Hi,
Was hoping to dump windows media player and make coreplayer the default player, but cant find any how to..yesI did a search.
Is there a registry hack or something?
cheers.
Bump......
Moved as not software release.
You can change the associations with most file explorers so when you click on the file it opens the program you want, CorePlayer in the settings also has the option to associate the file types you want.

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

Have you tried using HTC Home Customizer to obtain this effect?
Need HTC customizer
dharvey4651 where can I get the HTC customizer, I tried the link in the Blackdiamond thread but it does not work. Thanks
htc home customizer..
yes i tried the customizer.. but it only shows htc audio manager and windows media player..
i have core player and morthplayer and both of them don't show up...
Hmmm... Have you checked the registry and played around with that? It might be possible to change the default Media Player through the registry
registry edit
well i am not very familiar with the registry.. however i learned from one of the threads that i could change the string value on the registry to change default player.. but only 0 and 1 makes a difference again switching from audio manager to windows media player... tried other digits.. but don't seem to work..
please help me!!
the commands and paths calling the media player application is embedded within the mediahub.exe (the file responsible for the media face of cube and calling the media player from the plugin)..
unless you decompile the exe and hexedit the values/path.. you will be stuck with Audio manager or WMP...
there's a walk around though.. look for VJbrisk (google it: try VJBrisk vijay555 as querry).. rename the installed EXE as AudioManager.exe then copy-paste it on the \Windows Directory (don't forget to rename the original AudioManager.exe in the windows directory before pasting).. then grab a shortcut of CorePlayer or MortPlayer, rename it as target.lnk and paste it in the \windows directory..
that's the hard way to do it..

no.. only launch the coreplayer (or any other app).. but playback control is not possible (Coreplayer doesn't handle command line controls)..
What about Mortplayer, will this method work with it?
I have Att Fuze(touch pro)
with Coreplayer where i can use the Pad to click forward on movie Videos
like a que forward while watching movies
Was wondering can we Set it on Volume to forward Video ?
Cos will get a phone which doesnt have the Dpad
Conduits Pocket Player Support
In case anybody still wanted to pursue this...
I want to use the HTC music player to play my podcasts via BeyondPod. BeyondPod's internal player is set to Windows Media Player. You can change this to 'external' in which case BeyondPod uses whatever player is associated with the file format.
I presume there's a Windows registry setting that I need to change. Can someone point me in the right direction and also tell me what the HTC player exe is called and where it is?
Thanks
