Hi all!

We created a cool new app and hope you will enjoy it too.

The app's name is "Mobile Media Center".

You can use it to listen to music, watch pictures, play videos and keep up with RSS feeds/podcasts/vodcasts, all on your Windows Mobile device.

It can be controlled by the touch of your finger. Actually is was created because we missed a good looking media player that can be used while driving a car.

To get an impression of Mobile Media Center, please take a look at the screenshots below.

More information can be found here: http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl

The Start page:

The Music page:

The Pictures page:

The video player page:

Oh, did I mention it's available for free?!

Update 07/03/2009:

Today we released version 1.0.2.

It appeared we made an error in the setup package: a file, that is required for bluetooth control of the player (AVRCP support), was not included in the setup...

This error was repaired in version 1.0.2.

Update 07/01/2009:

Today we released version 1.0.1, which includes most of the remarks made so far:

On the RSS page a button "Read all" was added. When this button is pressed, all items in the RSS feed will be marked as "read".

When changing the settings, the keyboard (input panel) will now appear whenever you have to enter text.

The Videos page will now show 3GP and 3G2 files as well.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramontrotman:
congrats on your release!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] waseb:
Thanks for this will test when i have the new ROM.

I have only one Question, what file format the Video player play ?

Waseb
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OABsoftware:
Mobile Media Center can play all formats that Windows Media Player can play (it actually uses Windows Media Player for the playback)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] incubus26jc:
it looks and works fantastic! i had to right click on the download. left click did not work. thanks for the app!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] blazingwolf:
Does not show .3g2 videos taken by the camera on my Omnia i910. WMP does play these videos.

Some other issues I see.

Small graphics glitch where the timer is. Landscape album cover needs to be moved.

Feature request:

Allow people to create new skins in an easy manner.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lpaso:
great soft :)

You're not far from perfection ;)

Keep going !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] segadc:
Impressive!:cool: Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AYAMY:
great software..

but I think that you should use bigger buttons....IMHO they are too small and too near each other to call this application really finger frindly....

Perhaps you could introduce an option to set a bigger button look ...

On My Omnia (WQVGA) They are too small ... at least They shoul be twice to be used while driving a car:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Aegishua:
Its definitely a great app, its just the buttons are a little small as stated above and also its a bit choppy.. but regardless, Good Work! keep it up xD
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jeanne8fr:
Feed Back

Just installed on my Omnia.

I like it but:

The 2 buttons are a little small.

When trying to add RSS feed, the soft keyboard doesn't pop. Impossible to add anything.

It needs a option to load a OPML file.

Also needs a way to mark a feed as read. I have the same problem with Kinoma. There is no way to mark a whole feed as read so next time you come back, you have no way of knowing if there are new posts. As far as I know that makes it useless as a RSS reader.

My music library is stored in an 'Artist' folder then subfolders for 'Album'. There is a folder.jpg in the album folder but not in the 'Artist' folder. So the main 'My Music' page doesn't show any images until I open the 'Artist' folder and then I can see each albums and their covers. Other players just ignore the 'Artist' folder and show the 'Albums'.

It's a great start for a first release though.

Don't take too long before you release a fix for those problems though. We have short attention spans here.

How do you go about installing the app? I went to the site. http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl/

when I click the download link, I get a frame loading with a bunch of code. Am I supposed to save the frame as something.cab?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] piroteca:
Wow! Nice work!

The idea is great and the realization is good too!

Of course it need some new implementation and improvements...

I think it's important have more compatibilities with video's standard and more fluidity when scrolling pages (for example album page!), bigger buttons it's a good idea too!

Also I'm sure everybody here are happy for this relase, my compliments :)

Please so, relase new versions often!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] coolpoete:
Right-click on the link and "save as" to get it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amtom37:
Excellent!

Looks great! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for all the hard work and it's free! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] holdemdogg:
I like this alot

Yea im liking this alot

runs good on my fuze with 6.5 chrome rom by jmckeejr

I would like to request the files or where to get them to do some skinning on this I got some ideas for some eye candy

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] incubus26jc:
i would like to request the vista media center icon for this app for the start menu. thanks if anyone has it or could make it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hyderpotter:
I just download te program, but when i click on Settings, RSS. I find that I can not type any letter as I can not see the keyboard icon at the botton of the PDA.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djdafreund:
Very nice work!! Thank you so much for this app. I also hate the GUI looks of all the mediaplayers i have scene to date, and LOVE that we kind of have a mediacenter style program FINALLY!!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the0ne:
nice app, needs a bit more polished UI but a great app nonetheless. Thanks for it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noelch:
great application, i try in now

[Windows Mobile Software Development] RalyDSM:
being a huge Windows Media Center fan I really love the idea of this app. I have two main problems with it so far though.

