Full screen in WMP

I have several video clips on my SD card that play in full screen on my xda2i but wont fill the screen in WMPlayer on my exec, is there a solution for this or is it a problem with the Media player that comes as standard in the exec? also if i shoot a video clip on my exec that wont fill the screen either, ive messed around with all the different settings but cannot find a solution Please help.

I too find this very annoying.
Please let me know if you figure it out..

It is a known issue with universal and there is no fix yet, hopeing to get it in next ROM Update.... everyone is using TMPEG Player to play those videos which works much better on videos than WM.

Best Media Player for WM5/PocketPC?

Is the best media player CorePlayer for the PocketPC? I want to ask everyone before going out and spending the whopping $20.
I just want one solution, the best solution, so I don't have to revisit this again and have something that will play both my audio and video file types.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The best may be the freeware version of CorePlayer, TCPMP

Would anyone have the link to TCPMP? I tried Google'ing but kept running into dead links.
Never mind, found it.

What about here?

EDIT: Damn, it didn't work either...

Thanks. I eventually found it but didn't like it so sprung for the CorePlayer. All is well now.

Why not install both TCPMP and Coreplayer? That way you also get AC3 support through TCPMP if ever you need it.

I get an error with TCPMP with AC-3 audio - am I missing a setting somewhere to enable it?
Error: Player: Audio codec (AC-3) not supported by the player!
ver 0.72RC1

You need the AC3 codec (I don't know where from though, try the forums at corecodec). However, if you install Coreplayer (the retail version of TCMP) then this codec is installed automatically.
I don't know if coreplayer has to be activated in order for the codec to work though.

No, it's not. Maybe you are thinking of AAC but AC3 is definitely not in Coreplayer. There was a huge discussion on their forum along the lines that you don't need AC3 because there is no PDA with 5 speakers and it would increase the price for coreplayer unnecessary because of the license fees they would have to pay to Dolby. Anyway, they might release it as an additional plugin later. The current plugin for TCPMP is a grey area legally speaking. Get it as long as you can still download it somewhere ...

Is there another player that can cope with pausing automatically during an incoming phone call/voice command.
I tried tcpmp an it kept playing across calls, which is a bit annoying when you've got the phone set on autoanswer..
Built in media player does work like this, but that's the only thing I can think to say that's positive about it..

Yep I found a link to it after I'd posted, the demo seems to be working pretty well so far. Will see how I get on and buy it if it works properly.

Pocket Player
Well even though it seems quite a bit flakey, Pocket Player. It works with Bluetooth headsets, well at least my Sony Ericson, if you want quality FLAC file playback this seems fine and a very good way to fill a 8GB microdrive ;-)
Playback with a proper stereo headset is good as long as the charger is not attached - which is noisy. As this pda can access usb drives, it could form the basis of a funky hi-fi systems if you use FLAC files and spend some money on a better power supply, oh and get hacking the device to find the direct digital outlet to pump to an external dac. Actually I've not tried connecting it via it's usb output - has anybody else? Not use this would work though.

media player

since everyone is telling (youtube etc) that the buildt in mp is crap.
who has a better one?

the built in player is excellent for things that are encoded for it. beautiful quality
anything else use coreplayer.

in many movies on youtube they say that the coreplayer has blue screen flickering with video palyback (with video out cable)

I have been looking at CorePlayer, the WindowsMobile PocketPC version, and under notes it says:
CE/Windows Mobile/PocketPC/Smartphone
---------------------------------------------------------
- Does not support the Qualcomm MSM7200 QTv chipset (we only support the MSM7500)
Click to expand...

