Universal Remote Control with Hermes any success anyone?

Could anyone give me an info on how to use the hermes as a remote control. I was able to use my amazing phone before as such, wanna do the same with hermes but the universal remote via bluetooth can't work in my unit..
Hope someone could help. thanks

There's a commercial app that is supposed to be really good. It's called VITO Remote II or something like that. Google it, there's a trial version I think.

my personal experiences with vito are not good
search for novii remote deluxe! very easy to setup an customizable

use novi remot
hi, novi remote works a treat, you can set up macro's, learn from other remotes ie xbox dvd control, set up a custom "remote" all good.
The bad...well distance is not real great, and novi needs to make your screen turn upside down as the ir port is on the bottom.
hope it helps
google it and you will be ok. or pm me
cheers

Movie Collection Library

Hello Everyone!!! Was reading the forum for long time, the best forum out there, so well done all.
This is my first thread
I would like to know if there is an app where I can put my movies (DVD) library on my phone (the Great HTC TOUCH HD). Something like Delicious Library or mediaman (with a borrowed option)
That will be nice with a touch screen interface and download the movies data from imdb or amazon.
if not is there anyone interested in writing one???

The only movie database i know for PPC is "Leonard Maltin Movie Guide" where you can mark movies as borrowed. But as far as I know you can`t update the database as it is built in.
I am looking for a database myself a very long time.
In the meantime I have entered my DVD´s in List Pro (Hard work for about 1500 DVD`s)

dvdprofiler have all the functions you are looking for

my preferred is:

Thanks guys, I will try the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide and the DVDProfiler and let you know ....

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide doesn't work at all on the HTC Touch HD, whereas the DVDProfiler Works fine, but it doesn't display properly, the bottom of the screen is empty...
Anyone have an alternative??? or a solution to fix this issue??

Mmm, Movieguide works fine with WVGA, on my HD at least. Version 85 of 2008. Full screen! So?

jblend

i'm looking into playing some java games, do i need any special programs?
i saw something about a program called Jblend and i was wondering if that would work on xv6900.
also, would fpsece 0.96 work for playstation emulation?
any help would be appreiciated.

(REQ) Download or read multimedia URL ?

I dream of an app that that could one of two - or both.
A) Be able to download a multimedia streams (like GetASFStream) where any multimedia URL will be downloaded. I could really use that to be able to download TV programs.
B) Be able to see/copy the URL of any multimedia streams (like URL SNOOPER 2), so I can bypass any FLASH VIEWER and just watch the stream in a player.
I am quite sure that none of this exists on WM (google), but any hints are welcome.

Recently I thought such an app was close... My dreams of something of a kind died with Fennec... I hoped that when Fennec was mature enough someone would release a modified version of the FlashGot plugin that passed urls to an external media player...
Don't know if such a thing being done by an Opera Mobile Widget is even feasable.

I dont know about Opera - think their widget thing has silently died ..
But I simply dont understand that this has no more attention on Windows Mobile with its known lack of Flash support - or streaming capability through the browsers...
I mean - could we rip the URL as on normal Windows OS, we would download tons of entertainment. Like my own national broadcast company - lots of programs that can be streamed, but either the connex is to slow or the browser wont show the file.
Just give me that URL so I can see the program when downloaded...

Bump...
I am up for a 50$ donation to make this work...
Might think more on essentials and poste here if any could take up the challenge..
BTW dont care if any makes a paid for app to be able to do this - just make it happen

Stream mms:// (SMF, SmoothStreamingMediaElement, etc)

Hello,
I have seen quite some information regarding the streaming of live streams on the Windows Phone. However, I did not get it to work on my developer device.
Here are the problems:
1. I did not find a streaming url that Windows Phone could play (wmv, mms, etc), so if anyone tried it please let me know
2. If I add, for example, a smoothmedia player as follows:
Added reference to "Microsoft.Web.Media.SmoothStreaming"
Added this:
xmlns:ss="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Web.Media.SmoothStreaming;assembly=Microsoft.Web.Media.SmoothStreaming"
And added this:
<ss:SmoothStreamingMediaElement x:Name="ss_stream" />
And in the cs:
ss_stream.SmoothStreamingSource = new Uri("mms://theurl", UriKind.Absolute);
ss_stream.Play();
It will throw the following error:
"Play is not allowed when there is no source set."
So how can dynamically set the source to an element like that? (Had the same problem for smf).
3. Has anyone been successful to get the example for Windows Phone from Silverlight Media Framework to work?
The example can be found at the end of this page: http://smf.codeplex.com/documentation
I really appreciate it if you guys could help because I finished my application completely except for the streaming of urls, since I can't get it to work. I am aware that the emulator doesn't play all stream types, but I even can't get anything to work on my developer device.
Regards,
Sander

Hi. I'm trying SmoothStreamingMediaElement to play mms:// url and when I call mediaPlayer.Play() I get same message, "Play is not allowed when there is no source set."
Did you find out the solution?
I have tried playing it in the .xaml with AutoPlay set to true and then it works:
<SSME:SmoothStreamingMediaElement x:Name="mediaPlayer" SmoothStreamingSource="http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/smf/smoothcontent/bbbwp7/big buck bunny.ism/manifest"
AutoPlay="True"
Volume="1" />
But if I set AutoPlay to true and I try to call mediaPlayer.Play() in the related .xaml.cs I get same "not allowed" exception.
Thanks.

Did you close the Zune before starting your app? Zune is preventing playback of any media stream. Use WPConnect instead.

hey guys.
try adding "&filename=file.wmv" to the url you want to play!

Hi again. First of all, can you play an mms:// url with SmoothStramingMediaElement or MediaElement in Windows Phone 7? I think this is only posible in Silverlight, but not Silverlight for Windows Phone.
And I found out why I got that "not allowed" message. I was trying to get the SmoothStreamingMediaElement from Application.Resources, and then play, but it doesn't work. It works with MediaElement. Any idea how to solve this? I need it in Application.Resouces because I want to play and audio stream when application starts and it must not stop even you navigate to another xaml file.

To use MS Smooth Streaming technology you need a SmoothStreamingMediaElement (be sure to get a latest version from MS!)
Just drop it on WP7 page, in C# code assign a SmoothStreamingSource property and you allset. You may call "Play" method or set SmoothStreamingMediaElement.AutoPlay = true.
Everything works as expected. BTW, do not add "mms" to the media url! It sould be
Code:
smoothStreamingMediaElement1.SmoothStreamingSource = new Uri("http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/smf/smoothcontent/bbbwp7/big buck bunny.ism/manifest");
for example.

As I said I was trying to get the SmoothStreamingMediaElement from Application.Resources, and that was the problem. To do so you need to use a ControlTemplate. I'm doing so now and it works fine. Thanks anyway to all for your help.
Regards.
