Yahoo webplayer continuously "buffering" and never plays local files

I installed the yahoo webplayer to play mp3's on the html page. Works fine on the net. Playing local files, it is continuously buffereing and doesn't play. In DW live view, the css box in the right hand corner flashes as the flash screen operates. The flash screen moves at half speed. It appears that the webplayer is somehow interfering with the flash and vice versa. Anybody seen this before?

Most likely a pathing issue.
... Have no idea what a "yahoo webplayer to play mp3's" is or how it works.
But the action (or in-action) you are describing sounds like the player is not finding the audio file... most likely because the path to the mp3 is wrong, relative to the player.
Only guessing... since there is no way for us to know what your "working" version of the embedding mp3 player code is without a link to the actual Web page...
but an online player, will almost NEVER be able to find any content on your local machine....

Windows media player plugin loads up, then just says "ready" and never plays the file. what do i do?

Whenever I use the internal WM plug-in, it loads up, then the status in the player reads "Ready" and never downloads/plays the file.

Hi Lindsay.
The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player MozillaZine "Windows Media Player" KB doc] explains installation and troubleshooting in-depth including a link to test the plugin, which should help you solve this problem.
Do note - if your Windows 7 OS is a 64-bit version, make sure that the plugin actually ends up in the Mozilla Firefox plugin folder (default '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\'''). There are reports of the plugin (or actually Firefox) ending up in the wrong folder. 64-bit Windows systems has 2 Program Folder locations - "Program Files" for 64-bit applications, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit applications.
Also note that the Windows Media Player is required to use the plugin - if WMP has been uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, the plugin will not work.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding

Spotify won't play local files in newer version (w/o ffmpeg-spotify)

Hi,
I have recently updated Spotify from AUR to version 0.9.4.183-1 (updated 2013-10-10) and I'm not able to play local files anymore (I was before). Package maintainer says that the major changes in the last version is that ffmpeg-spotify is not needed anymore to play local files (and so it has been marked as outdated), so I guess it has something to do with this fact. Actually, having or not having installed ffmpeg-spotify does not make any difference.
Just for the record, I am using PulseAudio, and when I try to play a local file, I can see in the log the following message:
19:03:25.415 I [audio_driver_linux.cpp:18 ] Using PulseAudio
Yep, that's all.
Is this happening to anyone else? Does anybody knows how is Spotify supposed to play local files without ffmpeg?
Thanks a lot.

Well, funny enough, I've found the solution the minute after I posted the question. To play local files, the necessary package is ffmpeg-compat (in official repo). So I guess this should be added as a dependency of the spotify AUR package?
Hope this helps someone.

Cant play local files on mobile

Posting again and hoping for a response before I have to cancel Premium because of it. Hello, I have a Droid Razr M, and I can't play my local files on my Android phone. I have premium, and when I download a playlist/songs to my phone, they come up as (Song Name) Unknown Artist, Unknown Album, and completely grey instead of white with the Dowload Icon next to them. My Phone and my Desktop Spotify are sync'd and I switch between them often.
I used to have success transferring files when working off my Macbook Air to my phone, but no such luck with my HP desktop. I do not have the Macbook anymore so it isn't a solution to this problem. I have connected my phone to my PC yet it does nothing within the Spotify window. When I'm playing a local file on the PC and I try to switch to mobile using connect, it just black screens and I have to back arrow out of that to get back to my playlist, where it resumes fine playing no song. This was not a problem a couple patches ago, yet it may make me unsubscribe because it is my most essential value to my Spotify experience. I will provide more information to solve the problem, if necessary

Yeh it won't sync local files under the latest version of Android.
It's not that it doesnt actually sync it, but on the phone on android. There is no option for local files.
It doesn't come up. Tho it is on the computer Spotify app.
The only way to do it, is to make a playlist. Drag everything from local files into the playlist. Then sync.
You can even click offline mode for what its worth. Obviously its already on the computer as its local files.
It seems files that are not on Spotify are faded out. It is very inconsistent about it. But none the less you can play everything.
Once you have it all on your new shiny playlist. Sync it to the phone. And just sync that playlist which just has local files.
There is no way to work out the bitrate of the files on the spotify app for Andoid, so I can see the kbps. So I know if it is a local version or what the sound quality is either. Anyway you can sync local files only through making a playlist.
The problem lies in the Spotify app. It has the option to click sync local files. And it actually does it, but this is useless as there is no way to search or play these files unless they are in a playlist on the latest Android App. And because it isn't in a playlist you cannot play it.
So yeh Make playlist. Copy Local Files into Playlist. Sync Android Phone with that Playlist. You can now play local files.

