I am currently running dcd 2.3.2 and am getting the error "storage memory too low" then the video stops. I have 89.7 megs of free storage device memory and 19 megs of free ram. I also have a 4 gb storage card. I have run many rom images and not had this problem. I love this rom for the speed of the gps lock and the fact that this is the first rom that my device does not ever lock up in stand by mode. TCPMP player plays very choppy video. Is there away to fix WMP or fix the choppiness of TCPMP and set it as default player in outlook.
If You Are Running Oxios Close Apps Then Thats The Problem With Wmp And To Fix Tcpmp Just Change The Video Settings To Raw Frame Buffer

Playback on Windows Media Player breaks up (durng buffering) probably due to the slowness of WM50 reading from memory (my MP£ files on fast storage card). Running latest O2 ROM.
Any suggesions?
Try to reformat the card. Don't leave Media player is pause mode when you use PowerSave with a file open on the SD card - others have reported problems with this scenario
Hi,
Tried to search for this but couldn't find it anywhere. Basically, as I use the apps on my JAMin day to day, I find that the free Program memory is continually dropping (and the 'in use' level is rising). I use the device mainly for playing MP3 (via WMP10), reviewing some Word documents (size of any new ones loaded is taken into account before complaining about losing space!), syncing with my Outlook calendar, phone calls, SMS and playing some games. I have not connected to the Internet to date. Even after simply playing music for 45-60 minutes I can see that the free program memory has reduced from what it was before I started playing the music!
Turning the device off then on clears this back (I usually have around 24Mb free). I installed Memmaid thinking this would identify the temporary files and clear them, however it only seems to pickup a few kB (though I only have the trial version loaded at present - is the trial version a full version, or could there be functionality missing?).
Any advice as to where this space is going, the file names or locations, etc. would be much appreciated. I'd like to find either an app that clears this space up properly, or to find where the files are so that I can clear them out myself as needed, without having to turn the device off.
At present, the only apps I have loaded onto the device are:
SPB PocketPlus
SPB ToPlay
Superdoku
Memmaid
I think Windows Media Players eats memory too much, just usless. I compared it with another Music Player such as GS player which is one of the best freely available music player. The WM10 ate abt 15 MB of memory for just playing an MP3 while on GS player it ate just 2.5 MB.
Maybe you can use attached program to find out which folder is creeping up with info...
The above program will only show you where your storage memory is. What the OP wanted to know is where his program memory is going.
I think its more or less a "feature" of Windows Mobile that as you open and close apps and work more and more on it, it will continually eat up ram. This is a gradual process and while I start with 24mb ram in the morning, I have around 17-18mb free by night time.
If you have a program installed which has a memory leak, this figure might be lower.
I have my device set to backup each night so it soft resets at night after the backup. This makes my phone fresh for the day with full program memory free.
A soft reset every now and then when you find your program memory low is a good idea. Other than that, there's not much you can do.
There are some programs which claim to free up some RAM, like Memmaid's Free up RAM program or SKTools's Clean Up Memory. These help to a very short extent...I find it better just to soft reset. Memmaid's program hardly works, while SKTools' program usually manages to free up around 2mb or something, although it takes a long time.
I was going to write what PhoenixAG wrote. clap for him.
Storage memory is no problem but Program memory is a problem. And soft reseting is better then adding those programs to your mobile.
Try changing your mp3 player from WM10. it just leaks memory
I recall reading somewhere that it ws a good idea to do a soft reset on smart phones/PDAs every week or so anyway, so I guess I'll just keep doing that.
Now, to open a can of worms, what is a good MP3 player to replace WMP10 with? Probably no great free/shareware ones out there I suppose......
Thank you.
Regarding mp3 players, I haven't used my Prophet as an mp3 player because I have an iPod.
But I remember on my old Axim X30, I used to use Pocket Player...although that program was quite resource intensive, if I remember correctly. I have heard good things about Pocket Music too.
Other than that, I have no clue
Easy - just use Mortplayer - free and very useful, and you can put a skin that looks like an Ipod
how can i remove WMP10 ?
is there a good replacement for moves files ?
TCPMP is the best for both audio and video files, its freeware and u can download a lot of plugings like FFMPEG, VORBIS and AC3
hope this helps
Oh yeah, I forgot about TCPMP. I don't have a dedicated music player installed so I let TCPMP handle any audio files I have. And it handles Video excellently of course.
Overall, its an amazing software and its free. What more do you want?
I use TCPMP for videos as it is the best at what it does, i.e. play videos.
However I find Mortplayer better for mp3's, more features, playlist, multiple equaliser settings, and the skins and especially car skins make it much more user-friendly.
And yeah, it's free.
I have Mortplayer installed too and as u said skins are nice, buttons are big (i use steel skin) but if are short of memory u may want to use only one player thats why i offered TCPMP.
Anyway both are good players
I have ATOM with the latest ROM. From last 1-2 days, Media Player have started showing error message whenever I try to play movie or songs. initially when playing music, player started jumping from one song to the next after playing particular song for 4-5 seconds. Now when playing movie or song after 5-6 seconds Media Player shows following message " Not enough storage is available to complete this operation". I uninstalled the spb phone plus, the only program I had in the program memory to create more memory thinking it must be leading to memory crash. No but the problem still remains. I than reflashed the latest ROM to my ATOM....but the problem remained the same with the Media Player. showing the same error message on the screen and it stops playing the song or movie.
Is this a typical problem faced by me or is it common. Kindly suggest the solution. This happens even when playing from Media Center. Please help.

