Hi guys,
I've converted an HD movie to [email protected] mp4. The movie is 1h:31m long and is like 683MB. When I copied it to my sd card WMP can play it. It lags way too much and the problem is not with playback speed, but that the movie is lots of MB and lots of minutes. I converted the same movie but only the first 2 minutes with the same settings as a clim which plays without a frame drop on WMP. The same scenes, which lag so much on the full movie file plays flawlessly on the 2min. clip. Also the 683MB file plays good at the end, when there is not so much content left. So this should be due to precaching or something like that.
I remember I saw something like: copy WMP files to SD card and the lag stops but can't find this thread now. Can you help me with this one? Any idea why the fact that the movie is 1h:31m bothers WMP so much and how I can fix this problem?
Note: the problem is the same with Media Panel.
I'd try installing SDtuneup if you havent done so already and which converter are you using?
I encode my vids at MP4 h.264 600x360 @ 786kbps and havent got lag on those long vids.
Are you copying the files over in sdcard mode too instead of activesync?
I did tried with and without SDtuneup, but it was all the same.
It turns out, that WMP could not read very good from that part of the card. Which was very strange. I copied the same file twice on the SD card and the second copy worked fine. Very strange problem.
I decided to format the SD card and for now it seems that WMP does not have any reading issues, so far.
And the strangest thing is that I could copy the problematic file back to PC from X1 with more than 6MB/s speed. So it wasn't a read problem with the SD card, but just WMP had problems with it.
Anyone having such issue with WMP?

Hi,
Lately i have been facing problem with audio manager in manila.
When i play a song in manila, the music is played for few seconds and then it stops. If i hit the play button again, it plays from the start and again stops in few seconds. But this problem is not happening in Windows media player.
I tried multiple memory cards and changed different ROMs. Also I have formatted the memory card withd efault allocation size and also checked the card for errors. Used the SD tune up as well. There seems to be no issue with the memory card.
Currently running Xanny's 2.0 Rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amuthan
I'm getting the same thing. Tried playing some music earlier (think I have Maryone 23051) and the music stops playing after about 1.5 minutes. Pressing pause the first time does nothing then again and it starts laying from the beginning.
Can some one throw some light on this problem please?
It plays fine in Media Player so must be a problem with the new manilla or the newer 6.5 builds. I'll try another to see if there is any difference.
Also:
Tried searching but didn't find anything useful. One person said to format the card due to fragmentation but tracks that used to play fine when I first had the phone (and will be no more fragmented than they were then) now pause trying to play them
Same problem here. It started since I am using WM 6.5 (and at the same time Manilla 2.5).
I have not found any fix since.
Same problem. Checked and freshly formatted SanDisk 8gb SD card in my TD2. Mediaplayer works fine, manila player stopps playing after few seconds. In fact, it seems to be an manila problem...
It seems whenever an energy saving event occurs, the player stopps responding. if you - while playing a song - tapping the screen, checking mails, running the browser etc. the songs will play until you stop working. Perhaps it is a feature ;-)
Any usefull idea would be helpfull...
Greets!
I wouldn't say for definate that its a manila issue, as plenty of users, myself included use wm6.5 manila 2.5 roms and have not got this issue.
Leaving in the sd card in during flashing process has been known to currupt or damage the card which may be the reason for your failure.
Only solution I've heard of so far is to format your card. If you can, try backing up your card first

