Using 2 screens as a jukebox

Hi guys/gals
any idea if you can run 2 screens to play music videos (cover flow on one screen video on other) as all i get is blank screen? does anyone know if the older version of itunes will do this and has become a bug in later itunes versions? or if there are plugins to fix this?
cheers

Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
- the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
- I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
- I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
- recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
- can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
- does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
- Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
- Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
Lee

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

SUBMIT a report that uses screen programming

I have a report which uses screens created in screen painter and not selection screens.
currently the submit command supports only selection screens.Can you tell me how to achieve this for screens created by screen painter?

SUBMIT is for type 1 programs only - i.e. reports with selection screens. If you've any dialog in there, SUBMIT simply won't work. CALL TRANSACTION is one route, as others have suggested, via BDC. But if the program your trying to run is a Z program, why not rewrite it so that the business functionality and screen handling are seperated - then you can call the business functionality direct from your calling program. (See MVC pattern for more detail or the whole programming concept of layered design).
If the program you're wanting to run isn't your own, then look for BAPIs, FMs etc. some kind of API, and call them.

CS3 using screen res instead of tablet res

Hey,
I'm having a problem where Photoshop is using screen resolution, instead of tablet resolution, for getting the data used to render the line. This is affecting my work because I do things in pretty high resolution, and I'll draw a line when zoomed out, then zoom in and it will have a pixely edge. Well, it won't quite have a pixely edge, but it'll use the screen pixel data to figure out where to render the line.
I attached the image below to show what happens when I draw the same line at various zoom levels.

I'm using an Intuos3 with Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Might be a Windows 7 issue.

How can i make the radiobutton use screen painter?

hey experts,
i paint 3 radiobuttons in group1 use screen painter,
but when i execute the screen,all of the radiobutton are black, it means radio1='x',radio2 = 'x',radio3 = 'x'.
i only want radio1 = 'x',radio2 = ' ', radio3 = ' '.
how to do that?
and i can't do it in screen 1000.
thank you.

Hi,
Select the three radio buttons in the screen painter,
Edit->Grouping->Radiobutton group-> define.
In this case all the radio buttons will be under one group and at a time only one will be active.
Thanks,

Screen Flickering while using screen

I am using tilda in openbox.
Until I enabled "Double Buffering" in tilda, I was facing the same flickering issue in tilda too. By flickering, I mean that suppose I open a frest terminal in that & then I press BACKSPACE, I get a flicker in screen window.
I have tried opening screen in gnome-terminal too, same problem.
I really want to use screen as complete replacement to tabs, but this flickering issue is holding me back. Any solution?

Launchd cancels logout/restart and kills app when using screen sharing

I have an app I want to always run so I created a LaunchDaemon to keep it going:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.sns.sentinel.air</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>sh</string>
<string>/Applications/oc4j/restartSentinel.sh</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
And restartSentinel.sh is very simple:
echo Process Sentinel.app is being restarted...
open -W /Applications/oc4j/j2ee/home/applications/Sentinel/Sentinel.app;
Everything seems to be fine but I have to access this machine via screen sharing. Then when I log in, the app gets shut down and only restarted a few minutes later. Also, when another user logs in, they are not able to log off. Launchd seems to cancel the restart.
I do also have two other plist files running other things but they seem to work okay (they don't crash, but the one which needs to be kept alive (code is almost the same as above) also seems to be preventing log out for users other than me).
So how can I get launchd to let people use screen sharing without killing the app and how can I get it to stop canceling logot/restart?

Entering Time Machine using Screen Sharing

I use a G4 as a filserver, thus it does not need a monitor, and is just stacked under a desk. Now I want to use Time Machine backup for my files. That works.
To enter Time Machine to retrive a file, I need to use Screen Sharing. But Time Machine does not render correctly! I can see that its on - and trying, but no universe, and no buttons or stacked finder windows.. Anyone?

My Intel MacBookPro could run Time machine remotly on my PowerPC G5
But none could run it on the PowerPC G4.
So I wonder whats the logic..

How to uncheck a checkbox using Screen Variants?

Hi Masters!
Anybody knows how to uncheck a checkbox that is already checked by default?
I'm trying to do this using screen variants. I uncheck the checkbox and save the value (I also tried filling other values there like 'a', space, etc. and it didn't work), but at runtime it always shows the checkbox checked.
At the same transaction there is a unchecked checkbox by default witch I can check it with a screen variant, but somehow I can't do the other way around...
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
José Omar

I checked the code and found something interesting. The
variable I'm trying to uncheck is GV_WITH_CONTACT_PERSON.
It's declaration:
DATA: GV_WITH_CONTACT_PERSON TYPE XFELD VALUE 'X'.
At the initialization of the program (at the first screen module):
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE INITIAL_STATE.
And inside the MODULE INITIAL_STATE there is also:
MOVE 'X' TO GV_WITH_CONTACT_PERSON.
So there are places in the code that the checkbox is checked.
Now we get another problem. I don't now when the values set at a screen variant are inserted in the screen. Is it possible that the code itself is overwriting the value set with a screen variant? Or is this not possible at this point in the code?
Many Thanks,
José Omar

Why is very long (about 30 seconds) to connect another distant computer using Screen Sharing under Yosemite ?

