VIDEO_TS meta data for Front Row?

Front Row in Leopard supports playing VIDEO_TS folders. You can also add cover art by saving a file as preview.jpg in the parent directory. The folder structure would be like the following.
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/preview.jpg
/Users/fred/Movies/Cloverfield/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/Cloverfield/preview.jpg
/Users/fred/Movies/Attack of the Killer Tomatoes/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/Attack of the Killer Tomatoes/preview.jpg
This works great, however I was wondering if there is any equivalent method for adding meta-data to VIDEO_TS folders. Obviously you cannot do the normal process of storing it as MPEG4 tags in an MPEG4 video file via iTunes. If it was possible I would presume the most logical method would be to store an XML file in each folder something like this.
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/preview.jpg
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/metadata.xml
/Users/fred/Movies/Cloverfield/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/Cloverfield/preview.jpg
/Users/fred/Movies/Cloverfield/metadata.xml
/Users/fred/Movies/Attack of the Killer Tomatoes/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/Attack of the Killer Tomatoes/preview.jpg
/Users/fred/Movies/Attack of the Killer Tomatoes/metadata.xml
I suspect that unfortunately this is not currently possible but does anyone know for certain?

Unfortunately it looks like currently there is no way to do it and Apple have been sorely neglecting Front Row (it has fallen well behind even the Apple TV which is far from state of the art). As Snow Leopard is concentrating on performance enhancements rather than new features, I do not hold out hope for any significant change for well over a year.
Note: Apple TV is not necessarily a bad product, indeed I bought one for my parents, it is merely like Front Row extremely limited, too limited for many people which is why it sales are (allegedly) so poor. I think the comment raised by more than one pundit that it fails to replace a box under your TV is an extremely important one. It does not replace your DVD player (there are still comparatively few movies on the iTunes store - assuming you are in a country which has any at all), the movies are too expensive compared to DVDs and do not offer either as good quality or as many features. It also fails to replace a video recorder or these days a DVR since it has no TV capabilities. As such it has to be treated as an additional box if at all, and as an additional box it increases the spaghetti factor and thus fails the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) even if it is by far the easiest to use product.
I have therefore switched to using Plex which is a Mac version of XBMC. Plex allows you to use VIDEO_TS folders just like Front Row (indeed the same folders can be used in both), but it does have a built-in 'library' which stores meta-data and artwork for these VIDEO_TS folders and any other videos you might have. It uses plugins called 'scrapers' to search sites like http://www.imdb.com for metadata about the movies, I have even written a 'scraper' to search Amazon for those few DVDs not listed on IMDB.
See http://www.plexapp.com
Since Plex does an excellent job handling VIDEO_TS (i.e. DVDs) it can 'replace' a box - the DVD player and also means the kiddies do not destroy your fragile discs.
PS. Horror of horrors, even Microsoft Media Center is 'better' than Front Row. This is practically the only category Microsoft has actually genuinely earned first place in rather than cheating/bribing/stealing/buying its way to.

  • Issue loading Meta Data for IDoc Type WPUKSR01 in XI Integration Repository

    Hi,
    I want to load the Meta Data for IDoc Type WPUKSR01 in XI Integration Repository out of BI. Unfortunately, this IDoc is not available in the IDoc List. I checked in BI and the IDoc Type is available in WE60 and WE30. Also, I can load the Meta Data for the Idoc in XI ABAP (IDX2).
    Can someone tell me why the IDoc doesn't show up in XI Integration Repository Import Object List?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.

    Hi Aamir,
    The Idoc is released since Release 30A. I also tried to load the IDoc Meta Data from ERP with the same result: it does not show up in the list.
    Thanks anyway.

