Has vtap hijacked my file associations? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I can no longer play streaming music via a link... if I go to shoutcast, and click the listen button on a station, vtap opens up, but nothing happens. I'm assuming that vtap must have assocaited itself with with common media extensions, but I can't find out how to fix them back. I know how to do it in desktop windows, but not PPC.
Any suggestions?

Internet Radio Streaming on Tilt?

Since my car stereo is not working right now, and my favorite radio station streams over the internet, I was wondering if there is a way to listen to it using my Tilt.
I tried browsing to the website using my phone, and once I click the "Listen Live" link, I get a connection error. Any insight appreciated.
Radio Station: 93.3 WMMR
http://www.wmmr.com
Listen Live link:
http://gmppodcast.com/stream/WMMR
download gsplayer or tcpmp player. I listen to shoutcast on both of these.
I'm trying to listen to WHTZ-NY Z100...
http://www.z100.com/cc-common/streaming_onesite/index.html?refreshed=yes
They used to have an embedded link, but I think it's been changed to some dynamic link or password. Can anyone figure this out? It's a WMA stream, too.

I already had TCPMP installed, and I just tried gsplayer. Neither works unfortunately.
Can someone that has either of these programs working on this Kaiser try to connect to the stream I listed above?
Try going to the settings in TCPMP and checking the unchecked boxes in the file associations tab that pertain to what type of media you are trying to access or stream in your case...
Have you tried www.thestreamcenter.com/pda ?
Click on PA, then scroll to 93.3 WMMR
It worked for me using WMP.
I am able to stream a NJ station, WFMU through TCPMP, but I haven't had any luck with either of the other two stations mentioned in this thread. If you want to test out your player's streaming capability try http://mp3stream.wfmu.org
It appears that the links for both of the other stations mentioned in this thread load a player that in turn accesses the stream. If you can get the actual stream's URL I'm thinking it will load fine. Those URL's wont stream in WMP 11 on my PC either.
One thing I did notice about TCPMP is that it didn't initiate the internet link, I had to connect using IE and then start the stream. I was accessing via EDGE, don't know if you would need that step with WiFi or not.
Your sig says att. Did you uncheck the proxy in the connection setting manager and try it?
Winamp Remote works really well on my Tilt. It's not radio, but you can stream your music (and videos, though I haven't tried any yet) from your home computer right into Windows Media Player.
did you download the .dlls that tcpmp needs for this type of stuff and copy them to your windows directory?

To those that still have this problem, try installing flash Player 7 to your device (fp7_ppc_en) you can google it. Don't install it to your storage card. I tried and it am getting some sound and not the message to download flash player. I had already had flash player downloaded to the storage card.
Hope this helps.

I was able to find the stream on this site. After I click the link, WMP opens and starts to buffer, but then comes up with Failed.
Do I need to modify proxy settings in order for the stream to work from this site? And if so, will that affect any other web browsing? I do not use MEdia Net, so I'm not worried if it affects that.

voice Command-> Podcasts?

Note: I have never messed with podcasts up to this point, so I will easily look like I don't know anything on this
There is a lot of stuff to find here related to what RSS reader to use, etc, and I can explore that...but...
I have MS Voice command, and hope to be able to call up podcasts with it. What I'm not sure if is if MS Voice Command requires MS Media Player to operate for playing music. I assumed so, so I thought I woudl download podcast mp3 files, and create a playlist called Podcasts.
But, I find for some reason that when I try to import the downloaded MP3 into the library that it will not come in.
So, I"m left wondering, what is best method to do podcasts on the Tilt, and be able to call them up with MS Voice Command?
Any thoughts based on that? (In meantime, I"ll be reading the multitude of threads on RSS Readers, etc.)
Thanks!
I am gathering from the lack of response that it must not be possible to use MS voice command to play any downloaded MP3s (podcasts).
Yes you can. However, you will need to sync it through desktop WMP. Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though. You must give it a title & Artist name, Genre, Album Name, etc... In MSVC you can only launch media by these types of commands, i.e. Play news, play podcast play "artist name". Read the MSVC help file regarding media selections.
Also depending what you mark the MP3 format as being hanled by (File Asosciation) you can have it play in most popular media players. I prefer TCPMP.
Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though

That must be my problem. I'll see if I can figure that out. Thanks for the input. Sounds kinda painful though, as I'd have to manually input properties on every one I download to get it to load in WMP.
I've been thinking of looking into the TCPMP. Will MS Voice command work with that application?
[EDIT]
Hmmm...actually, my problme is that WMP won't even pull the file in for me to then add the necessary information to synch it. I'll have to figure that one out.

Music program w. streaming ability from NAS.

