I dunno if someone did mention it, I found an audio patch avabile on the O2 Source XDA2 New ROM down page
The fuction is :
Audio Patch : This cabinet file improves the handling of streaming audio using Windows Media Player or other Music Players, while using the Xda II GPRS modem.
Without this patch, listen mp3 is almost impossible while using gprs connection and downloading data, but after installing this patch really fix the problem
Here is the download link

Is it also valid for Asia O2 ROM?
I installed it and ran internet explorer to view hotmail's email together with Windows Media 9 playing MP3.
The sound occasionally twisted a little bit but generally speaking it's working almost smoothly.

Ok, this thread is all about using Orb (or possibly other streaming media applications) on your Titan.
I currently use Orb 2.0 to stream all of my media (pictures, music, movies, videos, documents, etc) to my Titan. It works pretty well, but Windows Media player is the default player, and it's somewhat choppy and a resource hog. Some people have reported good results using TCPMP for playing media with Orb. I also use Pocket MVP for movies from my storage card, so I was wondering if that may be a good alternative as well.
My question is...what Codec is used by default to stream media?
What file associations do I need to change in TCPMP (or any other media player)?
What other codecs work, and how well (flash, etc.)
So far I have been unable to get Live TV to work through Orb, but I believe that may be a problem on the desktop app side.
With EVDO and RevA speeds getting better all the time, this is quickly going from a frustrating experiment (try watching a 2 hour movie with it stopping every 3 minutes to cache data)...to a very good replacement for having to store huge amounts of media using precious memory on your device.
I only have experience using TCPMP so I can't comment on Pocket MVP, but it works great and my be able to replace Pocket MVP for your sd card movies.
I use TCPMP v0.72 RC1 (attached below).
I check all the file type associations in TCPMP except picture files.
I set the "Manual A/V offset +/-" to -400 msec to fix A/V sync.
I change the video driver to "GDI".
Orb streams .asf files by default but if you're using WM6 or WM6.1 you'll need to copy the WM5 WMV9 codecs (also attached) to your pda's \Windows directory for Orb's .asf's to play. Be sure to restart TCPMP after this.
When TCPMP is used with the latest FlashVideoBundle (also attached) it also allows the playing of YouTube (and other) videos from pie. Just run the .cab from \My Documents, soft reset, and click a YouTube vid.
Not sure what your Orb live TV issue is, but remember only one application can have control of a capture card at a time.
Cool, thanks. I think that I figured out my TV issue. I set it up to use the ATI MPEG encoder thats built into my All-In-Wonder Video card, and it works. I'll just have to see how that works with Divix and MPEG movies, but I would think that it should be better since its a dedicated hardware encoder vs software.
I just began using Orb yesterday and it is great!!! My car stereo has built in bluetooth, so as long as Im in an EVDO area, I have access to my entire mp3 collection on the road now.
So, how well does the bluetooth work for you for stereo? With all of the bluetooth issues, I had put off buying a pair of stereo headphones....but there have definately been some improvements. At least now I can use Voice Command with some reliability
Well this looks very interesting as a solution. Does anyone have PIE remembering the password for ORB? I can not get my Titan PIE to remember the password no matter what I do, so I was thinking I need to switch to a different browser.
These aren't free, but you can try them and see if you like them:
(These solutions are for if you don't like using PIE to access ORB)
PocketStream Server:
This program comes with a GUI (although a bit choppy) for the phone, so all you need to do is connect to your computer with the app and it lists all your music/video files. It is streamed with TCPMP.
LobsterTunes:
This is what I use. Currently it only supports streaming music. It is a uPnP (Universal Plug&Play) app that can connect to any media server that supports uPnP (Orb, WMP11, TVersity). It auto sets up for you so you don't need to input anything. Just load it up and it will auto search for your computer networked sharing folder. The GUI is a lot faster than PocketStream, but it uses WMP as a backend to stream music (not changable).
Will Lobstertunes support the Internet Radio Stations under my ORB account, and thus stream them? I am all for trying something else that will work more efficiently with ORB (or any other pnp server software - as long as it works with all modalities of the pnp software).
wow... glad I came across this thread... lobster sounds EXACTLY what I was looking for... streaming media in car just isn't viable... the funny thing is, evdo is MUCH faster than streaming bandwidth but you never take advantage of that extra bandwidth when you're streaming...
this looks awesome.. it downloads your songs in the background so no skipping between towers!
Lobstertunes does support radio stations, but I'm not sure if it *sees* the ORB radio stations. Best thing to do would be to create a playlist with the radio station on it. I haven't tried it before because I use TCPMP for radio.

