Media Player (Colibri)

Player.exe (Tegra only)​

Player.exe (MediaPlayer) is included in our standard Win CE image for our Colibri T20-T30 modules.

The Player is based on the Microsoft Sample DirectShow Player PlayerWnd which comes with the Platformbuilder.

Commandline Parameters​

player.exe [/f][/l0] videofilename 

videofilename    Full path to the video file

  /f  plays the video in full screen mode
  /l0 plays the video once, then exits 
      (the character after the slash / is small-L, not the number one)

Integrate Videos In Your Own Program​

DirectShow provides a nice interface to embedded videos directly in your own programs. You can use the source of the playerWnd in the Platform builder as starting point.

Supported Formats​

The supported formats are depending on the installed DirectShow Filter. For a general overview about the video decode performance have a look at the Colibri T20 Datasheet.

Windows Media Player​

The Windwos Media Player is not included in the Windows CE core license. It is included in the Win CE Professional license.

Video playback from user applications​

We provide some samples here:

Those work with all recent Windows-CE platforms, even if framerate may be reduced on device that have no hardware accelerated video playback.
