Synchronize same stream to multiple users

I am creating an application where multiple people can watch a video at the same time , but one of those people controls the playback of the video for everyone. Furthermore, the controller is not always the same person, it can change if someone leaves or depending on other factors.
Along with ad server integration, FMS can do that? please guide

FMIS (interactive server) is capable of this using a combination of client and server side scripting.
The idea here is that the server would play the media over a server side live stream, and the clients would subscribe to that live stream. When the "controller" changes the position of the video, a message would be sent to the server (you can use netconnection.call and a server side method on the client object) indicating the required position, and a server side method would change the position of the media on the server side stream.
As for clients of varied bandwidth, there isn't much you can do about that. During periods of high latency or packet loss for a given client, that client my lag behind other clients with better connections. What you might consider doing is having the server dispatch a message to all clients when the position of the video is changed, and have every client close and reopen the netstream. That would clear the current lag, but would not prevent it from building up again.

Streaming from multiple user accounts......problem

With my initial set up I had no problem. I have a large iTunes Library. 48k songs. Over 270 GB of files. I synced a few photos and some music for the AppleTV slide shows but everything else I was going to stream. Streaming is working wonderfully from MY user account but if I try and stream a similar sized library from another user account on the same computer it is "NO JOY". I get the "loading library" dialog with the little circle of dashes going round and round but it eventually gives up and does not load. I have tried this with iTunes running on my user account and with iTunes turned off on my user account and either way the library from the other user account will NOT load. I am at a loss here. The set up for the second user went smoothly. I clicked add a library and got a key code on my TV screen. AppleTV showed up in the devices column in iTunes of the second user account and accepted the key code but like I said earlier the library will just not load for streaming. Streaming from my first user account is still working well. I have not found any discussion topics dealing with streaming from multiple user accounts. Hopefully someone who is doing this will chime in and help me out if possible.

The only way I have been able to get this to work is to quit the iTunes that I am currently streaming from. Switch (on the computer) users to the library I want to stream from. Start iTunes on that user. If I follow this I can get AppleTV to load the library of the second user. If I do NOT quit iTunes from the first user it will not load the second user's library. If I have iTunes from the second user running at the same time I quit the first user's iTunes it will NOT load the second users library. I guess it is a bug and will need to be fixed with the next software release. I would like to be able to switch among user libraries at will and independent of which user is currently using the computer.

Want to play same stream on multiple pc's in diff rooms

I want to play the same stream or playlist at the same time on multiple PC's in different rooms. I have computers. I have speakers. I shouldn't have to buy speakers with computers in them to make this work. Can this be done with Spotify?

Hello
Welcome to the Spotify Community.
Spotify can only be streamed on one device at a time (in this case one PC)
If you try to stream on more than one, it will pause the other one.
You can add a kudo to this idea:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Spotify-Connect-Multiple-Speakers-Devices/idi-p/614088
https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/faq/#!/article/Can-I-use-Spotify-from-multiple-locations
Spotify can be installed on as many devices as you like. However, you can only stream music on one device at a time. If you begin playback on another device, the playback on your current device will be paused.

Network drive volume name for same folder by multiple users

I am using a 1TB USB hard disk attached to a ASUS RT-AC68U wireless router as network drive. There are multiple user accounts created on the same MacBook Air and they need to access the same folders on the network drive. For example, we have folder called "iTunes" created on the network drive.
The following steps resulted in some problems encountered.
Step 1: When user1 mounts the iTunes folder as a network drive, the general info shows:
General:
Kind: Volume
Server: smb://rt-ac68u/iTunes
Name & Extensions:
iTunes
Step 2: When user2 mounts the same iTunes folder as a network drive, the general info shows:
General:
Kind: Volume
Server: smb://rt-ac68u/iTunes
Name & Extensions:
iTunes-1
Question: Why does OS X assign "iTunes-1" as the name of the same network folder on the network drive for user2? Is there a way to retain the same original folder name for user1 and user2, such as "iTunes", so that it can be access as "/Volumes/iTunes" by both these users?

Hi Drew,
Thanks for the recommendations. They are useful tips to have in the arsenal, thanks. However, the preferences discussed are intended for directly attached external hard disks and the specific discussion was to make it available to the network on a Mac that is powered up with no user logged in (like a OS X Server but user still need to log in).
That's correct, I'm sorry I am wrong.
I do remember another defaults write option for detaching network drives on 'switch to loginwindow' because I needed the same thing - eventually I gave up & disabled fast user switching, it reduced the amount of issues for the clients. Sorry for confusing the two.
Have you considered mounting it via a startup script. At the moment it is failing because the path exists when User2 mounts it. If you try a script (at the level of the system) it should mount only once. Obviously sticking usernames & passwords into a script is not the best for security.
I think this issue is what NFS mounts can overcome, but I haven't used them for so long. They should be able to mount with no user interaction, but they are less flexible with permissions IIRC.
If your NAS supports NFS look at that, I think you both need to remove the user as the agent that mounts the disk. If the OS does it once (& permissions are correct) it should remove the 'diskname-1' issue.
When it works you end up with volumes in /Network/diskname.
I don't have a good place to start with NFS, so take a look around here…
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144999
@ElisabethBraut, do you get this error form MS…
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2712085
MS apps fall apart when you have disks mounted like this, it's a consequence of MS apps using an older way to represent filepaths.

