I've searched around and found a few posts but so far nothing has worked.
Here's my scenario. I've got a PBX with Unified Messaging capabilities, these messages are encoded using ADPCM, now the distributor for the PBX includes a coded for windows machines to play the ADPCM format they use, however from what I can tell there is so far (that i've found) no coded for windows mobile.
What options do I have for playback of these audio files? I can't really change the output of the PBX (i could but then file size would become an issue since ADPCM is really good at compressing telephone quality voice). As I mentioned earlier I do have the windows codec, is there anyway to port it to work on Windows Mobile 5?
I have tried a few of the players listed here, however they don't want to play those Wav files... so I wonder if its a customized ADPCM codec their using...
Anyways I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks~
I know what your looking for, and more importantly, due to extensive research I know where to find it.
Yes you are looking for the legendary G SPOT.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
Its a great little app, no install necessary. It identifies the codecs used for audio and video files.
My advice, have a play.. you cant go wrong.
Ahh, thankyou very much.
Looks like its using Dialogic OKI ADPCM which I kinda doubt has mobile support but I'll dig around and see what I can find.
I dont really understand the sytem you have nor what your trying todo with the audio files it produces.. I assume to semi automated retreival/listening to them.
From a quick scan of the codec databases people are having huge problems obtaining this OKI thing for regualr windows. no mention at all of a mobile codec for oki.
Or there is this , which isnt really automated but it will allow you to play and convert the OKI's to a format your ppc can use.
http://sox.sourceforge.net/
As they have the soruce code available, you could spend the summer modding a ppc version ..
Or another option, they have the atariST executables, which you could run on a atari emulator hither. http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=767
Good luck keep us posted.
Thanks for the link.
Your correct, the system automatically attaches their voicemail and emails a copy to them. conversion's not really an option but I might just have to go that route. OKI makes some pretty small wav files (200-250k per min) so thats what makes it great for this application. Im also going to pester the distributor of this voicemail to see if they've tweaked it any for such an application.

