Does anyone know a way to view video file icons by their thumbnail outside of the picture/video view and not in wmv format?
I want to use something like winterface as video launcher for my movies/tv shows, and maybe music, but don't want the stupid windows-flag icon that is used for my avi files. Does anyone know of an explore plugin that would generate thumbnails for the icons?
I'm interested in any solutions, even if i have to do something on my computer before putting the videos on the sd card.
TIA
WTF? was i spam replied?
ok, in the meantime i found s-k-tools icon changer, but i'd like something a little better than just a generic icon for all my AVIs. Maybe there is no way to do this because winmo just don't quite got what it takes?
hopefully i can find a way to do this soon enough. I'd eventually like to get something like boxee running on a winmo phone, with plugins for wikilyrics and everything. I'll probably have to wait for fennec to come out (and buy a better phone than a herald) but that's the dream anyways.
i'd like to hear any advice or comments if you've got any.
bump
anyone have any ideas?

The application is called Vtap. You can view youtube videos, google videos, web cam videos, or any of the available video source online and it will format it for your device. It also has wikipedia. Just google vtap and give it a try, or type in your browser www.vtap.com to download for your device.
Wow
Works really good. Thanks for the post.
I think I found ........
I think I found my permanent video source for my wizard. And its free.
Skins
I just change the skin to night sky, and it matches the HTC touch theme. The other colors are classic, pulses aqua. I wonder if we can make our own skins for this app.
this is truly amazing.
Just my opinion after trying vTap that TCPMP route is better. You can go to the actual YouTube site via PIE, just click on the video of your choice and TCPMP plays it. But as I said, just my opinion.
Can you save the videos?
Post software link
I can't do the SMS route and going to vtap.com with my Axim doesn't work either. Can someone post a direct link to download the client software?
Good software. Have a few bugs but works great at my HTC Touch.
Here is the direct link to download: http://vtap.com/alldevices.html#5_ppc
vtap puts two shortcut on my programs list vtap & vtap(1). I remove and re-install and same thing. Just wondering why it places two shortcuts???
Great software. When I click cancel on the video player screen it shuts down the application and I am forced to restart.
Would be nice to filter the results by site (YouTube , BBC ect...)
Really nice piece of software! Seems i have trouble streaming though even on low quality settings, might be the net at my work lol.
Thx for your inform. I will try it!!
http://vtap.com/alldevices.html#5_ppc This link no have WM5 PDA downloads!!
So sad sir!!.

Of course it does its the same for WM5 and 6, the second link to be more exact. And for someone else who asked it is possible to save bookmarks with this program. And for the other gentleman who mentioned the multiple shortcuts in the programs menu I suggest you take a course on file managment with Total Commander. *HINT* Windows->StartMenu->Programs
I installed Vtap but it will not connect to the server and it tells me to try again later. Why does this happen? I use WiFi connection from home to test.
I also have tested it in the hotspot but to my surprise, it works fine in the hotspot. So, is there any port that I need to open or something?
This also happens to AvotMV. When I click the video clip, it just says buffering but nothing happens. Does anyone know what causes this? '
I also have TCPMP installed with the flashvideobundle. But I don't think it has anything to do with this, does it?
Just wanted to say that this program works great!!
this is a great app, i was testing them on my wing and its very cool! thanks alot
It seems to be the music library in TF3D is missing a vital component - with 16gb cards now available it is possible to store a large number of tracks (I have > 2500). Scolling through all songs/ albums/ artists etc in the library just doesn't cut it when you have that many tracks.
What is required is something like the alphabet bar to the right of the screen in Contacts (and where you add cities in the Weather tab), so you can quickly go to tracks starting with the right letter, and then scroll from there.
Is something like this possible? If not, it seems like a silly ommission by HTC as they have implemented the same kind of thing in other areas of the phone.
Any ideas?
Seriously - no-one else has a problem with this?
Mine won't even find the tracks on the memory card let alone require the need to search through hundreds of them!
All I have are the four HTC demo ones... even tho I've got loads of tracks on the memory card, the only way I can play them is by using WMP rather than the TF3D Library
Works fine for me here.
Have HTC spanish 1.90 official ROM, and an Sandisk SD 6Gb Class4 microSD card.
I have around 250-300 files in MP3/WMA format inside SD\MY Documents\Musica and have no problem using from TF3D.
I have some files in SD\Seleccion\Ringtones in MP3/WAV/WMA format and this files appear in TF3D Music too.
I'm waiting for my new 16Gb microSD card, so probably i put thousands music files into the SD and report back here what's going.
Cheers
do you have to have album art for the tunes to show in the TF3D music app or does it have a placeholder for mp3's without album art attached?

