is there an option fo rit?
i assumed the icon on the top right was it but every time i press it my fone crashes and i have to reset (pressing the reset button, is that the safest way without data loss??)
im using the default media player from the box from o2 UK
thanks
i dont know if this can be done, but try and get the cab file for wm10 from a 1.40rom, and install that , i would imagine it would install over the old version. im sure one or more of the pro's on here will tell u if u can do it, it might solve the reset thing.
'fraid not! The WMP 10 is coded into the CE ROM (1.40) and not a separate cab file....
A lot of XDA IIs users are happy with the 1.40 Rom and 1.13 radio (particularly now with the unidirectional patch as well) and it might be worth considering an upgrade without all that O2 cr*p on!
Follow the advice given in the wiki (link at the top left of the page).
my media player 9 and media player 10 both do this on certain videos. I think our phones just dislike certain files. Try opening a different video.
I know it's a little off of the topic subject but have you considered the TCPMP media player instead of Windows Media Player as in my opinion it is far better for video than WMP 10 is?

Sorry if this has been asked already, but none of my searches yielded any results, so here's my question:
Is there a way, and if so what's the easiest way, to put Windows Media Player 10 on my PDA2K?
I am also looking for methods to install WMP 10 in XDA IIs. can anyone please help getting it out from the magician, or some other pda with wmp 10. please help...
Right now, it isn't possible. WMP is deeply rooted in the operating system, and unless HTC issues an update, chances of getting it done are about nil.
Microsoft's way to make people regret buying their $650 powered product... and for investing twice that in a Media Center PC...
until now.. 2005 still no WM10? this is crap...

Seems the only potential way is to port Magician ROM over to XDA2 or XDA2s. Even that, it will be a long time coming. Hard to find someone with all the devices, and with deep understanding of the device drivers. I reckon that there quite a number that works only for Magician that will failed when used in XDA2/XDA2s.
Right you are, Magician has several different hardware components that will make this difficult, or in my opinion, impossible.
For one, Magician has a different Bluetooth hardware, and two, the device keys have different hardware (internal layouts at least). Anyways, HTC is actually very good in keeping current with ROM updates, I doubt we won't see WMP10, the only question is if it will be before WM2005 or not.
The only stumbling block to WM2005 on Blue Angel is the DIMCOMM (oops, sorry, Widcomm) hardware. It's up to if M$ will approve WM2005 devices that do not use their supported BT hardware (which would be every BT that isn't Widcomm-based).
Yes, Bluetooth in the device could prevent us from getting WMP10. But hey, that's Microsoft for you...
I don't really get it. I can't see why the player needs to be adapted to hardware. The pocket PC os has the sound drivers. Why cant they make a version 10 install thing?
Why do u all need that WMP10 ? Whats what u cant do w WMP9 ?
So Windows Media Player 10 is necessary for better DRM handling. There are several Video and Audio services that are not available with Series 9.
For instance, I buy all my music via Napster. Napster uses WMA format and even though Windows Media Player 9 supports WMA, I cannot play my DRM protected WMA without burning a CD and re-encoding it. I can actually play them from the XDA, but I can't play them from my 1gb sd card so it isn't very helpful. Also Windows Media Player 10 allows us to download from music rental services. Napster 2.0 or Napster to go costs 15 bucks a month and allows you to download about 1gb of music without paying 99 cents per song.
There are similar video drm schemes that demand windows media player 10 too. There are video rental sites that will allow you to download video and save them to your Windows Media Player 10 enabled device.
people download this stuff illegally those who choose to follow the law would really like to have Windows Media Player 10.
I see, this is A reason, i didnt think into this 'coz i never bought music from ms or apple. Now i understand ur side thanks ;-)
Hi I would like to ask you guys if someone can help me to find a good media player for my XDA II? I would like to ask you also about real player and pocket DivX. When I'm intalling those two applications both ask me ->
would you like to replace the existing file "\Windows\gx.dll" modified on 9/25/2003 with this one? modified on 05/23/2002 then on both installation i pressed "No"(the options are Yes, No, Yes To All, No To All).
So what i would like to ask you is did i choose the right option, because I'm assuming that my existing file is better because it is newer than the file offered by both of the program?
PocketDivx: because when I tried to play the .mpg file under PocketDivx the picture was going very well but there is no sound and also at the end of the clip it makes my XDA II freezing so I have to do reset to be able to get out of that application.
Real Player: Both sound and and picture went well, it just don't play my .mpg file(the same file that I run under PocketDivx)
Is there any player available for XDA II that able to play all type of file?
Regards,
Willy
Try PocketMVP For mpg,mpeg,avi,mp3,ogg,........PocketTV offers extra options for mpeg files .............. 8) As for AMR files , Try Philips platform4 player

