Sorry double post due to site errors :( Makes me feel even dumber LOL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Download the streams-widget on the first post. Download the install enable cab on the first post. Transfere both to your device. Install the enable cab. Double click the widget and it will guide you trough installation.

Worked so for me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
here's a list of everything in the zip file. By the way when I donload it is a zip and not a wgt file. This caught me off guard.

-"images" folder
-"js" folder
-"style" folder
-config.xml
-icon.png
-streams_T_PDA.htm
-streams_T_PDA.ico

Thats it. Tried opening every file in there with wmwidgetinstaller.exe and all say unable to unpack. Nevermind, didn't realize I had to open the .zip with wmwidgetinstaller.exe. Every time I double clicked with resco it just opens the zip to view content. I got it now. Maybe should let ppl know you must open the zip with wmwidgetinstaller instead of unpacking it. Thanks, giving it a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Strange, i downloaded the wgt file as wgt file, and after installing the cab just double clicked on the wgt file and it installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] norkoastal:
My .wgt file triggers the error message listed above after cab install and a soft reset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I didnt soft reset after cab install. Just installed the cab and then doubleclicked the wgt file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] norkoastal:
after DL both items I installed the cab, then clicked the wgt file. I tried moving both files to the Program Files folder, but it still wouldn't launch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Very good idea. Cant wait to see a VGA version. I havent actually been able to stream anything. But I like the idea. Every time I try to stream it tries to open OperaL.exe and says could not open OperaL. My Opera is in windows folder. Do I need to put it somewhere else? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
If you have resco explorer, try to use "open with..." and open with wmwidgetinstaller.exe in windows folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
For people with problems installing the wgt file, check if the file "\Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe" exists. If not, then you have an old version of wm 6.5 or you don't have wm6.5.

To install, just run the enable widget cab and after that you can click on the widget (in the file explorer, try not to use any othere explorer program).

The widget is an packed zip file where the files will be put in the right folder by wm6.5. So if you click the widget and still, after installing the cab, get an error message, it won't work. You can't just extract the widget and copy it to a folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I will upload the vga version tomorrow.

About the error you get, if you click on the streams link the widget will open that link with your default browser. Apparently your default browser is OperaL.exe, and the widget runs on the internet explorer engine.

I don't know how to solve that, but you should try to open internet explorer and set it as the default browser. It should work then, and you can simply open opera by using a shortcut.

Let me know if that works
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Thanks for the reply. I just copied my opera exe's to windows\opera9 and it is working. Gonna love it when the text is bigger. Is it possible to add in the settings to select which program the video will play through?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abombletap:
Does NOT WORK

3. Run the enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab and install it

I did step three and it installed it

4. Click on the streams_widget_windowsmobile_v1.wgt, it should popup with the question if you want to install the widget.

I get the question "There is no application associated with "streams_widget_windowsmobile_v1". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application

4a. If it does not work, look if the file "\Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe" exists, if not it will not work at the moment. If it does exist, post a reply here and I'll try to help

It does exist and i click on it and i get "Error Launching the Widget"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rost2006:
It works good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lotherius:
wmwidgetinstaller.exe does not exist - none of the cabs here provide it, not sure what they are supposed to be doing if not this? I could recook my ROM (and waste nearly a megabyte of space with useless widgets) or could someone make a cab that just provides widget support without weather/money/live search bloatware?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjanes0918:
first reply wow

I am sorry to be your first reply but I am having difficulties. I installed the cab and then clicked on the w.gt file and the following message appeared "There is no application associated with stream_widget_windows-mobile_v1. Run the application first , then open the file from within the application"

I checked for the file you asked me to check for and it does exist .

Hopefully this information will give you an easy fix

running ENERGY ROM3.0

WM6.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Try using resco explorer or total commander and go the folder where the widget file is located. Use the option "open with" and browse to \Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe. That should work. Let me know if it does :)

Which version of windows mobile do you have? Nearly all wm6.5 roms I know have the wmwidgetinstaller.exe, the cabs just provides a registry setting that connects the wgt extension to wmwidgetinstaller.exe. At the moment I don't know how the give roms without the wmwidgetinstaller.exe support for widgets.

