I was thinking about his config, where they point the %USERPROFILE% at a read only network drive. This means that anything that actually lives on that drive cannot be written to, and so all of the appdata, etc, must be somewhere else entirely. Is there anything useful there that can be read only? Can something else be mapped to Z:? Someone else suggested changing the environment variables. I suppose there's no reason why you couldn't just map it to whatever random place you wanted where you had write access. Very odd....
A readonly profile isn't that unusual, normally it is done as a mandatory profile rather than making the entire folder readonly but this allows a network admin to lock down certain aspects of the system (start menu, desktop shortcuts etc.) to prevent changes persisting after a logout. Normally if this is done My Documents etc should be redirected to a writeable location if there is a requirement for documents to be saved etc. This has been in windows since NT4 at least, fairly sure it was in there since 3.5 but I can't be arsed to check.
If it was only as far back as NT 4 that still makes it a suppoted feature for about 16 years, software that can't get this right but is supposed to run under windows is broken.

@Cassidy said:@tdb said:For once I have to agree with Blakey. His system configuration might be unusual, but it's not broken
I agree with tdb there. I don't see anything broken with his config - the whole point of APIs and env settings is to make software work with different user configurations.I have it on very good authority that if something doesn't work, from the user's point of view, it doesn't work and it doesn't really matter whose fault it is. Why are you guys trying to apologize for broken software?
His Windows config is valid and GitHub doesn't work. Nobody is apologising for broken software here, people are just pointing put that it isn't Windows that is broken but GitHub that is at fault.

