I can't really get out of the palyer screen. Just cant minimize/close the SDL window... Maybe you could add a config to choose the buttons functions. Some of the newer devices don't have a d-pad (I have an Omnia and that's one of the things I miss in it). Is guessing more work is going to done on the GUI. I'd love to have some touchscreen buttons to control playback (something simple like in TCPMP).

Also if you're going to do a web video streaming plugin system I'd suggest you do a general plugin that use some sort of script file (text based) to give the specific commands for how to rip/stream files from each video site (one script per site... I suggested this for WVD). Siomething similar to PSPTube (it has a couple of scripts... don't know if it can help in any way). It has the major advantage that updating the settings of a site or adding new ones doesn't require a recode or recompile, people with the knowledge can contribute scripts and the web streaming feature could remain updated even if you don't have time to do it (with proper community support that is). If you do create such a plugin then adding support for vp6/flv4 would be really useful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

in the next release i will do a youtube search an stream plugin. A gui just like tcpmp is not planned jet, because ffplay has not really a gui on desktop too.

But i will see what i can do ... :-)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chihliouma:
Can it play the rmvb/ rmv files ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Try it :) i dont know it yet. but when i have time i will test it.

Greatz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chihliouma:
No, it won't work with RM or RMVB files. You can hear the audio/ voice, but no video (totally blank).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sx1-doc:
it look like it doesnt support wvga .

on ma xperia it plays in vga full screen .

thanksfor the efforts
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

yes. at the moment the fullscreen mode supports only vga and scale it to screen size.

But i will see if i can fix this.

At the moment i work on an youtube search plugin.

It works but not stable yet.

With the new Version i did this changes on hardware buttons:

Click on Display - Exit

Center Hardware Button - Pause

Left Hardware Button - Rewind

Right Hardware Button - Forward

So newer Devices now can exit the video file. The next big change is, that i have done a little timer that stops standby on the device when ffplay is open.

So ... Please checkout the new Version and give me a small feedback.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Tapping screen works fine to exit movie so that's great. in due course vga/wvga support would be good and of course more control with the movie for pause/forward/back etc... Not sure how you would do that with new devices without a software control bar of some sort. Would be good to have it appear on screen when you tap display.

I tried to open some mms protocols but it didn't work. What url protocols will it support?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mancukya:
why removed full screen mods ?

and thanks for new version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vololo:
Ive tried it now it works excellent. i think this is gonna be something great, cos it plays flv files that coreplayer and tcpmp doesnt support. That is the best part. i feel this gonna be something really special. Great job mccoffein! keep doing what your doing . Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

sorry. i cant follow you. i dont remove full screen mods ... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

Thanks. In the future with next versions i will do a control bar e.g. tcpmp.

All decoders given from ffmpeg (SVN Checkout Date 15-July-2008) are available. And libfaad is available too.

But i will do a new built of ffmpeg with a new svn checkout.

I have done a new Version of the YouTube Plugin ... Check it out! :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
Seems to wok fine. Just notice that if forget to enable wifi and do a search it'll crash. Also I've run into some videos that crashed it though...

I suggest to give the option to select the quality of the video (mobile, normal or high). Usefull to select best option depending on connection speed or download limits.

About the player itself I noticed it crashes on WMV and lags on WMA. RMVB only has audio. Also my H264 mp4 files fail.

Hope a newer build of a more recent SVN fixes this. In the meanwhile using wma9procoder.dll and wmv9decoder (they are in Windows folder in WinMo 6.1 devices) could be an alternative. About rmvb I once found these files for WMP (currently useless for WMP since it supports the format... though badly).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

whats your connection settings. Before it starts to search an url it automatically try connect to the "Internet" Network.

Yes, when the Player runs "stable" i will do a new ffmpeg svn checkout to build it with newer sources.

Greatz

I used Modaco NoData in the past to disable all the connections using the phone (to avoid expensive incidents). My wireless was disabled (I forgot to turn it on).

I forgot to enable the wireless. Tryed to do a search using the YouTube plugin and it crashed (no big deal... but maybe you could address this so that it handles the situation more gracefully).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

yes i know. next time i will include a status handling in the connectionmanager.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy Guys,

i have done the first release of the dailymotion plugin for ffplay. It is available to download. And i have done a new Version of ffplay.

Enjoy it and please give me your feedback!!! :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I forgot ... For the Dailymotion Plugin you need to update your ffplay Version to v1.0.0.3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
Nice to see you're adding support for more sites. But rather than doing a plugin for each website wouldn't it be better to do (and update) a powerful generic video website plugin to handle all websites?

As I suggested before I was thinking in a plugin that would relly on a text based file (non compiled... so anyone can add/update a website) to give the instruction for how the plugin needs to works with each website. One config file per website.

