Hi I would like to ask you guys if someone can help me to find a good media player for my XDA II? I would like to ask you also about real player and pocket DivX. When I'm intalling those two applications both ask me ->
would you like to replace the existing file "\Windows\gx.dll" modified on 9/25/2003 with this one? modified on 05/23/2002 then on both installation i pressed "No"(the options are Yes, No, Yes To All, No To All).
So what i would like to ask you is did i choose the right option, because I'm assuming that my existing file is better because it is newer than the file offered by both of the program?
PocketDivx: because when I tried to play the .mpg file under PocketDivx the picture was going very well but there is no sound and also at the end of the clip it makes my XDA II freezing so I have to do reset to be able to get out of that application.
Real Player: Both sound and and picture went well, it just don't play my .mpg file(the same file that I run under PocketDivx)
Is there any player available for XDA II that able to play all type of file?
Regards,
Willy
Try PocketMVP For mpg,mpeg,avi,mp3,ogg,........PocketTV offers extra options for mpeg files .............. 8) As for AMR files , Try Philips platform4 player

Also, it's worth having a look at Beta Player.

Thanks guys for your participation
Well... as I'm a new user of XDA II, could you please guide me how to install the last version of Beta player step by step? and could you please also let me know which file should i run as i'm going to use it in XDAII? because I've finished downloading 2 types of beta player the first one is "betaplayer.arm.cabs.STABLE.0.5" but it seems to me they are only bunch of ".cab" files without any setup.
and the second one is "betaplayer.setup.STABLE.0.5.exe"
The "betaplayer.*.cabs.*.zip" - Contains all the install .cab files for different types of device (arm,mips,sh3). No PC or ActiveSync needed. Cab file should be launched on the device itself.
The "betaplayer.setup.STABLE.0.5.exe"Standalone install for PocketPC or HPC devices. It should be launched on the PC when the PDA is connected via ActiveSync.
so which one should I choose to use(which one better?)?
Regards,
Willy
I would use the stable version otherwise you may have glitches with the beta release.

Just run the .exe. It contains the same Beta Player version as the .cab, just wrapped up in a PC installer. The .cab version is for PocketPC owners who have no PC (Apple users, for example).

Dear Forum,
Thanks for your help I appreaciate it so much. Keep on Rock'in Here and update this Topic if you have any updates or news about the multimedia player.

is there anything like winamp for ppc 2003 w/ equalizer, etc.
http://www.winampaq.com/new/index.html
it's nice but only support mp3 so not wma and such
For mp3 and ogg...
have a look at MortPlayer. IMHO it's the best audio player available: skinable, easy to use and best of it: it's free!
For video I use the above mentioned beta player.
Greetings,
BGK
the best player is the betaplayer...
Also you may want to take a look at Pocket Music.. It supports MP3, WMA, OGG and more.. It also has 10-band equalizer, skin-changing ability, great-looking GUI and it's free! Below I include the PocketMusic app and some skins (including Winamp look-alike)
I forgot to mention (very sorry) for skin-changing ability you need the PMF Feature pack (shareware). It features additional features like skin-changing, saving, switching between EQ presets and more.. But I think PocketMusic alone is enough.. Anyway here's the file
Questions about BetaPlayer
Dear Forum,
Hi guys! I would like to ask you about the beta player. When the first time I installed the BetaPlayer there was a question about wether i would like to intall it to the main memory or storage card, I chose the storage card instead of the main memory because I thought by installing it to my storage memory it will save my main memory. I ran the program many times and it went well I'm satisfied with that program, until this afternoon I add couple of video clips into my storage card by ejecting my storage card from the XDAII and plug it into my laptop's SD slot then copy and paste it from my laptop(I did not use the crade to copy the video clips) to the storage card. When I'm done copying those files I clicked on savely remove device then I pulled out the SD card from my laptop then plug it into my XDAII then I tried run the Betaplayer but the XDAII is freezing with the processing sign or icon appear on the screen, I could not even turn the XDAII off so I had to unlplug the battery from the XDAII to turn it off. Turned the XDA back on and tried to run the betaplayer again but it didn't do anything(no reaction at all) so I decided to remove that program from the XDAII then I installed it again like the first time I did but it did not ask me again wether I want to install it to the main memory or to the storage device.
So what I would like to ask you guys is, Is it good idea to install program to the storage card instead of main memory?
Regards,
Willy
Problem with Beta Player0.5 stable
Dear Forum,
Hi all! I would like to ask you beta player user. I'm using it and i feel satisfy with that player, so far I just have one problem; sometimes it is freezing just like that, for instance this morning i played a long recorded sound with XDA II program(Album), but because the sound is too long so the XDA turned off automatically, so i turned it back on then check my battery(because i thought my battery was out at the first time), I figured out that my batter was fine so then I decided to run the beta player then i cliked the open file, then I clicked on the video clip file, suddenly the betaplayer automatically closed(the screen went to the main screen), so I tried to run it again from the tool bar of the XDA main screen but what happened was there was no reaction at all, just like nothing clicked(I've tried many times but the result still the same-no reaction at all, the betaplayer did not run at all). I checked on the running program list and did not find beta player on that list. So I had to do the soft reset(I cliked the reset button on the bottom of the PDA) to be able to run it back again. this problem has happened about 3 times since the first time I started to use this program(last thursday). and i also tried to run a video file but the beta player said that "the atimageon is out of memory please try again later or run it with a different application."
Could anyone here help me to tell what is wrong with it? or did I do anything wrong to the beta player?
my beta player is 0.5 stable version
regards,
Willy

