Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players?

Hi,
... and thank you in advance for taking the time to respond. I am evaluating different protocls for different client platforms, and I'd like to know the following...
Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players? (It appears that RTMP does. However, what about HDS? What about HLS?)
Why is it that some do and some don't? (Intuitively, this would seem to be more an issue of the player than the protocol, but then maybe it has something to do with the buffers and the specific information passed to the client.)
For those protocols that do support frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players, does the addition of Access DRM protection have any effect? (Intuitively, I would say no, but then maybe there are configuration changes needed in AMS to make it work.)
Thanks!

I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

Can the Flash Player do frame accurate seeking when using the HDS protocol?

Hi all,
... and thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. I've been playing with different media serving protocols, and I have a couple of questions.
1. Can the Flash Player do frame accurate seeking when media is served via the HDS protocol? (I know it works using RTMP)
2. If it does work, is it impacted in any way if I also use Access DRM-Core or Access DRM-Professional? (I want stronger DRM protection than simple Access Protected Streaming)
Thanks!

Hello Simona_83. Try downloading Google Chrome (it's free). Install Flash Player via Chrome, and use Chrome as your browser. This is the only thing that worked for me after over a month of trying everything under the sun to get Flash Player working again. You'll have to use Chrome as your browser in order to have Flash Player capability, but so what. It works. If it works for you as it works for me, you will have Youtube again; you just have to access Youtube via Chrome. Don't waste hours of your life trying to get Flash Player to work any other way. Believe me, I wasted hours upon hours off and on over the course of a month trying to get Flash Player installed and operating.

Which SQL Server protocol is needed to communicate with Biztalk, Sharepoint, CRM, etc ...?

Hello,
I just noticed that I have not configured the named pipes protocol for my Biztalk instance.
I search a list of SQL Server protocols needed by product.
For Biztalk, I now know that we need to enable TCP / IP, named pipes and disable shared memory.
Is it the same for Sharepoint and CRM?
I can’t find docs on protocols to enable / disable by product.
Thank you in advance
maxime

Hi moi,
According to your description, for SharePoint, you must enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. After you have installed SQL Server, you must set the following ports to communicate through Windows Firewall, such as
TCP 1433 ,TCP 1434 , and UDP 1434. For more information about configuring SharePoint access services, you can review the following article.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12514.sharepoint-2013-access-services.aspx
For connecting to SQL Server when installing CRM, you need to enable “Named Pipes” protocol; If you want to connect to SQL Server remotely , you also need to enable “TCP/IP” protocol in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
There is more information about network protocol, you can review the following article.

Dynamic Link Media Server error - lost video reference file and can't replace

I've had this problem twice in the last 4 days and both times it's coincided with an internet drop-out in the office. I've imported an uncompressed QT .mov into Audition CC, splitting the video and audio tracks, and added both to a multitrack session. I'm using the video reference track to sync SFX to an animation. The problem is that the video track stops playing in the video window, and Audition crashes. We've had problems with our internet connection and this problem occured when the internet dropped out. I wait for the internet to come back online and restart Audition, and get the following message:
"This file can only be imported using the Dynamic Link Media Server process, but it is still starting and cannot yet be used. Please wait while the process initializes and we import the selected files."
The app takes 30 seconds to load and my video reference track has disappeared and is labelled "Offline". I can't replace it in the multitrack timeline, even if I try to reimport the original .mov file into the project it only displays the file as audio with no video. I'm not using Premier and don't need to sync between apps, I just need Audition to recognise a video track on my local hard drive.
FYI: I'm running OS X 10.9.1 with Audition CC and have turned on "Enable DMLS Format support" in preferences.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm thinking of reverting to Ableton!

Is this DMLS update ok for CC apps? RE: 10.9.1, looks like that update is for Mac Pro late 2013 machines, I'm running off a Mac Pro from 2010. Sounds like it wont be compatible?
On the 'about' link it says at the top "The OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update is recommended for all OS X Mavericks users." Sounds pretty unequivocal to me. You'd need absolute confirmation from Durin, but I can't on the face of it see why the latest version of DMLS wouldn't be compatible with the previous version - IOW, it should be fine. If either isn't, then they should refuse to install. But with the way that Apple has screwed up Mavericks, in all honesty, all bets are off about that, and I'm glad that I'm a W7 PC user.
I've wasted quite a lot of time lately fixing several ridiculous problems with Macs, including Mountain Lion's amazing ability to trash Wifi, etc, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed with them at all. So it's not blind prejudice, or even blatent bias this time either - FWIW I'm similarly underwhelmed with Windows 8.

Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise and SSDT -- which SQL Server version(s) targetted for SSIS and SSRS

With Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Preview, I see that Sql Server Data Tools (SSDT) are included. What I need to know is, when I create an Integration Services Package or Reporting Serivces report, on which versions of SQL Server can the result be
deployed?
e.g. Can I deploy an SSIS package created this way on Sql Server 2008R2? 2012? 2014?
If all three, how to I tell Visual Studio the target environment for the package?

