BajaNomad - REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO EMBED SOUND IN A THREAD YOU GENERATE [MANUAL PLAY IS ON]

REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO EMBED SOUND IN A THREAD YOU GENERATE [MANUAL PLAY IS ON]

Pages: 1 2

ELINVESTIG8R - 1-1-2010 at 10:57 AM

I making this thread to ask for advanced permission of the people on Baja Nomad for their expressed permission to embed sound in a thread they create. If you give me the permission I promise to remove it at your request after I embed it if you do not like it.

1. “Yes Elinvesti8 I give you my expressed permission to embed sounds into any thread I generate here on Baja Nomad with the understanding you will delete it if I do not like it.”

2. “No Elinvesti8 I do not give you my permission to embed sounds into a thread I generate here on Baja Nomad.”

Please log on and cut and paste the one that you wish.

Thank You

David Elinvesti8 M.

Mmmmm, maybe the solution is to leave it big enough for someone to see it so they can turn it off if they want to when it is in autoplay leaving the Volume turned low so it does not blast them out of their chair when they open up the thread.

How does something as innocent as putting an idea out there to do something albeit different, but creative end up where we are. God forgive the mean and nasty people who have responded! I include myself for having used the words Chicken Coop Groupers.

i think this adds a whole new dimension to the entertainment value here if the Dougmeister will allow.

Dave - look for U2U from me.

As long as I don't hear any of that Rap Crap, I'm all for it.

Nothing personal, sounds is a very subject thing.. and can change a mood in a heart beat... but, I like your approach and your overall knowledge in these area's... have been a lot of help, along with others on many of these techniques to add things to a post to make it "stand out" a bit more... and in most cases improve the ability to communicate "feelings and thoughts" .... and thanks for that...

I think the sound may slow down my surf-speed on Nomads ? Anyone else ?

DENNIS - 1-1-2010 at 11:20 AM

Sounds like most here leave their speakers on. I don't.

just found out it was there

yeah, me too.. until I put up something with sound, and then I heard all this other stuff, in the background of some of the other posts... I did not even know it was there...

Hook - 1-1-2010 at 11:32 AM

So, does the embedded sound only play if it is embedded in the first post of a thread? Or, does it play whenever it is embedded in ANY post within the thread?

It seems like the latter. That being the case, what does it matter if people like this "feature" or not? Everyone has to hear it if it's a thread started by a person granting permission. There is really no indication which post it is embedded in. What does it matter who's post it is embedded in?

I personally dont like it. Too distracting. But I am not of the gen-x and later crowd that seems to have to have a soundtrack wherever they go in life. MP this, Ipod that, texting and talking while doing everything else in life (probably even while doing Baja).

I guess I will just turn down my sound when I hit the Nomad board. :rolleyes:

Larry I don't know how to do that nor do I know if it can be done. For now I'll take your answer to be:

Bajahowodd - 1-1-2010 at 12:54 PM

Nope. As was touched on early in the thread, any sounds you may choose will be a reflection of your reaction to the topic or the post, and will run throughout the thread. Feel free to post your own opinions on anything I post. Feel free to imbed sounds in your own threads; just not mine.

Happy New Year!

LOSARIPES - 1-1-2010 at 01:13 PM

elinvesti8,
As far as I am concerned, you can embed any sound you like to a thread you access. It will bear your "signature" and will help you express your opinion or feeling about any given topic. Anyone not wanting to hear the sound can opt to silence his/her speakers. That simple. Isn't that what forums and freedom of expression are all about? What is the big fuss?
What is really noteworthy here is your consideration. Thanks for asking.

Amen Brother!!

With respect, please consider giving this option a miss on Baja Nomad.

Your presence and contributions on the website is appreciated by one and all, I believe I can safely say, but I personally find the addition of non-stop sound on these public threads to be completely intrusive and annoying.

As usual you give an over the top response which was not necessary, well of course unless you are under attack which you were not. I guess you have this unnatural need to bowl people over which does not work with me. Sigh!

well, OK, if you must

BUT ONLY IF

you start the thread's title with the word "SOUND" so readers know they're about to become listeners and can do as they wish.

I usually find embedded sound/music annoying.

If you're a budding foley editor, go for it.

May I add that you have given a new dimension for grumpies to complain about. The idea that some have expressed is quite entertaining - MY POSTS ARE MY SACRED POSTS and NOT TO BE MESSED WITH.

'Tards, it is the Internet - you own nothing.

A simple "NO" would probably do. No need for anybody to act like he's requesting your pin number.
David isn't the administrator here and he knows that. He's only trying to offer some entertainment.
Doug will have the final word on this issue, for those of you who forgot who's steering the boat.
Happy New Year. Relax. Have a frosty Pacifico. Turn off your speakers. Jeeeezo...Chill out.

Bob H - 1-1-2010 at 01:54 PM

I don't understand the problem if we can request that it be deleted. I would be interested to see what you come up with.

Thank you k-Rico. I will not embed sound into your threads.

