Hey everyone,
I've tried searching for this in all the forums, but couldn't find a solution, so if it's already been discussed, I apologize, please just direct me to its location.
I'm trying to access my orb media from my AT&T 8525, but have been having some issues. Currently, the only way I am able to stream a playlist or a shuffle of songs is by using the real media player format within the settings in orb from the IE browser. The problem with this is, it doesn't allow for me to jump to the next track, if I didn't want to listen to the current one. So I have tried to use the Windows Media Player format in the settings, and I have ran the test.orb.com, and it plays the test file correctly. But when I try to use that format to stream to my phone, I get the error message "Could not open URL" (if I try to use TCPMP media player), or "Cannot play any items in the playlist." (if I try to use Windows Media Player as the default player). Again, when I run the tests (with either Media Player) using the Windows Media streaming format, the files play perfectly, but they just don't work when I try to listen to a list of music from my media. I've also tried adding the codecs (wma and wmv encoders) as mentioned in another forum, but that didn't help any.
Any and all help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try this version of TCPMP and the attached files need to be copied in the program folder after installation. Lastly go in and click all applicable file associations inside TCPMP (only one i leave unchecked is MP3)after the installation and do a soft reset. Try ORB again and it should work! Works great for me and this was a real problem for awhile. but, just found the solution and can't remember where.
Yessssssssssssssssssssss!
OMG you people are a freakin GODSEND. I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (In a manly sorta way ) But no seriously, I've spent over 4 hours trying to get this to work and it finally did (by doing what was mentioned above)!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank all of you so much for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm donating as soon as I get some money... lol. Thanks again everyone.
Ok so I've moved to the Kaiser (instead of the Hermes), and TCPMP was working fine in the beginning. And now, all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried a soft reset, reassigning the file associations, changing orb's settings to a different media type, and reinstalling TCPMP and the .dll's included above, but I keep getting that same "Could not open URL!" message. This has become extremely frustrating. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please help. If not, is there any other comparable media player that would work with Orb that I could try? Any and all help again is greatly appreciated. Thanks again everyone.
thanks for the props above. but, i dont own a kaiser, so i really couldn't tell you. but, i would of course suggest looking in the kaiser forums and someone there has to have it figured out.

Does anybody know of a way to have media player play files on a remote PC as if they were installed locally?
I have my CD collection on my PC and I'd like to be able to play music from this using my XDAIIs using Wifi.
I've managed to see the files on the PC from the XDAIIs but clicking on them will not play them. However, if I create a shortcut to the file in question, and click on it, the track will play!
Unfortunately, if I create a second shortcut in the same folder to another file on the PC, media player doesn't play it automatically. I have to click on each shortcut that I wish to play.
You can use iTunes to do this, but you have to have WM2003, because I could no longer get it to work when I upgraded to WM5.0. It is called wifitunes, and it is still in alpha testing, but don't let that scare you, because it works well for me. Here is a link:
http://www.aspecto-software.com/WiFiTunes/WiFiTunes.htm
And of course you have to have iTunes installed on your pc (free from apple).
Let me know if this works for you!
I use resco file explorer and simply map the shared drive on my desktop to my SX66. I use TCPMP and can play avi, mpeg, mp3, wav etc on my SX66 over my wifi with no problems.
Thanks,
I tried WiFiTunes but I couldn't get it to work. Putting iTunes on the PC also required me to convert the track from WMA lossless to the Apple format which I wasn't keen to do but thanks for the suggestion.
I've downloaded a trial copy of resco file explorer, it looks like a good product to have irrespective of whether it helped with this particular issue. Used with TCPMP it does exactly what I want.
The only downside is that you have to create playlists because it doesn't organise the content into album, artist and genre lists in the same way that WMP10 does.
As I have nearly 3000 tracks it's going to take me some time to create the playlists but it's something to keep me out of mischief for a while!
Thanks for your help
Hi All.
Just a quick one.
I am tying to play some Video files over my network on my Jasjam with Media Player. The files are on my pc.
It keeps comming up with the error message "system cannot find the file specified file". I can't use tcmp player because it is a windows media codec encoded video.
My network is fine, resco file explorer sees the network no worries but when i click on the file I get the same error message.
Tcmp will play files over the network so i know it works.
I have been looking everywhere but just keep running into brick walls.
Is there a reg edit to fix this problem.
Thanks for your help.
If however i have somehow missed this please please please, no FLAMING

