If you are trying to stream the myPlayer content via a VLC server please follow the steps detailed in this post.

Otherwise please uncheck the "Enable streaming via VLC media server" in the "Stream Settings" options dialog.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
Another great version :) ITV player playback is choppy at best though.

Keep up the awesome work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cismconn:
works very well for me on a HD

feature wise its a tiny thing

but if the back hardware

key could be used would

make it easier to move around

but a great job

Yay - BBC Iplayer on my WinMo finally

This is great - thanks. I've been trying to get a version of iPlayer working on my Tytn II for a while with little luck. I got my shiny new Touch Pro 2 on Friday so i tried again last night. The XDA iPlayer app still wouldn't work but myPlayer works a treat - wonderful. Streaming was great over 3G also (I'm on a unlimited data package thankfully).

I'm Looking forward to the ITV catchup and the live radio/tv developments.

If you're accepting donations let me know as I think you deserve a few beers :-)

Mike

(the only issue I've seen so far is that the lower part of the display has kinda frozen once or twice. I just restarted the app and it was fine - maybe a WVGA issue?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 0.94b ***

Change list:

- Fixed rendering bug related to WVGA displays

- ITV Player now shows the correct banner image on QVGA devices

- Various other minor bug fixes

Couldnt get myplayer to stream the content to HTC Diamond 2's Stream Player, it kept on saying playback error, etc.. so changed the player to \windows\wmplayer.exe and it started working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billu:
Great app, but I cant view the live channels in coreplayer, it opens but can only hear the audio. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimbouk:
I'm using a diamond2 and coreplayer 1.32 but keep getting the error 'could not open URL!' in coreplayer when trying to watch BBC content. I can watch the ITV stuff but its a bit jerky but i suppose thats the crap video performance from HTC devices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Which version of CorePlayer do you have? Are you connecting via wifi or 3G? Do you have the problem with all of the live TV channels?

Similar query - are you trying to access the streams via wifi or 3g? I'd be surprised if the CorePlayer guys have disabled / broken rtsp streaming in version 1.32 from 1.30, but I guess it is possible. I will update my version of CorePlayer to 1.32 and do some testing..

Fantastic App, works great on my HD, on edge as well :)

Stunning Program

Congrats on a fine fine piece of software.

However, only BBC catchup and live streams work. I can't listen to live BBC audio or use ITV Player. The HTC Streaming Application just sits there blankly if you click on a link. This is via 3G, not Wifi.

Additionally, I cannot use your software when my device is connected to my PC via ActiveSync or via Wifi. I know this is a firewall issue on my router, but I would be grateful if your software could easily explain about port forwarding. I do know how to do this, but inexperienced users won't. For example, can the software show what my device's IP address is so I can put this into the router?

Other than that, I love it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] billu:
I was using coreplayer 1.3.2 and wifi, Tmobile seem to have disabled something.

Anyway if I select the htcstreaming media player as the application to run, live TV streams work. In coreplayer it doesn't. I'll live with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimbouk:
After trying this at home over wifi rather than thro USB at work the BBC channels do work over wifi.

video time out

Hi there

thought id try your app

i`m running on blackstone with BLAC|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM HD 'Phoenix' (21731) ★ || Build date 2009/6/8 ||

have selected to use streamplayer in windows directory.

i select video link in bbc or itv & it loads streamplayer then timesout after about 5-10sec

in propertys of stream it shows all info for stream duration url etc..

tried radio player too & just get error.

am i doing someting wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Are you connecting to the streams via wifi or 3G? For a 3G connection, which mobile provider do you have? I know T-Mobile UK seems to block the RTSP streams via 3G, but it should work ok on wifi if you are within the UK.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stokesie:
wifi in uk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stormyuk:
Nice application, thanks.

BBC playback is great and works well with my Diamond2 using the StreamingPlayer but not so well with WMP.

ITV is really bad and is unwatchable on WMP and doesn't seem to be supported by the StreamingPlayer which is a shame.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] duncan888:
Thanks FryWalker! This is by far the best application I have on my phone.

To show my appreciation I've just donated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gf.greg:
Thanks for your ongoing work on this already really good app...

