Hello guys,
today I created a small program which detects most information of your CPU.
The program is called 'DetectCPU' and it does what it says.
This is what the app looked like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is How DetectCPU looks in v2!
The program is licensed under the GPL3.0.
This program is written in Visual Basic(.Net) 2012 for Windows Desktop.
Check the source code out, over at my GitHub: https://github.com/Beatsleigher/DetectCPU
Feel free to add your own commits, pull your own copies and distribute!
I shall now start work on another project, relating to Windows (Yes, also open source!)
Download DetectCPU from Sourceforge!: https://sourceforge.net/projects/detectcpu/?source=navbar

Thanks for using DetectCPU!
nice concept...but VB?
I would advice use C# or C++ and then try to make it platform independent so we can build something like CPU-Z for all operating systems.
For platform independent UI we could use QT or wxWidgets.(if c++ would be the choise)

From the look of it, this uses WMI to talk to Windows to collect its data. This isn't a very portable solution at all, so don't get your hopes up about this working on other platforms, VB or not.
I like the concept. Nice share

Does your app work on mobile devices too? I ask this because the screenshot you provided relates to a Win32 machine.

Yes, VB.
Comparing C# with VB is stupid, as they are both almost impossible to differentiate, the only real difference between the two, is that C# uses the C-Syntax.
I am already working on a mono-compatible solution, but as it uses WMI (Which is the simplest way to get as low-level as this) it is quite the task, but it's not impossible. I'll add it to my GitHub today.

That shouldn't be a problem. We can use wrapper-classes/methods(if u aren't doing it already) and then use other ways to read thoses information on unix systems.
Looks very interesting...could you upload the little program? I dont have VB here atm, but I would like to use the prog
Came here via the XDA portal!
Looks like a potentially useful program, however I would recommend removing all the "CPU"s from the list headers. All the information is about the CPU by design, and every list item starts with "CPU" so it looks a bit odd and is probably unnecessary as-is...
Just a suggestion

That would purely depend on whether or not you are referring to VB.net. VB alone does not refer to the .net version of the language (which is what is being used here anyway) and is often used to refer to the older VB6 (or even older 5 etc) which has zero relation to C# or .net.
For some reason unknown Vb.net does seem to be slower than C# for most benchmarks. I would assume that it is because C# is microsofts preferred choice and that they spend more time developing the compiler or something. Either that or VB.net is doing some weirdness under the hood. Here is one of many examples online: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/vbnet-vs-c-round-2-pounding-on-performance/1027686 C# and VB.net should be the same there, but they aren't.
But yes. Assuming VB.net (like your program) and ignoring whatever weirdness is going on with my previous point. Only difference is pretty much that C# has a C style syntax and VB.net does not.

Thanks for the info!
Pics you mention are not available
the standard device didn't get honeycomb
I wouldn't have thought there would be enough space on the screen for Honeycomb to work effectively, maybe on a landscape screen like the Excalibur but not on portrait orientated smartphones? I might be wrong but just my first impression.
Would be great to see those pics, please fix them OP!

You're not kidding, it's impressive the amount of work that went into this upgrade , they must've had a hell of a team working on this.
Seriously! How much of an upgrade this is , really! I got to say that I'm quite dissapointed with MS. There shouldn't be any reason why they can't make it look and feel like a mayor upgrade, make it look like the real wm6.5 pro for ppc. That's the way it should be.
I wish there was a way to make the WM6.5 Pro ppc version work with our phones.
I guess well have to wait for WM7 then. It just looks like and official MS version of 6.1.
Well although it doesn't have a big visual upgrade, there might be huge optimizations that could give a huge speed bonus, and it might be lighter on RAM.
But if you think about it, most software that has different versions don't have a big change until the next full integer (v2 to v3 for example)
6.1 was a big visual upgrade over 6.0, so maybe 6.5 standard has a big performance upgrade instead.

What like Vista did over XP P.M.S.L
It's just that we are still on about M$? Not like we get .1 .2 .3 so would be good to see something more like WM6.5 interface for SP would't have been that hard....
Lets just hope more refined?
Anything is possible in the world of Windows....

Yea, its pretty plain for now. The emulator image is also missing most of the OEM Packages. I'm working on duming the XIP (21234 Standard) out of it now but it's not cooperating. Anyone ever dumped an XIP out of an emulator?

Not missing. They're not supposed to be there. OEM packages are just that.. OEM.... Not MSFT In our case the "OEM" is HTC... So of course you're not going to see them in a MS release

Even if it does get WM7 on it, it would run so badly that it wouldn't even be worth it. I'm pretty sure that WM7 is going to be optimized for touch screen enabled devices anyways, so the interface would suck, kinda like the interface of Android on the Excalibur.

Having been studying custom .netcf control for several days
gr8 realese.!
You want to say that terrible and long process of resizing/porting is in the past?
And it can resize only new packages like from Leo and Rhodium, which have grafics coordinates stored in .xml, am I right?
Will wait for release

I believe this is a developer tool, ie netcf library for use with visual studio or similar program. This should enable developers to make applications universal to all resolutions that will flow nicely with manila interface. Very interested to see, as I am trying to learn a bit of programming myself. For resizing new packages that use xml I suggest programatix' xmlgui tool
cant wait to see some applications developed or updated with this. if it is easy enough to use, I would love to make some to replace some of the custom mortscripts that I am using in my ROMs now
wow really nice! i'll try it!
thanks!
I know people hate these kinds of questions, but any news on how SOON the coming soon is?
waiting for release...thank you so much, this will be very useful!

awesome
Awesome Man,
I'm trying it rught now.
Only missing a textbox. If we have and a textbox it will be great!
Good work one more time!!
Sweet. Thanks very much. I didn't expect it this soon.
Beautiful! I think this is the one thing WinMo is missing - a decent standardisation of UI controls
This is awesome! As soon as I get some cash, I will donate for this. I tested it out, and it works like a charm. Keep it up. For the love of God, KEEP IT UP!
Move over Iphone! Here comes WinMo!
OK, I am trying to work something with this...
How do I check if an item in the listbox is selected? Thanks.
BTW: This control also works with Windows Apps as well.

Really weel done! But there is some work left to do...
I tried the Checkbox button. The text entered int the text property isn't displayed eihter in design mode or runtime mode,
Furhtermore, the control looks ok as long as the backgrounde is white, but not as goowd when (as in my case) having a background whit another color or a picture.

Welcome to .NET You'll need to override your OnPaint method to get semi-decent background images without either flicker or that white you're seeing. Another thing which MS will take years to implement no doubt.
will the WP7 support for the old apps of wm?
i know, only market apps, but if we can cook, then we can add a install app existent which install apps, this if the programs have acess to the file system and register.
As far as current information goes, there is no support for legacy software, so I don't think that the libraries necessary for WM6.5 hardware would be on the phone.
Also the window-management (if one wants to call it that) would be completely different in the Windows Phone 7 series.
Another important thing is that it is based on a different kernel than Windows Mobile 6.* (which uses Win CE 5.1). I don't remember what the last number was but it could either be the Win CE 6 Kernel or as was rumored some time ago: the first use of the new Win CE 7 Kernel. This means that lots of API might have changed or be missing.
if we would manage to cook our own custom WP7 ROMs in the future then we also can get us access to the native api. however it won't be possible to run standard wm 6 applications due to GUI components missing. But we still could develop some nice little hacks, tools, services, free customization or maybe even build libraries with native functions exported (to re-use them in the Silverlight apps) to allow us develop something like a simple file explorer, task switcher or registry editor! though not sure about the Silverlight part. What are some .NET experts saying there?
Silverlight and Isolated Storage
When I first read, that there was no direct access to the FileSystem and instead the Silverlight isolated storage was to be used I wondered wether the regular Silverlight Quota's for the isolated storage would apply.
Anyone who wants to know more on what IsoStore quotas are can look for more information here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd458794.aspx
Suffice to say, that for Silverlight 2 there was a default quota of exactly 1 Megabyte of Storage Space (which could be expanded by querying the user). So I went to find out if this would apply to WP7s Applications as well.
Luckily there are methods for requesting exactlly this information.
This told me that I have: 1 927 Megabytes of free space and that the quota limit is set to the maximum value supported by a long variable - which implies no quota limitation.
The question remains: is this only true of the emulator image or will this apply to the final phones as well (my guess currently is that the 1.9 GB of free space imply 2 gb storage space on the emulator image and ~ 90 mb being used by the system and IE).
I hope somebody thinks this information is useful, I'll perhaps try how much i can fill this memory up and how big my programm can get in memory next.
How do I create 'pages' in VS?
I've downloaded the new VS Express and made a basic GUI app, but I can't figure out how to make pages. Please see my pic below to understand what I am refering to.
Has any one figured this out or seen any guides on how to do this?

Don't remember where I saw it, but I think pages or "pivots" as they have been called are disabled in this release of the sdk.
Edit - It's on page 57 of the UI Design and Interaction Guide.
Yup it's meant to come in the updated release, also support for Visual Basic
Visual Basic
I just downloaded Windows Phone Developer tools and i can see only support for C#.
Does that means that they are still working on VB part or that they done with VB and i should finally start learning some real programming languages?
check this out... good behavior that works like the panoramic control for that might be released in future versions of the SDK

hope this helps
you know what I'd like to see?
The WP7 homescreen consists of hubs, right? and swiping it to the left, gives you a list of applications. The app list doesn't seems to be finished yet, but how likely will it be, that this page will eventually be made available for UI customization? I mean, the hubs/tiles interface should still be the main screen when getting the phone out of standby, but the app page could an ideal spot for custom UI, just by a swipe of your finger. just a thought.
Quote from the developer forum
Hi folks,
I have some great news!
I received feedback from the GPM for the Microsoft VS Languages team, who indicates:
"there will definitely be support for writing VB apps for Windows Phone 7, but we are still working on the details and the timeline".

Cool link!
Yay, i can postpone my VB to C switch
Thx for info
Thanks for pointing out where in the guide it said that. Also thanks to mrabie for that link. I hope the 'pivot' template released with the final version of VS is a simpler though.
You can probably get away with using VB in SL4 using the VB edition of VS2010. Just avoid using any libraries or controls that SL4 doesn't support in WP7. Then when they launch WP7 it will just be a matter of re-making your interface and copy & pasting most of the code.
Beware: I am an idealist
Silverlight limitation \ work around
I was investigating if it was possible to create a Silverlight (SL) application that can help IT people with basic task; ping, trace-route, port scan, viewer HTTP headers, etc. Unfortunately Silverlight doesn't seem to be cable of doing any of this. Very disappointing to learn.
Anyway, the only work around I can in-vision is if a program were to be installed on that network that had all these abilities and then SL could just be used as a remote control. Since many of us in this forum are tech savoy people, I'm curious as to your feelings toward such an application.
Personally, I would use it only as a last resort. I have a similar application for my iphone, but its all self contained on my phone which makes it great when I have to troubleshoot a foreign network.
Possibly you could do the part about an http-header viewer, but as silverlight and XNA currently don't give you access to the ip-stack itself, port-scanner, ping, tracert don't seem possible.
A fact, MS hopefully will address. As to an application which does this from the phone using a proxy: if i have to setup that proxy first, I'd rather stick with that machine for the occasional ping, tracert, too - but that's just me. Nice idea anyway.
Arabic support in the development tools? [Edit: resolved]
Hello
I'm new to WM development and trying to learn on the WM 7 CPT tools released last week. I try to change label text to Arabic characters but they show up as squares. Are the current tools not yet supporting such languages or is there a work around?
On a semi-related note, is anybody else experiencing some lag while playing around the emulator? It just seems quite slow. I'm running on quite a decent PC (quad core, 2gb ram etc).
How would I go about downloading a file?
How would I download a file from the internet onto the phones storage?
I got a text file in mind, and I'd like the text from the file to be displayed in a text box.
So does anyone know how I would go about doing this?

You don't need to download it to the storage device to be able to display a text file from the net. I haven't developed on WP7 yet, but assuming you can use System.Net.dll and System.IO.dll:
C#:
Code:
HttpWebRequest hwr = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com/Robots.txt");
WebResponse resp = hwr.GetResponse();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
this.textBox1.Text = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close()
edit:
And looking at Scottgu's Twitter code example, you should be able to do:
Code:
private void Form1_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
string url = "http://www.google.com/Robots.txt";
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_DownloadStringCompleted);
wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(url));
}
void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Error != null)
return;
string DownloadedText = e.Result;
this.textBox1.Text = DownloadedText;
}
UPDATE: New incremental search on page ("Next" button)!
So, one thing that has annoyed me about Mango are the changes to IE's user interface. I love the new rendering and JavaScript engines, but the UI is a pain. It wasn't enough to hide away the Tabs and Favorites options; they completely removed the "Find on page" and "Forward" menu options.
However, these can be (somewhat) implemented in JavaScript, and stored as Favorites (sometimes called "bookmarklets") that execute the script instead of navigating to a page. This is the approach that was used for iOS 3 and below, for example (which also lacked Find on Page). It also works on the desktop, incidentally.
Together with XDA member @byobge, I set out to create bookmaklets that would reimplement these features on Mango.
Forward was easy. You can simply create a Favorite from any page, change the Name (I use "! Forward" to help it stand out), and set the Web Address box:
Code:
javascript:history.forward()
Find On Page was a lot trickier. For one thing, it's a more complicated action that doesn't have a built-in JS function like Forward. For another thing, IE on WP7 doesn't support the JS prompt() function, for no discernable reason (Mobile Safari does, which is how their version was implemented). To fix this, we created a pseudo-prompt that puts a highlighted bar with a text box and a button at the top of the current web page view. The actual searching and highlighting code was taken from multiple sources through various attempts to make this work, with the final version being borrowed from Jesse Ruderman’s bookmarklet collection on his blog.
UPDATED VERSION: Now adds incremental searching to the page, so it will auto-scroll you between them using a "Next" button!
Just like Forward, create a Favorite on any page, change the name (I used "! Find On Page"), and change the Web Address (Copy/Paste are your friends; make sure you get all of it!):
Code:
javascript:eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return(c<a?'':e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String.fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('(4(){4 e(s){b B.1z(s)}4 8(s){b B.1r(s)}4 12(){5 o=w.1w;b o==F?p.1v:o}4 Y(){5 o=w.1P;b o==F?p.1I:o}4 z(s){s.1J=\'1p\';s.1m=\'1M\';s.1i=12()+\'14\';s.1h=Y()+\'14\'}4 G(){5 2=e(\'2\'),9=e(\'9\');k(F==2){2=8(\'T\');2.r=\'2\';5 s=2.7,l=8(\'v\');z(s);s.1g=\'1e%\';s.y=\'#1f\';9=8(\'v\');9.r=\'9\';9.t=\'1d\';2.f(9);l.t=\'1k\';l.u=\'1o\';l.H=4(){P(9.u)};2.f(l);p.f(2)}10{2.7.O=\'S\';a=0}}4 P(s){e(\'2\').7.O=\'1l\';k(s===\'\')b;5 n=D(B.R,s.x(),s.Z),m=8(\'v\'),d=8(\'T\'),c=8(\'v\');1c(s+": "+a);2.13.18(2);d.r=\'U\';z(d.7);d.7.O=\'S\';m.t=\'16\';m.u=\'1b\';m.H=4(){N()};d.f(m);c.t=\'16\';c.u=\'1j\';c.H=4(){1L.1K()};d.f(c);p.f(d);i=a-1;N();b n}4 N(){5 s=e("J"+i),Q=-V,M=-V;s.7.y="X";++i;i%=a;s=e("J"+i);s.7.y="1G";1H{Q+=s.1q;M+=s.1R}1Q(s=s.1O);w.1N(Q,M);z(e(\'U\').7)}4 D(6,K,L){5 q,A,g,h,17,E;A=0;k(6.11==3){q=6.1u.x().1t(K);k(q>=0){g=8("1s");g.r="J"+a;g.7.y="X";h=6.15(q);17=h.15(L);E=h.1x(1y);g.f(E);h.13.1D(g,h);++a;A=1}}10{k(6.11==1&&6.I&&6.W.x()!="1A"&&6.W.x!="1B"){1C(5 j=0;j<6.I.Z;++j){j=j+D(6.I[j],K,L)}}}b A}5 a=0,i=0;5 w=1E,C=B;5 p=C.R;5 1a=C.19;G();C.1n(\'1F\')})()',62,116,'||pf||function|var|nd|style|dce|qt|ct|return|||gebi|appendChild|sp|mN|cur|ch|if|sb|nx|||db|pos|id||type|value|input||toUpperCase|backgroundColor|PAT|skip|document|doc|sN|mC|null||onclick|childNodes|fsp|te|len|yo||display||xo|body|inline|div|dv|30|tagName|red|PXO|length|else|nodeType|PYO|parentNode|px|splitText|button|eB|removeChild|documentElement|dde|Next|alert|text|100|FFFF00|width|left|top|Cancel|submit|none|zIndex|execCommand|Find|absolute|offsetLeft|createElement|SPAN|indexOf|data|scrollTop|pageYOffset|cloneNode|true|getElementById|SCRIPT|STYLE|for|replaceChild|window|stop|yellow|do|scrollLeft|position|reload|location|99|scrollTo|offsetParent|pageXOffset|while|offsetTop'.split('|')))

Improvements are totally welcome to this! Neither of us write JS professionally (or at least, I haven't in many years), and there are probably improvements that we haven't even thought of. There are also probably other useful bookmarklets that could be created. Go wild!
New script from @Martin7Pro to view the current page source:
Code:
javascript:h=document.documentElement.outerHTML;document.open("text/plain").write(h).close()
Note that this will "navigate forward" to the source view; you can return to the actual page just by hitting Back. If somebody finds a way to get it to open in a new tab, that would be awesome. window.open() doesn't seem to work as expected on WP7.
From @roqstr, a simple bookmarklet to jump to the top of the page:
Code:
javascript:scroll(0,0)
A few things to keep in mind:
Mobile IE doesn't support CSS position:fixed. Thus the shenanigans with figuring out the current view box.
Bookmarklets must be kept below 2048 characters in the mobile browser, thus the compacted form. You could definitley compress it further, though (for example, replace "document.getElementById" with a single-character variable).
Features that would be cool:
A way to find text that crosses an element boundary. This version only finds matches that occur entirely within a single text element.
A way to un-highlight without needing to refresh the page (although, in Mango, the Refresh button *is* sort of right there all the time).
Hope this is useful!
EDIT: Some additional bookmarklets for the phone that may be useful, such as translation and removal of non-mobile-friendly content, can be found here: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/bookmarklets-for-windows-phone/22429/. Thanks @the0ne for the link!
EDIT2: A nice way to get the bookmarklets in an easy-to-copy way is to visit this link on the phone: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/shared_files/Bookmarklets.txt
However, that currently only has the original Find On Page version. Hopefully they'll update with the incremental version soon.
This is awesome stuff. Thanks a lot for your work, I think it will be useful to many of us.
As an alternative, Browser Plus also has the feature to search within a page.
That's awesome! Thanks~
You're welcome! It was fun putting it together.
Alternative browsers can be very cool, but are somewhat crippled by the lack of a way to set them as the default. I think it is actually possible to change the default browser - the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry hive has configurations for the default open action for the HTTP and HTTPS protocol URIs - but nobody that I've seen has done it yet.
I like the idea, because indeed the IE UI is a pain.
As Marvin_S and snickler are working on a new browser maybe they can add some features....

Cool stuff have added it here : bookmarklets for Windows Phone
Well I've discovered after half an hour copy and paste are not my friends....in the xda app I can see the full code on one page not a stupid scrolling box. but in the app I can't copy and paste the whole thing. Needless to say I still dont have find on page. it would be nice to copy the whole code at once

GoodDayToDie could add it to post #1.

Translate and TextOnly
I found the code @http://www.1800pocketpc.com/bookmarklets-for-windows-phone/22429/. Enjoy.
It readable for backer only. Did they have any rule about telling the other people?
update: now audio come to VLC Metro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47650624&postcount=19). After the video part pass validation. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46405311&postcount=2)
We've been quite busy lately (VLC 2.1.0 release), but we have quite good news: we've finally been able to pass the validation for the Application, as you can see here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you might see, we did that a couple of weeks ago, but we wanted to fix an important issue before sharing it with you. We were not able to do as fast as we wanted, so we do the update anyway
We were able to integrate a new networking layer, without violating the Store guidelines, work-around the threading limitations (with a hack, though) and rewrite some more code.
So far, the main issue is that to pass the validation, we had to cut the audio completely.
Who needs audio to play a movie anyway?
We have a theoretical solution, but it still fails for unknown reasons.
We are working on fixing this audio issue and we will share a build to you backers, as soon as it is done.
Thanks for the support.

Hello my friends
I contacted the vlc-devs via E-Mail and they allowed me to post their answer
My Mail:
Dear VLC-Team
I love your work and I’m using VLC-Media Player for many years now
I have read about your partial port for WinRT, but me and a lot of People in the xda-developer Forum ask ourself if you are talking about Windows RT, because it is stated that it is for Windows 8 etc.(x86-x64) and not ARM.
Are you going to release a port for WindowsRT (arm) usable on a device like Surface RT-Tablet?
If you answer me please tell me, if i’m allowed to post your answer in the xda-forum or not.

The plan is:
First, build for WinRT. On x86. And pass the store validation.
This is probably the hardest part. And a daunting task.
Then, recompile for ARM, when the toolchain is there (gcc or
VisualStudio) and get on WoA (Windows RT).
Then, port the UI to WP8, as much as possible.

Sure.
Oh, yes, WinRT, Windows RT, Windows Runtime, Metro, Modern UI: what a
naming mess!

Thanks for sharing, though there's actually nothing new in there... it's been known for months now (ever since the kickstarter was funded) that RT and WP8 ports were planned, following the "Metro" (WinRT) build.
A much more interesting question, although one much less likely to get an affirmative answer, would be "any chance you could provide, or at least enable us to buid for ourselves, a version of VLC which is compiled for WoA (Windows RT) desktop?". Jailbreak obviously required, but screw "Metro" anyhow...
cx1, Blade. Thank you for sharing.
Hmm. I wonder what currently stops VLC from compiling for jailbroken Windows RT systems right now.

Cool, thanks. Alternatively, they could share the .APPX for any working versions they have, even if they use prohibited APIs and therefore aren't allowed in the store. It's not like the rest of us give a <REDACTED> for Microsoft's restrictions...
damn it, still no release date for my surface RT ...

Dear Master!
Never thought i would get an answer, and wanted to thank you, for taking your time.
A lot of People were soo thankful for that state of Progress.
Since almost everybody is able to run unsigned code (thanks to the jailbreak), I was wondering, if you could provide an unsigned beta (store-independant) or enable us to build ourselfes, a version of VLC which is compiled for WoA (Windows RT) desktop? (no signing or modern ui needed)
I would collect all Feedback from xda and send it to you (perhaps some of us could do some work to help you)
With the most respect and gratefullness

Thank to ffmpeg port. But now I upgrade to Windows RT 8.1. I don't sure what will done before. RT 8.1 hacked, WinRT VLC or I paid for some app.
I am looking forward to VLC launching for WinRT and ARM too. Not top of my list though seeming as I am using a normal laptop with VLC on desktop and a regular desktop PC too.
