Embedded in Flash? The iPad doesn't have any Flash support, does it? :confused:

I've not done much googling on the subject, but back in May they were talking about using HTML5 and using H.264 for the videos. See here (and follow-ups here and here). I guess that doesn't preclude additional DRM-ing.

Maybe if you could work out how download the file, someone else could work out how to remove the DRM. :) (No, I'm not volunteering. :( )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Apologies, got my wires crossed a bit there, meant to say embedded in HTML5. With regards to the DRM, we do not want to remove any digital rights if they are enforced by the content provider.

Can't download radio shows without myplayer credit since upgrade

Hi,

I recently upgraded to v1.7 and since that I haven't been able to download any of the iPlayer radio shows without being prompted to buy Myplayer credit. I used to be able to do this via my home wireless connection but this functionality seems to have been removed.

Is this to be changed back or is it is staying like this for future releases? If I'm gonna have to pay to download the shows, without the option to download them directly, I've gotta say that I'll be very disappointed as I'd rather make a donation for this great app than be forced to pay to download them.

Does anyone know anything about this or is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Or is it just me who's doing something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
This sounds like a bug, it certainly is not the intended behaviour. Please can you email support and submit your device key so that they can investigate.

-Fry

but why I cant see the pictures?/oh ****
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
If I open another program when mPlayer is running, the screen 'scrolls upwards' or the volume in the second application increases. It's as though I'm pressing 'up' periodically. I haven't seen this mentioned before. I have seen it happen on my HD2 and iPAQ 214.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The 'up' action is sent periodically when a flash video is loaded to ensure that the screen does not power off. This is the only solution that we could find to keep the flash lite application "alive". Once you exit myPlayer (or even select a different media view) the repetitive 'up' action will cease.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
Thanks. That explains most of what I've seen. However, if I am downloading a program with myPlayer and watching another with Windows Media Player, the 'up' action increases the volume, eventually to the maximum. I'm worried that this might damage the speaker if I wasn't around to correct it. On the other occasions the 'up' action occurs, it is annoying more than anything else.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
This process can also be implemented to keep the screen alive whilst downloading episodes. To prevent this behaviour (for example if you intend to view other media whilst the download is in progress) please unselect the "Keep device 'awake' for download" option on the Download Settings screen.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
Thanks. Now that I know what's happening I can work around it. It's a great application.

I use a file manager that prevents my devices from going to sleep when copying files (it might be Resco Explorer but I'm not sure.) It changes the settings under the power options ie. it deselects power off after so many minutes. It re-selects these options after the operation is complete. I'm not sure how it does this or even if it is a particularly good idea. I noticed this behaviour when copying some particularly large files across my network.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Togsie:
First off I love this app, the only thing that I'm having problems with is the Live TV feeds (not the UK digital they're fine). First off am I correct in assuming that if they appear in the list then they should play?

I find that I get the "unknown file format (0106) error when I try to play a lot of the channels e.g The Netherlands Familie 24 channel to name but a few.

I'm running Core Player 1.3.6 build 7427, do I need to download a codec pack or something?

Just as a side note the Netherlands channel appears in the listing as Holland between Thailand and Tsjechie, not in alphabetical order. If it was renamed to The Netherlands it would be in the correct place.

Thanks and regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Global TV feeds are only likely to work within the country they are designated to. I assume if the UK digital feeds work you are connecting from the UK?

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Togsie:
Format error.

Fry, yes that's correct, the UK.

Should I expect the "unknown file format" error then?

Thanks and regards.

Hello. Excellent first impression on the myPlayer program. Didn't hear about it on here, I wish id have looked when I first signed up :)

Could you just clear a few things up;

I saw an older version and it advertised as including ITV Player - I have read on here that ITV have changed their method of streaming content, but does your server decode it for viewing?

Also could you explain the differences (received channels etc) in the editions;

myPlayer Lite

myPlayer Pro

myPlayer Premium

Thanks for your time ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
ITV Player changed the format they broadcast their media in a while back and since then myPlayer has not supported it.

The non-Lite versions are primarily for non-BBC content. I will PM you with the details, but you check out an overview of the differences here.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
hi,

just trying the latest version on my HTC Touch HD using latest core player, it keeps crashing when trying to access other live tv channel lists, sub catagories, and at other random times. I have to reboot to reclaim the 10-20mb ram it eats and wont give back when it crashes, and if I want to try myplayer again.

live uk tv doesnt seem to to anything when i click either, (I am in the uk)I get a nice pink box round the channel selected, and a myplayer logo, then they disapear and it's like I havnt pressed anything

also when I press bbc news it says 'this service has been updated please update your bookmarks'

cheers

crash details in screen grabs below
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
I have updated to the latest version.

