Pre-Installed Media Players - Touch HD General

Done a lot of searching and there isn't anything specific on this...
Seems a few people do not have the streaming media app on their handsets and instead have something called pvplayer. I recently got my HD from Orange UK and I too do not have the streaming player app but pvplayer.
Just curious if this is some kind of replacement or whether im just missing the program?
Only really an issue as im trying to figure out iplayer as their seems to be a host of reasons floating round as to why it may not work.
Is it worthwhile trying to get hold of or is it not really required since I already have this pvplayer, windows media, divx and coreplayer installed.
Cheers in advance!

same issue any help anyone?

When I got my Toch HD banck in June, it's on O2, iPlayer was pre installed and worked a treat, since flashing my ROM I've lost it but can't seem to pick up a working version anywhere, without getting the iPlayer cab then coreplayer which I don't fancy paying $29.99 for when I did have a working iPlayer that came with the phone.

Streaming radio.

I want to stream radio to my Vario II.
Is there anything out there that will play .ram files? I know RealPlayer do not do a player for WM5's, so is there anything else?
Also, would this be frounded upon by the T-Mobile contract? Or are people streaming stuff without any warnings.

Not sure what files it plays, but resco radio is a very good radio streaming application. Check link below:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/default.asp
Would this be frowned upon by T-mobile? Probably, but not received any complaints yet.
My Vario 2 came with that kinda odd 'streaming media' program, which fires up when I load an .sdp file... Maybe you could try download the ram file, renaming it to sdp and tapping on it to open it? That may work...
I know TCPMP doesn't support the RTSP protocol, but there's the off-chance that it's not an rtsp stream of course. Not too likely though. I have the installer for the last version of Real Player before they went over to exclusively provide their software for Nokias, I could chuck it your way if you want (I've had mixed success getting it to work though).
Thanks gyus ...

Allows streaming via WM and others.

Real Player for Universal should work
Just google real player pocket pc, its a version 1.1
... This one, you mean?
So, will that do the job?
I mean how can one possibly play .ram files in streaming?
My favourite radio uses this kind of files only, thus making all other options (Resco, TPCMC, etc.) useless.
Hello,
I have discovered many radio streams now require the latest flash to be installed but when I install flash 7 it breaks the work I've done with tcpmp and the flash plugins for youtube. Any way to avoid this situation? I have both Opera mobile and IE installed on my 8525. is there a way to allow opera to use flash 7 while maintaining my settings in ie for youtube. Thanks in advance for your help.

Any alternative to Real player T-Mobile started blocking it

Does anybody know of PocketPC alternative to Real Player. I don't think one exists but I need to play media streams from the BBC site and Real player no longer works on the T-Mobile WnW UK network. It's fine over Wifi.

Thanks, that helped at least I can get Radio4 and FiveLive. (Helpful first post!)

streaming video, not youtube

I hope this hasn't been covered before. I DID search, so I apologize if it has directly been addressed.
I have some questions concerning streaming video. I have tcmp and have no problems with youtube, but I've got a list of some websites here that I believe are rstp. I tried the htc player from here, but still can't get these sites to load. Some of the sites on these links are network stations (NBC, Fox, etc), so I think it would be awesome to be able to watch these.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

How did you get youtube and TCPMP to work together? I never understood how to get it to work, I have the flash plugin and TCPMP installed but whenever the Youtube video opens in TCPMP it is so jumpy and laggy that its unwatchable, and it never works in full screen.
problem seems to be you're using an MDA (wizard).
The MDA is more than capable of playing streaming media, but you have to remember that youtube videos are not encoded for the low-bandwidth and slow-cpu of a phone.
The Titan (Mogul, which forum you're posting in) has double the CPU power of the Wizard, and can connect over 4x as fast to the internet.
It works just fine on the mogul/Titan.
what are you talking about? I have both the Wizard and the Mogul from Sprint, I am talking about using my Mogul to play youtube videos using EVDO. I know that the Wizard cant play the videos. But I don't know how to setup youtube on my phone.
Go to http://www.gopckt.com/ they have the mobile version of youtube that works really well with tcpmp. all the youtube videos are available unlike the m.youtube.com version
Check this forum. Forget mobile youtube, it blows http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/90808-full-youtube-access.html

I've also been looking for decent streaming media links and applications especially ones that are free of charge. I happened to come across this one which I found on the Microsoft site. https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/msnbc.mspx It only plays MSNBC network media but it works quite nicely. Videos also seem to be formatted specifically for wide screen. They look awesome and they stream rather quickly in my location. Check it out, I think you may like this app and even if you don't at least it was FREE.

BBC iPlayer?

Hi,
I have searched the internet and as far as I'm aware, there isn't a Windows Mobile app that plays the BBC iPlayer.
I have notice that the new Nokia N96 has this functionality.
Is their already a windows mobile application for the iPlayer?
If not would it be feasible to have an application similar to the youTube one?
Thanks

Iplayer Not Possible On Any Phone..
BBC IPLAYER ACCESS ON DIAMOND/ANY PHONE NOT POSSIBLE...
THE ONLY MOBILE BROWSER CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING THE LATEST FLASH ETC IS SKYFIRE,BUT SKYFIRE USES AN AMERICAN PROXY SERVER WHICH CAUSES "MUST BE IN UK TO WATCH " ERROR
THEREFORE BBCIPLAYER IS NOT POSSIBLE AND WONT BE UNTIL SKYFIRE CREATE A UK PROXY SERVER (NOT FOR A LONG LONG LONG TIME)
I have had a go at this (unsuccessfully). I even tried spoofing opera's user-agent to an iphones user-agent but although I got the iphone version of the iplayer website, the streams would not play. (there was some text visible about requiring a plug-in)
The BBC rather too accurately detect the flash version. I've just a similar problem with my Ubuntu 8.10 install until I rolled flash back to version 9.

iPlayer to synchronise shows on PCs and phones
The BBC's iPlayer service will synchronise downloaded TV shows across all your PCs and mobiles, as part of a forthcoming integration with Windows Live Mesh, writes Barry Collins in Los Angeles.
a valid point merrica
although,this mobile integration of live mesh and bbc iplayer
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/233295/iplayer-to-synchronise-shows-on-pcs-and-phones.html# is good ,its still not what we need as it is limitied to what you have on your home pc,its exactly the same as using orb or any other mobile-streaming app....the point is real-time bbciplayer access wont be possible for a while
(i mean going to bbc iplayer and randomly choosing a show.i.e. tonights eastenders..this wont be possible until skyfire has a uk proxy option)
You do know that you can
download programme content from the iplayer website an then upload it to your phone and watch through WM player. It does need to download the DRM to your phone.

I think the majority of people here would like to stream directly from their devices.

I tried doing this for the first time yesterday, but when I put the file onto my diamond it would'nt play the file due to DRM. you put that it needs to download the DRM to your phone.... so how does it do that?
It'd be nice to be able to stream it straight to the phone, but i'd be happy to download the shows that I want for now, but don't know where to start with DRM??
open in wm player and should auto download opening both ie and opera for some reason. both pages will be blank. please note this takes ages sometimes
I have managed to get the N96 / Samsung I900 streams to work fine on my X1.

Can you test with your Diamonds?
it seems to work but the iplayer service keeps going down,so i will try again later and hopefully get to see a stream.
I've heard that iPlayer seems to work fine on the latest beta of Skyfire, which also plays youtube flawlessly. Here is the review of skyfire (http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1476)
Iplayer on wm6 with ease
Skyfire Beta is now available to anyone in the uk. I downloaded it the other day and can now view any website including Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Joox, gamesloth and so on. It runs the webpage from thier systems and you view it on your handset. give it a blast. its free.
ive been using skyfire for a while,i would just like to see other browsers having this capability,
Maybe in opera it might sit the picture on the screen a bit better without having to rotate the screen and stuff.
Is anyone getting sound from the bbc iPlayer on Skyfire?

I got sound on my X1 when using SkyFire. There is an option in SkyFire to disable/enable audio, also double check the iPlayer has the volume set.

whats the big deal about TCPMP???

I have tried using TCPMP on multiple occasions but every time I try to watch a movie, it stutters and jitters. I've changed the settings to match the HTC video player (GDI) but it still is not near as smooth as the HTC player. Now this wouldn't matter except for the fact HTC never gave us an option to turn the video around so the volume button is on top. Any suggestions?
*edit* Guess I should state what I'm running. I currently have NRG's GTX 5/04 ROM. It came with the current version of TCPMP.
First, this version of TCPMP is very old. It was back when the project was opensource and free. Unless someone is actively updating the project (possible, since I haven't checked in two years), the codecs are probably out of date.
The new version is commercial and retailed for around $29.99 (US) the last time I bought it, called CorePlayer.
That being said, I've played the Transformers movies that came on our cards without any issues with the commercial version with no problems. I haven't tried it with TCPMP, and I don't even have it installed with my current ROM.
I'm not suggesting you go out and buy CorePlayer, since you obviously have the WMP and it works just fine.
I can say that I've done some testing with CorePlayer a bit. I downloaded videos straight from YouTube in flv format and they played beautifully with it. I also tried with WMP, but they wouldn't even open.
