hi, i got myplayer sort of working on my hd2. i have copied in the xml file posted earlier but when I watch a live stream i just get the audio. can anyone shed any light??

edit, it appears to be a core player issue. anyone post up some settings i could follow

edit 2 sorted it out now. changed video settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jez.stix:
hello daz990 uninstal myplayer and go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h777mrb7svw it worked for me a treat on my touch hd
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antkneee:
sync

Downloaded and installed everything today on my HD2 and its working pretty well after a bit of fiddling about with different versions on coreplayer mainly trying to get it for the world cup while im in work ;)

only thing is its a bit out of of sync with my actual tv, by a couple of minutes or so, so i was just wondering if its something to do with the way its set up on my phone or if thats just how it is, if so, i can live with it being a couple of minutes, better than nothing!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mndl632:
seemed to have sorted out the looping problem, if people are still having issues with that try coreplayer 1.3.5, i've been using this version and it will still loop once after the first 40 seconds but after that it will play without any problems. I had issues with 1.3.6 and 1.04 and it kept on looping with those versions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holsy1982:
is anyone else having issues with the BBC radio content. used this lots it wouldn't work when tried it last night.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Nope, I still have the same looping issue. Looks to be that if the connection slows or is lost, CorePlayer goes back to the start of the downloaded stream, rather than waiting for the next "x" seconds to buffer.

FryWalker's Config.xml didn't make any difference for me either

coreplayer is useless and a waste of money
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cx1:
I totally agree.

What's the point of requiring Core Player? KB?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngWMuser:
Hey guys'. I'm here droppin by to ask about the server settings.

I'm in the US and I love TopGear. I click on an episode and it says in general, that i need to be on a UK antenna to watch it. Is there a way to bypass this?.

I also get an error stating.....

EXECUTION ERROR-Unable to invoke media player with the path:

\program Files\Core PLayer\Player.exe

myPlayer is not a media player.

Please specify a separate application to play the stream via the options menu

I know i dont have coreplayer. So would it fix it if i had it?

Thanks

Since updating none of the LIVE DIGITAL TV channels are working... I have submitted a support email.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Free updates, plays everything under the sun?! I disagree :)

Aside from that, I also cannot view any of the Digital TV channels - CorePlayer loads, but displays a black screen & doesn't play anything.

I also can't play any channels under Live TV > Favourites. I just get a message saying "RealSystem Broadcast Distribution" in CorePlayer, then it buffers forever.

Will probably revert back to previous version for now...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I would recommend using Windows Media player for the "Live TV -> Favourites" feeds as it seems to be more reliable.

As for the live digital TV feeds - we are aware of an issue with the high quality setting and should have another update out today to address the problem.

I normally just download programs direct from BBc iplayer website, copy to my Sd card, and it plays no problem with WMP on my HD2. its aquires the license and away you go. no need for an App IMHO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastvampire:
You disgust me!

If you want to make money, go open a SHOP and PAY your TAXES!!

This forum, isn't for you to make money.

This is a DEVELOPERS forum, where people develop for fun and share their programs.

You set a price on your product and are now making money from it, but DO YOU PAY xda developers their share for running your SHOP on their forum.

I downloaded the latest version of your software and its asking me to PAY (NOT donate optionally, but PAY) for content belonging to BBC!! You don't even own the content!

I couldn't even access the BASIC things, such as NEWS. That's one of the MAIN reasons I use this program.

My advice to you is, if you are going to start a shop here, then you better start contributing to xda-developers running and bandwidth costs. Also pay your income taxes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastvampire:
edit: from reading some of the previous posts I can see that a lot of people are unhappy about this program, and how this guy is leeching money of xda members.

I am writing to the admins now, If you all feel strongly about this also, please write to them too.

Those who want to make money should go and open their own forum shop, just like the respected forums, such as RESCO, SPB, SBSH etc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jez.stix:
hello again

kind of explains why i dont like it lol. jez
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jez.stix:
Hello lastvampire

Are you referring to myplayer if so I know where you are coming from? Also it breaks so many laws in fact xda-developers should warn him and ask him to remove it or ban him.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
But many people are also happy. The Lite version offered here on the forum is free, works brilliantly, and is regularly updated at no cost to the user. How can you complain at that? If you want a more comprehensive product, then its not unreasonable for the developer to expect some return for his time and effort, but quite rightly is not offering that product on this forum.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skilty:
Im having big problems with myplayer on my device at the moment.

I recently tried using the xml file from early posts but that seemed to freeze coreplayer (I had copied my serial from the original file) .. I then copied the original one back but myplayer was'nt working properly. After a series of uninstalls/and using memmaid/and using the new version, I can't enter my upgrade key correctly (it just does nothing when you click save), also I've set up the player configuration to use coreplayer from my storage card, but when I try and run live tv it says it can't access the program and shows the string as Program Files/Coreplayer/player.exe instead of storage card???