i dont flame aussies .... you need to move back to the JasJam ROM from IMATE... the new one has the built in player....
Hi.
LOL thanks for that.
I just can't go back to the original Imate Rom i love the lvsw one to much.
Is Imates a different version of media player to the one used in LVSW's rom.
Is there a way to get this built in player.
If not surely, there must be another way. I can't be the first person who wants this.
Cheers.
Travis
P.S. Just incase i change my mind is the rom you speek of just the one that can be downloaded from Imates Website.
Hey.
So sorry to be a pain but has anyone got any idea how to fix this little problem.
I really need to be able to run these videos.
Or has someone figured out a way to run windows media content through TCMP.
Thanks again
tried orb? Streams any video fine over wmp.

you speak about playing movies over the network. Did you try to copy a movie to your pda and play it locally. What happens then?

The problem is that files are like over 100meg each and take too long to transfer to the Phone.
That being said I did transfer one and it worked ok. So the problem must lie somewhere else.
MMMMM very frustrating.
I upgraded my phone from 5.x to 6.1 (Kavana Rom) tonight. I'm using the latest version of Kavana's rom, TCMP, the WM5 .dlls, and the wmvplugin stuff. However when I try to open a file from Orb it just warns me that a file with that name already exisist, opens TCMP, and after a few moments tells me that it "could not open URL".
I'm able to see the content at test.orb.com, so I don't know if the issue is with the phone or my installation of Orb. Or if it's a port setting issue, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? And if so how did you resolve it?
Thanks.

Not sure if this is your problem, but I too have never been able to get TCPMP to work with ORB. The only two programs that i got to work with ORB were windows media player and pocket player. Try them and see if you get different results.
BTW: Pocket Player is better than WMP since it has the equializer function
Same Problem Here

I have the exact same problem here, research is now in motion for a fix. I see that you have made the TCPM player the defaul player on your mobile device, but Orb will no longer come in (play) like it did with the other ROM's. I went back to the wmp, now it works fine, but I still want the TCPMP again to be my default player when viewing Orb..........! The PudgeDaddy will come up with a fix, I just know he will..........!
Got The Fix!
Ok, go to Options> Settings> Select Page> File Assiciation> and uncheck (Windows Media Video files (WM,WMV), you have the (wmv and wma codecs already installed in the windows directory). You will also have to uncheck (HTTP protocol), click OK and Orb will now act as the default video player, when viewing Orb media content...............!
One down, one to go
Alright! My problem with being unable to connect was pretty simple. All I had to do was restart Orb and soft reset my device. Now Orb streams like a champ.
However I'm wondering if there's a way to do .mkv files in orb with predefined Audio/Sub options. Right now I'm just muxing out what I don't want, but has anyone been able to tell either their player or their machine to only stream these streams from the container?
Ill be honest. i did get TCPMP to work as well. , but seeing all 3 players that work ( tcpmp, WMP and PocketPlayer) i'd have to say pocket player is the best one of the 3 when it comes to rendering the video with the least amount of video lag/skipping
PocketPlayer!

The PudgeDaddy, my main man, which PocketPlayer version are you talking about here, because Orb and the SlingBox go together like white on rice, like a hand and glove, with Orb, I got all my music and ALL my other media content direct from my home PC anywhere on the planet where I can get a Internet connection. (T-Mobile/Sprint, Get Married)! Those two are a must got to have on ALL my mobile devices, so holla back..............!

Version 3.6
Once Tmobile/AT&T get some new mobiles with faster processors etc with 3G speeds will Orb take the place of Slingbox? I would imagine it would at least bring down the price.
hello everyone, im not new to the forums but this is my first time posting. My problem is that I wish to use TCPMP in order to view streams but cannot due to Streaming Media Player being a default program. Now I have all the correct plugins for TCPMP but no matter what I do everytime I click on a flv link streaming media player pops up. I see no way to uninstall this or get around it and its getting really irritating because the video is always choppy and never connects properly. My question to you all is if there was a way to get rid of this program so that I might actually be able to use TCPMP to stream?. Or maybe even a way to save flv files and launch them from the tcpmp player? (without having to sync with pc, im on the road alot due to work)
HTC Advantage x7501 , original rom
or could I use some kind of registry tool to change or erase it? I would really appreciate any kind of help
Try to set the file associations in TCPMP.
doesn't work tried it a hundred times
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!