I selected 'factual' from the BBC menu and the resulting list was quite strange. The icons shown were huge compared to usual. The program still works, it's just that I think there's a bug when searching sub-categories where the icons appear too large.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 1.780 ***

HI

Still unstable and crashes please see crash report I posted for the v1.75 a few days ago. its the SAME type of crash in v1.78

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crayola555:
I just downloaded this app to test it out and see the Live TV usa list is messed up :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
I also get these crashes on a htc diamond 2, Which also gave me an 'out of range' crash as well.

very promising app but at the moment too unstable to use :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Symondo:
I love this program.

I had it on my touch HD and was 1 of hte first things to go on my HD2. Theres something quite satisfying about streaming DTV in HQ to my phone and watching others stare in amazement.

Many thanks for this top quality app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crayola555:
Any updates on this app? I don't want to keep looking at the garbled list on the USA channel :p

I am using the latest version of myplayer , i have tried lite , pro and premium and still can no longer watch live tv any one have any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
I cant watch UK live tv either ( I am in the uk) lots of other bugs too. I reported them to the developer when it was v1.75 but all the bugs I reported still remain! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] larrytango:
i used to be able to (in earlier versions) and i now paid premium to get all the extra live tv channels that i cannot watch haha.

what network are you on? altho it doesnt seem to try to open the player for me

im on o2uk

wont work on t-mobile or orange or via wifi for me. If mess with the app too much it crashes. and eats up ram, I have to reboot the device

- Removed a bug that prevented new users from accessing DTV
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
Hi, Thanks for the update, V1.8 still seems buggy:

I managed to view live uk tv in high quality, when I tried again in standard or low quality behaves just like previous versions and nothing happens... until it crashed with the error log attached.

selecting USA TV results a long pause followed by an unclickable 'ok' message box then a lockup of the device which requires a reboot to fix!

htc diamond 2 and htc touch hd UK orange and t-mobile, latest core player and wm 6.5 on both
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
As has already been mentioned, V1.800 will only stream Live Digital TV in high quality. In Standard or Low quality, it just highlights the channel selected, but doesn't call the media player.

Edit.

In High quality, it calls the media player but then displays a 'Failed to connect' message
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cees1969:
I had problems with version 1.78 that v1.8 has resolved. Before I could stream all channels except high quality digital tv. Now everything works using both 3G and WiFi. Maybe this is due to differences in handsets. I think it will help the devs solve problems if the specification of devices is stated by those whom ever find that it works or fails. Mine works fully, my device as follows:

HTC HD2

o2 UK

OS version: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82)

Windows mobile 6.5

Hi. I have tried streaming Live BBC Radio stations, but though the Coreplayer opened and started buffering, it wouldn´t start playing. Is there something wrong with my settings ? Thanks

I'm still getting a weird text on the US live tv list, does anybody else got that or is it just me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
More feedback on V1.800

When trying to view live Digital TV in the UK, this version will only attempt to call a media player if the stream is set to High Quality. For any other quality setting, it just stays on the Icons screen without calling a media player. I don't have Core Player installed, just Windows Media Player and the built in HTC Streaming Media player, both of which would display live TV in low quality in previous versions. It is also no nonger possible to change the media player away from the HTC Streaming Media Player (last selected when using V1.780 myPlayer) for viewing Live Digital TV, even though all other media player options are offered.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
Hi, Fry, I just found another bug possibly, DTV keeps defaulting back to WM player after the app is shut down and restarted even though I have set it to coreplayer ( I have dtv set to Standard in case that makes a difference)

I really love this app by the way :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
I've just upgraded to the the latest version, 1.820, and programmes in the USA list are shown with text very much larger than in the UK lists. I have only looked at UK TV before so this might not be new.

This isn't a complaint, just a finding. The application is excellent and I appreciate your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fallenmonk:
Well this is working much better. Watched the news on live tv and was pretty good quality. can't watch dig tv but that is because I have tcpmp and not core player I think. Thanks for the fixes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] looby:

Works a treat Fry. Thanks for your continued support of this excellent app and your hard work..:)

Is it for a HTC Touch Diamond?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
I am having a strange problem. When I download something, it is as if the crsr-up or non existent dpad-up is being pressed. try scolling down the 'most recent' and suddenly the list goes to the top. And it doesn't matter what I'm doing - if I have the music tab, every few seconds it goes to previous track!

Anyone else noticing this, or have a solution? It's quite severe as I can't do much whilst myPlayer is downloading.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
This has been discussed before. The program uses a keypress to keep it awake when downloading. The feature can be turned off but your phone might go into standby if it is set to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
Thanks, this was informative.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gio300zx:
I was very excited way back when I got my Touch HD and found iPlayer was supported officially. But for the past year or more, I have been flashing excellent ROMs from here and now the official iPlayer doesn't work anymore. I tried just about every User Agent fix and other stuff but no luck. Until last night when I downloaded and tried myPlayer. It's a little slow and it's a little difficult for a noob to understand the various setups but it works! (eventually :o hoho).

