Video Playback Problem

I have an issue with videos on my Touch. Just recently I tried creating and watching a video for the first time. My photos and video folder is stored on my SD card.
I can record the video and it is in the right folder (the Touch can easily find it under videos), but whenever I try to play the video, Windows Media Player says "The source filter for this file could not be loaded".
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Nobody?

screw windows media, just install TCPMP

I second that and if you can, get the latest Core.

Yeah, I've got it installed and it does work for these files.
Any way to easily make TCPMP the default app instead of WMP?
I would like to know why WMP won't work though. It bugs me when something doesn't do as it should.

in TCPMP, go into settings > file assoc. and select the ones you want. as far as WMP, i'm sure there is a relatively simple fix, but at the end of the day, WMP is still a completely useless player.

Thanks! I'll go and check that out.
Edit: One more quick question for anyone that knows. Even though I associate TCPMP with .MP4 video files, when I use the cube and select videos and choose a video that I've recorded and hit play, the cube by default brings up WMP to play the video. There must be somewhere in the registry where I can change this to default to TCPMP for playback right?

Album audio playback gone all of a sudden

Hey there,
Since I get the best video experience playing back .mp4 in HTC album software. (so the same software it uses to playback on-device-recorded videos). But now there's no sound all of a sudden. I installed .net 3.5 recently could that be the issue? Anybody familiar with this?
hope to here from all of you soon!
It does work in coreplayer however. Though the overal playback is terrible here. Installing .net 3.5 didn't fix it.
Could it be some sort of codec issue? I think it's unlikely but still. The video recorded bij Touch HD is mp4 video and GSM 8800 or something like that for audio. With this file the audio isn't working, another mp4 file with AAC audio isn't working either in the HTC Album software. Both are mp4 .I264.

you get audio problems with the recorded mp4s only?

No also with converted mp4. These were xvid and Divx, then converted them to Ipod mp4 with winavi mp4 converter. This always worked like a charme. Now all of a suden it doesn't work anymore. the converted mp4's do have sound on mijn desktop plus recorded plus converted mp4's have sound in Coreplayer, so the files are not the problem i guess.

Mmm i don't think i've got the correct coreplayer. 0.72rc is not the most recent one? I read about v1.25 somewhere. How is mp4 playback with that. With my version it laggy plus pixelated. But 21 euros is bit to much for something i dont know will work. Anybody knows more about that?

So i called HTC Support, they suggested a Hard Reset. They said they never heard of the problem. I guess i'll be doing that then.

Same problem here :/
Have you done any tweak?
I've been using AdvancedConfig 3.3 in which, and have installed flashlite3.1.
I've been tweaking the AudioBooster with AC 3.3, while enabling 3D Sound and Bass. I've activated Prim_EQ_On on the registry to see what it does.
I have them all uninstalled (and 've restored default parameters in Advanced Config Before and in the registry) and the problem is still there. No audio on any mp4 which I can read with sound few days ago.
Cannot say exactly which modification did affect the sound codec in the album.
Also I've been looking in the registry and found that key :
HKLM\Software\HTC\StreamingDShow\DisableVolume (1)
Fixing it to 0 did not resolve anything.
I'm in the dark right now and think to hard reset
Did you do any tweak like I just quote? We could maybe find an explanation that way

Touch HD Movie Player - Best?

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

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.

TCPMP

Hi guys!
I have recently tried getting TCPMP to work on TP2. Without any luck.
Firstly there seemed to be a problem with it running on WinMo 6.1. That has however been fixed in a thead somewhere here on xda dev.
I have tried all three of these fixes, and while they managed to get TCPMP open after install (Not get the crash.txt msg), it caused the TP2 to crash when opening a video file (even when trying to run the video that comes with the phone (my documents -> movies)).
Anyone know of any other solutions? because i have been searching but havent found anything to get this working.
Cheers!

same problem to me, I can't even play the video recorded with my TP2. It just hang.

its special TCPMP thats, working here. I have this functional, if you want to post it, just let mi know.
JF

Make it so, please.

Why don't you use Coreplayer for playing movie clips?
I'm having not issues playing most types of movie file... Great player!

Probably because Coreplayer is not freeware.
TCPMP is the predecessor of Coreplayer

its here: http://www.digitwins.com/download/TCPMP-0.72RC1.zip
JF

No luck yet
Thanks for the link, but is this version working on yours? At least I was able to open a video file (mp4) without my TP2 crashing like it did with other recomps I've tried, but the image is all messed up with green lines and **** all over the place...

Sorry, Im not using TCPMP for viewing pics. Didnt noticed that. And Im not gonna use it fot it ;-)
JF

Hi there... i'm having problems to get work on tp2 a player that supports subtitles. Do you know anyone? Thank you very much.
Regards.

Coreplayer dont use in touch pro 2
Coreplayer dont use with processor touch pro 2. In the web of Coreplayer it ist possible reed.
Thank you and sorry for me english

I just use this app now works like a charm.
http://divx-player-mobile.en.softonic.com/pocketpc

It is not possible for me :
- Core player can't start, I don't see the app after pressing the icon
- TCPMP-0.72RC1 open, but the videos are not working, it crashes
Is it a problem of 3D driver or somethong like that?

Well I too am using Coreplayer and it works just fine. v1.3.2 build 6909 for ARM. Plays VGA .avi files perectly...