OK, if i remove the SD card, the player works fine using only internal memory.
BUT: the storage card is definitly not damaged (freshly formatted) and hasn't been in the device while flashing. Still works fine in a lot of other devices.
AND: as i tryed any other SD-Card here i got the same issue
AND!!! : why does the player plays every song from SD card without breaks while tapping the screen?
Any further idea? --- greetings
solution
Quite simple:
I found a folder in my music database with write protection enabled. I changed the folder and disabled write prtection and the manila audio player is working without any problems now!
Manila player needs wirite permissions to the audio folders, because manila puts a hidden coverart file in each audio folder: hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
I think, in fact - this is a (small) bug in the latest 6.5 ROM build. Can't remember to this behavior in 6.1 build...
Hope it helps... Regards
Just been doing a bit of fiddling and realised TF3D doesn't like playing certain albums I have on my SD card. Tried formatting the card with different setttings copying across a couple of albums each time and had no luck. One time I only copied one album across and it played perfectly.
All the Lame encoded files seem to work fine but have some others which stop the music playing even if they are not being played themselves, but are just on the card.
The other thing I noticed when the music kept stopping was the updating spinny arrows kept appearing while the music started playing. Not doing it now I've copied over just lame encoded files and all is playing well.
I love my HD2 but the HTC music player is really slow when having lots of music (a 16 Gb card with maybe 1500 songs or so). It takes maybe 15-30 seconds before it is ready to use. Is this normal and is there any way to improve the speed?
I have the same problem very annoying. And slow to scroll through music in song view
Even worse is that it seems to do some rescan of all the music everytime you wake the phone, if the music tab is active, so you can't do anything until its finished. Very annoying.
Same for me with my 16Gb card. There should be an option to update manually instead of always automatically. Grr! I will still continue to use it though because the whole library and album selection is the best I've ever used on a WM Phone. Very comparable to the iPhone if not better IMO
My music player stopt after 20/30 sec. Anyone have noticed this problem?
It's driving my nuts
Do you keep all of your songs in the same folder or separate ones? I have about 1000 songs and no more than 30/folder and it takes me about 2seconds to load up the music player.

so you are telling that we need to put all music in one folder and that will speed up Mplayer??? i've got same problem with mine as well.
i got all albums in seperate folders (50+) and the music is shown immediately. No lag when scrolling through song-view as well. Got a german one with german rom.
Maybe very slow sd-card? tnyynt-sd-tuneup installed?
And what about the cover art if you keep the music in just a few folders? I did a try to speed things up by removing all *.jpg files and instead only use the embedded cover arts (My thought was that few files must mean a faster scan). That mostly resulted in me loosing coverarts on a lot of albums (Even due they have embedded pictures) so I guess there are some limitations in the use of embedded pictures?
thats strange i only got embedded covers and they work. Which programm did you use? i used mp3tag...

As long as you don't keep all of your music in the same folder it's going to load up quickly.
This is a repost from me in another thread about the same problem:
---
I have experienced exactly the same problem and found a way to solve it. I had over 500 MP3 songs in one folder on a microSD card. Playing them was terrible, the same problems you mention: stutter, freezing, buffering and the entire phone seemed to be unresponsive at times.
Then I played a very large MP3 file (about 1 hour in length) and I had no troubles at all. That surprised me, because I expected (because of the constant buffering) this would not play at all. What suddenly hit me was that this large file was the only MP3 file in a separate folder.
So I moved a couple songs (which stuttered very much) to another folder and they played without any problem.
The solution I used was this: I deleted the single folder with to over 500 MP3's and added the songs through the Media Player of my PC. This way, the folder structure in the music folder is: Artist/Album/Songs. So every single folder with songs contains only a few MP3 files.
After that I let the Media Player rescan the microSD card. All the songs were detected and they all play without any worry.
Best regards,
Willem (Netherlands)
Well mine remains slow My structure is /Music/Artists/Album and around 2000 songs.
This structure is automatic when you sync with WMPlayer.
I found if you ignore this structure you get "Audiomanager.exe has crashed" after 5 mins of playing (see another of my posts).
Maybe it's something to do with the SD Card?
Do micro SD cards have various classes like normal SD cards?
Mine is a Sandisk 16GB, but that's all it says.

Yes they have different classes, but as many have already pointed out the lag is mostly due to an improper folder structure. So just move them by hand and dont put all of your songs in the same folder.

Mine is also a Sandisk 16GB. I can't imagine you would need a high class microSD card, since all it needs to do is relatively easy reading straight forward files. It would be different if you needed to save enormous amounts of data.
And since I don't have folders anymore with hundreds of MP3's in them, my problem is solved.
EDIT: I used the same microSD card with the same songs in a HD (Blackstone) without problems...

