my windows media player won't play *.mp4 files anymore.
it used to play them without any problems just click on the file and it will play.
now when I click on the file, it gives me an error; cannot play the file.
However, if I go to the library of WMP, it will play ok.
now the other problem is whenever I play any movie, not all of them will play in landscape although it used to play all of them in landscape
please help
You need to fix the file association for .mp4's. You must've messed it up somehow. You can do it with extended file explorer or total commander.

After a hard reset on my Magician, i installed the last versions of tcmp player pocket music.
Then i changed back the associations to media player in order to have the ringtones working properly, and tried to listen some mp3's with pocket music. I browsed the folder with the mp3's, i was able to see the files but i couldn't open it.
Then, i tried with media player. When i tried to open a file with clicking it from File Explorer, i received the error "Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play." The weird thing is that when i try to open the file from inside of media player's library, i works ok.
I unistalled tcmp and pocket music, but it didn't help. To summarize, the problem is that i can't open an mp3 file directly from explorer for media player, and not at all with pocket music. Tcmp works fine, but i prefer pocket music for mp3 listening.
Any suggestions except hard reset?
(sorry for the complicated post and my bad english)
Hello,
I flashed my Touch Pro to the PROven 2.4 rom from the stock rom that came with my device. In the old ROM, if I opened a .WMV file in the file explorer it would open up Windows Media Player and play the video in a choppy fashion. Actually everything was slow in the stock and laggy with the stock rom.
After I flashed it to PROven 2.4 everything runs so much better and the device is very snappy and responsive. If I play a .WMV file in Windows Media Player it runs great and pretty smooth.
One problem, I can only play .WMV files in Media Player by opening up media player and then selecting the .WMV file from my storage card. If I use file explorer or CE commander it uses the HTC Photo Album to play my videos and not only does it run like crap but I have to turn my Touch Pro sideways to use the video controls but then the movie file is sideways on the screen and remains like that unless I pop out the keyboard. Besides the movie plays choppy anyways.
Now don't get me wrong, HTC Photo album is fine for movies I shoot with my phone and photos. But it sucks as a player for .WMV files.
So I decided to use CE Commander to change file associations for .WMV files. I set it to /Windows/Mplayer.exe and everything appears to work. That is until I try to click on a movie from my storage card using file explorer or CE commander. It successfully opens up Windows Media Player 10, but instead of playing the movie Media Player reports that the path specified can not be found or something of that nature. If required I can get the exact error message I get.
How do I fix this and have my .WMV files play correctly in Media Player when clicked on in file explorer/CE commander? I would greatly appreciate the help, thanks guys!

You had installed some ROM and or program? Try to remember what you installed or changed the last time I was still working to find if it is a problem with ROM or program!
Failing that there are tons of media players out there that should play that with little effort..Check me if you cant find whats going on and i will hook you up..
Hello.
Is there a music player that know how to properly sort files, so after file1 it would play file2 and not file10 ?
Thank you.
You have to turn shuffle off.
Yes, Captain Obvious, it IS off.
For some reason all players I've tried so far sort files as:
file1
file10
file11
file12
...
file2
file20
file21
This goes to sorting by filename or data in ID3 tags
In PHP/MySQL it's called "natural" sorting, I believe
Sorry. But that was the first thing that came to me. What phone do you have?
Google Music Player
That's the best music player anywhere online or offline
winamp ?
Uber Music by Federico Carnales has an advanced media scan and he claims it uses "true shuffling" so you can try that..
I had this same problem (while using CM9 music player) and I found that by hitting party shuffle it fixed it?
first try to rename file1 to file01 and file2 to file02 eccetera eccetera... After that i used doubleTwist Player, freeware from Google Play, you can create playlists with that.
I like TTPod
Any free music player what can properly sort files?Arrow
try to rename the files and then use the doubletwist player
TTPOD is the best music player...

If I have to rename files any player would do just fine. It defeats the point of this topic - finding a player that sorts files properly.
They are being sorted properly, all operating systems recognize 10 as coming before 2. Use a program like Mp3tag to automatically rename all of your music files to the correct convention; 01, 02.......10,11, etc.

And what the "all operating systems" are you referring to? Windows sort them just fine without prepending with zeros.

can't play this link 是什么原因？
最近发觉无法播放保存在 Windows 主机上通过 SMB 共享的文件，提示 can't play this link 。有 webm 格式的，也有 mp4 格式的。但也不是所有的都不能播放，有的能，有的不能，而且奇怪的是都是最近下载的文件基本上都不能，应该不是文件名编码不识别的问题，因为如果把文件名仅仅改为简单的纯英文字母，没有其它任何字符，也出无法播放。但是如果把文件复制到手机中是可以播放的，这是什么原因？
What is the reason why I can't play this link?
I recently found that I can't play files that are shared via SMB on a Windows host, and I can't play this link. There are webm formats and mp4 formats. But not all of them can't be played, some can and some can't, and strangely enough, all the recently downloaded files basically can't be played, so it's not a matter of the file name encoding not being recognised, because if you change the file name to just plain English letters without any other characters, it won't play either. But if you copy the file to the phone it will play, what is the reason for this?

Fixed, it turned out to be an NTFS permissions issue.