Try a soft reset and try again. If it still does not work, download resco explorer or total commander and do the same I said in the first part of this post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] B4PJS:
I had this when I tried to run a stream straight after a ROM flash, so I just went and launched opera to make sure it was cooked in, then went back and the stream then launched fine!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] B4PJS:
To get the widgets to install properly, you also need to check these reg entries exist:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.widget]
@="riapp"
"Content Type"="application/x-wm-widgets"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-wm-widgets]
"Extension"=".widget"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wgt]
@="riapp"
"Content Type"="application/widget"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/widget]
"Extension"=".wgt"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Thanx! I've just added these registry settings to the cab as well. So anyone who does have the widgetinstaller and who can't install the widgets, redownload the cab on the first post and it should work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sapiora:
I managed to instal this with the 5-steps-method and it workd great! Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biomehanika:
Excellent work !

I've been able to install the widget following the 5 steps as well.

What method did you use to compile the .wgt?

I was of the impression (from WMDC) that they were simply .zip files renamed to .wgt, but when I try that I get the message "This widget is not compatible with this device"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
That's correct, just make sure that if you extract it yourself it does not include a folder.The problem could also lay in a wrong config.

If it still won't work, you can sent it in a zip to me and I'll try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smo1a:
great job. perfect install for vogue on nfsfan 6.5 v10. many thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Just updated the app to version 1.4

It now look beautiful on vga and qvga devices. It will adjust the layout according to the device you install it on.

Also added a webcam button and changed the layout a bit. If you already downloaded it, just follow the intruction on the start screen.

Otherwise:

Download the new version

Uninstall the old version

Install the new version

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FactorVIII:
I was able to install it, but whenever i click the tv, webcam or radio tab nothing happens. The little circle just keeps spinning.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
When you start it, do you see the start screen? With your version number?

And do you have an internet connection?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Is it possible to get a version with only VGA? I made this cab and converted it to a package for my kitchen, but I get VGA text with QVGA images. I know it has something to do with the way it is installed, possibly it determines the screen res itself when installed the normal way, but not when cooked in. This is an awesome app and deserves to be included in ROMs. Hope someone can help out with making it display correctly. I've attatched my cab(havent tested other than converting to package and cooking) for anyone who would like to test it. This would give the ability to uninstall, so hopefully someone will test it and let us know if it displays correctly on yoiur device. Please tell what resolution you are using and any details you feel might help. And also if it works correctly(connects to internet, streams video, etc).

EDIT: After typing all of this and reading it, I think I know what is wrong(duh). The images have the same name and when cooking them in they overwrite each other. Anyway, here is a cab if anyone wants to try it. Might still need the enable widgets cab, although I'm not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Ehm, did you download the new version 1.4? That one determines everytime you start it (and not during installation) wether you have qvga or vga. And it works with me.

If it's not working, I can send you a wgt file with only the vga version (saves a little bit of space). Let me know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Someone told me (abombletap, can't send message back because you disabled that) that when one clicks a stream it first will open ie mobile and then the media player.

Are there other people who would like to see that changed? Let me know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] B4PJS:
It would be nice if it downloaded the stream file from within the app so that it only opened the media player :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
+1 for that. Would also be awesome to load the next page faster, like cache a lot since most of the menus dont really change, like countries.

EDIT: Even better, either use a bookmark system or have it load where it left off. I find it time consuming to go through all the menus just to get to an actual stream. Would be nice to get to watching the stream faster :D

@Themuzz

Thanks, but I just removed all of the QVGA stuff. OEM is working fine now. It was the duplicates that got me. Forgot to check before converting it :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irisht:
+2 for that... seeing as most of the downloades streams are in .asx and for some reason WMP cant open it and TCPMP can be a bit of a pain to look for files.

I agree... I listen to tons of music and thus far my choice of apps has been Kinoma Play for streaming. I see a ton of potential for this widget. Trying to navigate and then load United States with some 3700 streams in it can be a bit cumbersome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irisht:
By the way, installed without failure ( 2 step .cab install) Energy ROM 6/13. However every time I load it on the main screen it says "requested page cannot be displayed at this time". Is that normal or is there an issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Hmm, that's not normal. So if you start the widget you get that message on the screen? And if you click televsion, webcam or radio, does it than work??

So you don't see at the start the message with your version and the new version? If not, try to click the logo and you should see that message then.

Let me know, i'll try to edit it.

I'll look at opening the stream from within the widget, but from how it look at the moment that's not possible. I try to set the document location to the stream but it's not working. Not even with an iframe... So has anyone else an idea?

