The tiny question is:
How to start (realplayer ?) playing given online resourse (e.g. http://example.com/file.mp3)
PyS60, C++ or C# via RedFiveLabs would do.
EDIT1: Title changed from "Start RealPlayer on symbian" to the more appropriate.
I think the title is a little misleading if you just want to play back media content and not use a particular application for it.
In C++ there is CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::OpenUrlL() but it's not widely implemented. For example in S60 it will complete with KErrNotSupported status. To play files you can use other open functions in CMdaAudioPlayerUtility such as OpenFileL() or OpenDesL() but you need a separate mechanism for retrieving the files or at least the bytes onto the device.
There is also CVideoPlayerUtility::OpenUrlL() which supports rtsp audio streams but not http.

I am trying to add a continuous speech to text recognizer in a mobile application during a webrtc audio-only call.
I'm using react native on the mobile side, with the react-native-webrtc module and a custom web api for the signaling part. I've got the hand of the web api, so I am able to add the feature on it's side if it's the only solution, but I prefer to perform it on the client side to avoid consuming bandwidth if there is no need.
First, I have worked and tested some ideas with my laptop browser. My first idea, was to use the SpeechRecognition interface from the webspeechapi : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechRecognition
I have merged the audio only webrtc demo with the audiovisualiser demonstration in one page but there, I did not find how to connect a mediaElementSourceNode (created via AudioContext.createMediaElementSource(remoteStream) at line 44 of streamvisualizer.js) to a web_speech_api SpeechRecognition class. In the Mozilla documentation, the audio stream seems to came with the constructor of the class, which may call the getUserMedia() api.
Second, during my researches I have found two open source speech to text engine : cmusphinx and mozilla's deep-speech. The first one have a js binding and seems great with the audioRecoder that I can feed with my own mediaElementSourceNode from the first try. However, how to embed this in my react native application?
There are also Android and iOS natives webrtc modules, which I may be able to connect with cmusphinx platform specific bindings (iOS, Android) but I don't know about native classes inter-operability. Can you help me with that?
I haven't already created any "grammar" or define "hot-words" because I am not sure of technologies involved, but I can do it latter if I am able to connect a speech recognition engine to my audio stream.
You need to stream the audio to the ASR server by either adding another webrtc party on the call or by some other protocol (TCP/Websocket/etc). On the server you perform recognition and send results back.
First, I have worked and tested some ideas with my laptop browser. My first idea, was to use the SpeechRecognition interface from the webspeechapi : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechRecognition
This is experimental and does not really work in Firefox. In Chrome it only takes microphone input directly, not dual stream from caller and callee.

You will not be able to run this as local recognition inside your react native app
I have just started on libusbdotnet. I have downloaded the sample code from http://libusbdotnet.sourceforge.net/V2/Index.html.
I am using a JetFlash 4GB Flash drive (a libusb-win32 filter driver was added for this drive).
The ShowInfo code works perfectly, and I can see my device info with two endpoints. Following is the device info from pastebin
http://pastebin.com/2Jdph6bY
However, the ReadOnly sample code does not work.
http://pastebin.com/hNZaEt8N
My code is almost same as that from the libsubdotnet website. I have only changed the endpoint that UsbEndpointReader uses. I have changed it from Ep01 to Ep02, because I read that the first endpoint is a control endpoint used for configuration, access control and similar stuff.
UsbEndpointReader reader = MyUsbDevice.OpenEndpointReader(ReadEndpointID.Ep02);
I always get the message "No more bytes!".
I thought that this is because of the absence of data, so I used the ReadWrite sample code.
http://pastebin.com/NiN5w9Jt
But here I also get "No more bytes!" message.
Interestly, the line
ec = writer.Write(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(cmdLine), 2000, out bytesWritten);
executes without errors.
Can pen drives be used for read write operations? Or is something wrong with the code?
A USB thumb drive implements the USB mass storage device class, which is a subset of SCSI. The specification is here.
You're not going to get anything sensible by just reading from an endpoint - you have to send the appropriate commands to get any response.
You have not chosen an easy device class to begin your exploration of USB - you may be better starting with something easier - a HID class device, perhaps (Mouse/Keyboard) though Windows does have enhanced security around mice and keyboards which may prevent you installing a filter.
If you meddle with the filesystem on the USB stick while it's mounted as a drive by Windows, you'll almost certainly run into cache-consistency problems, unless you're extremely careful about what kind of access you allow Windows to do.
I'm an untrained, newbie code hacker playing with a homebrew MediaPlayer for streaming live internet audio. An old fashioned "radio" if you will. I'm using OnInfo, OnError and OnBuffferingUpdate info to fill a "status" textView box on my player, but I see so much more detailed info in logcat from the AwesomePlayer engine. Is it possible to access the AwesomePlayer info directly from the application?
From an application perspective (assuming the application is written in JAVA), MediaPlayer is the abstraction for all player engines. There are multiple player engines such as StagefrightPlayer which internally uses AwesomePlayer and NuPlayer to name a couple.
The information made available on listeners i.e. onInfoListener, onBufferingUpdateListener, onErrorListener originates from AwesomePlayer which is translated into a generic message and is communicated through the listeners. This information is deemed to be sufficient for any application developer to develop their code around the same.
AwesomePlayer logs are more from debug perspective and helps to understand the underlying implementation of the engine. I feel that this information is good to know and understand, but not sure if this is essential for application development.
To summarize, AwesomePlayer information is actually communicated through the listeners which are generic in nature and rest of the logcat information is more for debug or understanding purposes. Currently, there is no scheme to get this information unless the developer explicitly customizes the AOSP distribution.
I need to implement an app that monitors inbound/outbound connections by different apps on iPhone. my app is going to run in background using apple's background multitasking feature for voip and navigators.
I can use private api as my client doesn't need this app on appstore.
Thanks.
I got through this.
I didn't need any private Api to get information of inbound/outbound active connections.
Its just you need to know basic C programming and some patience.
I wrote to apple dev forums regarding this,and got response as-
From my perspective most of what I have to say about this issue is covered in the post referenced below.
<https://devforums.apple.com/message/748272#748272>>
The way to make progress on this is to:
o grab the relevant headers from the Mac OS X SDK
o look at the Darwin source for netstat to see how the pieces fit together
WARNING: There are serious compatibility risks associated with shipping an app that uses this technique; it's fine to use this for debugging and so on, but I recommend against shipping code like this to end users.
What I did step by step is -
1)downloaded code of netstat from BSD opensource -
2)add this to your new iphone project.
3)see,some header files are not present in ios sdk so you need take it copied from opensource.apple.com and add those in your iphone sdk at relevant path under-
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk/usr/include
My xcode version is 4.5.2. so this is path relevent to my xcode. you can have different path according to versions of xcodes.Anyway. and remember to add those headers in both iosSdk & iOSSimulatorSdk both so that code will work on device as well as on simulator.
4)you may find some minor errors in netstat code relating not finding definitions of some structures in header files.e.g " struct xunpcb64 " .dont wory. definitions are present there.you need to comment some "#if !TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED" #else in those header files so that ios sdk can reach in those if condition and access the definition.(need some try and error.be patient.)
5)finally you will be abe to compile your code.Cheers!!
In case you haven't seen this already, I have used it successfully on my iPhone.

I realize it is not exactly what you want.
Generally, I agree with Suneet. All you need is network sniffer.
You can try to do partial port of WireShark (it's open source and it works on MacOS) to iOS. Both iOS and OS X share most part of the kernel, so if it's not explicitly prohibited on iOS, it should work for you.
WireShark is quite big product, so you may be intersted to look for another open source network sniffer which work on OS X.
I'm trying to record a webcam's video and audio to a FLV file stored on the users local hard disk. I have a version of this code working which uses NetConnection and NetStream to stream the video over a network to a FMS (Red5) server, but I'd like to be able to store the video locally for low bandwidth/flaky network situations. I'm using FLex 3.2 and AIR 1.5, so I don't believe there should be any sandbox restrictions which prevent this from occurring.
Things I've seen:
FileStream - Allows reading.writing local files but no .attachCamera and .attachAudio methids for creating a FLV.
flvrecorder - Produces screen grabs from the web cam and creates it's own flv file. Doesn't support Audio. License prohibits commercial use.
SimpleFLVWriter.as - Similar to flvrecorder without the wierd license. Doesn't support audio.
This stackoverflow post - Which demonstrates the playback of a video from local disk using a NetConnection/NetStream.
Given that I have a version already which uses NetStream to stream to the server I thought the last was most promising and went ahead and put together this demo application. The code compiles and runs without errors, but I don't have a FLV file on disk which the stop button is clicked.

It seems to me that there's either something wrong with the above code which is preventing it from working, or NetStream just can't be abused in this wany to record video.
What I'd like to know is, a) What (if anything) is wrong with the code above? b) If NetStream doesn't support recording to disk, are there any other alternatives which capture Audio AND Video to a file on the users local hard disk?
Thanks in advance!
It is not possible To stream video directly to the local disk without using some streaming service like Windows Media encoder, or Red5 or Adobe's media server or something else.
I have tried all the samples on the internet with no solution to date.
look at this link for another possibility:
http://www.zeropointnine.com/blog/updated-flv-encoder-alchem/
My solution was to embed Red5 into AIR.
Sharing with you my article
http://mydevrecords.blogspot.com/2012/01/local-recording-in-adobe-air-using-red5.html
In general, the solution is to embed free media server Red5 into AIR like an asset. So, the server will be present in AIR application folder. Then, through the NativeProcess, you can run Red5 and have its instance in memory. As result, you can have local video recording without any network issues.
I am also trying to do the same thing, but I have been told from the developers of avchat.net that it is not possible to do this with AIR at the moment. If you do find out how to do it, I would love to know!
I also found this link, not sure how helpful it is http://www.zeropointnine.com/blog/webcam-dvr-for-apollo/
Well, I just think that letting it connect to nothing(NULL) doesn't work. I've already let him try to connect to localhost, but that didn't work out either. I don't think this is even possible. Streaming video works only with Flash Media Server and Red5, not local. Maybe you could install Red5 on you PC?
Sadly video support in flash from cameras is very poor. When you stream its raw so the issue is that you have to encode to FLV and doing it in real time takes a very fast computer. First gen concepts would write raw bitmaps to a file (or serialize an array) then a second method would convert the file to an FLV. Basically you have to poll the camera and save each frame as a bitmap then stack in an array. This is very limited and could not do audio. It was also very hard to get above 5-10fps.
The gent at zero point nine, came up with a new version and your on the right path. Look at the new flv recorder. I spent a lot of time working with this but never quite got it to work for my needs (two cameras). I just could not get the FPS i needed. But it might work for you. It was much faster than the original method.
The only other working option I know of is to have the Red5 save the video and download it back to the app.
