but now i also like to use vlc media player on my pocket pc to se setellite channel through wifi.
is some one have any idea to do vlc media plyer is also availble for pocket pc.
thanks

hi,
I tried the vlc port for windows mobile (0.83 I think), not for streaming but just local playing and I found that it sucked. Compared to betaplayer it is way less performance and files have to have a very low bitrate to be played correctly. You could give it a try, there is a port available but you have to expect performance problems.

Windows Media Streaming

Hi, I have looked everywhere for this problem but no solution. I have a wizard and I want to stream windows media music and videos from my computer thru wifi. but it keeps saying ''parameter is incorrect''. I've always played music from my computer with other pocket pcs but not this one. has anyone found a solution or tweak to do this? is it a windows mobile 5 problem? thanx for any help.
How are you streaming? Using SMB shares or are you using Windows Media Encoder or the like of? If SMB shares, check you can browse the directories first.
As far as i know, Media Player can't handle networking.
I use Conduits Pocket Player. It's not free, but IMO it is the best i have tried. It's has the best format support, handles gapless playback and has plugins for album art etc.
There are free good players around, but i have not tested them with streaming, although i believe GS Player can.
TCPMP is free can also player files accross a network, but it's more of a video player really.

access media center or windows media connect from ppc

Hi,
I have a Windows XP media center PC at home connected to my network. It has a huge mp3 and movie collection as well as TV card for recording TV on it.
So now, if possible, with my new Hermes I would like to connect to my media center, listen to audio and watch recorded TV, and other movies (divx)
is there any way to do this ?
any application that would do ?
There is an application named Rudeo Control at:
http://www.rudeo.com/mce.htm
But is this only for controlling ? or does it also receive streaming from the PC ?
if there is no easy way and/or application I would also be happy to reach it at least for my mp3 files through file manager on PPC. at least is this possible ?
Not sure about Windows Media Center but you can see your networked shares using Resco Explorer. You just map a share then you can stream any media.
I remember setting windows media encoder up with my old IPAQ and just used the inbuilt media player to watch asf streams. Im sure there is a better solution now though.
Have a look at:-

It might be what you're looking for.

Any one tried orb?

I just downloaded and installed Orb on my home PC and after a few minutes setting up i can now remotely access my Sky+, VCR, DVDs and photos, music documents and videos on the PC all from my MDA Pro (or indeed any broadband connected PC) anyware its connected to the internet.
It uses Internet explorer and Windows media player on the PPC so there isn't even any software to install in our precious memeory.
And it WORKS (You need a media centre type pc to get live tv streamed) Considering how complex this all is I was amazed that for once it all worked with out hours of endless tweaking, and its free.
If only the media player display was proper full screen...sigh

i tried to get it working but it wouldn't see my tv card :sigh:

I set it up to use TCPMP, which plays full screen.

How do you set TCPMP to be the default player for the various media? I read a couple of posts in various forums that say that media player starts up for live streams from orb even with TCPMP installed
Not got it in front of me right now, but I belive I simply set the file associations in TCPMP to handle the streams.

Just set asx of file associate to TCPMP in option menu.
But best way should be upgrade your rom to WM6.
The Windows Media Player 10 boundle in WM6.
It's support full screen and more smooth than TCPMP in streaming play.

Need some advice for UPNP

I have ORB setup to run on my PC with UPNP support. Orb itself runs fine on my Wizard, but I need to login to the mycast page first. What I am looking for is a program that will act as a front end to the UPNP server in ORB.
I have pocket player right now and it works perfectly for browsing the UPnP shares. Pocket Player will stream my music over UPnP but video is a no go unless the movies are encoded for windows media. This is the problem, I dont want to have to re-encode all my video just so I can do a direct stream. That was the point of using ORB, it will re-encode it on the fly.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Oh almost all of my movies are encoded in Divx.

Local Media Sharing/Streaming

Is there anyway to stream local media (video/music/images) from your home pc to the HD2 when both of them are connected on the same network?
My N82 and N97 did that flawlessly, (by media server), was wondering if I can do something similar via Tversity installed on my pc.
Thanks.
I'm not aware of a DLNA client for windows mobile, but TVersity comes with a web interface. Why not just use that?
Or, you can use pocket player with the uPNP plugin to stream audio, I am not sure how well video streaming works though as I never could get it to work satisfactoryly.
download tversity for your pc and get tcpmp player for your phone. I have to look into starting a post about this if there isn't one
I am also interested in this feature. I don't understand why Windows mobile doesn't have some sort of media sharing or media extender feature natively. I would like to be able to connect to my wireless network, turn on file sharing, and play a media file on my TV via my Xbox. I know that the HD2 does not have a video output method (such as the Nokia's, Incredible, Evo, etc), so I would hope to at least be able to make up for it wirelessly.
I was doing this exactly last year with my HD1, using the Network Plugin + CorePlayer/TCMCP so it is possible.
Just browse your network on your HD, find the file, and click Play.
For people who also have a Home Theartre set-up powered by a PC, check out GRemote as a great program to browse files on your HD2 and then launch them/control playback on your TV.
