How to Stream to Windows Media Player 10 for Pocket PC

[StevieG]

Here is the VLM command that works for me:

new a broadcast
setup a enabled
setup a input somefile.mpg
setup a output #transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=256,scale=0\.5,acodec=wma,ab=64}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=asf,url=:8888}
control a play

I copy and paste this in to my vlm telnet interface.

One note though, on this version of windows mobile when you choose "open url" you must type the url with two trailing slashes:

http://<vlc-server-ip>:8888//

If you don't put the two trailing slashes windows media player 10.2 for pocket pc will give you the following error message: "The parameter is incorrect."
