I am now converting my videos to mp4 format which plays great in my Touch HD's Windows Media Player Mobile. However, the videos don't show in the library - I have to hunt through menus to find File Open etc...
Is there a reg key or something I can do to make the mp4 files show up in the WMP "library" (which appears to only show WMV files by default)
hanks
Under
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\
Name:
MediaPlayerSupportFilter
String:
.wma;.wmv;.mpeg;.mpg;.asf;.qcp;.mp4
=)
greets
I tried that but mp4 still don't show in the library. I suspect there is a library manager that searches for media and populates the library...not sure if that's the same as the reg key I justed editted...
On my Blackstone it works.
Strange
After "refresh the library" the *.mp4 Video is in the Library
I had an extra semicolon ( on the end of .mp4 so I tried removing that, and then soft resetting.
Still the same result (even after a library update). My media player library only sees the wmv files on my PPC...not the mp4 files. Are you sure there is nothing else you changed?
I store my mp4 file under \storage card\videos
Is that where yours are?

I am using Voice Command 1.5 for PPC (O2 XDA IIs) and recently had to do a re-install. This time I put BetaPlayer on before Voice Command and now BetaPlayer activates when I ask it to play a music track. Previously the Windows Media Player would play the music and I cannot figure out how to change the default player for Voice Command!
Of note - It is not MP3 file associations as this still points to Media Player not Beta Player (Clicking on an MP3 brings up Media Player). Also, when I state "Next Track" with Media Player active it changes track ..... very confusing!
I feel that the activation of Media Player is contained in some form of ini file for Voice Command as I have searched the registry for some link to Voice Command and Media Player but been unable to locate this. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most grateful.....
Found it!
It isn't .mp3 file associations it is .asx association (Playlist).
A simple edit of the registry with PHM Registry Editor soon fixed the problem!
I had the same problem, but my other offending player was mortplayer..
now this solution may work for you so here goes.
1....i uninstalled mort player first because mvcommand tried to call each time i tried to call an artist mp3 file.
when yo try to use mvcommand again to call the artist, an error "voice command.asx" would be displayed. mvcommand actually places this file in a temp directory on your pda's memory.
2.......i then used Gsfinder+ a freeware file explorer program to associate the file asx with "windows media player file" by doing a file open... choose program method,
3 now open the asx file, this will load the media player...close it
and try the command to load an artist from mvcommand.
it worked for me.
if your probblem is related to video files the same procedure may work for that too, but am not sure if it will save an wmv or avi file to the temp directory.
Good luck :roll:
Hey everyone
I need some help with my XDA.
I can no longer play wma files as ringtones. I could a few days ago.
Im a registered user of PocketZenPhone and I used to have different wma ringtones on different profiles.
Now none can be played.
If I use Pocket Music I can play .wma files but if I go to "Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications" and select any wma file, even the build in ones and press play I hear nothing. The strange thing is that I can't even leave the "Notifications" menu.
Each time I press Ok it returns me to "Incoming Ringtone" I have to force to go to Today screen to leave this menu. If I select wav file for ringtone its played OK.
I checked out the forums and the net and found some references to Windows Media Player file associations.
I removed all audio progs and even removed any registry key concerning wma files. I created new association with Media Player but still no ringtones.
If I tap a wma file from file manager the first time it starts WM Player and the file is being played OK but if I select a second or third etc the media Player does nothing or most of the times it gives me the following error:
X in red circle
"Windows Media Player cannot play this file
because the required codec is not installed.
Try using Media Player 9 series or later to
copy the file from your computer to your
device again"
What the hell is that? Media Player version is 9 built 14053.
All my ringtones were and are in the \Windows\Rings directory
Registry looks OK
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wma only has a (Default) String value of WMAFile
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAfile has association with mwplayer.
Any suggestions.
P.S. Sorry for the big post. just tryed to give as much info as possible.
Wma ??
Does anyone has or had similar problem that can help?
i got that problem..
i got that problem too.. mine i uninstalled pocket music.. then it went fine.. i guess all your wma files was running in pocket music.. that it won't play with windows media.. that i didn't get.. coz if a file is associated it still should and can play.. try it if it works...
