Hi guys,
I installed nwsPlayer and it showed up on the pop up in Select Viewer" I unistalled it reinstalled it and now it's not coming up. Only "Movies, RealPlayer, ES File Explorer". I'm using TVersity UPnP sever and I'm having trouble playing FLV files in Real Player or the stock media player, but nwsplayer played them the first time I had it installed.
Can anyone suggest how to get the swsPlayer back into the "Select Viewer" List?
Thanks in advance!
Eyecon plays the file, even though not full screen

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?
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!
Whenever I use gmote I can play back video on my pc, but not on my phone. The message I keep getting says "gmote is unable to find an android application to play this file type". Is this a limitation of gmote or do I need a media player with codecs for the phone? If I do need a media player what should I be using?
Thanks ahead of time
Test with .mp4 videos.
I am having the same issue on my Fascinate. Keep trying different conversions, but can't get any videos to play.
I uninstalled vplayer app now im unable to play videos on my phone through gmote. Ive installed qqplayer and meridian player but I get the "unable to find an android application to play this file type" can anyone help?
What video types are they?
its all file types. Ive tried reinstalling gmote. what would b e the best media player to install to use with gmote??
i dont think this has been addressed in another post but if it has im sorry. anyways the solution for this problem for my was installing mx player + codecs from the market. gmote streams to my phone fine now.
Ok, here is the deal. I got my new Evo, love it. I installed a video player to it and it was horrible!, so I un-installed it. The problem is that I now have no application associated with wmv.
I have checked in Astro, there is an entry for wmv.
* If I click on a wmv in astro I get the message "file type wmv not found".
* if I long press on the file and 'Open As' I can choose video and it opens in the default video player and looks spectacular I might add!. There is also no option for "use as default" from this menu choice.
* If I create a shortcut pointing to the wmv file and then select it to open, I get the message "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone".
I have been through the list of applications installed and looked for the "Launched by default" option and can't find any entries for the video. I believe it is because the application has been removed???
Is there a simple way to restore or point wmv files back to the default video player? I may at some point install a new/different/better video player, but for now I would be thrilled with making the default one open the files.
Really? I kinda figured I would have 30+ reply by now. Maybe this is an impossible task?
Settings>Applications>Manage apps and open Camera (both if you have two) and tap the 'Clear defaults' and videos would be unassociated. Then you can re-associate the videos by checking the 'use by default for this action' and choseing 'Movies'
Tasks, tried that with no change in results. Any other ideas?
You should look at other apps cabable of playing videos and clear defaults, but ONLY for these apps, or else you can mess up something.
If it not works then backup everything and reflash(or ask some pro guys ;-)
Hi! I want HTC Video Player to be deault video player (instead of TCPMP) but I couldn't make it happen. I choosed it to be default in "open with" dialog in file explorer, but after that when I click on a video file nothing happens. Yesterday before I did this change, it could play some video files but now it doesn't. I like this tiny player, it looks handy to me. How can I make it play video files by default?
Open TCPMP. Options-Settings-Select Page-File Associations.
Remove ticks from videos you are interesting of.
I think I got it fixed, thanks Fighter. I'll have you a beer next time you're in Turkey .