@SpectateSwamp said:Others are media players. This one does it all. Video, Music, Pictures and Text.
So.. it's a media player, too? Or is it a search engine?
I'm lost...
I would put my money on neither, Swampy changes his mind depending on whatever the hell he is ranting about at any given moment.
So far it has been a desktop search engine (that didn't search), a media player (really a wrapper around WMP) and a way to allow the homeless to watch videos and see photographs (honestly)
@SpectateSwamp said:
I have to give you that DerulaSwamp. SSDS was lacking in the active non-timeline video playback (missing slow motion). But as soon as yesterday when SSDS was seriously lacking!!! Comes an even better implementation. (enter to stop) (enter to restart) and that's slow motion. (Enter enter to resume at full speed. Maybe your were right about those Swampies After all. With all My bragging and bragging about them. I am pretty dissapointed... Not telling me to implement the instant slow motion feature that has been around "several millennia". I will clip out those few lines for You. Great code morphs easily. You all know that!!! Just today... No lie; I have been searching my old political video for various video clips. I catalog every mpg and search and play them by folder name "town_" each is set to play just the first 8 seconds then on to-the-next. I stopped the search after just playing the videos first 8 Seconds. then on to the next after 20 or so videos. I stopped and made a note of the last video played. Later I just edit out 'those lines' from the auto generated catalog list.. NOTE I won't forget I have been promising some video examples.. As a Swampie I must by THE credo follow-up. I'll show you the "Instant Slo-mo" code changes: and I'll then do a video where I jam random video. "Start / Click" the Random executables ICON (with this 'name' the prompts for #1, #2, and #3 are automatically executed. Ie showing me my random video clips. When jaming I hit the random icon. watch a couple seconds then KILL the program. Hitting the "Random icon" again. She's up; She's down she's up-again with a random new video in mere seconds. Random 'wild Jam-it Action" like this, is just pure fun. Jam a random video then Kill, Jam kill, jam kill can't stop..
Probably in the end; not knowing that SSDS could possibly be deficient was Best. We just kept plugging along. SSDS getting better and better. Wake up You next-to-useless Swampies. It's Spring. Jump to it. Make it Snappy...
oh for fucks sake
@SpectateSwamp said:
It's good to see that some of the 'other' media players are on the RIGHT track. Just saying.
I take it you are ignoring the fact that most players have had this functionality for years, this was standard functionality in early DVD players and even laserdisc players. Most other devices and players actually have a nice UI for doing this as well, unlike SSRR.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Dang I love the new FF option. I set it to skip every 2 seconds and play for .15 with rand_group set. People here in the coffeeshop are amazed.
I just want to brag and brag but that isn't my style..... Let's leave them in our Dust my Swampies...
So what exactly does setting it to skip every 2 seconds and play for .15 with rand_group set actually do? Does it cause the video being played to change every 2 seconds or skip forward by 2 seconds or something entirely different. I would love to know exactly what effect they cause on screen to amaze a crowd of people
@SpectateSwamp said:
I'm calling out VIM and MPlayer come on. let's have a showdown. Me and my Swampies will turn their BIGGEST Gurus into the biggest losers.. Can't wait. We are ready.Oh for fucks sake Swampy, stop with all this showdown crap.
You haven't ever actually taken part in a showdown before, hell you have never even bothered to actually say what the showdown would entail before.
@SpectateSwamp said:
With all the whining and complaining about SSDS I'm surprised that ol Spectate hasn't been banned. Congratulations TheDailyWTF few forums are as agenda FREE as this group. Most of the sites that have banned discussions about SSDS weren't so honest and open. Just like the Hunter / Trapper forums that said "We like Fish and Game Cops" - NOT I haven't talked to one Trapper or Hunter that would agree with that. It's all about the registrations and what the controlling Filthy Rich want us to know.
Good Going TheDailyWTFSwamp you have earned it
I think it is more the fact the sites that ban you are trying to keep their forums on topic and free from ranting lunatics preaching their own delusion ideas of self importance and misplaced genius.
TheDailyWTF on the other hand pretty much takes the piss out of things (including you and SSRS); your insanity has provided a semi-amusing distraction over the past few years. It would be nice if you found some new topics to get all mental about though - leaves that are really aliens, moderators being fascist dictators, rocks that are made from rock (I never quite did follow that logic) and the POS that is SSRS are wearing rather thin.
Quite frankly SSRS was arse 7 odd years ago when you started this nonsense as all of the "features" were available elsewhere with a better UI (I do include command lines in the category of a better UI btw), cleaner implementations and didn't require a person to be aware of your existence to use. Technology has moved on so far since we first thought it was a piece of outdated crap it is no longer even amusing to mock SSRS; before at least we could pretend that you believed SSRS on a DVD was a great way to share information and laugh at you, we can no longer even pretend you believe that to be true when faced with the proliferation of cloud based and multi device based apps out there.
tl;dr - Swampy - up your game if you want to still be amusing, your act is tired and repetitive and needs a new punchline or two.
@Gazzonyx said:
@SpectateSwamp said:The next version will include the "pause" and "continue" option where the video will remain open, for a different play segment. This will allow me to do fast forward besides rewind. It isn't a big change but I'm lazy so it could be a few days for that. Once that change is in I'll be able to show off my Faster Than Sight objects in their full glory.
What do you mean by Faster Than Sight objects?
@SpectateSwamp said:
What GREAT video demos have they come up with?I remember doing a couple of videos showing how WDS works as well as a couple showing how confusing SSRS was when trying to perform a simple search. I also did a video showing the quick video thing I threw together that allowed it to play videos and do a recap, you tend to ignore things that disagree with you though.
@SpectateSwamp said:
All without closing and re-opening the file. No flicker between anymore. How Smooooth that will be.You mean it will finally be almost as smooth as just about every single other media player in existence? Hell even that quick video thing I threw together ages ago to prove a point didn't repeatedly open and close the same file.
@Someone You Know said:
My favorite Steam WTF of the moment is the inability to put the same game in more than one user-defined category. A minor thing, I know, but it was something you could do during the open beta for the update that added the categories feature. When the update was fully released, you could only put a game into a single category.
That is a time saving feature really, after all it is going to forget all the categories sometime in the next few days anyway so if you had taken the trouble to put games into multiple categories even more time would be lost.
Then again it still beats the EA downloader hands down in terms of quality.
@RHuckster said:
Did you honestly expect him to? The only comparisons that Spectate is willing to comment on are the ones he decides on, after all how fair a test is it if he doesn't get to stack the cards in his favour...Spectate, you didn't answer my question. :(
How do you think SSDS slo-mo compares to "fast-frame" slow motion videos like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNI-LIVs-to ?
btw - the link to those slow motion videos has just given my rather dull morning a boost. I can now sit and watch them quietly on my laptop rather than actualy pay any real attention to the meeting itself.
@RHuckster said:
Let me guess: You don't believe in zip files for some arcane reason.This is a sort of odd issue with swampie - he seems to believe that you only need one of most things (one tool, one source file, one video showing you how to make a project to compile the one source file); for some reason however the whole concept of simply using a zip file seems to have passed him by...

