[Q] wma support? - Acer Iconia A500

Isn't this tablet supposed to support Wma audio? In the media players it doesn't show Wm a files and in astro it says file type not found or cannot play this file type is there any specific specs that the tablet requires?

Well because it's WM the specific specs are usually a Windows OS.
But try the market for some audio apps like Power Amp.

The upcoming 3.1 update will have:
...
- Media support more and WMA / WMV to improve the display of MPEG-4 Simple Profile.
...
Currently I'm using PowerAmp which plays WMA without problems.

I also use Power Amp, which I found after flashing a custom ROM on my Droid, which came with WMA support 'stock' but not in the custom ROM.

The best multimedia players!!!

Hi guys,
I'm looking for the best mm player for my Jam...
I'd like a player that:
- can works in background
- can play all the mm format (audio/video) such as: mp3, ogg, mpeg, avi,wma divx ecc...
- the player have to stop when I'll receive a call or text and then play again
- the player have to don't use the standard configuration fot the power management (es: I configure my Jam to shutdown after 3min. but if I play mp3 I don't want this!)
The Win media player 10 it's very nice for example but how can i add the plugin fro divx, ogg and all the other fromat?
Any other mm player application?
try this
Think TCPMP is the best.

I think that Betaplayer and TCPMP are the same now
Yeah, TCMP is the newer version of Betaplayer. Dunno why they renamed it, but oh well. Whaever floats their boat!
A good music player is MortPlayer. A good video player is the already mentioned TCPMP. You can also find plugins for the WM to play Divx movies and so on but I would recommend the above combination.
Man, except for TCPMP (aka BETAPLAYER), there aren't any mediaplayers that support all those features...
is there a way to play AAC file (ipod) with WMP 10
I'd like to find a player that can play AAC file (ipod).
I tried Nero ShowTime Mobile which is good but doesn't stop correctly when you get a phone call
Is there a way to play AAC file with WMP10?
Hi guys!
I tried TCPMP and it's really nice but...
I'd like the player in "pause" when I receive an incomming call and with TCPMP I can't find the option to configure it... seems to continue to play but with no sound.
How does it works?
Talking about TCPMP.
A fiend of mine gave me an MP4 movie file which he had on his PSP.
I figured as TCPMP plays MP4's it would be as simple as transferring it onto my device and playing via TCPMP.
It works in the sense that i get great video, but there is no audio.
I get the following message at the beginning:
AUDIO CODEC (MPEG4 AAC AUDIO) Not supported by the player. Decoder was removed from the official install package.
Is there anything I can do to resolve the audio with this player. Or should I use another player?
That problem would be fixed if you had the same codec that Namelous is after (3 posts up). TCPMP comes with the MP4 video decoder, but need the AAC audio decoder to run, as most MPEG-style movies are encoded with separate video and audio. If you were to rip a movie to your hard drive from a dvd to Mpeg 2, more often than not you'd have audio encoded in MP3, so you'd need both the Mpeg 2 and MP3 codecs on your system.
Good luck finding an AAC codec for PPC. If you do, please let me know as I've been looking too!
What about Soundexplorer? (obviously not for video...). It also records sound (much players don't). I like it very much.
Looks like PocketMusic has an AAC plugin.
Haven't tried this program yet, but would love feedback if anyone does (like does it pause music on an incoming call, how is the equilizer, bass boost, overall usability, etc.?)
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I went ahead and downloaded the trial version on my MDA Pro and like it a lot! Doesn't play movies of course, but the equilizer is pretty good, and it pauses your tunes on incoming calls. Other features like mapping to the hardware buttons, big finger-sized screen buttons, skins, cross-fading, and an alarm clock make it nice.
AAC Plugin...

