mp4 files on htc touch pro - General Topics

everyone,
i am trying to play an mp4 film on my htc touch pro,... have good sound but no picture,...
maybe a 'codec' issue, but any ideas on how do i resolve this,...?
thanks,
ek

I dont think that Windows Media player that comes with WM6.1 supports it.
Your best bet is to get a media player, something like CorePlayer (not free) or TCPMP (free).

thanks st, but which version of tcpmp do you recommend,...? i just installed v.72rc and it gave me an error message,... what do you think about v.71,...?

Please make sure you always try to read my past articles. I've devoted a HUGE article to playing back H.264 (including ASP) files. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352204

Yea .... what the man said
I use CorePlayer and it works very well without the need to install anything else.

would love to read how to solve these issues, and do not want to take up space on the forum, but please don't preach to me about posts that are not easy to find,...
will follow your lead,
thanks,

Read through everything on this site, very detailed by the way and thank you, but there is no information about why TCPMP won't run on the Touch Pro which I believe is what the issue was in the first place.
Seems to be a common issue without resolution. I wonder if someone as knowledgable as yourself could suggest a fix, or another freeware program that would do something similar. Seems from your article though that there are no better programs except CorePlayer which is basically TCPMP v.80 instead of v.72 right? So a fix would be helpful.
Most TCPMP links seem to be broken, but I have found a couple that are still legit. The reason the program is crashing is because we've downloaded a faulty program. My old .cab file of v.72 works just fine with my Touch Pro.

Coreplayer 1.1.1 - demo?

I've been scouring the net trying to find a downloadable demo/eval copy of the latest version of Coreplayer... but can't find it ANYWHERE!
Does a demo even exisit, or do we just have to just buy it and hope for the best?
why dont you just use TCPMP it's their free version
In my opinion it's not really worth buying becouse it seems that they only update it like once a year. Only adding few features fixes that should have been there in the first place.
I understand that they have a gazillion projects and ports but... It doesn't fix the product.

There is no need for buying the Coreplayer.
Take the The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) instead.

It depends if your rom comes with the decoder-files. You can add them manually.
I never had to download any extra bits before :S
I thought it played them out of the box?

It seems to rely on the built-in files rather than installing them again. I lost wmv-playback as i upgraded my wizard to a raw wm6-rom.
stupid question, but where do i get the decoder files from? I cant see anything relating to them on the Coreplayer site/forums :S
microsoft decided to remane the wma and wmv decoder dll in wm6
you could either duplicate your existing wmv and wma dll's and remane or take them from a wm5 file or search the forum ,')
ok i searched the forum..... cant find what the filename is, a little help please?
coreplayer wmv wm6 dll google

Which TCPMP/Player works best with the Omnia i900. As you already know, I have two TCPMP/Players in the above link thread, the TCPMP 0.72RCI-ARM-PPC-recomp-03-cab.zip, this is the one that I believe works best with the Omnia i900. Install this player and the FlashVideoBundle.cab both to the main memory or both to your SD Card, soft reset your device. If that does not work, then try the TCPMP/Player version 0.81RC1 and the FlashVideoBundle.cab install both to the main memory or both to your SD Card, soft reset your device. We will get it to work.
I don't have my Omnia yet, because I don't know which carrier will be carrying it here in the USA. I'm hearing a lot of crazy stuff, like AT&T and Apple are about to go to war, if Mr. Sam Man Omnia i900 comes to AT&T USA. Now, I'm hearing T-Mobile USA will be carrying Mr. Sam Man's Samsung Omnia i900 later this year, named something else, but with the same features as the Samsung Omnia i900, when TMO breaks out it's new 3g network. So I really want you to get things up and running, before I purchase my Samsung Omnia i900. Another thing I found out is they are 3 version of the Samsung Omnia i900, the i900, i900V, and the i908. Mr. Sam Man is got it going on............!

