i have a player called tcpmp but always have to open that up to play the file i want, i just want to find the file click on it and then tcpmp can load up playing the avi file. is there any way i can do this? plus how do i change some files back to windows media audio file because some of them have changed too please helpppp.
found the problem 8) if anyones wondering what you need, you need 2 things that combine first get pockettweak from
http://tillanosoft.com/ce/ptweak.html and then
tGetFile.dll from
http://tillanosoft.com/ce/tgetfile.html
both of the sites have guides, hope this helps
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
Hey guys,
I have my own HTTP MP3 Server set up that I would like to access remotely. The thing is, I use GSPlayer to copy and paste the link to stream the MP3, but is there some kind of plugin that when I click on the song it will automatically start streaming it. I pretty much would like to see something like the way YouTube works with TCPMP except with MP3s. Any ideas?
I think WMP should work, but EDGE is to slow for steaming media in my area, so I'm not 100% positive. However, when I open up my copy of TCPMP and look under file associations, there is an "HTTP Protocol" Try disabling GSPlayer, and going to the URL of your server in PIE, I beleive TCPMP should open right up and just start playing/

It doesn't. It asks me if I want to save it. I just want to stream it. I'm on Sprint's EVDO with my Mogul and YouTube works flawlessly when I stream it. All I need to see is if there's a plug-in that will force IE or Opera to launch the URL in GSPlayer or TCPMP. I've tried searching all over, but I can't seem to find anything.
Hmm, that's interesting. Could you post the link so that we can try on our devices and see what happens?
Just try to go to any site that has an MP3 file there and see if it will ask you to save it or not. I don't want to post my HTTP File Server up here for everyone to access.
bump.. does anyone know of any RSS MP3 Players? I have some XMLs generated for those.
bump again
I believe SPB Insight has the ability to download podcasts OTA.
But it doesn't support MP3s.
bump.. to the top! Is this impossible as of now? I didn't think it would be since there's a YouTube plug-in.
hello.........?
Hello all.
I am trying to get some of my favorite local radio stations internet streams onto my phone. I got an URL sniffer and have been able to get Windows Media Player to play the MMS source on the stations that I want. In other words ... it is working.
What I am trying to do now is get a shortcut for the MMS link that will open the stream without me having to open Windows Media manually and then opening the URL. Everytime I create a shortcut, it creates an internet shortcut, which uses Internet Explorer. I have tried redirecting the shortcut to open with Media Player using GSFinder, and that still is not working.
Anybody have any suggestions to getting this to work.

Above is the radio station address that I am trying to stream. I am not particular to any program ... all I want is to click on the shortcut and have the program self launch/play. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

what you're looking for is called an .ASX file.
it's basically a shortcut file for windows media streams.
look it up and make one yourself.
have fun
Sorry to bring an old thread up...but I found this very useful!
There are a lot of applications like WebTv, DiamondTV, but it is very simple.
Just make your own asx file, and click on it...voila WM or Coreplayer or any other player starts up and plays the stream. Light, easy.
here is a guide how to create the asx file:
To create an ASX metafile, open a text editor such as Notepad and enter the following text (substituting your own stream for stream):
<ASX version="3">
<Entry>
<ref href="stream" />
</Entry>
</ASX>
Save the text as an ASX file. Replace stream with your actual stream.
Click the ASX file to test it. Your media player should open and play the media file.
Nice
Finally, This post is really useful.
A post is never too old. You have completed it with essential informations.
Thanks! It's exactly what I was searching for.
All,
I've searched the forums and I've seen that people are asking how to exclude certain folders from the search path of the htc music engine. While this approach may work for some, it doesn't work for me, because I would have to know all the folders where music is stored to exclude them, and that can be a pain if you have several programs installed on your device.
What I've been trying to do is I've been trying to find out how to restrict or "force" the htc engine to search for music in one folder that I can configure and only in that folder. I save all my music to
\Stogare Card\Music\
But i have audio books in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Books\Audiobooks\
and when i go to the music tab, it tries to play my books (very annoying) and also, it plays the system sounds from the \Windows folder and any other sounds that it finds from the \Program Files\ folder, etc...
Does anyone have any idea how to tell the player to ONLY scan the \Storage Card\Music\ folder for music?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Dunno about Sense Music Player (I stay away from HTC bloatware and only use third party or MS apps), but some decent 3rd party media players that allow for excluding dirs when building up their library. See the "Library scanning: ex/including folders?" row in the chart in my dedicated article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415063
btw, my article has a lot of other goodies you may find extremely useful

I've tried using third party players (TCPMP, Nitrogen, Mortplayer) but i can't control any of those with the forward/back buttons on the HD2 hands free, and when I lock the phone with the end key to put it in my pocket, the only player that keeps playing music is the Sense Music Player, all the others stop playing and i have to unlock the phone and hit play again.
Also, with Sense Music Player, I can be reading something on the internet, or using my GPS and I can still change songs without having to go to the music tab or switching applications by simply using the forward/back buttons on my hands free, so i prefer to skip the files i don't want to listen to (little annoyance) to having to switch applications or to not being able to lock the phone (big annoyance)
So in my opinion, the only thing that the Sense Music player is missing to be perfect is the ability to tell it which folders to scan for music, like Mortplayer does, for instance.
I use mortplayer for audiobooks, the ability to add bookmarks to mp3 audiobooks is great, no other player can do that as far as i know. (there is Overdrive Media Console, but you have to use THEIR audiobooks)
thanks for your reply, though... as i said, all help is appreciated.

btw, as far as button assignment problems are concerned, did you try third-party tools? see my dedicated article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337602
Create a file named .nomedia in the directory in which you don't want them to show up. This works on Android, not sure what OS you're using.
Edit: You're using sense. It will work. Worked for me anyways. I have "Better Keyboard" installed and it stores all sounds on SD Card so I created .nomedia and viola, it's all gone from my music player. File needs to be blank, just needs to be named .nomedia.
Another edit: I guess you're not android. I thought you were talking about Android Sense. I'm sorry, but I can't help on this matter. Very sorry. However, if you ever get Android, there's a trick for you.
will check this out and see what I can do with it.

Tried it, but windows doesn't let you create a file with only an extension and no file name... it would have been great if it had worked! There's got to be a registry setting somewhere! if only somebody knew it and shared it!
thank you for your help, though! I appreciate it!

One workaround i found is making a playlist with all the songs on the device and skip all other audio files, but this is annoying and takes a lot of time...
try using A_C S2P AND S2U2
S2P will only detect play/pause. It will not detect track forward/backwards.
iam also looking for this solution on my omnia 2 with sense 2.5, went to the registry with no luck
Another option is to hide all folders you don't want SENSE to scan. Read more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5504259
I have the same problem... I can't believe HTC didn't think about this issue!
In old version of windows mobile a dummy "ignore_my_docs" file use to do the trick.
Don't know if it is still effective in wm6 or if it works with the sense media player....
+1 i have the same question
The .nomedia works
This is what I did, I followed the advise of the .nomedia, but since windows does not allow a nameless file I created a "a.nomedia" and pasted into the folder I wanted to exclude.
Then with ES File Explorer in the phone I did a rename and removed the "a". It worked like a charm!! Now I can use HTC Sense Music and no third party.
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
The .nomedia worked however how do i remove it if I wanted to?
Hidden file?
Es file explore doesn't find it
