Better than HTC Album?

Hi,
Anyone know application like HTC Album but better?
An application that can view IMAGES and VIDEOS .. but it is finger friendly, easy to operate (zoom, delete, go back).
HTC Album is ok, but it could not view videos ... and sometimes very hard to zoom (does it really work???).
Thanks.

PocketCM image viewer IMO is the best still image viewer, unfortunately will not preview videos

I used to use HTC album, tried PocketCM picture viewer and liked it, but found it too hard to navigate. It would zoom in when I didn't want it to, change pictures accidently. Now I use A_C's S2V, really like it, quick and easy to zoom in and out with the D-pad.

Hi,
use resco photo explorer

I agree, in my opinion, S2V is the best software to view still images.
I'm not sure if there are any softwares out there made to view still images and videos. I think it's one or the other.

I use right now HTC Album 2 with SJ's Full Player plugin so I can play video directly within. Not the greatest but it will do for now.

I think the best solution is using resco photo explorer

Eyephoto's pretty good too, no video though...

Kinoma Play
I've heard good things about Kinoma Play, http://kinoma.com/play/
Being commercialware, I have yet to try it.

how can i change the sort order in HTC Album?
first image in preview is the last in explorer and so on
i would like to have it sorted upwards

You probably have an old build of HTC Album. The stock build on my HTC Touch Cruise zoomz very easily (via touch screen and jog dial). I once tried an XDA build, but found that gestures would often cause rotation when I wanted to zoom, and zoom when I wanted to rotate.
As for videos, HTC album does preview them, but when you click on it, it opens them in Windows Media Player. Is this the behavior that you experience?
You could try the new HTC album floating around from the Opal/Manilla 2D.

Audible Player Skins [WVGA & VGA]

VGA is just a scaled version of the QVGA.
WVGA is an iPod-like Look & Feel. My apologies
To install, unpack in your "Program Files/Audible/Skins" path.
Enjoy!

Excellent! Now my Xperia looks as it should with Audible.

Nice skin, but do you guys use the Audible player?
I like what you have done, and I know this is a little OT, but I could never get that prog to work. I tried it multiple times on a Wizard, and then on my Tilt. I would always have trouble accessing the library, or it would tell me that I had no connection, when I could surf or email fine. When their support people wanted me to wipe (as in hard reset) my phone to troubleshoot, I gave up on the mobile app. I was so happy when I found Kinoma that I bought it just for the Audible support. I usually put books on my Zune, but I stream the morning paper every day to my Tilt.

Does anyone have a skin for Audible Player that will show correctly on the Treo Pro?
Thanks in Advance!

Green Skin for WVGA (480x800)
Put everything from the zip file into /Program Files/Audible/Skins. Screen shot attached. Enjoy.

Thanks Theory! Nice, clean skin.

Long timo ago till this threat was opened, but:
I use a HTC HD2 with WVGA resolution.
I copied your files to the destined folder. I am able to choose f.e. the ipod skin. But this is huge: I only can see the upper left quarter of the skin!!!
Has anyone an idea why this happens?
The original green skin is ugly and seems also not the right resolution.
Thanks for your answer!
Ps: I installed audible player at the storage card. May this be the problem?

I have the same problem like Prisonierung.
I'm using a HD2 and the AudiblePlayer is installed to the storagecard.
Is there a solution?

You need to install the format 3 version first, then audible manager asks you to update. After this you can play all formats.

Hey gus,
i got a problem with the resolution, no matter which skin i choose... they all look pretty similiar, i just can see the upper right corner.
I'll attach a picture to show you what i mean.

[APP] New Windows Mobile Youtube CAB included

Just saw on the WMPoweruser.com.
Youtube has created a native Windows Mobile application for displaying their videos on your phone, and its pretty good.
The user interface is attractive and uses fluid animations, and video quality is also very good, and apparently adaptive to the speed of your own connection
To download the app, visit http://m.youtube.com from your device. More cool features and app improvements are on the way, and the app will alert you as updates become available and allow you to upgrade with a single click.
Read more at Youtube here.
edit cab

Sweet, thanks for the heads up! Just installed and its pretty nice. I'm not sure if I like the button layout better than the original raphael youtube app but the transitions are pretty cool.

Pretty sweet. Works quickly and the streams are buffered properly.

call me retarded, but i dont see the link for the download

retard... lol jks
***now i feel like a retard as well... i cant find the link on the site :\
wamp wamp!

Is it better that the native application installed in Touch Diamond/Pro ?
If i install this version, older will delete properly ?

I don't think it's better, I found it to be pretty crappy quality. And I have full 3G where I am.

I get a 403 error when I go to m.youtube.com
I think the youtube mobile site doesnt like PIE 6
Can anyone get a cab up for download?

I found a way around this.
If you are using a ROM with PIE 6 on it, you will need to use Opera to download the app, as YouTube Mobile doesn't recognize PIE 6.
Pop open Opera, and go to opera:config, scroll down to User Prefs and click on it, scroll down to Custom User-Agent and change it to "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11)", scroll down to save and have it.
After that close out of Opera completely and open it back up. Browse to m.youtube.com and you should see the download link right below the search bar.
The default Raphael Opera User Agent should be "HTC-P4600/1.2 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)"

weird ... i don't have user prefs in my opera:config

PIE6 worked fine for me as long as I had it set for mobile viewing.

