Hi all!

This is the PocketPC Version (Viewer) of PVD the very best program to organize your movies.

You can download the PC version from http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/.

My thoughts were: what is the best movie managing and cataloging software worth while in the movie store and searching for a title... or sitting in front of the TV and trying to remember what cool movie I could watch...

That, and enjoying to write software for my mobile phone, were the reasons for mobilePVD.

The software is published at PVD's home and at xda-developers place.

How it works

First of all, you have to get PVD and enter your movies. After that, make a XML export. This writes a file containing the movie information and a directory containing the pictures. Take both and copy them onto your device. I recommend to copy them onto the SD card in a sub directory PVD.

Download mobilePVD and install it on your device. When starting, you will have to select the XML file by clicking Menu->Open DB. Your can select other languages and other skins (if someone makes them :D).

When going to a sublist in mobilePVD (i.e. viewing the movie details or selecting directories) and you want to get back, just slide with your finger over the list from left to right...

How to translate

In the program directory on the device is a sub directory called "Languages". Within you find the language files. I deployed English and German so far. To make own translations just copy a file to your desktop, open it with any text editor and translate. Please publish your translation on either forum, so I can build the next version with more supported languages.

How to skin

also in the program directory you will find a sub directory "Skin" with all the images I use. The images in "Manila WVGA" are for a resolution of 800x480. If you like you can take those bitmaps and change them to fit other resolutions and other colors. Don't forget to adapt the settings in the skin.ini file.

And please share your work with us and publish your skins on either forum. I will put them in the download section.

Have fun!

Obelix

Changelog:

2.1 Filtering is back and actors are grouped by first letter.

2.0 uses virtual mode to load more movies before reaching end of memory

1.1 out of memory problem fixed

1.0 Initial release

If you like my work, you can buy me a glass of wine

Version 2.1 of mobilePVD
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
I was hoping this allows you to enter movie info directly on mobilePVD. A desktop entry method is rather inconvenient. Would that be possible?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
Does this also mean I have to re-export everytime I add movies? I took a look at the desktop version and it is very good. I can see why it is more practical using the desktop for entry of movie info.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
Obelix_A, I have exported some movies and I must say it looks really nice on my HD2 although it is still not very stable, sometime I get an error that quits the program. It's only 3 movies so I am wondering if it may sow down when I have much more (2,800 in my collection). I would love to have Ratings and duration. It is missing after export. Thanks, this is great for movie lovers just like IMDB Mobile. I am just surprised that there is not much feedback yet.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Demon_man:
I like it to a while to sort all my movies and still didnt get all the pictures from IMDB, hey ho did it manually, i need to change the skins to VGA how do i go about that im a bit of a noobie when it comes to skins?

:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
The Actor list is huge and is close to impossible to scroll all the way down to "T" etc. Can we have a sort of filter to search actor names? trev666, use IMP plugin for movie posters. It's excellent.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Demon_man:
@Kensong cheers mate

it works well after i restarted my phone, without changing anything from wvga to vga so im happy, thanks man not looking forward to adding all my movies though lol
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Demon_man:
Ok so i now have a HD2....:) works great :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the0ne:
great app, thanks for sharing it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
here we go with Version 2.0 of mobilePVD. It now uses a virtual mode of the SliderList, what means, that it can load more movies before running out of memory.

If it runs on your devices as stable as it does on mine, we can start adding new features...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Really nice work mate :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hsmcd:
Really nice work ;)

If you don't mind, i have share it HERE.

Please feel free to drop me a comment if you have anything else to add or in case i have missed anything. Cheers~
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
just released version 2.1

Filtering is back now and actors are grouped by first letter
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alfish2000:
I have installed v2.1 right now.

If I click on one of the "-" e.g. "- Actors" I get an exception:

"RemoveItem in virtual mode not allowed"

I am very interested in the development of mobilePVD since I would love to have my movie list on my phone (TD2).

Is mobilePVD a "one man show" or are you planing to involve more developers?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
I will check this and fix it...

Yes mPVD is a one-man-show. you can ask my friend amirdt (here on XDA) if he wants to join the project...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alfish2000:
Actually I wanted to ask if I could help you with mPVD :-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
what exactly do you want to add?

the only thing I could imagine right now, is another way to read the data.

play around with PVD and the exported data (XML) and how fast you can read it.

currently I am reading with XmlReader.Read and evaluate the nodes. If you can read faster, this would help. other proposals welcome ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alfish2000:
Here is just a spontaneous list:

- WM 6.5.5 Problem with menus. The black background (when menues are displayed) does not cover the whole screen. Above there is some space visible. This is because the top bar (where the clock is) is smaller and the windows task bar is bigger in WM 6.5.5 (Sorry, cant supply a picture now how it looks like)

- Filter Actors: Add a search field also

- Add a clear button to the search fields to clear the field easily

- Add (Readd?) a ">" to the Movie list to open the movie details (I think the ">" was already there in an earlier version.

- Maybe make the UI somehow less sensitive. At least on my device it moves very quickly. E.g. I cant open the details view without moving the movie list view up or down accidentally.

- Add "Reset all Filters" menu item to the Filter Menu.