That's one thing I like about it. It always downloads half your available storage memory, so when it reaches that threshold, it will just overwrite previous files so you don't have to worry about wasting space.
I also came across this software:
http://www.pocket-tunes.com/
and it looks pretty slick lol, but I'm not sure if it'll work on the Titan. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime tonight. I'm looking for something to replace LobsterTunes because although it works, it's still a little slow in my opinion.
I've been using ORB since the mogul came out and previously on my Treo 700wx.
I do have to admit my 4 year old has used it more than I have...the quality while traveling on the interstate is quite impressive.
I do have to try the tcpmp, maybe it will put it over the top.
My only failure with ORB 2.0 and the old version is neither will record for me, but I'm sure it's my fault.
orb is good... I like it.. I just wish there was a software front-end for it for the ppc..
I was really excited to get lobstertunes a try but it simply does not work on my device... not quite sure why but it crashes during the login process.

I found that error too, one way to fix it is to open up lobsterconfig.txt from within the install directory on your PPC and edit the line from /localtest=false to /localtest=true
Don't have the config file on your phone? There should be one in x:\program files\ElectricPocket\Lobster just edit the line and transfer the file to your PPC.
Hello fellow Wing users, I am looking for a media player that works well for general audio usage and can play videos. I am running WM6.5 JustHome on my Wing. I use a bluetooth headset to listen to music and take the occasional call. I tried TCMP and kept getting MP4 related errors and no audio. So far WMP works, but come on now...
I cannot seem to get a web browser that works properly. I do not have a data plan, but have WiFi access most of the time and I can connect. Before I upgraded from the factory WM6, I had no problem with IE. After the upgrade, Opera Mini 4 was included but keeps looking for a data link. IE pulls up the TMobile webpage about upgrade to data plan. All these new weather programs look for a data link also. WiFi is so much faster! I've searched the forums and haven't had much luck. Am I just missing something really simple here?
I use Opera Mini 5 and UC Web for internet browsing.
Can't think of any freeware video/music players...
well, for music, i use S2P v.58, there is a new version now, but that doesnt have cover flow
since im a new user and cant post links, search s2p v.58 on the fourms
i use nitrogen for music and opera mobile 10 for web browsing
i use skyfire for webbrowsing
When itcomes to media, it's all about TCPMP, this build i found here's very smooth and is skinned.

