Windows Media Streaming

Hi, I have looked everywhere for this problem but no solution. I have a wizard and I want to stream windows media music and videos from my computer thru wifi. but it keeps saying ''parameter is incorrect''. I've always played music from my computer with other pocket pcs but not this one. has anyone found a solution or tweak to do this? is it a windows mobile 5 problem? thanx for any help.

How are you streaming? Using SMB shares or are you using Windows Media Encoder or the like of? If SMB shares, check you can browse the directories first.

As far as i know, Media Player can't handle networking.
I use Conduits Pocket Player. It's not free, but IMO it is the best i have tried. It's has the best format support, handles gapless playback and has plugins for album art etc.
There are free good players around, but i have not tested them with streaming, although i believe GS Player can.
TCPMP is free can also player files accross a network, but it's more of a video player really.

access media center or windows media connect from ppc

Hi,
I have a Windows XP media center PC at home connected to my network. It has a huge mp3 and movie collection as well as TV card for recording TV on it.
So now, if possible, with my new Hermes I would like to connect to my media center, listen to audio and watch recorded TV, and other movies (divx)
is there any way to do this ?
any application that would do ?
There is an application named Rudeo Control at:

But is this only for controlling ? or does it also receive streaming from the PC ?
if there is no easy way and/or application I would also be happy to reach it at least for my mp3 files through file manager on PPC. at least is this possible ?

Not sure about Windows Media Center but you can see your networked shares using Resco Explorer. You just map a share then you can stream any media.
I remember setting windows media encoder up with my old IPAQ and just used the inbuilt media player to watch asf streams. Im sure there is a better solution now though.

How to play recorded videos on computer?

Hey guys, did a search and couldn't find anything, I am trying to play a video I recorded on my Hermes running WM6 on my computer, I get video, but no sound, anyone know what codec I need?

Try VLC media player
Presumably the video files are .MP4 from your Hermes??
Have a look at VLC media player - a freeware media player available for multiple platforms. Get it from HERE.
Post back if it works, then other users can benefit too
Cheers,
Mark.

The video plays fine on VLC as well as Windows Media player 11 and Media Player classic, but I get no sound.

Windows Media - Through Network

Hey,
Never really thought of this until now.
Basically, I have a router with 3 PC's and a TV connected to it. I can open Windows Media Player on the computers, enable streaming, and the TV can watch videos, play music and view pictures from the PC's.
Now I was wondering if the HD2 is capable of allowing the TV (or PC's) to connect to it so they can view/play the pictures/videos/music off it...
Its a long shot, and I dont have a clue how the app "Streaming Media" works. But as the HD2 has Windows Media...
Thanks

There is a post that answers this recently added. You need a program which handles DNLA which was pulled off of a Samsung and it works very well.

hd movies dont have any sound?

hi all, I tried to play a 720p avi movie on windows 8 today but there was no sound. I booted back to windows 7 and tried again and the sound works.
I would like to make it work on windows 8. does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks everyone!

The magic word here is "codecs". Haven't used Windows 8 myself but I am pretty sure you need an AC3 or DTS codec depending on the movie you are trying to watch. It also depends on which player you are trying to watch the movie with. Try using Media Player Classic - Home Cinema Edition which has all the codecs needed to watch HD material. If, however, you don't want to change players, then install ffdshow or ac3filter. These codecs will work with any Directshow player.

Codecs would be one issue. What software are you using to play the film?

it may be only a codec issue, i just tested some Avi movies i have and i found some had sound and some dont.
But like in Win7, in this Dev Preview I installed my regular player PotPlayer.
and you wouldn't have any trouble since it has codecs included.
of course other player may do the job.
but you can get Potplayer english version from here:

vlc will play most of the hd movies. And yoiu might not need codecs

Thanks for everyones help. I just installed ac3 codec and sound is working perfectly in windows media player.
