I plan to develop a live media application(C#) which can display and receive
media file concurrently...Is this possible?
If possible , is there any sample code or relevant API ?
(originally,I want to use DirectShow to implement it , but Pocket PC 2003
doesn't include DirectShow functionality)
thx for help~
 
I suppose you will need to host media player. This cannot be done in C# (not
in v1 of Compact Framework).
If you are thinking of building your own streaming solution, you will likely
have to do it in C as well, at least the transport part, but of course CF
can ne used to build the UI
 
Thank you^^ In fact,
I have a server which sends a media file(.mpeg .avi .wmv..) to my pocket pc.
Knowiing that I have to host media player ,how to implement , to receive the
bytes stream from server and display the media concurrently ?
Any sample or idea will be appreciate..
Thanks,
Eric

I've installed WINDOWS MEDIA ENCODER but I don't know exactly what to do..
"streaming the live vedio /Audio to PPC through some port"? how ? Is there a
server ?
Does "use PPC WMP to refer that port" means to open a url link ?
Would you please give me your appication source code ? If you don't mind..
thx for helping me ^^
(I am still a student and I'm totally new to it..so I have lots of questions.
Thank u for ur help)
 
Sounds like you've bitten off more than you can chew.
Media Encoder on it's own is not sufficient to stream media. You need the
Windows Media server for that. So you first need to set up tithe server and
get it streaming content before you can connect to it from a PPC to view it.
I recommend getting that going with the desktop media player firsts then go
to the Windows CE player.

I spent some time to search for "Windows media server" , but still didn't
know how to get it.. Is there any relevant web page ?
Thanks
 
Window Media Server is a part of Windows Server 2000 and Windows Server
2003. 2003 is recommended.
By the way, the statement about you requiring the Media Server is not
entirely accurate. Windows Media Encoder 9 can stream MMS to up to 5 clients
(in default configuration), so no, you don't have to have a dedicated
server. The only thing to keep in mind is that WM Encoder stream MMS over
UDP, so you will not be able to connect via ActiveSync connection as it does
not provide a UDP proxy. You can do it either from the emulator or from a
device using a LAN card.

On WM Encoder specify Push option and choose a port, something like 8080. On
the device (emulator) in Media Player choose Open URL and enter
mms://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 where xx.xx.xx.xx is your PC IP address.
