For some reason I am unable to upgrade to WM5, maybe it's because it's a new phone and the upgrade only works on later models.
Have tried using the programs found on the Wiki site but with no joy.
Am still having problems with playing media files (mainly video) with the Windows Media 10 (lots of people seem to have the version 9), is there a better media player I can download?
Media player
Try TCPMP from here: http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/
It works well for me. You may also want to convert your files to a smaller size with the right res (320x240) and for that I use Pocket Divx Encoder available here: http://divx.ppccool.com/
thanks stoo, unfortunatley the first link doesn't seem to work, even from a direct google search, maybe the site is down.
Tried the Pocket Divx Encoder but the encoded file still is'nt recognized by the WMplayer, any ideas?
Anyone else notice that video files encoded using wma for audio and wmv for videos no longer work with TCPMP 0.71 under WM6?
They will work with the mediaplayer 10 app included with wm6 but not TCPMP.
I don't use the mediaplayer 10 app for the simple reason that it's crap so this is a little bit of an issue for me...
I had that problem, look here:

PUG we're thinking on the same wavelength mate!
Thanks for that - I just borrowed my colleagues wm5 device to see if I could locate these DLLs in the windows folder.
Thanks for this mate!
Bless!
How about Core Player?
0.71 or 0.72?
Try 0.81 and let us know.
The fix above works for CorePlayer too.
Hi,
I use Orb a lot to watch live TV on my Dash and it has worked great with wm5 but after the upgrade to the "official" wm6 now the video (live TV and other videos) shows rotated 90 degrees (to the left). This only happens with Orb.
Does anybody has this issue? I checked the registry for an option to rotate the screen but I couldn't find it.
Hi,
have you tried this tool to rotate the screen ?
Don't know if it works, but on the VOX you can turn the screen 90° - 180° - 270° ...

Need Registry Hack To Make (TCPMP) The Default Player!
Need registry hack to make TCPMP the default player. Tired of the twist and turns of windows media player 11.............!
I did that, but for some reason is not working with tcpmp.

I tried that on my Dash and it doesn't work (doesn't rotate the screen). It's weird Orb used to work fine with wm5 (wmp).
Hi,
what version of wm6 do you have installed?
maybe you have wm6 professional? (e.g. "pocket pc", hermes, ... version)?
I have the leaked "official" version for T-Mobile Dash (Smartphone):
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1)
Radio: 4.1.13.34_02.79.90
RIL:2.002
well,
does the tool work at all or does it not help you rotate when you watch a film in fullscreen mode.
Im asking because i could imagine that media player is setting the rotation angle back.
what happens when you start the tool?
It is not just an Orb issue - it is a Media Player issue.
I just tried surfing over to the WindowsMedia Mobile site. they have a link there for SmartVideo to watch live TV. I tried the demo stream, and switching to full screen rotates the picture 90 degrees, and fills the width of the screen.
Presumably there is a bad or missing registry setting that controls whether it does this or not based on whether the device has a portrait or landscape screen.

The tool doesn't work with wm6. It does nothing when you execute it.

Yes, I'm having the rotated fullscreen issue with windows media player mobile after I installed Windows Mobile 6. I've seen other people elsewhere mention the same issue.
Someone HF was able to fix TCPMP to work with Orb and other streaming sites just copying 2 library files (wmadecoder.dll and wmvdecoder.dll) to the phone's \windows directory.
I tried it with Orb and Windows Media Mobile site and it works fine, but it doesn't solve the wmp issue.
You can use TCPMP until MS/T-Mobile fix wmp.

Thank you Sportech @ HF for posting those files.
getwsted at HF found a solution for the screen rotation issue:
Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.
"LandscapeMode"=0
It solved my problem with Orb and other Videos with WMP in full screen mode.
Is there a way to stop WMP going out of full screen mode everytime the buffer becomes exhausted and playback pauses? Thats much more annoying than the screen being 180 degrees out!

omg thanks ive been waiting for this fix!!
After buying a W100 Wired Remote, I found that it only works with Windows Media Player (which in my personal and humil opinion sucks!). Unless you 'lock' all buttons, any press you make will open WMP (even if you're already running any other player),.... and if you lock them, well, you won't even be able to answer a call... and of course, if you're ok with no buttons... what did you want this adapter for????
I asked HTC for support, and how to configure it with other players, etc.. and this is the answer (after asking three times and two weeks after my last 'request')...
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
The "HTC Touch W100 Wired Remote" it's an accessory obviously made by HTC, having mind to serve our products.
Now, our mobile phones are supplied with windows mobile manufactured software and the only media program supplied with it it's the well known "Windows Media Player" in mobile format.
We don't supply other media software on our products and so we don't manufacture accessories for other 3rd party software manufactures.
Should you have any other query, please do not hesitate to call us. Your local number can be found at: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Kind Regards,

