Building Windows Media Player 10 Pocket Pc Skins - General Topics

I found some windows media player mobile skins a few weeks ago which wern't quite what i liked, does anybody know how to build my own or what programs ill need?

you dont need any programs. Use notepad to make "skn" file for WMP and use paint/photoshop or any graphic editor for making the graphics

I say the easiest way is to ask for permission of the owner and edit instead of from sratch, fastest way

all skins from later wmp i've treid to use have worked just fine

[APP] Youtube got Mobile

Youtube got mobile (http://m.youtube.com) and now streams 3gp files via rtsp. Unfortunately WM10 cannot play these streams, but there exists a HTC Streaming Mediaplayer which plays it just fine. The app is posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1315644&postcount=553
I copied it to my Vox and it works, except my browser still opens WM10 when I click on a video.
Does anyone know how to associate HTC streaming media player with urls of type rtsp:// ??
EDIT: See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1322849&postcount=20 for getting this to work on S710
EDIT2: Try installing this cab here first, before trying the manual install procedure
HTC Streaming Media Player Older Version Works Best
The HTC streaming media player,the older version v2.10 build 1025.621 works best. This version is found in "Core 2.0" and Faria's "Real Thing". That's the application we all need! Now I do have it on my MDA running the Core 2.0, it connects to http://m.youtube.com very fast, works great, but I want to put the app on another device. That Touch streaming media player,looks good on the T-Mobile Dash, it tries to connect to rtsp://ect.....!, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM YOU ARE HAVING, WHEN YOU TRY TO CONNECT TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS WMP10 COMES UP, WILL NOT PLAY THE CLIP!
The link I posted above V2.10 Build 518.700
Don't know if yours is newer.
I just tried it with this link: rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/JBWbJLYfrgs/video.3gp
and it just quits the player.
Where do I find "Core 2.0" and Faria's "Real Thing"?
Wizard Wm6 Threads
Look in the wizard wm6 section or do a search, it should be easy to find! The 1.7 reload has that streaming media player also!
Thx! Have u tried the rtsp link above? does it work for you?
I think I found the reg keys for handling rtsp.
Should be something like this:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP]
(Default)=URL:Windows Media Streaming Protocol
URL Protocol=
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\DefaultIcon]
(Default)=\Program Files\PacketVideo\PVPlayer\PVPlayer.exe, 0
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\Shell\Open\Command]
(Default)=""\Program Files\PacketVideo\PVPlayer\PVPlayer.exe" %1
I found that here: http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2422
The funny thing is that there seems also to be a PVPlayer (PacketVideo) which can do rtsp ??
Missing Complete Link Data
All the rtsp url info is not there, but I can connect to mobile youtube easy and fast and watch all the videos! I'm watching the Paris Hilton jail video via wifi!
The Pvplayer Will Work Also
A major breakthrough, but where do I find the download. I do not speak Chinese. The registry stuff find is awesome guy! Will the pvplayer just work on Nokia phones, but the above registry data is for a windows devices!
I just improved the link where I found it:
http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2422
I think you must register to be able to dl it
The Hack Makes The Pvplayer The Primary Player
I've use the above hack before to make the TCPMP/player the primary player over wmp10 to watch Orb on the TCPMP/player, it works!
I'm glad I could help you, but so far I haven't got anything to work
Perhaps you can reply on the PM I just sent to you. Also you say you are running TCPMP. Which version? And can it do RTSP?
I'm using Coreplayer which works great, but can't do RTSP yet
The Hong Kong PPC site which has the registry tweak talks about the Pvplayer platform4. Seems hard to find too. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286803
Í found it and attached it to this post.
Maybe it's the same as this Philips Platform4 player for PPC (doesn't install on SP, prolly need manual install or cloning from PPC emu):
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=513
Would be nice if someone manages to install and test these apps on S710
Below are the registry settings for HTC Streaming Media Player.
Ýou find it in the distro which I linked at the top, it's in a68b298c-c2c5-409c-a145-3113bcf2baa1.rgu
I'm a bit worried that there are keys missing, in particular MIME settings for .3gp files
PS: Who knows a good registry tool which can import files?

