so I'm trying to make a radio app using Xamarin.Forms. I decided to use MediaManager, but I've run into some issues with the packages. I've downloaded everything from nuget, but it doesn't seem to be working right. Every example I've seen uses Plugin.MediaManager.Abstractions to control playback, but VisualStudio says that this doesn't exist. Also, I can't say using Plugin.MediaManager at all instead it is having me use using MediaManager which is fine but no one else seems to be doing it that way. At this point I don't know if MediaManager has changed or if it's something with my computer (Mac). Any advice would be appreciated. I just want to figure out how to use IPlaybackController.
Recently I started seeing the following nonsense with the satellite images in my Google Earth plugin:
The incorrect tiles fade in and out as I zoom, and at some zoom levels everything looks fine.
This happens across browsers (chrome, IE9, Firefox), but only on my machine. I've tried re-installing the plugin, but that didn't seem to help.
I'm using plugin version 6.2.2.6613
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?
I have seen this problem before and again recently. The first time I was told it could be conflicts with the hardware accelerators but then the problem just went away.
Until recently I have had two instances of the plugin running in the same desktop application with no problems. Then a couple of days ago I started seeing the problem again although it is not happening today. I don't know if it would help but I would suggest rebooting your computer.
I've also wondered if Google was updating the plugin or the maps...
Sorry I can't be of any help but I suspect it will go away soon.
It looks like a DirectX issue to me. One possibility to fix is to force the plugin to use OpenGL instead.
You can control whether the plugin usese DirectX or OpenGL by altering the registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\GoogleEarthPlugin\Render\RenderingApi
The allowed values are:
0 (DirectX)
1 (OpenGL)
Try setting the value to use OpenGL to see if it resolves the issue.
Also, if it is a DirectX issue you could try disabling direct3D (as well as and texture acceleration) via the dxdiag as others have suggested.
Finally, you could also try disabling write combing on your card if it is enabled. This is usually done via the display properties for the card you are using.
I found that problem only occurs when I have multiple instances of the plug-in running. Especially if I have it running in two different browsers at the same time.
After migrating from 3.3.5 to 4.1, some folders show their contents properly while some give this error
AttributeError: getLocallyAllowedTypes
How can I fix it?

You really need to include more detail when asking others for help. When asking for help with software, it's very important to include not only tracebacks but also what add-ons you are using. Your original question should have mentioned that you're using contentleadimage. It also should have mentioned that you're using Collage, something I only found out from the traceback.
At any rate the problem appears to be that Collage, contentleadimage, or some combination of your add-one are not compatible with 4.1.
I ran into this problem myself when using wsapi4plone.core to sling content across. Some of my ZODBs have been upgraded all the way from 2.0.5 and we decided this migration would be a good opportunity to 'clean' the content.
The fix is to go to the offending folders on the content source, and from the 'Add new' > 'Restrictions' and check the appropriate choice.
MY suspicion is that these were older folders (prior to the property existing) that had not updated properly and had never been edited since. I didn't dig too deep since there were only a few.
I've got this very odd bug that appears to be a quirk in Visual Studio 2010: Sometimes, when moving the cursor into double quotes of a CSS style="" attribute the cursor refuses to move. I can't type anything, and the keys that respond are the UP/DOWN cursor keys and the DEL key (but not BACKSPACE).
Typing does nothing, but pushing LEFT/RIGHT on the cursor keys produces the following error:
The operation could not be completed
I've got no idea what's causing this, but I would hazard a guess that Intellisense is getting very confused and bugging out.
At the moment, whenever this happens, I have to write any CSS outsite of the double quotes of the style attribute and then place the cursor where I want the CSS to appear (using the mouse) and press CTRL-V to paste it in. Very annoying :(
There must be a way of fixing this problem...?
Hopefully someone has an answer!
Just encountered the issue in VS 2012, in editing C#.
I noticed that the problem had occurred soon after the trial period of Resharper has ended and i inserted a valid license number. It also happened in only some of the source files.
The solution: Tools->Options->Resharper: Suspend.
Try typing - should work now.
Then: Tools->Options->Resharper: Resume.
Problem gone.
I have encountered this using Visual Studio 2013 and Resharper 8.2.1. None of the solutions provided in this thread worked (even suspending and resuming Resharper)
After contacting JetBrains support, it turned out to be a caching issue.
Deleting all the files from the following directory solved the issue, as Resharper re-creates new caches:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\JetBrains\ReSharper\v8.2\SolutionCaches\[Project_reference]
I have some odd issues with the editor occasionally, a workaround for me is:
Ctrl-Tab (x2) to another code file and back to the same code (or alt tab to another app and back, one of these two... can't replicate issue to be sure)
An ultimate solution might be a re-install.
Microsoft have had variations on this problem reported quite a few times via their support portal. Here is one post and if you scroll down you will see a comment with a bunch of other reports all detailing similar(ish) problems.
Microsoft doesn't seem to be able to reproduce the problem but are "duping all the similar keyboard locking problems to a central bug, so that we can think a way to log the events if necessary". Which seems to be a generic response to a lot of these posts. Some people reported that it was simply becuase another window/pane/tab was in focus but I can see the OP obviously did not have this specific problem. Looks to me like one of those random unresolvable bugs. Hope I never get it! There's also numerous forum posts around the Internet, where users stated that removing certain 3rd party plugins has solved this issue.
I just spotted this particular post which has a possibly useful comment on it for you (which also link to this SO post. As I do not have the bug I cannot test its validity for you. The main point of it seems to be something about the keyboard layout switching.