Also, it's worth having a look at Beta Player.
Cheers,

Thanks guys for your participation
Well... as I'm a new user of XDA II, could you please guide me how to install the last version of Beta player step by step? and could you please also let me know which file should i run as i'm going to use it in XDAII? because I've finished downloading 2 types of beta player the first one is "betaplayer.arm.cabs.STABLE.0.5" but it seems to me they are only bunch of ".cab" files without any setup.
and the second one is "betaplayer.setup.STABLE.0.5.exe"
The "betaplayer.*.cabs.*.zip" - Contains all the install .cab files for different types of device (arm,mips,sh3). No PC or ActiveSync needed. Cab file should be launched on the device itself.
The "betaplayer.setup.STABLE.0.5.exe"Standalone install for PocketPC or HPC devices. It should be launched on the PC when the PDA is connected via ActiveSync.
so which one should I choose to use(which one better?)?
Regards,
Willy
I would use the stable version otherwise you may have glitches with the beta release.

Just run the .exe. It contains the same Beta Player version as the .cab, just wrapped up in a PC installer. The .cab version is for PocketPC owners who have no PC (Apple users, for example).

Dear Forum,
Thanks for your help I appreaciate it so much. Keep on Rock'in Here and update this Topic if you have any updates or news about the multimedia player.

is there anything like winamp for ppc 2003 w/ equalizer, etc.
http://www.winampaq.com/new/index.html
it's nice but only support mp3 so not wma and such
For mp3 and ogg...
have a look at MortPlayer. IMHO it's the best audio player available: skinable, easy to use and best of it: it's free!
For video I use the above mentioned beta player.
Greetings,
BGK
the best player is the betaplayer...
Also you may want to take a look at Pocket Music.. It supports MP3, WMA, OGG and more.. It also has 10-band equalizer, skin-changing ability, great-looking GUI and it's free! Below I include the PocketMusic app and some skins (including Winamp look-alike)
I forgot to mention (very sorry) for skin-changing ability you need the PMF Feature pack (shareware). It features additional features like skin-changing, saving, switching between EQ presets and more.. But I think PocketMusic alone is enough.. Anyway here's the file
Questions about BetaPlayer
Dear Forum,
Hi guys! I would like to ask you about the beta player. When the first time I installed the BetaPlayer there was a question about wether i would like to intall it to the main memory or storage card, I chose the storage card instead of the main memory because I thought by installing it to my storage memory it will save my main memory. I ran the program many times and it went well I'm satisfied with that program, until this afternoon I add couple of video clips into my storage card by ejecting my storage card from the XDAII and plug it into my laptop's SD slot then copy and paste it from my laptop(I did not use the crade to copy the video clips) to the storage card. When I'm done copying those files I clicked on savely remove device then I pulled out the SD card from my laptop then plug it into my XDAII then I tried run the Betaplayer but the XDAII is freezing with the processing sign or icon appear on the screen, I could not even turn the XDAII off so I had to unlplug the battery from the XDAII to turn it off. Turned the XDA back on and tried to run the betaplayer again but it didn't do anything(no reaction at all) so I decided to remove that program from the XDAII then I installed it again like the first time I did but it did not ask me again wether I want to install it to the main memory or to the storage device.
So what I would like to ask you guys is, Is it good idea to install program to the storage card instead of main memory?
Regards,
Willy
Problem with Beta Player0.5 stable
Dear Forum,
Hi all! I would like to ask you beta player user. I'm using it and i feel satisfy with that player, so far I just have one problem; sometimes it is freezing just like that, for instance this morning i played a long recorded sound with XDA II program(Album), but because the sound is too long so the XDA turned off automatically, so i turned it back on then check my battery(because i thought my battery was out at the first time), I figured out that my batter was fine so then I decided to run the beta player then i cliked the open file, then I clicked on the video clip file, suddenly the betaplayer automatically closed(the screen went to the main screen), so I tried to run it again from the tool bar of the XDA main screen but what happened was there was no reaction at all, just like nothing clicked(I've tried many times but the result still the same-no reaction at all, the betaplayer did not run at all). I checked on the running program list and did not find beta player on that list. So I had to do the soft reset(I cliked the reset button on the bottom of the PDA) to be able to run it back again. this problem has happened about 3 times since the first time I started to use this program(last thursday). and i also tried to run a video file but the beta player said that "the atimageon is out of memory please try again later or run it with a different application."
Could anyone here help me to tell what is wrong with it? or did I do anything wrong to the beta player?
my beta player is 0.5 stable version
regards,
Willy

