Nice app, I'm trying on a square res 320x320 and while the skin is off a little, not bad just the buttons are not centered it is working.

Only played with it a little bit but it seems the USA channel Discovery is not working. Can you check if the address it correct. Other USA channels is working.
I had some problem in full screen on NBC, could be just this channel or connection.

I would like your xml file for skin to reskin this for the square resolution. Will be glad to help you out in this project.

This application should work on any wm5 or wm6, QVGA or VGA device. It contains more than 40 channels from 11 countries and has a lot of supported languages. Here are some screen shots and a link for a beta version. I'm waiting for your help and comments to improve Diamond TV. I'll add more channels as soon as possible (the more channels you send me, the more there will be in the application, and ... you'll have a free license key). DiamondTV Web site: http://www.ds-info.fr/DiamondTV/ David There already is a thread about that in the Diamond section, but since the application is now compatible with other devices, I've created a new one here.

Try to use another Media Player. I know that some channels won't work with Windows Media Player but will perfectly work with CorePlayer.

You're right, Discovery is not working, but the URL seems to still be OK. Let's wait a little and see.
Since it's my first dev on PocketPC, I've no idea of how skins work, so there is not xml file describing the skin. But I'll try to have the next version work on square devices)

Is there a way to play with Coreplayer? Mine defaults to WMP. It would be nice to have a setting to set which player is default.

on the website of coreplayer is written:
Streaming Formats:
HTTP, UDP, UDP Unicast, RDP, RTP. RTSP, RTCP (keep alive), ASX, ASF, Multicast, HTTP Tunneling
but no mms:\\
whats bout this?

Well I don't know how your program is written but some programs use a config file usually .xml this file tells where the x, y, size, height, and other parameters for text and icons or buttons and defines where they are placed.

The default player can only be set using the player's options!

For Coreplayer, you have to go to Menu/Tools/Preferences ... and select page 'File Associations'.