I don't have a solution to this problem, but I got the problem as well...
Right, so this thread seems to have moved on to people who can't get the TF3D player to recognise their music. There are plently of other threads about that - please check them out.
I have no problems using the player whatsoever - all 2500+ tracks are showing in TF3D, and I even got all the album art sorted out. If I only had a couple of hundred tracks there would be no issue at all. The problem is that with so many tracks TF3D is a pain to navigate through - if you want to find a track that starts with the letter Z it takes forever to scroll to it in the library.
I was hoping some enterprising soul with a bit of programming knowledge could develop something similar to the alphabet bar in Contacts (and where you add cities in the Weather tab), so you can quickly get close to where you want to be, and then scroll from there.
Does that make sense? Anyone know whether that might be possible?

Sorry, I think you're just not understanding what I'm saying. I have no problem at all with files and album art etc being recognised by the AudioManager. The problem I have is that when there are thousands of tracks, then navigating through them is a right pain, and I was hoping someone could come up with a better way of doing it.

I have been wondering this as well. I know that HTC produced the Random Access addon for Contacts. Does anyone know - or anyone able - to see if this could be made available for the audio manager?
Yes, I'm frustrated by this too. It would be nice to have the music in the tab, but it would be better to have a great little media player. Any reccomendations?
ya im frustrated by it too. i basically just use that tf3d player for random/shuffle playing.
if i want a specific song ill just navigate to it through file explorer.
kind of a PIA but oh well. maybe they will update it later on.
Audio manager long list issue
I am having same issue. With about 400 albums in my music audio manager there seems no way to scroll thru the list quickly. Hope someone tries and comes up with some kind of solution.
I was just wondering if its possible at all to watch youtube videos on the fuze. I dont want the crappy website where it streams youtube videos in 3gp. I wanna access all of the videos, not just the ones youtube has bothered to convert. Thanks for the help in advance!
If you browes your windows directory you will find a You Tube application which is pretty well made, and has a High Quality option for very good looking clips.
I dont see any youtube application? I have the att fuze by the way, not the unbranded htc pro. Not sure if that makes a difference. Is there any place that I could download the app from?
On the Fuze, it's already present in the Programs tab.
I dont know if I am looking in the wrong place or if the app got deleted or something but I cant find it anywhere for the life of me. I dont see any youtube applications under the programs tab. Is it hidden somewhere?
It's a funny thing that AT&T did, so don't feel stupid.
You have to go - through the file explorer - into the Windows directory. You'll find that YouTube app in there. Cut it and paste it into Start Menu>Programs and you'll be on your way to YT enjoyment.
Btw, not to burst your bubble or anything, but it's in this raphael section....if you had searched youtube on fuze.....then you would've found it....

Do anybody know if its possible to do some movie maker prog to Android?
I search in market, but cant find. I just want to record some movie with phone cam and than take this and edit it in phone, delete some scenes and paste some background music an maybe do some nice effects.
Can somebody do that APP ?
is it possible?
I mean, iphone has it, why not take this like a challange and do some like this???
No need to wait until you're at your computer to start editing your mobile movies
yes! i agree we need one of these apps..
I second the request...
Funny...me and some buddies are actually making some stupid films using the Nexus. However, I'm forced to use the Windows program to edit.
This would be awesome!
Anyone know how to add thumbnails for movies you put in the gallery? I used DVD Catalyst to convert some movies (awesome application by the way totally worth it if youre looking for how to put movies on virtually any device). Only problem is unless I use THEIR gallery and add a picture with same name as the movie, it wont display a thumbnail - using their gallery clogs my own gallery with pictures and movies that are black, and they leave a border around the movie that isnt black - annoying. *sigh*
Anyone else have luck?

Hi Spartacus,
Thank you for using DVD Catalyst,
I created the player-app because there wasn't anything else out there that would let you use your own cover images for your video files. Before the 3.1 update on HC, you could create a folder, put a video file in it and then an image file, and it would display it in the Gallery app, but Google broke that with the 3.1 update, so I made the app. I still haven't seen anything else that works in a similar way.
I have been working on an update for it all week, and after I read your post, I did make some changes regarding the images, so the next update will have them not show up in Gallery.

Thanks, looking forward to the update. I know myself and a lot of others still want a way to add thumbnails for movies in the gallery.

Same here, but with that being a gripe since the beginning of Android, I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. Because the idea behind it is so simple and obvious, I was expecting someone to come up with it, but since that never happened, I figured I'd give it a shot.
