When i play a .WMV file on the WMP the sound sometimes stops and the screen keeps freezing every half second or longer. :evil:
It did this on the original T-mobile german ROM and now still on the 2002 Qtek ENG version in flashed this morning.
Any tips or tricks to see the movies the way thay should play?
Are there upgrades?
Any help would be appreciated !!
Upgrade WM2003, then you'Ll have WMP9.
First of all let me thank EVERYONE who contributed to this site. I'm new to the Hermes world and everything I needed to know on how to flash my phone was documented in a very easy to understand way. My cingular 8525 is now running the cooked WMXL 0.20 relase with an upgraded radio from 1.16 to 1.35.00.11. I couldn't be happier.
One thing i've always wondered about my device is when I go to a site like www.pocketpcmedia.com half the time i try and stream a video i get a blank screen and can only hear sound. Maybe if i stop and start the video a few times i'll finally be able to actually see it. What gives? Upgrading to WMXL didn't seem to fix this problem.
What does the Streaming Media program do in WMXL?
Thanks

The issue with no video but only audio seems to occur when the videobitrate of the videostream is too high to be handled by wmp.
For pocketpcmedia you should try to select to "low" bitrate stream (but these sometimes also have a videobitrate wich is too high)
Do you have any examples for streams where this happens?
The streaming media Program is used for streaming in 3gp format. You can for example select the "3gp" streaming format in Orb. Then when you select a videostream in Orb you will see the streaming media program starting.
I've just downgraded to Alltel radio 1.40; seems to have fixed phone locking up (2 days now). However, phone will no longer play vids from YouTube. I'm getting "RTSP protocol not supported error". I have tcpmp and flashbundle both installed on device. Would radio change cause this error?
Thanks guys.
you tube vid hack
There is a new hack for the you tube for titan..you need to install the new tcmp and vid hack..I saw it at ppc geeks but they are down..I came to xda to find it too but not had any luck.
I have both of them posted here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360144
any radio app instead of messing with the rom?
Radio app? As in...?
These (2) files here simply load onto your device without rom intrusion. Are you looking for a streaming fm/am radio means?
The standard PIE on DCD's 2.10 ROM (or any stock ROM, for that matter) is horrendously unstable. The 'download' constantly stalls out when doing speed tests and other sites load formatted in ways that make everything unreadable.
Opera Mini (Beta 4v2) is the absolute opposite. 2.2Mbps+ on all speed tests, stable downloads, 110% flawless page formatting... it just can't play videos. Is there any middle ground available? I'd take a slightly less 'Opera' browser, as long as it was stable and played videos. Is there anything like this?
install HTC Streaming Media and/or Flash Video Bundle and youtube will work

On Opera? I can play YouTube videos when I run PIE, but it's still so slow and choppy. Not the videos themselves, but any site I go to on PIE.
which opera you use? Because I use opera mini but cannot play you tune video.
I'm actually really happy with TCPMP (core media player) and the flashvideobundle plugin. youtube videos launch almost immediately and stream perfectly.
Not sure if it works with opera mini, but it works with PIE. Also, make sure your "view" settings on PIE are not set to "column". I found that "desktop" allows screen formating most like PC, but some sites do work well on "fit to screen"

How can I make my ppc show me youtube's videos??
U could also try the program Vtap, works great for me on my mogul, and its free. I like it better than using PIE and TCPMP although they are both good solutions.

