Slingplayer performance on the touch HD?

This is the one of the first questions I want the answer to whenever a new windows mobile device comes out?
So has anyone tried it on the touch HD and how does it perform? What happens to the display when you try the full screen mode, how does it cope with the high resolution? Any screenshots would be particularly helpfull.
PS I know there is a update to the slingplayer planned especially for these high resolution devices but I want to know how the existing version behaves.

I have used slingplayer on HD and its very good.But , when you want to change channels u have to change the channels via , File , Menu System rather than the image on slingplayer.Looks like the remote control picture is not scaled properly as the HD is wvga device.But other than that, slingbox performance is very good.

thanks for the reply, does the full screen mode cover the full screen or not? is it possible u could post a screenshot in full screen mode.

Yes, the fullscreen mode, covers the full screen and its very nice.You can set the settings for high action under slingplayer settings and it runs really smooth and superb.

But the only problem , I am facing right now , is the remote control image where it shows up is not scaled properly for wvga screen.It works fine on diamond, but not for HD. Hope someone can find a fix where you can find a wvga fix for VGA apps.

here's a video of slingplayer in action on the touch HD, looks pretty impressive.

Hi,
I've uploaded that video on youtube.
Slingplayer works quite good as you can see.
If you add channels (with logos) to your favorites, it's no problem to change channels. Works fine to me.

I've not seen it cover the full screen. Could you confirm again that you're getting full screen video? I have a Touch Diamond 2 and can't get it to cover and I called Sling and they said it's not possible. Is there a hack somewhere?

Thanks. it looks very promising.

NO. Can't see any more area than on a 2.8" screen. Was a big disappointment to me.

I get most of the screen filled in landscape mode. I only have the small 2-3mm black side bars that don't fill in. I am using the HD Pro slingbox. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. When you are no in landscape mode it is around 2.8" but otherwise it is pretty much fullscreen.

slingplayer on duttys r9 6.5
Hi It looks like the poster above has slingplayer mobile working on duttys 6.5 r9 rom? I try to install it and it says not a valid pocket pc app? any hints?
ignore that got it working...

Works fine on HD (I have the Sling Solo).
The upload rate at home is 800Mb/s.
The framerate on HD is jumpy sometimes. The picture quality is resonable. The images (including movies subtitles) are clear and readable.
In landscape mode, the image almost fills the screen, but not entierly.
I'm happy with that. Hope that a real 800x400 player version will surface up.

I have a Slingbox Pro and suffer from the fullscreen issue, I also think they should make the remote control etc. more finger friendly for windows mobile.
I have a couple of requests on the customer feedback forum
More Finger Friendly on WM
EPG / Now & Next Info for Freeview on Windows Mobile
Full Screen on Touch HD 800x640 (I know I got the resolution wrong but I can't change the title. lol)
http://sling.uservoice.com/pages/18846-slingplayers-for-desktop-and-mobile
So far It seems like its only been me voting so it would be great if other Slingbox users could get voting to help improve the Software for windows mobile and out Touch HD's.
Cheers

I'll put my two cents in when I get a chance. I done some invite only beta work for sling before. Not that is going to make a difference but it might help. I gotta say that the video quality is better on the touch hd than the iphone. I swear the iphone was better before the update.

What screen capture program do you use or recommend?

A lot people post screenshots of their HD (myself included), and I was curious what screen capture programs you all use. I am not happy with mine, but I can't seem to find too many options out there.
Do you run yours from your phone or from the PC via ActiveSync?

Hi,
I tried a lot of screenshot capture programs, but PocketScreen is far out the best:

Great! Thanks! I will try it out.

Mymobiler.com has a screen capture facility that works very well.

WOW - that is a great app. And it's freeware! Thanks Cheesy Dave!

I also found the jpg quality better than PocketScreen. However, PocketScreen is also practical for screen shots when you are away from a PC.
I really like both apps. Thanks guys.
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your imformation~But actully the linked address u posted I have used already. But it's using SPB mobile shell 3 to simulate hero's system,which is different from the thing in that video~

Read the youtube video info
Read youtube info first before making any rude comment
its already there... it says its just a spoiler or fake, nothing really intention to confuse the viewer or whatsoever.... My aim is just an inspiration for HTC Blackstone to have that kind of UI...
so thank you for viewing

does this not wok without spb , then i haven't install spb on my htc touch hd.
thanks

Christmas theme. HTC Sense 2.5/2.1

Hi!
How about a x-mas theme on the new HTC Sense or Manila or whatever u guys wanna call it now.
I've search and search but can't find any. Am I to early?
I've tried Giannis86 x-mas theme from last year but can't get it to work with the new ROM's. Tried it on the stock 6.1 ROM and it worked great but I dont wanna go back to 6.1 now that I tried the new 6.5 ROM's
It's the same with Alfoalfo's xmas clock, works on 6.1 but doesn't work on 6.5.

Somewhere here on xda is a thread for a theme generator that is linked to this site: http://ppcthemeonweb.benthon.com/ThemeOnWebEn.htm
At that site, you can generate themes to your heart's content. You just have to get some Christmas images of your choice and save the Jpegs on your computer to be used by the online theme generator.

yes
Thanks man, really!!
Will try it out as soon as I can

You just need to know your screen resolution when you select the initial theme. Prior to this, you need appropriate pix stored in a directory. Then you will set up the landscape and portrait lay outs. If I remember correctly, once you tell the website you want to create the theme, it will provide a link for the download of the theme it creates using your info.
The developer did a nice job and does not add watermarks or other info indicating his site was used to create your theme.
I did one or two themes just after I discovered the thread here and have the exterior website as a Favorite.
If you're going to publish your theme, I'd recommend going to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page unless you're good at creating home made pix. Wiki Commons has pictures that are in the Public Domain that can be used without violating a copyright. Typically if you use a picture in the Common Domain, you might want to attribute where you found it and release using the same Public Domain license.
Using the Search box off to the left side of the screen will call up pictures.
Good luck!

I've tried it guick but it looks like it's not for blackstone? no WVGA res?
and in the preview with my pics, it looks like it's for devices without touch? I know it has nothing to do with touch or no touch, I just wants you to know wich phones I mean. Like blueberry devices.

Maybe I just have to try HDWall

It creates a very basic theme one probably more suited for non-touch/non-TouchFlo PDA or smartphone. It's capable of creating every smartphone's theme - you just need to know your phone's resolution. I don't have a Blackstone or knwo what WVGA is. I have built two basic QVGA themes for my Jade Clone because I looked up my resolution and worked with the online theme generator to build themes.
You have to become your own master if you want to have Christmas themes.

HTC Touch HD resolution is 480x800..
There were no such resolution to choose.
Tried HDWall but can't get it to work, will try even more
Thanks for your help man
