My goal is to record motion with the oculus go and replay this recording on a desktop computer. Currently I can record, save the recording and replay the recording on the oculus go itself. However when I wish to replay on the computer nothings happens because A-frame is clever enough to see there is no controller connected:
"The controller components following are only activated if they detect the controller is found and seen as connected in the Gamepad API." (Aframe.io)
What would be the best way to tackle this?

I just have a general question. Can you send a url from a button on the band. I have a home automation system that you can trigger events by sending a RESTful url (endpoint) to. Basically I can put the url in any web browser and trigger the event. It would be great if this could be done through the Band. I don't really need a response from the Url, just to send it.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Scott
No, the Band communicates only via Bluetooth to (applications on) its paired device. On Windows (Phone), the application must be running, with a connection to the Band, and subscribed to the Tile button pressed event in order to receive such notifications. This generally rules out scenarios that require ad-hoc input from the Band unless you're willing to use voice commands via Cortana.
But i think its possible by creating custom tile and handling custom tile events. Haven't tried it in my project but can see from sdk documentation.
For android you can implement broadcast receiver and listen to tile events. Check: sdk doc
Chap 9, page 51
In short, yes it is possible.
However, the problem would be that the button would be single use to only send that ONE URL command and it actually wouldn't be done via the Band.
You can create custom layouts for your applications with the Microsoft Band SDK which will allow you to create a button. You'll then need to register to the click event from the Band which then would get fired on the device the app is running on. From there, you'd be able to send the URL but it would be sent from the Windows Phone or Windows PC rather than the Band so you'd need to be connected. The documentation covers how you can do this here: http://developer.microsoftband.com/Content/docs/Microsoft%20Band%20SDK.pdf
A downside to doing this with WinRT is that as soon as the app is closed and the connection to the Band is lost, your button click won't have any action. The best way to get around this is to create the connection to the Band in a background task but unfortunately, you can't keep hold of the connection to the Band for an infinite amount of time and you'd have to live with the possibilities that you may have times where it doesn't work. I have a GitHub sample which shows you how to connect to the Band in a background task for an indefinite amount of time.
The Microsoft Band has really been developed for the Health aspect and collecting data rather than interactions with other apps which it does in some way support.
I would like to be able to record online radio from my wordpress website. Has anyone came across an API or software that can help me archive this.
There are several stream recorders which would do that (e.g.: Tubemaster++, Orbit Stream Downloader, Replay Media Catcher and more) and there is an (expensive) application called Total Recorder, which can record directly from your soundcard (with own system driver to get the sound from the device).
But be aware that not every stream allows you to record, you could have legal problems with this.
But if it is "your wordpress website" I guess this is your music anyway?
I'm trying to develop a chrome extension which will capture http packets, their source and destination URLS, the packet size.
Basically I want to know how much time the user spends on a particular site for the duration the browser is active.
I used JNetPcap and successfully have written a java code for the same but i cant find a way to implement the browser close event in Java.
Also chrome extensions need to be in javascript.
Can anyone suggest a way to go about this?
Your initial approach is flawed to begin with. What do you mean by "time spent on a site"? The page loads, packets cease to flow, yet the user is still reading the page. Just network analysis is hardly a good metric.
And what about external resources? Do your users "spend time" on Google Analytics website when trackers make their requests?
If you are dead-set on network capture, chrome.webRequest or chrome.webNavigation APIs should let you tap into requests made by the client.
As for implementing this properly as a Chrome extension, it should be trivial. You can use chrome.tabs API to keep track of open/active tabs.
Declare "tabs" permission to get access to URL data
On initialization, query current tabs (or just the active tab)
Listen to onCreated for new tabs, or better yet for onActivated for change of visible tab (possibly do so with windows too, there's a separate API for that)
Within the active tab, track URL changes with onUpdated
If you're new to extension development, start with the Overview. Good read, and a good hub to other documentation.
As for recommending JavaScript resources, I'll pass; too many of them.
Does anyone know of an AIR Native Extension (ANE) that allows you to access the device's notification sound(s)? OR, a method to query if the device is in "silent" or "vibrate" mode?
I've set up Push Notifications, but no sound plays on my (Android) device.
I know I can play my own sounds, but I want to use the native notification sound (the same as an SMS or email alert sound) and I don't want the sound to play if it shouldn't (viz. silent mode / vibrate mode).
I've been looking for hours and there's a "Vibrate ANE," and others looking for the same type of capability, but I haven't found anything usable for native sound notifications.
I believe that iOS automatically will play a notification sound when it receives a push notification (I think), but Android just flashes the "shade title" & shows the app's icon for the notification.
Maybe someone else has stumbled across a solution??? =)
Many Thanks!
Todd =D
I think you might have to be careful attempt to access the built in sounds on iOS.
We definitely could write an extension that played any of the system sounds. However I believe these sounds are copyrighted, and my understanding of the Apple ToS is that your application may get rejected from the AppStore if you use them directly.
This is why things like a notifications extension only use a "default notification" value to access system sounds that are set by the user. These sounds are played on certain system events.
The sounds are all accessed via undocumented IDs: http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/AudioServices
So yeah we’ve been very cautious of writing anything that could put developers in trouble with the AppStore. You have enough problems getting apps through as is. But if you read otherwise let me know.
I am new to flex but my first app is a little bit more pro than you would expect form a rookie. I would like to record sound that is currently played on the local computer (i.e. form winamp or youtube). I saw some codes that use the microphone, but this is undesired. The client machine may not have a microphone hardware or may play the sound on headphones. I think this must be possible but may be not a common task so that's why I can't find the solution? Can any one help?
I believe the user of your app has to select their "input device" and allow access for the Flash web baesd app to access that input device. But, once they do the choosing, you should be able to access that Audio feed using the same microphone APIs.
bring up the Flash Player context menu and select settings. then click the microphone tab. You should see a list of all possibly options. at this moment, one option I have is "Stereo Mix" which I'm pretty sure will send out all the info from the computer.
