They are not working for me either. They worked for me before the BBC changed them. But now even after updating to 1.092 they still will not work - I click on the i button and all I get is the same Episode unavailable for download message that I got before.

I have an HTC Touch HD2, I am running core player - not that that makes any difference to the availability of high quality iPlayer downloads.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] de5perate:
I have just been messing about trying to get it to work but no luck. I have uninstalled it, deleted the folder and reinstalled it to the SD card - downloads not working. Tried uninstalling again and installing to the phone - still no luck.

It comes up with a message every time telling me that high quality downloads are now working but for me it is untrue.

If anyone has any suggestion then I would love to hear them - I want to download top gear to watch later on.

Streaming works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
It seems that the downloads are working via wifi but not via 3G/HSPDA. I will take a look at the code to see what the beeb have changed this time...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] de5perate:
Thanks for that - I bet you are regretting taking on this project now - the Beeb are making you work for it.

Anyway this is by far the best app available for WinMo and probably the only thing keeping me from going back to the iPhone. Thanks very much and I'll be sure to donate when I get back from work tonight (assuming I'm not stuck in snow on the M4 - be alright as long as I have downloaded Top Gear to watch).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
If you are able to tether your phone to a PC via USB at work that should also allow you to access the downloads at the present time.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] de5perate:
Not a chance big brother won't allow any of that sort of thing - even if I could tether then the chances that the web site would not be blocked are pretty slim. I shall just have to rely on getting a decent signal should I get stuck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 1.094 ***

Change list:

- Fixed BBC iPlayer downloads via 3G/HSDPA

- Added Help menu linking to the myPlayer Support page
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] de5perate:
What a star - thanks very much - works great for me.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Great work again Fry!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
there is still a major problem.

i can download the video fine but when i try to play the video it gives me a message saying that it is an unsupported video format. i have tried with windows media player, one touch player and coreplayer.

i cant think of a reason as to why this is occuring so can somebody please help?

thanks,

jster
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The file download can sometimes be corrupted which leads to the scenario you have described. The way to solve it is to download the episode again. Corruption is usually caused by an interrupted download due to signal loss, but should not happen too frequently.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] imaginarynumber:
I too am having problems playing any bbc radio downloads. core player throws up a 106 invalid file format. Theses file will not play on my pc either.

The files are saved as mp4 and this has been happening constantly for the last couple of days.

The program links, that dont throw up error messages, stream fine over wifi (using direct access).

I updated my player but that made no difference.

BTW i have redownloaded the tracks to no avail.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
cheers Fry i will try to download again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
Fry i seriously think there is a problem here.

i have tried downloading an episode of hustle three times now over wifi with no connection loss but whenever i try to play it, it says unsupported file format...

anyone else suffering the same problem?

p.s i am on a samsung omnia i900
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
I've just downloaded Hustle Series 6, Episode1 over WiFi using myPlayer v1.094 and it plays OK using Core Player v1.3.2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I've just tested the same episode and it plays in CorePlayer (v1.3.2) after downloading via 3G/HSDPA also.

jack_jster please can you confirm which media player you are using (and what version number it is)?

Do you have the same problem with any other episode?

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
ok it works now on coreplayer however it does not work on onetouch player (the default samsung one) which does theoretically support mp4 files.

i will test another programme and get back to you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jack_jster:
yes Fry i do seem to have the same problem with other programmes. they work on coreplayer though so thats fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Weatherlights:
Did you purchased CorePlayer over Handango? If so: You have an outdated not working version! I got the same error message aswell for a very long time since I realized I got an outdated from handango (1.2.5)!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] psp3000:
removal

How do i remove this from my device ?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itoYo:
fry,

maybe someone else has already mentioned this, but is there anyway you could incorporate i.phone.tvcatchup.com channels into your app! i have managed to get opera to display the links to the channels but cant get core player to playthe links. the file extention comes up as .m3u8 and the link inside the file (opened using notepad) just has a mms/hhtp link to an address, im sure this would be capable in your hands.

i have also read that there is an API for accessto the website.

it would be very good if your myplayer could provide access to tvcatchup.

many thanks

Playing back downloads

Hi have been using myPlayer for ages and I love it :D

However, one problem I have always had is that some downloads won't play when I try to play them on my PC. It has happened with .mov and .mp4 files. Have re-downloaded but still the same problem (error 2048 in quicktime.) Most work though.