Check the song/video bitrate. Song Bitrate better below 320kbps, video is 600-700kbps or below. If higher than these, will occur some error. the video resolution also had to fixed at 320x240 or below.
If the problem still remain, hard reset it then reflash. then try play the video or song without install any program.
Songs Bitrate are below 320kbps and same is with the Video. But still I get error. I Installed third party player "Pocket Player" and TCPMP to play music files and Videos. and they are perfect no problem. I have even tried after reflashing the ROM but problem remains. Can a ROM become corrupted. Should I redownload from site and install. Kindly suggest.
Same problem here. Plenty of RAM, plenty of Space on the 8GB card. bit rate 128kbs. Not sure what the problem is with WMP, will try and install other audio player.
hi. everytime i play an mp3/wav that's stored on my storage card, windows media player gives me an error message 10 seconds into the song. it says "not enough storage is available to complete this operation." I have a 2 GB storage card that is only 9% full, my program memory has 20MB free and my phone storage is 22MB.. when i copy the song to the main memory, windows media player plays the song without a hitch. any suggestions?
thanks,
I am recieving the same error on my Windows Mobile phone (VW 6800, DCD 3.04, WM 6.1)
I also have a 2 GB storage card, I have MP3's at various bitrates and get the same error. I have tried a soft-reset, have 27 MB of free ram, and I still get this error.
When I use coreplayer, I can play the music without issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

This usually means that your system (Wing)is trying to allocate more memory than is available on your device.
Now yes you may have a 2gig mem card and your Program memory may have 20MB free but if you have too many running programs and you try to load an Mp3/Wav file, your system is trying to actually load more memory than you actually have, thus giving you an error! Try to stop some of the running programs on your phone and est out the Mp3, if it works then we found the issue, if not then let me know so I can try and come up with any other possible solutions.
I'm having the same problem.
i tried closing all programs, and using Oxios to free up more RAM. didn't work. i have an 8GB SD Card.
what does "est out the Mp3" mean?
Have you guys tried using another media player, like TCPMP? It works better with MP3s for me.
Please answer, if you can
I get this with some files, too. It's not a memory problem--19 MB free program memory and 60 MB free program memory plus gigabytes of flash, only the programs involved running. I'm using Windows Media Player 10 on Windows Mobile 6 Pro. I've got a dictionary that links to audio pronunciation files via "file:\\" style internal URLs. Tap the link, an IE window pops up, then Windows Media Player, and then the file starts playing in WMP. The handoff doesn't work with TCPMP, Core Player, or any other media player I've tried except WMP (they can't interpret the path to the file properly, no matter how I adjust the registry). So I have to use WMP. Each file is about 8 kb or smaller, and there are thousands of them. 98% work perfectly, but 2% cause this error message to pop up a few seconds into the clip. Files that work always work, and files that bring up the error always bring up the error. So the problem IS in the mp3 files themselves. The busted files work on other media players (if accessed directly--as stated, though, links from the dictionary work only in WMP). File verification programs (e.g., checkfile, the verification function in foobar) find nothing wrong, but when I back up files with Retrospect Express HD, SOME of the broken files (but not all of them) show up in the .dat log of the backup as "doesn't compare." Only the files with the problem show up that way.
I hope that's enough info. My implementation may be different but it seems like the same problem, so if someone can help me it should help the OP as well. Please let me know if you need more info.
Try this:
With WMP closed, in File Explorer, go to:
\Storage Card\MSMETADATA\
Delete the file: XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
Re-sync with WMP on the desktop to rebuild the XMEMediaLibrary.mlb file. That fixed it for me.

Crazy
I have a 4GB card and about 500 MP3s & WMA on it and have never had that problem. I think the closing other programs would help. Some times I get that when I am playing music and try to launch my camera. That annoys me the most. Especially when I there is a perfect picture opportunity and I have to restart my phone. Sorry for going off the subject but that urks me.
so, I came across a problem with tcpmp a few weeks ago where the program wouldn't play video at a decent frame rate when installed to the phone storage.
which I find strange as I would have thought that running the program and reading the video from the same source would result in slow down its self!
so my question is, is the internal storage more slow than the memory card and if so could the storage of sms be moved to the sd card for speed improvements.
if this is the case then lots of other things could also be moved to the sd card!
your thoughts ?
hmmm
nobody interested in this?
I would hazard a guess that this is because the phone is running the player from the same source as the video is stored, so it can only access either the program, or the video file at any one time, not both together, so it accesses the system for a second, then the video, then the system, then the video,,, but if the video is on the card, it can access the system and the video at the same time.
that's the point
ill be more through
if the program is installed to the phone storage ie tcpmp installed to phone memory, then when you play a video it jogs! very low fps.
now if you installed the program to the memory card, which is where the video is stored also then its played a full fps
it is much much faster, so this either tells you the memory card can read files quicker than the phone storage or there is a problem with the phone storage talking to main memory.
that's my point! sms takes an age to load if you have more 20 message on the same thread. moving these messages to the storage card permanently may increase loading times of each thread.
try it your self with tcpmp you will get what I mean, the videos I'm using are dvd rips in avi format