Trying to stream videos just spool and never play

Hi,
Like most people, my Apple TV (2) used to work fine and then after the latest updates (and an apparent lack of software testing by Apple before they release it nowadays) it has become next to useless.
My Home Sharing is all turned on, firewalls off, etc (I'm not an amatuer) and I can see my music, movies, TV programmes and everything else BUT if I try to watch or listen to anything I just get the rotating asterix in the middle of the screen and it never plays.
Anyone - please help or it's going to have to go back.

The problem here is that real Audiobooks (such as those you download from iTunes or Audible) are specially formatted to support audiobook features like chapters, resuming playback at the correct place, etc. When you rip a CD, iTunes can't tell if it is an audiobook or music and defaults to treating it as music.
The solution for Mac users is an application called AudioBook Builder (http://www.splasm.com/audiobookbuilder/). It's a little $10 app that correctly organizes and tags audiobooks and converts audiobook CDs into "real" audiobooks for iPod. Highly recommended, this thing is worth it after one book.
There is probably a similar solution for Windows, but I don't use that, sorry.

Why does all videos keep buffering and not play

Why do videos keep buffering and play when I select them?

I am in Florida, and have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering. So we decided to use direct hook up.
I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
This will also happen when watching movies.
Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

AVI's (10bit) made with Digital Rapids say 'Media Pending' and never play on PC

I am running all 3 versions of Premiere Pro on our work PC (CS6, CC, and CC2014). We use this system to edit AVI's made with
Digital Rapids Stream 3.7.47. Before, we could load any AVI and it would read 'Media Pending' for a few seconds then load right up.
Now, it sits on the yellow screen and never loads. I've tried 6 or 7 different AVI's and none worked in any of the 3 versions of Premiere. The only glimmer
of hope was one loaded on After Effects CC2014, but that's it.
So, I should also mention these are 10 bit AVI's. I HAVE been able to load 8 bit AVI's but the 10 bit are all problematic in Premiere.
Please help... Deadlines approaching...
Thanks!

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

Published F4v video and html plays locally but not online...

I am running Windows 7/64 and Master Collection. I've created a clip of DV NTSC footage to test F4V publishing. Done this many times with CS3 and flv files but this has me stumped. I can successfully view the video and web page locally in IE and Netscape but on upload to my server I have the menu and placement right but no video appears. I created the clip in Premiere Pro CS5 and exported to F4V/FLV best quality. Opened an Actionscript Media DV NTSC template in Flash Pro CS5 and imported the video which I had pre-placed in my root web folder locally. I then exported the swf and saved the fla. All files were then in my root folder and the scrpts in the scripts folder. In Live View in Dreamweaver CS5 all looked fine. In each browser locally the video played as expected. Once all files were uploaded the video was not visible.
The file is located here...
http://www.goodmangraphic.com/2010vid.htm
in the root directory are... Sequence 01_1.f4v, minimaflatcustomcolorall.swf, 2010movie.swf, 2010movie.fla and in the scripts folder, expressinstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on what I may be doing wrong.
John

Ross,
As you suggested I checked the fla and indeed the local path was there so I changed it to it's relative path, then re exported the swf and saved the fla, re-uploading the files. No luck on ability to see online or even local preview. So I then reset the file location to use the actual URL online and that would not work and even in fla showed an error it could not connect to the file. So I reverted to local naming of the file again to test and sure enough it previewed fine locally in both browsers but again reverting to a relative path or http, failed to sucessfully see the video.
I am not having these issues with flv format, just the f4v. As an example here is the flv version using the url in the fla file attributes...
http://www.goodmangraphic.com/2010vid_b.htm
BTW - I simply renamed the extension after duplicatng the file for the video in this example.
Appreciate the help.
John

My IPOD classic 160gb is continually shuffling and not playing

My IPOD classic 160gb is continually shuffling and not playing

Can you elaborate a little? Are you saying that iPod keeps randomly jumping to another song midway through another? There could be many reasons for this.
The first thing you should do is try a hard reset of the device. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Also try the troubleshooting mentioned here.

