I feel like such a dipstick, please disregard my last comment ( I forgot I copied the file to main storage). Platform4PocketPlayer still won't see any files on my storage card.

Can someone help me?
http://www.rarewares.org/mp4.html Philips MPEG4 player 2004-03-17 PocketPC version (2261Kb) - M4A Patch for the PocketPC version (patch only works on Windows). I downloaded the PocketPC version (2261kb) from the website shown above and installed it successfully on my iPAC. Then I tried to install the M4A patch from above so that I can play m4a files on my PocketPC and it won't install. The patch seems to be looking for a file name "Platform4PocketPlayer.exe" which doesn't match the PocketPC version name of "platform4_player_for_pocketpc_3.0.exe". What am I doing wrong? I tried modifying the name to what the patch was looking for and then I get the error "Platform4PocketPlayer.exe - File size/version missmatch!" If anyone can help me, that would be great! |

For it to work, you must copy the player program from your iPaq to your PC, patch it and move it back to the iPaq. You are trying to patch the installation program, and it won't work. You must patch the installed program.

Thanks! That worked great. Now I can listen to the 500 m4a files I have from my husband's iPOD on my iPAC!

OK, Philips sent me a nasty e-mail demanding I take their player offline. So I'm replacing the link to it with a link to another site hosting it.
I will keep hosting the patches in Brazil. If you badly want this player, get in touch with me and I can arrange a way to point you in it's direction.  Regards; Roberto. -------------------- Get up-to-date binaries of Lame, AAC, Vorbis and much more at RareWares:

following thris thread i am truly amazed having finally found a software that would let me run .aac files on pocket-pc - does seem very strange to me that none of the numerous ppc-players commercially available allows .aac . actuall i have seen quite a few people looking for a pocketpc-aac.player in various ppc forums.
just too bad platform4 player (and your great mp4 fix) appears not to run on my pocketpc 2003 ipaq 2210. following installation routine everything runs fine except one prompt asking to replacing file windows/gx.dll of 05.07.03 against a version of 10.11.2001. Either way I decide: I get a new entry with symbol in start menu, I start platform4 player which opens only to close itself immediately less than a second later. Have been installing and re-installing a few times - always same story. any ideas? julia, does your ipaq run pocket pc 2003? thanks for help, @swim2birds |

Resurrecting this thread once more as the latest version (Unstable) of betaplayer has support for AAC http://corecodec.org/projects/betaplayer/
Even better news is that it also supports HE-AAC - You just need the aacfull plugin from here http://forge.topcat.hu/frs/?group_id=5 This post has been edited by hazza: Dec 13 2004, 22:45 |

I installed the aacfull plugin, but BetaPlayer still says the m4a files are of unknown file type.

QUOTE (rpop @ Dec 14 2004, 08:45 AM) I installed the aacfull plugin, but BetaPlayer still says the m4a files are of unknown file type.  I assume you tried with unstable 0.095 player version (not the "stable" 0.04 or older unstable). Could you send me a sample m4a (only non DRMed) that doesn't work? picard at demoscene dot hu This post has been edited by picard: Dec 14 2004, 18:32 |
