Spb ToPlay cab file
From here
yes i kow about sbptoplay but that does not control your media player. it gives you another media player. this is a imate plugin that allows you to control your media player from your today screen. allows change of songs and play/plause/stop controls.

It plays my WMP10 playlist so that's close enough for me.
not for me and probably others so here is another option for those that want full functionality.
After re-reading my response I realized that may have come across rude... didn't mean to!
I just meant that I thought it was a WMP plug-in.
its more of a htc plugin for windows media player. no prob

First off, I love the WMP application, awsome awsome appl, I really think that Microsoft will pick up this idea.
My reason for this PM is ask you how I can get my windows live search bar to be transparent. Donations will be in order. Please please please.
I installed it on my Black 2.5 phone, but the plugin doesn't show up under the Today plugins. It doesn't show up under the Remove Programs applet either. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have soft reset immediately after the installation like it prompted me to (should have powered down, then powered up).
Can anyone who got this to work please describe how you installed it, and the OS you're running? Thanks!
im running black 2.5 but dont remember if i soft reset or not. i recently did a reinstall of black 2.5 because i had the lost memory card issue in media player and went to 3des.3 but switched back to black bc u know the saying back on topic. i reinstalled it i belive before the vingular video cab which does a soft reset. try to reinstall the app once more and soft reset afterwords if that doesn't work post again and we'll try to figure it out.
Nope, didn't work - subsequent cab reinstalls didn't even prompt me for a soft reset. I did a shutdown, then restart but that didn't do anything either. Installed it to both SD card and main memory.
i had the same problem when i took the cab out of the extended rom. i then downloaded this cab and it worked. hmm go to this thread and try it from there. who knows maybe itll then work. if not then well keep trying.
Yup, the link in that thread worked - the filesize for the CAB is different though. Thanks for the pointers!
updated firts post with correct cab. thats what u get for trying a few till you find out that works on hermes sorry guys!
It is importnat to note SPB program is 10 times bigger compared to this solution
Hello all,
I recently upgraded my 8525 to the new rom provided by att/cingular (actually it is provided through htc's website, I found the link through cingular) I have some questions and was wondering if anyone can help.
The rom update doesn't give you wm6, it is still 5. It does enable the push to talk feature, and rebrands the phone as att instead of cingular. It also enables "cingular video," which is a streaming video service through att/cingular.
Now with the newer rom there is a horribly loud start up sound. It sounds like an airplane is taking off! Every time I soft reset the phone it plays this loud sound, even if my phone is on silent or on flight mode. This sound was not there before I upgraded the rom. I went into the folder where the sound is stored and tried to delete it, it will not let me. When I right click on it, the delete option is grayed out! The file is just a windows media sound, it is stored under the windows folder, and is named "3G_Up." I even tried to do it through the phone explorer on active sync, still won't let me delete it.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to delete the file or somehow disable the start up sound. I have looked at all settings and don’t see any for start up sound.
I am also wondering this: I assume flashing a cooked rom will eliminate the cingular startup sound. If I flash a cooked rom onto my phone, will I be able to use the “push to talk” and the “cingular video?” Neither of these worked with the original rom. The “cingular video” is just a bookmark, and I tried sending a link from my phone with newer rom to an 8525 with the older rom, and it would not load. On 8525's with older roms when you push the push to talk button, it says "the ptt service is not yet available on your device."
I am assuming I have to choose between a cooked rom with no cingular video and ptt, or just live with the start up sound. If anyone knows any other way, I would just be thrilled
Thanks,
Jon

VRINGO(FULL FEATURED AND STABLE RELEASE)(just 2mb installation)
hello friends,while browsing internet,i came through this software which i suppose is the 1st ever video ringtone application for pocket pc.The most important thing in it is that its totally free.
STEPS TO INSTALL VRINGO
1)JUST REGISTER ON http://www.vringo.com by providing your own mobile number with country code.
2)DOWNLOAD APPLICATION(well the cab is already attached below) from http://mobile.vringo.com.
3)INSTALL it to your desired location,either on storage card or on device memory,but storing on device memory allows faster operation
4)LOGIN once using your account details,then from the third menu(FIND VRINGOS) select any one of the online provided videos to set as your videotone.
5)BUDDIE-LIST-you can also set different video ringtones for different callers by creating a buddie-list and adding your personal contacts.
6)NOW if anyone wants to have their own made videos to be set as videotone,then convert the whole video(max 30 secs) to .3gp format,rename it to pre_vringo & copy it to My device/Application Data/Vringverwrite the previous file & restart the application.
7)REMEMBER-you need to have a working internet connection in order to login to this software,however after logging once,it dont requires it afterwards....try it & enjoy
I guess somebody try this out. Sometimes my phone lags enough as it is if I get a call while streaming music over BT. I probably dont have enough memory for this one a Titan.

