I'd like to point out that this does also work on WM2003SE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astrodemoniac:
Thanks very much for this application; it is awesome!

I would like to make a request if I may: would it be possible to include an option to enable/disables a notification when a download is finished?

Thanks!

not working on tilt2

Hello, I have installed myplayer 1.1 on my tilt 2, however when I run the program I only am able to see the startup screen of the myplayer (with the arrow). it then crashes/closes without any message. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? I will appreciate any help. My tilt2 is running stock AT&T tl3d though i made some tweaks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Are you connecting via 3G/HSDPA or wifi? If possible please could you try to load via a wifi connection? Have you previously installed any other versions of myPlayer?

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armenh72:
You are correct. I have it installed previously but then had some problems with tilt2 and was removing apps to see what creates slow down in the performance. Before, I believe I had 1.09 version. What should I do to fix the problem? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LeeMC79:
Thanks for this.

Unfortunately since I installed this version, Coreplayer does not open up successfully. The Coreplayer title appears at the top of the screen, but does not open. Coreplayer opens fine when MyPlayer is not running.

Any ideas?

Edit:

Appears it is just when I try to use Radio 5 Live streaming - I have two entries for the station in the list - the first one crashes Coreplayer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scarymonkey:
I'm sure in previous versions there was an option to fix the icon which is poor quality on my HD2. In 1.10 I haven't found this option yet, has it been removed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The "Update myPlayer Program Icon" button should be visible when you load the Options menu. If not please try uninstalling myPlayer and then reinstalling it to reactivate the button.

Hey, Im new around here so go easy on me;)

Firt off, SUPERB app. Really lovely UI.

Ive skimmed through the thread, and cant see a problem like this (sorry if im asking something again lol)

My problem is this:

I've tried using the HTC HD2s 'media streaming' thing, and it needs to buffer every 10 or so seconds.

I have coreplayer, but it wont load anything from the Iplayer (or anyother provider for that matter). :confused:

Its not my conection, I'm using it over wifi (unless im doing something amazingly wrong). And my conection speed is pretty good for UK standards lol

Any help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pabloh999:
Hi i just downloaded myplayer from the 1st page of this thread for my htc hd2.

As i am in Ireland i purchased myPlayer Streaming Credit for 1pound.

Its telling me i need core player to open the file/tv show? In the first post of this thread it stated that the streaming player on the hd2 would be sufficient?

Any advice, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
If you have CorePlayer that is definitely your best bet. Do you have version 1.3.6?

In CorePlayer: please try setting the video output to GDI and disabling the "Prefer UDP streaming" option via the tools menu (as described on the support page).

Also it may be worth disabling the phone connection via the comms manager initially to ensure that it is the wifi that is being used to test the app.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armenh72:
Hello, Fry, any feedback on my issue? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lonelykatana:
Problemo solved. I made sure both of the streaming and video options were as you said (they were.)

It just sort of decided to work by its self lol.:confused:

Just want to thankyou man.

You've been really helpful (to many, not just me). And you provided us with an AWESOME app.

You rule man.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maxh2005:
A little off-topic, but if anyone's still getting the CorePlayer FFFFFFE8 "Network not available" error when trying to load a stream from myPlayer - or any other stream for that matter - try this workaround I've just come up with:

Step 1) Launch the stream in CorePlayer. CorePlayer responds with "Network not available! (FFFFFFE8)"

Step 2) In CorePlayer, hit OK to clear the error, then Menu => Tools => Settings... => Select Page => Network => untick Enable Network Access (no, really, that's not a typo). Hit OK to return to the CorePlayer main screen.

Step 3) Hit the Play button. The Play button changes from a Play symbol to a Pause symbol, then immediately back to Play. Nothing else happens.

Step 4) Menu => Tools => Settings => Select Page => Network => tick Enable Network Access. Hit OK to return to the CorePlayer main screen.

Step 5) Hit the Play button. CorePlayer responds by playing the stream!

It seems that if you try to play a stream with "enable network access" disabled, then try again with "enable network access" enabled, then the stream will play - the act of trying to play the stream with network access disabled appears to resolve any subsequent problem. Subsequent streams will also play until you restart CorePlayer, at which point you have to go through the process again.

The above behaviour is repeatable on my HD2, for CorePlayer 1.3.6 build 7427.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
I have noticed that BBC iPlayer Desktop version often does not offer downloads (for any devcie portable or otherwise) on Radio 3 audio programmes, but myPlayer does thankfully offer them. So I have taken to downloading them to my Loox PDA care of the excellent "myPlayer". However, the resulting files have the extension mp4. But Coreplayer v1.3.6 says format unknown. I thought that they might be a variation on atrac/aac files, but nothing would play them.