I am trying to find out who on Baja Nomad would not mind me embedding sound in their thread that they produce. If they don't give permission it's of course ok too.

I just don't need to hear some jerk response from some people when I am being a nice person about it and not myself being a jerk.

k-rico - 1-1-2010 at 02:05 PM

Just so you know, I prefer you skip embedding sounds in all threads except the ones you create and if so, warn us in the title with the word SOUND.

If things don't start being nicer on this thread, I'm going to post the....dreaded Baja dog photo.

Right now, I am holding off, but if you children can't play nice (even the bigoted 'tards from Arkansas) the dog is coming out.

and I would prefer not to listen to sound on any threads unless I choose to turn it on and hear it, like following a link.

While I often enjoy your cartoons, I find the music intrusive.

To those who welcome the addition to your threads, I guess I just won't be reading your posts with soundtracks.

Do you remember about 20 years ago when all the Mexicano guys in Fresno Calif. started going up and down Blackstone Ave Blasting everyone within a Mile with the Loud Music?

That is the reason!

I have contacted several companies trying to get them to develop a device that would "FRY" the Speakers. That way I could hit them with it as they came by and Fry their Speakers costing them a Bunch of Money

It is somehwat siliar to gettin a device that would let the Air out of four Tires by just pushing a Button.. That way you could deflate a Tailgaters tires and just drive On!!.

1. You have started a thread that will never be allowed by Doug who is probably on vacation now so on it goes.

2. I for one, if I thought there was uncalled for music in the thread would not enter or leave immediately.

3. I think it would be infringing on our rights even if the poster said it was OK because it may not be OK for the person entering the post.

k-rico - 1-1-2010 at 09:04 PM

This is all pretty strange.

We can post videos that have audio and no one has a problem with that. But many, including myself initially, object to only audio. Why is that?

The reason is many times audio is embedded so that it starts automatically and if you don't want to hear it you have to turn it off. The proper method is to require the user to take action to turn it on, it should default to off.

To do this you need a simple control.

These folks have a nice solution. It's a small control that is displayed in line with your text. Bajanomad will have to get into the admin part of the system and create a custom bbcode tag and enter the html that will be inserted in place of the tag when the page renders. It's all here, a quick look indicates it will work with XMB (this system) but it will take some effort and you may not be able to get all that is needed off their server:

http://www.entertonement.com/static/samples

See the "Hear It Inline!" paragraph about 1/2 down the page.

Audio that starts automatically when the page loads should not be used anywhere on the Internet. It's usually the amateurs that do it.

BajaCat I'm just asking permission of those who would allow it to allow me to embed some approriate sound in the thread they generate i.e a song, music, etc. Those who tell me no of course I will always respect that. It's pretty simple and forthright. Just another avenue of creativity. Nothing more sinister than that. As with anything else posted here a few people get positively offensive. But hey, their vote has been duly noted and registered. David

David thanks for your honest answer and good luck.

For me, the issue is not that of the audio itself. I thought the audio of the plane on Capt. Mike’s thread was clever and amusing. I took issue with perpetuating rumors and screwing with someone’s livelihood. The whole cat tangent on a restaurant review was so wrong on so many levels, especially following an honest, positive review that was offered in the spirit of doing a good deed for a worthy Baja restaurant. I can only imagine the hurt in the eyes of Sin Lee’s owners if they were to learn that a bunch of thoughtless, juvenile yuksters were playing around with their reputation. Yeah...like they could afford that in this economy. And the smear will remain to be read over & over again.

I said "No" because I would not trust your judgment.

Do you even know the story behind that?? I have the dubious honor (?) of being the inspiration behind that rant and that makes me a charter member.

A few years ago after a camping trip with three other women, I posted a trip report and included some disappointments about amenities, considering what we had paid and what was promised, but we still had a good time. When two of the other women posted in agreement to the issues I had mentioned, JR was quick to label us a bunch of hens...cluck, cluck, and a relentless smear campaign against us began. He got real ugly. “N” word ugly.

JR was a classic bully, and he was pretty proud of himself for that mess and the term morphed into the gender-neutral Chicken Coop Group, which just denotes a group of people who agree on a subject and voice opinions in support of each other. So what?

And now you know the rest of the story.....Good day.

k-rico - 1-1-2010 at 09:50 PM

ELINVESTI8,

Did you read my last post? Embedding audio and embedding video is the same thing from a user acceptance point of view IF the audio player behaves as the current video player; i.e., it defaults to off.

You asking permission of everybody misses the fact that others may want to post audio files. Aren't others allowed to do it? And I don't see the logic. It may be OK with the person who starts the thread and very annoying to the majority of others reading the thread. Eventhough you appear to being considerate by asking, you're being considerate of only the person who starts the thread and no one else who participates. It doesn't make sense.

The system admin will need to modify the system to play audio files. The control that is picked to be used should default to off. The reader needs to take action to hear the audio.

Embedding audio files that start automatically when the page loads should be a violation of the terms of use.

