Introduction
Ever since i started using windows mobile phones i have always used SPB Mobile DVD to encode the videos and then used CorePlayer to view them. But after receiving my new Blackstone I, like many, have found that this is no longer possible due to CorePlayer's lack of hardware acceleration and SPB Mobile DVD's lack of WVGA support.
Well now there's a solution! projection has made a video encoder please view the link below for details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
In order to play files that are encoded with projection's encoder, you would normally have to use WMP or HTC Album (both of which have hardware acceleration). I personally thought that i could make it easier for people to open up their favourite videos. Im not sure if i've succeeded but i like it so there!
In comes my program.....
Simply put, it can be descibed as a file explorer for the HTC Album. With it you can easily find the video you are looking for and then open it up in the HTC Album's player.

Usage.....
To scroll the list press on the up and down arrow at the top and bottom of the list
(Arrows can be pressed and held for continuous scrolling)
Select an item by tapping on it
Press Open. If its a folder then it will display the folder's contents, otherwise the file will be opened in HTC Album
Please use the 'Back' hardware button to exit HTC Album (This is the fastest way, and upon exiting Video Launcher, HTC Album will be closed)
Use the 'Thumbnails' button to view thumbnails of the current folder in HTC Album viewer
Use the 'Resume' button to open up the HTC Album in the last state that you left it.
A few notes.....
1) Can only play MP4 file types, this is because the HTC Album only supports MP4!
2) Originally had the idea of letting users choose their player, so WMP, pvPlayer, or HTC Album users were all happy. But then i added the thumbnails button and also i liked the zoom feature of the HTC Album player. So WMP, pvPlayer...... you're out of luck!
3) Only reads mp4 files at the moment because i encode all my videos in mp4 so i have no use for the other video types. May change this if i have enough requests.
Help.....
The current program icon is ugly as sin! But im not that great at artsy type things so if anyone could help me create an icon that would be much appreciated.
I've been on these forums a long time and have gained a lot of great programs and tips etc, i just thought that it's time to give back. I hope you enjoy the program, its free for you to use forever....
Any suggestions and comments would be helpful, and thanks for reading.... enjoy!
Ps. Buy me a beer if you like it Donate!
PPs. Thanks to Slothie for the code enabling me to find the storage card on non-english devices.
Download.....
ChangeLog....

Looks nice, I will give it a try.
Let me know what you think
Great Addition to my Touch HD
Great cab but would LOOOOVE if you made this support more formats such as (.avi), (.mkv anime format), (.wmv). I use CorePlayer but it can never play Naruto or Bleach smoothly audio is great but video is sooo choppy. Would love this app more so i don't have to convert to .mp4. If its not possible what converter do u use for vids

Unfortunately the HTC Album ONLY supports mp4 files so the only choice is to convert all of your video files to mp4.
It's not all bad, just add all of your selected videos into prejections encoder before you go to sleep and by the time you wake up it would have finished!
You have hardcoded everything, so it doesn't work on localized ROMs:
Code:
VideoLauncher.exe
DirectoryNotFoundException
in System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String fullPath, Boolean file)
in System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFiles(String path, String searchPattern)
in System.IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles(String searchPattern)
in SmartDeviceProject1.Form1.Form1_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
in System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
in System.Windows.Forms.Form._SetVisibleNotify(Boolean fVis)
in System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible(Boolean value)
in System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
in SmartDeviceProject1.Form1.Main()
I believe that i hard coded it so that it would load the root directory of the Storage Card.
Initial directory = "\Storage Card\"
Do you have a storage card inserted?
It could be that some ROM versions with differing languages have alternate strings for "\Storage Card\"...
Ahh i see, thanks for pointing that out.
I would need bbonzz to confirm this and then maybe i can look at getting the correct persistent storage folder path another way.
Hi everyone,
VGA version now available.

