I know...this was posted in the Wizard forum....but I didn't get any responses that worked....
Hi All,
I have a 2GB storage card. I have been playing music just fine for months and then all of a sudden when I try to access the music via the library I get the following error message: An Unexpected Error Has Occurred. I can play the music files when I go through the Explorer program with out a problem.
I searched the forums but all I found was one post that suggested hard reseting. But I'm trying to avoid that since silly me can't recall all the registry tweaks made, how they were made, or even how to get them back. Unfortunatley, job is kicking my a## so hard I don't have time to re-research for a while. Also, the post suggested something being wrong with a files id3 tag. After discovering what that was (end portion of the mp3 file where the data about the audio files is stored like title, artist etc...for those who didn't know) I figure this can't be the problem b/c the music files haven't changed - so they were ok prior too - anyway they play in the Explorer. Also, when I go in WMP, go to menu, and open file, I can play it. Update library works but I still get the same error message when I try to play music. I tried a soft reset - no changes. Tried Google - found quite a few people have had the same problem but no one had a solution.
Thoughts?? Please help got a 2.5 hour flight tomorrow that would be much better with music!!
Thanks!
.....so now only have a 2 hour flight tomorrow....but still want to know!! At this point I will even take another media player that will play my music files. They are from Napster if that makes a difference....aka...I paid for them!
Can't help with the wmp error, but I recommend installing Mortplayer or TCMP as either of these give better sound quality to my ears. Also they will both play music and video files which are on a network share which I can't get wmp to do. They will both resume playing from last position on opening the program. Either one is an improvement on wmp.
Hard Reset Didn't Work
Ok...Hard Reset didn't work and Mortplayer won't play any albums - just the few songs I have in which I only have one for the artist!!
HHEEEELLLPPPP!!!!!
Hello,
I purchased a NAS recently and have set about storing all my data. Also included in the upgrade were a new N router and N card for the laptop. The N stuff runs at 270Mbps which means I can now stream DVD/HD content onto my laptop (and a HD tele when I get one!). Anyways, I also convert DVDs to WMVs for my PDA, sad I know but I do it and use it.
So eventually I thought about about this; can I install a DVD player on my pda so I can stream it over my wifi network. I've looked all over the web and found nothing. Is there anyone out there with the same idea or least got a name of some DVD software for my PDA?
Cheers in advance...
Oh by the way, so far I must have at least 20-30 apps on my PDA and each one of them has been free, I would very much like to keep this record spotless!

windows media encoder can help you with the actual streaming, try it (should be free of charge).
now you need to think of something that will help encode your dvd into the media encoder, live of course.
will be happy to hear about the final solution you've found.
good luck...!
I cannot believe I got response so quickly! Only joined up recently but been reading this forum for a long time. I'll check out your suggestion shlomki and thanks for your quick response.
Ill post my findings, or further questions!
If Windows Media Encoder doesnt work, try VLC. www.videolan.org
Ok, so downloaded media player encoder, very confused but ran checkup utility and I do not have an appropriate dvd player on my laptop. My intervideo one started playing up so had to remove it. Now using AVSDVDPlayer. Moved on to VLC media player, thanks vlodeck for suggestion. Firslty the playback is much better than the AVSDVDPlayer, I struggled to broadcast a stream but I think I could sort it over time. I'll push on with that.
Still, I'm not quite sure these are the routes I want to take. I upgraded my PDA to wm6 recently and found I could no longer play my wmv's in TCPMP. After scouring through this forum I found all I needed to do was download these two DLL's and drop them into my windows folder on the PDA. Something to do with renaming codecs in wm6. I was hoping I could do this again, say download DVD codecs and drop them in the windows dir, then hoping to go to "open" and then be able to select a VOB file from either TCPMP or windowsmediaplayer.
The VLC method seems like I need to interact or at least save files that I wish to broadcast when really, I would just like to access VOB files on my NAS via the PDA with a vob player.
Any help and suggestions are more than welcome, either with what has been suggested already or new ones!
Cheers.
got the vlc player to broadcast so I can view the strem on my pc on wmp. the next problem i encounterd was on my ppc. used the same url on ppc wmp as pc one and no joy
anyone had this part working??
cheers
I've searched for the answer to this but have not come up with the solution to this problem, just others relating to skipping tracks after a few seconds playing...
Here's my problem...
Some tracks that have been previously recognised and played by Pocket Media Player aren't playing anymore.
In the playlist, they show up with red letters like as if they have been deleted off the memory card, BUT THEY'RE STILL THERE.
Mysteriously, these tracks will playback fine if I go into File Explorer and select them from there.
I started to think that the path information in Pocket Media Player had become corrupted, so I deleted the whole database of my tracks and let the application find them again.
IT STILL DOESN'T PLAY SOME OF MY TRACKS!
Can anyone tell me WTF is going on?
Please don't tell me to use another media player unless this problem can't be fixed.
Thanks in advance.
A bit more background information may help...
I'm using the Vodafone WM6.1 on a Kaiser
There are no other programs running in the background.
Is this a file path problem?
Is there a limit to the number of characters in a path and maybe the files that don't play are the ones where this limit is exceeded?
Help!
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
Just got my Pro yesterday and generally loving it - with one major problem though.... I can't seem to add music to the device.
If I dump them straight on the memory card then TF3D music tab says "No Music Found", if I sync them over WMP11 to the device then it shows them - but no album art and their durations are all zero seconds. WMP won't play them either. They're just in MP3 format and play fine everywhere else.
Help?
In the TF3d music tab, click on the Library softkey. You should be able to find them in there (under artists, albums, etc). Once you select a song, it will then load into the TF3d music tab. Hope that helps.
Thanks, I can get them to show there but without album art and the duration is zero seconds... WMP Mobile shows an error "access denied" when i try to play them there, if that helps.
I have no problem accessing my mp3s, but I did not use WMP11 to sync them.
I just copied mp3s right onto my microSD card, separated into folders by album (eg: \Music\artist1\album1\song.mp3), with a folder.jpg image for the album art. TF3d/Library recognized the files and the album art with no problem.
Hmmn, tried that, still the same thing. Just hard reset the device and still a no-go. This is beginning to really bug me very badly (like sending the device back kinda bad).
Double post to update:
So, I find that I can add WMA files without a problem. So at least I have a viable work-around for the problem. This doesn't actually help me sort out what the problem regarding mp3s actually is.
I thought it may be something to do with the File Associations, that I broke them somehow by installed Coreplayer, but I'm less sure now that a Hard Reset didn't solve the problem. It still could be, I see others have had similar problems relating to the registry (although their problems always came after installation of a different media player, rather than on the devices stock ROM). Does anyone know where the pertinent registry values are, and what they should be? Or perhaps others have some different solutions?

Have you tried soft resetting and deleting the file
\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol
before switching to the TouchFlo Music tab?
Found I've had to rebuild my library in this way each time new mp3s have been added.
(I assume the mp3 aren't DRM protected - copied a number over myself by mistake which caused a similar problem.)
Probably a silly question,
When i synced my phone with Windows media player 11, all the tracks went across but not the artwork. Having looked in the folders on my pc, i see that the folder has an image, but there is no image file to transfer to the TPro. How do i get the artwork across and does this have to be a manual process.
If the album art is in the folder and named folder.jpg it automatically picks them up ardsar.
Thanks for that Lazy Slug, I'll give it a go.

Fancy seeing you here, and sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread, it's a great forum eh!
im using vista with wmp v. 11 and wmp cannot see my touchpro even if it is connected (via bluetooth). i've got no problems syncing mails, calendars, etc. i just cant seem to sync audio files using wmp.
thanks.
Well, my problem is sorted (kinda). I backed up my mp3's to a different external hardrive, something has happened in that process that means they only work on my PC - my PS3 can no longer stream them, my N82 can't play them, my Touch Pro can't either. I'm still trying to work out how to fix them (although when I have time I'll dig up my old drive and see whether they work from there). So good news: nothing wrong with my PS3, N82, Touch Pro.
Regarding your issue dido-11 - have you set up the Touch Pro to sync in WMP11? Instructions are in the manual for how to, if you haven't already tried.
NZtechfreak: indeed, it's in the manual. sorry, quite excited to use it right away without looking at the manual.
fhsieh: thanks, ill try that method as well.

Did you try to reencode one mp3 in standard 128 (not VBR) and see if is played?
They're all constant bitrate, they work when converted to WMA. I don't think its a problem with encoding though, since they worked fine with everything previously.

I am syncing my music with Windows Media Player 11 - it syncs over fine and the image art is there when playing the music in the windows media player on the fuze, but not present in the cover flow app. Where are these images stored? There are no jpgs in the directories where the MP3s are.
Hi there, on my HTC P3300 and my wifws Asus P320 we have used Coreplayer to watch youtube videos with good quality.
The last few days we get 'unknown file format' trying to open flv streams from yutube.. I have tried different settings but can't get it working again.
If I select RTSP, it works fine, but the video quality is no good.
Anybody knows what is wrong?
same here. and the tcpmp flash plugin isn't working either. which leads me to suspect that youtube may have changed their codec slightly? i dunno!
From the coreplayer forums:
"We are aware of this issue and are working on a fix to repair it,
Youtube changed the way it plays flv files and we will release
a version fix as soon as possible. "
Answer:
YT function on CP sucks!
I have only ever wanted to access youtube on my phone 2 or 3 times, usually when an upcoming film is mentioned in conversation and I want to have a look at the trailer. As coreplayer is software which is already on my phone, and it works ideally for this sort of usage, I for one hope that it is working again soon.