I don't think that's a reasonable answer so beware if you're thinking of getting one of these!
Prof.
P.S. Oh, I forgot to say, if you install HTC AudioManager, it will control AudioManager (and open AM, and everything instead of WMP). It's just that AudioManager has the same drawbacks as WMP, with 'pseudo-intelligent' media lists, etc.... AND THEY DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT IN THEIR ANSWER!!!!
The W100 Wired Remote also works with the FM Radio !!
Any solution?
I use Conduits Pocket Player v3.2 and it has plugin Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter 2.0
This plugin enables Pocket Player to 'host' plugins that are originally designed for Windows Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile. Many plugins simply control playback, such as the Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP plugin on WM5 devices. Other times, more features and controls are utilized, such as the plugin for Microsoft Voice Command.
Sound good but not working... maybe next version...
Too Late
I allready got one...
You R Right!
It Sucks!!!!!!!
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
If anyone's sick of it and want to get rid of it, let me know. I think it might be possible to map in wider support and customisation of the functions if I can see how it works.

Hi, i have HTC P3300 PDAViet BB v4.0 and recently buy from expansys W100 Wired Remote.
Automatically works in this rom with Audiomanager without install any specific driver, works perfectly, play button launch audiomanager, all butons are ok, holding next/prev you scan song, single click go to next or prev, if launch radio, buttons only work on radio, if anyone calling me when listen music (mp3) volume fade off and listen ring tone, button mute works ok.
repeat, i dont need install driver in this rom, works directly.

HI I don't have the w100 but I'm interested to buy a 3.5mm adapter so.. do have you try the Htc audio manager (the installable .cab) with the registry patch on this link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318459
with the registry patched the Htc audio manager is my default mp3 player.
Yeah I was pretty pissed too. Was eager to try w100+ Conduits Pocket Player and it doesn't work - who uses windows media player anyway? The only hope is some kind of patch from conduits :\
Wish I'd found this topic before I bought one of these. Didn't realize you couldn't use the buttons with CorePlayer, Conduits PocketPlayer, or Resco Radio. If you don't clip that controller onto your collar or something, it eventually weighs on the headphones and pulls them out of your ears. Once clipped on, you really look like a dork
Seemed like a good idea, just not well implemented. As-is, it's a waste of money...
Guys heads up!!! Things have MOVED forwards!!
I just tried Pocket Player 4.0. I think it's the most recent version. All the buttons are working without any problem. So, in the end, there is a cool player supporting the hot 7-buttons handsfree ;-) And it's working on a HTC Diamond. So, I guess, we can mark this topic as *SOLVED* ;-)
So - have fun !!! AND BUY THE HANDSFREE!!! It is COOOOOL !!!

Hi Im trying the pocket player 4 but my w100 dont work (still open WMP) how do you make it work? do you install any plug in?
Hi, I'm also keen to find out a little about the ROM and software you're running... My TyTn II (with Pocket Player 4) insists on controlling HTC Audio Manager.
So - firstly, what is on the ROM in terms of music players? WMP obviously, but do you have HTC Audio Manager installed as well? And did you tweak any settings in PP4 or did it just work out of the box?
I'm liking the W100 but not with HTC/Microsoft media players... any advice appreciated!
Any news?
Are you still using your w100?
this is an old thread but still not soved.
Mine was working fine at least with HTC Audio manager with my Fuze, with sevaral different roms as long as I didn´t use second today or something like that, wich will deactivate HTC audio manager and works only with WMP.
Now i have a CDMA/GSM Rhodium from Verizon with the newest Energy ROM wich is great by the was. But I can not make it work with my w100, it is only controling WMP.
Any news???
Don't know why, but any video I record on my P3600 I cant see on my Mac!
I tried HTC Camera App, and CoolCamera software, both same error!
Anyone?
Thanks!
What about new or different codecs for your MAC?I know nothing about Apple but maybe this is a choice.
just rename the files to 3gp and all will work fine
i have a mac and this works for me
