[Q] TCMP stops playing streaming at 6'00 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi Experts,
I have got a strange behaviour and would like to know the reason.
When playing streaming Radio, TCMP stops playing streaming media pretty exactly after 6 minutes and 00seconds.
Sometimes it even stops earlier but never later...
That behaviour is independent of the network source: 2G, 3G or WLAN.
It looks like a timeout in networking, but where can that be set?
Any help would be appreciated.

PS it's on a HTC Leo. Seems to be the same issue then the (unanswered) thread from 2009: media player stops playing streaming radio when inactive.
Has anyone got a clue where to set the timeout?

SoftBank X01HT

I have the Softbank X01HT and I am trying to get my bluetoot headset working.
I have the i-PHONO PLUS BT450Rx Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
It skips a little, and I think it may be because of how much it lags the PPC.
As soon as music is playing in media player through the bluetooth the ppc suffers heavy lag if I try doing anything else the music will highly skip and you can tell everything is very slow.
If i stop the audio from playing by clicking pause the lag is gone. I don't remember my old Cingular 8125 lagging this bad when bluetooth was playing, and that had half this processor, so I'm guessing something is wrong?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I would appreciate help,
Thanks
yeah it lags abit when the A2DP is on.
Well I just installed the a2dp cab fix I found on these forums and It seemed to help alot and I think it even fixed my skipping problem!
Can't say for sure yet have only tested for about 15 minutes, but it was skipping every 15 seconds or so before now no skipping at all.
My media player dosent skip now which is good.
But still my skype skips if I try using the headset with skype.
I'm guessing because skype takes more resources than media player.
Have you had any luck using a bluetooth headset with skype marktang?
no lol i have never used skype yet. and for the skipping problem i never had that. the only problem i have is that when im using stereo bluetooth the phone will lag abit.
Well I'm pretty sure that A2DP cab fixed the skipping on media player.
But I really want to use the headset for skype too, but I think because a2dp takes up resources and skype takes a lot of resources it is laggy.
Do you know of any way to free up resources? What programs I can close or something, or is there a way yet to overclock the cpu on the X01HT?

Stutter Probs Streaming audio over network and playing over A2DP

First Post, Hi to all.
Hardware:
I have just purchased an SPV M3100 (HTC TyTn) and I think it's great I want to use it to play music from my MP3 collection which is shared over the LAN and output the music to my new bluetooth A2DP speakers (Accoustic Energy)
Software:
The PDA is running WM5. I have installed V-mobile Software Network Browser which adds a network folder to the system and allows me to map my Computers MP3 shared folder as a network drive on the phone (This works a treat).
I am using CorePlayer as my media player as this is the best one I've found, it plays all my music and also my divx/xvid movies.
Problem:
I can play music straight over the network using coreplayer fine from the phone (WIFI & BT both turned on), but when I connect the BT speakers I get stuttering. Occasionally it seems to work fine, but most of the time the music is really broken up.
I can play music straight off the phone and send to the BT speakers and it works great, but only if WIFI is turned off.
It seems that the phone is maybe struggling to run WIFI & A2DP simultaneously, which is a little bit annoying.
Plea For Help:
Is there ANYONE who has tried to do this on ANY PDA? If there is, was it successful or are you having similar stuttering probs?
PS. I have tried the A2DP bitpool reg hacks with no luck, and even tried the 802.11g wifi hack in case it was a wifi bandwidth problem.
If Anyone can offer any suggestions or advice I would be most greatful.
//not sure if I posted this in the correct thread, it might be better suited to accessories?

playing AAC+ over bluetooth is choppy. Advice?

I've got the tmobile MDA, it plays back AAC+ files great using TCPMP when not using bluetooth, but I recently got my first bluetooth stereo headset and I guess bluetooth must eat alot of cpu b/c AAC+ playback becomes choppy. Has anyone here been able to get smooth AAC+ playback using bluetooth on the HTC Wizard, and if so what did you do to make it happen? I tried another app called gsplayer but that made it even more choppy, and also tried fiddling with the buffer settings in TCPMP but made no difference.
Since I'm a bluetooth newb, I've got a couple more questions while I'm at it. Right now when I want to connect my bluetooth set to the phone I have to:
1) press comms manager button
2) click bluetooth settings
3) go to "devices" tab
4) rightclick my bluetooth headset and click "set as wireless stereo"
Now that's really a pain in ass in my opinion just to connect a headset. Is there an easier way?
BTW, is there a way to make Windows Media Player mobile to playback AAC+ files with the "+" settings? It plays them but sounds like 22 khz, I was wondering if someone has done a hack or something so it recognizes the full "spectrum" of aac+ files.
Sounds more like RFI interference to me.
Is there a wifi network nearby or is the wifi on the phone turned on at the time? Bluetooth uses the same frequency.
Pretty sure It's not an interference problem because it can pipe mp3 music over bluetooth just fine. I know aac is much more cpu intensive to decode compared with mp3. Are you able to listen to aac+ over bluetooth on this 200mhz smartphone?
FYI, there is a wifi network but I have wifi turned off on my phone.
My reason for saying that is that you said it plays back AAC just fine when not on Bluetooth. The other explanation I see being that transmitting data over bluetooth is also CPU intensive and that the two together are too much. But that's just a theory.
No, I've never tried AAC. The few AAC files I've ever gotten I immediately converted to MP3.
But you're right, mp3's play fine over bluetooth. Unless I get too close to my wireless router downstairs, then I get choppiness and skips like you mentioned. However, I do have my wifi signal strength amped up to increase the range.
I managed to solve the problem by overclocking the cpu as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271012
I'm running at 252 mhz now and AAC+ playback is smooth over bluetooth and the system is stable, and feels overall snappier now. But still if anyone knows a solution w/o overclocking I'd like to hear it.

switching to a player requiring less CPU for AAC+ decoding may be of help. If you followed my articles in the General forum, you already knew the answer: most importantly, Pocket Tunes. Kinoma Play may also turn out to be OK, but it consumes more CPU (but still less than TCPMP)
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350786 for more info and, again, do follow my articles.
Not looking to spend the asking price for Pocket Tunes or Kinoma Play, but thanks anyway for the suggestion. In your first post you described mplayer's cpu usage as "17%(!) for HE-AAC" which seems low to me, but you also describe the player as useless. That post was dated from 2005 however, so I was wondering if things have improved in 3 years. And I think I read somewhere that the Windows Media Player mobile for WM6 has AAC+ support- is that true? I'm reasonably satisfied with TCPMP except that I can't use use the media control buttons on my bluetooth phones to control it, so I'm keeping an eye out for something better (preferably free, but I'd be willing to shell out $10 to $20 on a good app)

wifi problems - please repond- don't ignore

Hi there
Well I completely not pleased with how my shift works over wifi. when I try to stream audio over wifi, i keep getting interrutions while listening to radio stations.
I never had this problem with my other laptops, is there a solution to be able to listen to streaming audio with getting the interruptions and pauses over wifi.
My router is a siemens and I have a fast internet connection ( 5mbp )
Did you check your CPU usage? Maybe the CPU is on its limit.
I use Winamp to stream radio over internet and I can use it 8 hours a day without any interruption on my shift.