Hello,
Before Yosemite (under Mavericks and less), it was possible to connect immediately another distant computer (over internet) with Screen Sharing (using Command-K or on Finder Menu-Go and submenu Connect To The Server, and putting the address like vnc://name:password@address
Under Yosemite, it is possible to do the same things, but it takes about 30 seconds to get connection (is it the evolution of the celerity of the computing ?). And also, I have 2 windows during the waiting of connection : one is with icon of ScreenSharingApplication and 'Connecting to …com', and the second one is with icon of a BlueHardDiskwith3people and 'Connecting…'.
Under Yosemite, if I use Chicken of the VNC or JellysFastVNC, the connection is immediately.
Could you tell me how is it possible to have under Yosemite a quick connection (about 0 to 5 seconds) with a distant computer (over internet) using Screen Sharing (command-K for example) ?
Thanks.

William,
Eventually (after about 30 hours or so) it finished the encryption. I then forced TM do a backup to the external HDD (after adding a 1GB file to my internal HDD) just to measure how long it would take for TM to run a backup to the external disk -- and it was very fast. Looks like everything is working fine now.
Without your advice that 24+ hours wasn't unreasonable time for a first encryption of a drive that size, I probably would have kept restarting my iMac and repartioning the external HDD and gone around in circles.
Thank you very much.

*Program "SAPMV45A" tried to use screen 0000. The screen does not exist*.

Dear Experts,
I have copied a program SAPMV45A (VA01) to ZSAPMV45A and created the transaction ZVA01.
I have maitained the transaction ZVA01 in V_T180 of SM30 by copying VA01.
after doing all, when I execute the transaction ZVA01 it will go to the initial screen of create Sales Order after enter the header information like Order Type, Sales Org, Distribution Channel & Division if click Enter it will go to short dump where I am getting the information as shown below
Program "SAPMV45A" tried to use screen 0000.

Hi
in transaction VFBS we have....
Function Codes                            T185F
Paths between Process. locations T185
Processing Locations                    T185V

To maintain the Screen Sequence is it enough to fill Dialogs T185D or do I need to fill all all...?
if so can I maintain the same info for ZSAPMV45A as which is there for the standard profram SAPMV45A ?

Fix for anyone unable to use screen sharing

Hi guys
Not so much a question as a fix for anyone who has been unable to use screen sharing since yesterday.
Apple have started to turn off parts of MobileMe however one of the issues is if you still have MobileMe signed in on your Snow Leopard install Screen Sharing will stop working to any computer.
To get things working again go into System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sign Out.
It should now be fixed.
Hope this helps someone out.

@Jay Gamel specifically, but to anyone who is having problems with Screen Sharing and thinks that since they don't use MobileMe that it must be something else ..
I have never used MobileMe, not even the free trial.
When I saw this post, I looked at the Mobile Me pref pane and since I had never logged in, there was no way to sign out, so I kept looking elsewhere.
Hours later, I read this email again and saw how timely it was, so I went back and looked again.
Even though I had never signed in, my AppleID was pre-populated in the Member Name field.
As soon as I cleared out this field, Screen Sharing started working again.
So, not only should you make sure you are signed out, but you should wipe out any information in either the Member Name or Password field.
I also noticed that, even after I solved it, as I continued to look at the issue, at some point the Member Name re-populated and sharing stopped working until I cleared it out again.

Error Using Screen Sharing (Not iChat)

I have a PowerBook and a G4 tower, both 10.5.6 and when I am using screen sharing I get an error: "Connection Failed to "********" Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing Preferences section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer you're connecting to...). This worked at one time. Sharing is enabled on both computers, the firewall has been turned off. Still it will not connect. Anyone have any ideas?

If you see: Apple Remote Desktop in the Services list in the the Sharing pane, select it. Also, you might need to assign permissions.
Setting permissions for screen sharing
Use the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the computer you want to share to set up screen sharing accounts and assign permissions to them.
To set up screen sharing accounts and permissions:
On the computer you want to control, choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
Select “All users” or “Only these users,” depending on who will be allowed to share this computer.
If you select “Only these users,” click Add + and select Sharing Users, Network Users, or Address Book from the list, and then choose a user. Or click New Person and assign a name and password to create a new sharing user.
Click Computer Settings and select to allow anyone to request permission to control the screen of this computer, or to allow Virtual Network Computing (VNC) users to access the screen after entering a password.

Install Mac OS using Screen Sharing or VNC - is it possible?

I've always wondered how to do this: Is it possible to remote install a Mac OS (in this case Leopard and up) using screen sharing or a vnc connection, when once the remote machine restarts and boots from the installation volume, you know longer have those sharing capabilities?
Essentially I want to know how do you control a remote mac installation without having the ability to activate screen or vnc sharing options?
In our office setting, what I'd like to be able to do is make an image of our installation disc and save it on our server, an remotely install it on other computers in the office.

how would a remote machine be controlled without screen sharing or vnc control if it's booting from a disc or networked volume?
The normal way to mass deploy an upgrade across many macs on a local network is to setup snow leopard server then you create an install image using a copy of a snow leopard disk. You can fully customise the install image with all your 3rd party applications etc. Then you just netboot each mac and the installation is automated.
see Create a Leopard to Snow Leopard Upgrade NetInstall Image
You would setup the server first. then you would have to setup dns correctly, then your users and groups. your sharpoints. Then when you build your image you customise it to suit your new network settings.