It saved me getting up early this morning as I could stay in bed and watch Korean GP :D Thanks.

I found by trial and error the Windows streaming player in Energy ROM works fine and I don't seem to need Core. I also managed to download a program with no problem.

I'm still annoyed that the official iPlayer won't work: it should do, I'm a UK based licence fee payer with O2 contract and a Touch HD. But for me it's easier and more successful to use myPlayer. I like it so much, I even paid for it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
Have you tried looking at all live tv stations eg USA? it crashes most times when i try it with my HD with an energy ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gio300zx:
Just tried it. It crashes. I'm using myPlayer 1.820 upgraded to Pro. Watching BBC1 or BBC2 live OK. Select Full Index, once I got to the country list, then tapped USA then it crashed. Other 3 times, tapped Full Index, then it crashed with Error An unexpected error has occured in myPlayerPPC.exe [and more stuff].

Sounds as if you need to send him the error details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
I sent the error details when it was version 1.75!!!!!!!!!! you will need to restart your phone as when it crashes it robs 10mb+ of ram too!! maybe you should contact the author too as you have paid for the pro version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gio300zx:
Well, since I'm not bothered about being able to watch USA (or other foreign) TV, it's not really a problem for me. One of the reasons I upgraded to a paid-for version was to get the access to email support in case I needed it (to quote from the site "Dedicated myPlayer support via email" is for the upgraded versions not the free version). (The other was because it worked for me so I felt morally I should contribute.)

If you've paid for the upgrade, then you get dedicated support via email. If using the free version then not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
I said I will pay for it when it works as intended on my device :) until then I dont mind telling him what the bugs are.

I told him about a few other bugs too, (cant remeber what they are offhand) you will probably run into them too at some point.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
We have identified a memory issue with some devices when accessing the US Live TV feeds. We hope to have a fix for this released shortly.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
Hi Fry

Its not just the USA feeds, its when you try to enter the 'rest of the world' live feeds it seems to cause a crash. Its seems that if it doesnt get to the 'rest of the world' screen before about 30 seconds the app will crash. Its the same crash msg I posted several pages back. Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
I see, I can't find where this was discussed, so I'm unsure if other methods were discussed.

Could a different key be used - say pressing of the SHIFT key which has less of an impact in most cases? Also the frequency could be reduced - my phone is set for 3 minutes before it switches off unattended.

Otherwise continuing to be impressed with this program. Now I'm travelling by train once a month, it's great being able to download a few programs for the trip.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 1.850 ***

Hi Fry

My touch HD (enrgy rom) (UK orange) connecting through wifi connection,MyPlayer v1.85

just gave me this error trying to access USA tv

it seems to be the same error that has always happened with about 12mb of ram not given back after the app has quit. only a reset of the device returns the ram. ( ram cleaner cannot seem to recoup it)

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Thanks for the feedback. Do you get this error with all of the countries on the Global TV feed list or is it just the USA list?

Hi guys any news on the windows mobile 7 version, thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrATty:
I receive very similar errors to these too. As with your device, it seems to be associated with low amounts of RAM and a reset is required. My main device is an HD2 and have quite a lot of RAM and I have no idea why free RAM and the error seem linked. I use the program on an iPAQ 214 which has just 128Mb RAM and the error occurs on that with a similar frequency.

The latest version is suffering from expanded icons again. I cannot access the USA TV lists, for example, because the listed channels are to big to see properly.

It's still an excellent application despite these niggles.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 2.000 ***

Change list:

- BBC content removed (please see this update for more info)

- Various other minor bug fixes

im still able to download bbc content at the moment even though i get a message when starting the app telling me its no longer availiable.

does it only apply to the live feeds from the bbc?

also iplayer downloader still works (pc application... google if you want it) For now.....

Copied from the bbc's own website... maybe they should update this page.

I'm sticking with version 1.85 as download content from BBC iPlayer still works. Version 2 has completely removed BBC iPlayer from use list of available channels and the live tv channel thumbnails no longer graphical icons but awful white text on grey background.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vortex2:
With the BBC not supporting the HD2, myPlayer was the best way to view iPlayer content with the added advantage of downloading for offline viewing. Initially I tried the Opera mod to run iPlayer but it compromises the way Opera displays other websites so I stopped using it. Instead I got myPlayer pro and it's been brilliant, but now that BBC content is going I won't be using it any more. Thanks Fry for a great program, so sad there was no way to continue with BBC content.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
Fry, you have spent a lot of time on this, and it has been my favourite media app. This is a real shame, as I had liked to download films and other stuff for my train journeys. What is the road map for this app now? Where are you going to head with it? We seem to be losing more channels than is gained. Are you able to get this 'registered' or whatever to use the BBC content?
