Correct.Actually it's your video card that will. If there are actual sound 
cards with HDMI ports this is news to me.

NVDA, Replay Media Catcher 6 Using Schedule tab control to set up future recordings

2015-06-14 Thread Petro T. Giannakopoulos
Using the Schedule Tab Control to setup a future timed recording and more.
Replay Media Catcher 6.0.0.75
Will refer as RMC6
NVDA 2015.1
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Read the RMC6 user guide first.

Configuring the Conversion Settings button control within the Schedule tab 
control.
Works the same way as the RMC6 main interface Conversion Settings button 
control.
The Schedule tab control allows one to set up future recordings by time and 
date. Its very powerful.
To find this Schedule tab control you would,
Run RMC6 desktop icon.
Wait for the splash screen to load.
Do a shift tab key press. Then tab one time.
NVDA will say Tab control.
Maximize RMC6
Where you heard NVDA say Tab Control simply use your down arrow key to hear,
Home
Usually it will take you to the Guides tab control so press up arrow to hear 
Home tab control,
Press down arrow repeatedly to hear the rest shown below,
Guides
Schedule
Settings
Get Support

So locate the Schedule tab control with your arrow key.
Press your tab key one time from the Schedule tab control.
You will land on the New Schedule button.
Press spacebar to activate the New Schedule button.
You will have focus in the General tab sheet properties and will be in the 
Schedule name edit field.
If you shift+tab away from this Schedule Name edit fieldyou will hear NVDA say 
Tab Control.
This signifies you have landed on the Schedule tab sheet tabs area.
Use your right arrow key repeatedly to hear all the tab sheets that are 
available for the Schedule properties window.
You can use your left arrow key if necessary.
The Schedule window has the following property tab sheets.
General | Schedule | Settings | Split |Override Tags

Use insert+tab to hear the control name when in the properties.

Schedule > General tab properties tips

Press insert+tab and you will hear the name of your control. For example when 
focus on the Capture Method combo box NVDA will say 
Capture Method combo box

We are on the,
Capture Method combo box / drop down
Press letter A repeatedly to hear the available options.
Press letter D repeatedly to hear the available options.
Using the down arrow key does not work here.

Next press tab to hear the next control.
Use insert+tab to hear NVDA say
At Complete: combo box None
This combo box works so use your down or up arrow keys.

Further down there will be an edit box to paste in your media URL address.

When you hear this save schedule button, my experience only, stop at this save 
schedule button and do not proceed with the tab key press but press ctrl+tab to 
place focus in the next tab sheet properties within  the Schedule window 
properties.
Basically it will jump to the next tab sheet properties.
You will see checkboxes for Monday thru Sunday.

Next you have,
TZ time zone combo box 
This is for your media source local broadcast time. The time they broadcast in 
their time zone and not to be confused with your local time settings.

Next we have the Start time combo box and start date combo boxes.
Use insert+tab to hear the control's name and values / digit numbers you have 
set.

The start time combo box edit field defaults to the AM / PM field. 
Use up or down arrow key and you will toggle this from AM to PM or PM to AM.
To verify the change press insert+tab and NVDA will say the value / digits.

Use your home keyboard key to place focus on the hour value.
Then use up or down arrow key to set the hour value number.
Use insert+tab to hear you settings you have set for the time.
Press right arrow 3 times to set the minutes value for your start time.
Use up or down arrow keys to set the minutes value.
Use insert+tab to hear your start time settings.
Press your END keyboard key to set the AM / PM setting.
This is your E N D keyboard key and not the letter N key I am referring to here.
Use up or down arrow key to set the AM / PM.
Use insert+tab to hear the settings.

You have set the start time.

Press your tab key next.

You land on the start date combo box.
Use the same steps mentioned above dealing with the start time settings.
The steps work the same way.