Now for the strange part - they are really mp3s! I discovered that if you change the extension to mp3, they play on anything that plays normal mp3s.

What is going on here, please? I am happy, but confused!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I'm not quite sure, but thanks for the heads up. I will change it so that it writes the file as an mp3 if the source is audio. Hopefully this will make the next release - which is imminent.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
Thank you. You are very attentive and helpful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 1.200 ***

Change list:

- Updated RTMP transcoding and connection via http for improved reliability

- Live TV feeds from the global index can now be added to Favourites

- A default content view can now be specified

- BBC Radio downloads are now saved in the mp3 format

- Various other minor bug fixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agen7:
Hi,

Just wondering if there is any way to configure and play through tcpmp? I haven't got coreplayer so wanted to use this if poss? Thanks for any responses:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlyMaelstrom:
Menu > Options > "Player Configuration"

Select the middle drop-down that should say "\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe." In the list, select "Other" and browse to TCPMP.

Now...

Does anyone know if you can set up a personal VLC media server for the latest version? That was kind of a key feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I am not aware of a version of TCPMP that supports streaming via http (or rtsp) as it was my understanding that the network buffering was only introduced with CorePlayer.

If you know of a version of TCPMP that has this feature and can point me in the right direction I would be happy to give it a go to test the compatibility with the myPlayer streams.

Connection Problem

OK, There's seems to be problem with 1.2 (sorry!)

I can't get it to connect over WiFi. It worked up to the second I allowed to upgrade itself. Straight after it came up with the "no connection" error window. If I disable the WiFi it works fine.

This excellent app had been working perfectly on my HD2 up to this point. Any body else had this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jace770:
Nevermind I've fixed it. For some unknown reason the Proxy server had been selected under my Work Network connection setup. Sorry for the Spam! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] victoise:
I have exactly the same problem and came up with the same "solution"! Just only disabling and enabling network acces doesn't always fix it, I also have to change the udp streaming sometimes.

What network settings do you use?

The odd thing is that with an older version that I used before (1.0. something) I didn't even bother about looking at the network settings and at least the streams always worked fine (I assume it was on auto-detect settings)

By the way only via G/3G/H i have this problem, via WiFi it works fine!

I also use Coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427, but on a Touch Pro.

Any ideas somebody? Cause having to go through this procedure every time is quite annoying.

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
I must confess I haven't tried this with myplayer streams, but for general CorePlayer use, using GDI as your video renderer is sub-optimal.

My preferred settings are:

- Orientation: left-handed;

- Zoom: fit best;

- Video: use DirectDraw as your renderer. Also set "smooth zoom" to "on", and dither on.

- In the DirectDraw settings, choose "YUY2" as your overlay format, tick "use device stretching when blitting", and untick the other two boxes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 1.250 ***

Change list:

- On Demand services are now viewable with non-CorePlayer apps (eg. HTC StreamingPlayer or Windows Media Player)

- myPlayer is now available in 3 versions: Lite (free), Pro and Premium

- Premier league highlights updated

- myPlayer now sets defaults more intelligently on first install

- A few other tweaks and minor bug fixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
Hi FryWalker, thanks for the updated version. Just a quick question, does the myPlayer Lite still download iplayer streams or do I have to upgrade to the Pro version?

I am a little saddened that myPlayer has evolved into a commercial product and that I would need to pay to get the full features of the app, however I do appreciate developers time does ultimately need to be reimbursed.

All the best in the future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
It wasn't the easiest of decisions to make, but I felt that with all of the effort I have put in to the project now was the right time to introduce a Pro version.

I have tried to keep as much of the application free as possible as I do not want to alienate the major user base, but at the same time I wanted there to be an incentive to upgrade.

You would need to upgrade to the Pro version to access the high-quality download feature now, but I hope the one off fee is acceptable in this case.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holsy1982:
I've just upgraded, though a little disappointed in doing so.

However is there anyway to limit myplayer to only ever connecting via wifi and never via GPRS. (Having a £200 dispute with Virgin Mobile over their "unlimited"/1GB mobile web)

Also in future versions could you make the (i) button bigger on the download page as it's very hard to press on my HTC HD2 which is without a stylus

Finally in future versions any chance of splitting the BBC radio catch up into sections too.