@CaptainCaveman said:
I've seen that stuff (and am probably guilty of it) from beginning programmers. I help tutor some first year college students with 'Programming 101' type stuff. They do this. They don't give variables or methods or classes good names because they usually don't understand what it is they are building, they don't 'see' or understand what a particular function or variable represents. So you get things like int a1 = 0 and function22() or programs written in an OO language where the entire program is implemented with a single method.... Swampy's SSRR and oddball file-parser-displayer-thingy are both excellent examples of how bad code and naming conventions can destroy the sustainability of a system, no matter what language.
Swampy seems to write code like most beginners do - it is all about getting code written now because every single idea for a feature must be crammed in and written now, and obviously being a beginner you write code of such high quality it will never need to be bug fixed or maintained. This leads to variables and functions with no coherent naming scheme etc.
The comments alone show how Swampy approaches maintainability and documentation - most comments are things like
'24 March 2004which presumably make sense to Swampy as that was the date he was sat outside a political meeting waiting to film a leaf and saw a bus drive past with an advert for something that caught his eye and while watching the bus go past he noticed a shop on the other side of the street with a colourful logo and this made him think of a new feature or a bug fix and to him this date has meaning. The rest of the world however have absolutely no frame of reference whatsoever for this comment and to them it is utterly useless.
@Xyro said:
Why do you give them names such as "aaa", anyway?I am guessing for the same reason SSRR has commands like tt - it is quicker and easier to type 'aaa' rather thana more meaningful name like 'age'.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Yup. SpenkSwamp exhibits all the tell tale signs of trolling. Mostly trying to bask in the glory of others. What have these Trolls EVER done in comparison?? At best; they are some guitar ditty VS the Swamp Video Mega Symphony.No offence but I am hardly basking in anyone's glory - I think you will find I am taking the piss out of you if anything.
You are a rambling idiot who can't understand why a search tool that can't search is a disaster, you claim to have the best video tool ever but it is shit and all of it's functionality is easily duplicated.
The second bestest program ever is admittedly not as good as SSRR, that just means it is even more shit, quite why a program so stunning and powerful needs to be rewritten 700 times however is a mystery.

The perfect perfects and schoolmarms would mute those of us that didn't meet their standards. Don't let them quiet you my Swampies. We can read and understand; mis-spellings and poor English very well. Sometimes these language faux pas even add something. Call it a funny side. Lighten up PP's and SM's. Share knowledge recklessly.So you are advocating the sharing of knowledge by means of a proprietary kind of English? One that is hard enough for native speakers to follow, never mind non-native speakers and attempts at automatically translating the text.
Using correct spellings and grammar makes it easier to be understood - surely this is going to enable better sharing of knowledge.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Digital Video without Swamp Video. A sad sad affair.Given the punctuation and capitalisation used I will interpret that as two separate points. Firstly the sentence "Digital Video without Swamp Video" I will assume to mean you are advocating the use of a video player other than SSRR - congratulations on finally agreeing with everyone else here! The second sentence seems a somewhat terse and melancholy opinion of a failed romance - good to see you now sharing a sort of poetry with us as well.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Conclusion: "video" without Swamp-Video is a poor poor disorganised sob.I am fairly sure that conclusion only applies to yourself, no sane person would consider SSRR to be a decent video tool. Just about all of it's video related functionality can easily be recreated without the need to use SSRR's torturous interface and the horrible flickery screen between clips.

@SpectateSwamp said:
And they better add 'random' or you'll never see any stuff at the end of these humongous lists.If the results are ranked in any meaningful way then there is a reason the stuff at the end is at the end. For example searching on google for "mediaelement playback speed" returns about 2,500 results - the first two links at the top of the first page are How to: Control a MediaElement (Play, Pause, Stop, Volume, and Speed) and MediaElement Class both of which are highly relevant to the search criteria. If you skip forward to page 19 though the first two links are http://www.videro.com/the-composer-overview.html and http://www.pnumedia.com/research/page/31/ - how would random be an improvement if it brought those last two results to the front of the list?
@SpectateSwamp said:
We will never read trillions of anything. Ever. When will they quit counting and reporting these rediculous numbers. At trillions of trillions or higher. What good are they?The amount of information on the internet is considerable, the number of characters of information is probably well in excess of a trillion already - doesn't matter if you like the idea or not but that is how things are. The fact any one individual might not read all of that information isn't the point - collectively I would imagine the vast majority of it gets read at least once.
@SpectateSwamp said:
All the micro 'this' and nanno 'that' don't mean shit. It's about seeing valid results up on your screen.Exactly, this is why things like google, wds etc are popular - they get information on screen with the minimum of user effort and they do it quickly. The end user certainly doesn't need to know about nanoseconds and microseconds - the people developing the systems do need to be able to make accurate measurements though.