I think, SSDT BI templates for VS2015 is not available yet. If it's available or yet to come please post the URL if you have got details about it.
Below recent thread should answer your question. Please see last reply by Katherine.

Turning Media Server on makes Lenovo EZ Media and Backup Center un-usable

I have a Lenovo EZ MEdia and BAckup Center. It was sent to me (under warranty) to replace an Iomega model which failed.
If I turn on Media Server the device becomes un-usable. Logging onto the device and then selecting any operation takes 5 to 10 Minutes for each interaction. All windows network drives configured to the device become inaccessible.
When I turn it off then I can access all my windows networked drives again and I can log on and interact with the device without problem. Obviously anything which needs the media server function can no longer see the device.
I have the latest firmware 4.1.106.31982
This problem really needs fixing. I will be looking for another device if this carries on

Hello wafitz
I seems you are experiencing a variation of this issue "Media scan causes the device interface to become unavailable".
I have also seen similar situations that happened when data is added to the unit when media server is enabled.
This could cause media server to potentially lock and cause performance issues to the rest of the unit.

Media server location(s)

I am currently testing the functionality for ACS4 and would like to know if it is at all possible to specify more than one media download location. We have users in remote areas and they will use our store to buy the e-books, but we would prefer to keep the original encrypted documents on a media server closer to their location. We would then decide which media server mirror to use based on the user's credentials. I tried tweaking the resourceItemInfo\src tag in the acsm file that is generated by the store to see if this can point ADE to a different server but get an error when trying to download the document. Is this possible at the moment?

Hannes

Hi,
Did you enable the WMM(Wirless multimedia),multicast also .
It should work after that.
Good Luck !!!!
Thanks

Workaround for remote with Apple TV + Mac Mini media server?

We have to keep unplugging and then replugging our Apple TV 2 any time we want to use our Mac Mini media server instead of the Apple TV on our home entertainment system. Alas, the lack of a power button.
The reason we have to do this is because the remote control signals are identical for the two units; we're using Plex TV on the Mac Mini, and when we use our universal remote, if the Apple TV is on, then unintended things happen in the background on the Apple TV any time we control the Plex media server. Ack. We could end up buying a video that we don't want.
What workarounds are there, to avoid plugging and unplugging the Apple TV, if we want to keep using a remote control with both the Apple TV and with the Mac Mini media server? I understand that plugging and unplugging it is not desireable.
On the other hand, we do shut off power completely to our entire entertainment system, via the power conditioner, when we're not using it, to conserve. I suppose that's equivalent to plugging and unplugging the Apple TV?
Your thoughts?

I know its been 17 months since anyone replied to your post, but I stumbled upon your request, because I had the same issue. However, I can faithfully say that I solved this same problem, because I inadvertendly programmed my MX-980 remote to control my Apple TV and Mac Mini at the same time and didn't realize until much later what was happening. I use my Mac Mini (for the purpose of using PLEX) and my Apple TV for other purposes. Here's a discussion I had over at remotecontrol.com about it.
The solution for you is have two Apple remotes. You can buy an extra apple remote at a good price over at Amazon.
Out of box, the apple remote is designed to pair with your Mac and Apple TV as long as pairing is enabled on those machines by default. However, it's the consumer's responsibility to physically pair that remote with the machine you want to control so it can't control any other machine. That's the trick you were missing...
So, if you have an Apple TV and Mac Mini next to each other -- a single Apple Remote will control BOTH machines at the same time out of box. This is not the intended result as you have indicated. Therefore you need two apple remotes.
Mac Mini: Once you have two apple remotes, go to your Mac Mini (OSX 10.9) and select under the Apple menu > Preferences > Security > General > Click unlock (bottom left corner) first > sign in > Then click Advanced... to see the Pairing process. If you click advanced *before* you click unlock icon, the pairing menu will be missing.
Note: You can also install free CandleAir preference for your Mac which is a slick interface for configuring apple remotes faster and easier IMHO. http://www.iospirit.com/labs/candelair/
Apple TV: Now take your second Apple Remote, go to Apple TV > Preferences > General > Remote and follow the on screen instructions to properly pair your remote control.
This should solve your problem.

