Win7-64: microsoft appears to be removing about boxes for it's operating system apps. How do you get the version of media player? I can't find it reported on any of the windows.
How can I use VLC to convert media? for instance WAV to MP3.

Hello,
Let's imagine that we have table items...
table: items
item_id INT PRIMARY AUTO_INCREMENT
title VARCHAR(255)
views INT
Let's imagine that it is filled with something like
(1, item-1, 10),
(2, item-2, 10),
(3, item-3, 15)
I want to make multi update view for this items from data taken from this array [item_id] = [views]
'1' =>…
A few days ago, I ran into an unexpected performance problem with a pretty standard Django setup. For an upcoming feature, we have to regenerate a table hourly, containing about 100k rows of data, 9M on the disk, 10M indexes according to pgAdmin.
The problem is that inserting them by whatever method literally takes ages, up to 3 minutes of…
I have a table that has a lot of fields that are foreign keys referencing a related table. I am writing a script in PHP that will do the db queries. When I query this table for its data I need to know the values associated with these keys not the key.
How do most people go about this?
A 101 way to do this would be to query this table for…
I have an WPF application that starts a live tv recording using Windows Media Center, using the Windows Media Center SDK, waits 2 minutes and then plays the currently recording file (.wtv) in a WPF MediaElement. The problem is that the video visual will freeze and it is not consistent on when it happens. I have looked into it and…

Is there a way to add REFERER header for any RTSP streams within Windows Media Center, I learned that REFERER header is only added when Windows Media Player is in a embed state. But I…

I read an article: Determine whether you've already generated SSH keys which says that ssh in Windows, keys are in C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data\SSH\UserKeys\ but I have found the keys to be in C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data.SSH . Is there a setting to determine where to put these keys…
I have table A with a primary id,
a table B with a primary key id also and another
table C with a primary key id and rows Aid and Bid where Aid and Bid are foreign keys of C and the primary keys of A and B respectively.
One way of populating these DB would be populating table A, table B and table C separately.
I would like to…
Hi everyone!
Doing my first tryouts with foreign keys in a mySQL database and are trying to do a insert, that fails for this reason: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails
Does this mean that foreign keys restrict INSERTS as well as DELETES and/or UPDATES on each…
I would like to build a new computer to be used as a DVR and media server. I am thinking of using mythtv as the DVR software, but short of that decision I am completely open to suggestions.
Requirements:
Must be cheap.
Must have low power consumption (since it will always be on).
Should be quiet.
Should be small.
I'm…
Hi,
I'm experiencing some occasional crashes waking from sleep and I believe it may be related to the Corsair SSD F40GB2 as my boot disk...or the new Ceton tuner I recently installed...
I dunno what the real problem is as I can't reproduce the problem manually. I read somewhere that I should not allow the hard disks to…

I am looking to setup a home server that will act as a media server. This will include both video (possibly HD) and audio. The clients will be a fun mix of hardware but that is a different question.
What I want to know is what is the minimum throughput for streaming video without hitches?
Is there a "sweet" spot…
I have this Gyration remote which, out of the box, does not support triple-tap for text entry outside of Media Center; only numbers can be entered in the Windows shell. Gyration have a patch that supposedly allows this, but it hasn't worked for me.
I'm not alone in this regard it seems though. I've seem some…

I'm wondering if it's possible to get a slot of some kind to put my Sky Card into a Media Center PC and then be able to have a triple or dual tuner, and connect to the satelitte dish, allowing me to record 3 and watch a previously recorded.
Also it would mean…
We are using VLC on ubuntu, and trying to set up a streaming media server.

When we use the main VLC page you get when you goto the…
I just installed Windows 8.1 Pro as an upgrade from an ISO torrent. I was able to activate my original Windows 8 key successfully.

Every time I open Windows Media Player it fails to detect my autoplaylists stored in <my music library dir>\Playlists. This appears to lead to sync problems since I (exclusively) use autoplaylists to sync music to my mobile. As WMP 11 fails to find the any sync autoplaylists it infuriatingly…

This is on a Lenovo X60 running Windows 7 Professional.
