I just downloaded and installed Orb on my home PC and after a few minutes setting up i can now remotely access my Sky+, VCR, DVDs and photos, music documents and videos on the PC all from my MDA Pro (or indeed any broadband connected PC) anyware its connected to the internet.
It uses Internet explorer and Windows media player on the PPC so there isn't even any software to install in our precious memeory.
And it WORKS (You need a media centre type pc to get live tv streamed) Considering how complex this all is I was amazed that for once it all worked with out hours of endless tweaking, and its free.
If only the media player display was proper full screen...sigh
www.orb.com
i tried to get it working but it wouldn't see my tv card :sigh:

I set it up to use TCPMP, which plays full screen.

How do you set TCPMP to be the default player for the various media? I read a couple of posts in various forums that say that media player starts up for live streams from orb even with TCPMP installed
Not got it in front of me right now, but I belive I simply set the file associations in TCPMP to handle the streams.

Just set asx of file associate to TCPMP in option menu.
But best way should be upgrade your rom to WM6.
The Windows Media Player 10 boundle in WM6.
It's support full screen and more smooth than TCPMP in streaming play.

When I want to stream videos due an GPRS connection. I stream with MyOrb, it shows only the video in a small venster in window media player. Is there an hack to stream fullscreen. I think it has something to do with the VGA screen. On my Ipaq 4150 with wm2003 I stream the video full screen
At the moment you have to use another player, for example TCPMP (freeware)

Could someone post a link to where i can download TCPMP freeware for WM20005. thanks
ArgyleMoss: is there any reason why you couldn't use Google for that?

Dear guys,
I have a little question ..
Each time i look to files on my jasjar and when i put it on full screen, it stills stays quite little..
Is there a way to get a movie on real full screen ???
Thanks !
Use TCPMP for Windows Mobile, its a freeware from here http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=224#r224
Sadly TCPMP doesn't support streaming video, which I use WMP for a lot, but cannot play full screen. I do use tcpmp for playing files of my SD card and it works VERY well.
Is there any way to get streaming working with TCPMP? Failing that is there a different player that will do the job?
OK - Update:
The latest TCPMP (0.71) does support streaming, but when I try to use it I get an "Unknown File Type" error.
I'll keep playing with it.
Which file do I use?
Is it this one? tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip
And then which cab file do I use and how?
O2 Exec user.
I'm assuming this will allow video playback and recording to use the full screen. Correct?
Many Thanks.
Use ac3.cabs.0.71 for the codec and tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71 for the player.
Hi, I have looked everywhere for this problem but no solution. I have a wizard and I want to stream windows media music and videos from my computer thru wifi. but it keeps saying ''parameter is incorrect''. I've always played music from my computer with other pocket pcs but not this one. has anyone found a solution or tweak to do this? is it a windows mobile 5 problem? thanx for any help.
How are you streaming? Using SMB shares or are you using Windows Media Encoder or the like of? If SMB shares, check you can browse the directories first.
As far as i know, Media Player can't handle networking.
I use Conduits Pocket Player. It's not free, but IMO it is the best i have tried. It's has the best format support, handles gapless playback and has plugins for album art etc.
There are free good players around, but i have not tested them with streaming, although i believe GS Player can.
TCPMP is free can also player files accross a network, but it's more of a video player really.
i tried all the time to watch streaming in the media player
like
mms://
but the media player find the streaming but only audio is on
the video i cant see why?
do i need codec or somthing???
playlists in wmp
can someone tell me how to add my songs which are in the storage card to the playlist so that I do not need to go down to the file explorer?
What I did was the following!!
I added the songs to the library but nothing seems to be there! But there are 128 songs it has searched///
i know i am missing somethng out there but what I do not know///
streaming

In my case, i get the video but not the sound>>>> Interesting.... I also used mms:// location to load the video file... Windows Media Player 10 for mobile is not the same as that of windows-xp one ... however, they should not miss the basic things...
any ideas boys and girls... on this issue..
Hi, in you media player options, go to the network tab, and set it to 128 or higher, and uncheck detect internet connection speed, it should play video then.
your the best its working
thanks my friend
thank you also. It works great
does anybody know where to find vlc player ppc.... the official site doesn't offer anymore... if you have it then please give me...
I've read that it's highly unstable. You can get the last draft here:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/wince/vlc-0.8.4-test1-20051012-0130-wince.zip
If you're looking for a video player, I'd recommend TCPMP very strongly. For audio, MortPlayer (for various reasons such as supports more than wmv/mp3, has built-in screen sleep mode and button mapping, is easy to re-skin).
What was your intended use for VLC?
I agree TCPMP is a great player, used it for a long time on my ipaq, and now on my wizard, just works great
Myrddin wyllt,.. I was kinda looking for good decoders for live streaming. I love to watch live tv over wifi, watching anime, basketball, news and etc... though wmp, tcmp, streaming video, core player, or even the mplayer ( doesn't support sound with wma streaming) don't offer that much decoders.. like rstp: streaming 3gp or mms streaming mp4... and I'm even hoping that there would be a divx stream for ppc! I wish.
I had all but lost hope for this... but then I heard that vlc ppc was also able to stream video... I was hoping that it would support all decoders.. IF NOT I"ll just copy the Plugins from the VLC (PC VERSION) then put in the vlc ppc directory...
IF i came up with an error in vlc streaming then i'll try copying the plugins... though i don't know if it will work or not? But who knows.
Though if i made some mistakes, please please correct me (thats the only way i'll learn)
I HAVE GOOD DAY!
Thumb Up! TCPMP and MortPlayer!
If you want to stream 3GP through RTSP/HTTP, just use the HTC Streaming Media.
For wma streaming...why don't you use WMP?

WMP supports all lot but sometimes it doesn't work, Audio works but no video... and in mplayer support video but no wma....
BTW... IS htc streaming media the same as streaming media... I downloaded a WM6 rom onto my 8125 and got a streaming media software with it... IS IT the same as htc streaming media or an upgraded version?...

If you're looking for a Divx stream, DIVX.COM now has a mobile player. I haven't tested it that much, but the desktop version will play almost anything I throw at it!

VLC Player for PPC
Hi, am looking out for a ppc player which could play .VOB formats without conversion. I believe VLC Player can do the job. TCPMP is not supporting VOB. Help anyone? thanks.
just buy core player. it is really worth it.

Yeah. There is only VLC Remote wich allows u to control VLC running on your pc/Mac via your PPC. And VLC Remote is only for WebOS (as i could find).

are these «nightly's» automatically generated by some software daily? if not, then who's posting them? or rather, wth are they? I cant figureout how to install them. whatever this vlc for winmo is, not holding my breath for it. I just wish vlc for android gets released soon, as it was announced last month but is still nowhere to be found. all I need is the ability to time stretch (fast playback speed at normal pitch/tone), but so far there's still no mobile programthat can do this on either WinMo or Android. sigh..