Media Player Codecs

I have a large number of movies converted to play on my Sharp 903 (SD Video format).
In order to watch them with sound,on the PC, in media player I had to add a codec (SHARP G.726).
I have loaded a few onto the O2 xda mini s and they look fantastic, but no sound as could be expected.
I have added the codec but it will not recognise it.
Any tips on adding codecs to the media player please.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried using TCPMP player? It plays many more file types and on TCPMP's web site they have extra codec to use if needed.
Thanks for the info.
I have not got into adding other programs yet and for this perpose I would be happy with the bundled media player if I knew how to add a codec. I had no problems on the PC.
Any tips on how to add codecs to media player?

Codec or player that will play .wav

Hey guys,
Is there a codec for the windows media player for the dopod 838pro that will allow you to play .wav files? Some waves will play but others won't...Other than that is there another type of player that will play all of the filetypes?
Cheers
.wav file is a container. It may have the sound information encoded by different methods, including MP3, or AC3, or DTS...
So you need not a .wav player (well, not only), but also a decoder for a particular method. You have to find out what exactly do you need yourself.

[Q] Default Media Player doesn't play the audio in some of my avi files

I'm finding that many of the movies I have downloaded contain audio that does not play back on my Elocity A7 tablet (movie plays fine but there is no sound). I haven't taken a specific look at which audio codecs they are but I'm guessing some of you have some suggestions. Is there a specific media player I need to download or is there a way to download and install a codec pack like K-Lite?
Probably an issue with the type of sound encoding.... Apparaently, Tegra 2 devices cannot decode DTS sound, or even Dolby Digital sound. At least that's what I remember reading somewhere.... So, I don't think that there is a way to hear the audio on those files without re-encoding the movie...
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to market place and download MX videoplayer and its code pack made specially for tegra, it will play all video files...

[Q] MP3 Player ROM for HTC HD2

I have an old Leo laying around and I was wondering if there is any ROM out there that would turn my phone into an mp3 player.
Probably best going with a very light WM6.5.5 build & then using native music player or one of a few music apps such as MortPlayer to name a free one.
Sticking with WM will give good battery life & ability handle music over BT, audio output jack etc ...

work fine on my wm6.5.5 energy rom, some HD2 owners on original roms had issues with Pocket player regardless of portable or cab install.
Well thanks for the info but I had installed android 2.3.7 on my phone. How am I supposed to install that windows ROM now?
Plenty of mp3 player support for android but I expect WM6 rom will give far better battery life & device life/stability & WM file structure is far more tidy than android making your music - media folders on storage card easy to maintain organise & browse if connect to share etc.
WM6 roms can be found in HD2 wiki along with WMDC to flash via PC.
If you go to WM6, I would try the Energy Reference ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#ROM_Development
OK, but how do I flash these roms over android. I've installed HSPL, Magldr and a custom recovery?
just plug it in to PC via usb & run the WM rom installer, it will flash the rom but your current HSPL will remain.
You could also flash a custom WM rom such as ->
energy http://www.mediafire.com/download/bhh47jlowm9zph6/Energy.Leo.23699.Sense2.5.Reference.Nov.24.7z
by putting the file on sd card & possibly using custom recovery or the good old fashioned way of boot to proper tri-color bootloader. using custom rom via SD will keep HSPL but if use full original rom it will remove current HSPL and possibly fail to flash if CID rom code does not match device.
If do via SD read post linked below>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317
Well thanks, I'll try it and let you know.
I find pocket player very good, you do need spend some time trying it though & adjusting settings as it quality software with many options unlike most of the android & iphone 5h1te of today.
I have the pocket player equalizer off & use the native HTC equalizer on custom setting & sound quality is superb on decent headphones & can shame most of the midrange modern junk.
Touch UI may not be the best on WM6.5.5 but it not bad & gets better with experience, same with Pocket Player, it may look visually dated but the actual software is proper quality ...
Why not use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867986 you then could have a light Android OS with the option of a good sat nav and a music player
I had put my HD2 away for a while now and thought I could use it as a mp3 (aux) for my car. Navigation is going to be a plus if it works.
Any suggestions for a good nav/maps app which can work with just gps and preloaded maps?