I'm nearly at the point of a hard reset as I don't know what else could be causing this?

anyone got any ideas? is there something being left in the registry perhaps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TomH01:
I tried changing it in the Options - Player Configuration settings for live TV to use Media Player instead of Coreplayer and then saved the settings, but it keeps using Coreplayer instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
skilty,

Please uninstall myPlayer and then delete the application directory from your device (typically "\Program Files\myPlayer\"). You should then be able to do a clean install of the application.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kev_gordon:
+1

Yes, same issue for me. It always uses Coreplayer despite changing the settings.

Not that it's causing me any problems though, but I thought I would mention it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Can you confirm that it is the "Live TV -> Favourites" section you are using. Just to make it a bit clearer: the high quality live digital TV preference is actually set by the "YouTube" setting (and the "RTMP" setting for low and standard quality) on the media preferences screen.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TomH01:
Yes it was my mistake, I just tried it with Live TV-Favourites and it plays in Media Player just fine.

Thanks Fry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kev_gordon:
I've just tried watching an iPlayer stream and it's not working :( I normally watch the live TV (which currently still works fine), but when I try opening an iPlayer program it comes up with a message box:-

Myplayer was unable to access the media stream requested ....

This was working a couple of weeks ago when I last played an iPlayer program.

Any suggestions?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoculture:
hi all

installed myplayer on SD card, and installed Coreplayer 1.3.6 on Sd card as well.

when i launch myplayer i can see all the programs but when i click on a program to watch i get this message.

Myplayer was unable to access the media stream requested, Please ensure you are connected via an internet provider based in the UK.

it work over WIFI, but it does not one data connection, my phone is on 3G,

my phone is a HTC Touch HD2.

i have the latest version of myplayer v1.620

i have downloaded a connection update for t-mobile but still not able to view anything. i am able to access the net on opera and face book, so my connection is working.

please help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kev_gordon:
Same for me. It's almost as if the program is picking up some settings somewhere related to the current service provider, making it think we are not in the UK. Is it a mere coincidence that my O2 connection is rubbish at the moment i.e. sometimes a poor signal, and losing the data connection earlier this week. I think O2 are doing something to their network, possibly getting ready for the new iPhone?

Is there a way to check the settings, or force a setting for the UK?

I think we need FryWalkers help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
We are aware of a potential BBC iPlayer sourcing problem for 3G connections with certain providers (O2, T-Mobile, etc). A fix is currently being worked on and should be released shortly. We apologise for the inconvenience.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skilty:
hi fry, i had tried that before i posted, but i did try it again and still no joy! - i also did a hard reset, and reinstalled version 1.60, this worked and let me upgrade but as soon as i upgraded to 1.620 it went back to the lite version and won't let me upgrade.

could it be conflicting with another program? anyone using cookies 1.8 and myplayer without any issues?

can't suss this out:(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Skilty,

I would have though it is getting confused due to the hard reset. Please contact our support team and give them your device key. They should be able to sort it out for you.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
howdy fry, i presume this is what my problem is as well? It connects fine to live tv over wifi but on 3g i get the error message saying connect to a strong signal or it is only available within the uk? if this gets resolved please let us know as most streams are unavailable.

also would you mind please explaining the benefits of upgrading to pro or premium? I see where you get 500m or 2gig but why would we need this and what else would we get? If the fee is one off i am more than happy too. Just want to make sure i can utilise your (apparently) great service!

cheers for all your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skilty:
It is a one off payment so... I'd recommend getting either.. I've gone for Premium which gives the maximum streaming credit (used for 4OD etc) and also more Live channels than the free version (I use this most of the time)

BBC I-Player works on my Windows 6.0 Mobile HTC P3600

Problem solved!

BBC I-Player works on my Windows 6.0 Mobile HTC P3600 by using SKYFIRE as my browser. I use Skyfire 1.5.0.15020 which can be downloaded for free.

Previously I tried all sorts of Opera Versions and other tips from the internet and XDA forums, but with no satisfactory results.

High memory usage wasthe main problem in Opera 9.5 which is too advanced for WM6.0

This morning I stumbled upon Skyfire by accident, I liked it, so I tested for the I-Player and ... hey presto ! What a surprise!

Ugh, I have messed this up on my phone. Can someone help. For some idiotic reason I tried to install the cab when it had only partially downloaded, and I thought it was ok, it does not seemed to have installed, left no trace that I can see (although there must be) and so I re-downloaded and tried again and now alll I get is

myPlayer installation was unsucessful. :(

I have tried powering off and re-starting, no joy.

I have a Touch Diamond 2 with WM6.5 (stock UK/EU rom).

Any help please?

EDIT: Its ok, managed to try installing it from the main memory instead of downloaded to the storage card, works now. Can delete this mods..

Thanks,

Hello,

Whilst watching the world cup match today it worked fine for about an hour (bbc one live digital TV) and then suddenly looped to the beginning!

After this, whenever I tried reopening the stream, it played for about a minute and then looped back to the beginning.

What's going on? How can I fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ybee:
I have a query.

My phone HTC Hd2

Phone provider T-mobile UK.

I have installed the myPlayer app on my card. is it possible to view sterams using my T-mobile connection . Presently i only seem to get to work when i connect to wifi.

Please help !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
This was a known fault but i was under the impression it had been cured with the latest version. However, i still cannot view thru my uk tmobile connection either.

