Absolutely NO audio on ANY mp4 video with HTC Album

Hello,
I'm having a problem with HTC Album. Whatever mp4 movies I'm trying to play with Album - they play video, but absolutely no audio
When I play EXACTLY same movie with CorePlayer - it playes audio fine. Video is choppy though.
I tried different mp4. Coverted, downloaded from intet. They all play fine on my PC, they all play fine with CorePlayer. No audio with HTC Album
Does anyone have this problem ? Is there a fix ?
Can somebody upload short mp4 video, that plays fine with audio in HTC Album, so that I can download it and try ?

Hello Bogdatov, did you find a way to get audio on HTC album? I have the same issue but didn't find any useful hint in the forum...

try to convert the mp4 with the encoder tool and play again in htc album.
some mp4 are corrupted or have a corrupted header

The Opposite
I have the opposite of your Problem. When I play a MP4 the screen turns black and there's only audio!
Can't one just download a codec or something like that for the HTC HD?

Thanks MaierHermi, I will try again but... the files were converted using HTC Touch HD Video Converter 1.21; they play the audio using Coreplayer but they are "muted" when playing with HTC Album... I don't think its a codec problem.

Same problem here :/
Have you done any tweak?
I've been using AdvancedConfig 3.3 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 (nothing obviously...).
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

Solution - check vol in wm player
I found that if vol is set to 0 in WM Player - HTC Album will be mute. Just set higher volume in WMP.

Thanks for that, I've already hard-reset, but I'd know why it happen if it does reproduce!

Same here ... any suggestion ?

Solution
I had this same problem and I found a solution.
Find and change key in Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/MediaPlayer/Preferences
find key "Mute" and set to "0".
Really works... sound in HTC album mp4 videos is back

Didn't work for me, part of my problem un like others is only SOME of my mp4's don't work in the album player whereas on my stock T-Mobile Touch Pro2 Rom they all worked

I have exactly the same issue. Some mp4s work fine in HTC Album and some dont.
The thing is.. every mp4 used to work in HTC album. I use Energy ROMs and this issue started a few ROMs back, cant remember exactly when.
Tried the various registry mod solutions in previous replies however the issue remains.

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

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.

Same lag and stutters overhere. Any solutions out there allready?
Default mediaplayer suddenly stopped working on my TP2, though the quality was way better then the core player's. Too bad it doesn't work no more.

can anyone help with this after paying for core player it wont play anything with out stuttering along

everything used to lag for me in coreplayer, including videos but if i switch the audio settings to higher priority for mp3 files they play without a hitch. now if only i can find out how to do the same for videos

Add me to the list of VERY unsatisfied results with Coreplayer on the TP2... it absolutely SUCKS. BIG TIME. Laggy and crappy... how is a man suppose to watch all those great videos stuttering!

I had the same issue (laggy, ...) a couple of months ago. I sent an email to CorePlayer support and got this answer back :
"Hello,
This is a known issue and we are working with several people on trying to track it down and are hopeful to have it included with the next release. I can offer you a full refund if you would like.
Regards,
CoreCodec Support Group"
They expect to release the new version by the end of this month.
Just have to wait...
Hope it helps.

Are you using DirectShow? If not, try it.

Great on TP2
Coreplayer is running great on my TP2. Watched 2 movies today and the video looked great and frames were solid. Honestly its the best thing i did for my TP2 yet. I dont believe it will handle 800x480 but a little bit lower resolution should still be fine and the video scales very well. Check this review on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONMuEeTo7A&feature=related
Watch near the end when he shows how Coreplayer runs.

REFUND!!!
So I just sent my refund request for Coreplayer. It has a bug with Tv-Out causing it to show a blue flicker. Also it has no real hardware support yet. The best thing I found was the Touch HD gui encoder program. It puts your videos into formats the built in players can use and those do have hardware support. So while coreplayer is a great app its not for the TP2.

Disable DirectDraw in TCPMP. Use GDI mode.
I am not sure if the following has any effect when DirectDraw is disabled, but this is the way I have it:
Select Options\Settings, then click on "Select page" and select DirectDraw.
You will see three options. Only select the one that says "use blitting instead of overlay"
This worked for me...

Yea i've tried it...but the quality of video is very low...i intend a way to watch youtube videos with all or a part of features that there are in the desktop version.. i dont want believe that there isn't a way to do it or anything like this, on a unbelievable smartphone like this..

Mvu mobile viewer. Search for this application on xda. This program in combination with tcmp or core player will fulfill your needs

i've resolved using mVu player + Core Player( in tool-->preferences-->file associations-->select all...in network "page" set YouTube Format H264( i've put it in this mode) in video "page" at Video Output set DirectDraw...) ^^ thnx riotman!!

[Q] video playback quality

Hey guys i wanna ask someone who have a xperia x2 how is video playback quality cause i have put many videos with many file type MP4 WMV and the playback was rubbish the picture isn't clear.
even though the phone is said to support HD video playback but when i play a 360p video it isn't clear.
another thing about the youtube app videos are the same not clear just like am watching a very bad video.
some one can help???

What are you using to play them back ... the built-in player?
I was not happy with it -- skipped alot and soethimes just stopped and needed to reboot ... I now use Corel player -- and that seems to work well ...

i used Media player and the slideview player. the videos did not work on core player only audio played.
as for youtube app is there anything i can do the resolution is very bad can you help?
and thank you any way.

Did you look at the settings for CorePlayer that are listed in XDA? when I first loaded it, it also did not play the video ... They are under tools, settings, then select the video page --- I have mine set to GDI video output, High video quality, Only for 50% smooth zoom, and the Dither box checked.
I think those are the only changed that I made from the default settings, but is was awhile ago, so I am not 100% sure ...
I don't use youtube, so I can't help there ... but there is a new app listed with Omarket that is supposed to provide smooth video -- but I have not tried it ...