IPhone doesn't appear as device and sync of local files has stopped working

Oh my god!! why is it so complicated to do something that simple. Add a feature that lets us add our own mp3 directly in spotify with spotify managing them as itunes would (saving in right directory with renaming etc. Make people use your app instead of itunes) And automatically sync the content with devices. It's just too complicated now.. go to prefs add a custom source folder, put all the songs there.. go back to main screen and try to find the iphone (that never appears, I don't even know how to look for it). I never succeeded in adding my mp3. Now I can't see my device anywhere either. I added the song on the desktop app, but with some pain (first tried with itunes source but that doesn't refresh automatically and even if I restarted the app nothing appeared) so I chose the 'folder' source (quick and dirty way to add songs). I added the song to a playlist and tried to sync with my phone (on the same wifi yes).. no nothing happens, the song is there (on the phone) but greyed out (when I click on it it says content not synced, connect the phone on the same wifi bla bla bla) I don't know why it's so complicated.. From the beginning of spotify it never has been userfriendly, even when the phone appeared in device I always had problems and gave up. Hurry up guys! Apple released there own fully integrated streaming service so if we can't play our songs in the same app we will use the one that let us do that. Hopefuly some day we won't have to do this anymore if the streaming services get common and used by everybody, it will put some pressure on artists and they will see that this is the future. Sorry if I may appear rude.. It's getting late and I'm tired.Keep going guys you're doing a great job. But please fix this asap. I'm starting to have a lot of songs that are not on spotify :( And no I don't want to reinstall the iphone app. I don't want to loose my preferences and have to sync my 10gb songs all over again. (Yes I only use spotify localy, I don't have an 'unlimited' data package). Bye :) and as Bon Jovi would say.. ♫♫♫ Have a nice day! ♫♫♫

Until just recently, connection between iPhone app and Windows (7) app has worked fine. I've been able to sync local files to my mobile device. Since two-three weeks ago it hasn't worked. Some Windows updates have been installed and Spotify app has been upgraded. I know I'm on same WiFi and that the iPhone has memory space for the sync, and I'm doing the exact same procedure as always before. I've also tried on both my jobs WiFi and at home. Any ideas?

QT Plugin 7.1.5 can't play local files

I have several webpages that use the embedded quicktime plugin to play movies on the page. These movies are large so they are downloaded to the local machine in advance where the plugin plays them from the local file. This has worked fine until upgrading to the QT Plugin version 7.1.5. With the new version, if I try and play the movie from a local file, the movie wont play, instead I get the quicktime logo with a question mark. I can play the movie just fine from the full quicktime install, or if I use the plugin to stream the video from a url off the server, instead of the local hard drive. This problem exists when viewing the webpage in Internet Explorer 6, I have not tried IE 7 or Firefox yet.
Is there a parameter within the QT Plugin, or within the browser that I need to set to allow playing a local file from a html page served by a remote server, or is this a case where tightened security is going to kill me? Thanks for any suggestions.

The link above is a QuickTime Media Link file. Simple text based URL that will download a very tiny file to the viewers computer (Mac or PC).
It will launch the QuickTIme Player app (bypassing the browser plug-in).
You could use the QuickTime files already on your server (and already being downloaded) as the "source" in the Media Link file so there is no increase in your bandwidth load. Viewers can also load your file (from cache) by clicking on the .qtl file again saving you some bandwidth.

Dmp 4400 can't play local files

I am using a DMP-4400 with firmware v.5.2.2. The unit connects to the network fine and is able to display webpages from the internet without problem; the ftp server is working fine also. However, when I attempt to play any type of local file ( located at /tmp/ftproot/usb_1/) the screen remains blank. I am assuming that the files are being found because the failover URL is not being displayed for either .mpg or .html files. I am using MPEG-1 type video files for testing. I have attached one of these videos along with a sample .html file I am planning to use to loop multiple files.
Video files are being run using:
"/tmp/ftproot/usb_1/melt.mpg" entered into the 'Local Storage Path' dialog under 'Play Video File Stored Locally' within the GUI.
HTML is being launched using:
"file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/play-local-mpg.html" entered into the 'URL' dialog under 'URL To Be Displayed' within the GUI.
These problems persist whether the files are located on internal memory or external USB drive. Any help will be much appreciated.

Peter,
I was able to fix it, The issue seems to be with the content, I transcoded it with VLC Player to MPEG-TS and it works. Kindly find the attached transcoded file.
Use
var playlist = new Array(
"file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/test1.ts"
If this answers your concerns please mark this post as "Answered"

Process local form and write to local file?

I've written a form using alot of JavaScript. It is intended to run on a local machine and I need to write the information to a local file. Is this easily done using javascript to process the form?
If so, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks much,
Mike Rieck

Ok, so here's another possibility I'm thinking of.
My need is to have our salesmen fill out the form (quote request) offline, then when connected to the Internet, submit the info via e-mail or posting to an application on our company server.
Since my form has many questions that will never get answered, depending on the path the user takes, I could create a smaller form by opening a new window with javascript and writing the pertinent values of form 1 as the default values for the new form. Then ask the user to save the new form to their hardrive and either e-mail it or post it, at a time when they are connected to the Internet.
To add additional functionality to this process, I want to take the form and process it into a formal RTF formated quote.
From what you've explained, I can either write a Java application to process the form on our server, or I could ask the salesman to e-mail the 2nd form as an attachment, and I could write another program in any language to write the RTF file on the local machine of the e-mail recipient.
If I choose the posting option, what are the possibilities of getting the RTF file to someone inside the same office as the server, without the salesman having to download the RTF file and then e-mailing it? Also, how difficult does this sound for someone new to Java?
