Evening all,

(Apologies if this is in the wrong place)

My dad's recently got himself a GPS (cheapy from ebay) which is running window CE, I'm trying to get it to play some films but really not having any luck, never used windows CE before there's is a media player already but wondered if this can be update to maybe play the files? Just really looking for some advice. Thanks Dave

Several players for Windows (Embedded) CE available, ex.

TCPMP (both freeware and payware version)
Fortuna ( a rewrite of TCPMP )
Shinco ( a rewrite of TCPMP )
CEPlayer
Windows Media Player (esp. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556270 )

Theirs development all was stopped years ago!

Probably you'll have to install a DirectX-driver (ex. GAPI for HPC) too. And be aware, the aspect ratio of a GPS-device's screen resolution

320x240
480x234
480x272
640x480
800x480

never matches that of a MPEG-2 video

720×576 PAL MPEG-2 a little bit wider than 4:3, 16:9 anamorph
720×480 NTSC MPEG-2 a little bit wider than 4:3, 16:9 anamorph
704×576 PAL MPEG-2 4:3, 16:9 anamorph
704×480 NTSC MPEG-2 4:3, 16:9 anamorph

hence you always firstly have to convert a given MPEG-2 video.

I have one of the newer Ford F150 OEM'ish looking radios. [chinese]

Think mine has 2 OS's

The GPS runs separately from units proprietary wince. The GUI for radio/cd/dvd part looks totally unlike anything i've ever seen.

Currently, running the media player embedded in the iGo Primo GPS software. I'd like a "better" media center, but don't wanna risk f**king somthing up. I dunno where an installed app would even appear

Your unit indeed consists of 2 IC mainboards: one holding and running WinCE / navigation software ( iGO ), the other is the MCU. Hence the unit has 2 SD-card slots, one for GPS maps, one for music/video.
If you install a WindowsCE app, it is copied either onto unit's internal storage memory ( Flash Disk ) or onto unit's external storage memory ( SD-card ). Depends on your choice.

BTW: Never heard before that iGO comes with a media player embedded. :)

I haven't mess'd with CE in 10 years....and have never used iGo. So this new radios full of "all kinds of unknowns"

I'd just like to have a full featured Media-Player

YOUR file: Un-zipped and placed "folder" [un-opened] on root of SD [the music one - not GPS]. Explorer can see the folder, which contains .exe

Not seeing anything in GUI menu that shows anything new. I did then, dbl clicked on the .exe.....nothing happened

I dunno......maybe you can't enter or mess with root ?

Yes, you can have an iGO skin (ex. Dimka skin) that lets you run an external application such as a mediaplayer. Obviously OEM has utilised such a skin. If I know it right then in Dimka skin the additional menu of start of external programs is opened by long click on button Menu in a navigation mode ...

You probably will see your issue isn't Windows CE related, but iGO. Ask the iGO specialists for help. :)