You added the easy to copy golf option and then wittered on about DV - that has naff all to do with SSRR.
@SpectateSwamp said:
I read that and genuinely thought it was somebody doing a piss take impersonation of SpectateSwamp, does this mean you have become your own self parody?Yup every butt in the DV world is feeling the pain after being so severely kicked by Swamp video. They don't even want to look at the DV showdown thread for fear of feeling incompetent.
Manufacturers: I need a dulie mount for 2 camcorders along with the dual remote starts. The Faster than Sight objects will be in the Swampies sights. Nobody catches FTS better than this.
One noodle will be used to create a file on C: where the filename to show by the background job is placed. Or "END" in that file will terminate the background job. Being that the clipboard doesn't work for Windows 7 and Vista using a file will. And I can run it from a DVD.. Video players don't get more powerful than that...
@SpectateSwamp said:
Close but no cigar. Having video from 2 CamCorders up on 2 large screens would work great for the Golf scenario. Clips from CC1 on screen #1 and the matching video from CC2 on screen #2. They could watch either. That would get through showing the videos in 1/2 the time. Wow what a time saver. Same for football or other sport that has a whistle to start and stop play. You could spectate the one that had the best angle or lighting. Video scessions are going to be more FUN from now on.But if you have one in each hand wouldn't that mean the two views are almost identical? Wouldn't it make more sense to position the cameras on tripods in various positions - in which case why restrict yourself to just two cameras as you are no longer limited to the number of arms...
If you are showing two views simultaneously there is no guarantee a person will see more from the best angle as you would never know which one was the best, you would be skipping back and fore between the views and could end up missing more then from a single perspective. If this is being shown after the event it would make far more sense to edit the multiple angles into a coherent film using multiple angles.
@SpectateSwamp said:
So the rules basically require anyone who enters to do things exactly the way you do, with no room for creativity, originality or personal style. To me this seems to be a show down with a single criteria for winning - be SpectateSwamp or lose.These Digital Video awards won't allow for any edited videos or Producer / Directors and or their paid critics to attend. Nope we want reality at these DV awards.
You really have no idea what a challenge or showdown should be do you? The idea in a challenge is normally to allow different approaches, techniques etc to be compared to see which is considered the best, you method seems to be just a blatant form of self promotion / SSRR promotion.

SEE SpenkSwamp ole Swampie has more important things to do (like save the World) than answer your dumb ass questions. But please keep them comming...
Given this is a forum frequented by programmers posting an application and it's source and then claiming it is the best thing ever is going to get questions from it's members. The fact you cannot answer simple questions just shows your ignorance and arrogance. I would personally love to know just what amount of drugs is required to get to the point were you believe a shitty application that can be out performed by notepad (which also has a better UI) is somehow a) revolutionary and b) helping to save the world.
Sorry to be the one to break the news to you (Again) but there are no swampies there is only you and your delusions.
@SpectateSwamp said:
In all honesty your delusions and ramblings are getting so far beyond my comprehension I have no idea where to even start in commenting on them.Just the ones where there is rioting. It will calm down the protestors when they can see what is going on and even provide some security for those in power; if they behave. All involved will be somewhat safer. To keep the VideoSwampies and their Pets safe they would be accompanied by 2 burly unarmed SecuritySwampies (1Male 1Female). And at a greater distance a backup group of similar number with their CamCorders Rolling.
These VideoSwampies should be young, brave and vulnerable. Don't touch them or make them cry; cus the SecuritySwampies will step in.

Planted questions might be the only way the "Digital Video ShowDown" will ever get started.You could just be coherent and focused in the first place, rather than acting like a troll and ignoring questions and advice.

Impossible their whole lives are about accessing and storing information. But not randomly. Without randomly you have boringly.As we have stated before random has it's place but it isn't the sole point of a search tool. If I am playing music / videos or looking at photos then random can be nice. If I am looking for source files, emails etc then I want predictability from my search tool.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Sometimes not doing a change for years is the best approach. I wanted to change the color of text when searching for the beginning and end of a given word. I'd thought of a number of ways to do it. Including using the 6th search element temporarily and fake it so that string would be considered a "search element" but I didn't do it. NOW I'll just check that there are no spaces in the string and that it isn't at the beginning or end of the line and not another search string. Then hilite it in it's own special color. Very simple why didn't I think of it earlier?Surely the better idea would be to have code that is clean, easily understood and testable - that way you could make the change when you first thought of it but easily switch to an alternate mechanism or back the change out entirely at a later date. Waiting"for years" to make a change as simple as highlighting a word is madness quite frankly.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Arguing with me on Desktop Search and Video. I wrote a search engine and have shot over 10,000 video clips to show off the video capabilities of the program.You have not written a search engine though, no matter how often you claim this you have written a tool that performs a simple linear search of a single file. This. Is. Not. A. Search. Engine.
Shooting 10,000 video clips does not necessarily make you good at shooting video - it simply means you are prolific. Repeatedly doing things badly simply re-enforces poor habits. As someone told me a long time ago "Practice does not make perfect, practice makes habit."
@SpectateSwamp said:
I've been working with doofuses like you all since 1970.If everyone you have met since 1970 has disagreed with you this means one of two things - you are either a genius and can make revolutionary leaps in knowledge or you are an arse but refuse to see this.

