I have Core Player 1.0.4, and on WM5 I could get it to play all video formats including WMV. Now that I've upgraded to WM6 (vp3G version 3.0), it won't play WMV files (says something about a windows media 9 codec). I also don't see an option to check WMV files in the preferences anymore as well.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix? I like Core Player a lot better than Windows Media player since it's so clunky to access files and doesn't play everything like Core does, and would like to get it working optimally again.
Thanks.

As far as I know that version has problems. Try v1.1.0 it works like charm on my TyTN.

I found Core Player 1.1 and it doesn't play Window Media Video files either. It's a pain to use 2 different media players now. Anyone know when the next version of Core Player will be out?
To play WMV files with CorePlayer, pop the attached DLLs in the same folder as CorePlayer.exe - works for me!
Not it does not work for me!

I used to install that version (1.xx) and I have the same issue, but after going back to 0.81, most of media files can be played on it.
Both Core player and Sompy crash every time I try to open them. WMP10 plays well. Any thoughts on what may be the problem?

I had posted this in another thread but only one reply was wondering if it may be WM6 related. A friend with a nokia phone sent me a couple of MMS video files but when I open them up they are blank. But they have an extension of 3GP. Does anyone know if the Artemis will read these by default or TCPMP play them. I have loaded Meshles rom is there any problems with this rom playing these type of files? Do you need to convert these firstly. If so to what format? The last one that was sent did not work but I then received a txt msg from ‘O2’ which informed me that:
“You have been sent a media message from nnnn that your mobile doesn’t support. View it at www.O2.uk/M by typing in your mobile number and pin”
Ay advice appreciated...cheers JD76...
I'm using Meschle's 3.01 rom, windows media player plays 3gp, but jerky, TCMP plays it full speed.
Hope that helps
thanks Kaigame...any other help/advice...cheers jd
Yep, TCMP, or download the trial of CorePlayer form coreplayer.com.
Can't say anymore really more, as TT says.....
The Core Media Player plays them fine, i saw your post, downloaded a 3gp file and tried it, i don't really use my phone for video yet

So you don't want my Pingu avi's then?? ;-)
Coreplayer/TCMP is the only player I've found that reliably plays video, and it's also the only player that handles A2DP bluetooth streaming properly.
yesterday i try to get rid of some old apps instaled on my HD and i messed with the registry
i also instaled new apps
last night i tryed to watch a movie (mp4 format) that i now for sure it worked when i loaded on my sd card
now the HTC Album doesn't play it any more and i tryed with other movies and it's the same. i get the following message:
"No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
what the heck is that?
is it possible to accidentaly erased some essential things or the new apps to overwrite something?
the pictures are played well, so i am confused
could anyone help?
thanks a lot!
best regards!
nobody?
at least does anyone have, or can make, a cab with windows media player?
it seems that there is the problem
thank you!
which rom you use?
try Windows Media Player if you have a cooked rom! or go to HTC Album press Option search your Movie
nope
i use stock rom 1.14.479.3(25874)WWE
album can "see" the movies within movies folder but it doesn't play them. i just get the mentioned message
same with windows media player but no message. just not play the files.

And just from my point of view, if ANYONE suggest Coreplayer, please do me a personal favour and ignore them. Whilst Coreplayer will play the majority of video files...due to a lack of hardware acceleration support it plays them incredibly poorly in my rather expansive experience of Windows Mobile devices.

yeah, coreplayer does play the files, but i spent a lot of time converting them in order to play with album / wmplayer because of the hardware accelearation and now i can do that anymore
it kinda drive me crazy because i don't want to do a hard reset. AGAIN
how MP4 file association to WMP?
I tried with Total Commander, but i set param %1, i have error
if no param, just start the WMP.
Open from Library play video correctly
nope
tryed to do what you said with total commander - same result
must be something related to that message
but what filters are those? and what to do with them?
cmmon guys, don't let me hard reset again
have a heart!
so it seems that i am talking to myself here
back to old hard reset fashion way
omg how i hate that
it is me talking alone again
i fond out that this error message also appears on PC's and it is related to DirectX 9, and more exactly DirectShow
do I have DirectShow on my HD and I ersed something?
any way to restore / reinstall that?
and the last one
it seems that also youtube player doesn't work anymore
it gives everytime the message "cannot play this video"
so, to resume:
- Windows Media Player, HTC Album, DivX Player does not play mp4 files (i dont't know about Kinoma because i have the free version)
- Core Player plays mp4 files but bad
HTC Album returns error message "No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
- Youtube Player does not plays files from youtube
- Core Player and Kinoma plays files fom youtube
Youtube Player returns error message "Cannot play this movie"
any ideeas what to do, except the hard reset?
thank you for any ideea!
Hello guys,
Just a survey on which version of TCPMP you guys use for your device. Was trying different different versions and builts to see which one runs best. For starters, I used "TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-SUBTITLES-iriki-repack01.cab" which ran really smooth with SRT subs on a couple of roms (6.1 as well as 6.5) that I've tried. The downside is that I couldn't get it to play flv, and its not accepting the flv plugins I've put in.
Next, I tried the TCPMP 2009 Phenom Edition. Its plays avi with srt subs as well but its not as fast as iriki's repack, even when I use GDI. Frames were skipped and the audio doesn't seem to go along with the video. Again, it didn't play the flv videos I've downloaded from youtube.
I know this doesn't answer your question - but why on earth more people don't simply use Media Player I'll never know - I have used mp4's and the like with Media Player and they have played VERY well. Used TCMP before and not been impressed.

