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 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!

Beta Cab (0.8) available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
All,
Dock-N-Play (DnP) is a "Craddleware" application that detects when your phone is craddled and on external power. If so it launches a "animated" today screen that provides a clock, email, current weather and appointments along with... wait for it... an animated background! This is one of those - "WOW that's neat... can I get that for my phone?" impress your co-workers applications. I have posted a few screen shots. My hope is a small community will help create animations to share with others. After the initial release in WVGA I will create a VGA version for others (likely not QVGA though - sorry)
The next release (after this one) will include some more options to:
- go full screen,
- assign quick-launch programs to front icons,
- change clock to completely transparent, semi transparent or fully non-transparent
A later release will add assignable quick launch icons to the middle of the screen for things like GPS navigation, Phone, Locking etc
Here are a few preview screens:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Beta Cab available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
Some known issues! {beta}
I believe this will only work on English ROMs... the next release will fix this. Setting location for weather requires "blind" typing or use of something like My Mobiler... also will be fixed. Please feel free to create your own animation skins but be forwarned that I will be making minor changes to the config.ini and txt files to accomodate needed internationalization changes. The next major release will include a PDF guide for creating skins but I'm guessing many will be able to just look and edit existing sample files. Also current CAb does not allow/display option to load to storage card... as soon as I figure out why I will fix this too
Please enjoy and know that fixes/enhancements will be forthcoming
Wow...very nice indeed.
One request, can this app have a lock feature?
Sounds Great, Hope It Goes Well, And Keep Us Updated
Incredibly nice idea, I'll definately test this out once you release the beta. Cheers!
try to make it run in fullscreen and take advantake of the hd's resolution.
thanks, and great project.
Great job...
Looks very good.. keep up the good work looking forward to test it
Can we have a youtube preview ? 'cause the picture previews doesn't really give us an idea of what it is like to have an animated background
I'm rebuilding my dev box with Windows 7 and watching the Superbowl... I'll put a video on my blog tomorrow and add a link to the first page.
Looks like a really great idea! Looking forward to testing it out, keep it up!
an Idea
abeery, what about an option to turn Touch HD into a picture frame ?
i.e full screen picture slideshow.
Good Luck to you and all Developers!
Some quick comments and answers
Added video to first link
Animations can be created by end users so picture frame possible
Full screen an option I will add but not use myself because I need full notication task bar icons for work
i love the idea!
what i would like to see in this app is a three mode function(or more).. for use in the car, home and office..
lets say i get in my car and i dock the phone on its holder, a screen will pop up with 3 big buttons that say "Car" "Home" "Office"
i click the button Car and the car menu shows in screen.. maybe it has a big clock a big "Call" button a Button to launch my GPS app etc..
when i receive a phone call in Car mode a screen should pop up with some nice buttons to answer or reject the call.. maybe a photo of the caller etc!
Now for the "Home" and "Office" modes what you already developed seem to fit
cheers!
I love this idea... Let me play with it and see what I can come up with... may end up being a version 1.5 release but I will do it.

Brilliant work can't wait finally something to show off to the iphone boys.
Will we be able to get rid of the bottom "curtain" and make the clock smaller in order to see more of the background?
Maybe make the clock background transparent instead of white so that more of the beautiful animation background can be seen.
Beta Cab now available
Wow thanks will give it a try
Thanks a lot for your idea and work
I like a lot the idea of umexed +1
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.....

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.
Click on the link below which takes you to the main thread and you will find it at the bottom of post 1.

Enjoy!
Ps. QVGA version to follow...

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.
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?
@The requested Forum Group cannot be [email protected]
it is not on their website anymore.. can anyone upload?
thx in advance
ok, got it :

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!)

Could you attach the CAB here?

Extracted the CAB, installed and ... bloody hell ... it's way better and faster than the Manila photo viewer ... more features too ...
I'd pay for this when it's released as long as it's *reasonably* priced ...