Thought so! As I said my file structure is properly created by Windows Media Player 12, /music/artist/album being the structure and it still lags like hell!

Willem, so you are doing the opposite of what Toss2 said above and amalgamated all your songs into one folder?
Who's right? lol!!

Why don't you try and see for yourself. I had over 1000 songs in one folder to begin with and noticed that it took almost 30 seconds for the music player to even start. I then thought I'd try moving them around a bit and noticed that the load times were cut to two seconds and that the lag was gone once I had moved them to folders with no more than 50 songs in each. You also notice the speed increase in adding music files to windows media player's playlist.

Nope, the lag, stutter and buffering only happens when I do have hundreds of files in 1 folder.
Since I have put the songs on the SDcard through Windows (7) Media Player (12) everything is fine.

Their is two part to the solution:
1) Don't put all the files in the same folder (if you sync using WMP, it may do so)
2) Format your SD card.... but using the "Format SD Card" utility on the phone (Start menu => Tools => Format SD Card in WWE ROM). This very help me (and my phone).. And now, it's only a little long after a soft reset, when going in the music tab for the first time

i removed all music files from my storage card and try again.it work.
thnk you for your help
that's the problem of this phone. it corrupts the xme library in some memory cards that it has problems with. like the one i have. 1gig fat32 formatted. gives so much tension every time i have to put data in it. but works flawlessly in Nokia's.
Not sure if it is a phone problem.. Since I have a 4 GB memory card with approx 2.5 GB Music files. never had any problems whatsoever. BTW, before 'putting' the data, make sure it plays in your PC.
it plays of course :/

It depends on the format of the video / audio file, whether it should play in your mobile or not. To play all kind of videos, you need TCPMP (free) or CorePlayer (Paid). Like you can't play divx or avi file in WMP or the HTC Video Player.
In case of audio files, AFAIK, AAC files are not supported, again for a full range of audio file playability you need some professional player like PocketMusic.
damn...kill me but don't think that i am that much of a fool that i don't know what to do and what files can be played or not... i got core player from the awesomeness way cracked, installed and deleted. cuz i don't need it. i can easily convert and put files into my mobile. either way this problem my love isn't related to formats/**** etc.
i added a few mp4 movies to my evo (via an iMac & doubletwist). was able to watch one (just to test it looked fine), everything was cool. then about an hour later, i took a picture went into the gallery and got an error about my sd card being mounted readonly. i had this issue yesterday. it seems the mp4 files become corrupted. anyone know why? how to resolve? my sd card seems just fine. apps that are loaded there work even with this error.
think i fixed the issue. mp4 files don't play nice apparently! avi files are working just fine.
if u have this problem again just take everything off just save on your computer an formant your sdcard

What kernel are you using? Just curious.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had this problem before. I found it under a different phone on xda but cant remember. Plug your phone to your cpu and mount the sd card. (on your cpu) right click the sd card and scan for problems. In my case it was a corrupted file. Hopefully this fixes it.
Already posted this over on the Thrive forum nut haven't had any input. Thought maybe someone here could make some suggestions.
I have several movies and music videos converted to MP4 using DVDCatalyst. Some straight from the DVD, some from .avi files.
In my Thrive I have a 32gb, Class 6, SanDisk Ultra 20 mb/sec SD card.
Any of my files played from the SD card have the audio out of sync with the video. However, if I place them on the internal storage they seem to play fine. I took one video convert from an AVI, tested the AVI and MP4 versions on my desktop, both played fine. Copied to both internal storage and the SD card then played them one at a time using the native player. Repeat several times.
Everytime when playing from the SD card, the audio was out of sync. Sometimes it was close, but never totally in sync. From internal storage, never a problem.
Is this a native issue? Do I need a Class 10 card? Different video player?
I hate to have to put all my videos on internal storage.
Suggestions?
TIA!

On my class 10 I notice no problems, and probably just a read write issue.
Sent from my Thrive, rooted and looking for more.
Yesterday I installed the trial Dice Player and Tegra2 plugin. Only had a few minutes to test but it seems to work well with no sync issues. Going to get the full version and test as time permits.