Please somebody help Flash Media Server 4

I've installed Flash Media Server 4 (I tried on i686 and x86 with CentOS)
also have uploaded applications to /opt/adove/fms/applications/test
here what I see in log files:
Connection rejected by server. Reason : [ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (test/_definst_) is not a valid signed application; loading access denied.
please somebody help

Are you sure that you are using adminconsole from location which mamata specified and not using some old adminconsole from you previous installation or something. I suspect you might be using older adminconsole.swf
You can also get same information using getLicenseInfo Admin command.
Please change your Users.xml to all getLicenseInfo or All. Open Users.xml under conf directory and you should find below text:
<AdminServer>
<HTTPCommands>




<Enable>${USERS.HTTPCOMMAND_ALLOW}</Enable>




<Allow>ping</Allow>



<Deny>All</Deny>





<Order>Deny,Allow</Order>
</HTTPCommands>
</AdminServer>
</Root>
Now change above content to below content:
<AdminServer>
<HTTPCommands>




<Enable>${USERS.HTTPCOMMAND_ALLOW}</Enable>




<Allow>All</Allow>



<Deny></Deny>





<Order>Deny,Allow</Order>
</HTTPCommands>
</AdminServer>
</Root>
Once you made the change , restart FMS and FMS Admin Server.
Once both services are restarted, open a browser and put following text in address bar and hit enter (replace necessary stuff like server-ip,AdminUserId and AdminUserPassword to your FMS ip, FMS Admin User and FMS Admin Password respectively)
http://<serverip>:1111/admin/getLicenseInfo?auser=<AdminUserId>&apswd=<AdminUserPassword>
Result displayed should have which edition you are using.

Enable Bit-Accurate Recording (Other post maybe in wrong pla

Ok a little confused. I have Adobe Audition and Audgy 2 Platinum EX and need a high a quality true-to-original recording. A few questions:
. Should I set "enable bit-accurate recording" and why if so
2. If I set Bit accurate recording and the Input via SPDIF is 6 bit @ 48 KHz should I set Adobe Audition to record at this also? Since adobe recommends always recording in 32 bit mode.
Thanks

I had forgotten I had this topic started in the first place.... LOL
Well, as I have said in my original message, I normally don't have the need to play .wav files that are coded in DD or DTS, so the fact that this is on/off at any time have little to do with my normal uses. I have no trouble getting the SPDIF signals to my speakers using the other playback media such as MP3s, regular .wav, CDs and DVDs, they all work normally as they should.
So that was just a bit of a curiosity on my part.

MPD on media server, Sonata on clients, how to listen?

So I finally got organized and built myself a new media server to host all my music and videos (on Arch of course). I really like MPD, but the problem I'm having now is how to actually listen to its output. Right now I have Sonata on the clients which control mpd on the server, then I output to an icecast stream and I use mplayer on the clients to hear the music. While this works ok, it can be a real hassle sometimes. There's a delay between changes made in Sonata and when they finally make it through the stream. If you change the playlist the stream will stop and you have to manually restart mplayer.
I've heard some people use PulseAudio over network to get around this, but I don't want PA to be a dependency for every computer on the network. Before I start writing a new module for Sonata that will manage mplayer for me, does anyone have a more intuitive way of listening to a remote mpd server?

I'd love to find a simpler solution for that, too (if possible).
Tido wrote:is there anything simpler/lighter than mplayer?
Of course there is, you could try moc or any of the other CLI audio players mentioned on the lightweight software wiki page or the Useful Applications page.

Can I use the Time Capsule as a media server

As many, I have hundreds of CDs. I was hoping I could store all of my music on the time capsule as well as movies I have purchased and pictures, and use it as a media server. I've heard yes and no in other forums. Any ideas?

The Time Capsule is a dumb hard drive with no brains. It is not a media server and will not ever be one.
If you want to put your music and movies on the Time Capsule, you can do so, just like you could place them on any external hard drive.
But, you will need to have a DLNA server running somewhere else on your network to be able to do anything with the data on the Time Capsule.
Best to use the Time Capsule as it was designed and intended.....for backups....not any active or everyday files.
Speaking of backups, if you place your music and movie files on the Time Capsule.....how will you then back up those files to another hard drive?

EA4500 - Serviio Media Server Setup

I have Serviio Media server on my Windows 7 PC and I want to view files using my iPad. This worked for me before I upgraded my network to the EA4500. Does anyone have step by step instuctions on how to make Serviio work using the EA4500? I think I have to "open" up a couple of ports, but not sure how to do that with the EA4500 UI. Thanks.

Is the router on Smart Wi-fi firmware right now or still on the Classic? It is best to obtain the ports for the Serviio by calling their tech support. If the router is still on the Classic firmware, you go to Applications and Gaming and do port range forwarding for the Serviio. For the Smart Wifi firmware, you click Security on the side panel and click Apps and Gaming and then go to Port Range Forwarding. I found a link for Serviio setup in google, click here.

Media server gone after v1.0.02 E4200

I have been at this for hours now I refomatted the drive 2x and had it back once or twice until I transfer some videos and pictures to the drive then its gone. I have rebooted the router several times and the media server is GONE. FTP uploads and downloads work fine.
I noticed a new Twonkey interface in my webrowser in the short while the media server was working. This is driving me crazy.
please fix the E4200 media server in .02 firmware

I was also able to reproduce this problem and I also saw that it displayed random letters in the media server webpage when using a San Disk USB. I'll let the engineers know
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.