Yes, my storage card is called "\Scheda di memoria\" (italian ROM)
Thanks MrHTC (VGA)
Requesting QVGA Plz
Thanks
More Formats
Thanjks for the VGA version. Do you think you will be adding more video formats soon? Maybe, WMV, MPEG, or AVI? Just wondering. Thanks for the player!
Don't know if this is off topic but is it possible for your program to use HTC Album to open a url containing a mp4 file?
Im not sure if the HTC album can open urls, but i doubt it. And in that case my program couldn't either since it uses the HTC Album.
Same as before on localized ROMs: you still have hardcoded paths... (i.e.: doesn't work on my device)
This looks really nice... Looking forward to a QVGA version.

old one here:
Last week I had to fight hours to find the best way to use Emu48 on my Touch HD and I came at the same skin files.
I also managed to run a HP50G rom with a VGA skin, but I couldn't find a 800x480 skin as for HP48GX. Anyway it seems that with few work it will be possible to use the skin I found here:

finnaly I corrected the links failures and attachments bugs... what a pain to post here ... I dont know why but everytime I edit the message or attachements I get a freezing browser and all uploads are lost... this time I think its good!
please do not hesitate to improve the skin from the svg file, its very easy with inkscape!
Does it work?
Hi
Can someone post the exact sw versions to be used?
I have tried several version of the emulator with rom.48g and the blue kml above, but get different error messages every time.
br Lars
it works perfectly even with wm6.5.5
i attach the files i am using dont remember where to find it exactly on the websites above (so many files to explore).
I have just discovered that the main missing file may be the KEYBOARD.KMI (in the zip file attached). Can you confirm that?
Thanks now it works. I did also try several KMI files, but nothing matched

Hi t0k0m0k0,
very good job.....
If you have the grafics, or is this for *.exe file, or do you have a cab file for that?
That is one more peace for the GTX dream and for me as a hardliner of GTX.
WVGA Emu48 gtx inspired
Ok so here is the files to install it
if you want to make a cab or edit the skin let me know
i've edited the previous post with install instructions
Very good job and color combinations for the GTX like skin.
Exit app by OFF button
Hi t0k0m0k0
Really great emu48 skin , very well done.
Is there any way to close/exit the emu48 application by pressing the "OFF" button , (i.e right shift - off). At present this action only switches the calculator's screen off. In order to exit the app need to go to 'File - Exit'.
This works with the free42 emulator for HP42S.
any ideas?
close the app

I have the same problem like for many other apps on WM6.5.X for which you dont have the bottom bar (eg totalcommander, etc.)...
And the global and easiest way to close an app on WM6.5.X is arkswitch I think (nice and fast).

hello RR33, here is the svg graphics to make a VGA version, but the graphics will have to be adapted with a VGA model in order to have the correct KEYBOARD.KMI file... do you think you can adapt it on the basis of an existing vga skin and kmi file?
hi ToKoMoKo very nice job . !!!! Unfortunally gts skin doesnt fit for my 400x240 screen. I love 48gx and your amazing design but cant find anything for my diamond2 dual sim clone. I run sucessfully little skins and bigest too but anything fit good.
Can you help me to make yours to fit in the 400x240 screen or upload your skin for WQVGA format. thanks for all.

Hi, it would be great if you adapt my skin to WQVGA...
I think it is simple on the basis of a 400x240 existing skin, you can take for example this one >> http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/284163/hp49-on-the-omnia/#entry969746
you just have to:
- open the BMP file and copy in my SVG file (with inkscape eg),
- replace the keys at the good place with the correct size (SVG is vector image so good quality here)
- export SVG to bitmap (PNG i think then convert to BMP) in 400x240px
- replace with the same name the original BMP in the original skin and it should work...

HVGA Skin
I have Hd mini, Is there any hvga skin for it?
KeyFeedback possible?
Hallo,
being a long time fan of the HP calculators (I own a HP28S) I have now the HP48emu on my HD2.
It is great (especially sine the current StockRom HTC calculator is useless, as it can't take to decimal operands in scientific mode...), but there is one thing I am missing.
Is it possible to add the keyboard vibration (tactile feedback) to the HP48emu? If anyone knows how, please advise.