A Major Breakthrough Again
Do we still need to do the wmp10 registry hack?
That hack from hkppc was actually intended for Pvplayer.
In fact you see similar keys in a68b298c-c2c5-409c-a145-3113bcf2baa1.rgu
For example
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Handler\rtsp]
"CLSID"="{EA48DF9C-1362-41F2-BD83-B97507F9484B}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EA48DF9C-1362-41F2-BD83-B97507F9484B}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EA48DF9C-1362-41F2-BD83-B97507F9484B}\InprocServer32]
@="RtspHandler.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Free"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/sdp]
"Extension"=".sdp"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\URLProtocols\rtsp]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp\Shell\Open\Command]
@="StreamingPlayer.exe %1"
But I haven't been able to test it, because I'm looking for a registry editor which can import files. Do you know one?
Total Commander
Do a Google search for total commander for ppc. I believe that's what you need!
I've got TC, never knew I can import reg files Thx for that!
EDIT: Import doesn't work when I copy a .reg file to \\\registry it says "function not supported"
I'm using TC/CE V.2.5PB
Btw: did you already try Pvplayer and Philips Platform4 player ?
PvPlayer Opens At Youtube Mobile
The Player open when I click on video, but no video will play, but I believe we can get this to work. It's just a matter of time, because it picks up the rtsp url. I will have to take a brake, maybe one for hr. I will be back later! We will get this player to work! I have this player install on a Dell Axim X51v, connection, wifi. The Playr is beautiful!
Pvplayer Trying To Connect
Something is blocking this player from connecting to the Youtubue videos!
I'll try them in the M$ PPC emu t'morrow.
Enough for 2day
PvPlayer Smartphone Version
Do you have the pvplayer smartphone version? The ppc pvplayer version is suppose to work with YouTube mobile, but for some unknown reason it will not connect!
I managed to install the HTC Streaming Media for Smartphone Version 2.10 (Build 518.700) Copyright 2005-2007 on my S710
When I start IE and go to m.youtube.com and start a video, the HTC player is correctly started and plays the videos
I must say I'm not so impressed by the quality but alas it works fine
Okay, here are the steps to install the player on your S710
1. Download the HTC player from here. Unpack it and copy all files to \Windows
2. Install Resco Explorer 5.32 (it's the registry editor you need)
3. Download the registry key which I attach to this message and import it with Resco reg editor
Have fun!
EDIT:
1. also works fine from Opera Mobile 8.65b
2. you can operate the player buttons with Fakecursor (altho via menus it also works perfect)
3. you may want to reduce the pre-buffer time (default 7 sec)

Standalone Flash 6 player found from .....

Macromedia themself. And distributed by Microsoft. Here is the story.
Hi,
I got this info from the Modaco board an decided to dig
into it (tweak it a bit)
http://www.modaco.com/Beta-Macromedia-Flash-pla-t118617.html
This exe file is directly from a download at microsoft.com
and is a true Macromedia stand alone flash (.swf) player
for Windows mobile 2003 and higher (ARM)
SmartPhone
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/tutorials-dl_sp.mspx
PPC
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/tutorials-dl_ppc.mspx
PPC Phone Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/tutorials-dl_ppcpe.mspx
But the players are basically the same (tutorial.exe = a projector)
In the pc world this player is known as saFlashPlayer.exe.
The version of this player is Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r79
You can also create a standalone EXE file (projector) from a swf file.
Copy the file (or the upxed one) to any folder (or in Storage)
and run it once. It will automaticaly create the registry
entries for you to play .swf file from explorer (or total commander etc)
Perhaps a 7 version will be found as well somewhere....
Have fun,
Cheers
ps: I included the HPC version as well
Seems to Work fine on Hermes WM6.
But has this some command line options, so i can start a projector in fullscreen mode when i launch ?
Other way to start a swf in fullscreen ?
Thanks
Thanks, thanks, thanks...
I searched a lot of days for some realy working standalone player. I messed up with some activeXes, not working fp7_ppc_en.cab flashLite 2.1 3.1 junky....
and this is exactly what I need. exceent.
Single exe file, just copy it and go !
(But myabe is a little bit outdated... it is version 6.0) But it doesnt matter, it is working with a charm.
thanks.