About the caching, I think I can edit that :) I'll look at that one to
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irisht:
Yeah, I get that message every time I Load it but yes, when I click Tele, Webcam and Radio it does in fact load the appropriate page and works fine. Just a tad slow loading pages. I think caching is a definite must for this app and would speed it up a ton... As for opening streams from within the widget is it possible to just embed a media player so when the streams are selected they play within the app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I can't find much about running the stream from the widget, without the ie mobile popup. I tried using javascript but the widget is well sandboxed. But there is one possibility, the widget can use flash.

So if anyone has some flash skills and could create a flash player which can be embedded to the widget I can feed the url of the stream to the player.

About the caching, that's also quite hard, because the widget is sandboxed. I will look further, but any help is welcome :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
I get the same error message at first loading, but everything else works fine. No rush on the add-ons, we're just offering up some subjective criticism. If it is possible do it, if not I can survive ;) Hopefully some other developers can help out with the flash thing and cache. Thanks for the widget, its a welcome addition to my ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irisht:
Did a little looking around and I found 2 possibilities for flash media players. Check em out

http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
That could be TWolf, he is a flash expert :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I'll try the flash player Irisht posted tonight. It's probably to big for the screen. Otherwise I'll contact TWolf :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I need some help guys, I can't get any further...

At the moment I'm trying to make one of the following options work:

- use a flash player to view the streams

- use embed windows media player to view the stream

- use javascript to load the stream without first opening internet explorer

All of them have problems:

The mobile team said that the widgets support flash, but at the moment internet explorer mobile (the engine) does not support flash and I can't find a way to install it. Perhaps someone knows??

Next, I found some stuff to embed windows media player on a mobile page viewed with internet explorer mobile, see here[/URL

But this also does not work inside internet explorer mobile (or inside the widget).

And about the javascrip, I can't find a way to load the data and then launch windows media player. I also tried document location but that also doesn't work.

So, can anyone help? Apperently I'm not that good at programming pages on windows mobile :)

And I will look at the caching :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] otterdude27:
I found the .exe file but it doesn't do anything. I looked in the registry and couldnt find

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\riapp\Shell\Open\Command]@="wmwidgetinstaller.exe %1"

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Install the widgetinstaller enable cab in your device, then click on the widget and it will install.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irisht:
Any word on some progress Themuzz?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Well, I'm still thinking how to solve the above problems.

But besides that, I'm kinda busy at the moment so end of next week I'll release a new version with search possibility and page numbers :)

Anything else, let me know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twopumpchump:
ext pkg and cab installer

some of you may have already figured this out, but i was asking muzz earlier for an oem pkg or how to get the widget to auto install if cooked in rom and he didnt know....so ive figured it out and thought i would share with everybody. seems for the widget to install it has to have the extension .widget , not .wgt. so here is an ext pkg you can add to your kitchen, with the reg entries already added. also i made up a .cab using the same theory that should work, i havent had time to test it because i have the widget already cooked in my rom and dont have time to flash again. so if someone could test this .cab and let me know if it works or not would be nice. you have to have the wm 6.5 widgets already installed on your rom first for the cab to work, the reg entries are also included in cab so no need to install the reg cab from first post :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kothrud123:
wmwidgetinstaller missing

I am using Mystic ROM and can't find wmwidgetinstaller.exe in \Windows. Can someone please cab it and post it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Dude seriously, thank you!!! I didn't see this post, most of the time I'm monitoring your topic of TPC Elite :)

At the moment I'm not able to test it, but perhaps next weekend I'll try to cook a rom :) Also I'll try to release a new version by then.

Btw, are there still people having the problem that the startpage gives an error? If so, could someone please quote the error shown?

I think that won't work. You also need riahost.exe and some other file. You need to get all those file and the registry entries. twopumpchump has a package for the widgets which he can include inside his roms, but I don't know this works inside a cab.

And twopumpchump, thanks again!! :D:D And which rom includes the widget? v5.1 not at the moment?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twopumpchump:
v6 which im releasing tomorrow or next day will have it included, if you have newer version let me know i will use it. funny how all you have to do is re-name it to .widget to make it work lol. i never tried the cab but im sure it has to work as well, try it and if it does maybe ill put together a complete cab where people can install on any 6.5 rom even without other widgets installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clickclickpc:
Works fine on Timolol's WM6.5 ROM by just running the .WGT file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Guys, I'm sorry for all the late responses. But at the moment I'm on my way to tunisia for vacation :)

So, the next two weeks I won't post an update, but after that I'll release a perfect version (I hope).

