Synchronizing with Media

Hello.
I am developing an MHP application. I need to do some stuff when the video play time is at some value, but I actually don't know how to start.
I've read about that. However I haven't found anything specific that make things clear for me.
In http://www.interactivetvweb.org/tutorials/mhp/synchronization they say stream events are embedded in MPEG-2 Private Sections. My problem is that I haven't found the way to do it. I understand the application's side, but I'm stuck because I don't know how I can broadcast stream events.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank's in advance.
Luis.

Just a general error without explanation.
This evening I found the problem: WMP11 writes some info on the card to recognize it (together with the IMEI).
Because I copied the contents of the card the info was not correct with the new phone. After deleting all the contents of the card and only copying back my photos and other files I was able to synchronize again...

(no) synchronizing with Media Player

There I was, happily copying my CD's to the Zen Touch I bought in 2005, with the help of Media Player 0. Then Media Player got there and I installed it. Result? No more happy copying. Just a message that synchronization was impossible. So I re?nstalled MP 0. But now I constantly get the message that there is an updat for MP 0. I know. And it would be nice to use it. But I do want to put music on the Zen. I called Creative and they said that Microsoft was working on a patch. Were they? I tried to contact them in various ways, but got nowhere. So?I never found out if there is a patch. Does anybody know about a patch to solve this problem??

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time

Hi,
Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time, and the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger. The transfer bytes per second between master and slave is 118MB/s , upper limit to the ethernet card. Why???
ENVIRONMENT:
1. A network program which we called mcdb is based on BDB 4.8.30. It is used to accept get/set requests and then query data from bdb or save data to bdb.
2. mcdb implements replication with bdb replication manager api. The default start replication policy is DB_REP_ELECTION, rep ack policy is DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER and rep priority is 100.
3. The bdb data files, bdb log files, region files and rep files are all in the same home directory.
4. There are two instances of the mcdb are separately on two standalone servers which has no other programs. These two instances are in one replication group which can elect a master automatically.
5. The master instance is online, which has lots of requests (get, set, delete).
ACTIONS:
1. Start two mcdb instances on two servers and the two instance make a replication group. Slave has already synchronized with the master.
2. Stop the slave for a long time (more than 20 hours).
3. Start the slave instance to synchronize data with master.
RESULT:
1. the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger.
2. db_stat of master and slave:

Hi,
Unfortunately, this issue is beyond the level of what is supported over the forum. Performance related issues are extremely complex and require an in-depth understanding of your environment and dedicated support. In a generic sense, you can look at this as a basic queueing problem. You have a server that went down and work is still coming in. When the server gets started it is possible that it may never catch up depending on new work coming in and the rate at processing the old work.
So what would you do in this case --- one thing would be to reduce the new work coming in. In HA terms this would be slowing the master down and you can increase DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT for this. Another thing you could do is add fresh servers to help reduce the workload. In HA terms, this would be the equivalent of restarting the client and give it a fresh look at everything. Another thing you could do is replan the system and load balance. In HA terms, it would mean something like take a hot backup of the master and reinit a client from scratch.
If you are interested in getting a dedicated support person working on this concern, please let me know and we can move forward down that path. Just respond to the thread with your email address and I will get in contact with you so we can pursue that approach.
thanks

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

The only thing I can see strange is that when I login my iCloud account through my principal email address, when I check my preferences is marked an @me.com address that is old and I don't use it anymore, but I can't erase it or even change it.

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?
I have 1000s of broken links after installing the latest version of iTunes and updating some files in my media folder. The location of my itunes library has not changed, and all the files are there (I know because I've just waited several hours for the files to be updated by my ultra-slow computer) - by my logic, there should be some menu option that simply re-synchronises with the media folder, just like itunes would do with an ipod - it can't be that hard can it? The only way I can restore a link is by clicking every song (I have over 28,000) and locating the file in the folder that iTunes claims to use as its media folder - the new version 10 option of then using this location to restore all broken links doesn't work because it only looks in the specific album file, and after a couple of times this dialog box no longer even comes up, so I couldn't ask it to do this even if I wanted to. At the moment the only option I can see is to completely wipe iTunes and re-load all my music from scratch - using my tired and over-worked computer this will realistically take around 15 hours that I don't have, and my computer will melt in the process. I wish I'd never tried to 'tidy up' my iTunes library...
PLEASE Apple, how hard can it be to have a function that searches for and restores broken links by itself????? I've told you where the music is - just flipping look for it yourself instead of getting me to do it!