Hi all!
We created a cool new app and hope you will enjoy it too.
The app's name is "Mobile Media Center".
You can use it to listen to music, watch pictures, play videos and keep up with RSS feeds/podcasts/vodcasts, all on your Windows Mobile device.
It can be controlled by the touch of your finger. Actually is was created because we missed a good looking media player that can be used while driving a car.
To get an impression of Mobile Media Center, please take a look at the screenshots below.
More information can be found here: http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl

The Pictures page:
The video player page:
Oh, did I mention it's available for free?!
Update 07/03/2009:
Today we released version 1.0.2.
It appeared we made an error in the setup package: a file, that is required for bluetooth control of the player (AVRCP support), was not included in the setup...
This error was repaired in version 1.0.2.
Update 07/01/2009:
Today we released version 1.0.1, which includes most of the remarks made so far:
On the RSS page a button "Read all" was added. When this button is pressed, all items in the RSS feed will be marked as "read".
When changing the settings, the keyboard (input panel) will now appear whenever you have to enter text.
The Videos page will now show 3GP and 3G2 files as well.
congrats on your release!
Thanks for this will test when i have the new ROM.
I have only one Question, what file format the Video player play ?
Waseb
Mobile Media Center can play all formats that Windows Media Player can play (it actually uses Windows Media Player for the playback)
it looks and works fantastic! i had to right click on the download. left click did not work. thanks for the app!!!
Does not show .3g2 videos taken by the camera on my Omnia i910. WMP does play these videos.
Some other issues I see.
Small graphics glitch where the timer is. Landscape album cover needs to be moved.
Feature request:
Allow people to create new skins in an easy manner.
great soft
You're not far from perfection
Keep going !
Impressive! Thanks!
great software..
but I think that you should use bigger buttons....IMHO they are too small and too near each other to call this application really finger frindly....
Perhaps you could introduce an option to set a bigger button look ...
On My Omnia (WQVGA) They are too small ... at least They shoul be twice to be used while driving a car
Its definitely a great app, its just the buttons are a little small as stated above and also its a bit choppy.. but regardless, Good Work! keep it up xD
Feed Back
Just installed on my Omnia.
I like it but:
The 2 buttons are a little small.
When trying to add RSS feed, the soft keyboard doesn't pop. Impossible to add anything.
It needs a option to load a OPML file.
Also needs a way to mark a feed as read. I have the same problem with Kinoma. There is no way to mark a whole feed as read so next time you come back, you have no way of knowing if there are new posts. As far as I know that makes it useless as a RSS reader.
My music library is stored in an 'Artist' folder then subfolders for 'Album'. There is a folder.jpg in the album folder but not in the 'Artist' folder. So the main 'My Music' page doesn't show any images until I open the 'Artist' folder and then I can see each albums and their covers. Other players just ignore the 'Artist' folder and show the 'Albums'.
It's a great start for a first release though.
Don't take too long before you release a fix for those problems though. We have short attention spans here.

How do you go about installing the app? I went to the site. http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl/
when I click the download link, I get a frame loading with a bunch of code. Am I supposed to save the frame as something.cab?
Wow! Nice work!
The idea is great and the realization is good too!
Of course it need some new implementation and improvements...
I think it's important have more compatibilities with video's standard and more fluidity when scrolling pages (for example album page!), bigger buttons it's a good idea too!
Also I'm sure everybody here are happy for this relase, my compliments
Please so, relase new versions often!
Thanks!

Thank you
i would like to request the vista media center icon for this app for the start menu. thanks if anyone has it or could make it
I just download te program, but when i click on Settings, RSS. I find that I can not type any letter as I can not see the keyboard icon at the botton of the PDA.
Very nice work!! Thank you so much for this app. I also hate the GUI looks of all the mediaplayers i have scene to date, and LOVE that we kind of have a mediacenter style program FINALLY!!!!
Resco has released an alpha version of their new photo viewer it is similar to the palm pre photoviewer.
lets you navigate folders, add folders to favourites, very fast and stable even in alpha stage. much much better than htc album or media panel.