(always been told "don't ask - don't get")

Cheers in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Always grateful for the feedback. I will add these features to the next build where possible.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Si607:
(Having a £200 dispute with Virgin Mobile over their "unlimited"/1GB mobile web)

Hi Could I ask how much you went over your 1GB please, was there any warning or just a bill.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] novahob:
Fry, i can't find how much the pro or premium costs, where can we find this please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Please visit the myPlayer upgrade page (www.skynetsoftware.com/myPlayer/upgrade.aspx) for the one time registration fees (the Pro upgrade is displayed by default, click "Switch to Premium" to view the Premium upgrade).

Thanks for your support.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holsy1982:
Apparently on Virgin it's £2 per MB outside the fair use policy. There was no warning, all I got was a text saying my account had been suspended as I had reached my credit limit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlyMaelstrom:
I still can find how to set up the hook to my VLC server from the new myPlayer client. The only documentation in this post is primarily about how to set up the server and deals with an outdated version of myPlayer. I used to have no problem with this, but now it appears to have disappeared from the menu. The thing is, my guess is that it's only available in the premium version, but the website says it's available in the Lite version. Personally, I'd upgrade if it let me use the VLC hook, but nothing is telling me that it does.

Secondly, for what reason do you only allow streaming high quality content through CorePlayer. Unfortunately, CorePlayer can't utilize HTC's QTV driver so streaming High Quality on Core Player only results in a poor frame rate. I'd much prefer it if I could stream high-quality through HTC's own streaming player which does use the QTV drivers as far as I know (like HTC Album). So, will this be possible in future updates?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
This feature is temporarily disabled due to an inconsistent bug, but we are working on fixing it and it will be back in the Pro/Premium versions shortly. Keep an eye on the update log!

Unfortunately to stream the high quality content via RTSP in the format that the HTC StreamingPlayer requires would put too much strain on the server CPU whilst transcoding. This is also the case with most of the RTSP stream players (eg. Windows Media Player).

CorePlayer is the only streaming media player that I am currently aware of that can decode mpeg4 content via http in a format that is native to the embedded flash source. A couple of people have suggested TCPMP can also do so but I have yet to find a working version.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markstrachan:
Thank you for an excellent product, having used myPlayer since launch and following the upgrade to 1.250 I decided to upgrade to premium.

I have however found a bug which you may be aware of.

When downloading content from iplayer the program switches to myPlayer lite and if you pause then resume the download you get the message " Download Unavailable, High quality downloads are available in myPlayer Pro / Premium"

I am sure it is just a glitch of the licencing part of your program.

I am running stock 1.66 eu rom on HTC HD2.

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Thanks for the heads up. I will make this the number one priority, so hopefully there will be a fix soon. I'll keep you posted.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markstrachan:
Cheers Fry,

I have also noticed that if you delete the partially downloaded program from the download library, the program reverts to premium after a restart. Also forgot to mention that I have the download location set to my memory card.

Thanks

Straks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I have identified the issue and applied a fix server side. Hopefully that should resolve the problem. Please let me know if you continue to experience any difficulties with the download.

Thanks again for the feedback.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markstrachan:
Thanks it is fixed.

Well done

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Si607:
Fry, A brilliant programme, and well worth the very modest charge for it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Si607:
I found by good luck that Virgin had applied a £400 credit to my contract (only around £26 a month contract) therby potentially allowing me or someone taking my phone before I realised to run up a £400 bill. I was appalled at this and submitted a formal complaint asking where in the contract I had agreed to £400 credit, they have reduced it to £50 now which they say is their minimum, and apologised for applying £400 in the first place. I don't know your circumstances but suggest you ask them what authority they had to apply £200 credit to your contract especially if its out of all relationship to the monthly payment you chose as suitable. I have said I will report them to OFCOM and the FSA if they cant come up with a suitable explanation for even applying £50 credit when as far as I am concerned £10 would be enough to be exposed to and cover emergencies. It may well transpire they are exceeding their authority under the contract to arbitarilly apply credit to the deal without explicitly notifying of its existence. Sorry a bit off topic but anyone with a virgin contract check out the amount of credit applied to your account. (shown on the online login page with your phone usage etc).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cd85233:
Sorry to interject...but I was wondering if justin.tv would be able to be added to this app?

I searched the thread and it was asked but no answered. Thanks and good job on the app. Works awesome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] de5perate:
Thanks for a great update - I have just upgraded to premium (I had been meaning to donate anyway but hadn't got round to it - so I feel less guilty now). Best app for WM - hopefully you're working on a WM7 version ;¬)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Indeed I am; and also in fact an Android version ;)

Thanks for the support!