You don't have to re-rip, re-import or re-download all your content. You can clear the iTunes library, either by selecting all in the libary and pressing the Delete key, saying "no" when it asks if you want to remove the files themselves, and then use the Add To Library command, selecting the iTunes Media folder (or iTunes Music folder, as applicable to your situation), and that will add back all your content. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes; if it does, something may be amiss with your hard drive or the library file is corrupted (in which case just delete the library file and re-do the Add To Library command).
Regards.

Outlook 14.4.8 not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox"

Outlook 14.4.8 on iMAC Retina and Yosemite 10.10.2 is not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox".
Accessing Mails with Webbrowser and from Windows Outlook is working correctly.
All Macs (also the ones with OS 10.6.8) do not anymore show any new messages in inbox.
Restarted Server, tried to disable autodiscover on macs and deleting/adding account and repairing database does not fix the problem. Also restarted server several times.
We have the same problem on 2 imacs retina with yosemite and on 2 mac pro with 10.6.8 and different office 2011 versions.
i tried to configure the exchange account in apple mail on yosemite and it also states "connected" and does list some folders but no new mails are getting in.
Windows clients and outlook on them works and syncs fine, and also when connecting via webbrowser at owa it must be a mac-specific/webdav issue.
exchange 2007 Sp3 Version 8.3 (bild 83.6) and Update Rollup 15 for sp3 (automatic updates "HIGH" for server and clients)
there is one update popping up again and again even after everytime successull installation: Windows Mlicious Software Removal Tool x64 - October 2010.
i tried to configure a new user with empty mailbox and configured it with microsoft mail (mac - yosemite) as exchange and was able to send a mail from there (even if quite delayed).
but there are not coming in any mails.
same exchange accounts triggered by imap do work and also via owa.
Exchange Accounts in Outlook for MAC and also in Mail (Yosemite) do show the folder structures but there is no mails showing up. I can send mails from the exchange accounts created but they seem to be processed with a delay of like 15minutes and outlook
is giving error "end of file reached" but messages are send after some time.
Does seem like EWS is extremely slow, to slow perhaps to sync and therefore ending in timeout.
Also i cannot reach the server from externally over ssl https 443. if testing port 443 of exchange from outside the port seems closed even firewall settings of sbs 2008 and sonicwall ports are correctly open.
could it be there is something in regarding webdav which is very slow and leading to timeouts ?
in application log i do have the following two information events every few minute:
The Exchange Web Services started successfully. Event ID 1
and

Hi,
Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.
More information for your reference:
Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
If it is the case, please remove them.

NO profiles on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center?

Hello,
We have one desktop and on laptop running windows 8.1. We purchased two copies of Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro Pack and upgraded them to Windows 8.1 Pro. After joining the domain, it seems to be working fine for one day. Over the weekend,
the user tried to log back on, it doesn't have any profiles. Do a Ctrl+Alt+Del, there is nothing to enter the username/password. It just have the left arrow. When clicking on the left arrow, it goes back to the screen that says "Press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete to sign in." We have run chkdsk /f and look at the profile list in the registry and they look correct. The only way to look in is using Safe Mode. We have disable all the non-MS services and startup items and
still have the same issue with NO profile and cannot log in.
Also, in Safe Mode, we were able to leave the domain but still have the same issue.
We have system image and try to restore it, it says something about not having an admin account. Seems very strange since there are two admin accounts.
We have other Windows 8.1 PRO (with NO media center) workstations joining the domain and do not have this issue. This seems to happen Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center upgraded from 8.1. We could reformat the drives and reinstall everything but
it happens twice on one computer an once on the laptop. It will probably happen again.
Created new admin accounts, and enable the default administrator account but still cannot see anything in normal mode.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue and know why this happened?
Thank you!

