I have played WMA files on my MDA and I thought on my Wing. However, yesterday, I could not play any WMA files on my wing. I continually get an error code that it is not recognizable file. 'Player: Audio codec (Windows Media Auido) not suported by the player.)
I have checked all file associations and it still will not play. I have tried TCPMP 72RC1 and 81RC1. Is there a better player out there? I don't really like Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC 10.3. Any suggestions or fixes? Thanks in advance.
That is probably a question for the developers

Hi All,
First post from a real novice. I have just got an xda 2 and am trying to copy a couple of movie clips from my pc to the mobile device.
Some copy and some do not. I have downloaded Pocket TV and
Pocket MVP and highlighted both, separately, when trying to copy in explorer. Every time I get an error message. This is the second half of one of the files I am trying to copy:
My Documents\Audi Pictures\hendrixTTad.mpeg.mpg
Appreciate any help in advance.
Have you tried playing them through the inbuilt windows media player version 9. What is the nature of the error, is it when you are copying the files ot attempting to play them?

When I am in Media Player (9) on my desk top in the 'Copy to CD or Device section' - I hit copy and it comes up 'An Error occurred' on the text of the file. It doesn’t even start to copy etc. The file plays perfectly well on the desktop media player.
Thanks
try to drag and drop the file using file explorer.

Nice one! I copied the file to my documents in the xda on my lap top and it worked.
Then when I went to Pocket TV it was there ready to go.
A couple of quick questions: 1) What is the quickest way to get to 'My Documents' on the xda 2?
Where exactly are these mpegs stored as I can only view them when I'm in Pocket TV?
Thanks again.
my advice is to use pockettv it's a better player then wmp9

I like pockettv, but it only seems to play mpegs. Is this the case?
It seems that I have to watch mpegs in Pockettv, Microsoft files in Media player and AVI's won't play in either. I got Pocket divx, but it won't play any file with sound. It keeps comming up with an audio error and invariably crashes. Am I doing something wrong here or is there a one for all solution?> Thanks.
Take care of the codecs used for audio / video
When you create files for the ppc, you have to make sure, that you use only codecs for the audio / video part, that are supported by the players / device.
Check http://www.mathiaspohl.de/mda for a short "How to" guide about the creation of divx or WMV files for the pocket pc.
If your file cannot be played by the media player, just re-encode this like described on this page.
regards,

@ seamo
sounds to me like your running the ppc2002 version on ppc2003 mate
get the pocket mpv ppc2003 version works great
My voicemail-emails have attached GSM compressed wav files.
Of course that's good because uncompressed files would be much too large, but how can I playback those files?
Can I somehow download additional wav codecs for the pocketpc or is there a good player which can do it?
You only get those MP3 file players and nothing else...
I've tried BetaPlayer (pretty good divx player) which supports wav files, and I get the message "Audio Codec not found".
Problem solved
I just noticed that the WAV file was added to my pocket outlook notes since I put it in the My documents folder.
It can be played as an outlook note.
However, strange that pocket windows media player and other players don't support it.
windows media player dont support any non ms format apart from mp3
and this goes for both audio and video
dont know the format so i cant help i would prob search around for as many players i could using google looking for that feature if i were you
otherwise i suppose you can find a converter for the pc wihtout too much problems
Hi,
I was thinking that I understood well my QTEK S100 and I was happy but .......
Now ...... This very strange litle thing happen and I really don't know how nor why .....
My S100 doesn't play anymore the mp3 files as ringtones. The one I always use is still there in the right folder but doesn't work, just no sound. All the wav files and mid files works but none of my mp3.
I still can play my mp3s from my mp3 player but not anymore as ringtone.
An idea ? Help please, it's very frustrating
I don't understand and I have done nothing
You have installed a music player or any other software that makes itself the default player for MP3 files.
You need to uninstall that program or use a 3rd party program (this is one of them http://tillanosoft.com/ce/ptweak.html) to restore the mp3 file association back to WMP10.
MP3 ringtones will only work if WMP10 is the default player!
cool, thanks for the link, i have a problem with playing video's i record with my phone, .avi's are unknown on it so i guess if i associate them with wmp that that'd fix my issue.
thanks
Thanks
Many thanks, it works very well !

I'm not sure if wmp can play AVI. I use TCPMP (ex Beta Player) for DivX and AVI. It's a free program as well. Here's the link to download: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1080
I downloaded some movies off of bit torrent and the files are in mvb form and wont work in windows media player, only real player. Anybody know how I can get them to work on my 8125 in windows? Thanks in advance.
Everytime i drag and drop my avi videos onto my storage card and try to play it (either in TCPMP of WMP), my phone says something about unknown file format. It normally works when I sync with WMP, but sometimes i lose the connection..? What can i do?

Sounds strange, could be a codec problem? Try turning off file conversion in ActiveSync

The problem may just be in TCPMP settings. Go to options/settings/file associations, and check the box by video (AVI)
ive tried both, and they only seem to play through syncing with WMP...is it because i just renamed them from .rmvb to .avi? the others i did this too work fine

Are you on WM6 or WM5 ?
On wm6, the wm9 codecs have different names....
Or other thing that can be, is your codecs used for creating those video
What software do you use to convert the videos ?
im in wm6. is that the problem? and if so, how can u fix it/downgrade back to wm5? and i use WMP to sync and convert, it used to work a while ago

I don't think that's the problem afterall.
The Windows Media Player should play those files that you can't play in tcmp
anyway the fix for missing wmv9 codecs :
I don't remember the link, but do a search on the forum and you'll find 2 codecs for wmw9 wich you have to copy in the windows folder
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
you mean the windows folder on my phone, right?
P.S. still wont work, just copied files into windows folder. not even TCPMP can play it, and u have to pay for the newer version . Shouldi just go back to WM5 so it's easier?
