What is the best way to detect if a broadcast is live coming from USTREAM? I've got a church site that uses USTREAM and they would like to have the embeded player show up when the broadcast is live and disappear when the broadcast is off-air.
Is this possible with ColdFusion or some kind of javascript/ajax?

found all the way at the bottom of the page. Thanks a lot ustream having such an easy API to be able to understand. #not

I've been using an open source version of Telegram called Bettergram, which claims to be the same protocols. Whether that is true or not to the side, I realized that even though Telegram does not allow pornography, there's a crap ton of it floating around. Is it possible to build a small edit into the code of bettergram (being that it is open-source) to have it block or not register chats or groups that have certain keywords within them(explicit results within group would trigger to be blocked).If this is possible, how hard is it (and can someone help me.) Thanks guys! :) link: https://github.com/bettergram/bettergram
I just started using Chromecast SDK today and got bit confused with its APIs and samples given in the web.
What I am trying to do is to send some messages to the Chromecast so it will display them on the big screen. I am going to use Chrome API with HTML5/JS/CSS.
Most examples (https://github.com/pjjanak/chromecast-hello-world/blob/master/sender/index.html , http://nerdwin15.com/2013/10/chromecast-development-part-one-chrome-sender/) in the web uses new Cast.Api() in the sender and uses an Activity in doing so. But I could not find a reference to a Cast.Api in the Chrome API. Most Google references deal with Media and I am not sure whether I have to use them. So to sum up, following are the questions I have (Sorry! I did read the API and developer guide but I am still clueless).
Do I have to write a custom receiver to show text on TV screen. Can't I survive default receiver, chrome.cast.media.DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID
Is handling multimedia files different from displaying text on the Chromecast or can I set the mime type to text/html and send a text stream (doesn't work for me at the moment)
Are those examples on the web uses a deprecated way of sending data to chromecast?
Thanks in advance,
Ish
Ok I think I found the answer from following documents,
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/receiver_apps
https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-chrome/blob/master/chromehellotext.html
Will try them and let you all know!
Following example page is very useful for anyone who try writing chromecast apps
https://github.com/googlecast
I'm not sure how you fared, but here are some quick responses to your questions.
Yes, you have to write a custom receiver if you want to do anything other than sending images, audio, or video to the Chromecast. You can see a list of supported media Default Media Receiver here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media
Yes (see above), it requires a custom receiver, which will also require your own appId and I'm pretty sure a custom namespace.
To my knowledge, all of the examples up on https://github.com/googlecast should be relevant, but I am working on a few wrappers to try to simplify getting up and running with custom Chrome Sender and Receiver apps. You can check them out here: https://github.com/googlecast Let me know if those help, and if you have any feedback to share.
I hope you've already figured all this stuff out, but if not hopefully this is useful.
I kick off 5 uploads (of varying size) via the BackgroundTransferService. I have the following questions about the way it works:
It seems that on the emulator it does 2 uploads at a time. Is this how it works on the actual device? Can I programmatically change this behavior?
Can I count on the uploads going out in the order that I submitted them? I seem to be getting conflicting results in my testing.
When I inspect the BackgroundTransferService in my application, does it contain requests from other apps as well or just mine?
Do I need to reconnect events for all the BackgroundTransferRequest objects when coming back from being tombstoned? What about coming back from being reactivated?
Do I need to disconnect events from the BackgroundTransferRequest when I remove it from the BackgroundTransferService.Requests collection?
When I try to upload a non-existing URL:Port (on the localhost), the TransferStatus is reported as WaitingForNonVoiceBlockingNetwork. The upload never actually completes/fails. Is this how it is on the device? Should I remove the request when it encounters this TransferStatus?
You cannot influence the behaviour of the BTS. If you don't like the way it works you can write the transfer functionality as part of your own application but then you have to handle running in the background yourself.
There is no guarantee on sequence.
The BTS may be handling requests from other apps but you won't be able to see the details. Requests() will only return details for your app.
Surely a quick test will tell you this.
It's good practice to.
Have you checked the TransferError property whe you reach this situation? This is a perfectly valild status in other situations and so you shouldn't treat this as a automatic fail.
I made a desktop music application in adobe air.
I want to update the status of some IM clients running EG: Yahoo messenger,Gtalk,AIM,MSN etc.
with the current playing song.
I am not desktop developer.This is first time i am making something for desktop.
SO is there any way in any Programming language that i can make something which will change the Data (Status message) of a running IM client.
Please Just guide me through this problem .
Edit: I dont want to ask for username/password of users IMs accounts , so via API is not a solution in this case .
It will be like Person X running mine music application and also logged to various third party IM clients (YIM,Gtalk etc).
SO if he is playing a song in the music application , then mine app will update presence status message on the IM clients to " Listening to bla bla song ".
So it is like high-jacking/Hacking the data of the running third party IM client.
Have a look at libpurple, it might have the functionality you require.
There is also telepathy, but I think it is related to the former somehow (one uses the other or they do the same thing).
EDIT: for the recent edit: it looks to me like you want something like MSN Messenger displaying the currently playing track in Windows Media Player. This requires a plugin for the messaging client, no way around that.
Perhaps an easier way to get this done would be to develop a plugin for one of the numerous multi-platform IM clients such as GAIM or Trillian. This would let you target stuff across the board without undue effort . . .
I think your only option is to write a plugin for each chat client you want to target, which could take some time.
So let me suggest an alternative: Add last.fm audioscrobbler support to your application. You would simply send the Now Playing info to last.fm via the API (http://www.last.fm/api/submissions), and it will appear on the user's profile page. Most music players already support this method because it's a pretty popular service, and a lot of people link to their last.fm profiles on their blog/facebook/etc.
Though i had read the fsevents article provided by apple developer site, i m having issues in receiving the events. I need some samples to fetch events.
Need some samples.
Thanks in advance.

I'm in the middle of solving this and MacFSEvents looks promising (that is, if you're OK with using Python).