1. There isn't a "green button" that will take you all the way back to the home screen. Clicking the back button a bunch of times gets pretty annoying.

2. AVRCP isn't working at all for me. I only need it to be able to pause/play and skip/rev, but none of that is working.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] humrod:
Looks veeeery interesting....i'm gonna try it now.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] blazingwolf:
Just installed 1.01. .3g2 videos now show. Thank you. :)

Landscape audio is still an issue. I rotated my device and the album cover is still to low (look at my previous image) and this time it crashed back to the today screen. :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] juanjo767:
THANKS!!!

First off, this is a nice piece of software, that's worth $$. Do you have a paypal account set up?

I have found two negatives though. How in the world do you get rid of the chiming sound???

When you click on anything, it makes a sound that is extremely annoying after the 50th time that you click something (especially since I work in an office.) There is nothing in the settings to change this. If you change the view from "vista feel" to "xp feel", the sound changes to something different, but it's still there.

All in all, it's extremely easy to use, and very intuitive. I will definitely get a lot of use out of this app. Not to mention it has a minimize button!! However, that's also the second negative.

The minimize/kill buttons are only on the main screen. When you are in the music player or photo viewer, you don't have those buttons. That would not be such a huge problem, however you are overriding the call end button press. So pressing call end will not take you back to your home screen. You should either not override the call end button, or you should add the minimize/kill buttons to every screen IMHO.

One question, in the photo viewer, are you lowering the resolution of the pictures in order for the viewer to render the pictures quicker? If so, would it be possible to allow the user to decide in the settings whether or not the resolution was lowered?

Thanks again for this app!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] juanjo767:
one more thing....

If you're going to be updating the software, you need an about screen (at least I didn't see one.) That way we can see what version we're using. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MPowerF1:
I just downloaded the app and have been playing around. Couple of things:

At least for me, selecting "play all" on an artist's page which include multiple albums does not work. This is particularly annoying when I have multi-disc albums but can't get them to load into the same queue without queueing each up individually.

The Media Center-esque bongs are cool but annoying when I am already playing music. A disable feature would be nice.

The scrolling text at the top of the playing screen is nice but seems to use up more juice than is worth. Additionally, the playing screen is well presented but could use some more polish. Things like knowing what percentage of volume is currently set is handy. And for whatever reason for me, whenever I am on the playing screen, I can't get back to a home screen.

Overall, I love the idea. It's a lot more finger friendly than windows media player. It just needs some polishing before I would use it as a replacement.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] refthemc:
I like the idea of this app. Good job guys
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tonev:
Hey hey hey cool software can i be in the graphics team. I like this sooooo much and i want to help too i am great at graphics
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alabij:
Nice App. Downloading now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] iggy:
looks good but after my initial testing I would suggest, buttons are too small, I am talking all buttons on all screens, so not quite finger friendly.

started playing music but could not stop or switch to next track.

started looking at photos but could not swipe to next or previous photos.

looking forward to when this is completed.

EDIT: also possibility to show taskbar would be better.

Mobile Media Center

Just installed it today on my IPAQ Hx4705 on which I recently installed the Alkor RC 2.2 version of WM6.1.

Media Center working great, given the old Pocket PC a new lease of life!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Chris Tham:
Hi - just found out about this app. Looks good so far!!!

Can you make it read ID3 tags (album name, artist, song name) etc.?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djdafreund:
Hey, blad to see a new version with fixes is out already. I already LOVE this piece of work and will be following up with it frequently. I have a lot of idea's for ya also. I do a lot of graphics for a few XBMC known skins. I would love to hopefully port Front-Row over as much as possible with the current capabilities. Would love to see some more screen usage for landscape mode's. Please contact me if you get a chance, i would like to help out with this however i can.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zenkinz:
will this play videos streamed from media server that's DLNA/UPNP compliant?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
Great Idea

Thanks a lot for this app :)

For improvement I agree with iggy and mpowerF1

It would be great to be able to minimise with the red hardware button like most apps.

