| This is the information which I found after carrying heavy search in
google groups and websites..
I'm developing one application for video streaming ie one MPEG file
which is on webserver I've to run it on emulator of Windows CE5.0. The
following tools I'm using ...
1) EVC++4.0
2) Platform Builder 5.0 (for design OS)
3) Windows CE standard sdk 5.0
During search I found one more sdk...from mpegTV website ie
(mtvp-sdk-wince3.0-1.2.2-1 and mtvp-sdk-wince-0.1) this is contain a
sample code for pocket pc 2002 and 2003) Which is not working properly
with windows cE 5.0 OS
..
You will find in google groups itself I've put lots of queries
regarding media player and video streaming from this you can guess how
much I've been wandering to achieve my purpose....So thinking abt the
new software engineer who will going to start this application can get
good help...I'm putting this question like discussion....
After everal searches this wht I found:
1) Windows Media Player dosen't support Mpeg2 format on windows CE OS.
(from some groups query I came to know that windows Media player 10
seriese supports it but it is only available in latest mobile devices
not on emulator). So next option is directshow method.
2) for MPEG video streaming i have use directshow method. Again in this
method I need some filters. For particularly MPEG I have to concentrate
on transform filter which is responsible for decoding. I've searched
MPEG decoder but still some doubt. Can desktop filter work for windows
CE platform. if not then I again have to go for desiging the OS or,
mpeg4 will enough for this purpose which allready there in widows ce
OS?
3) Suppose I found the mpeg codecs then how to use..I didn't find any
proper documents or good sample code so that i can study and make my
own application.
3) If i plan to purchase a thrid party control (activex)..for this
pupose. can anyone suggest me where i can find demo version of that
control because I have to make demo applicatoin to show my client and
then only i can purchase that control. morever I don't have any
physical device so the control should work well with emulator..
Please share your knowledge not only for me for all the software
engineers who are struggling and wandering for these things...
Thanking you

| FYI:
PocketTV (www.pockettv.com) can play and stream MPEG on Pocket PC and
Smartphone.
There are other MPEG codecs and applications available for WinCE, for
example TCPMP (aka Betaplayer) uses a variety of open-source MPEG codecs.
There is lots of open-source code available, if this is what you are looking
for. Commercial code is also available, but rarely free.

| Thank you for your response. I didn't even expect that this response
will be from pocket pc....Well, during the search every search pointed
me to this site. So I'd gone through this side thoroghly. I've
downloaded most of all the opensource code and tried but wht I found
problem is as follows..
1). This is source code only works with the Pocket pc 2002 and Pocket
pc 2003
2). I put the query how to use pocket TV on emulaotr. I got the answer
that I have to use real device. Right now I don't have any real
device.. i've to make a demo on Emulator only..
3).If any codec available on Windows CE then How to use them with
emulator. do I have to rebuild the windows CE OS?
It is not like that i'm just putting my queries on finding the
problem,I've struggled to finding out solution after that only I'm
putting this query. So please don't break this discussion you have made
my hope for possibility....And I know nothing is impossible......
Thanking you

| Thank you for reply. During the search for Video Streaming on Windows
CE 5.0. Most of all discussion led me to pocket TV. So I'd gone through
this website. "Download sdk","Open sourcodes" available on this site.
But this sourcode not working with the Windows CE 5.0 emulator. Even
I'd tried with Pocket pc 2003 Emulator but still it dosen't work.
Perhaps it works only with real deivce..is it true ?? (1)
I want to make a demo application so that I can show it to our client.
But for that we don't have any real device..After approval by client
only we will going to purchase new device and control..
If I've MPEG-4 in my OS of windows CE5.0 will it work for Video
streaming...(2)
I also came to know that for Video Streaming I've to go with MPEG-2
format..is it true ???(3)
If I have to write program for video streaming it means that I should
have mpeg filter graph for decompress which should be in my Development
os(ie Windows XP) and My Target OS (Windows CE5.0) . is it true?? (4)
if yes then from where I can get this??(5)
By your reply I found some hope of Possibility.. I putting this
question after lots of search... I've tried my best to develop this
application and to find the answer of this suspected questions....
Thank you very much once again

Can you give some more samples? TCPMP is not really open-source.. nor any
of its codecs.

PocketTV is not open-sourse, therefore not available (except under
commercial licensing).

no, video streaming can be done with other formats, including MPEG-1 and
MPEG-4/h.264

probably not true. it depends what type of streaming you want to implement.

i don't know if what you everything you are looking for is available as
opensource code.

By the way, the source of TCPMP 0.72 can be downloaded from:
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/...0.72RC1.tar.bz2

| Please do not post direct links to anything... rather the top page...
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test
After the 0.72 reelase we will no longer be using this 'test' site and
all release will be done on http://www.corecodec.org for our open
source BetaPlayer version.

Thanks.