For the past week or two, I've been looking into developing an open source project similar to Orb.com where you can stream A/V content to your phone or PDA. There was something similar posted to the Hermes forum by fun_key, but that was unfortunately not true media-on-demand, because it started VLC (www.videolan.org) and then would have the client connect, which would make the client miss the beginning of the media, sometimes a lot depending on connection lag.
The interface of this project would be web-based, again, like Orb. The problem I have run into, however, is the actual streaming. I have looked into using ffmpeg (has compatibility issues), mplayer (can't stream out; uses ffmpeg), and VLC, among others. VLC seems to be the most promising one, but I have some issues with it.
The main issue is due to me trying to make this work with WMP and not CorePlayer/TCPMP because of the video problems that has on the Hermes (and because it would be nice to stream to PCs at university/work without installing stuff on them). I managed to do some test streaming to desktop WMP, but the mobile one just won't work - it seems to be trying to download the entire file before playing it, which is not going to happen because it's huge.
So I am asking for any kind of help or suggestions that any of you might have. Especially if someone here is familiar or has worked with Microsoft's ASF specifications and is willing to help, that would be awesome.
EDIT: Almost forgot -- this project would work on at least Windows and Linux.
Cool! I can't really help you,
but I just wanted to say I very much like the idea!
I've been looking for this since I learned about orb.
I even made a dual boot windows xp install specially for Orb, so when I leave my house, I reboot the PC in WinXP to lbe able to listen to music and watch TV on the go.
A linux alternative would make this unnecessary!!
Please someone who can help, join this project!!
Strange, I thought I was subscribed to this thread, but I didn't get any notification of your post, ksdz...
Anyway, I've pretty much given up on using WMP because have neither the time nor the patience to study and code for the ASF protocol, but I have not given up on the idea itself.
Right now I'm working on another project, but once that's ready, I will most likely return to this. I might as well make use of CorePlayer/TCPMP - in fact I've already figured out how to do the most challenging parts of this. I only wish I had more time to work on personal projects such as this one.
I've searched for a registry setting for my HTC Touch to disable the muting effect of an in-process phone call to enable Media Player to play sound.
I found only one instance of a registry setting... it was to change HKCU-Control Panel-SoundCategories-Attenuation
In this key, I have
0...0x0(0)
1...0x1(1)
2...0x2(2)
I've found one post where it says to change 0...0x0(0) to 0...0x0(1)
When I do this, I get
0...0x1(1)
1...0x1(1)
2...0x2(2)
and I am still unable to play a wav file during a phone call.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
--Yes, I'm trying to get the infamous answering machine to work because my carrier here in China does not have voicemail. This has driven me into the underground obsession of scripting, tweaking, and hacking of my new, wonderful companion...WM6. After 3 months of poking, prodding, reading, buying software (SK Schema, Resco Registry Editor, etc.) I've finally signed up on the board. What a wonderful hobby (now that I've finally backed up a good configuration for myself!!!)
Hi
I've been looking for that tweak for a long time now (see my posts).
The bad news – It looks like nobody knows
The good news – It's possible – works in iSecretary
I think that the difference is the program that plays the wav file. Somehow the one who wrote iSecretary found a way to play wav files without the traditional WM5 ways.
Is there anyone who can help with this? With the powers vested in this forum and the incredible things I've seen here, there must be someone who know hows to pull this off!!!
Hello,
I have an HTC Vogue, and need a fair bit of help, I have continuing medical appointments and have to be early for them, this gives me some free time before my appoinments.
Anyway, I am not very savoy with my PPC, and could use some detailed help please.
I have tried and tried to get videos to play and the best i have been able to do, is divx, but it is choosy about what it will play and then some media plays nice with full sound and others play with no sound, and some just give an error saying incompatable video or sound and wont play at all.
I also like games and have a few that work, but allot of the apps that are supposed to work with the HTC Vogue, have an xml setup file and some other files, but I dont know how to install these.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Uhhhh.......
Alright, I assume you have no problems with the appt input.
For the video player, I recommend CorePlayer, anout $25, purchase from direct website for better price, or check Handango for a deal. Or you could use the OLD version TCPMP, does the same thing, just older and uglier !
For the games, you need to install the .cab file, not open it on your PC. Just put the file on your device, find it in the file explorer, tap on it, and let it do its job.
HTC Vogue
Thank you,
I found a 3rd TCPMP, and it works fine, deleted the other 2 versions that didnt work.
some of the files i have, right clicking even on zip/rar files brings up a menu with CABviaActiveSync. some files install correctly, and others throw an exception.
cant wait till my 2 years is up to ditch this ppc for the new Samsung Omnia, hopfully in 6 months or so, i can upgrade....might wait just a little and do better research to get the best ppc out
Thank you for your reply.
Hey all,
So far, this place has been a fountain of knowledge, which I'm truly grateful for, which makes learning my Herme's fun and easy going.
Since joining here, I've managed to switch my Keyboard from German to English, with thanks for the Advanced Config Tool, get Xvid's working under TCMP something or other, get Pocket MSN running, and a few other things...
But here are a few things which have been grinding my gears (sorry, just watched Family Guy);
A.) How do I change the message received tone and the alarm tones?
B.) How can I switch off the auto suggestions for text messages etc, even though it seems to be off in tools
C.) Is Linux on the Hermes any good / Is it still being developed and supported / would it be worth it me switching to Linux?
D.) Where do you all get your spares from? Preferably excluding Ebay.
E.) If theres anyway to have WMP / the HTC Music player continue playback from last play / track / session? (I.e. If i get off a bus, and have to turn off a track, instead of having to reselect the album i was listening to, for it just to auto-recognise the track being "paused".)
The reasoning behind D, is because although my Hermes is secondhand, not to mention purchased from Ebay, the seller kindly sold me a headphone adaptor, the screen slightly marked, and the camera cover is scratched to hell, not to mention the keyboard seems to be slightly raised in the middle, meaning a segment of keys have been worn down, along with a scuff above the keyboard.
So since I want to try and get it looking fairly decent, I'd like to know where you get your stuff from, and if anyone can recommend me a decent adaptor for headphones when listening to music.
I'm sure I'll have more questions, but for now these will do.
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the good work!
Regarding question D - here are a few suggestions:

Thanks Mike!
Just a shame about my other questions. lol
Hopefully someone will suggest some stuff.

