[solved]WMP error with mp4 files - General Questions and Answers

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 ^^).

TCMP and youtube - flv plugin

i didn't see anyone posting this before - i just found out about this plugin, i tried it and it works! for all of you who are tired of converting flv to avi in order to watch it on your ppc, theres a solution. it also comes with utilities to ease the downloading of video from youtube.com, i tried, also works a charm. good luck, and thanks to the creators!
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196939
I don't able to play the video:
I put the 3 files in the tcmp folder (in sd card)
I don't able to play the video on the you-tube page
and I don't able to play the video flv (downloaded by youtubedownload.exe) on the player
I run O.72 version with the plugin of 0.81
How you get it successfully?
thanks
Enough only to put the two files .flv in the root TCPMP.
With the others files you are able to download the tape directly on ppc,enough to launch YouTube Download on device..

you mean .plg files i assume. but right, that's what you should do. then also you can edit options>preferences>file associations in tcpmp so then you can launch tcpmp doubleclicking flv file (it is called flash video in options)
uvz: i don't know what's wrong - it works with tcpmp v. 0.71 - my plugin version is 0.2, have no idea how can i help :/
ok, I found the reason..
The 3 files I downloaded was all exe file (??)
I download the zip folder in other place and I found the correctly .plg files.
So now I can play the video on tcpmp, by downloading with the exe.
But I'm not able to stream video directly from you-tube page: it's normal?
I can only download the video and then play with tcpmp, or there are a possibility to open and play directly from the you-tube page by streaming with tcpmp?
Finnaly... I'm now able to play .flv files... horray!!!
I've copied the flv plugin to the TCMP folder and I think they're correctly installed. However when playing youtube vids, it connects to HTC Streaming Media which unfortunately doesn't run vids on my Kaisser.
Do I have to remove streaming Media so that youtube would connect to TCMP when vids are selected? How can I select streaming media into my TCMP?
Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
TCPMP streaming problems with WM6
I have an HTC touch cruise with wm6 and I am unable to stream flv files.
I have installed the TCPMP program and I think I installed tcpmp plugin 0.4.2.
When I install the plug in, do the files automatically install themselves in the TCPMP root file??? and how are they identified.
It shows in my settings/system/Remove programs , the TCPMP and TCPMP plugin are both installed Could some one please post step by step install instruction or direct me to one .
Thanks

Play video with TCPMP in HTC Video album

Hello all
After long search in this forum and in cruise's registry, I didn't find how to play video with tcpmp (instead WMP) in HTC Video Album.
TCPMP is correctly configured for play all media by default in my phone, (photo,music,video), since the explorer, by example. But not since HTC Video Album.
Someone could help me?
And I think it will be interesting for a lot of people!
THX a lot!
Bye
After one week of research, no solution...
possible fix
Hi,
I did the following with my device:
I opened the registry and browsed to HKLM\software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3\ and edit Path. Insert the following value if you have an English device: \storage card\program files\tcpmp\player.exe
If you have a different langauge device you should replace the \storage card\ with the name of your card.
N.B. This only works if you installed TCPMP player with the default settings on the storage card.

Good suggestion, however this only gets you to open TCPMP through the cube "Videos" icon, not within HTC Album as requested by ZueBug - I think ZueBug meant that he wants to be able to click on a video from within the HTC Album UI and then have it call up TCPMP to play the video instead of WMP. This would be great since the HTC Album has a much better UI as compared with TCPMP for browsing through your video collection. I started a thread on this issue a while back, however no one has come up with a solution as yet.
Better yet, i don't even see any videos in HTCAlbum. That's why i changed the Video button in the cube. I wouldn't be able to view any videos, now i am. So for me it's a win-win situation.
But after reading your post i assume you CAN see videos in HTCAlbum?
TCPMP is my default music and video player. But my problem is: how to make TCPMP default player in HTC album!
THX!
Touch settings
Use Carlosp touch settings v 2.2 .
Works almost perfect for mine Cruise , except a message at the opening.
For wich I'm still waiting for a solution.
If you read my first post in this topic you'd have your solution to PCPMP player being defautl in the cube. But i guess reading is hard these days...

Yes, videos are viewable in HTC Album for me after clicking on the Videos button in the cube. Apparently though, it only recognizes videos in MP4 format. Any videos in AVI format are ignored when placed in the folder from which HTC Album reads. I guess HTC Album was really designed specifically for the videos taken by the on-board camera and nothing else. So I assume this is why you can't see any videos - your collection is not in MP4 format, correct?
As a test, I converted an AVI clip to MP4 and, low and behold, it was recognized in HTC Album. However, I am not about to get started converting my whole video library to MP4 anytime soon!
Well, the fun part is, all video i have is made by the Polaris. So either the HTCalbum sucks balls, or there's something wrong with my ROM.

