YouTube Pocket

Hey Everyone!
I have just developed my first site for the PPC / WinMo / Smartphone devices and wanted to get some feedback from the developers. It's called YouTube Pocket. It is basically a pocket portal for YouTube that uses TCPMP and the FLV Plugin to stream live YouTube videos to your device. It can be found here:
http://ytpocket.ath.cx
I have come here for 2 things:
1) Advice / Suggestions / Comments on this site.
2) Help with my link structure. I am rather new coding with WinMo so I am having a small problem:
My current system involves me using the MMS Protocol and TCPMP. When the links are clicked it has a prompt warnign that this could be unsafe. This is a huge hastle over time, so I am trying to find a fix. I have tried using the ASX/PLV/M3U solution, and it works, but I end up with these issues:
1) If I name the asx/plv/m3u a fixed name (default.m3u) then apon the second load it prompts me with an error stating the file already exists and asks if I want to replace it because WiMo is saving the file to 'My Documents'.
2) If I give it a dynaicname (ie SONGIDNUMBER.m3u), then I have no prompts (unless loading a video more then once) but I am flooding 'My Documents' with useless m3u files.
Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
-Anthony

Wow, YouTube developers are popping up everywhere

Hey,
I wasn't really completelly happy with the solutions at hand, so I decided to take things my own way. Thats what great about an open market, everyone can write their own things their own way.

I tried here and it returns
"Cannot perform requested action at this time"
This is over the WiFi connection so speed shouldn't be a problem.

Same problem as above, reason being = Windows Media Player gets launched instead of TCPMP with latest Youtube plugin or perhaps HTC Media Streaming.
If I go simply to youtube.com and click video (in PIE), TCPMP automatically is launched and with the help of Youtube plugin the video gets streamed and played back.
The good thing about your youtube pocket site is that it is light in size and is quicker to browse than the youtube.com site.

Works fine here. Very cool. Make sure you have the mms file checked in tcpmps file association.

liquidsilver & EazyVG: Make sure to follow this step under 'Getting started':
You must then select 'MMS Protocol' under 'Settings->File Associations' inside of TCPMP.
Now go to 'Settings->Advanced' and set 'Manual A/V offset +/-' to '-400'

bookmarked your site in my PIE

thats pretty nice
thanks

invalid file format
I did everything said to do for the site and the download but it said it cant read the file format for any of the youtube videos, i tried clicking other formats but it still doesnt work. can anyone help?

dresplace: Does TCPMP open and give that error or does Windows media Player? Also, did you install the plugin and select 'MMS Protocol' and 'Flash Video'. Also, there is a flaw with the FLV Codec that I was just made aware of, it has to be installed to the device, meaning TCPMP does too. If you installed them to the card try to device and see if that helps.

thanx for your help

Yes TCPMP opens and gives the error message not WMP. and yes i installed the plugin and selected MMS Protocol but i cant for mylife find the Flash VIdeo option in there to click so no i didnt click that option.. OO and yes i installed it to the card not device i will try that and see what happens

If you do want to use it on the card, it can be done, what you need to do is use 'File Explorer' to go to 'Device->Program Files->TCPMP' and move the 2 files in there to 'Card->Program Files->TCPMP' and soft reset and it should work. If I know how to write cabs I would probably try to fix that one, but I don't x.x

My bad
Indeed I needed to enable MMS in File Association under TCPMP .... now it is working nicely.
Excellent .... as stated previously bu me, your site is fast compared to it's parent site. Perhaps you can come up with a better and easier domain name for your site. BTW, keep it going

Worked Very Well
I just browsed to the http site offered and i downloaded the tcpmp player with the plugin, reset and voila it works as charm. thanks so much.

GREAT
Just Got It Fixed And Its Working Great With No Lag Wonderful Program I Love It

Why is my video out of sync with the voices?

It works well but I am still having issues trying to move the files over to my SD card. You said two files but don't they install into the same TCMCP folder?

mxp: Album Art

I've recently started using my phone for music (slow, rite?) and have synchronised some of my albums from windows media player (PC) to my memory card. They all have album art, and on PocketWMP the cover arts show, but on the MXP they dont. I mean, some of them do, something like, 2 out of 30, but thats it.
I did happen to notice the default tracks provided on the phone showed the cover arts. Am I doing it wrong? Why do these cover arts show everywhere except for on the MXP album art displayer?
Btw, im using R2AA MXP, i dont like R3AA one.

All works!​

It works for some of my albums, just not most of them.

