Hi,
Can someone please help me with the following 2 concerns with my HTC HD2:
1. Unable to create folders for SMS/e-mail. The phone has the new HTC Messaging system which does not allow folders to be created. Need a Fix!
2. Unable to view streaming videos on the phone.
In Internet Explorer the Windows Media Player does appear but the video does not play.
In Opera think its Opera Mobile 9.7 the window does not even show the media player.
Request you to please help me with these concerns.
Thanks!
1 - search for how to disable htc messaging and go back to using windows mobile messaging instead.
2 - what you trying to stream? example please ?
How can you disable that, SMS/MMS will not work is what has been published by ppl.
Any weblink that plays live video, does not work.
not by people on this forum. anyway if it stops working just re enable it, but I bet it doesnt stop working.... go on....bet ya..... hehe
i have problem with streaming media too, it doesn't work. i tried to use rtsp streaming media links but it doesn't work at all. if anyone knows how to use it, it will be very appriciative.
Ps sorry for bad english
For streaming video:
If you are connected to a wireless network, (especially if it is one owned by your work), turn off wi-fi and try through the provider network. Many work networks block streaming media to preserve bandwidth.

I've read there are some way to stream video to ppc.
Who can guide me to the best solution?
Orb?
VCL?
and what client?
tcpmp?
media player?
I would like an easy and free solution.
tcpmp is the best choice u can ever find.
encode use DivX.I suggest u try a software named Movie2Memcard.
WOW,if you got Need for Speed,that software is yr most wanted.
If he say streaming, I guess he is asking opening the media thru the network.
Here is what I did using Apache Web Server (or whatever web service) and TCPMP:
1. Install any web server and place the music or video under the root (or it's sub-directry)
2. In TCPMP, add playlist. enter "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where thouse xxx are the IP or URL.
It works for me even doing it wirelessly thru bluetooth activesync (should work better under wifi). The only problem is TCPMP still having a bug in reading file or directry name for double bytes charecters. So, my songs in Chinese file name cannot be read. I filed a bug and waiting for a fix.....
Ah, forget to mention. Above menthod is not real streaming but opening the media over network
U can use Windows Media Encoder (free d/l from MS) to act as stream server. Then U have full control of bitrate over the streaming server. I don't like this method since the streaming server control what is playing. Not the client (yr PDA). But this is good for broadcasting TV program from yr PC or webcam.

Hey man, you saved my life!!! I've spent months trying to open a movie stored on PC through Blue-crap. I've tried every streaming server available (apple's, real's, microsoft's) without ever succeeding. I tried every program i was able to find for both my old P900 and my Magician, but nothing. And, today, i read your post and i realize how simple it is!!! I cannot believe i was so dumb!!! You're great man, my hero!!!
Thanks A LOT!!!
Bye
Just an update. The latest version can play filename or directry name w/ double bytes characters (eg: Asian character).

Hi,
There is a new media player available for Windows Mobile Smartphones called LobsterTunes which allows you to play all your music on your device and also from your home pc on your Windows Mobile XDA anywhere via Wifi or 3G. Amongst its wireless goodies is downloadable album art, biography lookup, free internet radio stations, free internet TV (including BBC radio, Virgin and BBC News and Weather TV) and last.fm Audioscrobbling.

Hi all
I hope all you Brits out there are enjoying the snow. My office is closed today so I thought I'd share my experience of using the BBC iPlayer. I believe it can work for you too, if you're UK based. N.B. at the moment it only works over WiFi. Don't blame me for that, it's the BBC's restriction on their website. Also, this worked on my Kaiser, so again no guarantees it'll work on other devices, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.
Here's what I did:
Install the Opera 9.5.15529 cab that are attached to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475986
You will also need HTC Streaming Media. I've attached a version available on this forum. I don't actually know whether this will work on your device as I have the sreaming media cooked into my ROM (see below). Obviously if you have a VGA device you should use the equivelant version of Opera for VGA devices.
There are two other files attached. ASPlayer.exe and ASPlayerLNK.lnk. ASPLayer.exe is infact VJBrisk.exe renamed from an installation of VJBrisk by Vijay555 and a renamed link to the sreaming media player application. If you are installing the Media Player app attached then you need to check the shortcut to ensure it's correct. The one attached is for the executible in the windows folder (\Windows\StreamingPlayer.exe). You can edit shortcuts on your device using TotalCommander.
Once you're happy that the link is correct, copy ASPlayer.exe and ASPlayerLNK.lnk to the \Windows directory of your device.
In Opera type: opera:config in the address bar. Scroll down to User Prefs and open this section. Go to Custom User-Agent. Here type "sgh-i900" without the quotes and then scroll down and select save. Exit Opera and restart it. Go to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer
in Opera and you will see the mobile iPlayer page load up. Select your chosen TV or Radio programme and click to play. The streaming app should now open and display your programme.
Hope this helps. I watched "Who do you think you are?" with Rory Bremner in bed this morning!
Best wishes