One more problem. The downloads get saved to a myPlayer folder on my storage card. This has always been fine but recently the downloads don't show up in the folder and Core-Player doesn't show them either. However when the memory card is in the PC, it shows them.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karlos G:
Hi, is there anyway to increase the quality of the streams they are way too compressed compared to watching on my PC (iplayer for example), quality is set to Wifi not 3G.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Yes, I am currently looking at accessing the wmv streams that the BBC host. I'll keep you posted.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bones24:
hi mate thanks for this working great the only problem i have with it is watching live tv ie bbc one i can not get it to go full screen just it just goes black when i press full screen but is ok on normal size, have you any suggestions :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sharky Paul:
Hi, ive tried to copy this file to my HD2 but can't get it to work? How do i install and run the program thanks! :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agrickard:
I have only ever tried with wifi as I know about T-mobile's issue and also have no need for it and have never got HTC streaming player to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aleemz:
So you've copied the myPlayer.cab file to your phone or memory card, then you use file explorer on the phone to navigate to the file, then you execute/tap on the file.

If this is not working for you, tell us where you have copied the cab file to i.e. phone, memory card etc, and what happens when you execute the file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
Installed, the screenshots for the programmes are a little small though, as if it's not sized properly for the Diamond, application icon is also poor quality as well :) however the app works very well indeed. Am on Voda UK and the other XDA app iPlayer only worked over WIFI, this bad boy works over 3G and the quality is very good and playback is smooth.

Very impressed with this app, excellent work. Hope to see an update to resolve the sizing issues :) (even though it's meant to be a QVGA app ;))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Sorry, but still can't work it out! lol. Setup on the handset with correct details, but not sure what I should if anything be entering on my PC! Started the VLC_telnet, but no streaming going on. Can get coreplay to open, but then says 'unauthorized Request'! Any answers greatly welcomed.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
If you are using the "Stream via VLC" option - the streaming should only start once you send the episode request from myPlayer. However you wont see anything displayed on the media server as it will play in the background by default.

You can test the connection between myPlayer and the server by clicking the "Stop All Streaming on Server" button on the Stream Settings dialog. If you get the message "Streaming stopped successfully" you will know that the telnet link is ok.

If not - there are a number of things that could be causing the communication problem. I would have thought that the fact that you don't have a static IP is an issue - but I can't say for definite.

It could be that the ports you selected are blocked by your mobile phone provider. I assume that you have opened the ports on the server. Do you have a firewall running on the server? This may also be an issue.

If you can post some screen shots of any error messages you receive I can try to help further.

Latest version works well

Hi

The latest version (0.45b) works very well.

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiffy18:
Thanks again. I have previously tried the 'stop streaming' and that worked. The ports on the media streamer, where can they be found? On my pc? I'm a bit vague on this area and references to media streamer - sorry. My IP address hasn't changed during yesterday so doubt that's the issue.

I have opened media player too, do I need to enter an address in here somewhere too? if so, where?

Thanks again, sorry for being vague on this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vibez:
great program!

is there any chance to

only

have the live streams routed via vlc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I think I understand what you are asking for. I will add an option to the next release to enable routing via VLC for the live streams only.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vibez:
that would be great :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
There goes my monthly data allowance and my battery life. :D

Works like a charm on my Trinity, only problem i have is that half the time i don't have a 3G signal just a plain 2G one so don't have the bandwidth, will try tomorrow in work the 3G is slightly better there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I don't think I can describe the process any further than I have in the guide.

If I get a chance on the weekend I will put together a video that goes through the setup and then upload it to youtube.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] funem:
This is wonderfull, I have it on my Tytn II installed to the memory card and its works superb.....

One question though... the radio looks for \Windows\streamingplayer.exe

where do I either get this app or where do I change this setting....

Thanks again.....

:D

Ah Edit :- here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=288857 installed it but cant get it to work still :(

Does streamplayer have to be used. I know the BBC radio streams are compatble with core player ( I use the links below ). Can the radio player used, be configurable for Radio streams ?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1.asx - Radio 1

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/wm_asx/aod/radio2.asx - Radio 2

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/wm_asx/aod/radio3.asx - Radio 3

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/wm_asx/aod/radio4.asx - Radio 4

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Didn't realise the StreamingPlayer application was proprietary to HTC.

I will update the Live Radio links in the next release (using the asx streams) so that they can be opened by CorePlayer.

Thanks for the feedback.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vibez:
thanks for this!

I am having an issue though. I'm pretty sure I have the server configured ok as I get the 'streaming successfully stop message' but when I try to play a stream, my media server displays a 'vlc.exe has stopped working' message :(

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
It could be that your media server is missing the codec required to transcode the stream via VLC. You will need to make sure it has the H264 codec installed (which I believe is included in the ffdshow codec package).

