Hello
i used pocketdivxencoder to create .avi files for my XDAExec. tcmp plays it without a problem however when i use windows media player t play the files i get the message
"cannot play back the file. the format is not supported". why does it come back with this mesage?
it could be cos your using a divx encoder try tcpmp found athttp://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download
thanks for the reply
you mean to say tcpmp can play divxencoded fiels whereas wmp can't?
pretty much
ah ha
is there any coder which i can install in the XDA Exec which will enable WMP to play avi's
something like tsunami

I don't think there is at this point in time, wmp is very limited compared to the PC counterpart
tcpmp i think is the best codec about for any xda device, plays pretty much all file types....... and screen res is amazing when watching movies.

thanks for the replies dudes
microsoft should wisen up and release a new version of wmp
they won't 'wisen up' as you put it due to the fact that they want to promote thier own codec (WMA & WMV)

Is it possible to download codecs from the internet for your pocket pc just like your home pc, as some video files i have copied onto my xda ii will not play, if so what is the best site to get these from?
Thankyou, as always!
Whats file types are you using.
Pocket TV plays MPEG's very nicely.
Also try MVP for other types including XviD's.
You will have to Google for them as I don't have the adresses
I use this DivX player (Mpeg4), don't know if it works with WM player.
Is that the codec Bob?
Yes, it is.
I compressed .avi file using DivX ;-) MPEG4 Fast/Low-Motion with Hero Video Convert and was able to play it on my MDA
but having the codec will not make mediaplayer play anything but
ms's own formats plus mp3
to play anything else mediawise you need 3th party players
If you need to play divx you should try BetaPlayer at http://beta.topcat.hu/ , it's amazing how fast the decoding is, I can see no differences with a divx played on a PC (feeding it with a 320x240 movie of course)..
Yes BetaPlayer is pretty good : very stable with good decoding capabilities definitely the way to go to read Mpeg4 on your PPC
does anybody know where to find vlc player ppc.... the official site doesn't offer anymore... if you have it then please give me...
I've read that it's highly unstable. You can get the last draft here:

If you're looking for a video player, I'd recommend TCPMP very strongly. For audio, MortPlayer (for various reasons such as supports more than wmv/mp3, has built-in screen sleep mode and button mapping, is easy to re-skin).
What was your intended use for VLC?
I agree TCPMP is a great player, used it for a long time on my ipaq, and now on my wizard, just works great
Myrddin wyllt,.. I was kinda looking for good decoders for live streaming. I love to watch live tv over wifi, watching anime, basketball, news and etc... though wmp, tcmp, streaming video, core player, or even the mplayer ( doesn't support sound with wma streaming) don't offer that much decoders.. like rstp: streaming 3gp or mms streaming mp4... and I'm even hoping that there would be a divx stream for ppc! I wish.
I had all but lost hope for this... but then I heard that vlc ppc was also able to stream video... I was hoping that it would support all decoders.. IF NOT I"ll just copy the Plugins from the VLC (PC VERSION) then put in the vlc ppc directory...
IF i came up with an error in vlc streaming then i'll try copying the plugins... though i don't know if it will work or not? But who knows.
Though if i made some mistakes, please please correct me (thats the only way i'll learn)
I HAVE GOOD DAY!
Thumb Up! TCPMP and MortPlayer!
If you want to stream 3GP through RTSP/HTTP, just use the HTC Streaming Media.
For wma streaming...why don't you use WMP?

WMP supports all lot but sometimes it doesn't work, Audio works but no video... and in mplayer support video but no wma....
BTW... IS htc streaming media the same as streaming media... I downloaded a WM6 rom onto my 8125 and got a streaming media software with it... IS IT the same as htc streaming media or an upgraded version?...

If you're looking for a Divx stream, DIVX.COM now has a mobile player. I haven't tested it that much, but the desktop version will play almost anything I throw at it!

VLC Player for PPC
Hi, am looking out for a ppc player which could play .VOB formats without conversion. I believe VLC Player can do the job. TCPMP is not supporting VOB. Help anyone? thanks.
just buy core player. it is really worth it.