Thank you for this tut, I have followed your instructions and all seem to be ok (I didn't watch a video but the streaming media did kick in when i clicked play.
I will test later and get back to you
I got as far as the file being played. Audio is fine, but no picture.
Any Ideas?
Tried this on a touch and a hermes

Hi
If the HTC Streaming Media doesn't work on the Xperia then you will need equivelant software. You could try the media player attached if nothing else works. Real player might work also. Obviously you'd need to manually edit the shortcut in this case but hopefully you can get it working.
Cheers

Hi
Yes, this is the way the website behaves. Obviously the BBC believe that this is necessary at the moment as they'd rather no compromise on quality.
I guess for now this is not available for phones with no wifi connection. I'll change the first post to make this clearer.
Many thanks
andrew-in-woking
Your post is it VGA or QVGA as sounds great
Almost there!
Thanks for your post, I'm using a Hermes wm6 with your htc streaming media installed. It opens up streaming media ok but then has an unknown error message (both for tv and radio). Could be running low on ram causing the problem. Also tried Skyfire but it doesn't like the IP address and doesn't recognise me as British. I am not giving up just yet though!
Just tried on a Touch... sound only however nothing at all on live streams (memory not an issue here, my ten year olds xmas pressie!)
QVGA

Hi wapvirus
It's QVGA but should work with a VGA device as long as the correct streaming media player is installed and can be linked to the ASPlayer.exe shortcut in \Windows.
Hope that helps. Love your QVGA colour task bar items by the way!
Cheers

i got 'unknown error' for the htc streaming media player on my lg ks20. Any ideas? how do i link it to the ASPlayer.exe?
Help me plz
Still tryin on my hermes, the best player to date was a dopod version (works perfectly.... but no video!!! Sounds great). After a little search I stumble on an updated tcpmp player which should play the files ok BUT how do I change the ASPlayer to use this as default, or do I change one of the Streaming Media files to use tcpmp ? It will not let me change the aslink.ink page and I presume we leave the opera setting on sgh-i900. I think I have at least 10 different media and streaming players now installed & have become very confused...
shame this cant be make into apanel for the x1 like they have done with youtube

Hi redflag
The simple answer is that you need to edit the destination of the shortcut: ASPlayerLNK.lnk which you copy into windows along with ASPlayer.exe. This link can be edited with the file editor in Total Commander PPC. Hope that helps. If you're unsure about shortcut editing do a search for it on this forum.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Success... kind of
Thanks for your reply, have taken a flood day off work! Total Commander is not letting me save the edited LNK.Ink file so I went back and had another go at Skyfire and have got it working on both my hermes and on a touch. The only disappointment is that ,whilst Skyfire uses the main iplayer site which allows downloads, it doesn't feature live tv which yours does by using the mobile site. Keep up the good work!
Had problems getting video to work but when I used this version of the HTC Streaming Player it all worked fine!
How do I stop Opera from trying to stream it in Windows Media Player and not Streaming Media?

media file not supported?
thanks andrew-in-working
so i followed you instructions...opera installed, streaming media, changed user pref. All goes very well from iplayer in opera, link to streaming media and then... streaming media opens, a black screen and 0% buffering message appears, it hangs for a while and tells me this:
"media file not supported"
any idea why it should state this? odd that it is not recognising a file type?
any help would be appreciated..
I found a version of a DLNA server for a Samsung omina 2, messed around a bit with it and it works on my HD2, connecting from Windows7.
Although I'm sure the server app allows you to conf. the setting via http I can't get into this. When you fire up the server it creates an html file to access the setting but I can't get the browser to connect. (hopefully someone my have better luck)
Anyway I have configured it manually in the samsung-mediaserver.ini file and moded the network adaptor list for the HD2.
Just copy it to your storage card and launch the SamsungMediaServer.exe.
It is set up to get the media from \Storage Card\My Document
My Pictures
My Videos
My Music.
Mark..
Dear Mcc05,
Thanks for the efforts. May i kindly request if you can give us brief info on how to connect from win7 to hd2 with this DLNA server? Thanks in advance...
Best Regards
Copy the contents of the zip file in post 1 to your phone.

