Media Player Access to Shared Folder?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

the default file manager will not allow you to open a file on a share, you
can only copy and paste it from the share to your device. Use a third party
file explorer such as Resco File Explorer, it will allow you to open any
file on your network share, (mp3's movies, word docs ...)

Hi - I'm trying to get my Pocket PC Media player to open
mp3 files stored on a shared folder of my PC. Form my
PPC, I can explore the folder with no problem, but
tapping any mp3 file has no effect. I've also tried using
the "Open URL" option in Media Player itself but always
get a "path not found" messge (even though i can explore
to it!)

Are trying to play the mp3 on the PPC through the network or on the PC?

Not so, works fine on my Acer n20w running PPC2002. I use Pocket Music and
when I have wireless networking enabled mp3s on my networked pc open just
fine by tapping them in File Explorer. Use it all the time when I'm in the
garden.

My case, I add the WMA file in my device\windoes\ring in my O2 XDAII to
Media player playlist.
