Yep, that's the media player activeX which uses the object model of
the desktop media player version 6.4

I can't think of a reason why that'd happen ...

And that is the activeX which uses the object model of the desktop
player version 7 or later. They use different javascript and params
(eg use player.URL instead of player.fileName)

No, there's only media player 10 : For this, you need to update the
operating system of the iPAQ to windows mobile 2003 SE, and then
download the updated media player patch from the manufacturer - or get
a device with WM2003SE and media player 10 for PPC pre-installed.

It should work OK. I can't test this cause I don't have access to a
PocketPC with windows media 10 on it.
