[APP] myPlayer - iplayer omnia supported

[Guest dexstar]

Hi all,

Just find this app over on XDA called myPlayer and got it working well on my omnia so i thought it was worth a heads up.

By FryWalker

Here is the topic

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131

Features:

> Stream selection - manually switch between Wifi or 3G quality depending on how much bandwidth you have available

> Choose your own media player - define how each stream is played (CorePlayer is recommended)

> Keyboard navigation - touch screen is NOT a requirement (although can still be used if preferred)

> Full iPlayer integration - browse the Mobile content as you would from any other supported device

check it out

[Guest FryWalker]

.. and it will soon feature a link to 8 live BBC channels :excl:

Thanks for the recommendation dexstar!

have an error message, (pic removed as fixed problem)

any help? Happens on launch. (possibly due to me installing on storage card)

Also, it errors when i point it to coreplayer (Mystorage > program files > coreplayer > player.exe)

How is your device connecting to the Internet? Is it still cradled with Windows? May be worth disconnecting the cable so that it is not cradled as I've seen the app have problems with this a couple of times. Just try to make sure you have a working Internet connection before launching the app.

Also, it errors when i point it to coreplayer (Mystorage > program files > coreplayer > player.exe)

Did you install myPlayer to your device (as opposed to the Mystorage location)?

I believe it has something to do with CorePlayer being installed at that location. I will look in to how it deals with media players accessed via storage media.

using wifi and i THINK i installed to storage,

reinstalled and got no errors now :excl:

however its not linking to the storage media player. Can combat that by installing coreplayer on the device though I spose :excl:

Works amazingly with everything on device, thankyou! :excl: Been after something like this for a while now. Eager for updates!

Its a great app! What i did was to install it on the phone rather than the storage card, and had to use coreplayer as TCPMP says RTFL (if that is right) is not supported, but with coreplayer it works perfectly. I am also eagly awiating updates! :excl:

Fantastic application!

Finally iPlayer has been brought to the Omnia. Shame residents outside UK may struggle to get this working.

A lot of ROMS don't have asplayer though (I don't think any of the WM6.5 ones do) and for some reason installing it from CAB doesn't work very well

[Guest 3shirts]

I just installed this on Omnia to try it out but everytime I open it I get a box full of code. The error says "System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

It is currently installed to 'My Storage' but I tried on Device and the same thing happened. I am trying it over WiFi and am in the UK (iPlayer on PC through same connection is fine) and have also tried with my data connection to the same result.

Looks like the Beeb have changed the way their mobile content is delivered. This will effect all versions :/ I'm working on a fix right now and will release an update ASAP. Apologies for the inconvenience.

*** Updated to version 0.70b ***

Change list:

- myPlayer is now compatible with the latest BBC iPlayer content structure

- Custom live TV channels can be added (in the same way as the Radio stations)

For some reason the BBC have decided to mix and match TV and radio content - so for the time being I am just displaying the TV episodes - which is why some of the menus will have fewer choices.

Also the way they deliver programme information is slightly more complex so a few menus may take a bit longer to load. I am working on improving the loading times, but thought it would be best to release a working version.

Is there a way to get this working with TCPMP? Not the full core player?

I think the problem is primarily which codecs you have on your phone, but I'm not sure whether or not TCPMP can be configured to use the correct codecs anyway.

I have not had any feedback that suggests TCPMP will play any of the BBC iPlayer content over RTSP as yet and I would recommend upgrading to CorePlayer 1.30 if possible.