    Thomas,
    There is a link for a basic IDoc installation that may help.
    [IDocListener|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/bpx-community/manufacturing/how%20to%20send%20an%20idoc%20from%20sap%20ecc%20to%20the%20sap%20mii%20idoc%20listener.pdf]
    One other issue that has occurred to cause problems is registering the program in Visual Administrator.  If you registered the ProgID in Visual Administrator, there will now be two ProgIDs registered (MII does self registration with the RFC Destination upon starting the server).  Delete the registration in VA, if you did it.
    If there are other error messages available, please post them.
    Good luck,
    Mike
    I also just remembered, if you have two ProgIDs that are the same, running on two separate MII instances, you may run into a problem.  Not sure it will have the same symptoms or error messages, but something else to check with (especially when migrating from dev to prod).

  • Remote for front row

    I just upgraded to Leopard and was checking out Front Row. I can use the arrow keys to navigate but since I am on a Powerbook I have no remote or sensor to pickup one. I am curious if there are third-party remotes available for older Macs. I have an EyeTV Hybrid which came with a remote. Is it possible to use something like this with Front Row?

    I too have a Powerbook running Frontrow and I just bought this off eBay for cheap. http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/errf1/ this is a remote made by Keyspan for Frontrow.

  • What is the best older version of iTunes for Front Row?

    Can anyone share some opinions please on which older version of itunes I should download that has the least amount of bugs when using "front row" (I currently have 9.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.5.8)? . Also, should I download the regular version or the 64-bit version? What's the difference/advantage between the two?
    Many-many thanks in advance.

    I am right up there with iTunes biggest proponents, and try and to recruit anyone who will listen...
    I've got about 75 "complete season" Television DVDs, and it was really time consuming to decide which series and episode I wanted to watch by pulling out a box, reading each episode summary that came with the DVD, then take it out of the box, insert it, view it, put it back etc. etc....all for one episode!
    Then I heard about adding video files to iTunes and viewing them via Front Row (or iTunes)...couldn't wait to try it. Was totally won over by Front Row's little opening fanfare and the look of the table of contents/episode screen etc. Every feature worked fine.
    Since downloading 9.0.3 (from either 9.0 or 9.1) however, I inherited that scrolling issue were it skips and jumps to the last TV Show played or occasionally a random episode, and keeps reverting to that one as well. With my previous version, that scrolling issue appeared, but only several times in about a 3 month daily viewing period then stopped doing that altogether. With that version of iTunes, it seemed to stop after I held the up and down buttons on the remote and let it rapidly scroll up and down (from top to bottom) throughout that particular series. That doesn't work now, and even scrolling up and down/back and fourth, full speed ahead, I can see it semi-pause for a split second on a specific episode. This now became constant problem.
    Now a newer problem. I had some misc. TV shows that were catalogued in iTunes as Misc., which front row correctly displayed as such and were properly filed in it's own iTunes folder. I tried to rename that folder, and since then, the iTunes window displays the new name correctly, but Front Row doesn't. I tried dragging that folder to the desktop, creating a new one in the iTunes folder, then dragging those desktop files (sans folder) into the new one and it's still back to square one! I've got about 840 TV shows, with 145 GB of free space remaining.
    Again, thanks all for your help.

  • Error in receiving tableview data for selected row

    Hi Collegues ,
    We plan to realize an application for the maintanance of  planning data . In the first step we created a value help page by using a tableview with iterator class ( 1 of the 3 methods of the Interface was filled with logic ) . We don't use any controller for that application  .
    A global internal table with the relevant help value data ( fgrvalues ) is used for the tableview and the call is :
    TYPE I .
    +CLASS CL_HTMLB_MANAGER DEFINITION LOAD.
    CLEAR ONCLICKEVENT.
    IF EVENT_ID = CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>EVENT_ID.
        EVENT_DATA = CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_EVENT( REQUEST ).
        IF ( EVENT_DATA IS NOT INITIAL ) AND
                ( EVENT_DATA->EVENT_TYPE = 'click' ) .
                ONCLICKEVENT = EVENT_DATA->SERVER_EVENT .
        ENDIF.
    ENDIF.+
    CASE ONCLICKEVENT.
    WHEN 'take' .
       TABLE ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA( REQUEST = REQUEST
       NAME = 'tableView'
       ID = 'fgr1_vhelp' ) .
       TABLE_EVENT = TABLE->DATA.
       IF TABLE_EVENT->SELECTEDROWINDEX IS NOT INITIAL.
          ROWSELECTION = TABLE_EVENT->SELECTEDROWINDEX.  
    -> ROWSELECTION - Content is now the index of the selected tableview row
    We always get the selected row in TABLE_EVENT->SELECTEDROWINDEX and the table TABLE_EVENT->ALLCOLUMNNAMES filled ( column ZX_FGR1 is the 2nd column ) 
    but we never got the tableview data for that tableview row no matter what we tried . We tried it with a tableview-event fired on 'rowselection' by user line-selection . We have deactivated the iterator or changed the BPS design value . With the same result - nothing was given back .
    We found that the System-Call Return value of :
    +system-call ict
    did
    ihttp_scid_get_form_field
    parameters