if you need to change the location of your media edit the samsung-mediaserver.ini file in the DLNA directory.
Once on your phone simply use file explorer to launch the samsungmediaserver.exe.
Now to get it seen under windows 7, make sure you wi-fi is on and your phone is connected to the same network as your win7 pc.
If so simply go to start/network and you should see you hd2 in the list of media devices, click on it and it sholud open WMP as show the content of your media library on your phone.
Hope that helps.

Are you still using this program? I would like a DLNA server for my TP2. I think everyone has forgotten about DLNA on a windows mobile phone.
Thanks - works well. Needed to adjust the ini file but instructions provided are helpful.
Nice find!
Now, how do you disable it? I extracted the files, started samsungmediaserver.exe, but then I got nothing on the screen. I found that a process called samsungmediaserver was running (and taking 11-14 % CPU), but I couldn't kill it using that particular task manager (the default HTC task manager).
I was just going to check what the application looks like, and I didn't have WiFi turned on on the phone, and neither a Win7 PC available to check if I could connect to the phone.
Should there be some kind of a GUI on the app?
What about a Windows Mobile DLNA client?
I'd like to access my media served by a Windows 7 PC.
Thank You,
Bye

grEEtZ,

Good app but I haven't worked out either how to switch it off - once enabled it keeps the wifi & CPU active and starts chewing through the battery.
haven't tried it or anything - but a soft reset should kill the app?
PocketNow did a brief write-up & review of this app, including a basic "How to:" guide.

The samsung-config.html is referring to h t t p://x.x.x.x/setup.htm.
Any change to obtain this setup.htm? I will do a search on an Omnia device.
Thanks
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the xbox 360. It does not pick up the HD2. My archos 5 media tablet does and it streams great just not the Xbox.
Cheers
Hello
I don't know for the xbox 360.
I've got a problem : that's work but the photo quality is very poor when i stream the photo with this software.
do you how to change the quality of the photo in the ini file ?
I test it with a popcorn a110.
Regards
I will do a research too for the html connect. Possible some know how what i have get from the wifi remote app can help.
This is Brilliant i can stream music movies to my tv via wdtvlive. anybody know a way to use it as a client, ive got two nas drives and i cant get the HD2 to connect to any of them i can see them on the network ping them but cannot access them, but one has a dlna server. much apreciated.
Hi.
First time using this apps was correct and normally. I saw the HD2 icon on network page on PC. But after then , the icon's name changed to
SamsungMobileServer(HTC39) and can't access to my files.
I mean the apps worked correctly just for the first time.
Any help?
Thanks.
Just use desire hd roms ,dlna works perfect
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Thanks,this works great on my on my HD2 WM,it connects and streams videos pics etc.even two rooms away.well done,
nice work
Ok. I have a wifi network at home, and attached to that I have a WDmybook Network storage device that all of my laptops and desktop get movies and mp3's from. I want to be able to view avi's over my wireless network on my HD2. I AM able to browse the network and SEE the media files in the file system, BUT I cannot play them. I just upgraded my handset from HTC-SHadow and was hoping with winmo 6.5 this could be done.. also, it would be cool if I could watch my DVD's that I have ripped and stored on the NAS as well.. that would be awesome..
thank so much in advance..
I Have the same question, I also use SamsungMedia without sucess. Any idea ?
The solution is TCPMP
Google TCPMP, I would post a link, but I am new and this system does not allow it..
TCPMP is a WinMO app that plays meda over a wireless LAN. Just install the cab, then open it.. you can find it installed in the Start Menu, then click the + sign to open the file browser, drill down through your network and click the file and enjoy.
If you are browsing over your wifi LAN, you must use UNC path
\\device-name\folder\video.avi
SO in my scerario, I do this
\\WD-MYBOOK\video\video10.avi
The cool thing is that once you close TCPMP, and you open it back uip later, it opens in the same directory you were in before.
My needs have been satisfied.
