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

Flash Support like touch hd2

Hi folks, I'm not sure that is here the right part of forum to ask this question but I hope you help me to figure out this situation.
I watched this preview video on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMcQREDXJS4
watch out the ie rendering after 6:20 the page that browsed contains a embeded video and ie6 mobile render page like a desktop browser even it lets to play it immediately.
I'm using a htc touch diamond2 (aka:topaz) and using a cooked rom (this one) and wondering this rom contains which version of ie mobile and is it possible to integrate a ie mobile version that support flash rendering shown at video.

Guidance in developing a video player for Android

This is not a specific question. Rather, I am asking for your guidance/opinion.
I have to build a video player (that plays Youtube Video, not live streaming) using Java for Android phones.
I would like to know your opinion on:
Which library is the easiest to use and incorporate with Eclipse for developing a video player? I would like to use the Eclipse Android Emulator, if that's possible.
Can u guys suggest tutorials/howtos/books regarding such development. I am new at this, so when I try to search the Internet, I get loads of hits, which confuses me. Please provide me with a starting point.
Bye.
Use the generic class MediaPlayer (included in Android SDK, so it can be easily added to your project).

[Q] Licensing MXPlayer and professional support

Is there any licensing scheme for deploying MX player in professional environment, as well as professional support?
I'm working for a company providing multimedia solutions on healthcare environment. As part of our product offering, we have an Android-based device deployed at our customer sites and used by patients. We use specific hardware and build our own Android ROM in collaboration with our hardware provider. We're looking for a potential 3rd-party video player to integrate into our Android system. But to be a viable solution for us, that would require:
- UI customization (locked-down UI)
- validation on our hardware for the various video streams needed (VOD and Live TV, SD/HD)
- professional support
Is this something that is imaginable with MX player? I couldn't find any better place to post this thread, everything on the web seems to point here. But if there is a better place for this, could anybody please provide me with contact details?
Thanks,
Michael.

Thanks, I'd missed that in the FAQ. It's pretty clear the answer is no.

Which DB, IDE, and Format is best to use for a video sharing, cross-platform app?

I am working on a project that is somewhat similar to the way Netflix works (as a streaming service), and have the following requirements:
Database that stores video files
Create group that can access the video
Ability for Owner to invite/add users to the group(s)
Video can be played/paused, and resumed if users close and come back to watch later.
Users in the Group can watch the video at the same time
Email/push notifications whenever owner of a group uploads a new video ready for watching
Now I have last developed in Android some 4 years ago, but in terms of cross platform compatibility, e.g. iOS and Android, what is the best approach for this project?
Should I use AWS or Azure to host the database? Would SQL database work well with storing videos? Is MP4 the best format considering its wide compatibility? From my android experience, I developed an App in Android studio, but is there a better alternative to develop an app that can work for both iOS and Android at once?