recomp-03.cab, will only work to start TCPMP, but not play anything. if I go to video options and click 'nil' so that it only plays the sound, then yeah - can 'listen' to youtube, but how about watching it? As soon as I go to video 'direct draw' or some other driver - It crashes (exists the program) or crashes the whole device! [the screen slowly turns to black and fades in and out, so must shut down device - it is like frying my screen! I have the omnia i900. Can you you help me with a fix please?? please? [apparently there is a problem with WM6.1 and TCPMP compatibility] because i also had a Fujitsu T830, which had WM5, and TCPMP worked excellent with the flashvideo bundle. I need 'idiot's instructions' to the fix please! post responses with .cabs attached, much appreciated!!

i900 built-in streaming player works on wi-fi connections
New Development! I just discovered that the omnia's built-in 'Streaming Player' will work on the mobile version of the youtube site! But only confirmed working on the wi-fi connection. What you do is you go to the mobile youtube site and click the video and it will automatically start in Streaming Player. Then once you are in the streaming player, hit on the bottom 'menu' then options and then 'connect via' - select "The Internet"!
I also installed the vtap thingy, but how do you actually watch direct feeds from other websites (not the just the content provided into vtap)? I need super idiot's instructions with attachments of the .cabs please!

YouTUBE on HTC S710

I know you have all been through this before but I need to know once and for all: Can I watch youTUBE or ANYtube videos on my phone?
My phone won't install Flash 7 and Flash Lite seems to not work either. I've tried HTC Streaming Media and that has not worked and CorePlayer will not install on my phone as well.
Am I forgetting to carry the one somewhere or is this a lost cause?
Kinoma freeplay can do this. The free version only shows 6 movies per hit but the full version you can watch everything on youtube

Hmph.
Let me try this one out. Thanks champ
Okay. I think we're going somewhere.
I got it and installed it and yet when I click on a video it gives me a 'Forbidden protocol 403' error.
Where to from here?
hmm thats strange, it worked fine for me on WIFI (gprs too, but very very slow!)
Do you have another app installed wich changes something with you internet connection?
Ummm.....what do you mean?
I'm not sure if this answers your question but I have a gang load of players installed: TCMP, YouTube Play (which also doesn't want to play), vTap, HTC Streaming, Kinoma.
I've been trying to solve this since Friday and to be honest, I see no reason that inspires me (more obsesses me) than pure 'I HAVE to win with this dammit!'
Some fools never learn it appears.
Oo!
Wait. Does it make a difference whether I install these programs on my device or MicroSD card?
I've installed them on the memory card because my phone *****es at me about memories.
On that subject, my OperaMobile also hangs on me. It seems this software doesn't like me. I think it's because I'm South African c",)
Try Skyfire, a browser with flash support. It'll play any flash content!
vtap
its surprising no one mention about vtap...its free and and no hassle..
www.vtap.com
I tried vTap and was unsuccessful with that one too

h.264 issue

Hi, new to the forums, and couldn't find an "omnia" section, so I guess this is the place to post this.
I just got an omnia and I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to play video.
I have tried:
tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72rc1.cab
tcpmp-0.72rc1-arm-ppc-recomp-03.cab
TCPMPMediaPlayer0.81RC1Beta.cab
divxplayer_PPC_0
coreplayer v1.2.5
coreplayer v1.3
and the instructions listed here http://www.pspmyspace.com/omnia/2008/11/watch-youtube-videos-on-samsung-omnia.html (theres a thread on this site with same post, just links didnt work...)
Long story short, I would love to watch the shows I download that are in mp4 format on this phone, its a big reason I picked this one.
Most of the time, I get errors back to the general extent of "cant play h.264" (even after load h.264.cab). Depending on which version I am using above, I sometimes get the crash.txt on TCPMP, or on the ARM-PPC version, it crashes when I try to open the file.
Any help is REALLY appreciated.
Thanks
*UPDATE*
I did get some video working using the 4 part steps provided in the link above. After some testing, .avi videos I have from 2005 and earlier seem to play no problem. newer .avi and .mp4 still refuse to play though.
I am unsure what could be causing this, but I assume its newer codecs that were used in these videos. Does anyone have any ideas here?
Dunno' how bumping is viewed on this board, but since i'm 3 pages back now, can anyone help with this?
Thanks
I think if you install Flash Lite 3, it should work as long as you view the video in PC/Desktop mode.
You are talking about ONLINE youtube videos right?
Unless it's incompatible with Omnia, although Omnia is WinMo.....it should work for you tube.
Just install the .cab
And open opera, and go to youtube
And click on view in Desktop/PC Mode
Then click on a video.
Update: I didn't read the MP4, AVI part. LOL Sorry.
Have you purchased a full version of Core Player Mobile? I had a symbian phone, for example, and I installed a cracked Core Player Mobile, and it couldn't play the videos or it couldn't install. So I bought the real full latest version and it worked miracle. I am not sure if it is just as good in WinMo though

