Windows Media Player Mobile 11.X, what's new? - General Topics

I only have WMP 10 on in my ROM and I haven't seen any version of WMP11 cabed anywhere.
Does anyone have an idea of what's new in 11.x?
Latest version I've seen is 11.2 but from what I can tell it looks 100 % identical to WMP 10.3 that is installe don my phone.
The 1x.xstep up suggest something pretty major though so I'm guessing MS has done some work under the hood.
Performance?
Codec/Filetype support?
Video or audio quality?
Does anyone have an idea or does anyone know if it's possible to install it (ie rip it out of a ROM that contains it)?

So you actually use WMP? compared to TCPMP or some of the other mediaplayers it does barely anything useful.

hey can ya provide me da link to download 11.2? even i use WMP bt havnt tried nethin other that 10.3 yet
thanks

I use Core Player and PocketTV (since the current core player doesn't support mpeg2).
Still, I've only used WMP 10.3, so that's why I'm asking if anything is improved in 11.2.
One reason for using it is that it "connects" with HTC Home and other media players (besides HTCs own) don't. Ie you can control WMP through the Home interface.
In any case: I just want to know what, if anything, has changed.
Also: Personally I really like the desktop WMP and I've always been a fan of using the apps that are built in to the OS (or at least developed by the same company as the OS) whenever possible.
So if WMP 11.2 is a step in the right direction then I would really like to know

I'm also looking for a link. I've only seen it in a screenshot of a cooked ROM based on the latest WinCE OS.
I don't really intend to flash my unit as it's not mine but if it's possible to "extract" it from another ROM and build a cab installer then that would be great.

Seriously, no one has used it?

So even if no one seems to have actually used it, does anyone have the app to share (in case you can install it seperately)

Here is my thread about new WMP version

Blackjack's WMP for other devices?

I have scoured the net looking for an answer to this and I am really not able to find much information at all.
I am looking for information regarding the version of Windows Media Player that the Cingular Blackjack uses. I want to know if it's possible to get that version of the player to work on other devices.
I have never used the player, I have only seen screenshots of it. If it works as good as it seems it would, I think I would love to have this on my 8525.
Can anyone shed some light on the mystery of this elusive WMP version?
TIA

divx player for touch pro

this is a very nice player which plays divx movies

For people having problems to download this file: Try another browser instead of Internet Explorer.
I could download it with Firefox, but when I tried to download it at a friends place with IE, it failed.
So I tried it at home with IE, also problems.
Tried it again with Firefox: No problem
have no problem downloading it with IE7..
you should ditch firefox. its the most sucky browser there is.. go check Opera if you insist on having a better browser as this is the only one better then IE7.

I hope you're joking! IE7 is terrible. Firefox is vastly superior and can be customised nicely! Opera is great on the PC (Not a huge fan of it on the PPC though); If you want speed, Safari is what you need!
Regarding the Dixv player, there is a slightly newer version available HERE

I just tried this out and was very surprised to note that it played a full size 700 mb movie as well as Coreplayer with "QTV Display". I was only expecting it to be as good as "directdraw" on coreplayer, slow and jittery.
Has anyone tried this program with the TV Out cable? I wonder if it would still have the blue flicker reported when using Coreplayer and TV Out.

Great, I hope it works. Based on the reviews on Coreplayer and it's TV Out, I'd kind of lost hope on video performance for this phone.
I installed it and got a message that it is outdated and go to mobile.divx.com to get the updated player. The problem is that it requires a login and gives no option to "join". How can I get the updated player??

I have a TV-out cable, and I can confirm that the Divx player doesn't have any blue flicker like Coreplayer.
i dl'd the file and it said i installed the wrong file even though i installed the right cab file.
Thanks Guys,
I think the link should have been Here instead.
How long does it run for before it expires?

Awesome. Can someone confirm the video quality over TV Out with this program? The two questions I have specifically are the following: Does the processor slow down any further when exporting via tv out - or does the tv out hardware take over? Also - when exporting to a widescreen tv, does the image stretch to the right aspect ratio, or does it only get wide making the image look fat?
Sorry P0ll0L0c0 unable to confirm TV Out performance as I don't have a cable, I can confirm that the app's not bad, it does however reset your backlight settings to 5 mins on battery and 10 mins on power but forgets to return them to original settings on exit.
Other than that, good work.
D.
got my pro and the tv-out cable today.
from what i can say is that the divx player sucks big time
coreplayer is the one to go for. but yes, i also have that blue flickering when using qtv. any fix for it already? still using the o2 stock rom if that matters.

I guess it must depend on the file. I've got a 700 mb copy of Hellboy that plays just as good on the divx player when compared to coreplayer using qtv. Since qtv doesn't work with tv out due to the blue flicker, the divx player has the advantage in my opinion.
I'm now tempted to buy a tv out cable to see how good output will be - but I think they're overpriced right now.
The Divx player stutters with every avi file I've tried on my device. Core player on QTV setting is by far the best (although you get the blue flicker on TV-Out). It's not too bad on the Direct Draw setting when using TV-Out, watchable.
Hopefully the next release of Core Player will solve this issue.
Guys I just chimed in on this thread. I just got my 8gig card and now I want to try out a movie on my phone. I have the latest version of TCPMP installed on my phone. Should I go with the Coreplayer you guys have been talking about on this thread? Also I don't understand what you guys were talking about in using the tv out input etc... I am switching from a Palm Treo to the Pro and I am trying to use this phone for all it's worth. Please help me. Thanks!!!!

seems like u can either use coreplayer or the divx player on our devices. There is just a conflict weather it works with our phones TV/out. (Our phones can output video to a TV with a special cable)
im interested in this. Installing the divx player now to test some 700mb movies.

WMP hijacking BT controls in some custom builds

I think is should be the correct forum for this. If any of you use core player, nitrogen, pocket music, or whatever, you'll notice that windows media player often hijacks your bluetooth controls. I've noticed this in quite a few pre cooked roms, but not when I cook my own using the kitchen. Is this a bug or a feature of the chefs and can it be disabled?
What you want is a stock "BTHCI.DLL", if i recall correctly

To clarify what Da_G just said . . .
Da_G said:

the stock BTHCI.DLL for WM 6.1/Raphael does as you describe. WMP is always controlled by AVRCP, no matter what player you're using (unless it's HTC Music Player). The modified BTHCI.DLL that Da_G provided for WM6.5 corrects that "issue" by allowing other media players to access AVRCP control. However, this breaks the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player.
If you prefer to use the 6.5 BTHCI.DLL file, I made a cab install of it:
T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab
Thanks to Da_G for providing the updated driver!
P.S. The reason you don't have the issue when cooking in Da_G's 6.5 Kitchen is because Da_G included it in the "Mods" folder.
wow man, you guys rock. Thanks G and thank you captain for the cab. You guys and this community just make every visit fantastic. Thanks a lot for this. Windows media player was driving me nuts.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro and was a little frustrated that I couldn't use the AVRCP controls from my BT8010 with my favorite mp3 player Pocket Music. When I found this thread, I was excited to use the T-Back 6.5 BT Driver and it worked very well! The play/pause and skip/next features work well within PocketMusic! However, now in order to get the audio to play through my bluetooth headset, I need to go to my Bluetooth settings and disconnect then connect my BT8010 before it works.
Has anyone run into this problem too?
Caption_Throwback, You are my Hero!!!!! I have been without AVRCP controls since last May. I use Pocket Player, as it has many controls that I need, but I've been frustrated by their lack of support on this problem.
I will be sending you $$ tomorrow morning.
Wendy, now in N. Calif, but a Bristol Gal born & raised!
Da_G & Captian_Throwback, YOU GUYS are True PPC PIMPS..
Thanks....
thank you for this!
it this "only" for WM6.5?
would be nice for WM6.1 too
Works on 6.1

I'm on an at&t fuze, WM6.1, works like a charm. I mean, all the time, everytime. I use Pocket Player from Conduits for my media player. I have Forward xx seconds and Pause/play again. Life is Good! ps, I don't use Windows Media player, so can't say if it works or not.
you are so right - thank you so much
Thanks for this cab file - I've been looking for an answer for this for ages!
I've installed the cab and bt headset no longer starts up wmp, but still cannot get it to control Coreplayer - do I need to set it up somehow elsewhere, like ACRCP app, and if so, what settings should I use?
Many thanks

It works fine with CorePlayer for me without doing anything. Did you soft reset after installing the cab and/or restart CorePlayer?
Yes mate - done all that. I am using Energy rom 6.5
Maybe I'll try reinstalling Coreplayer or something
Just found this thread and wondering if it will help me. I am presently using NRG's energy ROM for the touch diamond 2 (6.5)
Since going to the 6.5 ROM, BT control only links to WMP but I want it to link to HTC Audio Manager. Will this cab have the desired effect?

Sorry, dont know too much about this but you say it breaks the functunality for htc audio player - it is already not responding to this program. My aim is to disable windows media player funtionality and then somehow create a link to htc audio manager. It probably cant be done but this is one of the few posts I have found that offered a glimmer of hope.
hope they resolve the issue on future ROMs

Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways .
The BT driver included in the ROM you're using is the same one posted in this thread as a cab. It enables AVRCP for all other players (and prevents WMP from launching when trying to use AVRCP controls with another app), but doesn't work with the HTC Music Player. The "stock" BT driver will restore the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player, but if you want to use a player other than that one or WMP, then AVRCP won't work at all; it'll simply launch WMP.
P.S. Just to clarify - with the stock BT driver, WMP does NOT override HTC Music Player AVRCP control. So if that's all you're trying to accomplish (for it to behave as the stock ROM), that is doable.

Well i just installed it on my Magic with the latest cyanogenmod through ADB.
It works fine except for the landscape mode (it will cut out a part of the menu) and the widget ( probably because of the screen resolution )
Nice find
Thank you for posting the link. Just installed it on my droid and everything is running great with the exception of some of the movies not being displayed in full screen. About a half a centimeter is left blank on the right of the videos. Other than that it has a pretty nice UI and works well.
This would be the PERFECT Media player IF it had a quick scroll function for lists
hi to all
Above all I tried by myself but I do not understand
I would like to know if someone is able to resize widget nemoplayer because it is expected to resolve the acer liquid but not the hero what a shame for the player by itself works very well
He said that the office is full
thank you in advance
Works perfectly on my Droid! Only problem is that it's kind of slow when selecting something or scrolling through the list.

Its smooth with no lag on MT3G and G1
Cant wait for that snap dragon NeXus to be released.
Works fine, but at the end of once song the player stops.
Is there any way to resize the widget for smaller screens like mt3g?
what kind a video file this nemoplayer can read? my avi video cant play
any resolution?
On my Acer Liquid the Nemo Player was active in the background all the time and used a lot of cpu, so I removed it. Don't want applications running and using cpu even if I never use them. There are a lot of mediaplayers that can do the same as Nemo, without the cpu-usage all the time.
Can you check in LogCat if nemo is active all the time even if never used?
i experienced the same thing... it slows down the whole system. every time i start it it scans the whole sd card for media files which takes quite long (i have about 5 gigs of music on the sd) and slows down the app...
Works great on the N1.

HTC YouTube WVGA for TG01?

I have looked on these and other forums for a working cab of the htc youtube from the touch hd or the blackstone that works on the TG01 but haven't manage to find a working one. I installed the latest certs and htc framework but still cannot play video. It a shame as the quality of the videos is really good. I remember when I had my blackstone the quality on the wvga screen was fab on the tg01 is got to be smoother and better hey?
If someone has ported this can you be so kind to point me in the right direction?

In CorePlayer theres YouTube supports, just change the setting to hight quality and you are set to go.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I know that, the version that I have of core player is the original one that comes with the rom. I have upgraded to the newer version but felt it was too slow and benchmarked a lot less that the original one. Unfortunatly the original version does not have the youtube feature working. I still think that the videos look a lot better and the UI is much nicer with the HTC version. I have tried the TP2 version but it doesn't work either. Do I need anything else installed apart from the HTC framework and the certs do you think? It all installs fine and shows the videos but when I try to play them it says that the videos cannot be played error. Again, thanks for replying.

I don't know what to say but omg. How did you get this ?!! I've been looking everywhere for a youtube app after trying MVU Mobile Browser and youtubeplayer. I looked on youtube and kept saying your device isn't supported (TG01). Google didn't return any results for any youtube native apps for windows mobile.
I've installed it and honestly didn't expect it to work, but it does! The only problem is though is that since youtube have updated their mobile website, the quality is much better than what is streamed on the native apps, such as the one I've just downloaded from your post. There doesn't appear to be a HQ button on the app so I guess it's streaming from 3GP.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Hopefully, it will be a long while yet before Windows Mobile is actually abandoned, even though various sources state that development has come to an end for the platform.
BTW, Youtubeplayer doesn't work for me either, hence why I started to use MVU Mobile Browser as my youtube FLV downloader - playback still doesn't seem to work in coreplayer

Officially confirmed from COREPLAYER that Google has changed anything on Youtube and after that, COREPLAYER can't play Youtube videos. They say that next Coreplayer release will fix it (paying?? )
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2746&p=11146&hilit=youtube+fails#p11146
I've downloaded the last official Youtube app for WM
Only avilable from the phone: http://m.youtube.com/app , and I also think that quality image has been improved, but not for all the videos (I can't understand why...). Besides, looks great on our big screen!!
So, I've just deleted youtubeplay from my device and perhaps Coreplayer will be the next, as I prefer TCPMP
(On the other hand if you have your own videos on Youtube, you can watch them easily with the new app. Not possible with Youtubeplay)

Thanks, and does youtube work on the lastest version? Cheers
P.S. I can't believe we have to pay to upgrade coreplayer!! Even though it comes free with the phone. I have a good mind not to bother to be honest because I'd rather support the developers here than let coreplayer have my money. Problem is though, it seems google keep changing the way video is streamed on their servers all the time, causing playback issues with our software.
