I apologize if this has been answered, but I'm using PocketPlayer to stream talk radio over a mono bluetooth headset(so I can listen while driving without getting a ticket), which works beautifully.
My problem is that I can't get the URL of the stream in question from opera, I can copy a link that I'm using from opera to PocketPlayer and it plays it but that's an http url which takes a really long time to open and there's no mms link anywhere in Pocket Player. If I click that link it opens a mms url in WMP really fast and if I go into properties inside wmp theres a mms url which it lets you select, but it won't let me copy it so I can open it once in PocketPlayer and save it. Is that url in the registry somewhere?
Aah I got it to open in pocket player by associating a bunch of file types so never mind. It is pretty obnoxious and anti trusty to make that url in the properties dialog read only though.

I haven't been able to get any audio or video streams to work on the kaiser. I have tried both IE and Opera. With my treo 750 windows media player would open and the stream would begin. With the kaiser, I get a message re: save or open stream. Neither selection works. Any thoughts?
Bump please. I can't figure this out.
Pocket Player will stream .pls and other formats as well as wma. I found that the best way to do it is to set up PP as the default device associated with all media types (omfg I wish I could uninstall WMP). Then maneuver to the streaming link on your mobile browser (dito for Opera over PIE) and click on the streaming link and PP should open and pick it up. Works like a dream.
I always use KCRW to test streaming capability - it's the most reliable and stable I have found (not to mention it's also an awesome station...). Click on the "Listen" link and then look for the "Stand Alone Player" links. I prefer mp3 streams.
Hope this helps.
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Can someone explain why opera works perfectly but IE won't connect to ANYTHING...always says page not found??? Also...streaming video will ONLY work through TCPMP...HTC Streaming video won't work and Window's Media Player won't stream ANYTHING but TCPMP can work for certain file types fine. Also...even though I associate some filetypes with TCPMP they still try to open in WMP and then fail. How can you disassociate a file type from WMP or streaming media???
You can disassociate file types in the registry.
I've had similar issues before as well... but just for short periods of time and it would work again...
but after i flashed a new rom i noticed that my exchange could connect to the net, so could IE, but OctroTalk would create errors... I went into my connection settings and change my access point name from isp.cingular to wap.cingular and my username from [email protected] to [email protected] and everything works fine...
dont know if that helps, thought I'd share tho
Does anyone know why TCPMP will not open when accessing mobile Youtube videos? When I try to open a link at m.youtube the stock HTC "Steaming Media" player always opens.
I have:
-a HTC S730
-WM6
-TCPMP Ver. .72RC1
-Installed FLV Plugin 0.4.2
-Associated Files-Flash Video, MMS Protocol, Mpeg, HTTP, AIF, M3U, NSV, OGG, Matroska, Musepack and PLS -and at one point all files
-Done a soft reset
-uninstalled and reinstalled both TCPMP and the plugin
I expect that the TCPMP would open...?? Please correct me if Im wrong.
The reason I want to use the TCPMP player vs the Streaming Media player is that the Streaming Media player has poor A/V quality and Im hoping TCPMP will improve it. Thanks.
You might want to take a look in This thread, might help.
Thanks for the reply. Ive read through the tread, different problem.
Ive downloaded the files and followed the instructions @ ytpocket again. Still opening files with Streaming Media..!!!! Its driving me nuts.
Hmm, if no one has responded by time I wake up i'll take a peak into it I never really use You Tube on my phone and if I do I find the default to be sufficient.
In the mean time double check all the menu options in it to see if you can change the default association, I know you mentioned associated files but the program needs to tell the OS that it will take over instead of the other, this might be accomplished with a simple registry change but again not sure.

Initially when i clicked a you tube video within IE or Opera 9.5 the video used to open in a seprate player that came pre-installed with WM6.1 if i am correct i think it was HTC's own but i may be wrong. Anyway since i installed real player clicking a link in IE dose nothing and in Opera real player opens and throws up some unable to connect error.
Why has what appears to be the default program for playing you tube clips be replaced with real player
Uninstalling real player makes no difference either.
any help really appreciated
Cheers
Andy
I have been looking in the registry and have no idea what I am looking for, and don't want to make it any worse than it already is
guess I am just going to have to flash the rom again and do without realplayer
You could use a program like SkTools to edit file type associations. I think Dinarsoft's MemMaid also allows you to customize file type associations.
Also why don't you install the Youtube Player app? Makes watching youtube videos much easier then browsing for them in Pocket IE or another browser and having them load up in a video streaming app. Its all done within the app so you dont have to worry about realplayer or another app hijacking your file associations.
Ahhh thanks very much, i was not aware such a program existed
appreciate the reply mate
