I've a wifi with Htc pro and I have share my pc with resco but divx don't start, I' have installed core player, divxplayer and ppcinema but nobody work in lan.
Mp3 work only one at a time with windows media player but don't know how add all file to my playlist.
Could anyone tell me how resolve?
P.s. If somebody have problem with images in lan, I've resolve with resco photo viewer
Now mp3 are ok (tcmpc), divx always same problem
In Reso Explorer go to Menu\Options\Add-Ins\Network, and tick the box labelled 'Expose "Network" folder for other programs'. Then you should be able to browse to the mapped network folders in coreplayer, etc.

Have you tried opening a lower resolution file? Whenever I want to watch something on my phone, I resize the vid with PocketDivxEncoder.

If I copy movie on SD all work fine, problem is with lan. I prefer to copy files to SD rather than make a resize
Whether watching over your lan or from sd, there are advantages to resizing the file. It will then use a lot less cpu power, as it wont have to resize on the fly. This means that your battery will last longer, and your device wont get as hot.
I also use bluetooth headphones because my hermes doesnt have a standard headhone jack, and a2dp uses a lot of cpu time which means that higher res films start getting jerky and skipping.
I've been reading the copious threads about ripping movies onto the Touch Pro 2, and have been using the Catalyst 3 program with some success by just using the standard Touch Pro 2 settings in the software.
I read in some of the threads that some software on the TP2 can use the hardware acceleration function and some can't which makes for smoother movie viewing, etc. My question is this: When I put my converted mp4 movie on my SD card and onto the TP2, how should I view it to get maximum performance from the device? Should I put in a folder so that the movie is in the Album viewer and tap it in the album viewer and view it from there? Should I just locate the movie file using file explorer, tap on it, and view it that way? Or should I open the included Windows Media Player, then open the file from within that program? Or does it even matter? Will all 3 methods provide equal performance?
Thanks!
As to answer your question I just use the album viewer. I have the shortcut in my favorite programs and use that to navigate to my videos folder and select my movie and play. Im sure there is a way to create a shortcut to the Video Player itself through the regisrty but I havent found it yet.
You want to play the file using HTCAlbum, and not Windows Media Player; but whether you launch HTCAlbum and then load the file, or whether you associate .mp4 files with HTCAlbum and launch it from File Explorer makes no difference (except that the second way is probably easier!). HTCAlbum is quite possibly already the default application for .mp4 files anyway, so you may not need to actively associate it.
I have my HD2 and my home pc connected to the same wifi router, and basically i want to use the media player on the HD2 to access music files on the home pc. Now, i have managed to use resco explorer's network function to map the shared folder, and i can open it in resco, tap a music file, and play it, but how to play a whole album/folder, like i normally do in the media player? Its almost as if i need a proper path available in the system's own file explorer, which i can then select in any application?

I just use Orb so other than that no idea.
Nice. Just trying orb out now, just a bit curious as to why it's free, and on such an expensive looking server and ui as well!?? Where do they get their money?
Kinda like how transformers quicklink is attached to the Transformers folder on the SD card. I want to use the HTC media player as my defualt and not WinMo Media Player.
you can do that but not as a folder...what you would do is copy the movie file...and paste it is as a shortcut in the start menu in the windows folder. Is that confusing enough for you go to your movie using the file explorer..click and hold do copy then go to the windows/startmenu/programs then paste as shortcut...then you can add it as a quicklink!
that still wont make it play in the htc player though itl just open in whatever is default, probably win media.
theres a solution out there just search, i dont remember since i use coreplayer
Just make sure it's an .mp4 file and it will automatically open in the HTC player.
i cant find the menu you talk about when you do this, i can go to the windows start menu, but there is no programs list, no place to paste any file...

You don't go to the start menu itself to paste that....you open file explorer on your phone and navigate to \windows\start menu, then just long-press to bring up options, and choose "paste"
even when i do that, movies dont work, mp4 ones shoe a black screen with a loading symbole, then after about a half second it just takes me back to whever i was before i tried to oped the file. and avi movies bring up windows media player and an error message says it cant play the file... any help here?

I had an old tablet that I would use ES File Explorer on and be able to connect to my home network. When I went to open anything from it, I'd get a menu pop up asking me what program I wanted to use to open the file up. My old tablet was underpowered though and couldn't really stream anything because of it.
I now have a Nook Color and I'm running CM7 on it. I've downloaded ES File Explorer, setup network access and I'm able to access my files. However, every time I try to access a file through my network, it tries opening up the file in ES File Explorer. I don't get any popup menu asking me what program I'd like to use. ES File Explorer won't let me stream any video files and I have several other programs installed and would like to try to stream through them.
Can anyone help me out here? What am I missing that would allow me to choose what program a file will run through?
Thank you!
I had the same issue awhile back. Just went back after reading your post and its no different. Since then I've been using TVersity to stream my video.
You can try to clear default action for es file explorer in the application manager under settings (sorry, my nook is in french, i haven't the real translation of menu names..)
I've been looking for a good program. I might try buying plex as it's on sale at amazon this week. But honestly, I can't give you any other advice. If i end up getting it, I'll let you know.
EDIT: Just read in it's description, not optimized for tablets or larger screen. So that's not going to work for us. Sorry.

Did it work and allow you to select a new default player? It didnt work for me
Edit: I tried deleting and re installing. It allowed me to select a new default player for local files only. Still cant select new video player for network files.
Thanks for the reply guys. I couldn't get it to work either, so I ended up just installing cifsmanager and mounting my file server. I still then have to use a different file browser to select what video player I'm goig to use, but that's not much of a big deal.
I haven't been streaming anything, but I was using ES for quite a while, and ended up trading it in for File Expert, which is a bit more polished and doesn't give me the issues ES did. I just tried, and wasn't able to stream media with Moboplayer, but File Expert did give me the option to choose an app, so maybe it would work with a different video player.
It was a little odd how it worked: navigate to video file, tap, and it prompts me to choose a web browser (?); once the browser opens, however, I get a new prompt to choose a media player. Like I said, Moboplayer failed to play the files (tried .avi and mp4), but you said you had other players that might work.

Rockplayer Lite should play those files.

You are correct, thanks I would recommend File Expert over ES in general, and it looks like it would also solve your problem, though I see you took other steps already.