Very sad and disappointed with the Swampies responses here.
If you actually bothered to give a direct response to a direct question when somebody has even gone to the trouble of using the piece of shit that is SSRR you might get a better attitude from people. So far you have repeatedly failed to take part in any showdowns - even ones you tried to start, you have failed to explain how to make SSRR do even the simplest of things, you have failed to bother to explain how the fuck the results are supposed to be interpreted and have also failed to comment on videos showing SSRR failing to search large files, failing to allow certain files to be searched, failing to be as easy as WDS, failing to produce results as quickly as SSRR.

Time and date is information that is useful to nearly everyone as well.

Just think how easy it would be for Me to pretend to rename a file with the GPS info in the name.I would imagine it is easy for you to pretend such a thing, you seem to manage to pretend all sorts of other things.@SpectateSwamp said:
Very easy. Maybe too easy.Wtf?

When you finish doing a Java program with the exact same functionality as the first one. TNot JAva but http://sourceforge.net/projects/csid3lib/ is a free library to do all that and more in C#, supports ID3v2 tags as well. Id3v1 tags are a doddle in any language to do anyway.

ill put the data out to a new file with the "title=*******" "artist=********" "album=*****' "year=2010" "comments=*******" "genre=--2Country***" info back out on line #1 and line #2 have the "xxx.c:\search\mysong.mp3" info saved unchanged. I like fixed length fields here because it makes it easy to "SORT" so lengths are (30) (30) (30) (4) (30) (33)Why? The whole point of the metdata is that it is in the file, that way you do not need to maintain the data and keep it in sync with the file.

Help build the "Rosetta Stone of computing languages".Wtf does that even mean? There are already libraries to do this kind of thing for all the major and most of the other languages out there anyway, why reinvent the wheel?

Make 50 copies of that line
that data should be in c:\search\DmpMp3_MetaData_lst.txt put the bmp exe and any background jpg you might want in the same folder. The songs can stay where they are at: C:\mp3s\Coil\Hellraiser Themes\01 - Hellraiser Theme.mp3
<more stuff snipped>
I didn't realise it had to be run from a specific folder - putting everything in c:\search at least made the application run, when starting typing "file" however just caused it to crash- needed to be "file <name of the bmp file>" to actually work.
Following the instructions I did get it to sort of work - however you only support IDv1 and displaying this information one record at a time isn't really that useful for something like mp3 tags - windows explorer does it far easier and allows search / sorting as well.

I haven't encounter a system that needed the VB runtime. there is a msvbvm50.dll that it complains about on some systems?That is the VB5 runtime.

Above is a simple but powerful Mp3 audio metadata dump program.So how do I actually use it then? I downloaded the .exe, put it in a folder alongside the VB5 runtime and ran it and just got an inputbox that said "Testing only", hitting ok exited the program. Read the comments in the source and created a file called DmpMp3_MetaData_lst.txt and for the contents I put
xxx.C:\mp3s\Coil\Hellraiser Themes\01 - Hellraiser Theme.mp3
(this file does exist by the way), running it made no difference - the app just exited with no display. What am I missing?

Maybe just this one time lazy forum will rise to the occasion.If we are talking about being lazy I must point out that you are the one here who never actually responded to a the original showdown,, you were the one too lazy to even set up a sourceforge project so people could actually help, you are the one who has still never managed to explain the search results in the screenshots / videos I posted and it is also you who has never bothered to give an honest opinion between the two videos I did comparing SSRR and WDS when it comes to searching capabilities.

Nope MetaData is bad bad bad. The GPS info is automatic.Automatic or not, it is still metadata.
@SpectateSwamp said:
No techie action required. GPS Date and Time are OKThere is no techie action required to manage metadata for jpegs / mp3s anyway - cameras add this stuff, legally purchased mp3s include it and windows makes editing it a doddle as well. Why is gps and date metadata considered good but all other metadata bad then?
@SpectateSwamp said:
I have just created my DmpMp3_metadata.exe as a test for mp3 files.But why separate the metadata from the file, that way you have two things to maintain and manage rather than just the original file itself.