            VALUE = COLUMN_VALUE -> Column Value is empty !!+
       +CALL METHOD TABLE_EVENT->GET_SIMPLE_DATA ....
             -> Column Value is empty !!+ *----
    What could be the reason for that problem ? In generally it must be possible somehow to read the tableview data for one or all rows of the mentioned tableview .
    We hope that someone can help and are very thankful for a hint or solution . If you need more details please let us know .
    Please Remark: It's no solution for us to read the data by using the created internal table fgrvalues and the selectedrowindex cause in a later step we plan to update an ODS table with the manual modified planning data of an editable tableview .
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi collegues ,
    It's done .
    After we've got a very helpful little hint from Brian :
    The <htmlb:tableView> renders a table to the browser. It does not keep a copy of the table. The browser will also never return the table. Never. What it can return are inputfields for each cell. But then only if each cell is custom rendered as an inputfield.
    we could certainly solve the problem .
    We set the field we want to get back from table view on not editable inputfield via the tableview-iterator method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START :
    DATA: LCL_TABLE       TYPE REF TO CL_BSP_BEE_TABLE   ,
          LCL_INPUTFIELD2 TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_INPUTFIELD .
    CASE P_COLUMN_KEY .
    WHEN 'ZX_FGR1'.
    *    Field Firm Group
         CREATE OBJECT LCL_INPUTFIELD2.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->ID        = P_CELL_ID.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->WIDTH     = '100%'.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->MAXLENGTH = 4.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->TYPE      = 'STRING'.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->DESIGN    = 'STANDARD'.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->DISABLED  = 'TRUE'.
         LCL_INPUTFIELD2->VALUE =
             GET_COLUMN_VALUE( COLUMN_NAME = 'ZX_FGR1').
         P_REPLACEMENT_BEE     = LCL_INPUTFIELD2 .
    Now the method in OnInputPorcessing:
    TRY.

                ROW_IDX       = TABLE_EVENT->SELECTEDROWINDEX
                COL_NAME      = 'ZX_FGR1'
              CHANGING
                DATA          = FGRVALUES_LINE-ZX_FGR1 .

    works properly as it should be ...

  • Using my TV for Front Row

    First of all, apologies if this question has been asked before. I did search for it, but couldn't find it anywhere.
    I have an iMac on my desk, and right next to my desk I have a 32" Samsung HD TV (Model No: LE32C450). As I don't have a DVD player for my TV, I was wondering if there was any way that I could connect my iMac to my TV for watching movies using Front Row? And before anyone says it, I know I could just buy a DVD player for like £20, but I wouldn't just be using this for DVDs.
    Now, I'm not all that good with the technical side of stuff, such as which cables and adapters I'd need, or if I'd need any special software and things like that. My iMac has a Mini DisplayPort, and my TV has 3 HDMI slots, and according to the manual for the TV, one of them is DVI.
    I know it's possible to use a TV as a monitor, but would it work for what I want? The iMac doesn't seem to have an Audio Out slot, so I guess I couldn't use my TV's speakers? And would the resolution be good enough for things like movies? I believe the TV is 720p (so not full HD) if that makes any difference. Basically, I don't want to spend money on this if the picture and/or sound are going to be poor.
    Sorry for such a long question, but any help would be much appreciated. If you need any more info, just ask and I'll do my best.
    Thanks

