For some reason wmp cant play mms:// streams on my trin.
This is the error i get,
cannont find the file. The file might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. If the file is stored on a server or a removable storage card, the server or storage card might not be available.
It doesnt even try to connect , it just pops up this error right away after pressing ok.
Im using the dopod wm6 rom on my p3600.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed?
Hmm ok mms:// urls do work.
However only when i use an normal url.
If i use an ip address it fails right away and gives that error for some reason.

I bet your MMS settings are off. Have you followed the instructions provided by your provider?
mms:// has nothing to do with multimedia messaging.
Its just a live stream , called Microsoft Media Server protocol.
The problem is that i try to connect to my webcam at home , the url i should connect to is my ip like this: mms://my.ip.number.here:8080
But that doesnt work. (also doesnt work if i dont add the port number.)
It does work if i use this kind of url:
mms://this.plays.fine/bla
So i probably need another program to create the mms stream.

Like the url isnt right.
Looks like it just doesnt take urls with no /bla at the end.

Just curious, I never use mms. Could you post an url that I can test on my P3600?
I'm wondering about this too. I used to watch newsfeeds using what I believe was mms:// streams, though I gotta be honest I am not 100 percent sure of the format, but they all used to play fine in WMP. I would just click the link from a bookmark in Pocket Internet Explorer then it would connect and play in WMP.
Hadn't looked at any for a bit, probably not since I upgraded to WM6.
Just recently I discovered I can no longer play them (as in not on my Trinity, I can play them on my laptop). Here a couple of sample links to try:
http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.1.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=
mms://msnbc.wmod.llnwd.net/a275/e1/video/100/vh.asf
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/wm/video/heads_bb.asx
Actually, I realize I can;t even get the Windows Media Mobile home page clips to play either.
http://www.windowsmedia.com/mobile/
So I guess I am not just having mms:/ stream probs.
According to the Wikipedia entry (and just cos someone entered into Wikipedia I realize that does not automatically make it true, but that's the link for what it is worth...) it is an outgoing Microsoft format no longer supported in WMP Mobile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Media_Services
The Windows Mobile entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_mobile
...suggests that the only format support in WMP now are .WMA, .WMV, .MP3, and .AVI files.
I am gonna dig around on the Microsoft site to see if I can come up with anything there. Also, I wonder if there is a thrid party player than can handle these? I have tread both Coreplayer and TCPMP and they both return an error sayig they can't handle the codec... which is similar to what WMP says too.
Maybe on of the many gurus on this board could please shed some more light on this one? TIA

