Anyone know if a macromedia flashplayer is out for wm6 yet? i see it for wm5 but doesn't help me.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/pocketpc/2002.html
Works perfectly on my 6800 WM6
u are just kidding right? cause it doestn work
There's supposed to be a new Flash Player Lite 3.0 for Pocket PCs which will let one view videos the standard YouTube website (not the m.youtube.com) and other flash sites which we cannot view yet. The developer's kit is out but there's not .cab file yet. I hope Adobe offers the player in cab for this soon.
i have an idea...
try the TCPMP plugin with the Flash video Bundle. all you have to do in order to get them to work properly is to install the plugin to the device, soft reset as soon as it's done installing, then do the exact same thing for the flash bundle via the device, and soft reset. go on youtube, look for any videos that interest ya, and watch how flawlessly they stream. y'all could also save content from the site as well.
oh, and by the way... who needs Flashlite when the Plugin and the Bundle are worth the hunt...

Hi all,
This is probably a British only question! I have been trying to watch ITV on line (British TV on line) on my Athena using AP 4.0 ROM. It uses an embedded video player and works great on the laptop as you would expect, however when trying on the Athena it tells me I don't have flash player installed. Now on my PDA I do have the mobile version running, but it fails to use this. Ive been having a play with it but I'm beginning to think its a lost cause. to save further strife does anyone know if I'm wasting my time on this one? I got you tube running a treat, but I'm to tight to subscribe to a pay for TV viewer
All the best

The flash we have in WM6 is version 7. They probably use version 8 or higher, so no joy.

I was thinking along the same lines that our flash player is not advanced enough to play this kind of video. I will have to get a shift. maybe the new Opera will work when its finished on a final.

New version!! See this post! (post 33)
So I'm planning on making a full video viewer/downloader for multiple sites and I decided to start with a porn site, tube8. I'm still learning a lot of .NET, and it's even harder when you're stuck with using compact framework 3.5. So go easy on me....
In any case, I've got a barebones app that will list all the videos on the front page of Tube8 along with a thumbnail when you hit "GO" at the bottom. (if you hit it twice, it might crash)
If you DOUBLE-tap the clip you want to download, the go button at the bottom will change to FLV. Hit that and the screen will freeze while it downloads the file to the ROOT of your STORAGE CARD. A popup will tell you it's done when it's done.
Sorry, this is bare-bones. I just want to confirm this works on all networks. I've only tried it over WiFi. I'll implement more menus, a streaming option, etc as time permits.
Also, I know that you can play FLV videos... my current device is giving me trouble with the version of TCPMP i have so if anyone can tell me if the FLV videos do play, that would be great. I know they play when copied to a desktop.
There's no CAB yet (still learning), but you can extract the zip and just run the exe file anywhere on your device.
FYI, the final program will be called 2Kinetic - Mobile Video Viewer.
(fun with physics)

Hi,
I've had no luck trying to get a live stream onto HD2. When on the BBC website: Opera doesn't support Flash and IE just times out without getting a picture.
What's the best way to view F1 please? BBC show live streaming via the 'red button', can we get a feed from that perhaps onto phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Pete
You can do it by opening opera on your phone, typing 'opera:config' without the quatation marks into where you put the address. this gives you what looks like a webpage, and if you scroll down it says 'User Prefs'. CLick on this then scroll down to 'custom User agent', which has a box underneath where you have to enter 'HTC_Touch_HD_T8282' (again without quotes). As far as i understand this tells Iplayer youi're using a different version of Opera, the one from the Touch HD, as the HD2 version isn't recognised.
This comes from a great thread with loads of tips on it which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Check it out, for most of it you'll need to know how to change registry values. You cn find that information on this forum or google easily enough, i knew nothing before.
alternatively put android on your SD card and use that, you get a higher quality stream on that and it streams the video directly i the browser.
As far as i know both methods work only on WIFI, and i can't take credit for any of this, all other people's work!
Hi will,
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I already had this reg tweek setup as you need it to watch BBC iPlayer (which works fine).
The trouble is, that with the BBC feed, they do it via 'flash player in a web page' (and not directly through the iPlayer). Even though I have tweeked the reg, the BBC website page for F1 (on HD2 via Opera) still shows the error message, "The media player requires Adobe Flash 9 or higher."
I'm not too keen on putting Android on SD card but I guess if there is no other way of watching it via WinMo then that's that.
Thanks again for your reply.
ATB,
Pete

