Hello, Patrick Shirkey wrote: A .cfm suffix denotes a Cold Fusion (Macromedia) template. The template most likely contains HTML and Cold Fusion markup tags, and ascii content. The Cold Fusion markup tags are read and executed by the Cold Fusion server. I don't know what you mean by stream. But data in Cold Fusion is usually stored in Cold Fusion variables. There are a number of different types of variables, but the most common type is instantiated as: <CFSET myVariable = "my string" > <CFSET myVariable = 10> Cold Fusion also uses lists and arrays. Here's and example of a list:: <CFSET myList = "myValue,10,20,anotherValue"> This list is comma separated, but you can define any character you want as a separator. I hope this is helpful. Feel free to communicate off-list if you'd like to discuss further. lloyd(a)paisite.com Best wishes, Lloyd R. Prentice

Hi Patrick, Patrick Shirkey wrote: Cold Fusion deals with files through the <CFFILE ACTION="someAction"> tag, where someAction = Move|Rename|Copy|Delete|Read|Write. An example of the Read action would be: <CFFILE ACTION="Read" FILE="file_name" VARIABLE="var_name"> var_name is the name of the CF variable that will contain the file once it's read. Is this any more help? Best wishes, Lloyd R. Prentice

could you not wget the URL in question and see what headers are sent back by the web server. that might clear up what kind of file is being sent back. you could also look at the text of the returned file to find out if its a meta stream description or something. - matthew On Sat, 12 Oct 2002 17:33:00 -0400 "Lloyd R.

Hi Patrick, Send me a few URLs and take a look to see what I can see. Best wishes, Lloyd Patrick Shirkey wrote:

Hello, Patrick Shirkey wrote: The ?mixid=5014 specifies a URL variable 'mixid' with value 5014. This is passed into the launch.cfm template as a URL variable. Without looking at the template source, we can't know what the variable is conditioning since it would be processed on the server side. I have no idea where you can find an audio application that has a feature that enables it to read a *.cfm template directly but, presumably, the authors of the *.cfm template are using Cold Fusion to dynamically select either the name or the data of a *.asf file from a server directory or database then, pass the result onto another Cold Fusion function, most likely on the server side, for display or to some audio application for rendering. When Macromedia bought Cold Fusion from Allaire, they started merging it with their Flash application. It may be, now that I think about it, that the dj set is being selected to run as Flash data. If this is the case, then it may be difficult to impossible to access the dj set unless you have access to the *.cfm source and the server from which the *.cfm template is being served. (All of the logic (except for embedded Javascript) in a *.cfm template is run on the server side. Only HTML and Javascript is passed on to the client.) But the question to ask here is "what is this *.cfm template programmed to do?" If you have access to source, then we can probably figure it out. Otherwise, you'll have to gather what clues you can by reviewing the site as a whole and by looking at the html source of the launch.cfm page via "View Source" on your browser (which probably won't tell you much). The name "launch" suggests that the template wants to actually execute the dj set. To do this, it has to either pass a file name or actual data on to some other application. The first question is "does this happen on the server side or the client side?" If it happens on the client side then there's a chance that you can snag it, since there are a limited number of ways of passing parameters to a client-side application through Cold Fusion -- usually through some client-side file. If happens on the server side then you may be screwed. Best wishes, Lloyd R. Prentice

thats working fine thanks! (had to enable old OSS support in the realplayer options for sone reason) cheers matthew On Sat, 12 Oct 2002 13:39:11 +0200 Vincent Touquet &lt;vincent.touquet(a)pandora.be&gt; wrote:
