pocketmind "pocket music" won't work!

i think the subject says it all!
Version 3.71 won't launch.
Subsequently, Conduits Pocket Player 2.61 will launch, but the playback is so slow and jittery, it either must be a dog on the processor, or this is where the limitation of the OMAP processor is revealed. Ouch.
uninstalled pocket music, but found files are still looking for it, may not have completely gone?
iMusic works!
http://imusic.citsoft.net/eng/main.asp
tried both imusic & conduits pocket player, imusic is very good but both lack a couple of facilities that pocket music had,
display off function & lock hardware buttons
Don't bother with iMusic, i was told it screws up the ringtone capability.
thanks for the advice,
i had a similar problem with pocket music with my old pda, and what helped was not to let the "auto associate files types" run during the install.
New Pocketmusic for WM5 out soon!
It will be in this month.

Subject: Pocket Music for PPC WM5?
Hello,
Please could you tell me when you will be releasing an updated version of PocketMusic for Windows Mobile 5?
It doesn’t work properly on WM5 at the moment and I think your player is the best out there!
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sorry to reply to myself, but you can set imusic to be able to turn off the display, and of course you can remove hard button controls.
:? my fault for not reading instructions
Pocket Music Not Working - NOW FIXED apart from EQ Fader
I upgraded my old o2 XDA 11s FW to I-Mate latest (in sig) I have to run PocketMusic from Program Files, dosnt show up in Programs list, AND cant switch WINAMP SKINS, what ever folder I put them in PMSKINS and SKINS
which makes me very unhappy! :x
PocketMusic v3.7.1 and running SpbPocketPCPlus2.5 dont know if this conflicts ?
SOLUTION, just downloaded the 3.71 .exe from location 2, ran it, works with skins but GRAPHIC EQUALISER not holding fader positions, any ideas?
whats wrong with built in media player?
do these players play movie files too? (divx/xvid)
unless i am wrong, you can't turn the display off in the supplied media player.
if i am wrong please tell me.
Sure you can - you can assign it to a button within Windows Media Player's options.
The downside to it is that it doesn't even support soft keys! WTF?!
PocketMusic GRAPHIC EQUALISER NOT WORKING
POCKET MUSICS GRAPHIC EQUALISER is not holding fader positions,
any ideas?
Also the "SONY" graphic is messed up, on my Winamp skin Expensive hi fi 2005 (winamp.com search skins for "expensive" its realy nice!)
I'm using I-mate latest FW ROM, and downloaded Pocket Music 3.71 from "Location 2" the .exe from www.pocketmind.com
no idea from me,
seeing that i can't even use pocket music at the moment :?

How can you play avi files (dixv / movies)

Im guessing windows media player will need a driver...
I dont have my activesync working tho so Im just transferring files to my card
Get yourself a copy of TCPMP it's free & does what you ask for. Combine it with PocketDivXEncoder & you can watch (almost) everything on your PPC.
Cheets, M
I cant get them to install right! Is there not just a driver I can save and place somewhere ?
Not that I know of, you can try pocket tv for mpeg files, otherwise try googling for ppc & divx. Maybe something interesting comes up. Btw pocketdivxencoder runs on the pc.
Yeah I convertered the file to a smartphone file (I think) but I couldt get TCPMP to install
Did you go for the correct cab file? There were several versions in the zip. Or did you use the Windows installer? My magician needed something with arm & ce3 I belief, I prefer cab installs.
Hope you get it working cause it's worthwhile.
Im not sure how I can do it with activesync not installing on my computer...
If I get the cab files can I just place them in the program files somewhere ?
Yes just pick the option to download the cab installer. I got the file tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip from http://corecodec.org/frs/download.php/366/tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip here.
When you unzip it there are several cab files, pick the one for the wizard & put it on your device, anywhere is ok. then click on the cab from within the wizard's file explorer to install. That should the trick. If the cab doesn't work, pick another one till it works. The cpu & OS version are important in this part.
Cheers, M
Get them into My Documents or onto your SD card using a card reader. Then double click the file in the phone's File Explorer to rrun the CAB installer.
Right one last question and i think im there... when i convert the video do i have a smartphone or a pda? Or some otehr device...
PDA
Ahhhh yey I got it to work! I thought it was just installing a codec to windows media player but its a new program right! Thanks a lot guys (n girls)
Nice to hear & have fun with it. I certainly do ;-) It's a great show off as well.
Yeah! I bet I get it nicked on the bus now!
I managed to travel to Amsterdam, by bus & train, & back watching Kuzco 2. Much more fun than reading work stuff
whats the battery life like when its playing vids? Im going to manchester soon so its a 5 hour coach journey
My magician battery claims about 5hours use, but playing movies I guess it will reduce seriously. Haven't done enough testing with it. Try it by having a movie playing & keep an eye on the battery, a wizard might be better off in this. For serious power: the mugen replacements get good critics, though not very cheap.
I managed a three hour trip today with movie, mp3, e-mail & internet by gprs. So if you've got a small extra mp3 player you must be able to survive the coach trip.
last advice: Experiment with sound settings first, the default were awfull & mono with pocketdivxencoder. No advice for settings as I'm experimenting too ;-)
can it play movies in fullscreen? and can someone post some pics of the wizard playing a movie in fullscreen. tnx!
full-screen
Yes it will do full-screen playback, just like MediaPlayer.
I'd say it yourself the program is free & small. I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
M
can someone post some screenshots of the wizard playing video in fullscreen? btw hows the picture quality of the videos in fullscreen?

xda Mini S media player SD card question

I've recently bought a 1 gig card for my XDA mini which has been working fine except for one annoying issue.
Almost every time I open the phone out of standby (black screen) it seems to open up into windows media player asking me to search the newly inserted card for media. The frist time I figuered fine no big deal, but it keeps doing it all the time and its getting very annoying.
Is there any way of stopping this? has anyone else had this problem??
Can anyone help me to sort this out??
Thanks, Sam
It sound like media player hasn't closed but is running in the background minimized, close it properly, goto control, memory and close it down.
I had the same, best to get an app that closes programs rather than the stupid smart my @[email protected] minimize.
Thanks Declan,
Can you recommend any, and the best place to download apps for windows mobile??
vBar & MagicButton are a couple of free apps which make the close button actually close rather than minimise.
Another is smartskey (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) , which also lets you remap the softkeys so that if you hold one down, rather then just press it, it'll bring up the start menu (left soft key) or OK/close (right soft key). Very useful.
Some software links:
http://www.freewareppc.com/
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php
www.handango.com
www.sbsh.net
Recommended (free) media player: TCPMP ( http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about ). Plays divx, xvid, etc etc.
Free encoder for the PC, to recode & shrink vids down to PDA resolution: http://divx.ppccool.com/
I got my XDA Mini S just over a week ago. Currently using smartskey, TCPMP, PHM Registry Editor, pRSS reader (all free), & also just bought PocketBreeze & iLauncher from SBSH (two fairly cheap, & *very* good, plugins. PB replaces the Calendar, Tasks, etc on the Today screen, iL is a launcher so you can put shortcuts on your Today screen).