Sorry, again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Sounds awesome. Have a good vacation. Think I'm about due for one of those too ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdm_2809:
TPC did you include this in the 6.1 Rom? I have your rom however I did not see it as one of the listed plugins.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Hi guys,

I'm back, and with a new version :) number 1.8

I've added the possiblity to add streams which you watch more often to your favorites. I also added a search function.

Next to those two great options (:)) I also fixed the error when starting up together with some small bug fixes.

I'm also able to save settings between start ups of the widget, but I don't know which options I should add. So let me know and I'll add them this week :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Looks great! - will try it and give feedback afterwards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twopumpchump:
im not cooking a 6.1 rom anymore, im sure it wont work lol but never tried. flash my latest v8 and its already in it :) ask muzz how it is ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Definitely the best rom I ever flashed to my kaiser. Used it for 24 hours and only 20% battery drop!

I also added the widget engine to the first post, so if people want to add the widget (and engine) to their rom (if they cook them), just use the package.

Twopumpchump has uploaded the package, so all thanx go to him:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gullum:
This is one realy good and (usefull) adition to WM phones

Simple and easy to listen or watch. this will make it's way into my roms too.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Thanks! I'm kinda missing the feedback from people, don't know what to add or change next :( :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gullum:
Well I've only played with it for an hour yet and can't think of anything to change or add yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Your not going to tell me it's perfect? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
Coreplayer?

Is it possible to have an option that streams get opened by coreplayer in stead of WMPlayer?

Really funky app, like it...

Also use myplayer to watch the bbc etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] afripino:
my only gripe is the extremely long time it takes to verify the United States streams. there are thousands (3000+), so load time for US streams is terrible. great app/widget otherwise. anyway to add the option to disable stream verification or can it be set to do this after the list of stations is loaded? perhaps when a station is selected it can verify at that moment? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
I tried downloading radionova from france. it would not download.

also it was looking for a file with an .asx extension, not m3u like on their site on the pc.

ended up having to go to novaplanet.com and download it manualy and then find the stream link in my temporary internet files folder.

so none of the other links worked either. I tried about a half a dozen. all came up with the same message in pie:

"cant download the file"

do I need to have omethng else installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Themuzz:
That's not possible, the widget is located inside a sanbox where I can't call any function of windows mobile. Actually it is a webpage without the internet explorer borders, that's why when you click a link it wil first open a browser and then download the stream file: inside the sandbox it's not allowed to download files.

Good point! Actually, it's not the verification that takes so much time, it's the downloading of the huge list and displaying it. But I will make a page numbering, so the list get's shorter and one can browse between different page numbers.

I don't really understand what your saying. But the widget download an *.asx file which contains the streaming information. So if your default browser is not internet explorer (you have PIE), it is possible that the browser does not understand what to do with that kinda file. Perhaps you can add a setting somewhere to open *.asx files with windows media player.

So the program should look for an asx file (because windows media player can always play that, and sometimes there are more sources for one streams and then they are all bundled inside one asx file).

More feedback is welcome :) Will start this week with adding the page numbering :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gullum:
maybe not perfect but verry close :D

I was going to ask if the default player could be changed.. because I can't seam to be able to watch full screen. but that is already answered.

The ide of pages is realy good ide.

I realy would love to be able to have it run on first boot but I just can't figure out how that can be done with the config.txt or maybe there is a way with provxml but I don't know how
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twopumpchump:
do you mean run from first boot when cooking....as in like the other wm widgets? if so, just change the ext. to .widget and put it in windows folder ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gullum:
dam :D was it that simple I'll do it right away
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twopumpchump:
lol yes i know, i spent all day one day trying to figure out something sooo simple :) i posted an oem pkg a few pages back guess you missed it ;) if you have any trouble getting it to work pm me ill send you my new pkg.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kernman:
works great

works great....running 6.5 energy rom....thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gullum:
Works like a sharm :D also found that I can open widgets with winrar and edit it from there. so maybe widgets editing (making) can be simplyfied by extracting then modding and rebuilt.