did u check coreplayer which plays all of those format? you can find in by using google and do coreplayer v1.1.1 build 1600 you should be able to find it on share download with the code.. I believe this is the last free version they had..not sure though.. I know someone put it on some rom and then got taken off...
Good luck.
Thanks for the helpful feedback. First off, I've got a really basic question for anyone reading. Please would you simply open WMP on your Trinity and click on the little globe that takes you to the Windows Media Mobile website, then see if you can play any clips... I can't. If it is just me then I know I have something screwy going on. Otherwise something more substantial may have changed.
Also, if this Microsoft MMS format is getting a bit out of date maybe people would be kind enough to suggest some other news feeds and stuff which use the players built into our Trinity's as they are now?
Yep, I have Coreplayer, though mine is 1.0.4 not the latest which does seem to be the 1.1 release. It wasn't and isn't free - might be why it got pulled off the ROM mentioned and the site is a bit unconventional as it is mainly geared to selling to OEM manufacturers not retail, so I can't figure out if I can upgrade without paying again. I can say that vers 1.0.4 does not appear to be able to stream any form of Media, though it can play many kinds locally. The description of the slightly newer version suggests it has some streaming but not for any Microsoft formats. Here is the link to the Coreplayer site.
I am sure people already know but just in case Coreplayer is the commercial descendant of free TCPMP which can be downloaded here. The last version was 0.72 and that can't stream the Microsoft MMS type file either.
Both these players are handy and have slightly different features. My version of Coreplayer can play back Apple QuickTimes. While TCPMP can play Flash FLV files using this extra plug-in
I also tried downloading the old WMP 7.1 for Pocket PC from Microsoft here.
I managed to install it but not suprisingly it won't launch. Think I'd better remove it before it really messes up my Trinity!
Oh, I dug around on Microsoft's support site and while it does not explicitly confirm the Wikipedia info, it appears to suggest it by ommision. I can only find references to the MMS format in relation to old products.
Sorry for the long post. Please do let me know if you can access and play clips from Windows Media Mobile. Many thanks.
Maybe its the Rom!
im using mUn 2.00.S.E WM6 and i can play MMS/streams no problem in WMP
Uh oh! Well...OK then! I can stop goofing around with Media players! It is obviously either my ROM version (or just maybe a conflict between the multiple Media players I have installed). I am on the current AX3L ROM. Sounds like I should consider the mUn 2.00.S.E WM6 ROM then!
I guess I could also try the Official Dopod WM6 or hang to see if an HTC 6 ROM does really comes out soon.
Thanks a lot for that. You have saved me any more wasting time on this and I do appreciate it.
EDIT: Please note that I have since identified and solved the problem, details in the post below. It was ABSOLUTELY NOT related to AX3L's ROM. It was an issue which could occur under any ROM. It turned out to be about which programs have been associated with which file types and how Windows Media Player handles things.
SOLVED! - can't play mms:// streams with wm6 in wmp
I have solved my issue with streaming Microsoft MMS:// format files. Happily, it was not a problem with my ROM version.
My first clue came from this post which I found elsewhere.
This suggested that no matter what changes are made to the registry, Windows Media player will still attempt to handle certain types of streaming files - particularly Microsoft MMS:// streams and .asx and .asf media streams.
(Incidentally, to my knowledge, the 3GP streams used by sites like You Tube Mobile do not cause any conflict and do not overlap with this specific Windows Media Player issue).
I discovered that my installation of Coreplayer and TCPMP and very likely my attempts to set them to handle certain files types (like MMS:// streams) had resulted in Windows Media Player mishandling certain file types. In particularly, instead of just directly streaming the MMS:// files it was first downloading a file ending with the extension .WMWebASX or .WBWebASF and then attempting to open that file. This resulted in an apparent codec error.
How I finally fixed it.
First, for all files that can be handled by Windows Media Player, I turned off any conflicting file associations in Coreplayer and TCPMP. Then using the registry editor Total Commander, I went through the HKCU area of the registry and deleted ALL entries named TCPMP.bak... there were LOTS. Fortunately, Total Commander has a find command!
Then I also went through all the entries in the HKCU section of the registry for streaming files that can be handled by Windows Media Player including WMWebASX, WBWebASF, asf, asx (and a quite few others) and made sure they all pointed to \Windows|wmplayer.exe. (Many had gotten set to point to TCPMP's player.exe on my device and this had to be changed).
Finally, in Wiindows Media Player's Network options I set it to use Port 500 for UDP (the best choice of available port may depend on your wireless carrier - try port 80 if all else fails). Without changing this, I got sound but no picture.
BTW in regard to the OP, I belive that DNS and/or firewall issues, probably at the wireless carrier's end can also be a problem for some people. For instance, if your browser requests a file on one port then the file is delivered on a different port the carrier firewall may shut it out as if it were an unsolicited packet. It may also be also worth trying different DNS servers e,g, the OpenDNS servers, or if you use them already and have probs, try going back to your carrier's DNS servers. Definitely it will also be likely be necessary to bypass any proxy server such as ATT's MEdia Net for example.
Hope this info is useful to others.

Absolutely - unless you manage to mess things up like I did! ! I use AX3L's ROM myself. Just love the BIG storage! I admit that I did wonder if it was a ROM issue for a bit, but as I explained it turned out NOT to be ROM related AT ALL. This problem could occur on any ROM. It is about which programs have been associated with which file types.,
It was almost certainly caused by the way I had set the preferences in TCPMP (which I use to play back Flash FLV files). I do have Coreplayer installed too, but the misconfgured registry settings all came from TCPMP.
Sorry for the overlength post above, its probalby so long it might be confusing! I just thought that as quite a few people do use additional Media players it may come up that someone may have a similar prob, so I wanted the solution to be available if they searched the board. I hope my experience might save them time in figuring it out.
Sorry if I left any impression this iis in any way a problem with AX3L's great work. That is absolutely NOT the case in any way. Hope that sets the record straight

Do you know how to play an .mp3 stream in WMP?
Codecs
In some roms when there´s lack of some codecs if you put these ones in the windows folder it starts working,I have some more but I believe this is enough,plus maybe some of your roms come already with those codecs.
Let me know if it worked for you guys.