    Actually, it's a little more complicated than Kappy suggests. "Pairing" the remote means only ONE remote will control the device that's been paired. However, that same remote will still control other devices. So, unless you have two remotes and can pair each one with one device (computer & Apple TV), one device will still receive stray commands.
    If you do have two remotes, then pair one to the Apple TV and the other to the MacBook. Then they won't get confused. Pairing a remote with the Apple TV does NOT appear in Mac OS X help at least not in either Mac I checked. However, pairing a remote with a computer does:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8993.html
    Pairing your remote with the Apple TV:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1555
    If you only have one remote, in the MacBook's Security System Preferences, check on the option to disable the built-in IR receiver. With the receiver off, the MacBook won't react to any signals from the Apple TVs remote.

  • Get Meta Data for Structures used in RFCs

    On Monday I asked in another thread, how to retrieve table meta data using RFCs (Get Table Meta Data with RFC)
    Having a closer look on what information I got I realized, that this wasn't the exact information I was looking for, although the answers from Ferry have been very good.
    What I am actually looking for isn't meta information of tables, but information about the "Associated Type" that is associated with every import, export, or table parameter of a function module.
    If I double-click on one of those types in transaction se37 after choosing a function module, I get a wonderful overview about the structure including 'component', 'component type', 'data type', 'length', etc.
    Is there an RFC I can call that gives me exactly this meta information by giving an associated type?
    Best,
    Stefan

    Thanks Glen
    I had a look on the proposed function module.
    The good thing, it gives me information about the parameter naming for example table name and field name.
    But it won't give me more detailed information about the table and the field.
    Nevertheless
    RFC1::RFC_GET_NAMETAB seems to give me what I need. So your call for RFC1 and RFC2 was a good one.
    Thanks again.

  • Aliases of movie files in ~Movies/ for Front Row usage

    Hi everyone.
    In the first place I apologise for my bad English.
    I want one applescript for folder action wich will make an aliases of all movie files (.mov, .avi, .mpeg, .mpeg, .divx ,etc.) in freshly mounted CD/DVD/HD in ~Movies/ folder because I want to play those files in Front Row.
    Another Script is needed for deleting unwanted aliases upon unmounting that CD/DVD/HD.
    I figured out that all CD/DVD/HD are mounted in /Volumes folder, and I created such two scripts:
    On mounting drive:
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
    try
    tell application "Finder"
    make new alias file to these_items at "Macintosh HD:Users:USERNAME:Movies:" with properties {name:"Movie"}
    end tell
    end try
    end adding folder items to
    On unmounting drive:
    on removing folder items from this_folder after losing these_items
    try
    tell application "Finder"
    delete alias file "Macintosh HD:Users:USERNAME:Movies:Movie"
    end tell
    end try
    end removing folder items from
    I attached those two scripts as /Volumes folder action and they are working good, but there is a problem.
    When I mount CD, and then when I connect my iPod, alias of CD is moving to trash and new alias to iPod is created with same name. Also, when I connect iPod, and then CD and then I disconnect iPod alias to CD is moving to trash. ****, that's not quite what I am looking for.
    Apparently I have and idea, but I lack experience with applescript.
    Creating alias script should work like that:
    on mounting drive in filesystem
    1) Scanning about 2 levels for QT supported files
    2) Making alias to each movie file in those 2 levels in ~Movies/
    3) Adding constant Spotlight comment (for alias removing purposes in other script) to those alias files in ~Movies/
    Removing unwanted Aliases:
    on unmounting drive from filesystem
    1) Scanning ~Movies/ For alias files with constant spotlight comment
    2) removing those alias files (moving to trash preferably, for security purposes)
    This way script would make only good aliases, and there could be multiple drives mounting into system. Apparently, after unmounting any drive aliases with constant spotlight comment will be moved to trash, but I don't have any idea for that.
    Can someone help me?