Also i have the loop issue that pkchips mentioned. I tend to get about 5 minutes of streaming before it loops.

Also i have noticed that probably 90% of the time when i am watching a stream it simply switches my phone off?

Any ideas anyone?

There's Channel 4, More4 & 4Music on there - is it possible to add E4? Can I add the URL, or would I have to wait for another release?

Guys,

Since the latest release, I have been having problems streaming some of the BBC content - just sits waiting to stream. All others work OK. Is it possible that the inclusion of an age consent is causing this problem?

Says "Failed to Connect" when I try to watch anything.

Can someone please help me? I just got a new HD2 a couple of weeks ago and I'm new to Windows Mobile. This player seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, but whenever I try to watch anything at all, it says "Failed to Connect." Then when I go to the menu and hit Connect it says "Invalid URL." What am I supposed to do to get this to work? Thank you in advance for any help that you could give. ~James
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] james1126@yahoo.com:
Is there anyway this will work in the US?

I was wondering why this app couldn't connect to anything and then finaly noticed where it said that you needed a "UK based inet connection". Is there any way to make this work for a guy in good ol Orlando, Florida? Thank you very much in advance for any help you could give.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Make sure the stream quality on the Options menu is set to standard. Most of the low quality iPlayer content seems to be unavailable at this point.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
Fry, did you ever have any luck getting higher-quality WMV downloads from iPlayer to work? (I don't mean the crappy 320x180 ones intended for "portable devices", I mean the higher-res ones intended for desktop Windows Media Player. If you go, say, here and click on "More Downloads" - the 19MB option. It plays as 720x405 on my desktop PC.)

Failing that, have you looked at getting hold of the videos that are intended for the iPad? I believe they are H.264, with either 800 or 1500 kb/s bit-rates, which might play back quite nicely on an HTC HD2 (or something of similar spec).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
Can't stream BBC Radio catch up, I get the error about being unable to access the stream and not being in the UK. Really weird as I have tried it over my home WiFi and my Vodafone UK connection. Here's where it gets really weird, catch up TV works just fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 1.700 ***

Change list:

- Fixed live digital TV streams

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
Btw, I haven't tried this in version 1.7 yet, but in version 1.65 trying to play "Live Radio" (specifically Radio 4, didn't try the others) in CorePlayer caused my phone to lock up so badly I had to do a soft reset - and that happened consistently, not just once. I'll have a go with 1.7 and using Windows Media Player instead of CorePlayer at some point and that'll hopefully be better, but I just thought I'd mention it.

EDIT: Hmm, all kinds of weird stuff happening, here. CorePlayer basically won't stream anything coming from myplayer - just crashes the entire phone as soon as it launches. (But it still plays videos fine).

Myplayer also seems to be completely ignoring the setting that tells it whether to stream direct or via the myplayer server - just uses direct streaming all the time.

The settings for individual types of material have lost the ability to set where to stream them from; instead they all say "stream access is auto-assigned".

Streaming live radio does work using wmplayer. Live TV sort of works using Streaming Media Player, but the quality is excruciating. iPlayer catch-up also works with Streaming Media player, althougn, again, quality is very poor.

Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
Just tried downloading one of these (an episode of the sitcom "Rev"); it lays fairly well in Windows Media Player on my HD2. A little jerky from time to time, but generally smooth. Of course Media Player has to obtain a licence before playing it, and it's time-limited - some sort of DRM stripper would help. Media Player also refuses to zoom it to full screen for some reason - but at 720x405 it's probably big enough. And you have to put up with the HD2 A/V-synch problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I did have a look at the wmv files before but the sound was jumpy even on the HD2. I will have another look. Problem is as you said: the content has DRM so the only viable player is WMP...

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
I don't see that requiring WMP is necessarily a problem.... They've changed the format of those WMV downloads at least twice in the past year. When I first looked at them they were anamorphic, very high bit-rate, played back with a res of 960x540. They went through a phase of being impossible to play at all if you were still using Windows XP. They're now 720x405 with a bit-rate of about 1950kb/s. Certainly no audio problems on my HD2, and playback was smooth most of the time.

As I said above, you should DEFINITELY check out what they're offering for iPad users, too. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nalab1:
Change icon missing?

Hi!

Just downloaded the latest version (v1.7) and the change icon seems to have disappeared from the options screen...

I have attached a screenshot...

Regards,

Alan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
Having just watched the first episode of "Sherlock" in this fashion (downloaded WMV played on HD2 using WMPlayer), sadly the results were less good than I'd hoped. It is a little jerky at times, but that's not the main problem; the big problem is that something is badly wrong with the gamma (or possibly the brightness). This makes the whole thing appear pale and washed out, and with terrible solarisation. So, sadly, I can't really recommend this approach any more (unless someone can figure out a way to solve the gamma problem).

If you're reading this, Fry, then I still exhort you to look into getting hold of the mp4's from iPlayer that are intended for the iPad. :) I suspect they may look rather good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I have looked in to this but the iPad streams are not only embedded in HTML5 but are also DRM'ed, so it seems to be another dead end in that respect.

-Fry