HTC YouTube WVGA for TG01?

I have looked on these and other forums for a working cab of the htc youtube from the touch hd or the blackstone that works on the TG01 but haven't manage to find a working one. I installed the latest certs and htc framework but still cannot play video. It a shame as the quality of the videos is really good. I remember when I had my blackstone the quality on the wvga screen was fab on the tg01 is got to be smoother and better hey?
If someone has ported this can you be so kind to point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance guys
143 views and nobody can point me to a working version?
Please guys, google youtube is crap. Interface and quality are dreadful.
I have tried the touch hd it version but it doesnt even install. What are the things that I need?
Thanks all in advance
In CorePlayer theres YouTube supports, just change the setting to hight quality and you are set to go.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I know that, the version that I have of core player is the original one that comes with the rom. I have upgraded to the newer version but felt it was too slow and benchmarked a lot less that the original one. Unfortunatly the original version does not have the youtube feature working. I still think that the videos look a lot better and the UI is much nicer with the HTC version. I have tried the TP2 version but it doesn't work either. Do I need anything else installed apart from the HTC framework and the certs do you think? It all installs fine and shows the videos but when I try to play them it says that the videos cannot be played error. Again, thanks for replying.

I don't know what to say but omg. How did you get this ?!! I've been looking everywhere for a youtube app after trying MVU Mobile Browser and youtubeplayer. I looked on youtube and kept saying your device isn't supported (TG01). Google didn't return any results for any youtube native apps for windows mobile.
I've installed it and honestly didn't expect it to work, but it does! The only problem is though is that since youtube have updated their mobile website, the quality is much better than what is streamed on the native apps, such as the one I've just downloaded from your post. There doesn't appear to be a HQ button on the app so I guess it's streaming from 3GP.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Hopefully, it will be a long while yet before Windows Mobile is actually abandoned, even though various sources state that development has come to an end for the platform.
BTW, Youtubeplayer doesn't work for me either, hence why I started to use MVU Mobile Browser as my youtube FLV downloader - playback still doesn't seem to work in coreplayer

Officially confirmed from COREPLAYER that Google has changed anything on Youtube and after that, COREPLAYER can't play Youtube videos. They say that next Coreplayer release will fix it (paying?? )
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2746&p=11146&hilit=youtube+fails#p11146
I've downloaded the last official Youtube app for WM
Only avilable from the phone: http://m.youtube.com/app , and I also think that quality image has been improved, but not for all the videos (I can't understand why...). Besides, looks great on our big screen!!
So, I've just deleted youtubeplay from my device and perhaps Coreplayer will be the next, as I prefer TCPMP
(On the other hand if you have your own videos on Youtube, you can watch them easily with the new app. Not possible with Youtubeplay)

Can you please confirm which version you have. I'm thinking of buying coreplayer latest version but problem is I don't know which one to get because there is smartphone and pocketpc but smartphone says nontouchscreen! Which one did you choose?
Thanks, and does youtube work on the lastest version? Cheers
P.S. I can't believe we have to pay to upgrade coreplayer!! Even though it comes free with the phone. I have a good mind not to bother to be honest because I'd rather support the developers here than let coreplayer have my money. Problem is though, it seems google keep changing the way video is streamed on their servers all the time, causing playback issues with our software.
