I am using LolitaBlue and it works awesome. Problem I am having is when I play any movie in WMP after about 30-60 sec the phone locks and turns off the movie. I have tried every setting in the S2U settings and in the power management and still cant get it to stay on while running WMP.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Try S2P 0.58 of A_C!
http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
This is the version i am currently using.
if you are trying to play full length movies, you should download pocket tv. i use it to watch full movies saved on my memory card and it works great. there is a free version that only requires that you register. i dont use s2p so im not sure how it affects pocket tv, but its worth a try for mpeg files.
pocket tv
where can i get that program?
Searching for it. (Literally what I would do if you ask me for me. I'd search for it and just provide you a link, therefore saving you from doing the searching yourself.)
*Hint: It's the first result you get when you search for it.

I'm after a decent media player that is suited to playing podcasts. The problem I have at present, using WMP is most podcasts I listen to last over an hour, I listen to them on my way to work, which is about 50 minutes. This means I never listen to a whole show the way through, and then I have trouble remembering where I was up too...
So, long story short, I want a player that I can bookmark where I'm up to, or atleast that remembers where I'm up to. It would also be quite good if I can queue podcasts up, so when I'm wedged on the tube, I don't need to get my M5000 out to start the next one.
Oh yes, it needs to me WM5 compatible and preferably work in portait and landscape modes.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Search for Mortplayer. I d/l 3.5 hour podcasts and it works very well.
Hello,
I purchased a NAS recently and have set about storing all my data. Also included in the upgrade were a new N router and N card for the laptop. The N stuff runs at 270Mbps which means I can now stream DVD/HD content onto my laptop (and a HD tele when I get one!). Anyways, I also convert DVDs to WMVs for my PDA, sad I know but I do it and use it.
So eventually I thought about about this; can I install a DVD player on my pda so I can stream it over my wifi network. I've looked all over the web and found nothing. Is there anyone out there with the same idea or least got a name of some DVD software for my PDA?
Cheers in advance...
Oh by the way, so far I must have at least 20-30 apps on my PDA and each one of them has been free, I would very much like to keep this record spotless!

windows media encoder can help you with the actual streaming, try it (should be free of charge).
now you need to think of something that will help encode your dvd into the media encoder, live of course.
will be happy to hear about the final solution you've found.
good luck...!
I cannot believe I got response so quickly! Only joined up recently but been reading this forum for a long time. I'll check out your suggestion shlomki and thanks for your quick response.
Ill post my findings, or further questions!
If Windows Media Encoder doesnt work, try VLC. www.videolan.org
Ok, so downloaded media player encoder, very confused but ran checkup utility and I do not have an appropriate dvd player on my laptop. My intervideo one started playing up so had to remove it. Now using AVSDVDPlayer. Moved on to VLC media player, thanks vlodeck for suggestion. Firslty the playback is much better than the AVSDVDPlayer, I struggled to broadcast a stream but I think I could sort it over time. I'll push on with that.
Still, I'm not quite sure these are the routes I want to take. I upgraded my PDA to wm6 recently and found I could no longer play my wmv's in TCPMP. After scouring through this forum I found all I needed to do was download these two DLL's and drop them into my windows folder on the PDA. Something to do with renaming codecs in wm6. I was hoping I could do this again, say download DVD codecs and drop them in the windows dir, then hoping to go to "open" and then be able to select a VOB file from either TCPMP or windowsmediaplayer.
The VLC method seems like I need to interact or at least save files that I wish to broadcast when really, I would just like to access VOB files on my NAS via the PDA with a vob player.
Any help and suggestions are more than welcome, either with what has been suggested already or new ones!
Cheers.
got the vlc player to broadcast so I can view the strem on my pc on wmp. the next problem i encounterd was on my ppc. used the same url on ppc wmp as pc one and no joy
anyone had this part working??
cheers
I love my iPhone because it can be my media player and my phone. But, I need more functionality offered in Windows Mobile.
So, do you guys use your Windows Mobile device as a Media Player? Or do you have separate Zunes/iPods/etc. to do the work of the media player?
If you do use Window Mobile, let me know what program you use for your media!
TCPMP is an excellent media player. I have not found an unlocked audio or video file it could not play. If you search for TCPMP in this forum or in the XDA-Developers Wiki you'll find most anything you'd want to know.
That said, while TCPMP is a nice player, it is not an organizer nor does it have a fancy "choosing" function for selecting files. Perhaps someone could recommend an application that makes launching TCPMP more intuitive.
Both have their place
I've got a Zune 30 that I bring along when I know I'll want plenty of music to choose from. My main reason is that battery life on my Tilt is not what I'd like it to be because my 8 gig sd card has plenty of room for tunes, and S2P is one of the slickest programs I've ever seen. You would be comfortable with it immediately. I do listen to Audible content (newspaper) on my phone every morning with the Kinoma player. It's actually easier to get the content onto my phone than to get it on my Zune. Audible's manager program blows hard. The Kinoma player can handle pictures, video, and streams as well. I use it for Youtube all the time.
As an added bonus for us Zune owners, I recently discoverd that ZunePass subscription content can be synched to our phones with Windows Media Player and plays just fine in either WMP or S2P, so I have been putting more music on the SD card lately.
on those occasions when i only want to carry one device then I use S2P to play audio files on my Trinity.
S2P on the Tilt for music, TCPMP for movies. Done.
Is s2p free? What media formats does it support? Is it A2DP compatible? And does it have any way of controlling music in standby mode (Can you click the D-Pad while the screen is off to skip a song??? Can you control volume using the toggle switches?
Thanks for the tips guys!
I use the HTC Audio Manager, which has a very similar interface to the classic iPod. You can use the D-Pad to control it and the volume switch to change the volume (but I think the device has to be on)
It supports A2DP.
You can also control it from the home screen (http://www.unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/htc-touch-diamond-official.jpg)
Kinoma Player
I've used this free program called Kinoma Player which is brilliant.
It has full touch friendly interface, it can stream youtube files, supports many other files, it's great overall, even has podcasts.
I'd recommend that program, you can get it off of Windows Mobile Total Access or from Kinoma's sight directly.
Hey, about the ZunePass stuff, my subscription music doesn't work on my T-Mobile Wing. Any clue why? probably cuz of the DRM's but you guys said urs worked, so it leaves me wondering.
Do you sync ur Zune music to your phone using Windows Media Player sync? Or do you just drag & drop the music to ur card?
Sync the ZunePass content through WMP
and it should work. At least that is what works for me.
has anyone actually used the kinoma play program on their phone there is an add for it here just wondering what others think of it
Yeah, i've tried Kinoma Play.
Good-looking player. But cant play movies.
U have to buy the pro version...
Plays almost anything.
I'm not sure what he's talking about it not playing movies. The only mobile format that I've had trouble with is AVI. I don't really undersatnd why it doesn't play it, but it doesn't. So I dl'd pocket Divx for those.
I use Kinoma for almost all of my YouTube watching, music listening, and picture viewing. I have an Audible account, so I use it to stream the morning paper every day, as well as audiobooks for the ride home. I also use it with my Orb software to stream music and movies from my home desktop. My only real complaint is that the menu system is kind of clunky. You have to press back, back, back to return to the main menu. There ought to be a shortcut to the main menu. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.
I did end up getting the paid version, but I didn't actually pay for it. They have a TrialPay link, so I signed up for a trial of RealPlayer, got the software, then cancelled the trial a couple days later.
Hope this helps your decision
If it can't play .avi files, I'd say that player sucks. Better check out Core Player first for your Pocket PC. Don't even waste your time.
I found this thread too, more information about it and the BUGS it has: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433026&highlight=kinoma+player
They don't support any type of AVI files, if you read through Kinoma's forum the creators say that it is too much trouble to support AVI due to all the variants of codec. They also state that most movies/TV shows that are pirated are in AVI format and they seem to be taking the moral highground over supporting it.
Very good as a music only player though, very swish interface.
I absolutely love Kinoma. I bought the pro version since.. well, I love it. I don't like watching movies on my phone AT ALL, so that's not a problem for me. The Internet radio feeds, podcasts and Flickr, Youtube, Audible, Orb, idisk and other features are awesome. I'd gladly pay for it again.
I love it! I only use Kinoma FreePlay because the Pro version offers me nothing more that I need. Ever since I installed it and found old MacGyver episodes, I've been doing a lot less work.

Also see my related remarks in my past articles.
I posted this in the old Atrix 4G forum, before this existed. I now have an a partial answer to C. More comments / questions embedded.
I just came from the Windows Mobile world and needed to research how to listen / watch live streams.
A) Trying to listen to streaming audio (mp3) from a webpage. Leaving the web browser stops the audio. Besides trying to find the stream in a separate program, is there a browser (or other way) to keep the music playing?
B) Is there a way to keep the music streaming with the screen off (to save battery power)?
>>Item A/B I have yet to find a webbrowser which will continue to play in the background or stream with the screen off. Other music programs do work.
C) Is there a way to get embedded WMV/WMA (http/mms/.wmv/.wma/.asx/.asp) to stream, embedded or kicked off from a webpage?
I still can't fine a program which a browser will kick off if the browsers doesn't support it internally for an embedded media file. Any ideas?
Regarding entering in URLs directly. Using XiiiaLive I am able to stream a *.pls file and *.asx file. And in order to get the *.asp file to work, I'm able to open the file in a webbrowser, which then kicks off XiiiaLive and it works.
Unfortunately, it only plays the audio of video streams (even an *.wma) and on a recorded stream, you still can't fastforward or rewind. This is the only program I have found on the market that seems to support the various playlists / wrappers. I haven't found such a player for video.
In order to play WAV voicemail files in email, I used Remote Wave. It currently has a bug, that you need to kill it between uses. They are working on it.
I have been using the phone during my runs and out of 6 runs I have yet to have music last the whole time. I have used iheart and I have used the radio and both times after about 15-25 mins it will stop. Don't know.if lose signal or if runkeeper is doing it but it pisses me off.
Do you have task manager set to kill any apps or your music player. If so that could be the cause.
No. Why would that help? Think too many going on so system shuts it down?
No I had similar problems with my OG. When I set it to kill a few apps I had accidentally set it to automatically shut off my music payer also and it drove me crazy till I found it.