Doesn't the TP2 use a Qualcomm 7200 chip?
Edit: no idea why it says the above, but I bit the bullet and bought the app and it works soooo sweetly =)

I used coreplayer on my tytn2 but it won't run on my touch pro 2 it fails to start everytime ????

just downloaded an ipod movies .mp4 video and all it shows up as on the built in media player is perfect sound but a green screen ??? why is it so hard to play video's on my phone

I'm using Coreplayer 1.3.2 Build 6909 for ARM atm on my TP2. Had no problem with the install, and it runs all my Xvid/DivX movies just fine.
Mediaplayer, wont show any files in its library so i stopped using that, for music I'm using that crappy Touchflo player (library is too limited for me)
For Vid's I really recommend you to use Coreplayer, it plays music as well, although I haven't tried that yet

just looked at their site and they want me to pay $29 for it !!!! it may be annoying not to be able to watch certain movies on my phone but it isn't worth parting with the much money. I used TCPMP player previously before it became commercially Coreplayer, it worked on my tytn and it was free, since it's become commercial I guess it's no longer an option.

MP4 Player fix for TP2 PLEASE!?
I'd just like to take this moment to say AHHHHHH!!! I'm about to pull what little hair i have left OUT!!
Ok... I've dug through 1000s of sites and forums, 100s of downloads, installs, uninstalls onto memory card and or directly onto my phone. Downloaded even directly to Desktop computer to open / transfer / unzip to removable, then active sync, drag drops, etc... etc...etc...
I had a good TCPMP Player on my winMo5.0 phone that lasted me the last couple years. Now on TP2 WinMo6.1 It doesnt work and i FINALLY found a new one to download and hear people DO have it working on theirs while others don't.... the player they sent with the device beyond sucks!! and I am unable to view flash on the fly..
I even PAID for the download and recieved NO help whatsoever so I'm here after a YEAR of great advice from you all...
I downloaded TCPMP.pocketPC.0.72rc1,
ran the .cab and all seemed to work correctly and even have the shortcut in my programs.. I click on it and receive this pop open:
::::Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit::::
I read some on people saying there is a fix or an add.. please help this long term beginner... PLEASE... I would pay if anYONE could make this simple.. I need to use my phone and cant risk dinking around tOO much with it.
AnYthInG... PLEASE?!?!
gOOOD mp4 player that has been tested and you can walk me through step by step
OR if Im to use the player on the phone currently, how can I create an option for it to auto replay until I can fix the TCPMP so I can move smoothly through the frames
GREATLY appRecIated in AdvAnCe!!!

Which Coreplayer version for us?
I see there are 2 arm versions of coreplayer. For the TP2, would I get the "Pocket PC / Arm" or "Smartphone / Arm" version? Both say they are for Windows Mobile.

This forum does have a search facility, you know. Had you considered using it?
Download the version of TCPMP that you'll find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3275845&postcount=172
Then go into the Settings screen, the DirectDraw page, and tick the box that says "use blitting instead of overlay".

Please try this video: in sync on PC, out of sync on HD2

The attached very short video clip plays perfectly in sync (watch the drumsticks!) on my PC and on my wife's Touch HD, but is not in sync on my HD2 using the HTC video player.
The problem must therefore lie not with the video encoding, but with the HD2.
Please tell me if it is in sync or not on your HD2, and what ROM you are using so that I'll know if a ROM update might fix it. I'm using the stock 1.43 Vodafone UK ROM with all 4 hotfixes applied.
I really would appreciate any help in solving this issue since it's happening with nearly all my .mp4 videos on the HD2. The problem does not occur with .wmv files but I'd rather use .mp4 if I can.
Thanks.

Tested. Indeed it is a touch out of sync, playing with wmp.

deffo out of sync with vlc. really quite unnerving.

With CorePlayer out of sync, too.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I've just flashed from stock Vodafone 1.43 ROM to Miri's WM65_21889_Sense25_V2.0 ROM (highly recommended), which is based on the 1.61 ROM and it's still out of sync. I've therefore sent a support request to HTC who are going to test it out on various devices and get back to my by the end of the week.
I'll let you know what they say. I've told them it's affecting other people too, so hopefully they won't just suggest a hard reset.

Confirmed: sound and video out of synch in HTCAlbum, WMP and CorePlayer. I'm running the t-mobile version of 1.43 with camera hotfix.

