I haven't seen this problem before. Like always my first question: Have you tried a hard-reset?

I have not, because i don't want to lose the tons of setting and personalization. I spent hours to configure everything to my tastes and i don't want to lose that. I bet one of the cabs i installed, probably the core player or the youtube one (didn't work) messed up the codecs. Isn't there a way to install/reinstall the video codecs?

same thing has happened to me last week, had to hard reset, couldn't find an answer anywhere.

Do you have any idea why did it happen? Did you install something that messed it up? Were you able to play movies on the media panel?
There must be a way to repair it without hard reset.

nope changed nothing, today i've had to soft reset twice to get video to play through media player , all i was getting was sound but again it played through core player. but i'm not getting any error messages now.

So you are saying you didn't install anything before your wmp mobile stopped working properly?
and btw what kind of program/converter do u use for your movies. I have used a dozen or so but i never got a nice quality fullscreen vid that didn't jump from time to time. Core player plays avi but i still need to lower the quality and/or bitrate otherwise its laggy.

I noticed something else is wrong with the media panel. The music and pics icons show the number of files in the phone but fail to display the actual items and there are no items to click on. The vids are sometimes shown and sometimes not, but even if they are visible when i click on them the screen turns black for a few moments and then goes back to the vids icon.

If you start tinkering with your phone, you can expect to run into problems every now and then, forcing you to hard-reset. Use user customization compatible ROM's and just create your settings if you intend to keep on tinkering.
Youtube might be the cause. Try and uninstall, see what it does. Coreplayer should not affect the panel, but one never knows.
First I need to know; do you use a custom ROM? If so, trying uninstalling/reinstalling the media panel.

Check the video thread in this forum for more information on playing video on the X1.

ROM is the regular x1i and i really don't want to use any custom ROMs. Hard reseting is the solution for everything but i don't want to lose all my settings and stuff. I guess the key to the problem is in the fact that both the media panel and wmp mobile don't work properly. I can uninstall youtube player and the panel but what about the patch and the reg entry files? I downloaded all 4 from the sticky thread in this forum.
Update:
When i click on a vid the wmp mobile no longer plays it with sound and black screen, now it has a weird clicking sound. Having in mind that the media panel doesn't play mp3s any more, it seems to me that it is both the video and audio codecs that got damaged or deleted.

Transformers.exe as movie browser?

Hello all,
I was curious about the possibility of editing the windows/Transformers.exe to allow you to place other movies into the sd/transformers folder and update the exe allowing you to utilize it as a movie browser/selector. I placed some other movies into the folder and renamed it "movies" however I do not know how to edit the .exe to recognize them or even if this is possible.
I would be curious if this is possible as it would allow you to place shortcut on program grid in Sense for faster/easier browsing of movies.
Does anyone know of any way to place link to a folder into grid. If this were possible the issue would be mute.
Thanks for any input regarding this!

Transformers doesn't have a separate movie browser. It uses the HTC vid app. Its just the way the movies were formatted that make them look so good.

Looks like you didn't really read the OP, I think he's asking if there's a way to add movies to the list that you see after launching Transformers.exe
To OP:
I think it may be possible depending on much of the assembly is hackable

My bad... Reading is fundamental! I'm going to assume there has to be a regedit that points to the transformers movies.

I know this is a lame answer, but why not just put your movies in a folder and fire up file explorer?

Sense style file explorer would look like that, that's why.

Okay, okay. Resco 2010 can be themed to look (and act) a heck of a lot like sense, and it supports thumbnail previews and all sorts of rich media browsing experiences. And it's just a file browser, too.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I will give that a try. I suppose a better solution would be the ability to link to folders thru Sense interface rather than having to open a file explorer type prog.
For now I suppose a folder in the start menu will have to do. Thanks again!

I will try encoding a video file to the same specs as the Transformer movies and put it in the folder. Although I have noticed and mp4 file will use that video player to view the file.

How can we find out the specs for the pre-loaded Transformers movies? And what do you recommend we use to convert movies we may have on our PC's?

connect you phone to your comp as a disk drive. then go to the transformer folder and right click on either file and click properties

Interesting Question
I could be completely reading into this wrong, but let me throw my two cents in.
My buddy and I were discussing how we loved watching the Transformer's movie, especially because you can use the seek function without leaving full-screen mode. If you use windows media player, when you tap the screen in fullscreen mode it immediately reverts back to windowed format.
Someone else had already mentioned above how the transformers.exe uses the HTC video player. However, if you open a program in File Explorer it uses Windows Media player. Basically, I wanted to be able to use the HTC video player for all my videos.
Thankfully this is possible to do, it is just annoying. Here is how you can watch videos using the HTC player:
1) Start Menu > Albums
2) Tap on "Albums" at the bottom left-hand corner (softkey)
3) Under Storage Card or My Device, tap on My Videos (or the name of the folder where you have your videos)
4) Tap on video
By doing this, you can utilize the awesome HTC video player!
I hope this helps with what you were trying to do.

Yeah, I tried the same thing as going through the file explorer isnt one click access (unless you always leave it in the Movies folder). Here's one alternative, but the GUI needs a little work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520604. It would be cool if someone picked up this project and improved it just a little. But, it works at least though.

that program would be awesome if it's polished up.