How do I get itunes and iphoto to have the same files on multiple users?

Every time I upload a disc or photos, they show up on my user profile, but not my wife's. It seems like I am wasting a ton of hard drive space reloading the same things between each user. I tried the "shared" folder, but i am not sure that worked.
Thanks for the help...

I don't think that Thomas's solution will work on 10.5.
There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a dmg.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Sharing the same keychain across multiple user accounts

Hello, Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

I have tried, without success to share a keychain between two accounts. In Keychain Access -> Edit -> Keychain List there is a Shared checkbox next to each keychain. If I click on that, the keychain disappears from the list of Keychains that you see when you open Keychain Access (and if necessary, click on Show Keychains). The keychain does not show up on any other account, either. The keychain is still there in ~/Library/Keychains.
Seems pretty useless, as does Apple's article "Mac OS X 10.4 Help -- Administering keychains for multiple user" at <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1775.html>.
Some idiot in the security world recommended that we split our account into administrator and non-administrator, and normally log on only to the non-administrator account. This forces me to try to share files, folder, and keychains, so I can get any work done while logged on from the administrator account. Mostly, I don't think Unix, or Mac OS X, was designed to share things. (This is not a Mac versus PC statement. I only have one account on the PCs I'm forced to use at work -- it may be just as hard or harder on a PC.)
This security advice is stupid! Don't do it. Do everything on one account or you will waste hours and hours trying to bridge the gap between them.
But I would like to know how to share a keychain, since Apple's help files SAY you can. Only it does not work.

ACS and same username for multiple users (max sessions)

Hello,
I have created four user groups and four users. Each user is in its own user group and each usergroup have its own ip pool. The problem is that multiple sessions is not always (works random) possible even if the max session is set for group to unlimited and users use group settings. does anyone have any idea what might cause the problem?
thanks for your answers,
Lasse

Hi,
Here is some more information about problem. Connection fails even if the authentication is passed. I use ACS (3.3) for authenticating users from mobile network.

Send same stream to multiple audio outputs

Hi! I've just unsuccessfully tried to send the same output (an iTunes stream) to *headphones line out* and *usb conected speakers* (harman kardon). I've tried with "Soundflower" feature "aggregate audio devices" but I was only able to play from one single output. I also tried with *Audio Hijack pro* but with no luck, maybe because of my lack of experience with that program. Has anyone any clue about this situation? Thanks a lot!!
p.s.: I don't know if this is the right forum to post my question, moderators feel free to move it to the appropriate one.

Audio Hijack Pro will do it. Use "Sound" system preference to set output to one device you want. In Audio Hijack Pro's "Input" tab, set "Source Type" to "Application", select iTunes, click "Hijack", make sure "Mute" is off, go to the 'Effects" tab, click the top-left blank square to insert an effect, choose "Auxiliary Device Output" from "4FX Effect" and set "Device" to the other desired audio output. Use "In" gain on the effect to control its volume.

Importing Photos and Music from Multiple users on the same Mac

I am the same person with multiple users on one iMac. I need to have the same pics and music files on all of the user names on the one computer.
I have the family pack MobileMe plan.
Where are the files located for the photos and music in iTunes?
I would like to import them from one user to another user on the same computer.
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If you Import the files from one User to another then you will use double the disk space on your HD as you will have multiple copies of everything. Why not simply share the files between accounts?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Data in the table changes when multiple users try to submit data

I have a dynamic table. The table is created in the wdDoModifyView. The user can load data into the table from an excel file. So I have a "Load" button that loads the data from the selected excel file to the table. I also have a "Submit" button. This "Submit" button converts the data to an xml file and make a call to an oracle stored procedure for validation check. If there's an error it will be returned and displayed to the user. If none, a summary of data for posting will be displayed to the user. If the data is correct and the user hit the ok button, the same data will be return to oracle sp for loading in the table.
The problem we encountered is when multiple users are loading and submitting at the same time, the data displayed in the dynamic tables changes after clicking the ok button. It is as if, the table displays the data being loaded by other user.
This is an error that is difficult to recreate. This doesn't happen all the time. I hope you somebody could enlighten me why this is happening. I'm not sure if it has something to do with multithreading or session.
Edited by: Marlyn Agco on Apr 14, 2009 3:57 PM

Hi Armin,
Did you mean storing view instances in static references and accessing them outside the wdDoModifyView is not a good idea? In wdDoInit the nodes are dynamically created according to the xml file being returned by the database. This node is stored in a static variable which is also used in wdDoModifyView to create the dynamic table.
What do you suggest? We're still encountering same issue when multiple users are uploading data.