Its battery life that concerns me most, and why do i need a video ringtone. While it may be ooo aaaahhh initially it will wear off.
No issues here. Works great!
Thanks for sharing.
Hei, this is nice..looks like my nokia software..last time I used it on my nokia and now I can use it on my ppc also thanks

Diamoond
I just loaded it up on my Diamond and it works great.
great software, very nice, thank you , and good job
Thanx for this app. I've been looking for this app for a long time now! Hey, but I have a doubt. Do I have to have a Internet connection on my mobile for this software to work? Can't I just download the cab file provided here & install it? Do I have to register at vringo.com & login for this to work? Please reply anyone.
thanks
Thanks for the app. I've been looking for someting like this on my phone for a while.
what are people using to to convert there video to 3gp
Hmm.. ok just works, but... it is on small notification bubble that come when u have a call coming is there a way to do a full screen caller view? and..
Is it too hard to ask some skilled guy to do an application like this? i've asked in a far time ago a simple animated gif on a call coming, maybe now it's time to a video ring sorry for my bad english
Chooo
for HD yet??
...i think it is compatible on all ppc with wm6, but on HD it will be so ugly for me.. in vga already look bad

This is what I use for 3gp (I just couldn't get a working 3gp from SuperC)
Just tried it on my i900 and it works for the existing videos but when I attempt to use of my own that I have edited to 30seconds or less (tried 30 and 18) it doesn't pick up the file at all?
I then went to upload file, wondering if I can upload it then download it (just out of curiosity) it was saying file size to large.
Not sure if or where I am going wrong, any advice?
Hi,
At Vringo.com I found a great selection of video ringtones from TV shows, movies, and bands.. It's also a great mobile video sharing site which allows to find and create video ringtones and then share them with our friends.

Hmmm.... Looks like all your contacts have to be registered on Vringo too to get this feature.
If I'm wrong, let me know. I haven't found a way to just add buddies any other way.
you can try it

Hi,
Here it is, the Youtube Panel!
If you want to use it, first you have to install Youtube of zenkinz:
zenkinz said:
I think I may have found the fix. It's a combination of registry plus system files.
If anybody has done his/her research in this area, please share as well.
Otherwise, I will test out further before sharing the fix.
Update 11/12/2008:
Minor update to the CAB, CAB no longer hard code to \Windows directory, but I have not tried if it works on storage card.
The cab file can be found here
Update 26/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB to restore the 8 system files that were overwritten by the original Youtube CAB. This is probably the last resort before having to hard reset to get Youtube working (if you had previously installed Youtube before)
Update 18/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB, if you do not wish to hard-reset your Xperia to install the X1i-Youtube.cab. But let me know if it works for you, because while this patch CAB does correct the problematic registry entries, it does not correct the 8 system files that the original youtube CAB has overwritten.
Update 17/11/2008:
Build a CAB that works fine after I hard reset my phone (after umpteen times of hard reset!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now you install the YouTube.cab!
At least you can choose the Youtube Panel normally in the Panel display.
Nice work.. But I'm having trouble getting to work. Can you specify exactly which files to install and in what order.
The panel loads, it says "opening" at the bottom for a few seconds and then the desktop goes all white. The taskbar and bottom bar are still visible so it's not a system hang or anything. I just think I may have missed to install something.
You have to install first the Youtube file of zenkinz!
You have to instal it on the device not on the storage card.
And you have to change the youtube.409.mui to your countrycode (for example germany = youtube.407.mui).
You find this file in the windows directory!
Then you install the panel and it is running for me!
I hope it works for you, too!
Thanks, works great you´re the man!
The official youtube panel is not far away anyway.
Which official youtube panel?