- Remove the search field in the detailed movie view to get more space to view the details.

- Maybe make the "letter lines" (+A, +B, ..) in the actors view a little bit thicker so that it is easier to open/close them with a larger thumb :-)

- Maybe add the "letter lines" (+A, +B, ..) to the movie list also. Dont know, how large collections will be handled right now.

- Add more filters like rating (stars...)

- Add movie trailer support (e.g. prepare trailers on PC (conversion etc.) and copy them to device. Link from within mPVD to start media player on device)

- ...

So where can I get the source code to get started with it?

Regards

Al
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
ok, ok ;)

I will prepare the sources and make it available for you via SVN, so we can handle developing both.

By now, the list won't move when clicking. I changed that... (but all other things from your list can/need to be done)

so, drop me a PM with your wished user name and password for SVN and give me little time to prepare...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
alfish2000 now officially joined the development of mobilePVD. So let's welcome him ;)

thanks for your support!

http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?topic=1755.40
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
That's great. Welcome alfish2000 and looking forward to a better mobilePVD soon. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
Hi alfish2000, just wondering if you are making any progress on VideoPVD? It's been a while since we had any news from you oe Obelix_A.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alfish2000:
Hi!

Yes, I am working on it.

Obelix_A provided the source code so that I could have a look at it.

Then I had a 2 weeks vacation.

I have started with adding a possibility to cache the movie thumbnails so that they do not have to be generated each time the program starts.

This improved the starting time on my device (26 test movies) from 7 seconds to under 1 second.

Currently I can not contact Obelix_A.

Neither via Email nor via chat.

There are also a lot of questions open how to handle change requests, bug reports and so on.

I still want to improve the program because I want to have a portable movie list.

So I will continue working on it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
Many thanks for the update alfish2000. I just loaded a movie list of about 1600 movies and it took a loooong time to open. I have more than 3,000 movies in my list so it's not possible to use this if it takes that long.

The other navigation assist in the GUI could be a Letter Navigation scroller like Resco Explorer that lets you quickly jump to the first letter in the list. But I guess your priority would be to allow the program to launch fast.

Thanks for working on this. It works great with less than 50 movies ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alfish2000:
Just to make it clear:

Without Obelix_A I currently can't release anything I have compiled by myself because the SliderList does not work correctly in my builds.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kensong:
Understood. No worries, just glad it's not abandonware as it holds lots of promise. Hope you'll manage to reach him. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] XenSA:
thanks for this great piece of software for windows phone been looking for a long time for a decent movie app for wm.

currently converting my 900 movies to the new software
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] spenceizzle:
After 5 years on an HTC Apache, I figured I'd bite the bullet and sign a new contract for a updated Pocket PC, so I switched to AT&T and got the Tilt 2. One of my favorite things about my old Apache was all the emulators! NES, Genesis, SNES, GBA, absolutely love it! But I've tried redownloading the newest versions of all emulators and even using my old .exes and .cabs I used on the Apache. So far, I've had no success.

PocketGBA - Starts up and flashes the menu screen, but not even a second later crashes with a series of "We're Sorry, this program has stopped working" screens.

PocketSNES - Starts up and lets you browse the menus before loading a ROM, all keyboard buttons, with the exception of the direction keys, show up as the same address, and when you attempt to load a ROM, crashes to the same "We're Sorry, this program has stopped working" screen.

Just to let you know, I'm running a stock AT&T ROM, hoping to change that soon (Maybe that's part of the problem). Also, I've yet to try Picodrive for Genesis or Pocket Nester. Just would like to hear feedback from anyone who has had any success with these emulators or any others. I also heard that PSX emulation is possible on this phone, I'm not holding my breath on that, but like I said, just looking to hear if anyone got anything working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nhokynhok:
emulators

Try smartgear, it's has all the old favorite emulators built in, i.e. NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis, etc. It's not freeware, but well worth the small amount of change for everything this app does.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gotwake424:
I agree completely, GREAT emulator got it after another member here recommended it.

There is a trial version so make sure you try it out to see how you like it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] spenceizzle:
Smartgear? After about 3 hours of searching, I never even saw that name pop up! I will definitely check that out.

That coves a good amount of what I want do, but that still leaves GBA and PSX, any word on those two?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BeEazy10:
nope the HD2 got a 1.0ghz snapdragon processor and like 512mb of ram(correct me if im wrong go off the head)... i think that enought said? giving it the able to run the psx. that 1.0ghz processor is nothing... they have 1.5 and higher out.

TP2 512 qc processor... :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Learic:
For PSX, I use FpseCE. So far, I've been able to load Spyro and play it but it is little sluggish. I am not using any enhanced 3D driver on my phone so I don't know if that would improve the performance or not...

