My WMP in WM6 does not do that automatically I have to swith to landscape then play the film in full screen.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi All,..
I've just bought the MDA Pro from T-Mobile, and am amazed about the Screen resolution. I only can't set the Screen when playing streaming video (news etc) to Full screen. I have set the option "adjust screen size" but this won't help.
Does someone had an solution for me?
Best regards,..

Imate aknowledge this as a problem on their website but it's still njot fixed int he latest rom. Irritaing. I just use CoreMediaPlayer to play my WMV's instead (and my mpg,s and my divx's etc etc)
Core Media Player rocks. I wouldn't waste time with anything else!
re
I should stop reading but it's like an addiction lol. I keep getting confused ?
Core media players is for Desktop PCs with windows XP etc isn't it ?
do they make a WM5 or pocket pc version and if so where can u download it ?
I use betaplayer for WM5, works great with everything i've tried so far.
Cheers, Numb
betaplayer is called betaplayer no more now it's called
The Core Pocket Media Player

Hi all
I have the exec .The solution to the small screen seems to be ,Use media player 9.
Does any 1 know where I can download wm9 from .I tried microsoft but only wm 10 is listed.
Does any 1 know how to uninstall wm 10 and load wm9 on the exec.
_^.^_
1. Use TCPMP in the interim, its free and does more
2. We are all eagerly anticipating that the next rom update should fix this

then perhaps if this is what you wanted, you should be more specific in your headings, and your request for information, this was not stated.

Thats about all I can find, and I dont stream videos, if I have a PC, I would rather watch it on that anyday. I use a laptop so portability in that area isnt a problem anyway.
On all my other XDAs I could view videos in complete full mode.
I have tried all I can to find out how my exec will play a movie in full and it won't.
It just blacks out the rest of the screen and plays a tiny little video in letterbox shape.
This is so so so annoying and i would love to find out if anyone can help.
I haven't seen anything on here about it - search returns nil.
Is anyone able to play Full Screen????
Help me.
Use a freeware player like TCPMP. WMP doesn't support full-screen playback, its a problem with the OS itself.
So this is a bug isolated to WM5/WMP10 only? WMP9 doesn't have any problems on WM 2003.
This problem is request and know in i-mate web... Looking for solutions.
Worked on wm9
Yeah I agree, on my old XDA ii and XDA iis it worked fine. must be a wm10 or wmb5 thing.
With that in mind, is there a way to put windows media 9 on my pda?
Also on another subject, i just did the latest upgrade ofrom from o2's site and my phone keeps crashing and has the following errors:
* when I go back to the today screen, the last window is still showing on the icon left hand side of the screen, therefore stopping me from selecting things.
* My e-mail accounts keep disapearing although the name of them still shows in the selection option in the today screen. This used to happen all the time before the upgrade and now it is worse. Usually deletes the account after a soft reset or crash. annoying thing is you can't name a new account with the previous name as it is still stored in the memory somewhere but you can't find it in the e-mail program.
* when i did my upgrade, I copied everything across from the pda (drag and drop) so that I could re-insert the message files to keep my sms's, although it just copied empty folders. Are all the files locked or restricted or did I need to perform the drag and drop by files and not folders?
I seem to have a love and hate relationship with my pda. Although, the best thing about wmb5 is the memory, no more lost data when your battery dies. They are getting closer to laptop functionality and I can't wait to see what the next version has to offer.
* and finally, it is slower than ever.
Hi all

Windows Media player full screen
Hi,
Samething is missing.
I have a Xda Universal and a Xda Atom.
Last Rom in both.
Running ORB (www.orb.com) on home PC.
Xda Universal connect via Wifi steam via orb cannot get full screen.
Xda Atom same connection same programs install via Wifi I can get full screen in Windows Media Player. Both systems WM5.
Why can´t I see full screen in Universal?
Regards
JoseF
I don't know how it say it nicely (but I mean no disrespect) but the point needs to be made: Trying to use WMP for video playback is so worthless (compared to using TCPMP) that it is rediculous to spend time and effort in regards to the video play back in WMP not being full screen. If you're not the kind of person who would be willing to try the free TCPMP (soon to be BetaPlayer or pay version CorePlayer) then there's no reason to be on these forums.
Hi . I usually use TCPMP
The point is that it you can see in full screen in WMP in WM5
The question is why you can see in the Atom but not in the Universal
If you see the topic is
"Windows Media won't go full screen"
The question is not using TCPMP
JoseF
Agree with JoseF.
Sometimes you just need wmp10 to do the job, like wmv streaming. I'm not sure TCPMP support that.
But of course wmp10 can go full screen if the original video size is bigger than 640x480.
I find that WMP gives better sound quality (and slightly more volume) than TCPMP when listening through headphones.
Good as TCPMP is, if WMP would play videos properly I would uninstall TCPMP and use the space for something else instead. Is anyone looking at a hack to get WMP working properly?

