Midi Ringtones not working on WM5 even after the patch. - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello All,
I installed the WM5 some time back and I was pretty happy with it too. Though it is bit on a slower side, but overall it's okay.
I have applied all the patches available here. The Album with Midi one as well. But even after that some of the midi files don't do anything when I set them as ringtone, just a small beep; that's all. I did not face this issue on WM 2003 SE. The irony is that these midi files play abolutely ok in the Album player, but as soon as I set them as ringtones, they don't work.
Please help...
Thanks,
Siddharth

Wav tones

Hi,
I have recently exchanged some wav format ringtones from a friend. Unfortunately 80% of them dont work.when i click play it doesnt play,dunno y? else wise it works fine on my computer..any ideas?
i think you have to adjust the bitrate, as the wave formats on the PPC is different from other symbian devices as nokia 6600,6260...etc
u can find a software that converts wave/ogg/mp3/wmv....etc into differents formats and bitrates
i haven't tried it though, but this issue is well known for pocket PPCs
May also be that they need to be PCM-formatted.
Windows Sound Recorder will reformat them - it's in Programs, Accessories, Entertainment

TCPMP will not stream AVI files?

Hi All,
I have TCPMP V0.72 (And 0.71) and sucessfully streamed MPG video and MP3 audio from my NAS box. However any AVI (No matter what codec has compressed it) just will not play..... it seems to load the ile correctly and everything looks ready to go but when you press play it just freezes...
I have tried this on WM5 Ultimate and WM6 Beautiful (Thanks KDS ) and they both seem to show this feature.
Any ideas?
Now, thats odd. I just watched an avi file compressed with divx codec(with mp3 audio stream) with TCPMP provided in V.72.
What codec are you using?
Hi KDS,
The files are compressed with random codecs the main ones i am trying are based on Core ASP (The compression was done on my linux box). The phone has all the codecs i could find installed
AAC
FFMPEG
FLAC
AC3 (audio only i think)
speex (no idea)
Vorbis (i assume for ogg audio)
I just tried an AVI with no compression and it worked (except for stuttering caused by the data rate)
I am new to the universal ROM cooking world. I think it used to work although very choppy when i tried a while ago..... (EDIT probably over a year On the standard Vodafone UK install and a previos version of TCPMP (no idea what versions though)
Gotcha!
I'd not installed any of those plugins to avoid extra space inside the ROM.
Just put the given below files inside the windows folder and try watching your videos/movies again.
Do tell me if they worked for you
Hi KDS,
Just tried a hard reset then installed TCPMP 0.72RC1 then copied the suggested files to the folder.
Then i used netuse to lock onto the local file and then opened a file in TCPMP.
Once again everything looks ok until i press play and nothing happens. It then freezes me out if i try and open another file.... These files open and play normally if they are on the SD card.
TO recap everything is fine until i try to load a compressed AVI (I managed to see an uncompressed one) Are these read or transmitted in a different way?
There are so many different things i could change but i would be stabbing in the dark not knowing what the issues are, should i look at something other than the universal to make this work (lan storage unit firmware etc,)
Any guidance would be appreciated as this is the final hurdle to getting the universal to be the centre point for my home entertainment system
You tried the files in abovementioned post?
Hi KDS,
Yes i did try but got nothing.
It looks like;
It is not TCPMP streaming over the network as this works (with uncompressed files)
It is not Compressed files as they play from the SD card properly.
It is not the version of WM5 vs WM6 or any OS related feature as in all the different roms i have tried it fails and works in the same way.
My final attempt tonight is to stream from a completely differnt source (a PC based SAMBA share) hopefully this will work and will be at least able to watch recorded TV and the most recently converted video.
Seems i have a strange one here....thanks for the help though
KDS would you think there would be any merit in changing the firmware on the wireless router?
I just proved everything works with a PC based SAMBA share. (through the wireless router)
So it leaves only the NAS box left to blame....i really wanted to have my media stored in this fashion as it means i do not need to have a PC on all the time.
Anyway thanks for a very good site, forum and members... and now i have my Univeral and Palm treo v750 on WM^ i am sure i will stick around. and get well and truely besotted with all things HTC.....
Til next time
@KDS Thanks for trying it is nice to have sucjh direct contact to a person in the know.
Glad that the things worked for you!

slow windows media player. Using kavana 6.1

Hi all, I'm using the remade version of Kavana 6.1, and I love almost everything about it. Sliding Panels, threaded SMS, etc. The only thing that drives me nuts is, I use my phone as my main mp3 player with Moto S9's. Whenever I change a song in windows media player, it is terribly sloooow to change the song. Usually a 6-7 second delay, but when I was using the original wm6 rogers rom, it was pretty quick and snappy.
Any ideas? Maybe a different media player? I have no other aps running in the background, only WM player. Thanks for all your help everyone

Have you tried overclocking it a little? Try running it at 216mhz. I wouldn't go past 240, seriously.

