• Torsten_Katthoefer Downloading and searching a web page...

  Hey. I just got into Sidebar development and have a question. I've already got my gadget displaying nicely, but have run into problems making it functional. My Javascript is really rusty, so bear with me here. I'd like to be able to download a web page's source (HTML, generated HTML from a PHP page, whatever, not like the actual scripted source or anything, just what the end user sees) and then be able to sift through it for a certain element. Specifically, I'd like to download the index of http://www.charas-project.net and find the first link after the source: < span class = 'title' >Last 10 Forum Discussions</ span >< br >< hr > I can probably find the string handling functions to do the latter myself, but the d ...Show All

• erbenji WMFDist.exe for Vista

  We use WMFDist.exe in our software but the current version doesn't work for Vista, as running WMFDist.exe fails in Vista. Is there a version of it that can be installed in Vista that we can obtain Thanks, Houng The best place for this question is the Windows Media SDK newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.sdk&lang=en&cr=US I would imagine, though, that you do not need wmfdist on Vista, since Vista already has the latest WM SDK binaries in-box.

• frieste backgroundImage parameters

  The CSS used in iHD seems to be a bit different than CSS2.0. First question: Does the HD specification cover style syntax and definitions Second question (and example of my confusion): One of the samples posted to these forums includes a backgroundImage assignment with multiple items. I'm guessing this is to define different images per state. style:backgroundImage="url('BUTTON_T1_0.PNG') url('BUTTON_T1_1.PNG')" What is the signature for this style declaration Thanks. The sample references an animation by name, and the animation toggles the backgroundFrame . The code is not as efficient as it could be (see below): The button has two background images, BUTTON_T1_0.PNG and BUTTON_T1_1.PNG : <butto ...Show All

• Thegamingchoice Picture In Picture Sample for Toshiba Player

  Thank you Peter, for the PIP sample. I got it to work in the MS Simulator. However, when I attempted to write code for the Toshiba player I had no success. I use the Sonic tool to mux. The playlist generated by the Sonic tool does not reference a "SecondaryAudioVideoClip", instead a "SubVideo" is referenced as part of the "PrimaryAudioVideoClip" <PrimaryAudioVideoClip titleTimeBegin="00:00:00:00" src=" file:///dvddisc/HVDVD_TS/EVOB001.MAP " titleTimeEnd="00:04:22:24" dataSource="Disc"> <Video track="1"/> <Audio track="1" streamNumber="1"/> <SubVideo track="1"/> </PrimaryAudioVideoClip> When I m ...Show All

• Jarno Leikas JScript HDi Intellisense for VS2005

  Is there a way to get hdi jscript intellisense into VS2005 HD DVD uses "real" ECMA-262 for the most part, but It uses the compact profile (327), which means no eval , Function constructor, or with blocks It doesn't include the optional Annex B functionality (like substr or octal literals) It requires semicolons Everything else is host-specific (ie, the Annex Z APIs from the HD DVD spec) Unfortunately I don't know of a way to make IntelliSense better in VS... :-( Or even a reference that is specific to HDi's implementation of jscript. ...Show All

• Raphael Chan Dynamic Metafiles

  I'm looking to stream dynamically generated WVX metafiles. For instance, the metafile would contain a playlist that does this: 1. plays a 30 second clip (commercial) 2. plays a selected movie The only way i have found to do this is to create individual metafiles for each movie. is there a way to send a variable such as movie location to link it to the file on the mms:// server Thanks, Jonathan Try posting your question here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.server&lang=en&cr=US ...Show All

• Alpehans RTM version of Windows Media Player 11 is incompatible with HDiSim

  Just a quick note that the final release version of WMP 11 causes video playback to stop working in the HDiSim Beta. If you have already downloaded the beta of WMP 11, avoid upgrading to the RTM version if you also want to run HDiSim. Obviously you should upgrade to the RTM version on all your mission-critical machines that don't have HDiSim on them, but nobody is running beta software on their production machines, are they :-) I have two machines (one laptop, one desktop) which are both working with WMP 11 RTM. My third laptop does not work with any version of WMP. My research indicates that it is the lack of hardware T&L support on my third laptop. So, you may want to give the RTM a shot if you have hardware T&L. Otherw ...Show All

• Don Golden I can't send event from ProcessOutput() of MFT

  I'm trying to send event from ProcessOutput() of MFT but downstream MFT of ProcessEvent() or Stream Sink of IMFStreamSink::PlaceMarker() couldn't receive it. my MFT's ProcessOutput() pEvents member of the MFT_OUTPUT_DATA_BUFFER structure always comes with NULL is this ok Since pEvents are NULL I'm creating IMFCollection by myself using MFCreateCollection() is this ok At last I'm adding event to collection. Thanks. kasumi The EVR is not going to forward the event to the application. If you need this event to make it to the application, you could do something like implement your own sink as a wrapper around the EVR; this wrapper sink could handle the event.

• ramjamman Submission - what's the second file? Rejection reason?

  Two things about gadget submission. 1. When you submit a gadget you get two fields for files. The first is for a thumbnail, but the second one requires a ZIP file and it doesn't say what the ZIP is supposed to contain (at least in FF). So wht should it be 2. I just submitted a WebGadget and it was rejected, sadly I didn't get any info as to why it was rejected so if somebody could get back to me on that I'd really appreciate it, since I can't fix things without any info. (It's definately not an IP problem, I wrote the game myself). Here's the gadget url: http://tapper-ware.net/patience/live/patience.xml And my website: http://www.tapper-ware.net/ Hmm...