Had the same problem with TCPMP crashing until I unchecked "DirectDraw" in Video Settings (i.e. use GDI or Raw Frame Buffer).

twana, that is brilliant, I'd given up on TCMP having tried every version I could find.
Did you find out how to fix the blacked-out buttons in the toolbar?

Black buttons are caused by the theme you're using. And yes even HTC standard theme is causing this

Hello!
Thank you Twana, TCPMP works fine for me when I put "GDI" in the video settings!
It is great.

Thanks a lot.
Now my babies can watch toons on my rhodium!

coreplayer/tcpmp
Selecting gdi/rawframe buffer in video settings is a must. Also check tools -> preferences -> file associations if you want them to play aac mp4 etc it must be checked there.

Video not shown in HTC album

Hi,
I had a mp4 video encoded at 800*480 resolutions.
When i go to file manager and access the file directly it plays normally on the HTC album software itself, but when i navigate to HTC album is is nowhere to be found.
Can anybody tell me how i could make my video show on the HTC album itself so I can access it on HTC sense.
Thanks

Either put the video in one of the folders Album recognises (Videos, Pictures) or launch Album and press the Albums soft key to select the folder where the video is. I have several mp4 videos and they all show up.

I tried this but it doesn't work. It briefly shows "wrong" sign in an empty square when i select the video folder, then nothing at all ???
Any idea ?

I'm having an issue with HTC Album whereby recording videos works fine and their thumbnails are created but selecting the videos within HTC Album doesnt play them. Pictures can be viewed fine but not videos. Tried a soft reset which still doesnt do anything. Tried a hard reset which cured the problem then after a short while HTC Album refused to play the videos it created again only allowing me to tap on the video and then it just sits there not doing anything. Any help much appreciated.

I have same issue's. video's taken bij the camera no problem. Copied video's 800x480 for example the helicopter video, won't appear. others do!

Only MP4 & 3GP (H.264 AVC) videos encoded with the Baseline profile (using x264) will show up. H.264 videos encoded with the Main or High profile will briefly show up with an error and disappear when opening the Album or the folder they're in.
The Album can still play them though.
Or at least, that's what it does on my device. Camera videos are encoded using H.264 Baseline and AAC. Would like more input for that.
To fix, either open them manually (Use a file explorer, look for your video, open it with HTC Album (\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe)) or reencode your videos using the Baseline profile.

I'm not actually converting any types of videos for playback on HTC Album. The videos I'm referring to are the ones recorded by the HD2 camera itself and by default show up within HTC Album but refuse to play even though their thumbnails are present and visible.

I have the same problem as you are describing and wondered how I caused it. I have installed Core player and all the videos taken with the HD2 play without any problem.
I have changed some of the links in the program folder to suite my own preference but none of the links were broken. When I open a video via HTCAlbums, the screen goes landscape with a "loading" message showing, it also plays what just sounds like static.
Not sure what I might have loaded that is causing the problem, a couple of programs are "Change screen" and "hComber". I don't want to hard reset so I'll start by uninstalling these programs unless someone stumbles on to a fix??

Same here, records but does not play back. Has anyone found a fix.
Cheers

Same issue here. HD2 from T-Mobile Germany. This is ridiculous & very annoying.

I had this issue it was caused by the YouTube app I had installed, don't know if there is a fix.

Video playback not working
Did you ever fix your video problem?
I have same.
I can't play back video taken on my Fuze ever since I loaded a WinMo 6.5 ROM.
Dan

I am haveing the same problem,brand new htc wont play the videos i record at all any one found a fix.. really like everything else about the phone dont want to send it back becuase of this....

I also have this problem (or a very similar one). I can see the video files in HTC album, but pressing on it does nothing.
If anyone knows the cause or solution I would be very grateful.

Same here......I just returned from a week skiing in Italy, where I shot some videos of a nice girl dancing on the table outside at -5 degrees celsius wearing a mini skirt and a mini t-shirt
We were all packed in multiple layers of clothes and skiing outfits and we weren't really warm.
She must have had lots of 'schnapps', cause she didn't seem to be bothered with the cold
Anyway, I shot 3 videos, the first 2 display fine, but the 3rd just says 'Loading' and then nothing happens anymore.
1st video is 10.6 Mb
2nd video is 4.5 Mb
3rd video is 12.6 Mb (this is the one that doesn't play)
It doesn't matter if I play the video from Photos and Videos using the slider, or from Albums frm the Start Menu, or from File Explorer.
Then I hooked up my HD2 to my PC, and copied the 3rd video to the PC where it plays fine in Quicktime. However, I've noticed that the first 32 seconds of the video has NO sound. Sound pops up after 33 seconds, so maybe that's what's causing these issues in HTC Album ??? Or maybe that the recorded size is a factor ???

Same annoying problem here!!!
Don't know what caused it because it was working fine before, maybe some program or tweak I installed...
Thumbnails of my videos show on the album and Sense but when I click on them nothing happens, the videos worked fine before and I can still view them on CorePlayer.
¿Any ideas?

I had this problem when i installed the You Tube cab. I uninstalled it and HTC Album and video worked fine

When you talk about the youtube app you mean the HTC youtube app or the Original Youtube app for windows mobile? the one you can download from the mobile youtube web

I can confirm that at least in my case it was the HTC youtube app that was causing the problem, it seems I have to choose between youtube or being able to watch my videos!
