Introduction

Ever since i started using windows mobile phones i have always used SPB Mobile DVD to encode the videos and then used CorePlayer to view them. But after receiving my new Blackstone I, like many, have found that this is no longer possible due to CorePlayer's lack of hardware acceleration and SPB Mobile DVD's lack of WVGA support.

Well now there's a solution! projection has made a video encoder please view the link below for details.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

In order to play files that are encoded with projection's encoder, you would normally have to use WMP or HTC Album (both of which have hardware acceleration). I personally thought that i could make it easier for people to open up their favourite videos. Im not sure if i've succeeded but i like it so there!

In comes my program.....

Simply put, it can be descibed as a file explorer for the HTC Album. With it you can easily find the video you are looking for and then open it up in the HTC Album's player.

Usage.....

To scroll the list press on the up and down arrow at the top and bottom of the list

(Arrows can be pressed and held for continuous scrolling)

Select an item by tapping on it

Press Open. If its a folder then it will display the folder's contents, otherwise the file will be opened in HTC Album

Please use the 'Back' hardware button to exit HTC Album (This is the fastest way, and upon exiting Video Launcher, HTC Album will be closed)

Use the 'Thumbnails' button to view thumbnails of the current folder in HTC Album viewer

Use the 'Resume' button to open up the HTC Album in the last state that you left it.

A few notes.....

1) Can only play MP4 file types, this is because the HTC Album only supports MP4!

2) Originally had the idea of letting users choose their player, so WMP, pvPlayer, or HTC Album users were all happy. But then i added the thumbnails button and also i liked the zoom feature of the HTC Album player. So WMP, pvPlayer...... you're out of luck!

3) Only reads mp4 files at the moment because i encode all my videos in mp4 so i have no use for the other video types. May change this if i have enough requests.

Help.....

The current program icon is ugly as sin! But im not that great at artsy type things so if anyone could help me create an icon that would be much appreciated.

I've been on these forums a long time and have gained a lot of great programs and tips etc, i just thought that it's time to give back. I hope you enjoy the program, its free for you to use forever....

Any suggestions and comments would be helpful, and thanks for reading.... enjoy! :)

Ps. Buy me a beer if you like it ;) Donate!

PPs. Thanks to Slothie for the code enabling me to find the storage card on non-english devices. :)

Great Addition to my Touch HD

Great cab but would LOOOOVE if you made this support more formats such as (.avi), (.mkv anime format), (.wmv). I use CorePlayer but it can never play Naruto or Bleach smoothly audio is great but video is sooo choppy. Would love this app more so i don't have to convert to .mp4. If its not possible what converter do u use for vids:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Read the first post again.. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
Unfortunately the HTC Album ONLY supports mp4 files so the only choice is to convert all of your video files to mp4.

It's not all bad, just add all of your selected videos into prejections encoder before you go to sleep and by the time you wake up it would have finished! :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
You have hardcoded everything, so it doesn't work on localized ROMs:

VideoLauncher.exe
DirectoryNotFoundException

in System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String fullPath, Boolean file)
in System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFiles(String path, String searchPattern)
in System.IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles(String searchPattern)
in SmartDeviceProject1.Form1.Form1_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
in System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
in System.Windows.Forms.Form._SetVisibleNotify(Boolean fVis)
in System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible(Boolean value)
in System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
in SmartDeviceProject1.Form1.Main()
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
I believe that i hard coded it so that it would load the root directory of the Storage Card.

Initial directory = "\Storage Card\"

Do you have a storage card inserted?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
It could be that some ROM versions with differing languages have alternate strings for "\Storage Card\"...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
Ahh i see, thanks for pointing that out.

I would need bbonzz to confirm this and then maybe i can look at getting the correct persistent storage folder path another way.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kelvar:
Don't know if this is off topic but is it possible for your program to use HTC Album to open a url containing a mp4 file?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
Im not sure if the HTC album can open urls, but i doubt it. And in that case my program couldn't either since it uses the HTC Album. :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
Same as before on localized ROMs: you still have hardcoded paths... (i.e.: doesn't work on my device)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
This looks really nice... Looking forward to a QVGA version.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kwill:
app is great and thanks much. but, is there anyway to get the regular menu functionality such as just being able to flick and scroll or even just being able to navigate through folers by tapping or double tapping? it gets tedious when u navigate to a folder, then have to highlight it, then hit open. unless im just doing something wrong:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
I've added the ability of double tapping on list items to open files and folders. Check the #1 post for download links - look for version 1.2

As for flick scrolling, havent worked out how im going to implement that as i've never done it before. Any assistance would be most welcome! ;)

Please install to the device rather than storage because the paths for the sound files are hardcoded to \Program Files\VideoLauncher
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kwill:
thanks mr htc. update is perfect as it at least cuts down on the tapping:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
No probs, now go and enjoy some videos! :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] The_Steph:
MrHTC,

Your piece of software seems very promising but is it (or will it be one day) able to resume a film where it has been stopped?

The_Steph
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] The_Steph:
To be removed cause I double posted my question.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cxkx:
Can it be used with manila v2.1?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
@The_Steph:

There already is a resume button in the program. Press it and it will reopen the HTCAlbum in the last state that you left it. So if you were watching a video and wanted to make a call for instance, when you have finished your call just hit resume and it will open up the HTCAlbum and you can press play to resume your video.

If this is not what you meant, I am currently toying with some other ideas to remember the positions of all videos and then allowing them to be resumed. Kinda like how Windows media centre remembers the positions of all videos that you play.

@cxkx:

I believe it will work with Manila v2.1 altho i have not tested it. All my program needs is for the HTCAlbum to be installed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] The_Steph:
MrHTC,

The Resume function works really well if you don't close VideoLauncher. If VideoLauncher is stopped (by clicking on the close cross in the task manager or if your device is restarted) then movie starts from the beginning if you launch it using VideoLauncher.

Thanks in advance if you're already working on that subject as it is a basic functionnality that is not embedded in the software provided by both Microsoft and HTC. This point had been addressed by Wolfman-XP in his Windows Media Player plugin to resume position but it is not working on Blackstone. But fortunately you're here to remedy that ;)

The_Steph
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrHTC:
QVGA Version now available

Go to the first post for the download.

I would really like to have a resume function too because its useful for watching half a movie on the train into work, and then the other half on the way home! Only problem is that the HTCAlbum doesnt seem to have anyway to fast forward the video apart from the green progress bar, and it doesnt have any command line arguments that i could enter to start the video from a certain point. So the only way that i could think of is to simulate a tap on the progress bar at the same point where it was last. This doesnt seem like a great solution so im stuck for now.

Unless you can think of something else?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lycox:
Doesn't work for me too, and in addition, the cab file doesn't install at the right path. For me it's Windows\Startmenü\Programme (German ROM).

Any plans to update the GUI just a little bit? Maybe get rid of the scroll bar area or make it the lists scrollable? As well, sometimes when you stop a movie, it doesnt return back to the home screen or the app itself. It just hangs and leaves Album open. Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] BossMAFIA:
Is there any way to forward (next functionality) video clips in HTC Album? For example if there are 5 music video clips queued up in a folder, I have to always navigate manually to the next video in the same folder after the previous one has finished playing. There is absolutely no way of playing the next video without going back to the main folder with the videos and loading it manually. So essentially if there are 1000 music video clips, you'd pretty much have to go in and out of the menu a 1000 times to watch the clips. Just wondering if there are any workarounds to counter this tedeous process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Just go to your settings and go to sound and display and enable rotate then go to settings>locale text and enable vibrate.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Anyone have problems with the new version of Kinoma? Whenever I try to download/update apps ("Get Apps"), it always hangs (Duttys 3.1 and 3.6), regardless of GPRS, EDGE or HSDPA. Works fine over WiFi tho!?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] swiftytom:
On stock ROM 1.56 and after hardreset, I had some serious problems with Pocket Music - when it reached the end of a track and should have skipped to the next one, it would freeze instead and screw up the sound for the whole device. So I looked for alternative, tried Kinoma but the trial wouldn't let me play with the bass/treble settings, which I need. So I ended up with MortPlayer, which seems very nice to me so far, it has an equalizer and a bass boost effect, and it's free.

I've got no problems with Kinoma on Dutty's 3.6 using 3G/EDGE.

anyone interested in a petition to Microsoft to bring the Zune HD to Europe?

I would use Facebook and PetitionOnline.com. Spreading the word would be very important and we need to inform people all around Europe to sign this.

Finally, if we have a few thousand people who signed the petition we can inform Microsoft.

Can anyone suggest solutions to this problme.

Unfortunately, I have not any suggestion for now. I just wanted to tell that I get the same issue and the same message to go to settings task manager and stop running programmes but ther is no other programm running at that time (soft reset is the only way to get rid of that).

I was wondering if it could not be related to a very big number of contacts ? Did you solve the problem ?
[Touch HD General] saksman:
This may be due to you using either Opera or IE and not flushing the cache - in Opera, go to the Settings menu, click on the Privacy button and then click on the Delete Cache button. In IE, select Memory, Tools, Options then select the Memory tab and click the Delete Files button. I don't know if this will fix your problem, but I had a similar problem on previous HTC/WinMobile handsets with limited RAM and this process always helped - it's not a bad housekeeping routine either.
[Touch HD General] Rodolphe123:
For me, I can't fix this problem by deleting browsers cash or any temporary files... Still the same issue, only controled by a soft reset...

Okay, this thread topic might not make much sense. I'm pretty sure everyone been in a situation where you get some new electronic "toy" and your wife, husband, friend, parent, etc. tells you to throw away your old one. When they throw it away without asking you first, you probably got pissed.

Well, here is my story:

When I was in high school, I got my first cellphone. It was a flip phone with a camera and I was awed. It was cool. I'd sneak it into the cafeteria and take random pictures or take random videos on the bus ride home.

A year later, my parents needed new phones. So, I ended up getting a new one too. We got three Audiovox SMT5600 phones and we bought three 1 GB mini SD cards that came with the SD adapter.

Fast forward to today. My dad and I now each own an HTC Fuze. I was going to unlock our old phones so we could use them on trips or as backup phones in the even something bad were to happen. Lo and behold, they were nowhere to be found.

My parents had put them in the cellphone recycling at some "Care Center". They didn't even erase the data or take out the mini SD cards. I am pissed. From now on, nothing that runs on electricity gets thrown out without my approval.

Anything like this happen to you guys? Do you throw away your old electronics/recycle? At what point do you consider something "useless"? Have you found other uses for your old stuff? If so what?
