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

Hey everyone,
I've tried searching for this in all the forums, but couldn't find a solution, so if it's already been discussed, I apologize, please just direct me to its location.
I'm trying to access my orb media from my AT&T 8525, but have been having some issues. Currently, the only way I am able to stream a playlist or a shuffle of songs is by using the real media player format within the settings in orb from the IE browser. The problem with this is, it doesn't allow for me to jump to the next track, if I didn't want to listen to the current one. So I have tried to use the Windows Media Player format in the settings, and I have ran the test.orb.com, and it plays the test file correctly. But when I try to use that format to stream to my phone, I get the error message "Could not open URL" (if I try to use TCPMP media player), or "Cannot play any items in the playlist." (if I try to use Windows Media Player as the default player). Again, when I run the tests (with either Media Player) using the Windows Media streaming format, the files play perfectly, but they just don't work when I try to listen to a list of music from my media. I've also tried adding the codecs (wma and wmv encoders) as mentioned in another forum, but that didn't help any.
Any and all help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try this version of TCPMP and the attached files need to be copied in the program folder after installation. Lastly go in and click all applicable file associations inside TCPMP (only one i leave unchecked is MP3)after the installation and do a soft reset. Try ORB again and it should work! Works great for me and this was a real problem for awhile. but, just found the solution and can't remember where.
Yessssssssssssssssssssss!
OMG you people are a freakin GODSEND. I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (In a manly sorta way ) But no seriously, I've spent over 4 hours trying to get this to work and it finally did (by doing what was mentioned above)!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank all of you so much for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm donating as soon as I get some money... lol. Thanks again everyone.
Ok so I've moved to the Kaiser (instead of the Hermes), and TCPMP was working fine in the beginning. And now, all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried a soft reset, reassigning the file associations, changing orb's settings to a different media type, and reinstalling TCPMP and the .dll's included above, but I keep getting that same "Could not open URL!" message. This has become extremely frustrating. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please help. If not, is there any other comparable media player that would work with Orb that I could try? Any and all help again is greatly appreciated. Thanks again everyone.
thanks for the props above. but, i dont own a kaiser, so i really couldn't tell you. but, i would of course suggest looking in the kaiser forums and someone there has to have it figured out.
I upgraded my phone from 5.x to 6.1 (Kavana Rom) tonight. I'm using the latest version of Kavana's rom, TCMP, the WM5 .dlls, and the wmvplugin stuff. However when I try to open a file from Orb it just warns me that a file with that name already exisist, opens TCMP, and after a few moments tells me that it "could not open URL".
I'm able to see the content at test.orb.com, so I don't know if the issue is with the phone or my installation of Orb. Or if it's a port setting issue, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? And if so how did you resolve it?
Thanks.

Not sure if this is your problem, but I too have never been able to get TCPMP to work with ORB. The only two programs that i got to work with ORB were windows media player and pocket player. Try them and see if you get different results.
BTW: Pocket Player is better than WMP since it has the equializer function
Same Problem Here

I have the exact same problem here, research is now in motion for a fix. I see that you have made the TCPM player the defaul player on your mobile device, but Orb will no longer come in (play) like it did with the other ROM's. I went back to the wmp, now it works fine, but I still want the TCPMP again to be my default player when viewing Orb..........! The PudgeDaddy will come up with a fix, I just know he will..........!
Got The Fix!
Ok, go to Options> Settings> Select Page> File Assiciation> and uncheck (Windows Media Video files (WM,WMV), you have the (wmv and wma codecs already installed in the windows directory). You will also have to uncheck (HTTP protocol), click OK and Orb will now act as the default video player, when viewing Orb media content...............!
One down, one to go
Alright! My problem with being unable to connect was pretty simple. All I had to do was restart Orb and soft reset my device. Now Orb streams like a champ.
However I'm wondering if there's a way to do .mkv files in orb with predefined Audio/Sub options. Right now I'm just muxing out what I don't want, but has anyone been able to tell either their player or their machine to only stream these streams from the container?
Ill be honest. i did get TCPMP to work as well. , but seeing all 3 players that work ( tcpmp, WMP and PocketPlayer) i'd have to say pocket player is the best one of the 3 when it comes to rendering the video with the least amount of video lag/skipping
PocketPlayer!

The PudgeDaddy, my main man, which PocketPlayer version are you talking about here, because Orb and the SlingBox go together like white on rice, like a hand and glove, with Orb, I got all my music and ALL my other media content direct from my home PC anywhere on the planet where I can get a Internet connection. (T-Mobile/Sprint, Get Married)! Those two are a must got to have on ALL my mobile devices, so holla back..............!

Version 3.6
Once Tmobile/AT&T get some new mobiles with faster processors etc with 3G speeds will Orb take the place of Slingbox? I would imagine it would at least bring down the price.
WM6 WMP11 Video Fullscreen Problem
Whenever I choose to go into fullscreen while watching a video on windows media player... it turns the video sideways... so it's the correct viewing if you turn the phone to the right if you're holding it in front of you. any fix? this wasn't happening in the beta... i remember there being a fix for the mda... but u could always change the orientation of the mda...
help? thanks!

I'm having the same issue. WM6 downloaded off T-Mobile's site for the Dash. Win Media player orients fullscreen video vertically.

It only happens with streaming video. If you play a local video (storage card) in full screen it works fine.
question about Video!!
is it possible to view videos on websites such as youtube on wm6? I don't see why it isn't possible just was wondering if im not seeing the correct method to it???
Regular videos can be viewed no problem, are you having issues with them? YouTube uses flash to display the movies, so it's a little different. You can try downloading the Flash Player Lite :

I haven't tried it on the Dash, but you'll need something like that to watch YouTube videos. Backup your Dash before installing as always. Good luck!!

I don't think anyone's been able to get youtube to work on the Dash yet. The FlashLite adobe product only works for sites that are explicitely written to take advantage of it...and the number of sites any of us has ever found that do that: zero.
You can stream in and/or download videos from tinytube.net. That site seems to be some sort of proxy that reads/converts video from youtube into a format that can be viewed on the Dash. Works well.

problem with playing videos on dash
hey guys, for some reason my dash cant play videos that i add through media player. any videos on there right now play fine, but when i try to open a video i just put on the storage card (through active sync), it says: cant find "name of file" make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libaries are available.
anybody know how to fix this? thanks...
btw, when looking at the file on file explorer, the symbol for it it is a white paper with a flapping window inside...
The title is basically self explanatory... windows media player is realllllly slow. It's usually the only task running. I have the 6.1 rom. I try to play music off the home screen and it just takes forever to load! And bogs down the whole phone. Anyone else having this problem? I'd just use the media manager but I like having the music on the home screen...
well, you have to take into account the hardware you're using...these phones, yeah...not so beasty

Also take into account that it's "Windows" Media Player empathis on the Windows, lack of codec & streaming support old unrefined and just plain right lazy, i know what you mean about having the panel for quick eaze of access, but there are far better Media Players, Pocket Player choice for audio & CorePlayer "TCPMP is the free version" for Video, you can set up SmartToolKit with gadgets to allow quick access to your most wanted programs, some screen shots sorry they are old on stock WM6.
Hope this helps.

I use Pocket Player myself and of course TCPMP. But if your "slowing down" try cleaning out your Notification Que (use SKTools) I found over 1000 duplicate itmes in there and after I deleted them.. my Dash was speedy again
I also clean out the reg (bad values, old values etc) with SKTools fairly regulary now... it makes a huge difference.
Also open media player and go into options, network and change internet connection speed to wifi. Also uncheck detect connection speed, that will help speed it up if you do plan to use it instead of another media player.
stats555 please forgive me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure he's commenting about playing .mp3 as WMP is pretty useless to stream anything, so to change network settings isn't going to help regarding performance as i don't think WMP checks network unless streaming. Think his best bet is to get TCPMP for now and give it a try then get his hands on Pocket Player like the rest of us
I think Bupahs got it spot on cleaning up the notification que.
