Problem: When trying to change the volume while using the those two players, sound just gets so bad and choppy, while playing it is fine, but once you want to modify the volume, boy it gets dirty..

What to do? VOlume slider works PERFECTLY fine with Windows Media Player..

Thanks..

You get what you pay for. ;)

Did you try the Conduits Player? Thats what I use.

That's the "Pocket Player", right? Yeah I did. It had the same problem. Whatever I try, It seems only the WMP won't give me any problem with "volume slider".

Isn't there a simple mp3 player with no bells and whistles? Just play and pause and next. That's all need... :( It makes me think of going back to my mp3 player..

difficulty in developing on ppc isn't as much a function of screen size, it's more a function of available libraries. I'm just getting started on ppc development (havne't ac utally coded anything as of yet) but with visual studio .net 2003 and the compact framework, developing for ppc isn't that much harder than developing for pc. What I see being more difficult is dealing with more limited resources when compared with pc development.

anyway once i start actaully developing with ppc i'll have a better idea (i've only written software for pc and my experience even with that is somewhat limited at this point)

hyedipin

How did you get started for PPC s/w developement? Would you suggest any strating points or reference guides for that? I am a bit familiar with VB v6 from college, i'd like to apply that for PPC s/w if possible.

Thanks

You'd think so but getting a GUI that works is my hardest part. I develop database apps on the PPC so it might be a function of having to put lots of data in a small area. I'm sick of "tabs".:crooked:

Try GSPlayer. http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/gsp.htm

Site is in Japanese; just look for "Download (English Version)".

well you're basically where i'm at!
this is a good starting point:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...r/default.mspx

here's a microsoft help file on learning to build apps using visual studio and the compact framework:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

here's some more info on some intro info to which tools to use:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...mobileapps.asp

From what I've been reading, the easiest way to develop an app is to use visual studio .net 2003 along with the .NET compact framework. This lets you use either C# (of which i've never touched) or visual basic .net (i've done vb5 and vb6 like you so the learning curve with vb .net shoud'nt be that bad).

if you go this route you can develop apps that run on both ppc2002 and 2003. However, ppc2002 doesn't include the compact framework so it would need to be installed on the pda running the app if it's under ppc2002.

An alternative is to develop using embedded C++ 4, however this is more geared to apps that require a tighter control on resources or apps that need a small footprint. It seems to me that there would be a tradeoff here: optimzied code but longer development time.



Maybe we should get a developers forum section of aximsite provided that there's enough interest in having one.

As I said I havne't acutally done any of this yet, just a bit of background research to see which direction I should be headed.

I see your point and I know i'll be completely frustrated with the GUI side of development once I get there. What are you using for development on ppc? What DBMS are you using?

The app that I'm gonna start developing is gonna use a DBMS, however the DB is gonna reside on a server and the PDA will interact with it via Bluetooth (and most likely wifi as well since the communications aspect is independent of the DB used and the other aspects of the client and server software.. if developed properly)

I use SQL Server CE. I'm not a big fan of SQL Server on the PC, but it is the best database on the PPC/WM platform. I've also used the pocket access format for small databases.

red-i

ah so it's a locally run DB. Mine's gonna run remote so I'll use either sqlserver, mysql, or even a simple access db at first (and use odbc to connect to it using vb on the pc side). anyhow thanks.

hyedipin

Thanks Red-i for ref.

Also, Thank you sloth for the player, I wil try it out. ;) Try

Translation or see attachement. :p

Oh I misunderstood. I use whatever the client uses. Oracle, DB2, SQL Server. I prefer Oracle over the other two, but I really don't care.

Hey all,

I tried GSPlayer and it is fine, the volume problem persists with all the players BUT the WMP. I can't believe but I think MS has done it better this time. The problem with volume is that when I adjust the volume with the master, it just gives a brief silence, when adjusting volume, however WMP does not have this problem with its volume slider. ;) All i need with WMP is a way to turn screen off, that's it. But I must say GSPlayer does it the best, and even though it looks small, it has one of the most configurable and adjustable system.

Oh also, for those into develepement, I have found a book . Does anybody have any ideas? Think it's worth a try? ;)

I'm not going near java for ppc yet.. i'm gonna start out using vb.net or C# using the compact framework. Seems to be a good way of going if you want fairly rapid development.