I have a Synology 207+ and need a music program on my TyTN II, that are able to access the share folder on my Synology and play the music. I have S2P which is great so I'm looking for a program like that.
As it is a NAS, I don't think it has streaming capabilities. You might want to use one of the following programs/plugins:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
HTC Network plugin (attached)
...
Use these programs to map the network drive which contains your music. This way you can browse to your music and play it using WMP (I think).
Good luck...
I already map my Synology drive with PPC total commander, so is these plugin then nessesary? I have my videofiles working with TCPMP already, it's just the music files that are missing.
if it only show video and not audio in the same dir mounted then it sounds like the audio is not in a format that TCPMP or whatever audio program can use
p.s. streaming is not the same thing as having access to files over a network
streaming is not realated with files on the clients end at all
Okay, let me elaborate. You're right I don't want to stream. I want access to the music folder on my synology and play it from there. I have it working with videofiles in TCPMP. They are two separate folders.
i'd asume you do it the same way
as a test you could try placing a single music file in the video dir and check if it shows up
Since you were able to find the video files, it should be no problem finding the audio files.
TCPMP doesn't show files with extensions it doesn't support. That seems to be your problem. Although it would have to be a really rare extension, giving the wide support of formats by TCPMP.
Can you see your music files when you browse to the folder using file explorer on your Kaiser?
PS: Just wondering: how have you managed to map a network drive using Total Commander? I didn't know the option existed (as far as I know, the option does not exist)

HTC Audio Manager cannot play associated MP3

Hallo, I have problem with file association for HTC Audio Manager.
When I set .mp3 [audiomanager.exe "%1"] in Advanced Configuration Tool (File associations section ) and launch .mp3 file example from File Explorer, Audio manager run, but without playing. On screen is old mp3 file from previos playing...
When I set .mp3 back to [WMPlayer.exe "%1"] and launch some .mp3 file, Windows media player run and play .mp3 file which I select. It is correct.
I need to run .MP3 file and launch and play it with Audiomanager, not WMP.
Help me, please.
you don't need to associate mp3s unless you want to associate a certain program to play it while browsing in a file explorer.by default audiomanager will detect the mp3 in the library and should play it back with no issues
Thanks for replay. Unfortunately, I need to associate MP3 with Audio Manager.
I use pRSSread for downloading and managing podcasts. When I run podcast from this program (it is same like run from File Manager), only WinMedia play podcast correct. Audio Manager open itself, but do not play selected file, see my previous post. :-(
I want to play MP3 from pRSSread on Audio manager. This program is more comfortable, powerful volume, nice bar on HTC Home, display MP3 tags, ...
Is there anybody, who can run MP3 in file manager and Audio Manager open and play?
It is strange, that I am alone with wants of this function...
Thank you!
Nope you're not alone. I just stumbled upon this thread searching for the exact same answer for the exact same reason... this problem is so freaking annoying. I'd rather have it launch into HTC's Audio Manager because I love the UI compared to all others players I've used. Plus I can turn off the display, and it keeps playing, if I could figure out how to make Windows Media Player do this instead of stop playing the podcast than I might settle for that as a work around.
Another annoying thing you may have noticed is it doesn't support PLS files either.

I fully agree with you... after hard resetting my P3300 Audio Manager is not able to find any titles to play! I spent a long time playing with playlist editors and trying to copy music files to almost every location but it still does not seem to work. I read it does not play files which does not have id3 tags and also it plays files only from device - not the storage card. Further analysis could get me the real cause of the problem but I am already exhausted. Any help guys? Do drop me a note please

Gmote 2.0 - Random Music Playlist and Scrobble to Last.fm [Guide]

Figured I'd post this here, these were my two main issues with Gmote not being able to do.
First of all get Gmote 2.0 off the market or from the website, grab the server client while you're there and follow the directions to install it.
http://www.gmote.org/
http://www.cyrket.com/package/org.gmote.client.android
Then get the latest version of VLC and install it (0.9.8a as of this posting).
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Okay now navigate to your VLC install directory and copy all the contents (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC).
Now, navigate to your Gmote install directory (C:\Program Files\GmoteServer).
From there go to \bin\VLC\ and delete all the contents and paste the latest version of VLC in there.
Now open VLC.exe and go to the Tools menu > Preferences.
Under the simple interface go to Audio and select "Enable last.fm submission", then enter your last.fm log in information. Don't close it.
Now for the shuffle songs, Gmote has a menu option for it but it wasn't working for me, but I did it for good measure. There is a way to force it in VLC.
Right click Gmote Server in the system tray > Settings > Shuffle Songs
Back in VLC in Preferences, under "Show settings" select "All" and go to Playlist menu. From there select "Play files randomly forever".
Go to the bottom and hit Save then close VLC.
Now make sure that the playlist will be set to shuffle by default. Open VLC and go to the Playlist menu > Show Playlist. At the bottom next to the plus the lines should be crossed, if not click it, close out VLC and see. Go through the steps again if its not on shuffle now.
A couple notes in case anyone runs into any issues, I never had Gmote and VLC open at the same time since I believe that Gmote opens up VLC when it is started, not sure. I also selected "Allow only one instance" under Interface settings.
Oh and the first time it played a song the next song started and stopped abruptly, so I just reopened my .m3u playlist and it worked and has worked ever since (the song still scrobbled though).
Also, it won't show what you are currently playing on last.fm, it will only show what you just played.
Nice tutorial!!!!! Only VLC? Can't you do something similar with WMP? All I want is to stream some stuff that "StreamFurious" won't play, shouldn't have to install additional media player just to do that? I could be wrong though....
If you want to listen to music streamfurious won't play, you can set up your own shoutcast station here:
http://www.shoutcast.com/download
Then add the address of your station to streamfurious so you can listen to your own personal collection.
Also, there is an option on Gmote to stream music from your PC to your phone, which should be easier to do. If you happen to have a dynamic IP address (and don't want to always have to remember it), you can setup a dyndns website address @ www.dyndns.org, and enter it as the server you want gmote to connect to.
