Hi,
I keep meaning to make a dedicated thread for TouchRC, but never seem to have time. I'll try and create one over the weekend. If you want the direct link for it, then it's here.
Thanks,

You can't get VmcController working? What OS are you using? There are users reporting issues with 64 bit W7.
You could also try to install Windows Sideshow on your WM (Vista PCs only). Works fine, you can add gadgets like the Windows Media Center control.
My favorite gadgets are the Powerpoint Remote and Computer Health gadget.
See http://gallery.live.com/default.aspx?pl=7 for downloadable gadgets, download the CAB here.

Edit: This works only when using bluetooth...

Would love to see a thread on TouchRC. This thread has just introduced me to it but the whole thing goes a little over my head.
I'm running the 7 RC and when I load up Media Centre it says it cannot run VMC Controller. Maybe it's best for me to wait until it comes out of beta but I'd love to be able to get this up and running!

User OldDog has posted instructions in this thread about how to get VmcController running in 7MC. I really hope they make a dedicated 7MC installer for it at some point soon!!
Hope this is of some help to you.

I've used this in the past. I don't remember it being Media Centre capable though. It's good for Windows Media Player.
Can't get on with the Windows Sideshow MC controller. It's a shame that MS can't produce something amazing for the Sideshow platform. Being limited to bluetooth is a major flaw. WiFi control is the way forward!

Hi all,
First off, check out this site I was turned on to
(Go to it on a PC though to see how it works...)
www.tv-links.co.uk
It's a TON of tv shows/movies that you can stream for free.
Click on a show... any show, and see how it opens a new IE window and streams. This is where I'm a little hazy on what's happening. I'm not sure what's going on "Html-code-wise" to know why it won't work on my Tytn.
I've tried PIE and Opera, and set them both to be recognized as a desktop, but nothing will stream the content. It does open a new window, but then nothing happens. I'm doing this over HSDPA so I don't think speed is the issue at all.
This would be a great site to be able to get to our Tytn's. Can anyone figure out how to do it, or at least tell me what is happening that is not yet supported by mobile browsers?
the flash player in WM6 is not the full fledged desktop application to my knowledge. this website utilizes some Flash 9 components that just aren't in the mobile version. (again, to my knowledge).

And this is truly a shame. I had tried months ago to view ComedyCentral's Jon Stewart clips, to no avail...for the same reason.
I wonder how long it's going to take for Adobe to give us something for WM devices that works with the new security features they've built into the newer desktop versions.

Hmmm ... Flash Player Mobile, eh? I DL'd the trial, and I'll check it out with Jon Stewart tomorrow.
Thank you VERY MUCH! I hope this works, Diem! If it does, I owe you a beer or two.

[UPDATE] OK, I installed the Flash Player Mobile app this morning, and have tried to view the ComedyCentral videos. FWIW, I still cannot view them. The site still comes up only with links to upgrade my Flash Player wherever a link to a video should be. There does not seem to be any way to DL the flash files to play them locally.
Maybe I'll browse through that second URL left by Diem, and see if I can find anything there that works.
FWIW, I left a Q with Comedy Central, explaining the issue and asking if they would/could do anything to support us users with WM devices ... maybe provide an alternative media format that will work with our devices. I'll post back to this thread if/when I hear back from them.
Also FWIW, I did NOT try to view the URL provided by the OP ... so maybe he's finding success with this app.
Sorry Diem ... no beers for you yet [/UPDATE]
so I am to understand that the flash player that comes with WM6 now is the Macromedia (Adobe) Flash ActiveX 7.0 for Pocket PC, and this mobile version does not rely on ActiveX?
Dont ask me nothing I'm just waiting for a sweet cold Heiniken

Ahhhh, but THAT deal was only good if I got to view Jon on my Hermes. As it didn't work, you'll have to be happy with H2O
So if you want a glass, come on over, I've got a whole tapful
Seriously, I wish Adobe would catch us up with their desktop offerings, or some of these video sites would post in a format we could use.
Oh well ... it is what it is. I've already got plenty of other stuff that works fine, and keeps me using my device for more hours in the day than is good for me.
-pvs
I don't think the videos shown on the tv links site that I posted have anything to do with Flash. Dapzmob was probably the closest by calling Divx. Hope you guys figure out your Jon Stewart stuff nonetheless.
In anyone knows of a player that can play Divx AND integrates with PIE through a plugin, please let me know!
There seems to be a few floating about, any recommendations?
thanks

I tried skybook and mobilizer. neither worked very well. the basics were there but they both have a long way to go. the skybook app always failed to close properly and mobilizer never seemed to open properly.
This is not really an app, but some have suggested using the facebook page for iphone. I believe it is something like iphone.facebook.com or so.
EDIT: Na, I take it back. This certainly won't help you. I just tested the iphone facebook and did not like it. It seems that it uses resolutions for the iphone and everything looks big and blurry on the HD. Besides, that was no really what you were looking for anyway.
Here you go: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=16698519604
If you are going to use Facebook on a PDA, just use "m.facebook.com"... It is a web page obviously, but is formatted better for smaller screens...
Theres one being developed by this very site!

Hey guys, so I just wanted to see if I could help a few people out here because this forum and community has given so much to me and I've probably been just mooching, lol
Anyways, I know there's been plenty of debates on whether you should pay for WMWifiRouter, and I was wondering if i could post up the .cab for the no-net version, since the regular version won't work on our dashes. I had to locate it from a Chinese website and change the extension from ".xxx" to ".cab". If I shouldn't post it up or if i shouldn't be posting this thread then delete this, haha. Version 0.91 is the most current one that is legally free, and if you don't know what WMWifiRouter is, it allows you to share your Windows Mobile phone's data connection to any wifi-enabled device, which is very handy. Thanks!
P.S. If you're going to tell me to just go buy it, well who needs a more up-to-date program when the free one works perfectly?

No, the regular version tries to create a wi-fi profile, so it won't install. Something like that lol. All I know is that WMWifiRouter doesn't install on Dashes, at least versions including and before 0.91. Or maybe I'm wrong? lol what version of WMWifiRouter do you have?
WMWifiRouter 1.25 build 600...i am using it to post this tethered to my laptop

Yeah that's 1.25 which isn't free, I posted up 0.91 which was released as freeware. Unless you're using 1.25..without paying for it somehow
PM me if you are, lol.
how about you pm me if you want it..
waiting for ics
I keep getting this message when trying to run 0.91 on my touch pro, any ideas?
so wait can we use this to receive wifi and enable laptops etc connection to the internet?
Hello. I'm sure the majority of this site know what Spotify is. And I've discovered some great stuff, that maybe could be ported to a WinMo device.
I'm really, really bad at coding, so I don't know if this is possible, but hey, why not, it's worth a try, right?
So, to the subject. Some Swedish hackers have hacked spotify and made a program to connect to their servers and stream music. It's all opensource, altough no GUI is available.
So my request is, port this program to a WinMo device, and make a nice graphical interface!
Here is the link to the program.

I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.
Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?
Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Are you using the new 2015 theme? I think there were one or two links on the old style which were like that, but it should be resolved now on the new style

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