Is this video recorded via the phone or something else?
There have been cases where videos are encoded improperly, they play fine on PCs, but go OOS on hardware based players....several scene dvdrips have been subjected to such an error before.

Ripped from DVD using SPB Mobile DVD, and then converted to .mp4 using Handbrake. This plays fine on the Touch HD, so there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't play fine on the HD2. It's not an exception either - almost all my .mp4 videos are very slightly out of sync. Most of the time you can't tell - you need something like the drumsticks to know for sure if it's in sync or not.
Hopefully I'll get an update tomorrow from HTC support, but I'm not holding my breath for a fix.

This needs sorting out, i've been using winmenc to compensate for the syn issue but this morning i played Harry Brown on it and it is still out of sync. Maybe this rip works ok without the sync fix, will have to see tonight

sync is fine on my Touch HD, very odd it doesnt play properly on the HD2

HTC need to take note of this, i'm surprised that more members haven't reported this complaint. There are 3 threads about it, i would expect an issue like this to have many many pages

Yep, in sync on pc mashed up on hd2. I'm going to email HTC now with all this info, i urge everyone else does also

I noticed this using DivX a month or two ago, I stopped using video files after that. But I installed TCPMP last night and played The Hurt Locker on it, the audio seems to be more or less in sync, not perfect but certainly not the one or two seconds out of sync that is was on the DivX Player.
I have had audio and video sync issues on all my HTC devices, I just assumed it was due to the lack of processing power. But the HD2, that shouldn't struggle surely?

ofcourse not, my n96 played mp4's flawlessy, none of this syn issues or juddering. I can't quite get my nut round why it is struggling so much
I also can't understand people who say they can play divx through coreplayer flawlessy either, it drops frames like a mother F$%^&*
I really have moaned my nuts off about this so apologies to members who keep reading me moaning about it hahah!

I am sure if I tinkered with the audio/video sync in TCPMP I could get it in sync, but it is bloody annoying. I might actually have a play now, see if I can actually get it perfectly in sync.
*Edit* Seems to work just fine without doing anything, on Windows Media Player and TCPMP.
I used a clip of The Hurt Locker and it seems to work just fine, as does the whole film.

that's not an issue. It's easy to get into sync in coreplayer (and probably TCPMP) the problem with those players is that they judder/drop frames so to me it is not usable no matter what settings you use.

I edited my last post, maybe it's just a Coreplayer/DivX player issue?

Windows Media can't play videos? (jagan I need help!)

I use jagan2's ROM and everything works perfectly fine. But I have an issue with it. The windows media in the ROM can only play music but not the video. I downloaded divx program but I still dont know how to play the videos I recorded from my phone because it still opens the video file with windows media instead of the divx. How do I do to fix it?

Thanks for the response! But can you suggest another program because Coreplayer doesnt have sound for some reason?

Have you tried the freeware TCPMP? It plays almost every kind of files out there Audio and Video. You can get it right here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636423
I'm using it on Jagan's Evo2 ROM and it works perfectly.
Good luck.

Yes, the above suggestions will work for you.
And yes in the new version it will be fixed. Still finding time to finish it.

what you mean that it doesnt have sound?
perhaps you downloaded the wrong version...or the trial one..also there is a thing in the program (a thing that can be scrolled, as in every another program.cause of my "good" english i cant really explain you what i mean and i dont rly think that somebody understands what i am writing here, however =D) that controls the sound.
i dont know.
but today i rewatched the "harry potter 6" with coreplayer and everything was super
http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/336158/CorePlayer.PocketPC.r7427.cab and i downloaded it from here (it's a direct link that doesnt need a keygen or a crack so enjoy)
what about the "TCPMP"..I never tried it, but cause it's freeware, it cant be better then the coreplayer =p
@jagan2, honey...this forum can live without you =p it would be better if the time that you are spending by answering questions here would be used on finishing the rom.thanks =D

Thx guys, i fixed it!
Btw, japan, I would like to try your ultimate EVO but is there a way to save the texts on my current phone because they are quite important and I dont wanna lose them from flashing new ROM.