mortplayer is the best
Best musicplayer without any doubt is Mortplayer.
Skinnable, EQ, Reverb, extra bass, echo, you name it.
Astonishing sound quality with my Senheiser MX 300 headphones, is soldered to my standard XDA 2 headset.
is there an option fo rit?
i assumed the icon on the top right was it but every time i press it my fone crashes and i have to reset (pressing the reset button, is that the safest way without data loss??)
im using the default media player from the box from o2 UK
thanks
i dont know if this can be done, but try and get the cab file for wm10 from a 1.40rom, and install that , i would imagine it would install over the old version. im sure one or more of the pro's on here will tell u if u can do it, it might solve the reset thing.
'fraid not! The WMP 10 is coded into the CE ROM (1.40) and not a separate cab file....
A lot of XDA IIs users are happy with the 1.40 Rom and 1.13 radio (particularly now with the unidirectional patch as well) and it might be worth considering an upgrade without all that O2 cr*p on!
Follow the advice given in the wiki (link at the top left of the page).
my media player 9 and media player 10 both do this on certain videos. I think our phones just dislike certain files. Try opening a different video.
I know it's a little off of the topic subject but have you considered the TCPMP media player instead of Windows Media Player as in my opinion it is far better for video than WMP 10 is?
Hi,
I use Orb a lot to watch live TV on my Dash and it has worked great with wm5 but after the upgrade to the "official" wm6 now the video (live TV and other videos) shows rotated 90 degrees (to the left). This only happens with Orb.
Does anybody has this issue? I checked the registry for an option to rotate the screen but I couldn't find it.
Hi,
have you tried this tool to rotate the screen ?
Don't know if it works, but on the VOX you can turn the screen 90° - 180° - 270° ...

Need Registry Hack To Make (TCPMP) The Default Player!
Need registry hack to make TCPMP the default player. Tired of the twist and turns of windows media player 11.............!
I did that, but for some reason is not working with tcpmp.

I tried that on my Dash and it doesn't work (doesn't rotate the screen). It's weird Orb used to work fine with wm5 (wmp).
Hi,
what version of wm6 do you have installed?
maybe you have wm6 professional? (e.g. "pocket pc", hermes, ... version)?
I have the leaked "official" version for T-Mobile Dash (Smartphone):
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1)
Radio: 4.1.13.34_02.79.90
RIL:2.002
well,
does the tool work at all or does it not help you rotate when you watch a film in fullscreen mode.
Im asking because i could imagine that media player is setting the rotation angle back.
what happens when you start the tool?
It is not just an Orb issue - it is a Media Player issue.
I just tried surfing over to the WindowsMedia Mobile site. they have a link there for SmartVideo to watch live TV. I tried the demo stream, and switching to full screen rotates the picture 90 degrees, and fills the width of the screen.
Presumably there is a bad or missing registry setting that controls whether it does this or not based on whether the device has a portrait or landscape screen.

The tool doesn't work with wm6. It does nothing when you execute it.
The Rotating Windows Media Player Screen Fix
Is their a fix for the rotating windows media player screen?
I've haven't found it yet.
I to am looking for a fix for this frustrating problem! Someone please help stop the rotation!
JJ
Yes, I'm having the rotated fullscreen issue with windows media player mobile after I installed Windows Mobile 6. I've seen other people elsewhere mention the same issue.
Someone HF was able to fix TCPMP to work with Orb and other streaming sites just copying 2 library files (wmadecoder.dll and wmvdecoder.dll) to the phone's \windows directory.
I tried it with Orb and Windows Media Mobile site and it works fine, but it doesn't solve the wmp issue.
You can use TCPMP until MS/T-Mobile fix wmp.
Here is the tread:

Thank you Sportech @ HF for posting those files.
getwsted at HF found a solution for the screen rotation issue:
Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.
"LandscapeMode"=0
It solved my problem with Orb and other Videos with WMP in full screen mode.
Is there a way to stop WMP going out of full screen mode everytime the buffer becomes exhausted and playback pauses? Thats much more annoying than the screen being 180 degrees out!

omg thanks ive been waiting for this fix!!
After buying a W100 Wired Remote, I found that it only works with Windows Media Player (which in my personal and humil opinion sucks!). Unless you 'lock' all buttons, any press you make will open WMP (even if you're already running any other player),.... and if you lock them, well, you won't even be able to answer a call... and of course, if you're ok with no buttons... what did you want this adapter for????
I asked HTC for support, and how to configure it with other players, etc.. and this is the answer (after asking three times and two weeks after my last 'request')...
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
The "HTC Touch W100 Wired Remote" it's an accessory obviously made by HTC, having mind to serve our products.
Now, our mobile phones are supplied with windows mobile manufactured software and the only media program supplied with it it's the well known "Windows Media Player" in mobile format.
We don't supply other media software on our products and so we don't manufacture accessories for other 3rd party software manufactures.
Should you have any other query, please do not hesitate to call us. Your local number can be found at: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html