Thanks. First thoughts after 5 minutes of playing - awesome! Auto rotating, nice and finger-friendly, and I've not found any bugs yet.
Works great, thanks for the tip!
Just having one slight problem though.. The app thinks I have 2 copies of the pictures in "Camera Roll", which is weird. Other than that, very smooth.
great stuff!!
if they can step it up and make the slideshow function better, its a great program!
(the random function messes up the smoothness and you cannot really slow down the speed)
Can anyone reupload ans make Screenshot?

Wonderfull app, I have the BETA version installed on my X1.
Hi All
My 2 cents worth...
The second Alpha and the current Beta seem to be quite buggy on a (unbranded) Touch Pro2. The program seems to freeze a bit and the Alpha even sent Resco Explorer into a looped error for some reason.
Obviously some functionality is still to come, but the principal is really promising. It is interesting that the first Alpha was a lot less buggy in general running, this versions seems to get stuck on some
general JPEG images in a weird pixellated screen freeze....?
The screen controls for zoom etc. leave a ghosted mark when they go off, this stays until you do the next action.
The twin rotate icons are kinda silly too...
The potential for this app is HUGE, there is still some major functionality work to do though, at least on a TP2.
It is a big leap forward and makes HTC's viewer look like a very poor cousin!
Cheers
Jabberoo
Very nice program. I found one bug. When want to upload a picture to picasa for example, I get the error: An error occured while logging to network.
Anyone else has the same problem or ppl who can help this?
Edit: Fixed the upload problem by logging in to picasa via default internet browser first.
i love the beta!!!
This program gets better and better!! I love it!!! Great and finger friendly User Interface and i just love to use the slideshow function!!! (its still a bit laggy when u choose random but i hope they will fix it soon!)

THIS IS FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO USE THE EXE.
you can download the exe and use winzip or winrar to extract it. than you will find the cab inside the extracte folder. I also installed it from the exe. I don't think it will be ok for the developer if I upload it here. Plus I really recommend to watch the resco site since it is updated very often.
Resco has now fixed the link on their site for the CAB, so it's back up again.

well this is something that keeps me thinking. If a small developer like resco can make wonders like this photo app, resco explorer and resco contacts, why microsoft can't? why is it taking so long to have a decent ui on windows mobile when spb mobile shell is been there for years now?
And after all this comes SE (wich took my 600$) and gives us a very crappy media panel that cannot browse picture folders and takes an hour to create a music playlist among other things....why don't they fire they developers and just buy resco and spb stuff and put them on our device???
sorry for being of topic
tried it. Haven't had plenty of time toplay with it but its working nicely.
I hope they add the button to switch the picture from portrait to landscape instead of doing it through settings. But its a nice piece of software. No crash yet, surprisingly
Do you mean so you can rotate it manually? I have mine set to auto rotate (right) which is absolutely perfect - if the picture is wider than it is high it will rotate it to landscape so that the screen is filled at all times. Just out of interest, why would you want to switch from portrait to landscape manually?
just preference i guess....i got use to the old pictures and videos where i scroll through pictures in portrait and then put them landscape on slide show.
I'll just get use to resco i guess
oh and i think the toolbars is a bit weird on this,although you have ur picture on landscape,the toolbars (zoom etc) stays on portrait. It'd be nice if they change it to landscape too
Cool. Good point about the toolbar changing orientation too, they're taking suggestions over at the Resco site for the app, so maybe let them know your thoughts too.
I had ordered my Desire from Mobiles.co.uk, but as I was driving past CPW in Chiswick on Saturady, I popped in and 15mins later I walked out with one!
I have had an HTC Diamond 2 (WM6.5) and an iPhone in the past, and I am totally delighted with it! Being new to Android, Im just feeling my way round things, but even now, I have to say it is the best phone Ive ever had!
I cannot work out how to play movies on the Desire! I moved a movie file over to the SD card (via USB) and I just cant find any app to play the movie - heck, I cant even find any built in utility to browse the SD card with! Does the Desire have an inbuilt video player, or do I need to install one from the market? Are any highly recommended?
This stupid newbie would really like some help!
If the video is formattet correctly it should be playable from the "Albums" app.
and no native file browser is installed, but I can recommend Estrong file explorer (will also let you browse windows shares on wifi and FTP)
Aaah.... Ill try that! I was looking for some dedicated movie app, but couldnt find one installed. Am I correct in thinking that MP4 format movies (as with the iPhone) are what the Desire plays? And any ideas what the `best` settings I use in my encoder (tmpgenc)?