You can't beat it WMP is a resource hog with lack of codecs and when anyone brings up this lagy playback between tracks it eather WMP or AudioManager.
i noticed this problem as well with wmp mobile and a lot of songs on the SD device. are there updates for the player that could fix this issue or tweaks? i hate having to buy another player and then having to re-encode my tracks from wma pro 10.
TCPMP works great, great sound, EQ, light on the Ram, ohh yeeeaaaa.
Is there a way to make TCPMP the default to stream audio instead of the WMP?
I tried to get TCPMP to load today but get a message that it is not compatible with my device (a Dash with Kavana 6.1). Any thoughts? Do you have a link for a download or suggestions about what is up?
How does avi play on these other media players (if at all)?
TCPMP needs to be installed in the phone memory not the storage card.
avi plays great on tcpmp. i get dvd quality but they do take up alot of space

no MP3 ringtones sound

I downloaded some ringtones as mp3 or mp4 but no sound when selected as ringtones. It works if I select it to play in windows media player.
I have 3VO series rom on WM6.5.
check your settings, and make sure you have the ringer on loud and your system all the way up on the slide. hopefully this works.
i was using ringtones downloaded from myxer and they were in mp3d format and would never work. so now i just cut my own songs and make my own shortened mp3's and they work fine everytime.
check the file format on your computer and see what they are.
ignore what i said earlier it is invalid. my problem stemmed from the newest 3vo rom. dont know how to work it out.

Are the files you are trying to use high-quality, or better quality? If so, then try to use ones of lesser quality, since you don't need a HQ sound coming from your cell phone on RING...chances are that loading up that sound (if it is of a higher quality) takes up a decent amount of processing power/RAM, that at one point it just can't process the ring anymore.
I am using the 3vo 2.5 as well...if you want to send me the file, i can see if i figure out what the problem is...(you can email me it, just click my name and send me an email)

looking for mp3 player

Hey guys,
Im looking for a good mp3 player, I have Nitrogen but I don't like how it doesnt organise my songs by artist or album or by title. I have all my different albums in different folders and if I wanna hear one song from one album and then another from a different album I have to go back and forth between folders... unless Im missing something with the Nitrogen player.
Also was just wondering if there are similar mp3 players that have something similar to iphones coverflo feature, just think that is a cool feature.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks
u should google for WinamPAQ
hmm looked at the winamp.but it didnt look finger friendly, is there anything else?
i spent a while looking for a good finger friendly mp3 player for my x1, the clear winner for me was "pocket player" by conduits.
thanks widebhoy, i did some more research and came across that one too, im gonna try it out.
thanks again
Yeah, Pocket Player is definitely the best music player for WM. I love it!
htc audio manager.
* finger friendly
* automatically organizes audio library (by album/artist/whatever)
* fast UI, low battery consumption
Hello
Try MortPlayer, supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and WAV, ID3- (V1.0-V2.3) and Ogg-Tag-Information, WinAmp- and MediaPlayer-Playlists (M3U, PLS, ASX, read only), A2DP / AVRCP, Configurable Fonts for Playlists... and much much more.
And for Fingerfriendly using you can download one of the many Skins or create your own Skin.
Pocket Player is good but I think MortPlayer offers more capabilities and is more powerful.
Bye

Have you tried S2P?

In the Conduits forums there is a thread concerning this problem. An admin claims beeing able to provide an early beta of version 4.2 which should fix the issue. He (or she) says if someone is interested one should contact him (or her) by email. The email adress is mentioned in the thread. Maybe it is worth a try?
does anybody have a free version of this pocketplayer?
in their web it only last for 30 days, and then we have to pay

That is because it's not freeware. But it is definitely worth the monney.
i think naitrogen is best
using mortplayer since i`ve got my x1. i tried all the others,but mortplayer allways finds the way back to my device... for those like me who have thousands of tracks on the card, mortplayer will give you the effectivist playlist
If you're still interested I'd recommend either S2P or iMulator. S2P has more function and design, but iMulator is faster.
You also have Nitrogen v 1.1, although it's a bit outdated.
nitrogen

If you'd ask me I'd vote for mort player =)
i think S2P is best - it integrates well with S2U2, and new pay version is AWESOME, but 0.83 is still quite good and if u want to make it fingerfriendlier- all u have to do is get a different skin ( some got bigger buttons ), only downside its not as smooth as WMplayer but got nicer autoplaylist capabilities - its only one i found that lets me play all my music from Storage Card WITHOUT small game files , ringtones etc, because u can NOMINATE your MUSIC folder- that feature alone worth its weight in gold IMO
i basically have 5 MP3 players on my SEX1 - WMP, Nitrogen, S2P, plus 2 panels - OnTheRoad and MediaXP , and think that for pure feature plus stability value- nothing beats S2U2 + S2P in that combo u get - FullScreen CallerID, LockScreen, NotificationReminders, Messages Previews, AND Very Good INTEGRATED FullScreen Album Pic + Nominated Music Folder MP3/M4A/WAV/+music player plus whole lot of other things i'm prrobably forgetting , so if u r NOT using manilla ( which have most of these inbuild) i personally find thta manilla doesnt run too well on stock xperia, i think S2U2 + S2P is a must , as a matter of fact : its on my reinstall list right after SPB Software every time i hardreset , anyway- these things are different for everyone , because it all depends on what kind of rom and soft u running and what are your requirements, e.g- both mortplaer and pocketmusic bundle kept crashing on my X1, but S2P and Nitrogen - work well
hope this helps, mate
