[Danthekilla]

Will a version ever come out for windows mobile and its brothers?
there is alot of desire for a fast effecent media player on pocket pc's and windows phones

[VLC_help]

There should be a CE build coming. (AFAIK it doesn't have official release date yet)

[Danthekilla]

Thanks very much for the quick reponse its good to know.

[mikeloeven]

[VLC_help]

j-b said it should come when 1.0.0 comes: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=55357

Hopefully that hasn't changed too much

[EGOvoruhk]

Any news on this j-b?

[Danthekilla]

Yer it would be good to know when even a beta may be available and possible features...

[mikeloeven]

Well, there is still some work to make it work for normal human beings.

[mikeloeven]

what will work on my samsung with the windows mobile 6.1
with the CE OS 5.2.2070 (build 20270.1.3.1) system?

I tried with VLC 1.0.0 and I only get a notice on the phone saying that it's not supported...

( yes, i don't know what info you need to answer so i gave all the info i had)

Is all that's left the GUI? Last I heard, there was basically no user interface

[EGOvoruhk]

Any progress made, or has it been put to the wayside?

[Danthekilla]

Yer it would be good to get a status update... 1.0 has been out for quite a while now.

I really want a good media player on my phone.

[VLC_help]

Some bugs are fixed but AFAIK there still isn't working GUI.

Untill VLC isn't 100% WindowsMobile proof(no gui yet) use this: http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
TCPMP is a mediaplayer that discontinu because it's commercial now, but the url i gave is a mirror with all the files+plugins of the latest open version 0.72RC1.
I have it on my HTC-Touch (WM6.0), and it really plays a lot when all plugins are installed too(especially compared with Windowsmediaplayer mobile).
If you got windows mobile then you can download of the given link "Windows mobile Cab"(be shure you choose the right platform, Pocketpc or smartphone or other, most new devices of today are pocketpc compatible) and download all the plugins"Additional plugins for all platforms"
here you can get the AAC(Advanced Audio Coding) plugin for TCPMP: http://rapidshare.com/files/31368947/tc ... 6.zip.html . Their is also a flash plugin for tcpmp http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-dow ... -v0-4.html
Sync windowsmobile device to computer and drag all the *.cab files to storage card of mobiledevice. After that click on the *.cab files once at a time(begin with tcpmp afterthat the plugins) , when storage/install location is asked prevent ram and prefer storage card.


Advice for windows mobile devices; Install applications on the storage card, not in the ram(working memory).

You need to find a build that was compiled for 6.1. Check out XDA, I've seen it there

Some bugs are fixed but AFAIK there still isn't working GUI.

Is someone actively working on a GUI, or is this something that someone needs to step in and do?

I have no clue. Maybe some in IRC channel could answer that.

[EGOvoruhk]

Anyone have any updates? IRC was a bust the few times I went in there. I never actually found whoever was supposed to be in charge of the GUI, their name slips my mind

Anyway, I thought maybe...hopefully, some news has traveled around?

[VLC_help]

I haven't seen anything GUI related on mailing list. (debug symbol removal is last WinCE entry I have seen)

[EGOvoruhk]

Well I noticed CE nightlies started appearing, but it looks like it's currently only for CE, and not Windows Mobile. I tried to run it on my phone, and got a "'VLC' is not a valid Pocket PC application" error

Is support for Windows Mobile planned/coming?