Looking for MP3 editor or studio

Hi,
I'm searching for a free (or commercial) MP3 editor or Studio for WM6.1 (touch pro). It is not for ringtones but I use mp3 for practising my singing.
I want to be able to select a section of a mp3 and edit this.
Delete selection
Copy Past (So I can make a section repeat itself)
Merge mp3 files
Cut mp3 files and then save all
On the old midi-discs recorder these options were standard, however thesedays only really high-end mp3 players offer these functions.
Regards,
AJ
you would prob have an easier time moving the files to a computer and doing the edit there as there are piles of free programs for computers which does that
Here's a program like that for PC, I'm gonna browse around and see what I can find for PPC, but I doubt there's anything available.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are a loft of free programs for pc that's true. However I want to edit these practice files on the road. As soon as I have a section in an one hour recording that I know by heart, I can remove it and focus on the parts that i don't know yet. I was so hoping that the mp3 trimmer was up to my needs, unfortunatly it just cuts the beginning or the end. not something in between.
Regards,
AJ
didn't know any editor for mp3. there are just several for wave and aufiles:
http://www.goldencrater.com/software/CE/pocketmixer.htm
http://vitotechnology.de/products/soundeditor.html
@Puckmeister and Black93300ZX
Thank you for your responses. Perhaps I'm going to use a wav editor if I really need to, but for now I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and looking for a mp3 editor.
Regards,
AJ

Windows media player bigger icons?

Hi
Did a search and couldnt find anything on this. Is there a way to make wmp more finger friendly. I dont want to change the player but is there a way to make for example the library view menu icons larger as to select "All Music" "Artist" etc options are quite difficult with fingers and dont want to have to use the stylus all the time. Same for all other sub menus within those like album names and song titles if they were abit larger it would be so much better for navigating!
Thanks!
+1. WM 6.5 modified the menu's so navigating b/w the player and the library is fine now, but the library list is still very small to use.
Maybe there's a registry key to change the size of the font?
hmm not ready to try 6.5 yet so yer if something could be ported over?
Also I tried installing some skins for media player but they didnt work windows media player didnt find them for some reason so then i tried to delete them from the folder and i accidently deleted the default skin. So i would appreciate it if someone could send me the default skin and also why wouldnt the skins work in the first place? I used a cab which stuck them straight in the windows media folder?!

Windows Media Player ActiveX for Internet Explorer Mobile JavaScript issue

Hi,
I am trying to get the ActiveX plugin for the Windows Media Player to work in PocketIE, or rather Internet Explorer Mobile on an O2 XDA Orbit 2 (Windows Mobile 6). The objective is to play a wma file from a URL, but using javascript to control the player, which will sit in a display:none; styled div.
I dont want to post walls of code, so I have setup this simple page to illustrate and test it:
http://lukas.xcomms.ie/cblproof/Default.aspx
I am able to display this fine in PocketIE, and I am able to play the audio file, just as in the desktop browser. However, with the new version of this plugin (i.e. using classid "clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" instead of the old "CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"), I am no longer able to use the javascript calls for .Play() and .Stop() on the player object.
When I switch the code back to use the old plugin, I can successfully use javascript to control the player in the desktop version of IE, but since the plugin is not installed on the WinMo6 device, I cannot bring the page to load the player in PocketIE.
Has anyone come across this before, or is there any reference documentation for the new ActiveX plugin, similar to the old Windows Media Player for PocketPC SDK that Microsoft had for PocketPC 2002 way back when?
Any input here would be much appreciated, I have trawled this forum and the internet for two days now, but unfortunately information is very sparse. I am stuck with PocketIE because of other requirements for the project, so switching to Opera or SkiFire is not an option I am afraid.
Thank you very much in advance for any pointers!
Mike
Other options
Hi again,
since no-one seem to have an idea to circumvent this particular challenge, can anyone suggest an alternative? I would be willing to skin the plugin, or use any other means of controlling audio in a web page through JavaScript.
I hate the fact that we have to work with Pocket IE on this, but at least it means that whatever solution we go for will need to work only on this platform and not across a variety of handsets / browsers.
Very grateful for any thoughts, opinions, advice,
Thanks again!
Mike
