I have several video clips on my SD card that play in full screen on my xda2i but wont fill the screen in WMPlayer on my exec, is there a solution for this or is it a problem with the Media player that comes as standard in the exec? also if i shoot a video clip on my exec that wont fill the screen either, ive messed around with all the different settings but cannot find a solution Please help.
I too find this very annoying.
Please let me know if you figure it out..
It is a known issue with universal and there is no fix yet, hopeing to get it in next ROM Update.... everyone is using TMPEG Player to play those videos which works much better on videos than WM.

Does it work on your device? Did you actually try the Real player on Universal before answering?
Is it possible that I am the only one that needs this? :?

Thanks for the help, but it was a bit insulting... or at least I got it like that (I may be wrong)...
i'd also like to know this
The only way that i managed to get the real player doing streaming video over my wifi on my exec was to run a free rstp proxy (ccproxy) on my pc and then it worked.
RTSP over 3gp
Does anyone have the "HTC Streaming Media" version 2.1 for Universal? I tried to install the Hermes "HTC Streaming Media" version 2.1 into Universal but fails.
Thanks for help.

which version are you do you mean v1 or v2???
i have v2 with me but never tried it....
if you want it i could send it to you....
btw isnt it supported by tcpmp???
The streaming media app doesn't support Real (tm) streams from what I've tried, but it does stream 3gp. I've extracted it from the Cheetah. Once I have the bugs worked out for a cab install I'll make it available.
Question: are there any good 3gp streaming sites? I had a hard time trying to find any by doing a google search.
I'll jump in the boat..
I've been looking forever for a decent RTSP player...
and i've tried real player and a whole heap of other crap to no avail still.

Hi, I was wondering if you had worked out the bugs in that Streaming Media cab file as I'd like to stream some TV clips via Vodafone Live.

Have you read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=344&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ?
<bump> Does anyone have the "Streaming Media" application?
I found it lurking in a TyTN ROM bundled with the camera application but when I attempted an installation it ended up stuffing up the camera application and the streaming media application didn't work either.
Any solutions here?
Is the best media player CorePlayer for the PocketPC? I want to ask everyone before going out and spending the whopping $20.
I just want one solution, the best solution, so I don't have to revisit this again and have something that will play both my audio and video file types.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The best may be the freeware version of CorePlayer, TCPMP
Would anyone have the link to TCPMP? I tried Google'ing but kept running into dead links.
Never mind, found it.
What about here?

EDIT: Damn, it didn't work either...
Try this:

Thanks. I eventually found it but didn't like it so sprung for the CorePlayer. All is well now.

Why not install both TCPMP and Coreplayer? That way you also get AC3 support through TCPMP if ever you need it.
I get an error with TCPMP with AC-3 audio - am I missing a setting somewhere to enable it?
Error: Player: Audio codec (AC-3) not supported by the player!
ver 0.72RC1

You need the AC3 codec (I don't know where from though, try the forums at corecodec). However, if you install Coreplayer (the retail version of TCMP) then this codec is installed automatically.
I don't know if coreplayer has to be activated in order for the codec to work though.
No, it's not. Maybe you are thinking of AAC but AC3 is definitely not in Coreplayer. There was a huge discussion on their forum along the lines that you don't need AC3 because there is no PDA with 5 speakers and it would increase the price for coreplayer unnecessary because of the license fees they would have to pay to Dolby. Anyway, they might release it as an additional plugin later. The current plugin for TCPMP is a grey area legally speaking. Get it as long as you can still download it somewhere ...
Is there another player that can cope with pausing automatically during an incoming phone call/voice command.
I tried tcpmp an it kept playing across calls, which is a bit annoying when you've got the phone set on autoanswer..
Built in media player does work like this, but that's the only thing I can think to say that's positive about it..

Yep I found a link to it after I'd posted, the demo seems to be working pretty well so far. Will see how I get on and buy it if it works properly.
Pocket Player
Well even though it seems quite a bit flakey, Pocket Player. It works with Bluetooth headsets, well at least my Sony Ericson, if you want quality FLAC file playback this seems fine and a very good way to fill a 8GB microdrive ;-)
Playback with a proper stereo headset is good as long as the charger is not attached - which is noisy. As this pda can access usb drives, it could form the basis of a funky hi-fi systems if you use FLAC files and spend some money on a better power supply, oh and get hacking the device to find the direct digital outlet to pump to an external dac. Actually I've not tried connecting it via it's usb output - has anybody else? Not use this would work though.

Is there any steaming media player can support 320x240 h.264 format?
Can anyone share the cab installed file of steaming media player?
Thank you very much!
Have you tried CorePlayer? Personally not tested it's streaming features but by far, the best media player out there..
I've tried coreplayer V1.25, but my mobile phone hanged....
diamond? works on mine perfectly with h264 streamsfrom the web. just lags a little and the resolution is different tho.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself. The term you are referring to is called 'stReaming', and not 'steaming', which brings a whole new meaning to the phrase...
lol no wonder it looked awkward, reminds me of the iSteamy app on jailbreak iPhones!

Hi, I am using diamond too, you're using coreplayer to play h.264 streaming video? I used coreplayer to play that, but after I pressed the "play", the mobile will freeze on the screen.

sorry, it's only a typing mistake
After trying and failing to get xvid and divx codec movies to reliably play on Coreplayer or TCPMP, I decided to find a good converter, and used WinMenc to convert the files to .mp4 x264 format so I can play it natively on the device using the Windows Media Player built in, HOWEVER the Media Player looks like it;s going to load the videos, i.e. showed 'Loading...' with the white circle, but then it never moves on. The device is not crashed, as I can just exit out, but the movies will not play even in a format that the HD2 recognises. This is really annoying the hell out of me now, as all I want to do is play video on my phone, not really asking a great deal.
Has anyone got any advice for fixing this problem with Media Player 'getting stuck'? Cheers
Any ideas? Can WMP even be reinstalled or repaired? Seems a bit strange for an app native to the device to just not work.
what settings did you use for the encoding?
also, see kr00t0n's profile for winMenc, its the best soloution ive found IMHO
did u try this?

Yeah I'm using his HD2 profile buddy, saved as an .ini.
I think it's WMP to be honest, as it does the same on any .mp4. Currently, I can only get a very small number of films to run through TCPMP, but I can't identify what's causing them to work/not work. But WMP does not work at all!
I'm wondering if a hard reset might work on it. I'm getting seriously fed up with my HD2 though, far too many things wrong with it. I'm starting to think about flogging it now.

I converted a few films with a crappy free verison of some software can't remember the name tho. So far all have worked on all the media players I have used WMP, TCPMP and Core player. Are you on a custom ROM? Not sure if certain ROMS may have bugs in causing this.

I've used the normal HTC ROM and Artemis ROM, happens on both. I've tried all sorts of conversion software. Nothing ever seems to reliably play.