In other words WMP is working fine with videos over 640x480 - thats good news - will try it later.

Hi,
Is there a possibility to have the WM5 Windows Media Player 10 Mobile play videos in true VGA fullscreen?
Currently the "full screen mode" shows a QVGA image, which results in a tiny display on the four times larger VGA screen.
Ofcourse there are players like TCPMP, which is a great solution to offline content, but when I want to stream Windows Media Video, it always opens in de Media Player.
The WMPM 10.3 in Crossbow fixes this, but is this also possible in WM5?
you cant run windows mobile 5.0 in full screen for some files. it wasnt made for vga. Just blame Micro$oft.
What are the player to play my AVI as i notice that it cant play my avi on wmp.
i use this - http://www.coreplayer.com/
however its commercial software.
im sure someone else would be able to recommend an alternative that is free.
Personally tried core player,it dropped frames. Played a Music video of 640*352 rsolution,24fps,.xvid encoded avi file,the result of first 45 seconds are like this-Played frame-25,Dropped frame-999. So how is that? I used the 1.30 version though,no idea about the latest version. I am selling it as soon as the Omnia Hd or Omnia 2 releases. I can't live without watching movies/videos on the go,so I need something where I will get the .divx and .xvid support out of the box.
Thanks.
I think it's a shame that CorePlayer don't do a demo since more than most software, you need to trial it before you know whether it will play your videos on your device, and no reviews or screenshots will ever tell you that.
Core media player (1.25) played a 23 fps 640*352 xvid (.avi) video file encoded at 133Kbps (about 90 minutes fo video in 700MB). This was downloaded as a "for PC" file and played like a dream.

I found that divx has a mobile player and it seems to work great for avi and divx files. I tried installing both coreplayer and the freeware version TCPMP player and both crashed when I tried to run. If anyone knows of a fix to either of them crashing please inform.
Heres the link to Divx mobile. http://www.divx.com/mobile/
Hi all. I'm using core player and haven't had any problems - vid playback is good. I did use the divx player for a while but somehow preferred core player. One thing I dislike about them both is the lack of finger friendly controls - always need the stylus sooner or later.
I'm also using Core player and it works absolutely fine for me...But I found that there are no controls and seek bar when in full screen landscape mode. As soon as I touch the screen, it goes to portrait mode. So to move the movie forward or backward, it has always to be done only in portrait mode.
Is this a normal behavior, or there is some bug in mine?
Core player alternative needed
Core player plays everything fine for me, but it is very non-intuitive. Making playlists in the old version, TCPMP, was as simple as selecting, etc. I have not seen this ease of use in the new version. The lack of any good documentation does not help either.
It may be that I just have not figured this piece of software out, but the new version takes the ipod and Windows media player approach. This approach requires that it must know where all your files are all the time and be updated each time you add new media, then you are willing to spend a lot of time setting up playlists. I wife bought it and never uses it because it is a pain in the a$$. It seems to have a learning mode, but this is really annoyong when you know what you want. I am not willing to spend the time required for setting up playlists in the required manner before getting in the car or going for a run.
A simple program like the old TCPMP would be greatly appreciated. They had a winner before.
MPlayer is not yet ready for prime time, but shows promise.
Any Player that supports subtitles?

Well, I have the same issue. Whether we're calling this a bug , or normal behaviour is maybe up for debate, but in the real world its pretty annoying.
What I really want is a media player that intuitively knows when to play in landscape mode, can browse files easily and has finger friendly controls ... and if it's free, that's fine too

CorePlayer works in landscape for me. When I rotate the phone, it updates to match portrait or landscape.
I think I had to force it to do this with G-Config.

Hi
There is a version of TCMP (search this forum) wich support srt subtitles.
I also use Coreplayer but I must say that if the user interface is better with Coreplayer, TCMP play the same avi files (standard 700 mb divx) much better than Coreplayer.
I think Coreplayer need more fine tuning to work right.