This solution works for everybody, pro and anti audio folks alike.

The whole cat tangent on a restaurant review was so wrong on so many levels, especially following an honest, positive review that was offered in the spirit of doing a good deed for a worthy Baja restaurant. I can only imagine the hurt in the eyes of Sin Lee’s owners if they were to learn that a bunch of thoughtless, juvenile yuksters were playing around with their reputation. "

You give yourself to much credit. I eat at Sin Lees and I have never seen any one of you guys in there. Dont give the website so much credit. It just isnt happening. Now as far as ELINVEST dubbing sound on my posts go for it. Ifothers dont like it they can just turn down thier speakers. I've never met a bunch of sniveling cry babys as I have on this post. Grow up you bunch of babys!

I of course will respect that and do not think I need comment further about that.

I will say this, since I mentioned CCG in the thread. Although the remark was not directed at you specifically, I will give you high marks for admitting what you quoted below and thank you for sharing your story about JrBaja. It was a hoot.

I think we can now move on as the first part of your dissertation should be placed in the thread labeled: BAJA Themed Avatars and Chinese food at Sin Lee's respectively.

Whew. I guess we can move forward now. Have a blessed day Jeans.

Sincerely,

David Elinvesti8 M.

Did you read my last post? Embedding audio and embedding video is the same thing from a user acceptance point of view IF the audio player behaves as the current video player; i.e., it defaults to off.

You asking permission of everybody misses the fact that others may want to post audio files. Aren't others allowed to do it? And I don't see the logic. It may be OK with the person who starts the thread and very annoying to the majority of others reading the thread. Eventhough you appear to being considerate by asking, you're being considerate of only the person who starts the thread and no one else who participates. It doesn't make sense.

The system admin will need to modify the system to play audio files. The control that is picked to be used should default to off. The reader needs to take action to hear the audio.

Embedding audio files that start automatically when the page loads should be a violation of the terms of use.

This solution works for everybody, pro and anti audio folks alike.

Yes I read it K-Rico. Thank you for your input! :biggrin:

I am more interested in why you you keep persuing this. Obviously the majority here do not like to jump up to turn down their blaring speakers because you might want to embed the sound of a Trophy Truck driving by.

So you take a poll which in turn reflects a general consensus although it seems to me you are just waiting for Doug to decide.

So is this whole exercise a grand waste of all of our time? :?:

Let it go man.

Sharksbaja "For the the record" I am not waiting for anyone to decide anything. I think it pretty much has been decided by the majority. Which is ok with me. Thank you for your input.

Please log on and cut and paste the one that you wish.

Thank You

Mmmmm, maybe the solution is to leave it big enough for someone to see it so they can turn it off if they want to when it is in autoplay leaving the Volume turned low so it does not blast them out of their chair when they open up the thread.

If it's not against the rules, then I guess there's nothing I can say one way or the other. How do you embed music anyway? How is it done?

Just add one of these in the thread you start. Probably best to use the manualplay instead of the autoplay.

[flash= 75x75]http://www.youtube.com/v/k4WSjkMGlP4&manualplay=1[/flash]

Make sure all gaps are closed between any spaces.

There you go. Let's have a tutorial so we're all able to embedd music anywhere. :biggrin:

Now that should make for a lot of fun. :biggrin:

While I could be mistaken, I do not believe there is a "manualplay" variable. It's either autoplay=1 (on) or autoplay=0 (off; default). As =0 is the default, if there's no "autoplay=1" variable included, the item will not autoplay - it'll be up to the user to hit the "play" button for the item.

btw... the proper setting on this board would be autoplay=0 (off), allowing users to decide yes or no. Otherwise it's clearly "objectionable material".

BajaNomad - 1-2-2010 at 02:54 PM

And lets not even discuss the "loop=" variable.....

:rolleyes:

Packoderm - 1-2-2010 at 02:57 PM

Perhaps we also need a manual view, autoview=0 (off), on all posts because having text automatically pop up without the member's consent would be objectionable as well?

"NO noise without consent."

Thank you very much for the update. :smug:

Right.
If you objected to text, would you be here ?
What would you do here ?
Are you still here ?

I think that is what he is saying. Isn't that why he is asking out permission? The only thing I see wrong is that when we opt out on our own posts, the embedded sound still comes up on others' posts when we open them.

Knew you were into this big time.. but, good, but good, and looking forward to your contributions.. this is a fun medium... go for it... I can always turn it down or off..

Question, will one be able to comment and or vote on your choice of "embed media"??as that seems like it would be a LOT of fun !!!......

Being that everyone agrees on what "good music" and/or "good special effects" and/or "Art" ..

However, artist have to have a thick skin to do anything along these lines, right.. You as an artist, "put your heart on your sleeve".. as, if they don't like you they "boo", "throw things", "talk about your mother", just plain ignore your work.. oh, that's right this is the internet.. but, I know there are some other artists out there.. and I would welcome their thoughts on this subject..