I will post some more details a little later on - with a test that you can carry out to see how your server handles the transcoding.

-Fry

i have just copied the myplayer.cab and installed onto the storage card, got the thing installed finally, how do u get the other players? i got the bbci one but how do u get the tv part working and stuff?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aleemz:
Have a little play with the options, don't be scared. You'll find theat the 'view' option brings up a list, then choose the 'catch up' tab and you'll be presented with a list that you can choose from; itv player, five on demand, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisd1a1:
quick question

Hi FryWalker

firstly just to say thanks, i've been using this app from the first and it's brill.

my question is simple. i've just come across a website for the iphone,

iphone.tvcatchup.com, and its big brother www.tvcatchup.com that allows live streaming of all freeview channels in the UK.

i know you have the option in myplayer to stream the live channels but if you could implement a similar menu option it would be brill
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tuffy11:
I've installed this on my HD2 but it's not loading up... I just get the rotating logo on my program screen but it just won't load!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tuffy11:
Does anyone know what I can do to increase the stream quality?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I have been following tvcatchup for some time and I am very impressed by the service they offer.

In early December 2009 I contacted their development team with a view to assisting them in bringing the service to the Windows Mobile platform.

At first they seemed keen, but after they realised I had developed the myPlayer application they decided not to take it any further as they didn't want to be associated with the BBC iPlayer.

I explained that I was in no way affiliated with the BBC and that I was willing to assist in the development of an entirely independent application, but I have not had any further reply from them.

I am not sure if they have any plans to develop an application themselves, but it would seem that they are now waiting for full flash support on Windows Mobile.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisd1a1:
thanks for the update. it's just a shame we can't use their stream on our devices and that they wouldn't work with you.

regards

Chris
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skilty:
it's a pity they've not shown more interest in letting you help develop this frywalker!

as a matter of interest tvcatchup does work through the skyfire browser.. I'm using the latest skyfire browser and it works quite well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
Fry, have you looked into the high-quality wmv downloads that are sometimes available on iPlayer? They're intended for desktop PC's, and most lesser phones wouldn't have the horsepower to play them, but it's possible that the HD2 might. (I've not tried it). Just wondered if they might offer a way in to higher quality video.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:

Frywalker once again thanks for a great app! i was just wondering if there is a way to incorporate the live streams from tvguide.co.uk into this app? maybe with your next build?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I've just had a quick look and it appears that tvguide.co.uk are using the TVCatchup.com streams, so the inclusion of this content in to the myPlayer application is unfortunately not possible.

Regards Mark
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skilty:
Brilliant app Fry! - I know you posted earlier that you'd tried to contact tvcatchup.com to integrate into myplayer and they would'nt do it..

Do you think they'd re-consider if it was a stand-alone "tvcatchup" app? They're happy to have an iphone app and if it was a stand-alone app that was'nt associated/attached with bbciplayer etc it might just appeal to them.

I don't know how much work is involved but it would be great to have this.

Unable to use Quick Link

After being prompted by the MyPlayer app I upgraded to v1.096, which has been installed to the Sd card on my HD2 and works well. My small problem is this.

I had a Quick Link to MyPlayer on my home page with the previous release but I don't seem to be able to do the same with this one.

When I tap the now vacant Quick Link slot and search for MyPlayer it does not show up in the program list. This is despite being able to see the icon when using the file explorer.

Any ideas?

New provider SVTPlay (Swedish)?

Hi FryWalker,

would it be possible to integrate other providers to your great app?

I don't know how hard it would be to add an extra provider, but if there is anything I can do to help I would be willing to help out with some coding in C#...

SVTPlay is the swedish version of BBC iPlayer where you can catch up...

The site can be accessed at http://svtplay.se/mobil and I can also play the clips in WMP via Opera on my HD2...

Cheers

Hi,

Installed both coreplayer and myPlayer on my storage card;whenever I try to watch sth on bbc iplayer it says:

"my player exception 1.096

Execution error unable to invoke media player with the path:

/Program Files/CorePlayer/player.exe

Please enter the correct application path via Options menu."

Please help me.

Thanks

Please select "Manage Configuration" from the "Options" screen (Menu -> Options) and then select the drop down list that has the default CorePlayer path set and select "Other ...".

You should then be able to browse for the CorePlayer application (player.exe) on your Storage Card. Save the new path for each media type that you want to view and it should work.