How about using manila TV (TV Tab) as in Omega ROM?
Hi,
recently I wanted to stream content from my PC and my archos asked for the cinema plug-in.
Actualy several question came into my mind as I thought about bying it:
1.) What exactly is it? Just some codecs - so the archos default videoplayer can play MPEG2,..?
2.) As I don't use the stock ROM - will it work on custom rom's too (UrukDroid)? Dont't think Crayogen will work as it doesn't has the archos player app - am I right?
3.) Wouldnt it be more easy to use another videoplayer instead (-> different ROM usage possible, cheaper then 15€ propably,...) ? Can u give me an advice wich app is worth it if so?
4.) What about hardware decoding then?
5.) What about UPNP capability of other players? Already had UPnPlay - but seems to be qute slow atm.
6.) Oh and one last question abut the Plug-in: I read its enabled in several stock Rom verion atm - did they disable in latest 81 again or is it still enabled?
Well - hope i find some help.
greetings

1) Actually we all have the codecs, the plugin just watermarks the device so the codecs are "free" so we can use it.
2) I dont know if its gona work on Urukdroid, i think no because urukdroid have its own partition..
3) The other video players arent so good as the archos video player because the most of them doht have 4)&5)
6) The cinema plugin is disabled on firmware 2.3.26
Tip:
I have the openAOS boot menu with Urukdroid as normal os and the archos android 2.3.26 for watching movies from my hdd
(You can find instructions in my thread at general section)
I know that since the 4th to last firmware it is free for everyone, don't know if it's been blocked again in the last version but it still works in urukdroid, that I can say for shure

The cinema plugin was "disabled" on firmware 2.3.20 and 2.3.26
In the newest 2.3.81 you need the plugin.. so on 2.3.20 and 2.3.26 it was a failure from archos
I bought the plug-in.
I tried first to install the plug-in on urukdroid but got an error.
Also after 3 times. Then I switch to Android directly the plug-in installed successfully. Back to urukdroid and tried once, but still the error. Then I checked the plug-in status in the settings and saw that the cinema plug-in was installed. Tried to play a video with ac3 audio and was working.
I ordered the plug-in on pluginsky.us for 15$.
I received the key after one business day.

Hey guys - thanks for all your help...
So I think i stay with the version of Lenn for now and perhaps buy it one day if we get a propper upgrade to at least Gingerbread.
Lenn can u provide a link to their servers containing FW .36? can find it anymore and I sadly overwrote my file on my HD with the .81 FW

EDIT:
Damn - another problem showed up - dunno if it happens for any of u - but the default video player f***s up my sound somehow.
The whole sound sounds strange and blurry unless ich change balance completely to one side - then it sounding "hearable" but still not right (btw the balance deosn't chance the balance actualy for me)
What i tested for now is:
Uruk 1.0 with default Video player: sound crappy
Uruk 1.0 with RockPlayer: sound crappy
FW .81 with default Video player: sound crappy
FW .81 with RockPlayer: sound fine
Well as this is not topic regarded anymore we better close this thread and i open a new one:

Well personally I think its lame that Archos does that ****.i
With that Cinema Plug-In...
I just convert my video's with Hamster Free Video Converter it has a special feature for the Archos 10i but it works fine with Archos 70it.
Just Google it But here is the link to the site I have scanned the files : OK .
Well here is the link : http://videoconverter.hamstersoft.com/en/
If you have the money buy it if you want to save up and buy a case use the Converter...
(Hit thanks if helped )
I bought the Cinema plugin because some 40% of my movies were AC3-encoded. Didn't feel like paying $15 for it, but in the end I bought it from archos.com.
Then I installed UrukDroid 1.5 and saw that the plugin was recognized. It would have been pretty sucky for it not to work in UrukDroid.
so here is my sick question
if it works: buying and then use UrukDroid; shouldn't it be also work then to inst v2.3.20 or 2.3.26 of stock FW and run any UrukDroid?
EDIT:
will try just download the FW:
http://update.archos.com/8/gen8/gen8_2.3.26/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
2nd EDIT:
k - seems i have to downgrade for - let see if this:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...8-device-28-32-43-70-101-2-0-71-2-0-54-a.html
works.
3rd EDIT:
downgrade work - plugin of .3.26 sadly not - even its telling registered (perhaps this is also the freeplugins)
I just want to point out that every player has UPNP and SMB capability on the Archos, even if it's not obvious. Just navigate in the filesystem to /sdcard/network, which is where the mountpoints are.

well y i find the network folder "/mnt/storage/network" or "/storage/network" wich should be the same symlinked propably
Thanks for this - nice to know.
Anyway it brings me back to another / old problem - as all what is in those folders are "not_allowed" folders due to unsufficiend rights and the missing capability of my archos to connect to win7 shares