I'm sorry for putting all this into an answer when technically it is not an answer and just a mass of research, but there was no way this was gonna fit into a comment. And also sorry for pretty much link spamming, but again there was no way I could extract everything that they said into this post. I hope there is something useful in there for you :)
EDIT: You should probably check the top rated answer below as this seems to solve a number of peoples issues, although I never had the Resharper plugin and still occasionally experienced this, but now I'm on VS2013 and have not had this problem re-occur, so maybe they fixed it...
Empty the solution cache folder
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\JetBrains\ReSharper\v8.2\SolutionCaches\
This was suggested by JetBrains support when I contacted them.
Permanently fixing... Not too sure however I found that pressing pressing Ctrl+Shift+Caps Lock+Tab all at once seems to get rid of this and enables the mouse and keyboard again. I know this isn't the best of solutions but it works.
I have the same problem several times a day. I didn't notice it until I installed the web essentials extension. I just uninstalled it and will see what happens. I have tried reinstalling visual studio with no joy (but again, I didn't notice the problem until after I had already installed the various extensions).
Sometimes, closing and re-opening the specific code window I'm working in fixes it. If that fails, sometimes I close all windows and reopen just the one I was actively editing. If all of that fails it usually requires a complete restart of visual studio.
I find it funny that MSFT says that they can't duplicate the problem. Scott Guthrie experienced it first hand during his MVC4 beta demo here at about 28 minutes in.
UPDATE: So far, as of 4-5-2012 9:33am Central Time, the problem hasn't recurred since uninstalling Web Essentials. This is the longest I've gone without this bug occurring. If I make it through the next 24 hours, I'll be confident in blaming Web Essentials.
UPDATE: 4-6-2012 10:05am Central Time: Well, apparently it wasn't Web Essentials. It happened to me again this morning editing the contents of a block in my _Layout.vbhtml file. Closing the tab and reopening it fixed it.
I frequently encounter this editor freeze, not just on CSS quotes but any file arbitrarily. I have a dual monitor setp and I have the doucment windows one one monitor and all tool windows on the next one. Sometimes, certain tool windows would freeze too (i.e. not respond to click).
Previously, I used to shutdown/restart IDE; but serendipitously, I discovered that switching to/from Full Screen mode, restores sanity. So now everytme I see a freeze, mode switching comes to rescue.
Not sure if this will solve your issue, but worth a shot.
Rant: In general, I find this new WPF based product very falky and unstable than its predeccessors.
I have the same problem on IDE, some times the Return key is not working at all...
My solution is: CLEAN the project/solution.
BTW: CLEANing resolve also other unexpected behaviours after amendements on CSS or HTML.
I tried every other workaround here but nothing seemed to work, and the issue was only present in one solution but not another.
Disabling Resharper fixed it temporarily but it came back after re-enabling it which wasn't a viable long-term solution.
What worked for me was disabling all Resharper Extensions (Under Resharper -> Extension Manager). I was able to type again even after re-enabling all of them, so I'm unsure which extension specifically caused the issue, but that's another route to try for people who still have this issue.
I never had the problem until I installed plugins/extensions. Curious to know if anyone has had this problem without having any plugins/extensions installed. I don't know if they are the actual cause but since benefits of the plugins outweigh the occasional lockup, I have left them installed. BTW, I use the "closing/reopening of the window with the lockup" technique.
Using a source control (GIT, AKSVN)? If so, disable it, restart VS then enable it and open the solution again.
I started looking at Silverlight.FX by Nikhil Kothari to replace Prism/Unity with our Silverlight 3 project.
So far I like the code layout and structure. It looks well thought out.
But I can't get a lot of the samples working due to a System.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException. Anyone else seeing this? Should I not be using this framework with Silverlight 3?
I'm using the framework with Silverlight 3 without issue. Referencing the pre-built dlls works for my project but I haven't tried compiling the source myself. Have you tried using the dlls?
After some heavy debugging this error is coming because some of the class names that Nikhil used I believe are now in Silverlight 3 beta 1. In the TaskList example the ListView's DataTemplate has a HoverEffect
<fxeffects:ColorFill FillColor="#406795D1" Duration="0:0:0.25"/>
This is the one causing all the problems I saw. Removing this took away the AmbiguousMatchException.
Well, that is avoiding the problem, not solving it. It looks like the problem is much deeper, and anything that uses classes that derive from the Effect base class is broken. That makes the use of Silverlight FX pretty boring.
I have tried to use the lib in the past, and had issues with it. While Nikhil Kothari is amazing in the things he has worked on, and his technical abilities, I find that he is not so responsive to solving issues (BTW, someone already posted this problem on his blog, without his response). I do not want this to sound like a knock on Nikhil, it is just something you need to consider when using open source for real-world projects.
I sure hope someone can figure out what the deal is with those classes, I have spent many hours debugging, without solving the issue.
I tried the Amazon Store sample and the TaskList sample using the latest version of the library (3.1 built against SL3), and samples seem to work fine, including the ColorFill effect.
I did rename the Effect class to AnimationEffect which you'd need to avoid the ambiguous API compile error you'd see if you tried to recompile the sources... but precompiled binaries would have been fine. Not sure I see why you'd get a runtime reflection issue however.
Sorry, I know it can be frustrating to not see a response/fix immediately, but theres just too many things going on esp. before a release. My hope is having the source around at least enables you to debug into/break into so at least one is not completely blocked. Yes, I realize its suboptimal, but at the same time it is the reality, as Noam pointed out... :-(
