access to (most of them on Linux and windows Xp and win7 ) if i use FF5 as a file manager and navigate to the files they run but not from a web page this is only with firefox 4 and 5 not got previous to 4 to test .

Right . this looks like it may be a problem with the way FF5 is handling various methods of viewing images i use the following code .
<pre><nowiki><a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="photos/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.jpg" width="100px" height="75px" border="0"><span><img src="photos/Animations/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.gif"></span></a></nowiki></pre>
along with css .
<pre><nowiki>(
.gallerycontainer{
position: relative;
/*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/
.thumbnail img{
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
.thumbnail:hover{
background-color: transparent;
.thumbnail:hover img{
border: 1px solid blue;

Hai,
V are facing some probelms with reports6i.
1.we are calling the report using the command line method not
run_product.for these reports 'Generate to File' menu is not working.It shows
an error like Umimplemented Error (rep-0999).How to solve this problem.
2.In one report we are using CLOB field.but when we take the print output of
this field some of the characters are missing in print out.the problem what
we think is that, there is no entre key padding when a word wrap is
occuring.We have to give it manually which is not applicable in all
cases.Please give some methods to solve these probelms.
Please treat this as an urgent matter.
thanking you,

Generate to File not working

Hai,
we are calling the report using the command line method not
run_product.for these reports 'Generate to File' menu is not working.It shows
an error like Umimplemented Error (rep-0999).There is one default printer attached to m/c. and the operation system is winows nt.This is working when running the report in report builder.it is not working when called through menu.Pls help me to solve this problem.
dilip

Hi,
I am not sure what do you want to convey here - "It is working with Reports builder and not working with menu". From Report builder, only way to generate the otput to file is to go through menu, there are no other shortcut or toolbar icon present. Do you want to say, it works when you run to previewer but is failing when you generate to a file. To give you a hint:
1. Does the problem exist with only this report or with all the reports?
2. If the problem is with all the reports, then there is a setup problem.
3. Try running PRINTER DRIVER TEST against your printer, to check it is ok?
4. Check that the login under which you are trying to run the report, has the priviledge to print with this default printer.
5. Try changing the printer driver?
If this does not solve the problem, please contact Oracle support to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Rohit