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.
A short delve into the emulator in the developer tools reveals things like navigation that still hasn't officially been confirmed!
Here's what I've found so far:
Zune:
-There's a smart-dj feature
-You can create and save playlists
-There's a "related artists" and bio under the artist tab, great for discovering music
-Podcasts work well
-You can't "heart" songs (at least in the emulator)
-There's still no scrub controls
Bing & Maps
-Bing maps has voice-guided directions as expected
-You can show traffic on maps
-Still no landscape maps
-It's now possible to scroll the mini-map while the text directions are on-screen
-Bing music recognizes music like Shazam and clicking on the result will take you to zune marketplace
-You can now unlock the phone using the search button, apparently
-If you search for something on Bing that has an application equivalent; it will show you a link to the application within Bing.
Keyboard
-Keyboard prediction has been improved a lot:
It previously didn't correct misspellings of many short words like ar -> at, fir-> for and br-> be), now it does
It also now corrects it if you press a letter instead of space between two words e.g. it will suggest "I'm about" if you type imnabout or imnaboit, and will suggest "How are you" if you type "hownarebyou"
The keyboard also corrects common misspellings like Profesional -> Professional
-Keyboard tries to predict next word (as shown at 24th May event), e.g. If you type I, then "tr", it will suggest "tried", whereas in WP7 it will suggest nothing. This seems to work pretty well
IE
- Websites seem to render more accurately
- Websites can use GPS data for location
- Bing suggestions now appear when typing a search in IE as well
- Text still looks garbled when really zoomed out
- Tab animation has changed very subtly
General OS:
- Same colour themes as last time
- It appears you can't "press and hold" the back button in the emulator, meaning possibly we can't do multitasking, even in an unlocked emulator.
Camera
- No changes in general layout. There seems to be a software camera button in the camera app
Can't wait for an unlocked emulator!
Update: If you search for something on Bing that has an application equivalent; it will show you a link to the application within Bing. Picture at the end.
Update 2: Additions to the keyboard section about prediction
Update 3: There seems to be a software camera button in the camera app
Update 4: It appears you can't "press and hold" the back button in the emulator, meaning possibly we can't do multitasking, even in an unlocked emulator.
Update 5: The "my location" icon now has the same colour as the OS theme

fantastic write up
Thanks. Updated with one more thing If anyone else has things to add, I will update the list
Thank you for the infos you provided! I was wondering if there's any chance to explain a bit how does the "smart DJ" option in Zune, work?
Can you move songs around freely and then create the playlist or not? How does it work?
Thank you for your time!
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the emulator. I'll let you know if I can get it working.
EDIT: To expand on that, it says "WE don't have enough info about this artist to generate a Smart DJ playlist"
"Bing music recognizes music like Shazam"
> Shazam inb4 out of business in wp7 lol.

Who knows what "smart dj" option really is...
Anyway, thanks for your time and efforts!
On the zune player, the smart dj takes the song you are listening to, and creates a playlist of 25 or so songs that are similar to that song.

its kinda like Pandora, auto creates a playlist based on your taste with songs from your library and also marketplace if u have a Zune pass. The Zune desktop software has it and so did the Zune HD I m guessing.
And yeah Bing music looks awesome, maybe thats why Shazam decided to remove their app from the marketplace
Awesome work so far Robin.B! We're writing an article about this post right now.
From the 7.1 Beta Release notes:
"The task-switching user interface that accessed on physical devices by pressing and holding the back button, is not supported on the emulator."
I was looking forward to checking that out, too
One of the main Mango's features: IE now supports HTML5! And with hardware rendering and acceleration! This benchmark http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/performance/fishietank/ gives me about 25-26 fps in emulator. Wow, MS! Real device will render at least 50-60 fps
P.S. Still no Silverlight support in browser :-(

Ah, that is the thing I was hoping not to get as an answer... I hope you agree with me, that that is kinda useless.
It would be much better if one could rearange the songs in wished order, and then save that as an playlist (of course, with a possibility of editing that playlist).
Task Switching is accessed by pressing and holding F1 on your keyboard.
I'm running the emulator and was looking forward to trying a few things, but my PC keyboard doesn't work in the emulator. Is this normal?

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?
It's amazing app. THX work fine. (+)
Thanks!

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.