All being said, this app is amazing as is, especially the reading of music files by folders :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OABsoftware:
Version 1.0.2 now available

Hi all.

We just uploaded version 1.0.2 of Mobile Media Center to our website.

It appeared we made an error in the setup package: a file, that is required for bluetooth control of the player (AVRCP support), was not included in the setup...

Please check the website: http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fluke:
Cool app, congrats for your work, keep it up;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fladna9:
Hi ! Works very well on Omnia. Great app !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] y0himba:
Wonderful aplication! Thanks! Now if I could figure out how to make the 'Music' tab use this instead of the HTC application on my HTC Fuze...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DeathAxe:
App doesn't play flash on my e-ten m700 running WM6.5 :/.

Does it use windows codecs only?

Pictures / buttons look a bit pixeled with QVGA.

The way it handles media, is great and easy.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hittingsmoke:
This is fantastic other than some minor annoyances like lack of a shuffle feature for music and what seems to be a much slower download speed for podcasts that my other RSS readers. Not sure what that's about but it's very obviously slower in downloading my podcasts and brings my device to a slow crawl when accessing the storage card to save them.

I would like to request a feature for streaming media. A section in the online tab to add a *.pls online radio stream would be wonderful. The only app I've found to correctly handle it so far is Kinoma and I'm not a fan of it.

This is what I'd like to be able to listen to using Mobile Media Center, http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/KRBZFM.pls
[Windows Mobile Software Development] The_Steph:
OABsoftware,

Your software looks really promising. Keep up the good work.

One question anyway, do you plan to support Pause/Resume over soft resets?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] The_Steph:
Sorry, double posted

Crashes on settings

When I click on settings it crashes for me.

I'm using an HTC 5800 with WM Pro 6.1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] efjay:
Can this app also create playlists? Would be a nice feature to move completely away from the builtin WMP.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wonsanim:
Wow the Interface is amazing,I Just Install I play a Little now and latter tell the expirience
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hkwin99:
Thanks for your great job. However, I got a question, what should I do if I want to play all songs (not individual CD) at one time. I pressed "play all" but no respond?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the.amadeus:
Turn off sound?

Great little app! Can confirm it works on Omnia!

Question though, how do I turn off the clicking sound, when clicking through he menus?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] law2too:
music streaming over wifi choppy

I tried listening to mp3 songs streaming over my home wifi network.

Result: For every 15-second duration (or so) of playback, it paused 1 second and then resumed playing (and then paused, playing ...)

Is it just me? (I tried using TCPMP and streaming over wifi is smooth and perfect)

Also, things are fine if I play back files in sd card.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Why call it Windows Media Center for Mobile when it's not? :)

Hi!

Why call it Windows Media Center for Mobile when it's not?

You can't hook this up with your PC's existing WMC! So please call it something else, i was fooled and spent some time wondering why and how before i got it :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djdafreund:
Are you kidding me? It's called that because that's what it is. Breaking it down, "'Windows' (since it IS windows. WM, but a form of windows by definition from microsoft) 'Media Center' (functions as a media center, or rather the center of playing multiple media formats.) 'for Mobile' (for mobile phones.) I think your confused as to what media center means. As media center doesn't mean a program has to connect to a PC. But rather a media center, or media player that allows you to play or view media. This actually covers all those grounds. Nothing says a media player has to be allowed connections from other devices nor play from PC, although it DOES already if you use the network plugin (and great too. Wireless media player around the house.) The description actually fits. Did you actually waste more then like a minute to install this? And do you not enjoy this really great program? (Considering it's actually to date the FIRST one to offer you this type of setup and media center GUI interface, instead of the others out there (IE- TCPMP or coreplayer or WMP does play files, but still only would show you a list to choose from.) I think this program is great myself and i would love to help contribute to this project, as i am skilled with skinning 2 other major programs (FoFiX and XBMC) and would love to port over a XBMC skin i co-work on, with the capabilities we have currently at least, and hopefully will continue to further develop into more functionality in the GUI and also overall.

This guy deserves props. This is great, and i pinned this just to keep track of it's progress.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Showtime7:
This is very convenient, sometimes WM is just too complicated. Most people can't get to my pictures, music or videos if I let them see my phone. This looks like a really practical app that will simplify one of the main uses of my phone which would be media.