Now press your tab keyboard key to land on the Duration edit field.
This Duration field requires a number value.
Press insert+num pad 7 two times until it says no review.
Press insert+numpad1 for object review.
Press insert+numpad2
Press insert+numpad 5 to hear the current value for the duration edit field.
type in a value now like 60.
Press insert+numpad 5 to hear the value you have set for the duration field.
If its incorrect then press your END key. That is the E N D keyboard key. Press 
backspace to delete these numbers and now type in 60.
Press insert+numpad 5 to hear the duration value.
You can use the standard up and down arrow keys to change your current value 
you have typed in already.
If its correct then press insert+numpad1 to get out of object review.
Type in 60 for 1 hour recording.
Type 120 for 2 hou

NVDA, RMC6 and list view situations

2015-06-14 Thread Petro T. Giannakopoulos

Replay Media Catcher 6.0.0.75
Will refer as RMC6
Using the list view (files list) & invoking the context menu list for a 
particular file in the list view
NVDA 2015.1
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Blindreplay blog

When using NVDA the list view will not display your files you have captured 
unless you have two or more files via captures or recordings.
JAWS does not have this behavior.
Solutions are to use,
alt+i which is the import keyboard shortcut to import two not so important 
files into the list view contents area.
After you have done your very first capture you will notice three new buttons 
immediately after the list view control and they are,
Properties
Play
Show in Folder
Choose the show in folder button with spacebar and this will open your Windows 
Explorer / Files Explorer default storage location. This is your hard drive 
location where your files are stored currently. This was set by the Applian 
developer.

So make sure you have two or more files in the RMC6 list view.
If you do not then you'll have to use the show in folder steps above or NVDA 
object navigation insert+numpad1 then insert+numpad6.

NVDA calls this list view as (List) without the parentheses once you have 
landed on it via tabbing around.

When you have two or more files in the rMC6 list view you can use first letter 
navigation and your up or down arrow keys.

Have focus on a file that is in the list view.
Verify with insert+numpad5.
Doing a right click or shift+F10 or context menu on the file we currently have 
focus on and wanting to make changes to this file or other files is not 
possible unless you do the steps shown below or uses the valuable keyboard 
hotkeys like,
ctrl+m which will convert your non MP3 file to MP3.
Say in the very first capture you make the file in the list view is MP4 or FLv 
and you want it to be in MP3.
Place focus on this non MP3 file and press ctrl+m and you will get your file in 
MP3 format.
Also, you can use ctrl+c which will use your global conversion setting you have 
set.
This global setting is not limited to the MP3 format.

If you want all your captures to be globally converted to MP3 while capturing 
then read my text tutorial about the No Conversion Settings control button 
which shows you how to set it to MP3 and at a specific bit rate.

Now to using the context menu keyboard key while you have focus on a file in 
the RMC6 list view to view the context menu list of available options. Tip is 
to use the keyboard shortcuts shown below instead for fatger results.

NVDA does not show the context menu list correctly currently so do the step 
shown below,

The List View Information

This only applies when only one file is in the list view.
Tab until you hear NVDA says list.
You have focus on the list view (files list view).

NVDA will not tell you the name of this file but you will notice a properties, 
play and show in folder button.
This tells you there is a file in the RMC6 list view.
So locate the list view by using the tab key until you hear NVDA say list and 
stop tabbing.
Insert+tab will reveal the focused control.

To find the hidden file  do,
insert+numpad 7 then again
insert+numpad 7 for no review

Press insert+numpad1 for object navigation,
Press insert+numpad6
You will hear NVDA say graphics. This is most likely the icon image for the 
file in your list view.
Press insert+numpad6 again and you will hear the file name.

Press insert+numpad /
Press context menu key, or shift+F10.
NVDA will say Menu.
Press insert+numpad /
NVDA will say Menu
Press insert+numpad *
Press insert numpad4 or insert+numpad 6 to hear the context menu list of 
options,
They are,
Delete
Rename
Remove
Play
save to MP3
Convert
Restart
Import in WMP
Show In Folder

Since we are working on just one file and only one file is currently in the 
list view press the option you want like save to MP3 with insert+numpad / then 
numpad /.
I strongly recommend you add two or more files in the RMC6 list view so you 
will not have to deal with the above steps but instead do the steps shown below.

The above have keyboard shortcuts that you can use.

Just make sure you have two or more files in your list view to make it easier 
for you.
Read beginning of this article to find out how.
You can capture two sources is one way to do this.

List View Now has two or more files Information
The below only apply when the RmC6 list view has two or mor files
The list view function correctly.
Use up or down arrow keys to find your file.
Use first letter navigation.
Place focus on a file within the RMC6 list view,
Use the keyboard shortcuts that apply for list view content shown below.
Note the shortcuts are not all for the list view so only use those that apply.
Like ctrl+m
ctrl+c if you have set global conversion setting already.
delete key
F2

Keyboard shortcuts 
I have not tested all of these.
Alt + X = Start or Stop Auto mode Stream Downloading
Alt + R = Start or Stop audio recording