That is weird! Here is my rom info if it helps:
ROM Version: 1.25.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 12/11/07
Radio Verision: 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
Anyone else with my rom version able to confirm my findings? Anyone with NeoS2007's rom version able to confirm his findings?
THX for all, but my problem is still not solved...
(not possible to find the solution to play video with tcpmp or another soft since HTC video album, not f..... WMP... )
And NeoS2007 stop to talk if understanding (and reading!!!) my problem is hard these days...
I launch TCPMP from the cube.It's my default multimedia player.But when I'm in HTC album, videos are played in WMP. Voila le problème...

tcpmp youtube question.

How can I make youtube/flash videos open up in TCPMP instead of WMP. I have the setting on TCPMP to open flash/flv files but it still does not WMP is currently giving me an error because I installed and uninstalled some plugs ins that cause some issues for WMP. Plus TCPMP give me better quality video thank you.
Did you install the FlashVideoBundle Drivers for TCPMP?

yes I did. Youtube(mobile with opera 9.5 diamond build) use to open with tcpmp but once I moved to wm 6.1(official rom) it started to open in WMP. Then after installing the 3g2 and other codec plug in for wmp it stop working, even after uninstalling it. And yes I read that page twice.
everytime I try to play a youtube video with wmp it says there is a source error. Anyway to fix this issue?

For starters, WMP doesn't support those file types. So, make sure you have installed the FLV bundle to the same location as TCPMP, and make sure .flv is an associated file with TCPMP. As mentioned above, this has been a very popular subject, so be sure to search for this. Playing youtube videos is probably the easiest thing to achieve these days, it is very simple.
I don't think you understand. I can play youtube files fine with I.E. and tcpmp. However, with Opera 9.5 and youtube mobile pages which they don't work well anymore. I was able in the past to get it to work before. The opera would open the files up in WMP and play them. But once I installed these plugins for wmp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366471 WMP stopped playing it citing a source error. So I uninstalled the files and still the same issue still citing a source error.
So, what I want to know now is how to make opera open the files up in TCPMP like I.E. does, or maybe even get to work in WMP again. Thank you.
anyone have both WMP 6 and 6.1 defualt codec dll and such?
Ok, didn't know you were trying to open through Opera. If uninstalling doesn't work, you prob need to hard reset, considering you altered the system file, and the uninstallation didn't revert it back to normal. I'm not even sure Opera will open a YouTube video in TCPMP. I believe it is coded to open out of PIE. I only use PIE for YouTube really, just use ytpocket.com. Makes browsing YouTube quicker and easier. Also, the vids you were plaing before in WMP are low quality .3GP files.
really? I was wondering why the quality was terrible when compared to TCPMP. Well on that subject I some how just lost .3gp support on my device also. The 3gp file my camera phone records won't play on wmp, and plays on tcpmp but with audio errors(I installed the plugin to get the camera phone videos to work with WMP again).
anyone please?
can you make opera mini open youtube files with TCPMP like it does with IE and flash bundle?

TCPMP on Fuze?

Seems as though TCPMP does not work on WM 6.1 from what Ive seen/read.
Anyone get this working?
Same problem. Now i use "Coreplayer" V 1.2.5 / 4506 insted. Works fine...
Best regards
I've used coreplayer many htx devices on wm6.1. No problems here. Maybe a file error?
I use coreplayer and tcpmp on my kaiser (wm6.1), but 2 things I noticed about coreplayer is:
1. It doesnt play all .flv movies, any flv movies I save directly and try to play it just shows it as if it's loading, but there should be nothing to load.. it's already on my device!
2. Is there a way to view a playlist and add and remove files from the playlist? like on tcpmp you can just click playlist.. on coreplayer i cant find one! I found a "now playing" but wasnt able to add items.
This version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387 should work
Theres a good thread over in the Diamond section about video playback and some settings Sketchy found that work pretty well with WMP but corePlayer chokes and dies:

Windows Media Player 6.1?

I am kind of having some issues with my Windows Media Player 6.1 and was wondering if anyone has the cab for WMP6.1 and it's codecs to download. I really need it please and thank you.
bump please
I really ask for the cab and such please.
Search for a program called TCPMP (be sure to get the updated one that gets rid of the crash.txt error).
depends on what issue do you have?
i would like to help,
the rom i have does not have it. Also i dont really want to use tcpmp.
i guess i am out of luck? What about WMP default codec files?
Thats nearly impossible,. WMP and its codec is a base codec for a "sound",. so if a ROM dont include it, then the ROM will be very difficult to play such a music,.
Here is to check, this is full WMP that relocated already (so you cant make an OEM from this),.
If this .cab cant be installed, means that the ccodec is already in your ROM,.
For further advise, please contact your ROM cooker,.
That wont happen in original ROM,.
BR
Alright I get wmp now but it won't let me play 3gp files, which is what format my phone takes video in. TCPMP gives an error saying there is like an audio error and only plays the video without the sound.