Hi,
Did you mean the sign in input box without problem under Safe Mode?
If yes, sign in with one administrator account to create a new administrator user in safe mode, and then boot into normal mode to check the result.
If it could sign in the new user without problem, follow this guide to fix your another user profile.

Changing From Windows 8.1 PRO with Media Center To Just Windows 8.1 PRO

Hi,
I am trying to convert my windows to Windows 8.1 PRO from an unactivated version of Windows 8.1 PRO with Media Center (a free trial I got when I purchased my computer that expired). I am having an issue where it says to "Activate Windows."
I purchased a Windows 8.1 PRO key and when I try to enter it into the "Activate Windows" under PC settings, it tells me that "This key can't be used to activate this version of windows." What do I do?

Can't update Win 8 to Win 8.1 with Media Center

I recently went through a nasty divorce and all my stuff was put in storage for about a year. When I finally got everything back and set up my entertainment center I wanted to update the Win 8 Media Center pc to 8.1. I can’t do it through the store. Resource
Monitor says I’ve dl’ed more than 8 gigs over three days so far but the file is stuck at 2.9 gigs and won’t grow. I tried deleting the file to start over and can’t. wsreset fixed other programs that wouldn't dl but not 8.1. In addition, this pc was working
perfectly before it was put into storage but its wonky now. For example, I can’t update the system time even though I set proper permissions in the local security policy at change the system time. There are also a bunch of other aggravating little problems
like that and I really want to reformat and start from scratch.
In a related issue I got Media Center free when MS offered it. I took two licenses and used one as a backup for a pc that’s not connected to a TV. I updated that one several months ago and just noticed I don’t have Media Center in add features or anywhere
else I can find. Oddly enough it appears that I have the rest of the pro pack like BitLocker, only Media Center is missing.
So I have two questions:
How can I update to Win 8.1 with Media Center starting from scratch?
How can I add Media Center to the pc I already updated?
I’m an Action Pack subscriber if that helps.
“Some days you’re the pigeon, some days you’re the statue.”

Updated.
First, I want to know if your computer is a Windows 8 professional edition?
If you're already running Windows 8 Pro and have Windows Media Center, you won't need to reinstall it after updating to
Windows 8.1
After upgrading to Windows 8.1 the Windows media Center will not be included if your system is not Windows 8 Pro, you can see it from the official site:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8
If you want to install Windows Media Center, you need to add features to
Windows 8.1, and what I have to point out is there is a difference between Windows 8 and Window 8 Pro when add packages to Windows Media Center:

Upgrad from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center!

Hello,
I did upgrade from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. Now the problem is when I press on any file with the right mouse button is normally open curtain menu, but when I press on any folder, right-click, the system crashes after a few seconds
and back up.
Best regards!

Hi,
Go Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer and scroll through the logs for System and Applications to see if anything shows up in red as Error or Warning.
Meanwhile, going to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers
in regedit.exe, backing up the whole ConxtentMenuHandlers folder, and then start deleting all of them one by one and continuously testing the right click. Of course import the Context folder after you find it, test once again by right clicking
to make sure you found the problem, and delete the file that caused the problem.