I think he's taking about the ad:

at 0:45 there's a youtube panel.
Not sure if that proves a youtube panel is in the making though.. Could be just for illustration purposes.
There will almost certainly be an official Youtube Panel soon. Youtube is owned by Google, who own a rival OS, but this hasn't stopped them making apps for other mobile OSs.

False advertising! Since when does the X1 perform THAT smoothly???
Question:
I have the youtube program installed and works great. What does the other youtube.CAB do? just turn it into a panel?
or does it add something worthy by turning it into a panel?
Just asking cuz i dont need to turn it into a panel if the app works just fine.
Thanks btw.

1. It loads the panel > starts the youtube app.
2a. If you close the youtube app, you get a blank panel.
2b. If you hit the X-panel button, the youtube app keeps running and you go to the panel page.
Is there anyway to update the cab so that youtube automatically quits when you change panels?
When i run the panel it's keep white...
I can't find the youtube.409.mui and i don't know the countrycode for france . I've already installed the first cab...
help plz
[EDIT] no its ok now... Work like a charm
Great panel thanks!
Noob question: How do you edit the .mui file ? I tried with ActiveSync but it doesn't let me do it.
YOu only have to rename it! In the windows directory...
Quick question.
The youtube app referenced on post 1 works great, apart from the annoying 1 pixel white border left and bottom on full screen (on the X1).
Does this panel display version fix that?
Freakin Awesome.. Works great!! thanks guys!
xperia youtube panel
heey
i"ve got the same problem with that white screen
and i did first instal the zenkins and then the panel but i can't find where i can chance my countrycode ( netherlands)
I forgot to change the code and installed both .cab files. Youtube panel is working but when I select a video it just stays on the 'connecting' screen after turning to landscape mode.
Is this because I didn't rename that file?
If so, anyone have a dummies guide to changing it to the UK code?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am using Elfin for past 4 months.
Earlier i used to put my own ringtones in folder "/Application Data/Sounds" and they worked.
But for past 1 month, no external ringtone put in "/Application Data/Sounds" is working. whenever i set my ringtone through Settings->Phne->Ring tone, it automatically sets it back to Ring-WindowsMobile.
I tried putting ringtones in /windows folder. but still i can only see those in Settings->Phne->Ring tone list and not able to set it.
somebody please help
------------------------
Whenever i try to open any ".mid", ".amr", ".3gp" or ".mp4" file, Windows media player open and displays error msg
"No Combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
'.mp3' and '.wmv' files play well in Windows media player
somebody please help
------------------------
Hi Kaplesh Patil,
1. Did you install any new softwares in your device after which this issue came.
2. Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties.
3. How do your rip those file. Do you use any specific software to do it.
4. If possible can you attach one of your not working file.
Hi HDR87
1. I keep on installing softwares. so its difficult for me to guess after installing which software this problem has started
2.Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties
???? what do u mean by check, i mean how to check.
3. i usually rip .mp3 ringtones by SoundForge. but what i am saying is all same files used to work fine before. but now they have stopped working.
4. Even built-in (factory) .mid, .amr and .mp4 also not playing with WMP.
5. to aggravate my problem, now even built in ringtones like Ring-WindowsMobile have also stopped ringing
It sounds to me like you have something you installed that is causing conflict. You will have to try to figure out what it was that you installed- Try by trial and error remove an app you installed see if it works and so on. Start with apps that are related to the devices audio capabilities - I have read about several people having problems with SRS WOW application.
Note that if you installed an app that created a Registry change, it is possible that even uninstalling the app may not change the Registry values back to normal and if this is what has caused the problem than only a hard reset would work (unless you can figure out which Registry values you need to change and what you need to change the values to.
Sorry I can't be of much more help; however, if you figure out that it is a registry value change and you figure out which values need to be changed, just let us know which ones and we will check what our values are set at so you can make the changes manually.
@ hotrod101
I am currently exploring my registry... If i figure out the values to be modified, i will share here, so anybody having similar problem might be able to use it

Dude - you shouldn't be hijacking other peoples threads to ask your question. Use the Q&A Section and start your own thread or even better do some searching. This question has been asked before and even made it into the hall of shame.
To answer your question: If you are going to put a song or a long sound to message tone the whole song or tone will keep playing until it reaches it's end. (it's not like ringer wich is instructed to end as soon as you answer the call. Don't use a long tone or song. If you want to use a song, make sure you edit the song to make it just a short clip of it.
