Kinoma Player 4 EX continues that tradition with several important 'firsts.' Kinoma is the first to deliver support for Microsoft's Windows Media Video 9 on Palm OS, allowing Palm users to see the wealth of high quality content available in the Windows Media format for the first time. Kinoma is also the first to bring support for the wildly popular Flash Video format to Palm OS, allowing playback of video from some of the hottest video sites. And RTSP, the industry standard streaming protocol used in many industrial and commercial applications, is another Kinoma first on Palm OS. We are fans of Kinoma Play, but the software had usability issues which prevented it from becoming our primary media player. Whitelist to enable the website to. Apr 23, 2003.

Gek; I'll see what I can do. If they are not offering it through the PIC software store, then Ryan and I have to appeal to their willingness to grace us with a reg code or an evaluation version and some companies are funny about that sort of stuff. The trend towards the remaining 'name' or 'big ticket' Palm OS software being released with no trial version available (or a trial that's so limited you cannot use it enough to gauge functionality) is worrying. But then again you are seeing a lot of PC games without demos beforehand etc. I suppose it's a cost-cutting measure for the companies as a demo version is one more thing to troubleshoot/debug/test/host.but what it saves them in upfront $ it's likely to cost them tenfold in sales down the road. Pilot 1000-->Pilot 5000-->PalmPilot Pro-->IIIe-->Vx-->m505-->T|T-->T|T2-->T|C-->T|T3-->T|T5-->TX-->Treo 700P. Can it stream this??? I just upgrade my Kinoma Player 3 and Mac OSX Producer 3 - Both to version 4. They Charge $14.99 each (Great Deal) The New Version is worth it. I did try the link here for Bloomberg Stream, and I get 'Unsupported Media Format'. Just wanted to let you know that someone did try this. Other then that I can stream a ton of other things, Google Video, UTube, even my own online movies I have posted on a training site I built. This has a FANTASTIC New Interface, and the Black format is a welcome feature for the interface, the white was just to bright prior. The player still has that white line to the outside of the Player window - I know that is a Palm Issue. I thought I had heard that this was resolved (White Line Border) by some App though. I have never found it. I created this website.been working on it for a while actually: Easy to navigate google video interface for Palm devices. Search videos. Download in Mp4 or AVI format (where avaliable). (incase you don't have an FLV player) Or STREAM FLV with Kinoma 4EX easily with one click! I'm working on a similar type of deal for Youtube. Give it a week or so. I just added Kinoma to my website today. Currently works by passing an M3U file (make sure kinoma is associated with the file type). This is new so I'll try to make it even nicer and work out any minor bugs that may still be in the mix;-) Feedback appreciated.It took me a long time to write the CGI for this.especially considering I didn't know PHP at all before hand and had to learn it for this (it's an easy language thougb) Stephen M Packard, Jr. Yeah.I've heard some of this. A lot of this. It has to do with the file associations between Palm OS and blazer's Helper Apps. Apparently different versions and such handle it differently. Kinoma *should* grab the association adn make it work smoothly. Apparently, however this is not always the case. You could try changing the extension association using Reseco Explorer or something similar. Hopefully, if Kinoma 4 is the default asx handler, it'll allow you to open it without going through that. I'm not sure getting it to be seemless on everyone's device is realistic. Stephen M Packard, Jr. What i did was i went to the edit categories from the main menu toolbar and i edited categories, and moved kinoma from main to multimedia, but i have noticed it will try to download, buffer and play an.asxx file only to say media format not supported.and the ms widnows media site doesnt wana work either.probably because it knows i am not using a windows mobile player.dunno. It doesnt seem to find the music on my card cause of what directory i put it in, i think. Other than that.it has anti pirating activation, online one click updates, winamp-esque looks, kinoma is planning on premium channels by the free premium channel preview on there, wouldnt be surprised if something i tunes style was in the future. Had trouble loading youtube. But any of these problems could be because i am in the boonies of tennesee at the present, where the term 'bandwidth' only refers to how fat your country band's guitarist is. 3 kilobytes a second. Thats what she said! >>>> here are some bugs i found. I cant get some.asx files to work, most do 2. Have not gotten one.wmv to work. I downloaded a.mp4, not found by program searching media folder. 4.program will not find on scan or open from net.asf files at all thats just in relation to.asx,.mp4,.wmv, and.asf. *********** havent tried m3a23gpp, flash video, quicktime movie or vr so can not speak to them, or mqv files.**************** most everything i went thru so far in the guide seems to work, which is not in any way related to the bugs above, the guide seems to be tailor suited to work around the bugs, the guide is pretty flawless, except youtube and cnn videos, but its a big guide, so there have to be more. More bug description-if i click on a.asx file from the 'files' program, or media folder, it will say no programs know how to open this kind of file (.asx) but if i go into kinoma it will scan, find it, as long as i saved it in media folder, and has no problem with it. Downloading of an.asx and kinoma recognized as file association handler is not problematic. I get a similar message trying to open cnn and youtube video in the guide. For some reason the device (t5) would re-name it. Example.asx would become example.asf. Audio on podcasts and videos play in mono only most of the time, going in and out, on a fresh startup of the program they usually play in stereo for a little while then cut out, i thought my headphones were broken. I went to many wmp sites and couldnt get a one to work. This is too neat a program.to not support it. And that goes to the developer and the palm users, i would have commented sooner, about bugs, but 1. I was listening to podcasts and google videos. And i didnt want to scare people off from getting it. When do you expect an update to be avalible? Thats what she said! I've been waiting these past 2 weeks for a more extensive/ in-depth review of this product. Especially how WELL it is/ is not/ integrated with (any default) web browser -- in my case the Blazer 4.3 on a Lifedrive. Has there been such a review somewhere? Kinoma website only mentions Blazer 4.5 bundled with newer Treos; and there doesn't seem to be any upgrade path of it for earlier models. So, after installing EX4, when youtube.com link clicked in Blazer, will it seamlessly launch the Kinoma app, fetch and render that content? Or will one have to go through a manual, and seemingly recurrent, manual re/configuration, explicit file-aliasing and whatnot? (and the same mis/behavior for Google Video?).
