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.
I tried putting a small video clip on my memory card. When I open it it plays like it's in slow motion, and it's really choppy. The audio for the clip plays in normal speed.
so a few questions...
Is there a best format of video files for my excalibur?
Is there mabey a player better than windows media player?
I hacked my psp a few years back. I was able to download full movies and watch them on it. I may be asking too much... but I'm wondering if it's possible to do this with my phone.
when I'm at work with my phone in my hand the ol' boss doesn't mind. Of course when I'm hanging on to a game system.... the **** hit's the fan!
Here you are a free bit of software that can recode videos http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html download link @ bottom there is lot's of speal...
I use A-One FLV to AVI but it's not free, there is alot of software that can do it.
I recomended SUPER as i know lots of peeps use it, so set the resolution 320x240 keep bitrate down on video larger it is larger output file, audio can be set to mono and again about 64kbit/s and still be fine, .mp4 is a good quality for Mobile video or for even more compression .3gp
Re: Player TCPMP "to which is free" or CorePlayer "the pay version"
I've tried downloading TCPMP. When I try installing it I get a message that the install package isn't designed for my device.
this is where I'm downloading it from.
http://tcpmp.en.softonic.com/pocketpc/download#pathbar
Is there a different version that I need to use?

All you have to do is enable all file formats on your options
Related question... How do I watch the phone-recorded videos on my PC after I pull them over via ActiveSync? I tried converting them with Handbreak but they are not recognized as a compatible format.

Try VLC Media Player you will want codecs CCCP is XP & Vista compatable "if you have any other codec packs installed then do not install"
well i actually wanted to start a mobile movie thread
like..i will be encodeing movies for mobiles..which will play without a hitch...and patches...
and uploading them on rapidshare or megaupload..
sooo what say??
what happens if you run out of battery in the middle of a movie, can you fastforward it afterwards and in an "easy" way? If it's possible, it depends on the video format, video player or both?
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
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....).
