• Northwester UserOps again...

  Has anyone successfully prevented default handlers for e.g. skip next, pause, etc My programming doesn't seem to keep the default handlers from being called: var VK_SKIP_NEXT = 0xC7, VK_SKIP_PREV = 0xC8; function handleEvent(evt) { switch (evt.key) { case VK_SKIP_NEXT, VK_SKIP_PREV: stop Event (evt); } } function stopEvent(evt) { evt.stopPropagation(); evt.preventDefault(); } application.addEventListener("controller_key_up", stopEvent, false); application.addEventListener("controller_key_down", handleEvent, false); Thanx so much I will use this alot!

• vtortola uncompressed YUV to EVR

  Hi, I am writing a simple YUV media source to take in .yuv bytestreams and send it to the EVR. I have modified the MFT_Grayscale to act as a dummy transform to copy the yuv samples to the EVR. I am also using the playbackFX sample for the player. I'm having a problem with the player just showing a black screen, as if no samples are being sent to the EVR. I have verified that the samples are being processed in the dummy transform with the correct image size and attributes for my given yuv sample. I have tried other yuv samples and all just display a black screen, but the samples are being processed for sure. Is there any way to debug this to see if the samples are being sent to the EVR Or does anyone have any clues why this is happeni ...Show All

• tjorvi page clock

  Page clock - calculated as an integer offset from the active page presentation period in ticks. Is this active page is the markup page generated from DOM at each video frame Please explain in detail. Thanks in advance. The page and application clocks are both "real time" clocks, as opposed to the title clock which is tied to "movie time" and so it will pause, fast-forward, fast-rewind, etc. as you play with the movie. The difference between page and application is that the application clock starts when your application starts and always increases in value at a constant rate (ie, real time). The page clock starts when the markup page is first loaded and always increases in va ...Show All

• Scottzrn Gadget behavior on spaces vs live.com?

  I am still working on my first gadget and noticed things work really different on live.com compared to spaces. If you want to load what I have so far and see what I mean, the manifest can be found at http://www.incendy.com/MyRSS/rssgadget3.xml Basically the css is very different and also the function that rebuilds the list does not really work on Spaces and you have to manually refresh the page to get the new feed. Just curious if others have experienced this and have advice on what I should be doing differently. The function getfeed gets called but the content seems to be cached on Spaces where it works fine on live.com! Hi! Thanks for your example code ToddOs! It helped me a lot. But still I hav ...Show All

• e_LA Gadget post info to new web form

  I've created a gadget which is a simple HTML form with 2 text boxes and a button. When you click the button it should open a new IE window and send the information to the target URL as a post. The problem is when installed as a sidebar, although the IE window is opening with the correct page, the information in the 2 textboxes does not seem to be transferred. I have tested the simple HTML form by opening it in IE and all functionlity works fine, but not when I install it as a sidebar. Is there something obvious that I am missing Any help would be appreciated. Thank you From experiences with my other Gadgets, you cannot POST from a Gadget when opening a new Window. However, a lot of sites fall b ...Show All

  Does anyone if it is possible to create a bandwith monitor sidebar gadget and if so has anyone got any examples I could look at.

• zppro This is not a valid gadget package!! grr!

  hey, So i finished creating my gadget, i use winzip to zip it up to mygadget.gadget and then double click to install... However it just says: This is not a valid gadget package The gadget works if i move the folder to the windows gadget directory! Does anyone know how to fix this problem Regards Check your ZIP file and make sure the files (like gadget.xml) are in the top level of the ZIP. If you drag the .gadget folder into the ZIP, you end up with nested folders - a ZIP, holding a folder, holding the files. The sidebar won't recognize this. You'll see this if there's a blank directory in the Gadget package. winrar lets you make ...Show All