Trying to compare FCP with Media 100 for a Public Access studio

Hi all,
I am new here. I do most of the review of products for our Public Access studio. We have a couple of existing Media 100 systems and we are considering adding or upgrading our NLE capabilities. Our studio manager had a chance to look at FCP being used at our high school and she came back with a number of impressions that I wonder about and would like to vet with people who know more about FCP. So, any comments would be helpful.
The high school media person demo’d FCP for her and let her play with it a bit. After looking at it herself, she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before. That is fairly typical of the people doing Public Access production in our town.
However, it looks to her like there are a lot of tools that come with FCP that Media 100 either doesn't have or are not easily found in it. For example, she feels FCP’s set up looks more complicated and confusing compared to Media 100’s, but in FCP you can have up to 99 video lines in a program, where with Media 100 we're just going back and forth between the a and b video lines. Plus you can have up to 99 Audio tracks on FCP as well, where our max at the moment is 8. Now as to when you would need 99 video or audio tracks, she is not sure, but it is definitely a capability that we don't have in Media 100.
Titling looked easier to her on Media 100. With FCP there were a lot of filters involved and hoops to jump through, plus she couldn't do a word with each letter a different color, for example, unless she did each letter on a different track.
The media person warned her that FCP is really large. Apparently the program itself takes up like 35 GB of space on the hard drive, and a typical 30 min. project comes in at over 100 GB! She couldn't believe it, but she was assured it’s true. Even with our longest programs, like like a School Committee meeting thqat went 3 1/2 hours, it would came in at a max of 30 GB on the Media 100. She got the impression this big difference was so because Final Cut renders everything you do, including rendering any edits you make on your footage as new files, and stores it all in a huge folder. She thinks with Media 100, you import the footage and use it as is - the only things it will render are screen freezes, transitions, and color effects. Is that sort of comparison correct (and fair), or is something being missed?
She says in her experience that something like iMovie is the most basic as far as what you can do, then Ulead would be a step above that- the editing is basically the same, but you have a few more options. Media 100 would be next as far as ease of use and understanding of the program. FCP seemed a little confusing even to her. Comments or insights?

Welcome to the family, maybe.
I switched from M100 about four years ago, I was never so glad to give that company the boot. A direct comparison just isn't possible but I'll try to answer some questions. There is a Media 100 forum on creativecow.net.
she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before.< </div>
Yes, absolutely, M100 has always had an elegant and refined interface. However, the paradigm in FCP is not opaque. It's far more interesting, deeper, more complex. So, yes, it's a bit tougher to grasp. But don't sell your students/users short. They'll get it.
99 tracks is marketing BS. The serious work is done with nesting. How many public access pieces need more than 5 or 10 video tracks?
Titling in FCP depends on third party filters like Boris or tools like LiveType and Motion. The basic titling tools in FCP are lame and difficult to use, in my opinion, compared to the elegant titler in M100 (as long as you don't launch Graffiti).
The installation includes tens of gigs of animation, movie and music loop resources that you don't need to load. The suite includes Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and FCP.
If you're shooting DV, a 3-1/2 hour show is, umm, well, you look it up, DV is DV. But if you're capturing 3 hours from each of three cameras, that's a lot of DV.
Rendering depends on lots of things. M100's native codec handles lots of realtime stuff that FCP can't unless you've got a huge Macintosh. Previewing is not a big deal at lower rez in FCP, you get used to it. .
FCP is really scary. You can look at thousands of "I'm in way over my head, HELP!" posts here. But all those folks find they slip right into the Apple paradigm, the weirdly new workflow and start exploring the wide new world of serious editing that FCP opens up. You'll hate it for a few months because it's so dramatically different from M100. You'll love it, though.
If you want to continue the thread, give the rest of the disaffected former M100 users a few days to post their comments. There are many of us here. Then maybe start a new thread, one question at a time.

Tracks ripped with EAC Play alphabetically, when ripped with Media Player Play in the correct or

I just got my new zen touch. I downloaded the new firmware update and it seems to be working great.
The only problem is that when I add music that I've ripped with Exact Audio Copy c/ Lame Encoder to MP3, The tracks don't play in the correct order on my Zen Touch.
When I add an album ripped with Microsoft Media Player, it plays them in the correct order.
I think that the ID3 tags have all the appropriate info becuase when I hold my curser (on the computer) over the eac ripped tracks, the pop up menu list the track #, artist name and song title etc.
I've read the FAQ and it doesn't matter if I select Album-Play, Artist-Album-Play. I've tried all combos.
Anybody with experience using EAC? I've looked in the settings and I can't find anything wrong.
Is it possible that EAC is using and ID3 Format that my computer recognizes but my zen touch doesnt.
But Media Player uses an ID3 format that it does recognize.
Also, The album ripped with media player was ripped to WMA. While all the tracks ripped with EAC that are giving me trouble were ripped to MP3.

What software are you using to copy? Make sure both that and the drivers are completely up-to-date.
