is there one for iphone?

and that ipad app, i could use it if im away from home?

 

^if you have a VPN running at home or setup port forwarding in your router then yes. The iPhone version of that app is netportal.

this should be in the iPad thread, how dare I taint my epic Windows 7 thread with this iPad garbage, a thousand apologies Bill!

 

Stapler, look for a program called Tag and Rename. It only really works if you're dealing with full albums, but it is amazing! You can even have it rename the files to whatever file naming convention you choose. It basically polls CDDB and Amazon (which bought out CD Now a few years ago) for all the metadata and pulls it down.

Stunna, 2 questions. First, does YAAMM run on the server or on one of your client machines? Second, your File Browser app, is that iPad only, or is there an iPod Touch version of it as well? And how much is it?

This could be the answer to my prayers. I just got my WHS (not vale ) set up the other day. I'm going to start ripping movies before too long and getting them up them on it.

 

YAMMM runs on my client machine. I've not set it up on multiple Windows PCs yet but I think you need a copy of YAMMM for each machine cause it needs to create a cached local copy of the XML files on the server in order to work in Media Center. Besides that there shouldn't be a need to have it. You could run it on the server too if you'd like.

I already answered your 2nd question in the post above your's.

 

Ahh, okay, I get it now. May not be quite as ideal as I thought for my uses then.

I figured the answer to the File Browser app was in the links but for some reason the site is blocked from work. I'll have to have a look when I get home.

 

Well I just tested out my movie setup on another Windows machine that doesn't have YAMMM installed and it looks like this.





It gets the images but doesn't get the metadata like reviews, cast + crew, related movies. You'd need a local copy of YAMMM for that.

 

As long as it gets images, I don't think I'd need any more. This YAMMM is looking better and better....

 

I'll try all of the things mentioned at the same time and report back when I've ruined my media library.

 

Do you really watch movies that often? I'm not judging or anything. I'm just curious. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum if so.

I think I think I've watch about 5 movies in the past year. I can only think of two I saw in the theatre.

 

^I hardly go to the movies, the last movie I saw in the theaters was where the wild things are and before that was Semi-pro maybe. I probably go to less movies than you. These movies are a collection spanning from the 1920s until now. I have been using Netflix a lot lately.

 

Just get a 2TB drive. I got 2 of those in my WHS.

 

 

OK, so I have an icky yucky work-related problem. Here at work we have our own self-signed certification authority (CA) running on a 2003 Server box. This CA issues a server certificate to the 2003 Server box we have running Microsoft IAS as a RADIUS server for our wireless authentication.

I am looking to implement a WPA(2) enterprise environment throughout my building and currently have a single access point in my office configured in this manner. XP SP2, XP SP3, Leopard, Snow Leopard, and iPhone/iPad all work fine. They each essentially pop up a notification box stating that the server certificate was issued by an unknown/untrusted certification authority, would you like to continue anyway?

Here’s the problem. Windows 7 is offering no such prompt. You attempt to connect to the SSID, get prompted for a username and password three times, and then simply get a message from the OS stating “Unable to connect to [SSID].” A check of the system log shows error 36882 from source Schannel which states:

So Win 7 is doing exactly what it should be doing and what everything else does. The problem is that it does not provide this information to the end user and give them and opportunity to say Yeah, I know. Go ahead anyway. I need to know whether something in Win 7 can be changed to eliminate this and make it behave like everything else does. I’ve spent about an hour searching on this today and found lots of info related to Win 7 accepting certificates, but nothing that mentions this particular issue.

 

BTW, any solution needs to be independent of AD and Group Policy. The whole point of changing our wireless environment is so machines don't have to joined to the domain to connect.

 

Doucher, have you looked at MediaBrowser? I love it.

 

Is there a way to install the cert manually or make it legit? that way you don't get any prompts. I get that prompt about unsigned cert when I RDP into another machine for the first time and it works. is that the prompt you're talking about?

Yeah I've had that and I can't seem to config it to find the movies on my server so it's useless to me.

 

Weird. Never had a problem with it.

 

It is most definitely possible to manually install and authorize our certificate on the end user machines. I have yet to try it, but that's actually because I'm quite confident it will work. The problem is that the steps involved to do the manual cert install are well beyond the level of expertise possessed by our average end user. It would also involve us coming up with a mechanism and procedures for actually getting the certificate file to the end user each of which has their own set of concerns. What I need is a local computer policy or registry entry which is "Allow user to authorize untrusted certificates" or something of the like.

The RDP prompt, while certificate related, essentially concerns a different matter and is a different prompt than I the one I was referring to.

Here is what the prompt I am referring to looks like on OS X. XP has a similar prompt.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking, there's got to be a setting that allows this.

 

have you tried it on Vista?

 

Haven't tried it on Vista machine since I don't have any at my disposal that have a wireless interface.

 

have a USB wifi dongle lying around?

 

Didn't think this question needed it's own thread...

Web Browsers automatically pick up a small logo for some web sites for use inthe address bar and bookmark list:




I would like to be able to use these images as images for a normal size link on my desktop to the individual web sites. Any idea how to save or access the image?

 

its probably in the source code of the page somewhere near the beginning.

 

or not, i dont see it...

 

MS Paint??

 

Yeah, but some are more complicated than AZine...

 

you could always take a screenshot and save it as a gif. use the snipping tool in 7 and save as a GIF

 

weak sauce.

 

stunna or anyone, so i got dvd decrypter and and am ripping a dual layer DVD, whats a good program to convert it so it can be burned onto a single layer DVD?

used to use some program in nero, but i dont remember what.

 

I think you'd use dvd shrink for that. I've never used it though

ive used that before, worked great.

thanks, im helping a neighbor rip a chinese movie.


i found my download of nero 8, so im going to use that for now.

 

I finally got 7 up and running on my Intel SSD RAID 0 and here are the speed results!



My random read and writes are fuckin off the charts crazy good! A normal HD has random read and writes of just a few mb/s usually about 1 or 2mb/s, this thing is doing 115mb/s!!!

It does boot crazy fast!!!

 

This will only work with IE but you can make the desktop icon you want by going to the site in IE, let it load the "favicon"(thats what that lil pic is called) then shrink your IE window so it isn't full screen. Then click & hold the favicon next to the location bar and drag it to your desktop. Done

 

With RAID you loose TRIM support. The write performance will degrade overtime.

 

 

Stunna has never had any trim support...

 

I thought JJ was his wingman...

 

W7 question:

The "show desktop" button on the right side of the task bar... I want it on the left side. With XP you could make a shortcut top "desktop". How in W7?