When will you people learn...
You can't test your speed on Opera Mini! I promise you, you are NOT getting 2.2Mpbs+ speeds on your phone consistently.
Opera Mini is not a real web browser. The way it works is when you click on a web page, Opera downloads the page to its servers first. Then, it takes a look at the page, and takes a picture of it, taking note of where all the links appear. It then sends this "image" + link information to your phone which displays in the opera mini browser. This method is so much faster than a regular browser because your phone doesn't have to download all the information and doesn't have to do any of the processing to render the page. (This also, by the way, introduces all sorts of security questions because this is being rendered on someone else's computer before it comes to you. In other words, don't use opera mini to do your banking)
when you do a speed test, you're not seeing the speed of your phone's connection. You're seeing the speed in which Opera's server is connected to the internet, and then seeing that result as a picture sent to your phone!
In fact, the opera mini experience is the same on a high-end PDA phone as it is on a simple little nokia from 5 years ago (speed of the phone is irrelevant, its just viewing images).
Case and point- browsing on an GSM nokia 6230 using EDGE (non-3G) is not noticeably slower than browsing on a Mogul with EVDO Rev A, and both reported over 2MBps in speed tests (EDGE averages around 100kbps).
Basically, this system is ideal for web browsing like the desktop. However, it can't do any pages that require client-side processing, since your phone is not doing any of the processing. For example, pages with real-time interaction, javascript games, and especially flash animation and/or video (such as youtube) would not work under this model.
There ARE browsers that are capable of this, such as NetFront and the upcoming SkyFire, but you will most likely end up with the same laggy experience as IE because you are back to using the phone's CPU to process and render the data.
Bottom Line: What you are asking for is not out there because the concepts are worlds apart (opera mini + flash video). Using TCPMP and the flash video bundle work flawlessy for me, might want to check out the latest versions of that.
Generally, I've found that there is not perfect browser for everything (yet). I use Opera mini for regular browsing of large pages, Picsel for secure pages (such as sprint.com account information), IE for mobile-access pages (such as the mobile accuweather) and for flash video using the bundle. I used to use NetFront for pages with flash and java interaction, but I actually found it too slow and clunky for regular use. The tcpmp video bundle works much better, so I removed NetFront.
Good luck, I hope this helped someone understand the situation better!
::End of rant::
Look... IE is the only thing you can find atm that is close to being full featured. The problem is on some of these roms it just plain does not have the memory to operate. NexVisions is one of them. Open just about any page and is 1mg of ram left. Other then IE you are forced to mix it up with other browsers until Skiyfire comes out.
So has anyone tested the Skyfire beta?

how are you getting this to work? i have tcpmp and the FlashVideoBundle.cab but youtube videos try to open in WMP, which gives an "unknown error" error
if i force it to open in tcpmp it says the rtsp protocal is not supported
using opera mobile reporting as a desktop browser youtube doesnt even open, it just crashes the browser, i cant get PIE to report itself as anything other than PIE (so it always goes to youtube mobile)

I have it. It shows a lot of promise but it's still early (version # is .5). Video is pretty choppy even over WiFi. It's one of the things they're trying to polish before release.
Make sure you are using TCPMP version 0.72RC1, and make sure you don't have any other flash plugins installed except the flashvideobundle.
I have both installed to my device memory (not memory card).
that's it really. I can go to youtube.com in PIE, tap on a video, and a little menu pops up asking if you want to play or save the video. just tap "play" and the video starts playing within a couple of seconds, and its very smooth.
Hello,
Bad news for older phones:
news/youtube-app-to-no-longer-support-older-tvs-or-ios-devices/
What are the future opportunities to use youtube?
I cant find any, i tried standard youtube app, youtube mobile application ver 2.4.4,
core player. All thease not working anymore.
When use m.youtube, opens Streaming Media app, is it play youtube, but very low quality.
Perhaps there is some way to use youtube hereinafter normal quality?

You can flash WP 7.8 ROM, because there is nothing more alvaliable on WM 6.5. Look at HD2 Windows Phone 7 section for more infos. Also you can flash Android. Hope this helps.
Bojan
Actually i have HTC MINI HD, cant use WP 7.8 ROM. (accidentally wrote the HD2 topic)
Is it really one last option to use Android?
Wp7.8 is step backwards over WM6.5.5
I use ninjaducks opera10 with flash support for everything video related as tend use my HD2 like I do a laptop & hate separate aps for youtube etc.
Any ideas how we can still use youtube on our winmo devices? Maybe we can program an app?