    Hello imrik,
    Firstly, I don't use OSX myself, so the rest of this post is based upon my experience under OS9 and some knowledge from OSX documentations, etc.
    Folder Actions suite (terms for Folder Action's handler) is defined in StandardAdditions.osax, that is located at (probably):
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions/StandardAdditions.osax
    In brief, the dictionary states (under OS9):
    on adding folder items to fda after receiving aa
    -- fda is alias of the folder that receives new item(s)
    -- aa is list of aliase(s) the folder fda received
    end adding folder items to
    on removing folder items from fda after losing nn
    -- fda is alias of the folder that loses item(s)
    -- nn is list of aliase(s) or list of item name(s) the folder fda loses.
    end removing folder items from
    * Open the dictionary of the OSAX in Script Editor for more details.
    As far as I can tell (under OS9.1, AS1.8.3), 'removing folder items' handler always provides list of names that the folder loses, in spite of the description in OSAX dicitonary.
    I don't know the reason why 'removing folder items' handler provides {} in 'after losing' argument in your environment. It should provide list of names of unmounted volumes (unless '/Volumes/' directory is something so special as to deceive Folder Action Server in some way.)
    (Possibly your method to check the handler's arguments is not appropriate.)
    If you want to check the class of value/object in AppleScript, the proper way is to use a code such as SCRIPT1:
    -- SCRIPT1
    set x to (path to desktop) -- alias
    --set x to {1,2,3} -- list
    set c to class of x
    display dialog ("" & c) -- this will show class name string of x.
    return c -- this will return class of x in result window (when run in Script Editor).
    -- END OF SCRIPT1
    And to check the contents of value/object, you may try SCRIPT2 (for AppleScript's native value/object):
    -- SCRIPT2
    -- in target script (run in e.g. Applet or Folder Actions)
    set x to {1, 2, 3}
    tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
    activate
    set the clipboard to x
    end tell
    -- in checker script (run in Script Editor)
    set y to the clipboard
    return y -- y is given in result window of Script Editor.
    -- END OF SCRIPT2
    So as a whole, you may try something like SCRIPT3 as your test Folder Action and SCRIPT3A as its corresponding checker:
    -- SCRIPT3
    on adding folder items to fda after receiving aa
    tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
    activate
    set the clipboard to {fda, aa}
    display dialog ("" & (class of aa) & return & (class of (aa's item 1)))
    end tell
    end adding folder items to
    on removing folder items from fda after losing nn
    tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
    activate
    set the clipboard to {fda, nn}
    display dialog ("" & (class of nn) & return & (class of (nn's item 1)))
    end tell
    end removing folder items from
    -- END OF SCRIPT3
    -- SCRIPT3A (to be run in Script Editor)
    set y to the clipboard
    return y -- clipboard contents is displayed in result window of Script Editor.
    -- END OF SCRIPT3A
    That's all for now.
    Good luck,

  • Setting poster frame for front row

    i am in the process of putting a bunch of videos on my hard drive to use in front row. the problem i am having is that front row basically shows the 1st frame as the poster frame. so i have no clue what the episode is about.
    if i set the poster frame in quicktime pro and then save it it saves it as a .mov file. my videos are .mp4. how can i change it so it saves them as .mp4 or does this really not make a difference ?

    Thanks for the answer. Didn't think about that. Guess my brain is still formatted as Windows.
    Though I don't get the preview:

    I have checked the "Show icon preview" in the View Menu, and relaunching Finder didn't help.
    Neither does removing the .DS_Store (Terminal).
    Tried with a few JPG's.

    Hi All,
    We are having an issue at the moment (I cant go into detail) and would like to know if there is any way to pull the meta data from an e-mail to see when it was moved from the main inbox to another folder.  I dont even know if this is possible to get but thought this is the best place to ask.
    We are running outlook 2013 on windows 7 and it is an excahnge account (hosted no local)
    Thanks for the help in advance
