Hello Sirs.
trying since a while.
Apollo does not show any media files. It states (in German) something like "use an USB cable to download media files from your computer"
VLC shows the files with index picture, however crashes when I try to play them. Sometimes it ends with no message, sometimes it just shows (again in German) "VLC stopped".
The media files are flv and mp4 format. I copied them from my linux machine via USB in MTP modus.
The target folder was Music or Movies
The Galery App (Google Video Player) can at least play those mp4 files, so i believe, this is not an issue of file format and/or codec.
My phone runs the falcon M6 snapshot and has no google apps installed.
This problem occured for me in the earlier Snapshots as well.
is there a dedicated log directory on android and CM like /var/log/ that I could check for relatetd errors?
Any hint?
best regards
Frytz

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 tried to look this up but I cannot find an answer. This is my problem:
I do not have a dock. I connect USB to my PC. I try to copy an avi file to the tabled SD. I get a warning that the avi file will not play once copied.... and yes, it does not play.
I share a folder on my PC and I connect using the same program (Archos) on the tablet to the share. The same avi file plays no problem over wifi. I try to copy over wifi from PC to tablet, same problem.
I tried both the SD and the internal memory.
I took the SD out and used it with a data writer on the PC.
One time, a few months ago, but I do not remember what I did, I was successful. Those 3 movies are on the SD card and they play, so it should not be the SD card.
If anybody has any idea, I would much appreciate. Thank you.
I've played avi videos with BSplayer free without any issues. I also use AirDroid to transfer files from my computer to my tablet.
I'm it familiar with the software you are using but perhaps it's time to try something different

I am sure that the tf700 can handle avi files easily. Have you tried the following players (available for free on Google Play Store): Dice Player, MX Player, BS Player? All of these video players can handle almost anything.

Thanks for responding. Considering that I can play anything with the same player, on the tablet, from a share on the PC, I think the player has nothing to do with it. Also, the message that it will not play is given by Windows explorer, which should not know what player I am going to use.
What are you guys using to copy the files from PC to tablet? Windows Explorer or something else?
Thank you.

I seriously believe that there is something wrong with your Windows driver for the tablet. I just simply follow a very standard procedure:
1. Connect the tablet to a PC with Windows Vista or later (which fully support MTP) using the USB cable.
2. Navigate to the tablet's internal storage using Windows Explorer and paste the videos you want to play. The warning saying that your device may not be able to play the files is really irrelevant, you can ignore it and proceed to copy. The reason for that warning is because MTP assumes that your tablet cannot play avi files, and all Android devices using MTP will have this annoying alert.
3. Use the player suggested in previous posts to play. I must disagree with you regarding the role of players, especially when certain players have better support for Tegra 3 SoCs than others, hence the need for different video players. More importantly, avi is just a container, the important thing is the codec being used (h.264, MPEG-4, etc...). For example, a h.264 high profile video at 40 Mbps in an mp4 container is unplayable on my HTC Sensation even though mp4 is officially supported by my phone.
In all seriousness, it should be as simple as that. If it still doesn't work, you should try using a different Windows machine.
I get that message for literaly everything I copy to my TF700 and my SGS3 through Windows Explorer: .avi, .jpg, .bmp, .png, .mp4, .mp3, .srt, .doc, .txt, .wmv....
I use MXplayer (primary), BSplayer(secondary) and Diceplayer(tertiary) : They all play it fine. You get that error message in Windows because Android's stock player doesn't recognise the file when it's placed in the file manager. (duh, it's incomplete during transfer). Just hit 'yes to all'.
Try playing it with another app. Frankly other videoplayers are also far more advanced than the rather crappy stock app. Those three ^ play everything.

Have an external USB harddrive connected via the "Paragon USB stick plugin" for Total commander.
Mplayer plays all movies with one exception: Recorded TV in wtv format files.
The same files play fine when I copy them to the SD card, they play fine also via the "LAN plugin" for Total commander.
They even play with VLC player even via this "Paragon USB stick plugin" for Total commander.
So the problem is only the combination of MX-Player and this specific plugin. I will report this problem also to them if you suggest this.
I attached a zip with the log files.
With kind regards

Wow, that is a unique issue. @bleu8888 if you have any insight into this.

Look like a network related issue
Total commander forwards a local host address to mx player i.e video url is like http://127.0.01:port/****
According to the logs, H/W decoder reverted with error since it's unsupported format. But, I can't find any error from ffmpeg (which will appear when S/W fails to decode).
So, in my view logs look like incomplete. But, developer may get some clue from your logs
Can you reproduce the issue & collect the logs again?

Yes sure. I attached again a log. But it will not make much difference. MX Player - after asking if the file should be started from begin or where I left it off - is just showing the round hour glass - and this forever. However I can click on the screen, I see that the SW Decoder is running. Then I click to create the LOG file. HW decoder is not available for these "wtv" files.
I uploaded such a wtv file to my google drive. Here is the link for you:

it's 2022 and im running android 12 on google pixel 3, having a similar issue with this 'exfat/ntfs for usb' plugin, but it's worse than yours because with whatever video file type total commander doesnt recognize mx player as a media player at all, i tried mp4, mkv, mov none of them can be open both via total commander and within mx player interface, meanwhile other available players like google photos, mixplorer, f-stop gallery, etc. all appeared in pop-up menu to choose which one to play video with;
anyone has idea how to make this thing get recognized by total commander? i would really appreciate your help, thank you

some of the third-party app are using their own drivers to mount the even unsupported filesystems. Those mount points can't be accessed directly by the other apps. So, it may not be detected by MX Player.
Can you do the following to collect a bug report for us?
Install MX Log collector
Connect the HDD & Open MX Player
When it crashes, immediately open MX Log Collector & save the logs.
Share it here or upload it anywhere like Google Drive / Dropbox and share the links.
I am using MX player on my Mi TV stick for a while and I am vey satisfied - it is only player that is flawless in reproduction of anything - but now, for the first time I tried to play video files from my Windows shared folder and that does not work - whatever I try to play (AVI, MKV, MP4...), I am keep getting error "Can't play this link" (I roughly translated message form my native language because MX works on my hardware in my language which is not English ).
Same files plays well from local internal storage in MX Player and also from the same shared folder in VLC player - so it is not due to file formats or sharing folder content. But I can't use local internal storage due to lack of space and I don't want to use VLC for this playing from shared folders because I have tons of problems with audio delays in VLC while MX player plays everything perfect - except content from shared folders...
I am using latest version of MX Player for Android TV from Google playstore - 1.34.5 (ARMv7 NEON) - standard (non-pro) version that can be run on Android TV stick/box etc.
Can you please advise me what to do to fix this problem? Or this is a bug inside MX player? If it is, I hope it can be fixed because I really like this player and looking forward to use it on my shared content too...
Thanks in advance for help.
1,you can choose your language as you wish in option side.
2,please get into the "decode" options, check the "SW(local)" and "SW(netword)"(may be like this.), Then restart the MXPlayer, maybe you can play it. (that may be a bug, you can uncheck the options after the SMB plays well.)