We would use the plugin to select which website to seach (much like the way we currently choose the search parameters for YouTube or Daylymotion).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy frmariam,

next time i will do a svn for ffmpeg because it stands under LGPL. But at the moment i will do more stable and i am not sure i anyone is interested in developing on this port.

To Plugins ... At the moment i will do some other websites, because i will show the users that i will do more support to search the streams on windows mobile.

At least i think you are right. A more powerfull plugin, that will do all websites would be great!!!

I will think about it and then i post my desicion.

I consider to do a own website to ffplay.

HI, great work!

Your download page has "htttp, tpc, and udp" files."

What are they for?

What do we do with the downloads?

Hope this doesn' sound too foolish
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

thanks for your accolade.

First ... No question is foolish!!! :)

This files i have changed on the ffmpeg svn. I wrote a tutorial to build out ffmpeg for WinCE / Windows Mobile. The files are needed to do an successfull built. Thats the reason i post on download section.

Finally you dont need it if you would run ffplay on your device. Its only for compiling.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I have done a new Version of the Dailymotion Plugin.

**** Metacafe Plugin is in Beta Testing **** :) :) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
Nice :) Another update!

I found this so I guess I'll report it (even though it's very trivial). It's in both video plugins.

There's a tiny aestetical issue due to the width (or number of text chars) of the result items from searches. It makes so that a horizontal scrollbar will show at the bottom.

It's a pretty trivial thing I know :p Should be easy enough to fix if you reduce the size by a couple of pixels (maybe one less char in the text).

Also I have a suggestion.

I know that the search process is still slow but it would be great if you could view all the pages containing the search results!

Maybe not displaying them all at once (due to memory usage and search time) but in pages of 10 (or whatever) items.

You'd just have to add a small bar with the page number to the GUI so we could navigate.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy frmariam,

thanks for your bug report. I will fix the bug with the scrollbar with the next release. Maybe tomorrow, because i will implement the new metacafe plugin.

To the search ... Yes i know, the search is not fast enough. But its very difficult. I will see what i can do.

Greatz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
After a little Workaround i have done some Updates on the Plugins. There are new Versions of YouTube and Dailymotion.

And i have done a new ffplay Version and a brand new Plugin called Metacafe!!! :) :) :)

I will do more Plugins for more Video Contents.

If you have a wish plz tell me ...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mancukya:
Thanks for 1.4
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
You are welcome!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
Thanks for another update :) Almost got it... Still 1 pixel too wide (at least for me)... Also I'd love to have all the search results (more than 10). Maybe placed in different pages. Check the image:

As for new websites maybe Google and MySpace videos (AnimeCrazy uses MySpace for anime episodes...).

Also because of AnimeCrazy I found this strange occurance:

1- Play a certain flv video in the storage card from AnimeCrazy in ffplay (not every file crashes... I captured this episode using FlashGot in Firefox...)

2- The video will crash and there'll be a crash report

3- Check the details of the crash report (I have these reports active for who knows what reason...)

4- After that the device would say to format the storage card (of course I ignored that).

5- The storage card is gone from every file explorer (not mounted?)

6- After a reset/reboot everything is fine again (storage card is fine... no errors found with checkdisk)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I will fix the screen "bug" when i have my new device next week (I hope i have it @ next week :) )

I have done a new Photobucket Plugin. You can search by Video Tag or Photo Tag.

You got yourself an awesome device! Makes my Omnia feel old...

Now that you have a wide screen device you'll probably get the same small interface issues I do. Anyway here's a screenshot of the plugin selection menu:

Have fun with your HD :D

PS: Not topic related but check WVGAFIX. It's a real life saver if you use any VGA apps that won't work in WVGA devices! I remember when I got my device I was so mad so many games didn't want to work...

i have prob with Photobucket Plugin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
It's an official Samsung rom with WiMo 6.1 (CE 5.2.20270 build 20270.1.3.1)

I reported this because of the scrollbars and empty space at the bottom (common issue in wide screen devices)... I didn't even know the images were suposed to be small... They used to be small but I think it changed in version 1.0.0.3 1.0.0.4.

My device is (W)QVGA. That may be the cause since my res is half of the Diamond. You have a Diamond and an HD?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
What problem do you have?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Ok. I will see whats the problem ... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

i have done many Updates on ffplay, ffmpeg and the Plugins.

The newest plugin i made is the "Downloader Plugin". With this Plugin you can download files searched by the "Stream Plugins" ...

So check it out! :) :) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Thanks for the update. Just a few things that are happening testing on a Topaz this time.

1. Still unable to open any url addresses as per my post no.47. Have tried mms and http protocols using wifi - can't afford data :-(

2. The plug ins are not so important to me but I tried the you tube one and when I open it I get a continuous process coloured wheel on the screen which does not go away until I press a menu button or search/play/info. It goes away after the message "no files selected" or "no files in the list".

The search on you tube worked but when I tried to play a file again I just got process colured wheel forever so had to cancel.

3. The download plug in icon is a bit stretched on WVGA device but the other plug in icons look fine.

Hope that helps. You have made good progress!

Edit: Forgot to mention when you open a plug in page the pop up menu is blank. Just an idea to have text in the pop up menu on opening so the user quickly knows where to look to take action on the page eg. "Select" or "Options".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :

Hi

I tried this quickly on an HD.

1.Was not able to open .avi file MS error but no details.

2. Tried YouTube plugin and all worked fine. Downloaded a movie successfully but unable to locate it on storage card. I put \Storage Card as the download path.

3. Tried Dailymotion plugin which worked but unable to download a file. Nothing happens when I press download. Used same path as above. Movie plays ok with this plug in.

Thats all I did for now. Hope it helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy,

i have done a new Nightly Build for HTC Touch HD.

2. Comes any error message or so on?

3. Dailymotion plugin is broken for a while, because they changed their rss feed.

With the new Nightly Build i have fixed a bug in the downloader, some screen resolutions and a bug in the systemidletimeout.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
1. \Storage Card. I am back on stock rom which uses NCF 2.0. Maybe that is the problem? Now installed the latest version on Blackstone of Nightly build and tried it with another .avi file and that also would not open and got same MS error. With the ordinary version on Diamond2 I could open one .avi file bit not a second one. The problem seems to be random with ordinary version. D2 also on stock rom using NCF 2.0.

2. The YouTube download has now appeared on the storage card. It took some time to appear.

3. Problems with all plug ins using latest version Nightly build on Blackstone when performing a search. I've attached screen shots. Did not try Dailymotion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I think you dont have a network connection! Right? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Sorry! No idea what happened it was on and can't remember switching it off. :o

Plug ins seem to be working although with YouTube i got a message saying it can't open url and then proceeded to the search playlist as normal once I dismissed this message. While playing video in youtube and metacafe I sometimes get a thick green line either horizontal or vertical on the video screen. Maybe to do with resolution? Just downloaded a file from photobucket and that worked ok.

Establishing association with ffmpeg player

Your player is handling flv files on my imate 9502 beautifully.

But...

How can I establish an "association" with your player? THat is, when I tap on a flv file it is automatically opened by your program.

I've tried and tried, but so far stuck having TCMCP as the associated flv player

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] khaytsus:
A fork is not a bad thing, often projects are forked when the scope or intention of a developer deviates from the original idea. For example if the ffmpeg folks have no intention of doing any Windows Mobile patches or maintenance it makes sense to fork it. However there's always the issue of maintaining the code in parallel with the main branch in that case.

I haven't used your project personally, but as an open source user and small-time developer, simply being a fork should not be a problem for anyone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hy khaytsus,

the devs of ffmpeg had a problem with that i think. So i decided to delete the work. I dont know ... But i think it was the right decision. Maybe i will implement in other software project ... I dont know.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qq108108108:
what a pity,such a great project should be continue!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PierreDiamond:
Yes - I used the ffmpeg and it's a very powerful Application.

The Trend of Developmend is not only here to see - there's a need of support much more plattforms than Desktop.

I hope you could go on with your very good work - perhaps it could be made "official" - so there's no more "fork" ...

Please keep up your good work!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Yes i think so ... :(

But we will se!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] khaytsus:
Sounds like a perfect reason to fork it, vs submitting patches. As I guessed in my post earlier today, they have no intention of accepting or supporting patches for Windows Mobile. My guess was nothing specific to those particular devs, just in general that's often the largest reason for a fork.

Honestly it does sometimes happen that someone will fork a program then not make it real clear that it isn't their work, but that's not the typical reason and I doubt it's the reason here.

Again, I hadn't used your program, but I hope your interaction with the devs isn't the primary reason for ending development. Will they help in the future if you have a specific question which may or may not be related to your fork? Who knows. But as it stands today it sounds like you have every good reason to have forked the code. Follow their original license, attribute the code, etc, and there are no legal or moral concerns.

Cheers, whatever you decide to do!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I will see ... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tovarish:
I can confirm that ffmpeg developers are a bit eccentric. For my work i made changes to ffmpeg so that it worked on solaris, irix, hpux and aix. I tried to submit these patches back to them and I was told that they dont support faulty compilers and c runtimes. This meant my company had to maintain the source changes themselves.

My advice to you would be to put your source code in either google code or sourceforge with the same license. That way your work is not wasted and if there is enough demand for it I could help you with further development. You could send me a private message if you would like that.
