What file was requested when play() is ran on the client

I have been looking for a way to tell what file was requested from within a VOD app when a video is played.  I want to use the file name for something else but I dont want to have to send it with a second argument in connect().
Is it possible to tell what file is requested??? If so how can I do this??

well to do so you will have to write server side code to look at the stream and then request
the name its in the serverside language refrence.....after you get the name you will have to call to the client with the name.....sending the name through oncConnect probably has the least over head.

  • What file formats can itunes play?

    After looking at hundreds of posts, I got fed up and decided to ask these questions. What file formats does itunes play and how can you change/adjust them? I thought there was a place to do this when I installed itunes, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, but my question is still unanswered, I want to know how to associate different file types with iTunes, maybe I am not asking the question correctly, or don't know the terminology. I know that my real player can be made to associate different file types from the tools menu, I check off the boxes with the different extensions, like, .mp3, wav, midi, .ogg, etc... I thought there was a feature like this on iTunes, but I can't find it, is it only available when I install it?

  • Can smbody please tell me what to do to my iPhone 4s, when playing music or ringer, the sound will just stop without stop it.. I am really getting tired of this...

    Can smbody please tell me what to do to my iPhone 4s, when playing music or ringer, the sound will just stop without stop it.. I am really getting tired of this...

    After updating to iOS6, I lost all sound for apps like YouTube, Netflix, games, and even notifications. The only time sound worked was during a phone call or when the head set was plugged in.
    I did a full back up and restore- sound restored but only for a day before the problem returned.
    Called Apple Support and was advised to do another restore, but this time restore it as NEW first, then do the restore from back up.
    Seemed to do the trick.
    Here are the instructions of what I was given- hopefully this will help you too:
    Here is a link about backing up your iPhone with iTunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you back up your device you will want to restore it.
    You will need to have iTunes open on your computer screen.
    Please turn your iPhone off.
    Press and hold the Home Button.
    Continue to hold the Home Button as you plug you iPhone in to the usb cable.
    You will want to continue to hold the Home button until you get a screen with the message "device found in recovery mode".
    Please follow the prompts and restore device as NEW.
    once the restore is done you will have to set up the device and test the sound.
    If it works you will then need to restore the device from the back up to restore your user settings.
    You can find the instructions how to restore from back up also from the the link I provided.

  • What do I do when my ipod shows me the white apple logo but doesn't start?

    what do I do when my ipod shows me the white apple logo but dosent start? by the way it ran out of battery but when I plug it in this happens.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After purchasing the Export PDF Online software when I attempt to perform a "File/Save As" when viewing a document on the web it locks up windows explorer.  I receive "FIle Save As - Not Responding"

    After purchasing the Export PDF Online software when I attempt to perform a "File/Save As" when viewing a document on the web it locks up windows explorer.  I receive "FIle Save As - Not Responding"

    I think you may be correct.  It is coincidental with my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10.
    I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)
    It may be an Adobe Reader problem in that the "tools/file save as" dialog is completely empty. No local directories are displayed for saving to.   When I try to Close(X) the "File Save As" box it pops up a message box on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding"  It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
    I need to go go Task Manager and stop the IE task.  All my browser windows are then closed.
    That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.

  • When playing YouTube in background the phone stays on and does not auto lock and if it is auto locked and you receive a text it will stay on / lit even in the lock screen

    Mine and my wifes iphon 5s is having way too many problems for today's technology, when using iTunes music app from the lock screen if you press pause from the lock screen it stays the same not like before when you paused the music the play buttons would disappear but now they just stay there, and when playing YouTube videos in the background from safari and the phone is in lock screen and you receive a text the screen will stay lit until you turn it off yourself and also the same thing happens in the home screen if your playing YouTube from safari in the background the phone won't auto dim of auto lock after any amount of time it will stay on forever these problems need to be fixed, also the wifi is not working like it used to and the LTE and 3G data are slow, slower then the 3GS when ios 6 came out. Please fix thank you, loyal customers for 8 years and own almost every product you sell, thanks again

    Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • What do I do when I can not find the curser

    what do I do when I can not find the curser

    The esc key will hide the cursor, hitting the esc key again will reveal it.
    So try hitting the esc key and then move the mouse (or swipe the track pad). If there is no cursor visible anywhere, do the same thing again.

  • For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed?

    For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed ?  This has happened for the past two days.  I have changed nothing.  It happens at home and at work.  What do you do?  What has happened?  Thank you.

    What are you trying to do when you get this error message? Is it related to mail, connecting to the iTunes store, Facebook/iMessage, your internet ISP? All of these are different servers.
