Hi there --
I'm trying to help my wife with a really strange Windows Media Player problem.
She has four videos on her phone (T-Mobile MDA). One video is a WMV recorded using the camera, in mp4 format. The other three are MPEGs converted to WMVs using Windows Movie Maker in WinXP.
To a first order, all the videos play fine. However, if she plays the captured video, THEN tries to play one of the converted videos, she will get a blank screen. If you go to the "task manager", and kill WMP, you can play the converted videos again, until the next time you play the captured video.
The symptom is a completely blank screen. Sound plays fine, and the cursor moves across like the video is playing, but no video.
Has anyone else seen this symptom?
Thankx!
imho them wmp is not a really good player
i would try winamp if that also do it
you can narrow it down to
a codec issue
or a video card driver issue
This does sound like a codec issue. Personally I don't recommend using WMP on your phone or on your desktop.
Instead download the free TCPMP. It supports many formats and has a wide verity of options to control playback, performance and memory usage.

codec?
I'm definitely going to have my wife try the other media player, thanks.
A codec may be involved, but there clearly has to be something else at foot: the problem arises across individual playing sessions. All the videos play, if you start from a fresh WMP. The faulty interaction only comes up if you play a video *from the phone* first. Totally weird.
So it sounds like no one else has seen this...
the stock video gallery in android doesnt have names for thumbnail videos. is there a way to name your thumbnail videos to differentiate them from other videos?
Sorry its a noob question ... I added .jpg to the format section hoping to get a video and picture slide show. But the pictures just show up for less then a second Is there any way to have such a "mixed" playback like Windows Mediaplayer or my Sony HX Cam does ??
I don't think MX Player can do that unfortunately, since the developer's focusing on video playback enhancements.
Hello all, Ive searched for answers to this but I cant find any, on my device my music player is recognizing all files including some ringtones and video files, and this seems to happen regardless of the music player I install. I have tried the .nomedia file in the video folder and that works but it also hides all video files from all the video players on my phone like mxplayer and the stock video player, my question is what can i do to hide video files from my music player, while keeping the video files intact for video player and gallery? Thanks for your help
Hello,
Can you give me ideas for app or player that can play video files and pictures.Idea is for slideshow that will be played on android box but in this slideshow will have video files and pictures files.
