A media player for Palm OS-based and Windows CE / Windows Mobile-based devices capable of rendering some of the most commonly used media file formats. (The Core Pocket Media Player) 0.71 / 0. Windows CE (sometimes abbreviated WinCE) is a variation of Microsoft's Windows operating system for minimalistic computers and embedded systems. Windows CE is a distinctly different kernel, rather than a 'trimmed down' version of desktop Windows. It is supported on Intel x86 and compatibles, MIPS, ARM, and Hitachi SuperH processors. This is short clip showing how to adjust media player and quick walk through windows CE on media-nav.

Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Device Emulator is a powerful utility that was developed to enable advanced computer users such as software developers or programmers to open emulated-based images that.

When the hardware acceleration is used it is possible playing a full HD video by using a very low percentage of CPU.

Notes

• Entry Point refers to the point in which software passes workload to Hardware. Since VLD is earlier than MC, more processing is done in hardware if entry point is VLD.
• Validated by Intel using Intel® Embedded Graphics Driver v 10.1 Gold

How to play videos using Hardware acceleration

There are two principal requirements that allow a video playing by using the Intel® SCH US15W chipset hardware acceleration:

• The video has to be encoded by using a particular codec (h.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1 formats that use the more efficient VLD entry point on the Intel® SCH US15W chipset.)
• The software used to play the video has to be capable with the Intel® SCH US15W chipset hardware acceleration.

Some tests have been done in order to find the software that can work properly and the right codec configuration. Those tests have been done under WXPE with the graphics drivers IEGD (version 10.3) and IEMGD (version 1.5 beta).

The softwares that have been used with success in this test are:

• Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 (there is a trial version but the software has to be paid)
• Media Player Classic Home Cinema version 1.4.2499.0.x86 (freeware)

As previously mentioned the video has to be encoded in the right way by using one of the following codec: h.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1. In our test an HD video with resolution of 1280x528 has been encoded by using the H264 codec. The following software have been installed in order to do that:

• VirtualDub version 1.9.10 (freeware)
• Ffdshow codec version beta7 (freeware)

Here the workflow thus has to be followed to get the video file coded in the right way: the video has to be imported in VirtualDub. By opening the “Select video compression” window in VirtualDub (Video-> Compression) it is possible to select the ffdshow in the list of installed codecs. Then by clicking on the “Configure” button it is possible to set the ENCODER and the FOURCC to the entry H.264. A FourCC (literally, four-character code) is a sequence of four bytes used to uniquely identify the video codec used in AVI files. This means that the FourCC code is used from the player software to determine which codec has been used to encode the video. If the FourCC has a wrong value not equal to H.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1 (e.g X264 or AVC1), the playing software will not use the Hardware Acceleration decoding. The following image shows the ffdshow video encoder configuration window with the ENCODER and FOURCC fields correctly set. The encoding process has to be started (File->Save as AVI) and in order to get the final video file.

This file can be played with the above mentioned Player by using a very low CPU percentage (a value between 6% and 15%).

Windows CE

In 1995, Microsoft started the development of the new operating system called Windows CE under the code name Pegasus. The graphical user interface and usability has similarities with Windows 95 and has been designed especially for embedded devices. The application programming interface (API) contains a subset of the Win32 API used for Windows on personal computers. At the beginning, Handheld PCs and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are supported with the processor architectures as MIPS 3000/4000, SuperH of Hitachi and Intel x86. The 32-bit operating system has a limit of up to 32 processes with up to 32 MB virtual memory for each process. The minimum requirements are stated as 4 MB ROM and 2 MB RAM.
Windows CE 1.0 has been presented at the COMDEX, Las Vegas in November 1996. One of the first devices for Windows CE was HP 300 LX and available at the market on 16th November 1996. The operating system is not sold separately and always tied to the device unit delivered by the original equipment manufactures. The resolution of the touch screen is 640x240 pixel and corresponds to the half-VGA resolution. Data can be synchronized between mobile device and desktop computer with the 'Handheld PC Explorer' software. Although the localization in German was planned, the first Version of Windows CE was only available in English.
At the beginning there have been speculations about what 'CE' is standing for. Interprations like 'Compact Edition' and also 'Consumer Electronics' was spread. Microsoft declared later that 'CE' is not an abbreviation but represents more the rules of orientation during the development to create an new operating system that is more 'Compact', Connectable', Compatible', an 'Companion,' and 'Efficient'.
Windows CE 2.0 came in October 1997 with the first devices on the market. The operating system can now be designed modular by the device manufacturers itself. TrueType fonts improving now the appearance of characters on the screen with a display of 640x480 pixel full VGA resolution and 24-bit color depth. The manageable memory can now be up to 4 MB. The software 'Handheld PC Explorer' was renamed to ActiveSync. The operating system is also available in German now.
The update Windows CE 2.10 in July 1998 allows the use of TCP/IP and the file system FAT32. With the modular file wrapper can be incorporated up to 256 different file systems. The RAM can now be up to 16 MB. The new command line processor allows in this release for the first time the use of commands without a graphical user interface. An infrared port and USB controller increases the scope.

Pocket PC 2003 or Windows Mobile 2003 has a real-time kernel and is based on the Windows CE. NET 4.2 kernel. The features of the XScale CPU are now fully available and use the advanced commands of the ARM v5 architecture. The Pocket Media Player can now play videos in Windows Media 9 format. A WLAN stack was added and the setup of the connections was made easier.
Windows Mobile 2003 SE from March, 25. 2004 for Pocket PCs can switch over the display contents between the portrait and landscape format and displays up to 480 × 640 pixels. The start menu was changed light and the handwriting recognizer software Transcriber is controllable with Shortcuts now. The Internet Explorer converts web pages to a adapted format for better view on small displays.
Windows Mobile 5.0 was finished on May 5th, 2005. It is used in Pocket PCs, Smartphones and compact Media Players. Important innovations in this release are the support of Persistant Storage to prevent a data loss at a low battery usage and the revised mobile Office with Word, Excel and Powerpoint. The Windows Media player was updated to version 10 and the sync software ActiveSync to version 4.0. With Direct3Dmobile a new standard API was created for a simplified programming of 3D applications and games for PDAs.
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 was introduced in the year 2006. It offers a revised kernel architecture of the operating system, up to 32,000 parallel processes can be executed. A virtual addressable range of 2 gbyte is possible for every process. The multimedia capabilities have been expanded and now support HD-DVD, DVD (MPEG-2), UDF 2.5, multi-channel audio and much more. The compatibility to existing Windows CE applications and drivers are kept. Microsoft published the whole source code of the kernel within the own Shared Source Initiative.
Microsoft announced at the 'CTIA Wireless' Windows Mobile 6.1 in April 2008. This new release is to be easier for the access to messages and to configure. The integrated web browser supports Adobes Flash, Microsoft Silverlight and the video codec H.264. Functions for Smartphones have been improved.
The market research group Gartner, Inc. released a press news about the worldwide market share of PDA ventors and operating systems on 22nd May 2007. 3.1 million Windows CE units have been sold in the 1st quarter 2007. This represents a dominant position with a market share of 62.1% by operating systems. The Windows CE operating system increased his share compared to the 1st quarter 2006 with 52.8% and 1.9 million units sold.
The market share changed significantly 10 years later. On 19th May 2016, Gartner released the following figures. With 8.2 million Windows units sold in 1st quarter 2015 and 2.3 million devices in 1st quarter 2016, this is equal to a market share of 2.5% and 0.7% only. As a result the Windows operating system is on 3rd place behind iOS and Android the market leader.