Friend, you just need to put the symbles /* at the last part of your address. You will aquire your webcam vedio. Although I know the trick, I can't help myself. Since I flashed Karmba's rom, I can never success to connect to my webcam. I just can watch my webcam vedio through wifi or when it's syn to my PC.
What folder should I copy the files to after I unzip? I am having the same problem as the OP.
Thanks.

1.Photo Contacts, this is a must-have-program.
2.Mortplayer, a good media player, you can listen to shoutcast radio with it, it's free.

XCPUscalar
try the XCPUScalar
This program allows you to set the CPU speed for both underclocking and over clocking
Overclock to 472 MHZ. useful when running the bigger programs.
Underclocking, however is the realy nifty thing:
One problem with ALL XDA users is power consumption, when you bluetooth, wifi, GSM and listen to MP3s, you start feeling the drain pretty quick.
One way to conserve power is to use a lower CPU speed when smsing, or yakking on the phone.
Download trial from PocketGear. The latest version is compatible with Xscale 270's and 250's
It even includes a power down and soft reset button, battery, storage meters. all in a very small package.
I Have:

PHM PocketPC PowerToys (some of its naff, but you can chop it out manually) The notepad utility, and 'screen saver' thingy, and run... doofer are the most usefull also includes traylaunch (to shove things on your today tray, and a load of other faff.
vxIPConfig - shows IP, gateway, blah blah
Orneta FTP
Skype PPC A killer application, but currently rather unreliable. The terrible wifi reception on the XDA IIs and friends also means that you cant stray too far from your AP. If you do, it drops the call, and the IP stack crashes!! (soft restart required).
Still more convienient than being tied to a pc tho.

To add to this, try betaplayer --> its excellent! I have now uninstalled MVPlayer, PocketDivx and pocketTV, beta player does the lot.
Get the 'unstable' release though, the stable version is old and is missing codec support. I have found the 'unstable' version to be rock solid.

Is there any way I can get WMP 10 onto my SX66 without changing the firmware? I'd like to continue to use the official Windows Mobile 2003SE firmware for the SX66.
I checked the website for the SX66, and they don't have a WMP upgrade.....and it's not available for download from Microsoft.
You can try and request the program files for windows media player 10 from one of the members of this site, I don't have time right now but if you PM me later I'll try and help you out.
Does anyone have the program files? If yes, could you please upload them?

A better looking interface, better support for syncing with WMP on PC, media library, album art support, support for DRM-protected media, etc.
So....could someone please upload the setup files for WMP10 if possible?
Oops made a mistake, sorry thought you could get it from the Microsoft website. Can't remember where I got it from now, it was ages ago, but it does work fine. Certain it was just a free download though.
Ever since Windows Mobile 2003, Microsoft only releases WMP for WM devices as a part of ROM updates. Siemens did not directly release the later HTC ROMs that included WMP10... so you'll have to flash your SX66 with another ROM (like, i-Mate's) that comes with WMP10.
That sucks, I was hoping that I would be able to just update the program.
Where can I download the i-Mate firmware (I already checked the website for it, and couldn't find it), or another WM2003 firmware for the BA that has WMP10?

Using Total Commander. copy this file from the \windows directory to a storage card. from the storage card, uncheck the read-only attribute. and then copy it back to the windows folder. then you should be able to use v1.2 of weather database editor to add your town. *dont* use the link someone else provided above. that contained a guide that was intended for the Touch Diamond. which uses a older version of touchflo3d / manila. it will not work on rhodium. this method worked sucessfully on my Xperia. which is using a custom ROM with Rhodium Manilla.

thanks which version of TC do we need
also found this using slq
will this way work ,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3855860
im using ver 2.51 of TC for pocketpc here.
as for the SQL Administrator method. i tried it going back some time ago and it did work, but it was on a earlier cooked ROM and i don't recall what version of manilla it had. it might have been the one from Topaz (Touch Diamond 2) but anyways, imo the directions i listed is easier than using SQL Admin and can vouch it works for the Rhodium manilla.

(NOTE: In addition, I have been searching for TCPMP 0.81, but all versions I have found so far have been either incomplete, or unstable, once a fully working version has been located, I will make it available here.)
(January 2K10 Update: WM6.1 Optimized Edition can be found in Post #19 Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5367666&postcount=19)
the 0.81 is a FAKED version by a Chinese froum. it was a joke for April Fool's Day.
the newest is 0.72 rc1.
AND please upload the cab here.
i can't download it in China.

i've been using 0.81 for years, fake or not it has best performance and behaviour on xscale device.
there's nothing wrong with it.
Can I use the codecs and DLLs with Core Player?
I've got a message, that codec vp6f is missing.
How can I fix it?
Thanks.
Sapiora, to answer your question, I am not sure...
Korro, I have never heard of the vp6f codec, if someone is willing to send me a copy, I will test it, and include it in the next installer release.
seems this is FLV4 codec but don't know where to get it..
the FLV4 codec doesn't work
Can i open streming with this?
Hi. If i install this, can i play with it stems from internet .mms and .asx ?
Thanks ,
Theoretically, but I usually just use WMP for any (read virtually none) streaming I do...

Thank you for sharing... it works..
i used the PC Based EXE Installer, and i had to manually make a shortcut to the Start Menu.. i'm not complaining.. hehe ...
will this player support Hardware Acceleration? i still can't play mp4(h.264) files flawlessly..

Pretty sure it will... It plays mp4's ok on my device anyhow... and I am using full acceleration with a 16Mb pagepool and the 128Mb RAM ugrade.
Well unfortunately this does not appear to be working on WM6.5 or at least not the one in my signature. Everything installs except for the player. I tried to run the player manually but that didn’t work either. Oh well.
Good to See You Again Unit Zero
Good to see you're still around. I no longer go to aximsite (I've got an HP), so I've not heard from you.
I was just thinking about you the other day when i saw aximsite got 'folded' and even uploaded your latest (then) Codec Pack 3. Luckily i didn't get around to re-installing it so I only have to re-install what I've got on there now.
BTW: any idea if coreplayercauses any 'issues' if it is installed on a device with TCPMP?
I've been following (or did) this thread over at PPCGeeks regarding the Monster TCPMP (monster is my word) package (TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4.1.CAB), and I was just curious if you had seen this and had any thoughts on the interoperability/synergy of your package.
I was able to see the thread last month, but i think they put it behind a VIP section.
Anyway, thanks ever so much for putting this together. It is invaluable.
Your work is very much appreciated;
Thanks again;
A (very grateful) Bug