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoleX1:
are the upgrades a one-off payment?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Yes, both upgrades are individual, one-off payments. All future features will be added to the Premium version.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoleX1:
Been a user since this first came out, just upgraded to premium, great app..worth the money..

If ONLY there was a way to get the flash content eg football etc without having to use the Flashlite appzone, as it conflicts with my AdobeFlash3.1 Plugin, (would be great if a workaround could be found) otherwise PERFECT!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adamdridi:
I keep getting a Streaming Media error:

Server or data time out; tap Play to reconnect.

Any ideas on how to sort it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jrl022:
As someone who just downloaded this app today for my Touch Pro 2 and who also owns a Nexus One, I would happily purchase your app for Android. This is a niche in the platform that, as of yet, seems to be unfulfilled so I would think it could generate quite a demand. Great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holsy1982:
Apparently I only had £150 credit set up (much more than I needed and again never with authority), but they still let me run up £198 worth of bill before halting my account. I have a few areas of complaint I'm pursueing, but hadn't considered this as an approach, will add it to the list.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PepsiM:
Is it possible to use the program over Wi-Fi? I didn't find anything in the options...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
myPlayer should work over 3G/HSDPA and Wifi. If you prefer to use one connection over the other, please disable the connection that you don't want to use via the device Comm Manager.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Si607:
Just sent you a PM, don't know if you get notified if one comes in so mentioning here to have a look.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PepsiM:
Hmm only works on HDSPA for me. If I only use Wifi the program unfortunately gives me a "failed to find network" message.

edit: Solved the problem by using CorePlayer. Your app is sooooo good :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eepyaich:
Glad to hear you're working on a WP7S version. Out of interest

- do you expect to have any significant problems caused by the lack of multitasking that has everyone up in arms

- are you at all worried about legal issues.

For the latter point, I'm thinking about fact that WP7S apps look like they will have to go through the MS Marketplace, which among other things will check that they are legal in the particular market. Will a disclaimer that "you need a UK TV license" be enough to get this past any questions about content availability, I wonder.

Having decided to upgrade only to the "Pro" rather than "Premium" version, does this mean I won't see any updates again?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I'm not entirely sure in this instance, there may have to be stricter rules applied to the application to ensure the geo-location "laws" are adhered to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
Fry,

As much as I love the app, I hate the fact that it has been commercialised. If your aim was to make money, I feel that it would have been a better idea to allow advertisements rather than charging for the app. I, for personal reasons, cannot buy the app and as the main feature was the downloading high quality videos, I will now, unfortunately, have to delete it.

Thanks,

Jster
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I will investigate the possibilty of a free version that features advertisments with the download feature enabled.

-Fry

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
Thank you. That would be much appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
I also un-installed myPlayer for the same reason. I would appreciate a free version with adverts. Thank you.

The following post is correct.... but the new "free" version has the high quality download disabled. I am asking politely for the really free version to be fully functional, with adverts if necessary, but with the high quality downloads enabled ... please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Casey_boy:
Umm.. isn't this app not free?

I know there is a free version but that's not feature complete. I therefore, think that this is commercial and, as such, has no place in this forum.

Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with the cost (I'm considering it myself) but it doesn't belong here anymore.

I can however, see it staying here if you promote the features of the free version only and then link off to the paid versions. Currently, you advertise all features.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andrew-in-woking:
Rule 11

Hi FryWalker

I agree that this thread should remain a discussion about the free version of the software as it is a developers forum not a place for companies to engage with their customers. Please review your thread and ensure you are complying with Rule 11 of this forum. The description of this specific forum from the forum home page is explicitly clear that it is not the place for commercial applications: "Applications and games created by xda-developers users for use on Windows Mobile. No commercial apps/games allowed.". Perhaps a private forum for paying customers hosted on your site could help you field queries about the paid for version(s). Just a suggestion.

With regards to adverts, it may be that there are problems adding adverts to BBC content for UK users as I don't think the BBC allow that. It is only BBC World that has adverts alongside BBC content.

On a personal level I would be interested in a version that downloads the same files as the BBC Desktop iPlayer including the HD files where available - and would probably pay for it. I also think that you might want to speak to the Core Player people about how you could better integrate their software or sell it bundled with your pro & premium versions - but not on this forum! ;o)

Many thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Understood. I have updated the first thread to summarise the free version only. In future I will not refer to any features that are not included in the free app, nor will I discuss any other commercial aspect.
