Playing WMA from PC using WiFi

Does anybody know of a way to have media player play files on a remote PC as if they were installed locally?
I have my CD collection on my PC and I'd like to be able to play music from this using my XDAIIs using Wifi.
I've managed to see the files on the PC from the XDAIIs but clicking on them will not play them. However, if I create a shortcut to the file in question, and click on it, the track will play!
Unfortunately, if I create a second shortcut in the same folder to another file on the PC, media player doesn't play it automatically. I have to click on each shortcut that I wish to play.

You can use iTunes to do this, but you have to have WM2003, because I could no longer get it to work when I upgraded to WM5.0. It is called wifitunes, and it is still in alpha testing, but don't let that scare you, because it works well for me. Here is a link:

And of course you have to have iTunes installed on your pc (free from apple).
Let me know if this works for you!

I use resco file explorer and simply map the shared drive on my desktop to my SX66. I use TCPMP and can play avi, mpeg, mp3, wav etc on my SX66 over my wifi with no problems.

Thanks,
I tried WiFiTunes but I couldn't get it to work. Putting iTunes on the PC also required me to convert the track from WMA lossless to the Apple format which I wasn't keen to do but thanks for the suggestion.
I've downloaded a trial copy of resco file explorer, it looks like a good product to have irrespective of whether it helped with this particular issue. Used with TCPMP it does exactly what I want.
The only downside is that you have to create playlists because it doesn't organise the content into album, artist and genre lists in the same way that WMP10 does.
As I have nearly 3000 tracks it's going to take me some time to create the playlists but it's something to keep me out of mischief for a while!
Thanks for your help

Can the Artemis read/play 3GP extension files?

I had posted this in another thread but only one reply was wondering if it may be WM6 related. A friend with a nokia phone sent me a couple of MMS video files but when I open them up they are blank. But they have an extension of 3GP. Does anyone know if the Artemis will read these by default or TCPMP play them. I have loaded Meshles rom is there any problems with this rom playing these type of files? Do you need to convert these firstly. If so to what format? The last one that was sent did not work but I then received a txt msg from ‘O2’ which informed me that:
“You have been sent a media message from nnnn that your mobile doesn’t support. View it at www.O2.uk/M by typing in your mobile number and pin”
Ay advice appreciated...cheers JD76...

I'm using Meschle's 3.01 rom, windows media player plays 3gp, but jerky, TCMP plays it full speed.
Hope that helps

thanks Kaigame...any other help/advice...cheers jd

Yep, TCMP, or download the trial of CorePlayer form coreplayer.com.

Can't say anymore really more, as TT says.....
The Core Media Player plays them fine, i saw your post, downloaded a 3gp file and tried it, i don't really use my phone for video yet

So you don't want my Pingu avi's then?? ;-)
Coreplayer/TCMP is the only player I've found that reliably plays video, and it's also the only player that handles A2DP bluetooth streaming properly.

That should do it lol
You will need to use mobile YouTube page
It also has a built in youtube viewer press view a couple of times
I left out the audio associations for Pocket Player to handle the best Audio Player avaiable.

I prefer using Kinoma Free Flay, you can get it from my link to smartphone programs below...

kinoma full version

Album doesn't play mp4 files - Help requested

yesterday i try to get rid of some old apps instaled on my HD and i messed with the registry
i also instaled new apps
last night i tryed to watch a movie (mp4 format) that i now for sure it worked when i loaded on my sd card
now the HTC Album doesn't play it any more and i tryed with other movies and it's the same. i get the following message:
"No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
what the heck is that?
is it possible to accidentaly erased some essential things or the new apps to overwrite something?
the pictures are played well, so i am confused
could anyone help?
thanks a lot!
best regards!

nobody?
at least does anyone have, or can make, a cab with windows media player?
it seems that there is the problem
thank you!

which rom you use?
try Windows Media Player if you have a cooked rom! or go to HTC Album press Option search your Movie

nope
i use stock rom 1.14.479.3(25874)WWE
album can "see" the movies within movies folder but it doesn't play them. i just get the mentioned message
same with windows media player but no message. just not play the files.

And just from my point of view, if ANYONE suggest Coreplayer, please do me a personal favour and ignore them. Whilst Coreplayer will play the majority of video files...due to a lack of hardware acceleration support it plays them incredibly poorly in my rather expansive experience of Windows Mobile devices.

yeah, coreplayer does play the files, but i spent a lot of time converting them in order to play with album / wmplayer because of the hardware accelearation and now i can do that anymore
it kinda drive me crazy because i don't want to do a hard reset. AGAIN

how MP4 file association to WMP?
I tried with Total Commander, but i set param %1, i have error
if no param, just start the WMP.
Open from Library play video correctly

nope
tryed to do what you said with total commander - same result
must be something related to that message
but what filters are those? and what to do with them?

cmmon guys, don't let me hard reset again
have a heart!

so it seems that i am talking to myself here
back to old hard reset fashion way
omg how i hate that

it is me talking alone again
i fond out that this error message also appears on PC's and it is related to DirectX 9, and more exactly DirectShow
do I have DirectShow on my HD and I ersed something?
any way to restore / reinstall that?

and the last one
it seems that also youtube player doesn't work anymore
it gives everytime the message "cannot play this video"
so, to resume:
- Windows Media Player, HTC Album, DivX Player does not play mp4 files (i dont't know about Kinoma because i have the free version)
- Core Player plays mp4 files but bad
HTC Album returns error message "No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
- Youtube Player does not plays files from youtube
- Core Player and Kinoma plays files fom youtube
Youtube Player returns error message "Cannot play this movie"
any ideeas what to do, except the hard reset?
thank you for any ideea!

I'm struggling for a while now with oppenning a file using media player.
I'm developing an app that will stream ESC (eurovison song contest) radio.
problem is, thier link to asx file opens fine both in desktop MP, and in tcpmp, but not in media player mobile.
you can go to esc radio dot com to get it.
(can't post links here)...
I've tried the trick of adding "/*" to the url, with no succsses...
other asx files tend to work...
I want to use WMPLib class in c# to open an instance of wmp programatically and play the stream from inside the app.
anyone can help???
thanks!

if it works on desktop wmp, there should be no problem. My asx files play fine, check ur link

http://www.escradio.com/listen.asx
try downloding that file.
works for me in WMP but not in MP mobile
opnened it in notped, tried editing it but nothing...