Hey there. I really reccommend using doubleTwist on your PC - it's free and works really well with the Desire. It syncs your music and video files - and makes all your video files playable on the desire too as it does a conversion during the copy.
I've tested it by syncing a divx file on my pc with the desire - it plays great using the desire video player.

Well I tried a 42minute divx file. It took about 5-10mins to copy (transcoding as it copied I guess) and the quality was perfect. No lip sync issues or anything that you might find in a dodgy conversion.
I took a look at the new file on the SD Card - it was the same size but now intead of the divx file (avi container) it was a .mp4

Installed double twist which has a striking resemblance of iTunes..lol I thought these android phones were meant to be iphone competition? however they are becoming similar in many ways.. Pinch to zoom, app store, navigation menu sliding.. Itunes/double twist.
Anyway Doubletwist done a great job of converting an xvid avi, although first attempt the converted video was nowhere to be found on my phone after the sync..
So I did it again and watched some 24 on the train this morning.. Quality was great..
Although I did have my touch HD as backup encase the conversion wasn't good.
For any one struggling to find the videos on your phone, open the Photo's app.
Not sure why its called Photos as it opens pictures and videos..

I played with the Video playback functionality on Desire yesterday.
It accepts MP4 container with H.264 video encoding (up to L5.1, but only BASELINE profiles) + AAC for audio.
MP4 - 1000 kbits H.264 + 128 kbits (stereo), 800x480, 25fps MP4 is very fluent.
AVI - isn't supported
XVID may be supported too, but probably only in a MP4 container.

Yeah.. ran into some hell with choosing between WebClient and WebRequest.. TO EVERYONE WHO IS CODING ON WP7 AND NEEDS TO GRAB THINGS FROM THE WEB.. DO NOT USE WEBCLIENT.. IT IS A P.O.S
Works fine for me ! Great ! Another app which makes life easier.
Can you save the created ringtones to Iso Storage ?
So ringtones you have allready downloaded can be installed again only by choosing them...
Edit: You shouldn´t listen to much music from the old slayer album => makes your head banging and you can´t get concentration for creating apps...

I just put this up here so I wouldn't end up changing something then breaking it lol. But yeah I can change some lines of code to make it check ISostorage and if it exists, don't worry about downloading.

I know that album...
You should add a storage button where the user can choose or delete the allready downloaded files..
Where do you get the files from ?
Edit: also a preview button would be nice...

That will be in the next release, I will make the app a Pivot app and have a section for management of the downloaded ringtones (Ironically which is what I was going to do first). I parse them from a music website.

Also.. if you go to the ringtone in the Settings app and hold your finger on the ringtone, you can delete it from the list (although it will still exist on isostorage)
hi thanks! how about sharing code with us? do not like to useresharper all the time to check code
Nice! Thanks a lot. Can't wait until something like this makes it to the marketplace.
Looking good!
Great app!
Sent from my Samsung Focus "Mango" using XDA App

How to get all the tracks? As in how do you find them and list them in your app?

Really good app, but just need 1 or 2 things:
- Possibility to listen the song before add it into the phone (sort of preview)
- Increase the quality (don't know if it is really your fault, but i have tried some songs and the quality is very poor)
And it will be great. Thank you.

The functionality to preview the song is coming in next release (Planning on getting that released later on today). The quality isn't controlled by me. The next major release will have some goodies.. I have a few interesting ideas.
