Cannot load HTML template: No launch page defined in template at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Expression\Encoder 4\Templates\en\…

While trying my hands on Expression Encoder 4, I came across this issue that my template was not loading . When I checked my Activity log I found that:

Cannot load HTML template: No launch page defined in template at c:\Program  Files (x86)\Microsoft Expression\Encoder  4\Templates\en\SmoothStreamingMediaElement.
Cannot load HTML template: No  launch page defined in template at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft  Expression\Encoder 4\Templates\en\PlugInMSSCtrl.
Cannot load HTML template:  No launch page defined in template at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft  Expression\Encoder 4\Templates\en\OfflineShared.
Cannot load HTML template:  No launch page defined in template at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft  Expression\Encoder 4\Templates\en\MediaPlayer.
Cannot load HTML template: No  launch page defined in template at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft  Expression\Encoder 4\Templates\en\ExpressionPlayer.
 

The reason for this Error was due to the version change. In Expression Encoder 4 > Templates tab is separated from output tab. So simply I added the tab & selected appropriate template I wanted & the error was removed. It also created the necessary packages required

To Add the Templates Tab, simply go to Windows option and Click Templates.

Using Views to avoid cross database connection – MySQL

Table Views can be used as an unconventional way to avoid cross/multiple database connections sometimes..! Yes, it can be. I came across such case and found that it can be handy in some simple cases when we just want to avoid connection to another database on the same MySQL server and we can't afford to create that table in the same database due to some reasons.

It's very simple. You can have your table "contacts" in "my_db" database and you want to access this table (not just read need to write/insert and update too) in another database named "another_db".
You can have your "contacts" table in "my_db" with following syntax: Read the rest of this entry »

HeidiSQL 5.1 – good has got better

HeidiSQL

HeidiSQL

HeidiSQL has been excellent SQL Administration and Development tool so far for me. HeidiSQL has active development team which keeps adding new feature and upgrading and correcting bugs to get us the great tool for MySQL development.

I have been using HeidiSQL since more than three and half years now and I am really happy with it. I must say that we work with heavy database consisting of more than 400 tables and database size exceeding few GBs but HeidiSQL has never let us down. I have tried loading my development database with phpMyAdmin and SQL Buddy both but they just failed to load such a large database with few hundreds of tables..! But with HeidiSQL I never had any problem except I got some crashing sometime in newer 5.x version but I am sure all such things will be fixed in coming builds. I am not telling that there are no other good tools are available in the market but HeidiSQL is in premium open-source tool at free of cost. I remember I had written a post on HeidiSQL 4.x more than a year ago and today we are up with HeidiSQL 5.1. Read the rest of this entry »

Wodpress 3.0 What’s new? explore the features.!

I am really excited about WordPress 3.0. The good news is WordPress 3.0 has released this month on 17th June 2010. We at DiGiTSS has been using WordPress since more than 2 years now on our multiple domains like Blogs@DiGiTSS and Life@DiGiTSS. It has always been fun working with WordPress. Updates are always as easy as piece of cake; previously with Auto-Update plugin and later since 2.7 I guess auto-upgrade has been integral part of WordPress. WordPress has always evolved in it's features and functionality.

Since I came to know that WordPress3.0 is under the hood and being backed I can't stop myself from downloading a copy and install it on my local system. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s new with iPhone OS 4.0

iPhone OS 4.0 Preview

iPhone OS 4.0 Preview

On April 8, Apple unveiled plans for the biggest and most exciting iPhone software update yet. iPhone OS 4 will include over 100 new user features for iPhone and iPod touch owners to enjoy. And for developers, a new software development kit (SDK) offers over 1500 new APIs to create apps that are even more powerful, innovative, and amazing.

iPhone OS 4 will ship this summer for iPhone and iPod touch, and for iPad in the fall. A developer beta is available now.

The most exciting feature to me is multi-tasking ability; I remember when Apple iPad was launched, the biggest critics were not having ability to multitask. I am happy that it would not be a nag now. Some people commented that Apple should have used downgraded version of Mac OS X instead of building on iPhone OS. But now it seems that it was all well planned by Apple. :)