For GBA, I have tried PocketGBA but I have a hard time with the controls. I'm not sure what it is capable of. I haven't seen any progress on it so I think it may have been abandoned..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jedah:
For the keyboard, there is a cab out there called KforRaphael, and another called KforTouchPro. I don't remember where I downloaded them, but I'm fairly certain I found them somewhere on xda. KforRaphael seemed to work for me (although w/ still limited button mapping), while KforTouchPro did not. You may have different luck, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] NIKOKAPS:
the PSX resident evil series on FpseCE 0.10 run great with sound. Check out my TP2 in action on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO-rrxJsr8s

Hi,

I am looking for a program that toggles the flightmodus (not on the today screen). The reason for that ist that I am to lazy to start the commanager every time.
[Touch HD General] bolec:
Hello,

i have problem with games displaying on the screen.

When i was using original ROM and radio, all games programmed for HTC HD were working perfectly- fullscreen.

Since i installed new ROM and new radio, any of games working properly. even them HD games. I see them in very small window in the corner of the display.I tried to install many of new ROMs and different radios, but its still same. DOes anybody have same problem?

I tried to find thread about this on this forum but i dint find any. If there is one,iam sorry for starting new.
[Touch HD General] bolec:
Nobody knows the solution?

iam sending the screen how the games look like.. even if they are made in resolution for HD they all show in window like this. Before i unlocked the phone it worked fine. SOrry for low quality of picture.

picture is here: bolekdobos.net/Picture0003.jpg

just add www before link. system dont allow me to post whole link
[Touch HD General] DominicTei:
Since your device is WVGA. I suggest your search for WVGA fix,RealVGA and any others resolution changer.

If you know about programming language,you may use WinceCabManager to edit cab file and change the code inside....

Hope it helped you.

Good old Web-Viewer v1.2.3 (30 March 2009)

Web Viewer for WM5/6

http://www.anbsoftware.co.uk/viewproduct.php?id=11

[C/P from the above webpage]

This program has been developed to give Windows Mobile users the facility to have a very useful and functional tabbed web browser. Other tabbed mobile web browsers are either bulky, slow, or not free. This program is entirely free to use and uses Pocket Internet Explorer to display the web pages.

v1.2 Features

Screenshots;

* Option to save open tabs when closing

* Rotate screen

* Clear cache and cookies buttons

* Clear cache and cookies on exit options

* Increased 'F' (file menu) size for easier access

* Web page receives focus on selecting associated tab

* Added cut, copy, and paste to address bar

* Option to hide tab when only viewing one page

* Option to turn off acquiring title of page (speeds up page loading time)

* Save options on exit: full screen, view tabs, screen rotation, etc

* Multiple language support using an editable language file. Now supports Unicode.

Features

* Tabbed Browser

* Standard Navigation Buttons (Back, Forward, Refresh, Stop)

* Open links in new tab

* Duplicate tab

* View Source (customise external viewer/editor)

* Remember closed tabs

* Remember typed URLs

* Full Screen mode

* Hide Tabs Option (to increase viewing area)

* Various Tab Options (Close, Close Others, Reload All)

Notes

This software is NOT supported on Windows Mobile for SmartPhone.

This program has been developed using Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0.7045.0, which is required to run it. Only this version will work as there are numerous bugs in previous versions, as well as this one, but this is the one that is most stable and enables the functionality to open new tabs.

Favourites are managed by Pocket Internet Explorer.

There is a known issue when navigating, the back/forward buttons do not function correctly (device dependant). For example, when you click on a link for the first time you should be allowed to "go back". However, due to bugs in Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and the device this may not register correctly that you can "go back". However, there is a workaround, which is to go to another tab and then return. This then registers correctly. Alternatively, you can use the context menu to select 'Back'.

:END

I set Web-Viewer to \Windows\Favorites\

and use iexplore.exe to handle new favorites.

Have fun :) with this stable (103.5 Kb) superfast tabbed :D browser,

Senax

What about XScope browser...? The first thing that comes to mind when I use it is "Firefox mobile better be damn good or else."

This browser is one of the fastest out there for Android currently (some say it actually IS the fastest). It has tabbed browsing, ability to mod theme, a new way to zoom (dbl tap and move finger) and much much much more... Oh yeah it actually has FULL screen browsing. It hides the notification bar unless you enable it and hides the address bar unless you need it too.

If no one has used it I'd write a review with a few screenshots to post in here.

Let me know.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:

How about the original 1230mah battery. I can't see 70mah extra making much of a difference and I doubt they will be better in quality than the original.

Just thought i would share my search for a good e-reader for my HD2.

I have not installed doc tabs or ereader from HTC so looking for 3rd party options.

Freda looks ok - but nothing special that stands out. just a good solid app.

Lexcycle - dont do one for WM.

Mobipocket seems interesting and snazzy with desktop integration and is the one i chose -it does sync, and guttenberg also has mobipocket files, and it can import pdf and html and text etc. it seems well featured with most features you would expect and want.

HOWEVER, just be warned that the cab from their website did not work on first install. I had to uninstall it, and then install to my device via the mobipocket desktop software before touch navigation and menus would work.

It seems adequately features and not as nice as stanza, but OK. If you have touchscreen woes though, install through the desktop app.

Other suggestions are of course welcome.
[HD2 General] Bowhuntr11:
I think there is one called AIreader that everyone recommends...might want to look it up.

I haven't tried it personally...I like the HTC ereader, but I need to find the cab for it alone since my new rom doesn't have it on it...