You are right wma files were played by Pocket Music but not only did I remove the association and unistalled it but also restored association to Windows Media Player. Still no joy though.
Same problem here!
Well, sort of... The thing is that SOME .wma or midi files don't work as ringtones anymore but some others do.
I also use PocketZenPhone.
Weird...
Media Player error reproducing wma files.
Can anybody more experienced with XDAs help us here. The Media Player error when playing wma files from a file manager can be replicated by anyone here?
The firt one plays but the subsequent ones produce the foll. error:
X in red circle, and,
"Windows Media Player cannot play this file
because the required codec is not installed.
Try using Media Player 9 series or later to
copy the file from your computer to your
device again".
Is sometheing wrong with Media Player installation?
file association
The key is making sure that the .wma is associated with windows media player. you have to go into the application and un/select .wma to default to windows media player. you can also do this with a tweak program, but its best to do it within the actual applications. otherwise, you will hear either nothing or a warning beep in place of the selected file. This will also hold true for any ringtone program you may have.
I just got this problem too. Tried to open a file through explorer and nothing is set as the defult player for wma files. Any ideas how to set them back to windows media player? Is there a simple reg key that can be changed?
Edit: I installed pocket tweak, but when I go to choose a program it starts in my documents with no way to go back up a level to get to the windows folder (where mplaer.exe is).
Edit 2: I did a soft reset and ringtones worked again. How strange.
Media Player error message on wma lpayback
Well "davidleecpowell" if you read my firts post you will see that not only have I removed association from oher audio player but also completely removed the software except media player. Also re assigned association with Media Player but still no ringtones.
If I tap a wma file from file manager the first time it starts WM Player and the file is being played OK but if I select a second or third etc the media Player gives me the following error:
X in red circle
"Windows Media Player cannot play this file
because the required codec is not installed.
Try using Media Player 9 series or later to
copy the file from your computer to your
device again"
Its very strange indeed and the last thing want to do is YET ANOTHER HARD RESET.
Suggestions anyone?
my windows media player 9,doesn't support divx,and i don't know where i can find some codecs or something. And why when i try to access a file in FILE BROWSER i get an error message something like : windows cannot find a application suitable for this( JPEG image ). PS Do you recommend me to upgrade to windows 2005???
TSM 500 ( XDA II )
ROM Version : 2.06.00WWE
ExtROM:Sin.Merged.v.2.0
ok 1st the one i can help with, Codecs, AVI and DIVX files where a must for me when i got mine, after some searching i settled on TCPMP,
The Core Pocket Media Player
http://corecodec.org/frs/download.php/366/tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip
for the ARM CAB Download or
http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=222#r222
for the list of installers
Once installed run the app and goto options then settings,
then tap on select page, from this drop down list select file associations.
pick em off, i have it set for everything but PNG JPG & JPEG. but more importantly AVI and DIVX is there. and playback is very clear.
Works Perfect for me.
As for the JPEG Image issue, dont know is this only for JPEG Files, options but not answers could be try resco explorer instead of the standard, but i cant see that being the issue, more than likely file association in the registry but i couldnt say where.
Pocket Tweak from Tillanosoft has file associations could be worth checking that to see if jpg is set to the correct program.
Hope this helps
Hi guys, I have one little question.
I have downloaded a decoder that enables me to play aac files on WMP, but when I select update library, it doesn't add them(BTW the files are in a m4a wrapper). Is it possible to edit the library manually or to make WMP automatically detect the files as music files?
Thanks
hello people,
I have an error with my own rom (diamond wm6.5 build 23009) when I play a mp4 files recorded with the camera. The message "source filter could not be loaded" is displaying when I play this kind of files.
I search in the registry files of package (mediaOS) and there isn't reg key for mp4. I guess that there is no codec installed for mp4 or the registry keys are missing.
Thanks for your help
EDIT : I solved this issue, it came from my DShow package
Are you willing to use another app to play almost all formats?
Try: Coreplayer or TCPMP
If you wanna stick to WMP I´m sure another member will show you the possible fix
Good luck,
It works well with core player but HTC Album can't read my mp4 files. It's why I wanna solve this issue (otherwise I hate WMP ^^).