However, this latest upgrade doesn't seem to be flowing as well... Often when I press on "more" the app hangs, displays a massive error list, and that's the end of it.... also, I noticed that it doesn't seem to go on landscape mode, is that right or am I just not set up properly? (I use changeScreen, on Dutty's 3.6 on HD)...

I still haven't managed to get any "watchable" results on the ITV section. No image in Core, too choppy in WMP... has anyone found a way around this?

I'm looking forward to future upgrades on this, I hope you can keep it going, thanks again for your great work...

EDIT: So after doing some fiddling in ChangeScreen, my problems have gone. It does rotate to landscape, only the program needs to reload itself when I switch from one orientation to the other, which takes a few seconds, but it works just fine now. So... was my bad really...

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ElMasBello:
Hi FriWalker... excellent application!!, thanks!!.

I've installed and am currently using it in my HTC-HD and it works the treat (using wi-fi).

I am a new-comer to the WM development and I am very interested in learning about the UI u are using and the way u are retrieving the info from the net (as I want to develop a couple of small apps that will benefit a lot from the approach ur using). Any pointers you can give me? - (articles to read, source code samplest. etc.). Any help will be very much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stormyuk:
Hmmm any idea why this wont work over my wifi network with my Touch Diamond2? It works fine over HSDPA but as soon as I use wifi the connections always time out.

Wifi link is working fine though as I can use all my other applications and opera etc just fine with wifi. :(

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ndiqbal:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] custardo01:
It works over wifi on my D2. Maybe you have to change the settings of default stream in options from 3G to wifi? Just a guess.

Hello

Hi

Unfortunately, I'm an idiot.

I use the Tytn 2 and found your aplication through coolsmartphone.com. Ive tried to install it by clicking the link, but after watching a video on youtube about it, i think i might be too stupid to get it working. Is xda a site for programmers only? is there a simple link i can click to get the app working without having to do all the tekky stuff?

AAAaagh!!

Tim
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] richardsoffice:
PayPal from me

Yes It’s so good I’m goner do something I don’t do too often and donate! :rolleyes:. . . not a huge amount, but even if everyone who found it useful only donated a £1 it’s better than nothing at all and they could have that warm feeling inside for not being a total leach,:o well that how I feel anyway.

Keep it up and I’ll be PayPaling again that’s a promise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Tim,

I appreciate that not all of us are the techy type, so for the next release I will include a self-installing executable so that you don't have to play around with the cab file.

Watch this space!

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beeble:
The site is for all sorts. The idea here is that everyone helps each other to get the best out of our phones.

Its not the iphone app store, so remember to read the forums & wiki before asking for too much help, but dont be afraid of either asking for, or giving, advice.

myPlayer is just a cab file - this is similar to an installer you'd use on your pc - except you run it from the phone.

Simply download the cab file from post 1, plug your device into your pc, when activesync opens, click the "explore" button - this will open a window (on the pc) where you can browse the files on your phone. Copy (drag & drop) the cab file onto your phone - somewhere you can find it (ie storage card\cabs or something similar).

Then on your phone, open the file explorer, go to whereever you save the cab, and double click it \ click & hold and select run(or install).

Hope it helps!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 0.96b ***

Change list:

- Added YouTube Highlights section (CorePlayer required)

- Common media players are now selectable from a list

- Standardised the appearance of all notifications

- A self-installing msi is now available as an alternative to the cab
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amuneer:
Thanks for the new version. About to try it out right now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smadger:
Had similar problems...

Core Player and Streaming Media Player wouldn't do too well, but I switched to Windows Media Player with new version (0.96) an I can now watch everything other than youtube content.

Maybe there could be an option to select different default media players for different providers as I can't find one that plays them all to a decent standard?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smadger:
Me Too!

Again, not much, but I needed to spread the love on this one!

Muchly appreciated!!!!!!!

ps - just had a thought, would it be possible to download BBC content and store to the memory card?

pps - I don't care for Channel 5 much, but if you could add Channel 4 into the presets somehow, there would be another donation from me!!!!!!

ppps - what about a "kill screen" button for when you're playing radio content?

pppps - Only seem to be able to play the first section of an ITV program in Windows Media Player, up to the first ad break, then stops? Any Ideas?

ppppps - I'm considering throwing away my TV! LOL :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jumbo2000:
great app works good on my TD2 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stormyuk:
Tried both, it will only stream via my Orange mobile connection, wont work over my home network just never plays. :(

Very odd. No on got any other ideas?

Just stays at buffering 0%.... then times out..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Does your wifi router have a firewall? It might be worth checking that it doesn't block port 554 as this is the port that the RTSP stream is delivered on.

Other than that the only thing it might be is content filtering by your ISP - perhaps they are blocking the RTSP port :confused:

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
This isn't something that is possible atm, but I'm not ruling it out for a future release.

More channels will be added in the near future, although I cannot confirm which ones will appear first.

The numbers alongside the ITV thumbnails can be used to watch each individual programme "part". I'm currently developing a solution that will load a playlist comprised of each part in sequence. Just trying to make it compatible with all the media players atm.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
I have lost all the BBC TV and Radio channels but have ITV1 - 4 and the latter work.

It seems to wait ages with "loading" and then when finished only has the ITV channels.

Is it anything to do with the automatic upgrade to 0.96b? Nothing else has changed!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mb:
Ignore me - I've just noticed that the BBC iPlayer site is down (as it says on the first post here)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The BBC iPlayer mobile site is currently down - for what they alledge to be "maintenance" purposes.

You wont be able to get access to the BBC content on any version of myPlayer atm.

I have added a notification to this effect to the first post in this thread and will remove it as soon as normal service resumes.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stormyuk:
My router should be using uPnP and I have never had an issue with it blocking anything but will have a dig. I am going to plug the phone directly into the PC and see if it will use the lan connection. Apart from that I am at a loss. :(

Edit: Looks like it is a router issue, I have port forwarded 554 to the mobile ip address and it seems to work now. :) Does anything else use 554 or just this port for myplayer? I mean will it affect any other applications being forwarded?

Thanks for that. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DMAND:
Thanks for the update.

I thought I'd try and give back by making some icons for you to use maybe, as in WM 6.5 the current icon for your app has a big white box around it!

I've not made icons for WM before so Im not too sure about DPI etc, I've made two a simple one and one based on the Active sync icon.

Hope they work!

Dharms
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Wow, nice work! I'll certainly add them to the next release. The only thing I'm concerned about now is the copyright issue, as the logo really belongs to the BBC iPlayer. May need to come up with a new design altogether :rolleyes:

They are very nice indeed though. Cheers!

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Nope, it should only be RTSP that uses port 554, so I wouldn't have thought you would need it anywhere else. It might be required for a particular radio stream on your PC, but you'll soon know if you try and stream something and it doesn't work. BBC iPlayer on the desktop PC uses a different streaming port (and protocol) altogether.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
Thank you for letting us know. I had even tried earlier versions of your great app. I even checked whether my firewalls/router were preventing the BBC.

Keep up the brilliant work. A super app, really super!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DMAND:
Ah thats true :p Glad you like them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The BBC mobile iPlayer service seems to be back again. Let's hope that is the last of the scheduled "maintenance".

*fingers crossed*

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] looby:
Out of the box..

This really is seriously good work. Performed flawlessly straight out of the box on my Diamond. It's saying something when the only improvement cited is a classier icon. Thankyou very much..:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
[accidentally duplicated a post - now deleted]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Inspired by your efforts, I have made a new myPlayer icon from scratch, with the initial design tailored for the Windows Mobile 6.5 platform.

Here is a sneak preview:

If everyone approves, I will create the smaller icons required and use them in the next build.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] looby:
Icons..

I like DMANDS icons..:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DMAND:
I like it, you must remember that you dont want Fry and his app getting in trouble with the BBC for using their logo, (even though he's doing a better job than them providing iPlayer for WM)

You can use mine with hcomber :p

How about a black version of your idea for an alternative logo?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
You get my vote for a new icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lotherius:
I know other people have stated this in the thread, but I will repeat the request:

:mad: Please note in the original post that this ONLY works if you have a UK IP ADDRESS or have a private proxy!!!! Wasted my time downloading this, copying it to my phone, installing, adjusting settings, THEN finding out while I was setting it up that it requires a UK IP ADDRESS. :mad: A limitation like this needs to be pointed out up front.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
There is an indication in the first post that you will need a UK IP address to access the BBC iPlayer content. Granted it is not immediately obvious, but the ITV Player and YouTube content should be accessible without this requirement.

I also want to make it clear that I will be adding international support from v1.00 and I don't want to leave out any users at this stage. If you download the latest version of myPlayer it will auto-update when v1.00 is released.

This is getting better and better...

I'm still not getting a very good flow when watching ITV channel.... regardless of what player I use. Could any one give me a tip please?

Edit: I think I might have found the explanation: "Yep, we're stuck with the 384kbps ITV Player streams I'm afraid - it is the only bit rate ITV broadcast. The myPlayer "Stream quality" option will only effect the BBC iPlayer episodes for the time being."

... Sorry had skipped that page...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeinashed:
This is a great app.

The ITV channels work great over wifi. The live BBC channels won't go full screen on CorePlayer on TouchPro2. Wen you try to make them fullscreen you just get a black screen. Anyone else having this problem?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boris71:
"No full screen on Touch HD (Blackstone) with Core Player either".

I think it'll work if you:

Menu/Tools/Preferences/Select page/Video and change the Video Output to "DirectDraw".

When I changed mine to various other options, I too lost full screen, but it's OK on this setting.

Hope someone can help,

I'm trying to get the stream details for the Live channels to put into this....

I know there's probably a bit of work to do but I would love to see mPlayer as a manila tab.. imagine flicking through the most popular vidz like you do with a contact/text message... that would be cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madlib:
I tried that iPlayer app that is on XDA as well, but that didnt work for me :/ it opened up the RTSP streams with WM Media Player couldnt get it to open with CorePlayer.

Your app on the other hand worked instantly and it is very fast as well. It works perfectly on my HTC Touch Pro2 with CorePlayer. I will be watching Mock the Week on the train back home from work ! :)

Will you be adding different quality streams in the future besides 3GP to stream over 3G ?

Thank you for this great App !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jay-J:
It doesn't work!

Hi.

I've got problem. The program doesn't work, the CorePlayer is not able to connect and to stream any live video or any live tv. The only one thing which works well is the BBC World Service Radio....

Could you remind anything?

(I use Touch HD)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Are you connecting via the UK? Most of the content in version 0.96b will only work from inside the UK. The upcoming release of v1.00 should resolve this problem.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jay-J:
Ohh, that is the problem, I'am from the Czech Republic, thanks. But, on the other hand, radio stations aren't limited, are they?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agrickard:
iPlayer abroad

Probably, apart from World Service, which as the name implies is for the rest of the world. From what I understand even here in the UK, at least theoretically as no current way of checking, you are only meant to use iPlayer if you pay the licence fee, even if you can technically access it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 0.98b ***

Change list:

- Added Five On Demand service

- Full live TV feed index is now available

- myPlayer service offers a preconfigured VLC solution

- Player preference can now be set for each individual streaming type

- New loading animation for both QVGA and VGA resolutions

- Improved myPlayer icon, and a configurable WinMo 6.5 icon

- Info button is more responsive and highlighted when clicked

Have you installed myPlayer to your device or a storage card?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] StarMonkee:
Same here on my diamond, over wifi, 3g, and gprs. It doesn't load any thumbnails, just instantly errors when the app loads.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Can I ask which version of windows mobile you are running?

Also, what is the exact wording of the error message?

Is it: "Failed to load content - unable to establish a connection." ?

Can you also try switching views to ITV or 5OD...

Scratching my head on the this one, very puzzling.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] StarMonkee:
I'm using windows mobile 6.1 on a UK connection. The error comes up instantly and is:

"myPlayer Exception

0.98b

Failed to load content - unable to establish a connection....."

Clicking the X just shows 'BBC iPlayer' on the screen, and if I change to ITV or 5OD I get the exact same error and then it says 'ITV Player' or 'Five On Demand' on the screen.

If it's any help, I can load iplayer mobile through opera without any problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] StarMonkee:
I'm not sure if it's relevant but I didn't get the usual 'update available' prompt, so I uninstalled the old version and reinstalled this one from the cab in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
OK, I've fixed the bug. Please can you download and install the v0.98b cab file again? Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks!