Question: Is it skinnable? If not, is there any intentions to make it so in the future?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

I know what everything means, but i would call it Windows Multimedia Center to separate them. This software has nothing to do with windows media center at all. You can't build a car and call it Rolls Royce just because you like to... :)

And i never said that there was any wrong with the program, just the name :)

I think what ever you say that this name is misleading and give people hopes up on being able to connect to the real deal on the PC and listen or watch media stuff from a PC.

And i like it alot, but just not the name :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
How did you manage to connect it or find media on your wifi?

\\network\Todde-PC\F\ does not work....

having touble downloading from the site.

oes anye ave an alternative download link or could atach it to XDA? I tried downloading it with OperaMini and PIE8. didnt work. :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] donhkerr:
Great app - along with some previous posts would ask for a few updates in the next version.

1. Ability to "play all" from top of music media tree. Am using WMP to sync music from Win7 to WinPhone, this brings music to my phone in folder structure by artist, then album. At root of this folder structure when choosing "Play all" only the music files in the root folder are played. Would like WMfM to play music in folders as well.

2. Close app from any screen or "Green" button - in 1.0.2 you must navigate "back" to top of app to close it. Would be good to implement either ability to close the app from any screen, or a "Green" button to go back to home then close.

3. Shuffle/Repeat - when playing music would be great to have shuffle & repeat buttons.

Overall - as a WMC user, this is a great app. Very finger friendly with 6.5 on the Raphael, hope you guys get this into Marketplace, I'd pay $$ for it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bornotty:
this is brilliant.. was waiting for something like this..

but dont know about VGA but in QVGA the images looks very dizzy and pixeled cause of the screen resolution.. cant u use better images.. which will have the feel of Media center too.. and will support QVGA resolution at the same time.. =)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bullseye:
Great! finally we can play one folder instead from the total WM libary!

great work. Scrolling is a bit sluggish but it play so i'm happy.

Blackjack II

Is this program supposed to work on non-touchscreen devices? I installed it on my Blackjack II running WM 6.1 but when I click on "Settings" it exits the program. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djdafreund:
I hope this is still being developed!! It's been a while since anything has happened with it. This is a great piece of software. The only one i have seen released to be honest. In a MC style program at least. Plenty of players sure, but mostly just a list view player, versus this is actually like a media center style program.

Please don't give up!!! No rush, but as long as there is some progress. I would love to honestly help develop, and port over some xbmc theme's, mostly the one i help work on. "Back-Row"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wonsanim:
wow looks great and is working great also in my device
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joju:
doesn't work

When i click on settings and choose my storage card it crashes:mad:. Any solutions or suggestions?

I use HTC Hermes TYTN with WM 6
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djchrishart:
it's been asked over and over, but no answers from anyone...

How do you make this work with a NAS on a home network that uses UPnP? I see a tab named 'UPnP' and the option 'Use UPnP to access media files' is grayed out. I've also tried pointing all of my paths to something similar to \\network-name\My Music, etc. with no luck.

HELP!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] zidane:
does the HTC magic support up to 16 or 32gb Sd card?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Trndr:
I read somewhere that it supports up to 16 gb sd card.

All i know is my 16 gb works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] bastage:
Theoretically if it supports 16 it should support 32.. & Since we know it does support 16 32 should work..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] ClintonH:
I have a 16gb in mine works perfect, but this question is kind of pointless anyway. Can you even buy a 32gb microSD ? I haven't found one.

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] bastage:
there are some test units running in the wild, I Would expect them to show up at the big etailers any time now..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] ukon:
Hmm. I have not found any 32GB versıons off the Micro SD cards.

I do just have a 16GB one.

However I do not know how the phone works.

All I know ıs that it is in my mail at home.

Just cant wait to try it.

Gonna be exciting to see how it is compared to iPhone 3G and SE X1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] bonesy:
It will support pretty much any microsdhc card the higher class the better chance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] krys2fur:
Is Class 6 that important?

I'm getting a MyTouch today. Is it better to get a 8Gig Class 6 over getting a 16Gig Class 4. Is the speed much of differance in day 2 day operations? Yes, the answer would just get a 16Gig Class 6 but, the price is a little high compared to the Class 4 models. So, more storage or speed?:confused:
