You are? I get an error message after install reminding that the Realplayer version installed may not work with current version of 2003?
Which version Realplayer you using 1.0 / 1.1 ? And also what network settings do you have 802.11B?
If I enter the URL of the Live broadcast (.ram) into Realplayer Open Location - error 'Incorrect or malformed protocol' pops up.
Please do tell how you have it working
thanks
hi all
ok i think ive sussed it.
make sure you have the latest version of realplayer.
goto the bbc.co.uk site as normal click on 'radio 1' (or whatever)
then click on 'listen' when the page loads you cant hear anything right?
go down the page a little and click on 'listen using stand alone realplayer'
you will be asked to download **.ram to my documents click ok and it will connect you and start realplayer.
some bbc stations use windows media player as well just click on 'listen using stand alone media player'
hope this helps

yes, that's it
Hi
Thanks it works a treet, i save the *.ram to my storage card, and put a short cut on my start menu now all i do is tap the link on the start menu to listen to the radio......
hey, thanks guys, got it.
I thought I may make a contribution if you are interested. I have a nice collection of free themes which look great on the MDA3.

Hmm
OK, got the player, could not see it before! Have downloaded r1live.ram from the beeb, tapping that starts real1player, which seems to connect to the site (displays connecting) then it says 'loading' for ages, before timing out with an error: 'Response or data from server timed out'.
I am using it on WiFi, no ports are blocked, and it works fine from a PC (also connected via wifi).
Any idea's?
Nigel
your player seems setup ok. i would suggest it is your connection. can you load the beeb site ok in a browser? are you far from your wifi transmitter?
Works on a laptop from the same location, so I dont think its the network. I have tried it while next to the AP
Nigel
i would start a new thread with the problem
Hi all, I'm a noob here, so please forgive me if I posted in the wrong forums.
I just updated my three-month-old 838Pro to Windows Mobile 6 this morning using the official HTC Dopod SEA update image, and was already met with a flurry of problems.
Problem #1: TCPMP can't seem to find the necessary dlls to support Windows Media movies anymore. Any attempt to open them in TCPMP is met with a Audio/video codec not supported by the player error. They open fine in Windows Media Player, however. I was also having problems with the FLV extensions earlier, but the problem has since mysteriously went away after I warm reset it. The codec issue still persists.
Problem #2: The Streaming Player doesn't seem to want to work anymore. I can't tune into my telco's streaming TV channels (which I pay some $1.50 a month for access to). Accessing the stream results in a "Media file type not supported" error. The streaming did work in Windows Media 5.
Problem #3: Installing RealPlayer 1.1 preview totally causes clicking on a RTSP link in Windows Media to do nothing. If I recall I never had this happen to me when I installed RealPlayer 1.1 on Windows Mobile 5 (I tried putting Real on thinking it will fix problem #2. Fat chance). I manage to circumvent the issue by installing the Streaming Player 2.10 cab I managed to dig out of somewhere online (now the theme fits, but still no dice in getting Streaming Video to cooperate).
Apart from that I noticed that the ATI ImageON driver issue with TCPMP has still went on unfixed.
Can anyone recommend me any solutions to the problem? Did something not get installed? Is it safe to roll back to Windows Mobile 5?
Again, I'm sorry if this is not the place to ask for help, but I'm seriously lost.
Thanks.
Well, what i did was just to install CorePlayer which is currently version 1.1.1 build 1600. Basically it plays all the files u need. u can go to www.coreplayer.com to find out more. Hope that helps.
Well, I just checked - Apparently CorePlayer has the exact same problem with Windows Mobile 6 on the device. Fixed it by googling around and finding this article about shoehorning some WMP9 libraries into the system. RealPlayer has been removed via a hard reset.
However, I failed to flash WM5 back in.
I also tried reflashing the device to see if it's caused by a dud flash - nope.
So, just have to figure out why it's not wanting to connect to the streaming TV channel, keep getting a "File media type not recognized" error. The stream works fine in WM5.
So, any other Malaysians here who's signed up with DiGi Mobile TV and has a Dopod 838Pro flashed with WM6 and experiencing the same thing?
Runnin new windows media built in wm6 and whenever i play a .mp3 or .avi or really any file in media play i get an error claiming 'Not enough storage is availble to complete this operation'
So i check on storage and all is well more than enough i believe. i even use Oxis closeapps and hibernate to clear it up more and close all programs but still same error.
The files work fine in Audio Manager
any guesses or fixes?
Thanks
Since today I have been getting an error message when I try to play any video on the windows media player. It says "no conbination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection".
What does this mean and what am I supposed to do. I have WM6 and it was working perfectly till yesterday ?
Any suggestions ?
After a lot of stress, I finally managed to remote into my windows 7 home premium machine from my TP2.
But the sound doesn't work!
I've selected the "Play on this device" option on the Microsoft Remote Desktop Mobile, but whenever I try to play music, I get an error stating that there is no audio device.
I can play music on the laptop I'm remoting into, but not on my phone.
Anybody have any suggestions, please?