Yeah. There is only VLC Remote wich allows u to control VLC running on your pc/Mac via your PPC. And VLC Remote is only for WebOS (as i could find).

are these «nightly's» automatically generated by some software daily? if not, then who's posting them? or rather, wth are they? I cant figureout how to install them. whatever this vlc for winmo is, not holding my breath for it. I just wish vlc for android gets released soon, as it was announced last month but is still nowhere to be found. all I need is the ability to time stretch (fast playback speed at normal pitch/tone), but so far there's still no mobile programthat can do this on either WinMo or Android. sigh..
i remember just dragging n dropping avi movies on my Blackberry bold ..i can just play the movie and enjoy it.
but on X1..the Windows media player says 'cannot play the file'
why?
isnt it supposed to be more friendly with such formats?
NO..i am not willing to pay for a software just to play a world famous .avi format.
avi
simple answer is NO you can not play avi's out of box. you have a couple options....either re-encode the video to another format or dl a different player. I like coreplayer and i know alot of other people like it as well. some people just get the divx player but you have to know what was used to encode the video as avi is only the container file and not the encoder.
most of my videos are DivX encoded...
so is it possible to install DivX codec on X1 and then play those files?
really sad but..i thot i can just drag n drop the movies on my mSD and watch
yeah using coreplayer or TCPMP
not sure if the codecs works with windows mobile media player though
but those 2 players does the job
Okay thanks a lot for the quick response guys.
i got hold of Coreplayer....just wanted to try.
it works..i just dragged n dropped some TV shows and movies ..and they work fine
i have yet to see such an awesome clarity on a mobile phone.
this is even better than bold because i can see the movies in widescreen and the contrast is superb
Hi All,
I have tried searching for MP4 and AVI in the forums, but search results came up with nada.
Can someone please assist me with the BEST movie player for the Touch HD and how to encode the files?
I am currently using Slysoft CloneDVD Mobile. I selected Windows Smartphone as my encoding template, loaded the DVD, and built the AVI file. All went good.
I then copied it across to my Touch HD and tried to play it in WMP but get an error "Cannot play file" without any further details.
Any ideas people?
TIA
Sounds like a missing codec problem to me. i had the same with playing xvid movies. i use tcpmp player now instead of wmp, but am looking for a nicer prog.
I find Coreplayer to be the best using the DivX converter set to Mobile for compressing. It will compress most files and even convert AC3 files for use.
The playback is smooth whereas the actual DivX mobile and old TCPMP players seem to have a 1 second slight glich in playback (shown when a video is panning across a scene).
I have also found that if you use a File Explorer with Network access such as Resco Explorer, you can set the default player to be Coreplayer and play these files from any Network drive. I use an ASUS WLHDD2.5 small wireless hard drive with 100Gb capacity and can store loads of Music, movies and photos on it.
Ensure that Coreplayer can actually play the file type first or an error will occur.
Map your Network drive in Resco Explorer (follow the distructions..)
Select and hold the file to play in Resco, select open, Open with and then select Coreplayer.
Viola.
you might want to try the blackstone video encoding gui (search on this forum) to convert movies to mp4 and then play them via windows media player or tf3d video player. To date, those two players are the only ones capable of playing video using hardware acceleration
I use MP4forHD encoder software. Very good and clip quality very good. Playback using default Album player that comes with THD.

Try the attached CorePlayer 1.3.0. No need to encode files, it reads them all, works perfectly. Enjoy.

No acceleration though, so you have to encode to much lower quality.

Sorry, but main problem is that CorePlayer will not play movies with AC3 sound (5.1). A lot of new movies have 5.1 sound.
blabla
i love and hate AC3 at the same time
hi, have you seen this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474955
its a handy little prog that makes very good conversion and plays exellently in the htc player.
yes yes

And do you have 5 ears with 5 headphones?
What is the point for having 5.1 on a mobile device, it's not like you can output to TV anyways.
The point is to watch existing movies with AC3 soundtracks without spending hours to reconvert them first.
Hi
I know there are a few video player out there like divx, core player and the media player itself. What I usually watch at home are
avi files, mkv, real player, not much of mp4 unless I need to transcode them myself. Someone give me some idea what I will most likely to use or be able to read smoothly with the tp2. Thank you.
Not sure what you are asking
On my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 I use the stock media player that comes on the ROM.
For movies and downloaded videos I use the "Microsoft Zune" mp4 setting for videos.
For example, on my DVD movies I have used Slysofts "AnyDVD" and CloneDVD Mobile for converting my movies into a format that will play on my TP2.
The Slysoft Clone DVD Mobile has various encoders you can select, depending on the device you have.
I spent a half day trying various settings because "Touch Pro2" was not one of the available settings. I eventually found that "Microsoft Zune (MP4)" works perfect.
Not sure if I can provide links, so just Google "Slysoft CloneDVD mobile" and the site will come up.
Hope that helps.
Sidenote: Windows WMV format also plays on the TP2 but as you might suspect the quality is horrible and it lags big time.

What? WMV is usually better quality for me.
