VLC Media Player? How to...

discipler · #1 (**permalink**) 01-02-2009, 01:47 AM

I found a link for the VLC Media Player, version 0.9.8a. I have no idea how to get it onto my Sprint Touch Pro. Does anyone here know how to download the program to the Touch Pro and to activate it?

And please don't rip on me if there should be a thread for this already because I searched "vlc" and came up with nothing for the Windows Mobile. Thanks.

I'm most sure VLC is not for pocket pc clients
you may want to try coreplayer or tcpmc

Rats. So it is for some Pocket PCs, but not the Touch Pro?

Not true. There is a PPC version of VLC, but it's not really working, and the development stopped few years ago...

VLC Media Player for XScale processor based Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices is available as an expermental project. It supports common formats available in its desktop counterpart, including some media formats meant for mobile devices.
Update: This experimental WinCE port of VLC has been discontinued. There are currently no plan to resume it, due to lack of interested developers and proper toolchains.
You can still download the latest alpha version of VLC Media Player for Windows Mobile Pocket PC from here. I have installed this application on my device, just to see if it would work, it does but i couldnt tell you any datails, i uninstall it already is a little to complicated, i better use tcpmp.
