im sorry if im not posting in the correct forum for this but i am extremely frustrated. i would very much like to watch videos on my wing. however i cannot find a solution on how to get the damned things on the device. i have searched the internet and looked at the htc website all to no avail. if anyone can help me that would be awesome.
thanks to all who contribute
look for TCPMP on www.google.com
ok, i downloaded the cab file for my wing. i dled the one that says for pocketpc. is this correct? also i downloaded battery status but im unsure on how to use this. if you could help it would be greatly appreciated.
the only other question is how do i get the media oon my wing? ive tried syncing it with wmp and that fails. i tried drag and drop onto the micro sd card and that also does not work. what am i doing wrong?
anyone that can answer these questions please! it would be a great help
media is a broad term maybe you should state what files you are trying to get to it
never synced with wmp myself but have many many many of my cd's on my 2GB microSD card and it works just fine
both as mp3 and wma
also have ogg, mpg, avi(divx) and such on it
i am trying to get avi's mp4's.... basically any type of movie file on my wing and never can do it. always get an error.
dezos112: what player are you using? what error do you get?
i dled the player you suggested. the player is fine. the problem is getting the movies on my card. nothing seems to work.
what do you mean by "the problem is getting the movies on my card. nothing seems to work."
Explain more clearly please.
i mean getting the movies files from my computer onto my 2gb micro sd card.
so freaking frustrating! sorry for *****ing but this is the only thing that annoys me about this phone
if i need to be anymore specific let me know.
using total commander and marking the mp4 files and clicking copy would prob do the trick
What exactly are you using for copying the files over to the phone? If you're doing it over the standard ActiveSync USB sync, it's going to take ages and you may be pulling the phone out of its cradle before the file is fully done copying. If you don't have one already, I'd highly reccomend getting a USB 2.0 MiniSD card reader to speed up the transfer of movies and music.
ok... ive solved the issue on how to get the movie files on my phone. now i try to open them with the program, the first time i tried it worked like a charm. now when i open a movie file it crashes to the today screen. do i need a different media player?????
by the way. i opened the movie file with tcpmp. thats the program that crashes to the today screen. is there any other media player i should use?

P.S and good game you recomend?
thanx in advance, oo and i did read lots of posts but none helped me
Don't crosspost. You posted the same question on three boards.
I'm getting very frustrated trying to find a good combo of player and format to play videos (films etc) on my Exec. I think I have settled with TCPMP with AVIs however....
On my home WIFI I can connect my Exec to a shared drive and play a film, good.... but.... if I copy the film to my SD card (I've tried async, mounted the Exec as a HDD, used a external card reader) when I go to play it I always get 'Unknown file format'. If I go back to the network copy it plays fine.... Tried with a number of films, always the same. So I can watch films at home on my exec (I'd rather use my projector and sit in a comfy chair), but I cant watch them when I'm on the train, which was the whole point of the exercise.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, or if this has been discussed some place else, to be honest I cant think of a search phase that would describe this problem (and yes I have tried for an hour). So I apologies for posting here. But anyone got any good ideas.
BTW, I'm using WM6 by JWrightmcps ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE, Extended Rom: (2.03.07 WWE), Radio Rom: (1.15.00), TCPMP
PS: This ROM is absolutely the badger &*(&(, a great piece of work and apart from some teething problem due to my ignorance works an absolute treat. Txs
Before you ask, its a 4G SD card which seems to work fine on the EXEC for everything else....
Much perplex.... trog
Not tried streaming my files to my PDA, it's a trinity btw, but i have several DVDs i have converted to wmv format and they work just fine when copied to mini-SD card. Got Shrek on it at the moment.
I use imToo DVD Convertor to rip the DVD movie to a single wmv. Wonderful way to tie up the PC, but the results are fine.
what are you using to convert the videos?
I have done it manually with various apps (eg Pocket DivX Encoder) and they played fine on my Blue Angel using TCPMP
corrupt 4G SD
OK, found what my problem was.
Although the 4G HCSD looked to be working fine, actually it was corrupting files, I found some deep files (many directories down with wierd names and huge (1.5T and bigger). Looks like the HC drivers on my PC and Exec were not working. Tried to reformat on PC but still same problem, uploaded the HotFixes for 4G and greater on PC (XP) and reformatted which then trashed the SD card. It will no longer read in either Exec or PC (PC says its a RAW device and fails when trying to reformat it now).
Anyway, 2G SD work fine and can watch films on them instead. Now have a bricked 4G HC SD (it was a learning exercise ;-}
I want to put some ripped CDs onto my Fuze and have them show in the Touchflo interface BUT when I put it on my SD card, it doesn't show. Is there a good media managing program, or some trick to doing this?
EDIT: Screw my earlier question. I just realized that the Fuze is recognizing and playing my Zune Pass subscription music. Unlimited music. Sweet.
I think it has to go into a folder called My Music, which is within another folder called My Documents, before it will be seen properly, that is where mine is and it works great.
Right... But here's where the problem lies...
I'm talking about the SD card. Those folders don't exist. Do I just make them?
Hey Johndango, i am very interested in getting my Zune Pass working on my Fuze also. Could you tell me which rom you are running on your phone, and if you did anything special in order to make it work.
Hey,
I used the search function and did not find what I searched for so I hope I did not oversee something
I recorded some videos with my phone (HTC hero with the standart camera) and as I wanted to copy the files to my pc I could not find them. There is the option to share via gmail or bluetooth but the files are to big for gmail and my pc does not have bluetooth so how can I transfer these video files to my pc?
Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance
Nobody can help?
What about moving stuff to SD card and pulling card / using USB adapter to plug in PC? Plus it all depends on what format device records video in that will determine if you can play on PC.
good day.
I can´t find it on my phone. I used Root Explorer to look for the videos but I dunno where they are saved, do you know what folder I have to look for?
Thx for the advice btw
Sorry winmo user. But after some searching the videos should be in the same folder as your pictures.
good day.
I guess I found the solution here:

Just posting it, in case anyone else has the problem. Thanks, seems your advise solved it.
Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to simply open a Windows shared folder (SMB) and open an AVI file for playback on my Android phone (HTC EVO). I've read a bunch of tutorials on the web, and almost all of them involve setting up streaming software with something like VLC. I'm not going to be streaming over the Internet, just WiFi.
On two Windows PCs, I just normally go to Run -> \\MYSERVER\D$\Videos\ and then double click an AVI and bam... it's playing back. Can't I have the same ease on my phone? I don't want to do any transcoding or anything. Logic tells me that if two Windows PCs can do this, then a PC and Android phone can too.
I already have ASTRO file manager with the SMB plug-in. If I should go about this a different way, let me know.
Thanks!
Download a program from the market called blam blam bloom, it does exactly what you are looking for, I accept paypal donations as thanks for this valuable information.

+1 use cifs manager and cifs.ko module that support for your device
Where can I get cifs.ko that works with kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50?
This isn't exactly the most SIMPLE solution, but Subsonic is absolutely phenomenal, and you can stream pretty much anything, with any settings you want, from your PC to your Android...anywhere.

ooops, i just came to pc and saw this thread now after i made a one asking the same thing... my bad...
i tried cifsmanager, it does exactly what i wanted, but it's really slow ... a normal xvid video pauses every other second, same video reads fine from sdcard...
and i can't get rockplayer to read those folders either cause it's reading only from sdcard mount ... can we go back a directory level in rockplayer?
You can try Gmote, but if you have a samsung phone, get AllShare

It's not that cifsmanager is slow, it just that some videos are too large to be 'streamed' to your phone without any sort of further compression. You're really just maxing out the bandwidth of the wifi I believe. I've been using cifsmanager for months and this my experience and opinion.
And if you can't get rockplayer to work with cifsmanager you're doing something wrong lol. I mount my shafe in cifsmanager, then click on the share again to launch Astro to take me directly to the shared folder. Then I just pick my file and tell it what video player to launch (stock, rock player, or vplayer). You can also change the path of cifsmanager to mount the share on your SD card.
Still looking for cifs.ko for kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50? Can someone help? HTC EVO 4G.
ah deathsled lol i mounted it to a folder in sdcard now, hadn't really notice we could do it.
dunno about the videos being too large, cause the same videos, using mplayer in my wii, i can play them flawlessly without buffering, just by opening them from my computer folders through mplayer's smb connection, which i believe is same thing that cifsmanager does, and the wii only has wifi 54mbps too... so something is definitely really slow in either android or my dell streak
Astro with the SMB plugin works just fine for me...
ASTRO with SMB didn't work when launching other video players. I could browse and do file operations, but since it didn't mount the folder, other programs couldn't access the files.
However, I ended up moving to KiNgxKernel, which has CIFS build-in. I couldn't find a good, easy guide to compile my own CIFS.KO, and couldn't find one already made for my previous kernel version.
