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.

I have recently purchased an o2 xda mini s, and have been browsing through this site for about a week. been very impressed. i have a question for you - is there anyway of accessing my computer through the wireless lan? EG accessing the computer hard drive, and playing a film on the xda. thanks ben
Yes there is but I'm not sure how to do it on a "Vanilla" WM5 machine. I use Resco Explorer which is a commercial application but allows you to move the "Network" folder below "My Device" and connect to shared drives. These shared drives over the network (GPRS / WiFi / USB Active Sync etc) will then show up in ANY program which has a file browser.
I'm sure there is a way of doing it on a plain machine but Resco Explorer is so much easier and nicer for any kind of file manipulation....
nice one, im looking into it now
ok iv got resco, and im connected. i can see the network places, and i can acess my shared folder, but when i try to open a music file, media player opens and says the parameter is incorrect? anyone know what this means?!
You're right you know!
This is the only app on my device that has this problem (Well no surprises there seeing as it's MS s/w!)
I am using both Pocket Music and TCPMP (Free!) for video / music (TCPMP does both) and neither have that problem over the network.
Also try MortPlayer as that is another excellent skinnable player for FREE....
TCMP will access shared folders/files. Or should that be \\computer\shared_folder\media.files It works pretty well over wifi for me. If you are happy to create your playlist on your pc and stream to the PocketPC then Microsoft media encoder will do the job. I'm just looking into Orb www.orb.com which should allow me to view/listen to my media anywhere I have access to the internet on my Wizard.
Hope this helps,

thats great, got tcpmp running really smooth, even without cutting the resolutions down. im very impressed. is there a way to make tcpmp the default application? iv always had symbian phones uptil now-which are considerably more stable, but not quite as manipulative iv noticed.
one other thing, is i had a prog for my symbian device that put my desktop up on the screen and gave me total control of the pc with it, do u kno of another app that will do this on ppc? thanks so much!

Did some searching and found this older thread.
Basically, I was wondering if any body knows of a free prog, or reg hack, to make the network folder visible and then allow mapping the network drive?
I found an older prog caller NetRunner, from a Spanish site. It works on my older wm2003 devices (though it always asks for my pass work even if I tell it to save it) And it will work on my MDA, but I can only access the network drive through net runner. It won't show up in file explorer.
So any ideas? Thanks
Ok, Never mind.... I feel sheepish!
I have GSfinder installed and it allows you to show the network folder and to map the drive................
One question about it though- even time I soft power down the phone and turn it back on and try to browse my network drive it keeps asking for my password. Even if I tell it to save it..any way to fix this?
Thanks

This usually means that the music file type is not supported by windows media player. ie: asx,m3u,etc. In file explorer, does the music file you're trying to play have the wmp icon, or some other player icon beside it?
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.

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

WaW, nice! Is it possible to make / mode this for XPERIA X1?
grEEtZ,
gongoscho
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.

Right, but slightly inconvenient wouldn't you say.

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.

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
is it possible to access the music playlists on my pc with the hd2 over wifi?
I don't think play lists will work, but using as different file manager such as resco you can map network drives and play music from them.I do this with both a music and a video folder using resco.
i cant see my pc as a device on my wifi list. want to know how to cennect my hd2 to the pc using wifi. i am using my home wifi network with no problems.
No you wont see it as a device
On your PC, share a folder with some music in it, , lets say your pc is called 'comp' and the folder is called 'muzic'. Share that folder, then on your phone, (using resco, i dont use anything else but the principle is the same)
on your phone, in resco you go to 'my network', click 'map network drive' and you should see your pc as an item on your network. click that, it should show the shared folder muzik and you should be able to click that to set it as a mapped folder. If you have username/password on your pc, it will ask for that info.
On mine, it doesn't always show properly the network shares, so i have to put the shared folder in manually, using \\comp\muzik
wow that is amazing, thx for that. I can access all folders from my pc and view/listen to them directly on the hd2 using wifi including pictures, documents and music.
I continue to be impressed with this phone.
An iPhone user recently showed me that he could control his music collection from his phone and get it to play through his sound system from the pc. I dont suppose there is anything similar in winmo?
heh yea. love it.
I'm sure you can probably do the control stuff, maybe win media player can do it, or maybe media center has an extender.I never do stuff like that so I cant help there.
you can always go down the remote desktop method of control.
I have my HD2 and my home pc connected to the same wifi router, and basically i want to use the media player on the HD2 to access music files on the home pc. Now, i have managed to use resco explorer's network function to map the shared folder, and i can open it in resco, tap a music file, and play it, but how to play a whole album/folder, like i normally do in the media player? Its almost as if i need a proper path available in the system's own file explorer, which i can then select in any application?

I just use Orb so other than that no idea.
Nice. Just trying orb out now, just a bit curious as to why it's free, and on such an expensive looking server and ui as well!?? Where do they get their money?
I purchased a Lacinema Classic hd, (cheap nas drive), and i have it connected to my home network. Can anyone tell me how to stream video from it to my hd2? if it is possible.
any help appreciated

Hiya
I connected my HD2 via WiFi to router and i can stream movies from my pc (with Win XP, connected to router with cable) to my phone without problem, they runs smoothly and I watch them in coreplayer, its ok for me, so maybe try something lika that, good luck
yeah thats what i want to do but without using the pc. It must be possible to stream the content straight to my phone just dont know how.
i am not personally experienced with "NAS drives"...but i've always assumed these drives would be available to other network machines/devices as shared folders, accessible from windows using the "\\MACHINE\SHARE_NAME" syntax.
please verify my assumption. if such is the case, then look for "schap's htc network plugin" and download and install it. this little tool will let you map shared network folders onto the \Network folder on your HD2. once the mapping is complete, all applications on your device will be able to see and use the files on the shared folder as if these files are on your storage card. so you can then fire up coreplayer or pocket player or what have you and enjoy!