Jeez you guys are difficult.

It works great. Other then that, the quality is pretty much poo.

and no option for higher quality...
but yes ****s fast and interesting slider thing.

Awesome, TC! Thank you!
Truthfully, I like HTC Youtube far better. Google Youtube streams faster (I suspect this is because I have High Quality set on HTC Youtube), but the video lags, and the interface is not as good as HTC's. Google Youtube seems to be more slick, and it does have an internal volume control (something HTC Youtube needs). Still, I just like HTC Youtube a lot more.
Nonetheless, I'm happy that Google is providing support for Windows Mobile now. Hopefully, we'll eventually get a program from Hulu. Once that happens, life is complete.

this is good...an alternative for nonHTC users

stupid thing replaced my htc youtube. guess u cant have both

I thought so too, but it only overwrites the shortcut. After uninstalling Google YouTube, just follow these few steps to have the original HTC YouTube. Navigate to \Windows\YouTube.exe in file explorer, then click and hold to copy it, and then navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and click and hold to "paste shortcut". That's all there is to it...
And yes, HTC YouTube program seriously trumps the Google YouTube app here. Nice find though!

i really like the HTC youtube App Much better, Except for the Speed Difference. The WinMo App is about 10times faster. But the interface isnt as pretty!

Photo Viewer

Poll: Which Photo viewer do you use and like ?
Please post.

EyePhoto, HTC album, but i like first one better.

I was looking for a good one. I think I found what I like, fast, free and good S2V as recomended in Kaiser wiki.

Just came across Resco Photo Viewer Pro v6.33 a week or so ago and it's incredibly fast and efficient; just another great Resco product.
Moved to Kaiser Software.

Resco Photo Viewer & XnView Pocket
Resco Photo Viewer is very good for viewing.
XnView more for pocket editing.

I have used many and xnView pocket (and pc) is still the best and its free.

ImageViewer, 'cause I like to move by fingers on the pictures, zooming on them, rotate, etc. using the whole screen.
The problem is I have lots of folders in my SD card and my Herald is slow, so when launching it takes almost one minute to show the folders' list.
On the other hand, I only watch or show pictures twice a month.

I use to have HTC Album but it was too buggy so now I'm just using the default viewer.
I am starting to look at the SplashPhoto. It worked great on my Palm Treo 680 so maybe Ill give it a shot.

One more vote for xnView.
Like it and use it regularly.

[Q] Media experience panel problems

I liked the idea of media panel since I knew about it. But now when i have it on my device and I took a closer look at it I noticed some disappointing things about it. It seams that's it's good in general but every part has some defect:
1)Pictures part(most disappointing)-it seams to zoom not the actual images but the thumbnails of them.What's that for!?Can't it load images from sd card?
2)Music part-has no equalizer(I can live with that) and can't show all songs of one artist.
3)Video part-it's almost OK but it is just a bit more laggy then WMP.
The point is-are those real problems or am I a noob and just don't know the solution?

Do you mean the the MPX Panel MR1 (without radio) or MR2 (with Radio)?
If it's MR2, absolutely yes, it occures to me.
If it's MR1 (Original ROM), I don't think so.

I had the second version of the panel, the one with the radio. I have just uninstalled it and installed MR1 version. Well...there are no differences between them, at least i haven't noticed any.The video plays a little smoother, that's all.
So there isn't any way to fix picture viewer in the panel?

I use the Media Xperiance Panel only to play high quality movies. For this purpose it is definitely much better than WMP. For everything else I use a dedicated program. It's Pocket Player for sound and XNView for pictures. The reason is the inflexibility of the Media Xperiance Panel. Like you mentioned it offers no equalizer and the picture part is crap. But to watch high quality mp4s it's great.

I just hoped that this Media panel was so useful as I thought it would be when I first heard about it. Oh well!.. I'm using other programs for multimedia too - Coreplayer for music and Resco Picture Manager for pictures, but if there weren't those defects it has, it would be a great useful program! Thanks a lot for your answers.

Actually I found a way to deal with the music player part! I've installed the HTC Audio Booster - it didn't work for me last time because i didn't rename the .mui file to my region code but now it works perfect! So now I have Media panel with equalizer!

Asked a question about picture viewer to Sony Ericsson support. They said to update my phone's software. Like it would change something even if I could(already have R3AA007)!

It's a sad thing. Almost every time you contact a support hotline (SE is no exception) you realise that you already know far more than the person on the other end of the line will ever

Yep, totally. But I suppose that's because people who you call/write to are not engineers - their job is to tell you that "you should update your phone's software and everything will be awesome!". But anyway i started using the not-zooming panel picture viewer to quickly look at my recently added pictures, it's quite useful to have all pictures in one place and not browsing through 100 directories.

I agree, the panel is definitely a good thing. It is not perfect and SE wasted some of the panels potential but it's useful nonetheless. Like I wrote before I still consider it the best solution to watch high quality movies. Far better than WMP.