Hello,
I get voice mail messages from my home phone VoIP line emailed to my Gmail account when I'm away as "wav" file attachment.
The problem is I've never been able to play them on my Xperia X10a.
I've red somewhere in this forum that "Mediascape" supports wav files but that is not the case with me. I've tried other media players as well to no avail.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Here is my wav audio file details:
Codec: 0x0031 (GSM 6.10)
Info: 8000Hz 13 kb/s (1 chnl)
Thanks.
I don't have an Xperia, but I do have another droid phone and I have the same problem. Actually it is not too uncommon, I have the same problem with my work voicemail system also. I also had the problem on my ATT Touch Pro also, Windows Mobile 6.1. I was able to get another audio player that would play the files, that was Core Player. I don't know what on the android side does it but you just might need to experiment. It is all about the audio codec that your phone system uses, I know ours couldn't be changed.
I finally got this to work after upgrading to Android 2.1 and then downloading the free "Remote Wave" app from AppBrain.
Thanks.
Sorry guys I know this has been asked in various guises and people debate the access to subtitles and ac3 filter.
I currently use TCPMP on my phone so that my young son can watch movies on it when we travel (cartoons etc)
It was fine until I recently tried to upgrade the netdrg version (one that I like and seems to work nice out of the box) to v2.1 and I have had some problem.
Doing to do a ROM upgrade over Xmas so trying to decide what software I want to install on it, what looks to keep and what to bin etc.
Ignoring the cost aspect and bearing in mind the purpose is to watch (say) Kung Fu Panda in full screen mode, is there any benefit of one over the other:
-ease of use; quality of playback etc?
Specifically I would probably look to use Netfrg v2. (once I can find a solution to the skin problem) vs Coreplayer 1.36 (latest version I think)
Both Coreplayer and TCPMP don't use hardware acceleration, so it may be worth using Windows Media Player.
You can use this converter to get the files into a format WMP can play, it also supports HD inputs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
As per your original question, TCPMP is free but Coreplayer seems to have more settings and supports streaming from myplayer (which I use to watch live TV).
I've not noticed any particular difference in quality, it just depends on the quality of the original file I suppose. As for ease of use, they're pretty much the same I think. All the basic functions you need are on the main player screen and they both support playlists.
A couple of notes about Coreplayer I've noticed though, it has single click pause enabled by default so if you try changing between full screen/normal mode it keeps pausing it. Also, repeat is on by default. These are both minor points and can be changed in the settings menu.
Hope that helps.
Many thanks.
Re-encoding takes and age and it is much easier to drag and drop avi files on the SD card to watch on the fly which is why I have not bothered with the WMP option to date
I recommend you using any build of android, then use the rockplayer, the version for the Arm v7, it works flawlessly and accept any type of media.
good to know thanks.
Android dual boot is pencilled-in after the upgrade to WWE 3.14
UK T-MOBILE branded Galaxy S II running official ICS rom
I've started to get into podcasts for an hour and a half commute every day and really enjoy the idea of radio on demand.
I have a number of shows I subscribe to using Podkicker, which I have found to be a great app as it will search for, download and queue new podcasts on starting the app.
But I have been having trouble with 1 podcast. The address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/tmfootballuk
The feed is a UK based American football show with new shows uploaded every Tuesday.
The show is recorded in stereo (I have confirmed this with the show producers via twitter). When the stream starts and the opening backing track plays audio is in stereo, but the audio is crackly. When the main body of the show starts with presenters voices only I can only hear the audio from the left channel. Any pre-recorded backing tracks through the rest of the show are again in stereo, but crackly and distorted.
Now here's the strange bit. It ONLY happens on my S II. And it ONLY happens to THIS stream. I have other podcasts I subscribe to and no others do it. Another did start off the same way weeks ago but no longer is affected by this.
A quick bullet list
.Only this one stream is affected
.Its only affected on my S II
.I have tried it on a HTC CHACHA and a T-mobile Vivacity and both had no problems with the audio
.I have tried it on a Win 7 pc and the audio is fine.
.I have tried a hard reset of the phone.
.I have tried downloading via browser and via Podicker both before and after the hard reset but there is no difference to the audio, I still get the same problem on my phone.
.I have used Podkicker to both download the podcast and stream it directly from source, no difference
Could it be the phone?
Music, FM Radio, Internet Radio, YouTube, Sky TV all sound fine
Could it be the headphones?
I have tried 6 sets all with the same result, and all other audio sounds fine
Could it be the Podkicker app?
All other podcasts sound fine
Could it be the stream?
The stream is fine on other devices
Could it be the source?
Ive downloaded other podcasts from feedburner and they were fine.
The other podcasts I listen to are
.Americarnage (this one suffered the same fault but no longer does)
.BBC R2 Chris Evans Breakfast Show
.BBC R2 Graham Norton
.BBC R2 Simon Mayo Confessions
.NFLUK Inside The Huddle
.NFL Rants and Raves
.Rich Eisen
.Sports Illustrated Peter King
I am wondering if anyone can help me out by trying the podcast on their II, the podcast is either 23 or 33 meg in case you are thinking of downloading over 3g, and let me know if anyone experiences the same problem, or if anyone can thing of a possible cause to the problem and a possible solution.
Cheers

I have now had this tested on a friends S II. He streamed it direct to the stock Android sound player app, and the audio had exactly the same fault.
Could really do with some help on this.