Yea, I was kind of wanting to encode the movies to avi to save space. I didnt know how to get the shortcuts to link up with the other movies instead, so I havent done it yet.

how bout a shortcut

i too tried in vail to add my movies to the transformers folder in file explorer, is there a way to add a short cut to my movies folder in the quicklinks?

maybe you guys can help me out...
i removed transformers from my sd card and onto my computer in an effort to conserve space.. but now i realize that i'm not gonna use all the space.. so i decided to put the movies back on sd card.. the only issue is that now my transformers shortcut.. doesn't work.. it gets to the page where i have to click either transformers 1 or transformers 2.. then when i select one of them.. it states that the media cannot be found..
so yea.. i was wondering if anyone can assist me in making that shortcut work again... i'm assuming that i have to direct a file using a registry editor.. or something... i think something along those lines.. i can't imagine this being really all that hard.. so please someone help me out and kinda guide me through it.. any suggestions?>

There has to be and I just haven't found it yet. When I just copy past a shortcut, it never works when I go to the start menu and click on it. Although, if I'm in Windows folder and click on it, it opens the Movies folder.

thanx

Try reinstalling the transformers.cab with the movies already present in \Storage Card\Transformers

what kind of picture & video formats X10 support?

i've got my X10a for almost 2 days, i'm quite new to Android. after load some of my pictures to the SDCard, but couldn't see them within to phone. could someone let me know what format does the X10 support or do i need some other software to view & play the video on the phone?

Well, the x10 supports jpg atleast. But I think that it should support, png and BMP aswell. I never really use anything other than those file types.
as for video, does it support mp4. if you want to play any other formats, you should download yxplayer or whatever the name of the app was

thanks for reply, those are most of my pictures format too but still don't know why they're not show up???
edit:
all my pics suddenly show up. maybe my storage card was being used by some other app or something.

Well, what kind of format of contact pictures you use. Mine are a kind of blurry when people are calling me.
What is the best resolution so you can see them sharp?
Cheers,
Arnold

If the phone is mounted by a computer then your phone won't be able to read the SD card until you eject/disconnect from the PC.

Album Videos not seen in Album, Send by Bluetooth, Android

Honest guys, I searched and searched here and all over the internet
I've had my HD2 for about 6 months now. I'm not up to your level of tweakiness with mobile phones
Just upgraded to the latest O2 ROM - 1.72.xxx ?
AND I realise posting new threads on here is faux pas in the extreme, but I spent hours searching and I have a headache plus maybe a small deathwish now!
Please, please, please can someone tell me the answers to;
1. What format do my music videos have to be in, on my storage card, to pick them up in the Photo's and Video's album? I've converted them to mp4 but still I'm told there are no videos found
2. My previous phone was a POS LG Renoir, however, compared to my HD2 it had one redeeming quality in that any photo I looked at I could select 'Send' and Bluetooth was an option. On my HD2 Facebook, Messages etc etc are the only options. Up until 6 months ago I used the bluetooth on my Renoir alot to send work photos. Is there anyway to enable this 'right click' function?
3. I signed up for this phone for 2 years, thinking it was the bees knees. Colleagues at work all waited for the HD2 Desire, and it looks fantastic. I'd ditch WinMo in a heartbeat to have Android - but after reading 100 pages of the 415 available....Is Android a viable option yet? (not taking away the extremely hard word the developers have put into it)
Sorry for asking such newbie questions but as I said originally I just can't find the answers on here (probably because of my ineptitude with using the search function)
Balders

Not sure if it helps but a work around for sending pics via bluetooth is using file explorer instead of album providing of course you know where your pics are and you know what the pics is called unless you have renamed them you can then press and hold the pic until menu pops up the first option is send via bluetooth
Not sure about the Vids did you save them to your storage card/video folder?
Just read up a little there is another option, you can use the pictures and video app which is in the multimedia folder in start menu this will show what pics you have on device or SD card with thumbnails again hold the pic and select bluetooth from pop up menu
Again regarding Vids I had several Vids which were stored in my DCM folder and did not show up in Album/Video I just moved them to the video folder on my SD card and now they show up so check that out

Thanks ozmoran for your reply
The bluetooth thing works a treat, can find pics by thumbnail and send by bluetooth. Much better than the work around I had figured using file explorer
Not as easy as having bluetooth being a send option from albums though (just in case anyone can make this work!!)
As for vids showing under albums, I did what you suggested, even reformatted the card. But unfortunately for me it still doesn't work. When I use the album 'search' bit the phone sees two files briefly (two music vids I've encoded to mp4) but then disappears them and says 'no photos or videos found'. I can browse to them normally and play them, in fact they look fantastic. Video I record on the phone shows up in Albums ok, so I guess it's a problem with the way I've encoded mine. I'll do a gspot comparison tomorrow and try to figure out where I'm going wrong
Really annoying though, I wanted the HD2 to be like an iPhone 4 but with the capability of making phone calls!! hahahaha!
Balders

oh well half the problem solved
I had the same prob with Avatar the file was too big I think I re encoded it and now I can watch it but only with media player and it wont show up in my vids in album either
You could always make a shortcut to your vids and put them on a quicklink I suppose
all depends how fast you want to find those vids eh
let me know how it goes
Ps this is much better than the other one and you know it ha ha