mortplayer is the best
Best musicplayer without any doubt is Mortplayer.
Skinnable, EQ, Reverb, extra bass, echo, you name it.
Astonishing sound quality with my Senheiser MX 300 headphones, is soldered to my standard XDA 2 headset.
1- i'm using the clock on top program , and for some reason the clock doesnt show on top when your making a call or in a call.. i know in wm5 it worked, and thats probably the most important place for the clock
2- the stupid media player video issue, of it rotating every time u go into full screen mode.. i tried installing tcpmp, and it works for audio files, but for some reason u can open video files on it.. i know i used to be able to on wm5
any help would be great, thanks

What program is this exactly? Gotta link? I want to see if I can replicate the problem on my Dash.
TCPMP has known issues on WM6 and Dash but I think there are workarounds.
RE: tcpmp - it sounds like you're missing the codex for your video files. Try downloading the tcpmp complete package from http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm.
I use TCPMP all the time for watching LOTR 1 & 2 plus other avi files all the time and it works great.

The title is basically self explanatory... windows media player is realllllly slow. It's usually the only task running. I have the 6.1 rom. I try to play music off the home screen and it just takes forever to load! And bogs down the whole phone. Anyone else having this problem? I'd just use the media manager but I like having the music on the home screen...
well, you have to take into account the hardware you're using...these phones, yeah...not so beasty

Also take into account that it's "Windows" Media Player empathis on the Windows, lack of codec & streaming support old unrefined and just plain right lazy, i know what you mean about having the panel for quick eaze of access, but there are far better Media Players, Pocket Player choice for audio & CorePlayer "TCPMP is the free version" for Video, you can set up SmartToolKit with gadgets to allow quick access to your most wanted programs, some screen shots sorry they are old on stock WM6.
Hope this helps.

I use Pocket Player myself and of course TCPMP. But if your "slowing down" try cleaning out your Notification Que (use SKTools) I found over 1000 duplicate itmes in there and after I deleted them.. my Dash was speedy again
I also clean out the reg (bad values, old values etc) with SKTools fairly regulary now... it makes a huge difference.
Also open media player and go into options, network and change internet connection speed to wifi. Also uncheck detect connection speed, that will help speed it up if you do plan to use it instead of another media player.
stats555 please forgive me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure he's commenting about playing .mp3 as WMP is pretty useless to stream anything, so to change network settings isn't going to help regarding performance as i don't think WMP checks network unless streaming. Think his best bet is to get TCPMP for now and give it a try then get his hands on Pocket Player like the rest of us
I think Bupahs got it spot on cleaning up the notification que.
hello everyone, im not new to the forums but this is my first time posting. My problem is that I wish to use TCPMP in order to view streams but cannot due to Streaming Media Player being a default program. Now I have all the correct plugins for TCPMP but no matter what I do everytime I click on a flv link streaming media player pops up. I see no way to uninstall this or get around it and its getting really irritating because the video is always choppy and never connects properly. My question to you all is if there was a way to get rid of this program so that I might actually be able to use TCPMP to stream?. Or maybe even a way to save flv files and launch them from the tcpmp player? (without having to sync with pc, im on the road alot due to work)
HTC Advantage x7501 , original rom
or could I use some kind of registry tool to change or erase it? I would really appreciate any kind of help
Try to set the file associations in TCPMP.
doesn't work tried it a hundred times