Thanks bug, and it does seem that the monster TCPMP is now a VIP thread... On another note... I think I've solved the non appearing shortcut issue... I am using the LennySH WM6.1 A07 Beta 3 ROM, and I have tried deleting all shortcuts, and registry entries after uninstallation, and cold installing with both the .CAB and .EXE installers, and I have gotten a program shotcut in the start menu each time. It may be an issue with whichever ROM you are running... So all I can say is, please bear with it, and if you do not end up with a shortcut after installation, feel free to create one, the program should still work just fine.
I am currently experimenting with a series of plugins with which I can see .on2 (when they are given a ".flv" file extension) files, and hear their audio... but the frame rate is CH..OP..PY, I am getting framerates of 1 frame every 5 seconds at best. If anyone out there has a better, smoother codec, or the beginnings of one... please don't leave us hanging!
Re: Codecs
Would it be possible to uplload the .cab and .exe files here in this forum? I cannot d/l from that other site. Thanks!
Wow! just noticed I need to update my signature. I'm using HTC XV6800 w/ No2Chems 3.49 ROM
Windows Mobile 6.1 Optimized Install
I have compiled an updated, and streamlined release of my Master Codec Pack, it does include both a functional version of TCPMP, and all the plugins you would need to operate it on a newer model device. I have also fixed that nagging shortctus issue, once installed, a shortcut will appear in the programs submenu.
CAB Installer: TCPMP & Master Codec Pack 4 (WM6.1 Optimized Edition).CAB
PC Based EXE Installer: TCPMP & Master Codec Pack 4 (WM6.1 Optimized Edition).exe
Optimized Codec Archive (V.3): TCPMP Master Codec Library V.3 (WM6.1).zip
(NOTE: Please uninstalll ALL previous versions of the Codec Pack and of TCPMP, in order to install this cleanly)
Current file version is 4.0.3
Enjoy!
thanks for sharing...ill try this out later..
since getting my TP2 I haven't really changed any settings - mainly because I'm totally clueless about installing new applications and stuff.
I was just wondering what suggestions people would have for a new TP2 user who wishes to get the most out of his new toy?!
I would like to watch films on it, play games on it and listen to music on it. I have heard that coreplayer is good for watching movies but dunno how to go about installing it?! (thats how useless I am!).
Is there a central resource that i should be going to to find applications that are compatible with the TP2, and does anyone have any suggestions for decent applications that I should install, that are recommended and people feel improve the phone?
Also, from what I can tell, I cant just download and install a theme and pick it from a list on the phone? is this correct?
I'd eventually like to get a decent navigation program and some games installed.
I know this sounds like a pretty random post, but i've been reading some posts on here and am confused by how things are installed, and what a CAB is?!
(I also notice that I cannot get this site to load properly on my phone - it just displays a load of random characters? I am using opera, would IE solve this?)
I have an ipod touch and installing stuff on it via itunes is obviously a breeze, so is it as easy on this phone?
thanks for your time
Q99
It's all on the wiki or other posts around here ...
CAB: Install from the phone. Either mail it to yourself and download it from your mobile mail, use your USB-cable or bluetooth it or whatever.
EXE: Install it from the PC with the phone attached in ActiveSync mode.
For all the programs. Sorry, just read. I don't think anyone is going to make a list for you, Then again, everyone has different opinions ...
I can read the xda-site perfectly on my TP2. Same on my TP btw.
CAB is just an extension. Like a word document is: paper.doc
A program for you mobile can be: game.cab
A cab file is always an installation file. running this file, installs something on your pocket pc. So you have to run the file on your pocketpc.
As explained above, .exe extensions are programs ran in windows.
If you have a USB cradle the easiest way is to connect it with your pc and make a connection between those 2. Opening devicecentre (or something similar in some other language) en the connecting your TP2 to you pc will result in a popup asking if you want to set the synchornisation settings. Doing so is creating a link between your phone and your pc that will be remembered. So next time you connect, your pc recognises you mobile phone. When you have done this you have several options in the device center.
To move CAB files to your pocket pc you click on the explorer icon (bar) and it opens up your TP2's storage. After copying the file you execute it from your phone.
For installing .exe files, you also start windows mobile devicecentre and make sure they are connected. Then you run the installer from your pc. at some point the installation on the pc says it's done. Look at your phone and it asks permission to install this particular piece of software.

Google coreplayer, download the cab file, copy it to your phone using activesync, run the cab file from your phone using windows explorer, installing it to your storage card

No there isn't a App store like the Ipod , which means we don't have to suffer itunes \o/
Look around on here in the Rhodium Themes & apps section, also look in the Blackstone, Topaz and Sony Ericsson X1 sections. Most programs that run on those devices will work on the TP2

It depends which version of the phone you have. The branded versions may take a bit of work but the unbranded ones should be able to use any themes designed for this device/screen resolution

A CAB file is an executable file that installs a program/theme/registry hack onto your phone. It has to be run on your phone

Are the characters random when you zoom in?
A windows phone is not as easy as an iphone to install stuff, but it is not too difficult, if I can figure it out anyone can! But your TP2 will do more than an iphone and is a better device so its worth persevering with