I don't think that's a reasonable answer so beware if you're thinking of getting one of these!
Prof.
P.S. Oh, I forgot to say, if you install HTC AudioManager, it will control AudioManager (and open AM, and everything instead of WMP). It's just that AudioManager has the same drawbacks as WMP, with 'pseudo-intelligent' media lists, etc.... AND THEY DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT IN THEIR ANSWER!!!!
The W100 Wired Remote also works with the FM Radio !!
Any solution?
I use Conduits Pocket Player v3.2 and it has plugin Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter 2.0
This plugin enables Pocket Player to 'host' plugins that are originally designed for Windows Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile. Many plugins simply control playback, such as the Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP plugin on WM5 devices. Other times, more features and controls are utilized, such as the plugin for Microsoft Voice Command.
Sound good but not working... maybe next version...
Too Late
I allready got one...
You R Right!
It Sucks!!!!!!!
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
If anyone's sick of it and want to get rid of it, let me know. I think it might be possible to map in wider support and customisation of the functions if I can see how it works.

Hi, i have HTC P3300 PDAViet BB v4.0 and recently buy from expansys W100 Wired Remote.
Automatically works in this rom with Audiomanager without install any specific driver, works perfectly, play button launch audiomanager, all butons are ok, holding next/prev you scan song, single click go to next or prev, if launch radio, buttons only work on radio, if anyone calling me when listen music (mp3) volume fade off and listen ring tone, button mute works ok.
repeat, i dont need install driver in this rom, works directly.

HI I don't have the w100 but I'm interested to buy a 3.5mm adapter so.. do have you try the Htc audio manager (the installable .cab) with the registry patch on this link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318459
with the registry patched the Htc audio manager is my default mp3 player.
Yeah I was pretty pissed too. Was eager to try w100+ Conduits Pocket Player and it doesn't work - who uses windows media player anyway? The only hope is some kind of patch from conduits :\
Wish I'd found this topic before I bought one of these. Didn't realize you couldn't use the buttons with CorePlayer, Conduits PocketPlayer, or Resco Radio. If you don't clip that controller onto your collar or something, it eventually weighs on the headphones and pulls them out of your ears. Once clipped on, you really look like a dork
Seemed like a good idea, just not well implemented. As-is, it's a waste of money...
Guys heads up!!! Things have MOVED forwards!!
I just tried Pocket Player 4.0. I think it's the most recent version. All the buttons are working without any problem. So, in the end, there is a cool player supporting the hot 7-buttons handsfree ;-) And it's working on a HTC Diamond. So, I guess, we can mark this topic as *SOLVED* ;-)
So - have fun !!! AND BUY THE HANDSFREE!!! It is COOOOOL !!!

Hi Im trying the pocket player 4 but my w100 dont work (still open WMP) how do you make it work? do you install any plug in?
Hi, I'm also keen to find out a little about the ROM and software you're running... My TyTn II (with Pocket Player 4) insists on controlling HTC Audio Manager.
So - firstly, what is on the ROM in terms of music players? WMP obviously, but do you have HTC Audio Manager installed as well? And did you tweak any settings in PP4 or did it just work out of the box?
I'm liking the W100 but not with HTC/Microsoft media players... any advice appreciated!
Any news?
Are you still using your w100?
this is an old thread but still not soved.
Mine was working fine at least with HTC Audio manager with my Fuze, with sevaral different roms as long as I didn´t use second today or something like that, wich will deactivate HTC audio manager and works only with WMP.
Now i have a CDMA/GSM Rhodium from Verizon with the newest Energy ROM wich is great by the was. But I can not make it work with my w100, it is only controling WMP.
Any news???
hello, im back with some more questions
1, i have CorePlayer but on one of my movies it says the following:
"Player : Audio Codec (AC-3) not supported By Player"
is there anyway i can get this video to play? its a dub of a Japanese amine
2, delay on ringing? Is there anyway to stop this, every time someone calls me on there side it says that its ringing but it takes several seconds for it to come through
3. ive seen some cool WM6.5 roms but im only interested in the menu thing - where it shows weather, time and loads of other stuff can something like this be made for WM6.1 as im using Mobile Shell 3 and love using it, but trying to find a good programs apps -im using LaunchPad at the moment but was wondering is there anything better?
Hi ArmageddonAsh,
1. AC-3 is an old ARC codec, from 1977 I think! Should be able to solve it with VLC or with Windows Streaming Media for PPC.
2. Use Montecristoff Diamond Tweak 0.5.4 for this and lots of other tweaks. Download for free at http://montecristoff.webs.com/hdtweak.htm
3. Mobile Shell 3 is the best, if you don't like WM 6.1. Otherwise uyou need the WM 6.5 ROM.
Good luck
