Hi .... first of all I wanted to say this board is Amazing and I have read a lot and modded a lot thanks too u guys.
I use my MDA at work to listen to streaming radio as well as Mp3's... listening to mp3s is fine... however I only have t-zones and the streaming only lasts 3 or 4 minutes... I know its because I have t-zones ... at least I think thats why... Anyway I was wondering if there was anyway of Windows Media Player to refresh the connection so that it will restart automatically.. so that I do not have to keep taking it out of my pocket and doing it?? It brings up an error message I have to click ok then the play button and then it goes fine again for another 3 to 4 minutes. Just wonder if I can bypass that... I dont mind it having to refresh every 4 minutes... just wish IT or some other media player could do it.... ANY suggestions would be helpful... thanks to all again.

Is there a program that I can use to stream music from my computer to my 8125 using GPRS and WiFi? I would like to listen to it everywhere without buying 15 cards.
http://www.orb.com/
i have even successfully streamed audio using Orb over gprs! lucky i have free gprs!
another vote for Orb.
It makes it simple to stream music and videos to your phone.
Mercora M has performed better for me. It costs, but if you go to Microsoft.com you can get a 6 month free trial. It includes internet radio too.
I'm going to try Mercora M because Orb wasn't letting me stream over GPRS for some reason.
I get the "session not valid" message.
I'ma try Mercora M and get back to ya.
I would totally say go with Orb. If your GPRS is not letting you connect, I would suggest trying with a different Mobile Browser (for example, Opera worked for me where Pocket IE did not).
Just a thought
i love orb... dont us GPRS b/c its not free for me.. but i use wifi and I even stream TV from my ati 550 pcie tuner cards in my media server..
i love watching baseball on my 8125
I could never get Orb to go over GPRS. I'm sure it works great on Wifi. I also had trouble getting it to fidn my removable hard drive (all my music is on that). I gave up, downloaded Mecora M and it works great. It's sad that it costs money but I'm hoping someone out there will help me with that...
For wi-fi i use resco explorer to stream music and video. All i do is share my folders and network map my drives in resco. Install tcmp and it will even play divx! Music is not a problem either works a dream. Next i will look into streaming over GPRS but not sure my t-mobile connection is reliable enough.
Does anyone have any experience/thoughts about using Orb with an 8125 on Cingular's network? I have been using it recently with mixed results. I am always getting network errors, or continuous buffering (even set at 40kbps, running on the EDGE Network). When it does seem to work, it works decent. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, settings, or thoughts to share.
Thanks!
I've tried using the 8125 and Orb on both EDGE and a wifi network. The results are not so good to just plain aweful. I think the problem is that the processor just falls short of being able to handle the network traffic and process the video. I can use a laptop and ORB over the same network and it performs flawlessly.
I can copy a video to a memory card and it will play just fine. But try to stream the same video over ORB and it just seems to stutter along.
I was wondering if the new 8525 would perform better at this task than the 8125. Has anyone tried that?
I tried an 8525 we have here at the store, and it seems to work a little better. I'm going to try overclocking my 8125 a bit to see if I can get any better results. I have also tried just downloading my music through orb to my memory card (using the file browser) and it gets stuck about half way through on anything over 2 mb.
Overclocked to 240MHz and still Orb sucks. Guess it just wasnt meant to be should have known when it didnt work in Opera!
it works great for me on cingular with my 8125, i am using farias wm6 that is in the rom kitchen and i use conduits pocket player and set the stream to pls
my connection i usualy around 150 to 180 using the speedtest in orb. as long as my home computer is not downloading anything i have perfect streaming of video files from my hardrive and i watched 2 hours of streaming tv the other day with no buffering.
Works great with my KJAM. I've tried movies and recorded TV, both via EDGE and Wifi. Wifi gives higher resolution, but EDGE is also fine.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, Overclocked (constantly) to 264 Mhz, using WM5 and WMP.

Thanks for the advice, seems to work a little better now. Maybe I'll buy conduits P.P.
Ok, Here is my issue.. When I try to play a song through windows media player... <Windows Mobile 5, since Cingular wont offer the WM6 upgrade for the 8125 and I am a moron....> it gets about 20 seconds into the song then the whole device freezes.. I have plenty of memory.. but it freezes.. and I cant figure out why, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Ok, I have been googling both here and in general and cannot find the solution to my search. There are plenty of places to watch old TV episodes on my PC at home, such as surfthechannel.com, but I can't seem to find the same thing for mobile phones like ours. Anyone know of a good website that has old TV episodes that can be streamed over the data connection to our phones? I was almost all caught up with Dr Who and wanted to get in some additional watching while at work.
Download Skyfire browser and watch your shows on that site. Should work.
http://www.skyfire.com/
I agree...use Skyfire. I tried nearly every single shareware and freeware program that is supposed to let you watch TV and they all had major problems. The biggest issue is that Media Player cannot handle most of the video streams. I even tried Coreplayer and it busted out on most of the streams.

seems to be working fine. Thanks. It was agrivating using IE and having it give me a mobile version rather than let me actually get to the video content like I wanted.
Update: I found the issue and the fix to no audio. In advanced settings make sure you don't have hint for mobil checked. Once you have made that correction do a soft reset and you should have audio. I have not gotten on surfthechannel yet to confirm if it fixes it there or not. Will update later today when I try that sight.

does your volume work on surfthechannel.com? i can't seem to get it to work... hmmf! the video seems alright, but useless without sound! i am addicted to house! =)
actually I didn't try it there yet. I was watching chuck on NBC.com yesterday. I will try out a Dr Who episode later today to see if sound works or not.
Make sure your audio is not muted (here will be a checkmark if it is muted). In Skyfire go to Menu -> Actions -> Mute Audio
actually it seems that today I am getting no audio either. Nothing is muted. I did a soft reset last night. I usually do to make sure the GPS is not running any more and since then it is not playing sound.
thank you necromis and segadc....but I beg you both to forgive my stupidity! lol =) I actually figured it out last night... it seems that my audio was muted thru the actions menu....hmmmmmf, go figure that would produce no sound!!! lol *blushing*
well I had put an update on here earlier but it didn't stick so I am posting it in a new message. I found the fix on here earlier for the audio, besides the obvious one you found. LOL It seems that if in the advance settings you have hint for mobile checked it won't sync sound. So make sure that is also unchecked and do a soft reset afterwards. Also the audio server is not always functioning or connected to properly. You can try to exit and reload skyfire to resolve it and hook up with the audio server properly that way.