Regarding A,B and C, I'm pretty sure there are existing threads on these. Don't worry overly if the threads are not Hermes specific. As for E I'm not sure that it's possible, but I could well be wrong, especially if you are using a proprietry player.
Mike
PS. Generally rolling up several questions in one post ends up not being very successful (even if at first it seems efficient and space saving. You may need to separate them out.)
Cheers
lol, thanks for the help there Mike.
To be completely honest, i had been searching before doing this post. Most of my little queries had been resolved that way.
Ah well, i'm just going to continue looking.
Thanks once again Mike!
Two more things...
How would I be able to re-install MS Office onto my hermes, since its not currently installed?
Also, are there any games available for it?
Another one...
Hopefully for any music buffs, this will be easy enough.
I currently have a large amount of music in various bitrates, however my main collections are in 320kbps.
Obviously, transfering this data from PC to phone is ok, but takes up loads of unneccessary space.
Does anyone use anything to convert their tunes to a lower bitrate (128kbps approx) while keeping the music in MP3 format so it can be used with Audio Manager, keeping all the original mp3 info (Artist, Track Title, Album etc), or should I cut my losses and move back to crappy itunes using m4a within WMP?
Do a search for the ms office cab file. Just click on it and it will install or look for the single cabs for each thing, depending if you need all the components.
I use SUPER (freeware) to change my bitrate on my MP3's, I don't know if it will take away any of the info but its worth a try as the install file is about 32 Kbs. If it doesn't work then you've lost 10 mins.
Cheers...
I use dBpoweramp music converter, it's also free and easy to use.
Cool, thanks for the advice guys! Just had loads of music as m4a, but then WMP doesn't recognise the names, and you have to constantly open the albums you want, rather than simply selecting the artist within album manager.
Will try those out tonight!

hello all
kinoma Play looks really impressive in this video. http://www.wmexperts.com/next-release-kinoma-play-features-its-own-home-screens
are there any toshiba tg01 rom dumps floating around?
i hope people here are interested in porting this thing to our ''htc devices
This is just the next update ok Kinoma Play, which can be dowloaded on ur HTC.
Just wait few weeks for the update.
It's a good soft indeed.
wow this is very good!
the thing feels like its running on a 3GHZ machine with a geforce 8800
too damn impressive on the tg01
As this software comes bundle with TG01, Toshiba might shared the API for hardware acceleration to Kinoma Team. Remember this is a entire new processor platform (named Snapdragon). This software would never perform like this in ours old MSX7200 processors.
truly impressive
twice as smooth as the iphone with 2.5x the number of pixels so that makes it 5x as immpressive
its hard to tell where the constant 60FPS is comming from. is it from the cool coding tricks or from the CPU specs of the TG01. looks like both
I just love the Toshiba TG01
And Kinoma doesn't seem to be so bad either
Sascha
greatttttttt
I've tried this program, but there are a few hangups that really keep me from using it.
The first one is that it will only "intelligently" scan your device and storage card. There is no option to setup what folders to scan or leave out of a scan. They're only response as a "fix" to this is to put any directory you don't want scanned in the Program Files folder on your device/card. This means I have to redo my entire storage structure to work around their smart scan.
Also, they don't support .avi video files. They say "It's not used for legitimate content distribution" and that "it was always a poorly-defined format with many undocumented mutations that make it a mess to implement and support".
Well, one can argue the legitimacy of certain files, but that's not up to the video player to decide IMO. I have purchased several legitimate programs that convert my DVDs into avi files for mobile playback.
And as far as a mess to implement and support, hell, my very first Casio Cassiopeia supported avi playback with TCPMP. So that's just a cop out as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, the program looks great and has many awesome features, but it just falls short in trying to think too much for me. If I wanted to be a "dumb" user and have a "smart" media player, I'd buy an iPhone.
the new version was just released maybe these issues were sorted out. how about you upgrade and let us know

New version has an advanced option add on that allows you select folders to be scanned. I haven't messed with it as my battery is dead but it sounds like it would help you.
