[HACK] How to launch videos from HTC Album to play with your preferred program - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

WARNING: Reported to be not compatible with Album 3.2.
I had video playback problems with HTC Album 3 full screen player. It is supposed to use HW acceleration but for me it plays very choppy. I made the attached dll which enables lauching the video with the system default viewer (which I changed to TCPMP for mp4 and 3gp files). Just overwrite FSPlayer.dll with my version attached and use total commander to change the default "open with" for mp4 and 3gp files (don't select HTC Album again, it will cause a recursive infinite loop).
Enjoy

Hey, I use Album 3.0 as well, and mine won't play videos at all. But thanks to your fix it now opens up WMP if I need to play one. Thanks for the file!

It seems not working for album 3.2, wont open up anything after clicking video.

can anyone upload the default fsplayer.dll file?
i used this one and now i cant open videos from my htc album.
when i tryo to click it nothing happens
thanks

Play youtube video (FLV) with TCPMP

Here is a plugin for playing FLV under TCPMP (0.8, 0.7)
Backup your own ffmpeg.plg before overwriting.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpflvplugin/
There is YouTubedownload.exe tool running on WM6. WM5 to download FLV.

Thanks for the info...
Do you know if can be used with CorePlayer too?
Regards.
Seems not, because CorePlayer can not get the external plugin as the way TCPMP does...
I dont have CorePlayer, so didn't try personally.
Nice one... works with my version of betaplayer 0.81rc1 only if i select video output to "ati imageon"
cool

How did you get it to work? I installed the 2 files in my TCPMP directory and selected Flash Video under settings. When i open You tube under IE and click on a file, TCMP does not open.
Awesome!
To celebrate this incredible find.....

Never mind. I figured it out. You have to use the exe file to download the "you tube file" first.
sorry I've already got a collection of youtube video's

That's what you should be using normally anyway! Thanks to Stealth I've been using the ATI Imageon chip for a while now for every format I play! It definitely makes my battery last much longer.
how do you get it to work. i put the two files in the tcpmp directory and then put youtubedownloader in another. where do you get the file id from?
i put the link of the file into the youtubedownload.exe and it says invalid link. not sure what i am doing wrong
anybody help please?

In order to use the program “YouTubedownload.exe” it is not necessary to put the Link, but the digits of identification of the video.
For example: of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utsHE5xWges the digits are utsHE5xWges
Later uses in TCPMP the video output ATI IMAGEON

I did go to tools then press add ons
then press get themes and select and install videodownloader.. its free

With YouTubedownload.exe you directly unload the video to the PPC, and with plugins you can see archivo*.flv in TCPMP.
You do not need the PC, nor to turn the file *.flv to another format.
There it is the difference… GREETINGS
on mediacoder i use the device --> plugins --> digital media player
the output video works great with hermes windows media player...
cheers
how about just playing youtube
perhaps the rom I'm using doesn't do it but how about just playing a youtube vid when browsing youtube, does this work for anyone? been fooling with IE and Opera

Hey,
Im sorry if this is a really stupid question!

I always use browse internet explorer to do this then select the youtube link on the site..
If theres any way of changing the program that gets opened could you please tell me!
Im using the standard Kavana’s 6.1 ROM.

AVS elementry stream (H264)
Macromedia flash (FLV)
Matroska files (MKV,MKA)
Mpeg Movie files (Mpeg,MPG,MPV)

That should do it lol
You will need to use mobile YouTube page
It also has a built in youtube viewer press view a couple of times
I left out the audio associations for Pocket Player to handle the best Audio Player avaiable.
I prefer using Kinoma Free Flay, you can get it from my link to smartphone programs below...

Album doesn't play mp4 files - Help requested

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!

Some basic questions

Hi - I am new to Android and am struggling with some fairly basic concepts:
1. Unloading images, and video: I have Win7 and using the built in Windows image importer - it tries to unload all other images - not just camera. So I get lots of bookmark thumbnails etc; etc; I have also tried doubleTwist but that seemed overly complicated?
2. Sharing recorded video with others: The Desire seems to record to a format that no one can play. Well the video does but the sound does not. I have read that there is no way round this and you can only play it on your phone!!?? Surely thats not right? I just want to email friends some videos - surely thats not tricky!?
3. Multiple calendar reminders: When I get a reminder I get the option to Snooze All or Dismiss All - but I cant seem to dismiss just one reminder. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help

1. The beauty of using a non-Apple smartphone is that you don't have to use a special application to manage your files. Just connect your device to your PC as a disk drive. Browse to it with your file explorer and just drag&drop.
2. Not sure what you mean here. Windows Media Player on Windows can play the videos recorded with the Desire. And Quicktime on OSX can as well.
3. Yeah, there's no way around this one. Bummer...
In terms of photos, why don't you just drag and drop...you don't really need to use an importing tool. That seems overly complicated for what you want.
On the video side of things, you have two formats to choose from. 3gp and Mp4. When you're shooting video there's a tab on the left. Pull it out and at the bottom is the settings. You can then choose "Encoding type" and switch. I believe you'll get the best compatibility with Mp4.
The reminders thing? I have no clue.
1. Issue with sync - OK I will drag and drop. The importer utility is normally quite handy as it only unloads images that havent already been unloaded etc; etc;

I have the choice out of H.263 and MPEG4. Both options output a .3gp file (I presumed that MPEG4 should output a .MP4). Both .3gp give the following message in VLC player "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "samr". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." Media player doesnt give me a message it just doesnt give audio. Google this tells me that there is no easy way to solve this. So how come it works for you?
3. "...Yeah, there's no way around this one. Bummer..." Bummer indeed
Oh well - thanks for your answers guys but I would really love to try and sort this video issue. Incidentally its the same with sound recordings - they use the same samr codec which basically cant be used
Ah, well it seems both RealPlayer and Quicktime can play back the videos encoded with the mp4 or H.263 format.
EDIT - And also Windows Media player. I have read that VLC can't play them due to licensing issues for the AMR sound format.
download and install the k-lite codec pack it will include the classic player which is more than capable of playing these videos. I did have an issue with my vids i was recording when i was making a recording that lasted longer than 10 minutes, it was almost as if the card was too full record properly however the recorder still carried on going, this can be recognised when you press stop on the video recording and it goes straight back to the desktop instead of the camera. when this occurs nothing will play the file as it is corrupt. it must have been a third party program i had installed as when i defaulted the device the problem stopped and it would record as normal.

Simply rename the extention to mp4, no conversion needed.

Then your problem may be with the drm not the extension...
Another thought, if you have them on your tab already, use total commander and add ".mp4" at the end of the file so it then read my_film_title.m4v.mp4 ugly but might work?
Or in ES File Explorer you can long press any file and tell it to be opened as a Video.
Edit: but if they're DRM locked...

Lol, its because you're using the crappy default player. Install Mxplayer then install the ARMv7 NEON codec and then not only will you have a MUCH better player, but automatic support for practically any format, and also gain back AC3 and DTS support which Samsung decided not to include!