Use mp3tag application to add album art : )

I have same problem ....
All files syncro from PC hads its own cover art , but main panel shows only 5 % of cover art .
I have purchased pocket player , grate for streaming audio ( Tunner2 ACC+ ) , also for ape , ogg , acc ....
but I have same problem like main media panel .
so mp3tag its a mobile util or pc one ?
Can you tag other files than mp3 ? , like mp4, m4a , its the most I use .

Send me a link to download a set of your mp3's... I'll see what's wrong with your mp3 tagging skills, I'll find the root of the problem, and I'll teach you how to tag properly .
And yes MXP is slow.

http://www.cduniverse.com/default.asp?cart=832989606 use that link copy album art in your windows media library then sync your phone. it works for me

http://www.cduniverse.com/default.asp?cart=832989606 use that link copy album art in your windows media library then sync your phone. it works for me. Hence you will find most album covers on that link

All of my album art always show on MXP, on Pocket Player, and on WMP.

That free piece of software is a miracle for tag audio files
I did it manually and it worked grate , now , MXP , windows media player and pocket player displays correctly , cover art on mp3 , m4a .
THx a lot for information .
http://www.mp3tag.de

Can I do the same with video files ? ( mp4 )
I can see that xperia recorded videos are display correctly , I mean on , thumbnail image on MXP .
Wich software can help ?

I found an important point for me, the cover has to be changed to "front cover" if it's not in the mp3tag, some covers weren't assigned as a "front cover" and now I changed it and the covers are there.
I have the problem I don't know how to change all my covers on the PC to "front cover"? Anybody an idea with mp3tag, I can only change 1 album with the same cover picture at the time...

I figured out the problem I was having; when using WMP to syncronise my CDs, it auto-tags the tracks from the CD when putting them on my PC, with the data it gets from the net, so on the PC it's tagged. But all it does is create an image file in the folder that the tracks share - WMP logically picks that up. When you syncronise the tracks with your phone, it doesnt sync the album art... but...
If you manaully then tag your tracks, you will see that there actually isnt any album art tagged to the track, but if you tag it with the album art, syncing the track also syncs the image. I would imagine that im actually wrong and that the image actually always does get sync'd because WMP was picking it up on the device, but maybe the MXP doesnt pick up folder art, and only track art.

What's the format of your music files. The Sense Music Player only plays MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA.

Maybe you should soft-reset your device so the music player can re-index the library.

Maybe you can try to delete the file \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol
Don't know, just something you might try.

Just a question: did you try waiting for a couple of minutes? It's possible that your mp3 collection is very large and the program needs some time to collect them all. (I think the loading is indicadet by a revolving circle, but that could also be just for album art.)
If this doesn't help then I'm out of ideas^^.

i cancelled all the songs except 2...and the problem was still there.
the solution is in the "AudioManager_Eng.vol" file.
thank you

Glad you solved it.
I'm wondering what might have caused this. It seems that there was no auto-update of the "AudioManager_Eng.vol" file on your device. Now that is precisely what i'm looking for!
Did you change something in the registry before this happened?

maybe something that i've installed....i don't know. or i made a mistake creating a playlist....
i don't have other players installed as core player or similar

I sometimes get a blank Music tab after being connected via Disk Transfer. I connect and disconnect via USB (in disk transfer mode) several times during the day whilst at work. When I leave at the end of the day, I sometimes find the Music tab is empty. I am advised that the files in the playlist (that I was listening to on the way into work that morning) no longer exist. If I rotate the Leo to the left whilst in Now Playing view, I am then told "No Music Found". Even after giving the phone half an hour to think about it, I am still left with no music. Deleting the AudioManager_eng.vol file immediately resolves the blank Music tab issue, causing the library to rebuild. It takes a minute or so to populate all the albums and artist data. But then it's fine.
As charging via USB on a PC is my only option at work, I'll have to be careful connecting and disconnecting willy nilly. The "Safely Disconnect" option in XP's taskbar has been removed from our work PCs, as has just about every other useful option, so I can't disconnect 'safely'. I was hoping to leave the phone at the "Connect to PC: Choose a connection type" screen (i.e., choose ActiveSync, Disk Transfer etc) but on trying that now under Windows 7, Windows Explorer instantly kicked in and loaded the root of the Memory Card. Doh!
On disconnecting, I am told No Music Found in the Music tab, but after about 30 seconds, my albums and artists have been populated. That's what it should do, I suppose, but on occasion it doesn't succeed.
Shame there isn't a "Do nothing" option when connecting to a PC by USB!

I too am having similar problems. Once I have done a fresh rebuild of the "AudioManager_Eng.vol" everything works fine. But if i connect to my PC via "disk drive" mode once disconnected I have to rebuild the library again, same applies after a soft reset.
Is there a solution to this? i.e disable rebuild.
Thanks

Sharing music from phone to PC, is it possible?

I know that it's possible to stream music from my Desire HD to any device that supports DLNA, but is it possible to stream my music via WiFi to none-dlna devices like my PC?
In other words, is it possible to let my phone work as some kind of a "network" player, that maybe Windows Media Player or another player on the PC would be able to discover?
Best regards,
Martin.

Yup, it is possible and its easier than you think... I do it via XBMC
http://xbmc.org/
1) Download xbmc from the above link and install on your pc
2) Configure the network settings within xbmc to allow other devices to connect
3) From here onwards, its easy peasy, navigate to the "connected devices" app on your phone, and simply choose from the media you wanna send (music, photos, video)

There are other methods such as twonky...

But because I use xbmc on a machine plugged into my tv, it makes sense, as its my media centre in the house - and being able to instantly view pictures or music from my phone is a bonus

Thanks alot

You can also set up Windows Media Player to support DLNA streaming and play music from your phone on your PC.

If any of you are familiar with Linux, then Ubuntu should provide an out-of-the box solution.

It worked great with XBMC, although not exactly the way I wanted it.
I thought that maybe I could browse through the music on my phone via ie. Media Player on my PC or something like that (just as if my phone was connected directly to my PC), and then stream through wifi from the phone to the PC.
But this solution I can live with

That's what I thought, but I couldn't find the setting in Media Player where I can enable this feature. This way, I can "share" my music with my friends as long as I'm connected to the same Wi-Fi and as long as they've enabled DLNA in WMP.

There is no LYRICS tag in MP3 files for me. Is this Windows dependent? What version are you using?

Yes this procedure does not work for me either.
The real problem is that Android does not natively read the ID3 lyrics tag. So, I put in a new feature request that would give Android the ability to read ULT and USLT ( lyrics ) ID3 tags. This will allow the native and 3rd party music players to display lyrics, like the iOS and Windows Phone players currently can.
If you want this feature in Android, please star the request below:

thanks for the tip:good:

Try TuneWiki
TuneWiki can fetch lyrics and artwork online. It also has a basic tag editor. It has a pretty good database and a user community. You can edit the lyrics, change color, font, artwork,etc. It also has Song ID, like Shazaam.
But, the lyrics seem to be in a proprietary format and doesn't save to id3 lyrics tag. musiXmatch also seems good, but i couldn't test it as Google Play says it's incompatible wid my device.
It would have been better if there's an app that fetches metadata/tag info( including lyrics if possible) automatically from internet and save to music files. Do anybody know of such an app for Android?

Ugh musixmatch is a different app and it doesnt put lyrics on your mp3s..

It doesn't embed lyrics inside music files but it does show lyrics. It is similar to TuneWiki. These lyrics are synchronised too. But, the problem is that they don't save/embed lyrics with the music. It would have been better if they saved the lyrics in some format embedded or even as an external LRC for later use.
Minilyrics also seems to be good (For lyrics alone!). It claims to play both USLT( unsynchronised) and SYLT (synchronised) fields in ID3v2 tag and LRC. I don't know if the Android app can write tags( desktop one does). It's just a minimal player(even minimal than the stock player, i think) and doesn't have all the bells and whistles like the ones i mentioned above. If lyrics is your only thing go for it. But, i(and most others) want something which finds all the Album Art, metadata, and other Tag info. Anyway, the minilyrics app doesn't currently work in my device, says failed to read internet data. But, that's just me,i guess.

thanks a lot man it worked for me!!!

musiXmatch works as standalone app or just for Lyrics!
I'm using poweramp AND musiXmatch.
When I hear a Song musiXmatch shows me in Statusbar if there is a lyricsfile for it and when I tap on it it opens.
Poweramp plays in background and in opened musiXmatch I have the lyrics
For me MusiXmatch works very good, and if I didn't payed for PowerAmp I would just use musiXmatch like years before on PC!

Fix cover art in Musixmatch
I also have Poweramp and am using Musixmatch with it. When I open the Musixmatch app it has some how loaded pictures from my photo album as cover art and I didn't feel like paying Musixmatch to fix their problem so what I ended up doing is downloaded Cover Art Downloader from the playstore and it automatically found the right cover art and replaced the photos.

not working for windows 7!
when i earlier had windows xp i used to work with it...but after upgrading to windows 7 there is no such option! what should i do??? please help! i even tried tag scanner and more such apps ...but the song dosent opens after add the lyrics to it! help pleaseeee...!!!
