OK so I was just able to play an embedded flash video from a website inside PIE. It’s wasn’t the smoothest but still served the purpose (audio was fine).
Anyone else get this to work?
It works just like it would on the pc.
Possible relevant installs/hacks:
IE 6.1
Flash Video Bundle

Hi,
I tried to listen to the footy on the weekend thru my wifi connection and the net at home but when i went to the AFL website it said it cannot be displayed properly as i either dont have the updated flash player or i dont have java enabled. How do i do either of these?
This is how i intend to get around the fact it doesnt have an fm radio.
Can anyone help with this?
thanks
Just install the Flash Player
Your problem is however more java related IMO. IE Mobile doesn't fully support java script
Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
I've got an annoying problem that I don't know how to fix.
I have a script that uses handbrake to encode videos for me and spits them out as a .mp4 file. I used to view these from a local open web directory so I could stream them while I was in the bath or in the kitchen or having a dump or whenever I wasn't in front of my TV.
They work on my iPhone, iPod touch and on the various Android things I put on my HD2. How can it work on a flashed WinMo phone and not on a proper Android device?
What's frustrating is that they work when I transfer them over using Astro or downloading them in the browser. I assume it would work if I put them on a memory stick but all of these solutions take more time.
I was thinking I should root the Tab and put a custom Android on it, but is there anything else I can do without re-encoding a bunch of files?
What exactly is the problem? How are you trying to stream them?
I have an open web directory which is basically just a list of .mp4 files. I open the browser and point it to my site, 192.168.1.3/movies, and then click on whatever I want to watch.
Then usually it gives me an option of what app I want to play it in and I usually just pick the default video player.
This doesn't work on the Tab where it does on my other devices (Android and iOS).
So the problem is that its not giving you an option to pick which app to open the .mp4 with?
Maybe you dont have any other apps that can play the file?-
It does give me an option, it just refuses to play saying that the type is not supported. I've tried the built in video player, rockplayer, meridian. I've also tried it on a file manager like Astro.
The files just refuses to play like they do on my hacked HD2 and iPhone.
Are you trying to emulate this like the AllShare program? Cant seem to get this to work too on the network media
I don't know what AllShare is unfortunately. Did it work on a previous device?
Allshare is sammys DLNA client. Its pretty good for small folders on a LAN server. But it doesn't understand headers very well. Search is your friend.
Someone pointed me in the right direction on another board.
Another Forum said:
OK, figured it out. The problem is that most MPEG4/QuickTime muxers append a critical piece of metadata to the end of the file and it needs to be moved to the beginning to allow streaming/progressive downloading in the Android media player (it's not a Samsung-specific problem).
If you already have a bunch of non-streaming-compatible MP4 files, there's a tool that comes with ffmpeg called qt-faststart that rewrites them (without reencoding) in a compatible fashion.
Also, it looks like Handbrake 0.9.2 and up have an option for producing "Web optimized" MPEG-4 files, which if you enable should fix future videos.

First I know this is not an issue if I install Android. However my android build booted up only once and not again and also messed my WMo so I'm not going that route (at least for now) till Android on NAND is a possibility (or even WP7?).
I have some MP4 files that are just large (1024x560). Coreplayer handle normal MP4 files just fine (like the Transformer movies) but can't play the large MP4 files. It complains H.264 codec not found but I believe Coreplayer supports H.264 natively. Here comes the question:
1. Is there anyway to go around the software limitation? I tried the same files on my wife's vibrant and they play just fine so hardware-wise, HD2 is capable to handle the playback.
2. If Coreplayer's software limitation cannot be circumvented, is there another media player for windows mobile 6.5 that can handle this situation?
Thank you for your input!
Well after some searching and research, here is what I have found:
1. The software limit for coreplayer is built in stone, and cannot be circumvented. Also the developers have seemingly stopped the development of that software package.
2. The best replacement I found is this (TCPMP):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5685536
It seems to be a little slower than coreplayer when playing transformers on my HD2, which suggests coreplayer actually does get some kind of hardware acceleration. It doesn't matter that much as (1) I won't use the phone to watch those movies (I have BD discs for both) (2) it still doesn't fix my original problem.
Any recommendation for other video player for WM6.5? I tried VLC (program doesn't start) and mplayer (can't browse file) so those are pretty useless.
CoreAVC supports QuadHD... so the limitation was us limiting the resolution for performance purposes. We removed the limitation in CorePlayer 2.0 as many devices can now handle the resolution without issues.
From what I can gather, coreplayer 2.0 is not released yet, and there is no plan to develop that for Windows Mobile 6.5 as the platform is officially dead.
Is that correct?
I think I have found the answer: android + rockplayer
I know this has been a bit of a problem, but I've finally managed to piece together a decent method to stream things wirelessly from another computer on the network via UPnP (DLNA).
Unfortunately it's meant I've had to pay for some software - but it's software I used the free version of on a daily basis and in my opinion worth it!
Back when I had Windows Vista I used the built-in media sharing and it worked great sharing stuff to my xbox360/ps3.
Moving to Windows 7 the built in sharing has never really worked properly and I haven't been able to get it going properly. Instead I moved to TVersity which actually is a bit better as it supports built-in transcoding etc.
I discovered that the "Pro" (read: Paid-for) version of TVersity supports streaming to iPhone/iPad via a built-in web interface - so I figured, why not try it on the Desire HD.
In fact it works very, very well indeed. All you need is an app on the phone that can play the media types such as DivX and AVI.
Initially I tried VPlayer Beta, which worked quite well, but the interface is a bit confusing and it doesn't seem to be able to play MPEG files correctly.
Yesterday, however, Rockplayer was upgraded to 1.5.0 (and now 1.5.1) changing it to "Rockplayer Universal" - and this works absolutely perfectly with everything I've tried so far. It's very fast too!
So all I do is load the web interface for TVersity that is loaded on my PC and click the file I want to watch and it starts streaming almost instantly.
I am a very pleased boy!
Great news , it's very unfortunate indeed that htc provided players do not support avi, xvid and vidx, or there is no integration when it come to windows media servers .
why having dlna if you cannot see videos, I have similar case I hope htc will solve this issue. but i am not going to put an extra penny on technology .

Install Gmote on the pc and Rockplayer or Vplayer on phone. Works perfectly for streaming avi. xvid from your PC. I even got it to work over 3g by port forwarding on my firewall.