I was going to London over the weekend, and had just downloaded a couple of programmes that I watch on a weekly basis. I download AVI files, and normally bung them on a USB stick and watch them via my PS3. In this case, I simply copied them to the memory card in my HD and watched them on the train. Basically, it meant that I didn't have to convert the files in order to watch them with WM Player.
It plays more formats than WM Player, and is more configurable. It's not a knock to WM Player. It just does more.
Also, in fairness, TCPMP doesn't play WMV files well at all. You get about 1 frame every 3 seconds. I obviously use WM Player for them.
@Abubakar
I've not tried playing FLV files with TCPMP, but for youtube stuff I want to keep, I use www.keepvid.com, and download MP4s. I use v0.61 and don't have any issues with it at all - works a treat.

Ahh.. ALright I'll give v0.61 a try. Thank you for your reply!
hi,
i'm looking for an awesome media (video) player for my phone.
i'm looking for a good video player that can play a lot of different file formats.
avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, wmv, etc.etc.
on my laptop i use VLC, and i really love it.
but i can't find a mobile version of VLC.
anybody has a clue for an awesome videoplayer for my phone?
The latest version of TCPMP plays a whole slew of formats. If you want a media player with alot of functionality, Kinoma Player (shareware) has many different functions. Not sure all the formats it plays.
There's Core Player, a branch of TCPMP that is a pretty smooth video player as well. Finally, DivX has an app for WinMo as well, so you could give that a try.
tcpmp and core player are the best on my opinion
i've looked up tcpmp on the web, and found a page about it on http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-tcpmp-v0-72rc1.html but it doesn't seem to be the right one.
when i instal the cab, the program says on startup "unexpected program error, send crash.txt to the developers......".
so it doesn't run on my pocket pc.
i tought i found the tcpmp website with http://coreplayer.com/ but it costs me 24 bucks.
the free version is very difficult to find.
any ideas?
i found yet another release on this forum.
that one seems to be working a bit....
but the movie quality sucks big time.
the sound is on and off all the time.
the picture is shocking...
it's looks like the phone has to work really hard to let me see half a second each time.
it's like:
the audio........... is not .......... like it's ............. supposed........... to be..............
(and the video is the same).
am i doing sometyhing wrong?
I had to look really hard also for a 6.1 TCPMP. Then on this site there seem to be quite a few different ones. I got mine at http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/1059593835-post107.html it says it is version 4.0.3. But it is open source so people do whatever they want with it. Mine is pretty ugly to look at, but it has always worked (except for the initial crashing - see below). Would like a nicer looking version.
Which one did you download?
This fixed my crashing "If you are having issues with no video or the crashing issue on the HTC HD2 this may help you, You will need to go into the Video settings and change the Direct Draw --> GDI and it should resolve the issue you were having."
i don't remember which one i downloaded... wnloaded about 5 of them from different sites.
i installed all of them (one at a time) to see which one worked best.
the one i've got is worked the best way... but like i said it's shocky... to say the least.
i'll try the one you just send me.
i don't care for looks, i just care for video quality.
i can't believe that a simple viedeoplayer can be so difficult to find on windows mobile.
isn't the whole idea of mobile windows, the idea that you have a mobile version of windows?
and isn't windows also (largely) used for different kinds of media? e.g. video, music etc...
windows media player is the best...

Brenda/Vinnie...I don't know if the version at the link below is the one you're using, but check it out and see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5657963&postcount=1
Brenda, I'll still give you a hand getting prepped for the upgrade if you need, I just haven't had much time today to sit down and work on that
TBH I find it alot easier just converting movies and using the HTC player. The Videora TP2 converter does its job perfectly and I like having the movies in the HTC album. Easy access, smooth playback.

the video player is only pops up when you play a video file on the touch pro2...there isn't an icon, tab, or anything like that...
i can vouch that videora is an outstanding programing for converting video for use on the touch pro2...i have the metal gear solid 1,2 & 3 cut scenes on my device...!!!

looks pretty good... but the thing i'm looking for i versatility (i probably wrote it wrong...).
it has to be able to play avi, mpg, mpeg, wmv, mp4 and a lot more if possible.
is this player able to do that?
looks are not important, performance is!
till thus far, tcpmp isn't good enough (it.... plays..... movies...... like..... this...... ).

How do you play a video file so the HTC play can pop up? Do you click the video file from explorer, RESCO or Total Commander type software? I do not understand.

What movies are you trying to play , I dont think you ripped them right or if you got it from some websites , sometimes the copy isnt good. Dont just blame the media player.

You can access them from the HTC album tab just like your photos. That, or tap them from explorer.
EDIT: Granted they are in the MPEG-4 format you get from, for example, the Videora converter I linked.

i'm not to sure how good the quality of the file is.
all i know is, it's a 700 mb avi file that plays beautifully on my old laptop with VLC running on win xp.
now i'm trying to play that same file on the video player you linked, but the quality is awefull.
the audio stops and starts playing every few seconds, and the video just 1 frame a second (and every now and then, it skips a few frames to catch up with the audio).
i personally just think that nobody bothered to make a descent video player for win mobile. OR (and please forgive me for saying this), the phone simply sucks totally (mostly because it has win mobile on it....).
I use the Energy rom and discovered TCPMP player but i can't get video's playing smoothly, so wondering if someone here can play video's well on their mobile..
Maybe i convert video's in the wrong format but they do play well on the mediaplayer.

We're still waiting for TCPMP to get hardware acceleration, while Windows Media Player has it, that's why your video works in WMP but stutters in TCPMP... As far as I know there isn't a version of TCPMP that supports hardware acceleration but I may be wrong...
you're not wrong
