Re: problems using vlc

[covici]

I tried nvda, but it was not much better.  So, how, in nvda would you
look at the time elapsed and how would you use the dialog where you can
jump to a specific time?

Minix Neo X8-H Plus Review | AVForums

[Dane Trethowan]

Though this review was written almost 12 months ago I still thought it a 
good read and it shows that this Set Top Box - for want of a better 
description - is certainly one of the most powerful available and 
possibly one of the most accessible available now too!


For those in Australia you can pick one up on eBay - have it customised 
to your specification if you like - or just go down to JB Hi-Fi and do 
your stuff from there.

Re: problems using vlc

[Dane Trethowan]

I'm a VLC user myself - both Windows and Mac - but have kept a low 
profile in this discussion as I don't use Window-Eyes these days, I'm a 
NVDA user and I have no problems with the Software /though I did tweak 
the Interface settings a little for my personal liking.

Re: A most vexing and frustrating with TotalRecorder

[Larry Higgins]

Well Andy, I really would give it a good try. It has been nothing less 
than an excellent program for as long as I can remember. I think I've 
been using TR for at least ten years, and pretty much swore by it, until 
I started to swear at it over the past month or so. It really might be 
some kind of personal PC problem here, and I am really hoping that I can 
get to the bottom of it soon.


Thanks for your best wishes,

Larry

Please search your memories and tell me if you have encountered this

this question. Is it possible for an administrator to be able to tell 
if you are recording a stream as apposed to simply listening to the

The problem I am having is even after setting a scheduled session for 
recording a particular program, TR will record for a few minutes, 
maybe 20 or 30, and though the recording is continuing, at least it 
appears that way, the audio simply stops being input to the potential 
recorded product.


I have set the program up to reconnect to the stream in an unlimited 
fashion, but this simply does no good, I still rarely get a complete 
recording, at least not for the past few weeks.


This is a recent Phenomena. I have been making weekly recordings of 
this program for many years, and have never experienced anything

Re: A most vexing and frustrating with TotalRecorder

[Larry Higgins]

Well Humberto, I forgot all about Tapin. I tried it once and found it a 
bit more complicated to get setup than TR and just kind of gave up on 
it, but this might either be a possible alternative, or at least 
something to try.


Nevertheless, I am still holding out for a solution that renders TR the 
once reliable program it once was. So if there any further suggestions, 
I certainly will be grateful.


Thanks,

Larry

RE: Airfoil Fir Windows 5

[John Gurd]

Hi Dane

Can Airfoile capture the output of a screen reader like Jaws or Voice Over as 
well as the music? I often use a wireless keyboard in a different room from my 
PC and get the audio output on an old-fashioned wireless radio speaker. I'm 
wondering if I could replace with an airplay one.

I'm very excited to be using the new upgrade for Airfoil.
http://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2016/02/18/now-playing-airfoil-for-windows-5/

Airfoil has been with us for quite a few years now.  Put simply Airfoil allows 
the computer user to capture any sound source and stream that source to 
multiple devices around the home.

You could for example use your favourite Internet browser to navigate to your 
favourite radio station, capture the audio and stream it to your AirPlay 
compatible speakers or AVR Receiver, another computer or Smartphone running 
Airfoil Satellite etc.

Now Airfoil is smarter than ever giving the ability to transmit captured audio 
to Bluetooth devices such as Bluetooth Speakers and headphones.

Not only can you capture running Apps on your Windows PC you can also capture 
the audio from Physical devices such as the line-in source of a sound card and 
so on.

For those who like me have owned Airfoile for quite some time a havily 
discounted purchase price for an upgrade licence is available.

Hi Mary

Excellent description. Just to add that if you want to charge a mobile
device then you have to hold in the battery indicator button for about 7
seconds and this will activate the charging function. I haven't used it so I
don't know if you can still play music while charging but I've turned it on

the screen of the mobile device itself.

The problem I am having is even after setting a scheduled session for

product.


I have set the program up to reconnect to the stream in an unlimited

If anybody could please give me any insight into just what might be 
taking place here, it would really be greatly appreciated. It really has 
me pulling what is left of my hair completely out!


Sure hope to hear from someone soon, this is maddening!
