Video Indexer Displays blank dashboard

I want to highlight an issue that I am encountering with video indexer. On my machine, whenever I try to login to video indexer ( either microsoft or gmail account), it shows me blank dashboard like the one below:
I have tried running it on other browsers and incognito as well (clearing browser cookies too). But nothing works on my machine. However, the same works fine when I log in through my other machine. Any help will be appreciated.
Make sure you try incognito mode without any browser plugins/extensions.
Can you open the browser console and see if you are getting any errors or network issues?
Looks like the GRAPH API is hitting a 401.
This is used to return the currently logged in user.
Since you are saying it is working in another machine fine.
The possibility I can think of is because of Conditional Access Policy(Location based mostly).
There could be some policies(for Security) that can be set at the tenant level which is making the Graph API to error out with 401.
The one machine is within the compliance (trusted network/vpn/domain joined etc.) where as the other one is not compliant. Hence the error.

SharePoint Embed web part re-writing my URL

SharePoint Online: Until yesterday, I was able to use the standard Embed web part to display an iFrame to my SSRS Report server that included the control settings in the URL to hide toolbar, etc.
Like this:
<iframe src="https://reports.mydomain.com/ReportServer?/Reports/WallChart_GP&rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false&rs:ClearSession=true" height="400" width="300"></iframe>
Today, that is suddenly resulting in "Reporting Server Error: The operation you are attempting on item '/' is not allowed for this item type. (rsWrongItemType)". However if I put the URL directly into a browser I get the correct result... report with no toolbar.
When I switch the SharePoint page to edit mode and look at the Embed web part, I see that it's changing my & to & plus "amp;" for HTML formatting. If I paste that modified string into a separate browser I do still reach the report but the server ignores at least some of my commands in that I then see the report server toolbar despite setting it to false. So I don't know if it's always changed my URL like that, or if that is indeed the source of my problem. But I had not even re-published my pages in SharePoint.
If I put an embed string in the SharePoint web part that does not attempt these report server commands, I do get the report as desired. For example this displays my report in the SharePoint web part (but with the toolbar that I'm trying to avoid showing):
<iframe src="https://reports.mydomain.com/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fWallChart_GP" height="400" width="300"></iframe>
The thing that has me bring this here is the fact that it was working up until yesterday. Nothing was changed on either end. I suppose Microsoft Support may be the correct avenue but I'm concerned that I will just be told that I can't do it without regard to the fact that it worked all along.
Any insight into why this is now different or what I can do to resolve the problem?

What does "Set Glimpse Session Name" do?

For such a big honkin' button on the main Glimpse control panel, it's surprising that "Set Glimpse Session Name" brings up only 7 results on Google (13 if you drop "Set").
Whatever it is, it sounds important. So what is a session name in Glimpse, and what does setting one do?
The Session name can help you to make a distinction between different clients. By default the browser name is used, but if you want to make distinction between different sessions in the same browser, then setting the session name will help you with that.
The printscreen I included will show you the different clients that were connected through the History tab, all requests are grouped per client. The IE 10.0 or Chrome 28.0 are defaults determined from the browser being used. The cgijbels is the one I set myself while using the same browser that initially indicated Chrome 28.0
I hope that answers your question

Record Browser Actions

I am looking for some browser recording software which can record browser actions for one of the business application and give the html elements :- name/id/xpath of the element along with the action performed (ex click, send keys, javascript etc)
My "application under test" is specific to IE and it doesn't run in any other browser.
Try using Selenium. It allows you to record browser actions and save them for later use (like automated browser testing).
You may want to try using SeleniumRC if you want to do this for Internet Explorer. You'll still have to set up some steps through firefox, but you should be able to run your tests on IE.
Try out contizee (www.contizee.com) which is a browser based plug in, easy record and playback and allows me to edit action paths e.g.
$("input#fk-top-search-box").val("HP COMPAQ");
form#fk-header-search-form>div.search-bar-wrap>div.search-bar>div.unit.search-bar-submit-wrap.size1of6>input.search-bar-submit.fk-font-13.fk-font-bold
We can customize according to our needs

Web Search on Web browsers

I have done a search on different browsers on google ,but they return different set of results?? Is this because of the web history or some other reason??
All Google searches depends of several parameters, to offer to the user the best answers possibles.
Various parameters can influence the returned query :
- if you're logged in or not (see the top bar)
- if your browser can store your search preferences (chrome is very well aware of your interrested are !) but IE if very poor to send data to Google search engine
These 2 parameters are the main that can influence differencies between the results. I've never heard of sending the history of the visited pages directly
