Remote assistance/desktop

Having remote desktop running fine just not enough for me. Im looking for an app or maybe use terminal sevices to remote assistance. just want to be able to use xda as a remote control for my music on the PC
Thought this might have been possible with remote desktop but it just logs me off as soon as i connect through the xda and wont alow mp3s to play cos it cant detect suitable audio devices or sumin like that
There is an application right for you!
Pocket Pc Media Control
[email protected]
This application runs in background of your pc,and using the client like a windows mediaplayer on pocket pc you can control your Windows Mediaplayer remotely with mp3's,divx,etc..!
I find it really great,and it is free.
Regards
wow thanks alot for that working a treat!
Any idea where i can get the software?

Windows Mobile Media Player problem...

Hi All,
I have recently been getting an error message in Windows Mobile Media Player (Windows Media Player) on my XDA Mini S saying;
"No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
And i cant seem to figure out why. I cannot play any videos or sound clips on my mobile, and i cannot find an alternative way to view video or sound files on my XDA.
Is there any chance anyone knows where i can download a new versionof Windows media player for my Windows mobile 5 device? or does anybody have any resolution for this?
Thanks for your time
I do not think there is a newer version to this problem but I was recently having trouble with WMP and I downloaded Pocket Player and have really liked it.
Doesn't seem to have that many bugs, has a today plugin (if wanted), is quite easy to use - maybe give it a try!
Where did you download Pocket Player from? and was it free etc... because i have searched on www.pocketgear.com and it is $19.99
To be honest, i really wasnt planning on paying for a Media player, however, if i cannot get the media player on my phone fixed, i will have no choice!
Thanks
Have you tried cold booting? Or TCPMP?
Yes PocketPlayer does cost you; I understand not wanting to pay for a media player especially since one that is supposed to work comes with the phone - i just couldn't deal with WMP.
Try TCPMC - its free and it may not have all the organizational features of WMP, but does play DivX files

Vista Sideshow Media Center remote control on Blackstone

Hi,
Just wondered if anybody has managed to get the Microsoft Vista Sideshow Media Remote Control working over bluetooth on this phone? I keep getting an error whenever I try to access my Music or Recorded TV using the Blackstone which crashes Sideshow on my phone. It seemed to work fine on my Kaiser device I was using before. I realise sideshow for windows mobile is still beta but it would be intresting to know if other people are having the same problem?
Its a shame that it doesn't work yet as it would make an awesome way to control the media center without having any need for a remote.
Also I was wondering if anybody knows of any X10 home automation control software that works with the Marmitek CM15 Pro attached to my media PC in development? It would be great if there was a Vista Sideshow gadget that was working so I could control my lighting and media through one piece of software on the device if the bugs get ironed out?
Thanks
Ben
got the same error, i think, whenever i try to access my media library the app quits with an IndexOutOfRangeException. which is a real shame as this looks like a great idea.

control media player from win mobile

Hi just wondering if there's a decent app like the iphone has that controls your laptop windows media player via you mobile device? The iphone one lets you browse tracks too.
Would be really cool if there was.
Cheers
For anyone that doesn't know this seems to do it pretty good:

Windows Media Center in Windows 10

Just wondering if there is any interest/possibility of developing a method of running WMC in Windows 10. There really is no alternative for a total media center package that DVRs copy-protected content from a Cable-Card tuner.
There was some interest in it on MyDigitalLife forum (http://forums.mydigitallife.info/th...on-Windows-10-final-amp-possible-alternatives), but that seems to have fizzled.
Waiting and hoping and NOT upgrading to 10 unless there is a solution.
Thanks!
Mike
I am also very interested in this myself. Build of Windows 10 by build of Windows 10, I have been capturing the packages for Windows Media Center with "Aunty Mel's Cheap And Nasty SxS Package Extractor" into cab files, now if I try to run these using the Dism.exe tool, it gives me a version mismatch error that wont allow me to install them.
Now is there a way to force or HACK these packages to be installed on current builds ? If so, we might just need the eshell.exe patched to skip the kernel check and we should be able to get it running. The otherside of it is, guide data, Playready and the other components for WMC, the old Media player is in Windows 10, so the media libraries in WMC should work fine.
If you think you MIGHT be able to do it or want to try and would like access to one of these that I captured, hit me up via PM and I will share a folder so you can access it. I don't want to publicly post them due to MS possible reading this forum.
Any thoughts that could actually make this happen ?
I don't have any hacking skills, but I'd definitely be very interested.

never mind. misread
Agreed
I too would love to see a solution for this. I use WMC for linking my Xbox and other streaming devices to my computer, and it's also a great media player. I know there was an upgrade for windows 8 and 8.1 that was a separate package that allowed users to install Windows Media Center after installing windows, as it didn't come with it by default. It installed like a regular program, and WMC was up and running after a restart. Maybe they'll have an update like this for Windows 10?
Though upon its initial release, here's what Microsoft had to say on the matter:
quoted from here as well as other microsoft official sites...
"A number of commenters are reporting that the Windows 10 upgrade tool does warn you that you're about to lose Windows Media Center. Microsoft doesn't exactly hide the fact that Windows 10 forcibly deprecates Media Center, but the information isn't in the most obvious of locations either. If you visit the Windows 10 upgrade website, and then click the "Windows 10 specifications" link in the small print at the bottom of the page, there's a big list of deprecated features. Media Center is the main one, but you'll be dismayed to hear that Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts have also been removed. Now, the good news: if your computer had Media Center before the upgrade (most versions of Windows 7, or Windows 8/8.1 with Media Center), you will be credited with a free copy of Windows DVD Player. In practice, this means that most people upgrading from Windows 7 will have access to the Windows DVD Player app for free, while most Windows 8 upgraders won't. Likewise, if you bought a full Windows 10 Home or Pro licence, or a new Windows 10 computer, you won't be eligible to download the DVD Player app for free."
So basically, the WMC replacement costs $15 and ONLY plays DVDs. And unless you're upgrading from a previous version of windows that had WMC on it, you have to pay the $15 for the DVD Player app (It's FREE and included otherwise). I personally have nothing good to say about the DVD app, it's bland and useless compared to other DVD player applications with more features and a smaller pricetag.
Bring back Media Center!!
Looks like over at MDL they got it running, No live TV or recorded shows yet but, they got WMC running on Windows 10, it's a step in the right direction....

Nice! I will be very happy if they figure this out.
I would love an option to stream content from my Win10 PC to my XBOX 360. I had done this with Wun7/Win8, but WMC was getting so tough to work with that I stopped using it. When it worked I loved it, but I had so many issues with WMC on Win8 that I am not sure it can be a reliable tool on Win10.

I had WMC on Win 8 and the store is trying to charge me the 15 bucks
Doubt these will amount to much since interest seems pretty low, but who knows?
Doesn't hurt to "sign" them, anyhow.

We're talking about Media Center, not Player. Media Player already comes with Windows 10 and doesn't have to be installed. It's just not the default app for opening media any more.
MDL forum got it working: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/th...n-Windows-10-final-amp-possible-alternatives/
Someone posted a thread here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/development/windows-media-center-rtm-10532-t3196076

Not sure if you guys have seen this or tested it. I have not personally test the solution yet.

That's the same hack the_scotsman posted. Works quite well from my experience.