Multiple user accounts, multiple Ipods, One computer, One Itunes library

Here's my problem, I have my main music library on my Mac Mini (Intel 1.5 solo) its too big to fit on the hard drive with everything else, so I added a Mini pal drive. This has my music, photos and all the other junk I cant fit on the mini's hard drive. I want to create multiple accounts so my kids can each have their own, but we all have Ipods that we want connected to our own accounts. I want to keep all the music in one library, and share it accross all the accounts. I dont want to have to log on when my kids want a song from my library. Itunes dosent seam to like the library being on the seperate drive. Mabe I am just dooing something wrong.
Ps: I'm running Itunes 7.3 on all my machines

Apple really doesn't quite do multi-user well yet, at least as far as the iPod goes (IMHO.)
We've taken your approach. 3 users with iTunes for each pointing to a single library on an external storage device. That way there's no problem with having to go to other libraries to import (and not question about 'copying files'... big waste of space.)
Our problem is having multiple iPods plugged into the same machine. I'm about to buy one of the new models for wife and daughter, but I'm not sure how we all can be plugged in (as I'm sure will happen.)
Right now, when I plug in just my own Nano, it appears in iTunes for each of the other users. In fact I sometimes can't even eject because iTunes for another user thinks the iPod its attached to it.
To expand this thread, anyone have pointers on use of multiple iPods on the same machine with multiple users? The existing links to Apple support articles are not relevant.

JSP Custom tag not working correctly for multiple users

I am doing some support work for an existing web system. When doing single user access (a custom tag is called within the JSP); the output of the Custom tag is fine. However, during multiple user access to the JSP, as I could see on the log files, 2 users access the custom tag at exactly the same time- the output of one of the users was incorrect. The custom tag btw, uses TreeMap, Stringbuffer and does not have a body, only attributes passed to it. It takes an input file and a Hashmap as input attributes and it sets a string in the page context which is later being used in the JSP. No error is logged, its just that the string produced(placed in the page context) is incorrect. This only happens when this tag is called at same time(when multiple users accessing the page) Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a known pooling/thread problem with custom tags?

in a servlet/jsp (a jsp is compiled into a servlet),
the class atrributes are shared. only the
variables declared in the doservice (doGet or doPost)
method are threadsafe.
post your jsp plzhere's the snippet of the jsp code:
<%@ page language="java"
errorPage="Error.jsp"
autoFlush="false"
buffer="128kb"
import="java.text.*,
java.math.BigDecimal,
java.rmi.RemoteException,
java.util.*,
java.io.*,
%>
<%@ include file="Secure.jsp" %>
// a set of request.getParameter are being called here
HashMap myMap = new HashMap();
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneNumber, dPhoneNumber);
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneType, "D");
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneExt, dExtension);
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneDigits, dPhoneDigits);
// other myMap putting of key values are called here
%>
<test:applyCustomerSearchValues id="resultXml" xmlTemplate="/xml/message/CustomerUpdateRequest.xml"
xmlMap="<%= myMap %>" />
<test:transformXMLString id="customerUpdateRequest"
xmlString="<%= resultXml.toString() %>"
xslFileName="/xsl/message/CustomerCreateRequest.xsl"
paramMap="<%= PMap %>"/>
now here's the thing: the xml produced by test:applyCustomerSearchValues is resultXml which is used in test:transformXMLString. I got no problem with the output of test:transformXMLString. I am sure that a phone number is being passed into the former as part of the HashMap key-value. However when test:applyCustomerSearchValues is called when 2 users access the jsp, it seems like the the first xml produced does not have the phone number in it - but the other has it. The xml is OK for both users, its just that the values of the HashMap do not seem to be passed correctly into the xml produced.
--- here's the snippet of the log, the first httpWorkerThread-80-6 does not have the phone number, however the second one-httpWorkerThread-80-7 has the phone number. The first one should also have a phone number as in the start of the log, the number was listed, but as the system called the test:applyCustomerSearchValues tag, the number was not included. There are different phone numbers for the 2 users. The odd thing here is, the userID which is the 'LastUpdatedBy' element has been set correctly. The userID is being fetched from a session attribute while the phone number is fetched from a request parameter, both are being placed in the HashMap attribute passed to the custom tag.

Auto email multiple copies to multiple user as per filter

Hello all ,
I am developed a report
as below
Auto email status report to particular Heads if store proc returns data for him .
I can make a copy of report for one head using his division filter and user_id
and if store proc returns data for him so email to him ..
same thing for multiple users with same store proc can return the data and email
but i dont getting how can i do this...?
Please (Visakh 16) and others help on this
Dilip Patil..

Hi,
I think you should create one Delivery Profile, with multiple Email Devices. Within the Delivery Profile you should add all the Email Devices you want to use.
If this Delivery Profile is active, you can add Active Devily Profile as the User Destination on the Destination page of the iBot.
Otherwise you can check if it works when you select 'Email' as the Specific Device.

Stijn
