Ok I am heading to a 18hr flight later today and am trying to load some "digital copy" movies to my tab.
Before the TW update, I had no issues uploading the movies etc. Now when I try to copy them over I get messaged asking if I want to convert the movies or not. Whether I click yes or no, after the movie is done converting, I get an error saying that the device is busy and can not copy the files.
Now, If I try and copy anything else, including other movie files, it works perfectly.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or are having the same problem?

Try selecting 'no' for conversion. In the mean time, you can also try an app called websharing and copy files from your computer to tablet without wires. The trial version won't expire, but it'll only give an option of uploading 1 file at a time.
Hope that resolves your issue.
Thanks, Ill try that program.
Selecting "No" just brings up the error message immediately, whereas if I hit convert, it takes about 30 minutes and then says the error.

Well i finally went and downloaded tmcmp last night and tried to stream some Orb stuff onto it. Everything that i have tried has given me an error that the file is unsupported. Anyone know why? I've read about a lot of streaming success and this is quite frustrating. I have the newest version of orb and the newest version of tmcmp.

I always use Orb and TCPMP and i've never experienced your problem.
What i do is:
- in TCPMP settings page i've associated the program with the streaming formats (don't remember exactly the extensions but, if you want to be sure, associate everything). This step must be done only once.
- with pocket Internet Explorer i open my.orb.com, login and choose the video to stream
- then, when i press the Play button, TCPMP starts automatically and plays the movie
that's all!

I did just that and when it starts it freezes up for a bit, and then i get the stupid error... this is rather frustrating after reading all the good things about tmcmp... so Please someone help.
well seems that it doesn't wanna open anything... anyone know why? and the error is "Could not open URL!"
haha well finally i figured it out. I was on the BB plan and it would only work with the proxy "getmorespeed.voicestream.com" and i guess tcpmp doesn't support the proxy settings so now that i have the total internet plan it works. Anyway to get around the proxy setting?
I'm having some trouble. . .
On my Wing, it seems that it wont really play any of the videos I store on my SD card. I've got maybe 300 gigs of media on my box, and I realize that the device supports 3GP, MP4, and AVI files, though I have no idea what versions of those extensions will play.
I have tried converting file types, file strengths (encoding, etc) to no avail. At one point I condensed an episode from my Robot Chicken DVD (picked for hilarity as well as small file size) and though the file was say, 50 MB on the computer (and played using WMP), and 50MB on the phone, it only played and scrolled as if the file was 5 seconds long on the phone.
Just like the blackberry, I assume there is a converter, or something I am otherwise missing here. All I really want to be able to do is to take a DVD, or take a file I've created, found, unearthed while deep-sea diving, etc, and play it on my Wing.
Where do I start?
EXTRA BONUS QUESTION: I installed Opera Mini as an alternative browser in root, which I now realize is IMPOSSIBLE to access. I believe a memory wipe should cure that. Would it be accessable if I store it on say, the SD card? Through file manager maybe?

Media player sucks for viewing any type of video on your phone. I suggest you install TCPMP and you should be fine. Do a search on the forum and you should find it pretty easy. As far as your Opera Mini Question....you should be able to run it from your SD card just fine.
Much appreciated, roman, I had figured it would be something like that. Glad to be rid of WMP too.
Clarifying question: How do I play the files through TCPMP? Ive tried from the file itself in file manager and it tries to launch WMP. I dont see a "file > open" type pathway within TCPMP itself.
What am I missing there?
add the file to it's playlist

There is actually a open tab thing in TCPMP, on the botton control bar in the player, click on the first tab from the left and in there there is the open option. And if you want the files to automatically open with TCPMP when you acces them from the file explorer etc. then you go to the TCPMP sttings and then to file associations. IN there select the files that you want to be asociated with TCPMP, and i think after a soft reset, they will automatically be opened with TCPMP.

If you open TCPMP you will see file then open file.

Most of my movies or videos are in AVI or MP4.
I've been wondering for a while now about why when downloading music or videos through the browser that it fails and say something along the lines of "can't download file. file type is not supported." i'm downloading mp3 files and mp4 files in the right format so y do they not work? ne answers are appreciated.
Not really a fix at all but Steel browser will download anything.
At the moment the browser can only download files that your G1 can actually open... although mp3 and mp4 files should be ok. Weird.
Use Steel as mentioned above until it is fixed.
I still cant download videos from sites like ::cough::ifap::cough:: Even tho they are mp4 it just says "file cannot download" even tho I'm using the latest updated version of Steel
Someone just started a thread about T-mobile putting some sort of content filter on their account whereas they could not access porn sites or adult oriented sites. My account definitely didn't have this "feature" activated, so I'm not speaking from experience, but you might look into it. I've never heard of such a thing, but I guess it would make sense on a family plan or a teenager plan perhaps. Anyways, he states that in order to deactivate it you need to call T-mobile. I've never had steel give me any errors while downloading a file, and I've downloaded a lot of different filetypes using it (including mp3s and mp4s). Anyways, I know it sounds strange, but you might give it a shot.
Have you tried downloading it on your computer?
I recently noticed that some mp3 files dont play in mediascape. The error message goes "Could not play the file. File can be deleted." Any ideas on why it does it to only some files? I made sure they dont have any weird symbols in them.
Maybe you moved them or renamed it?

First question: Do they play in other players on the phone?
Section question: Have you deleted them and re-copied them to the phone? It's possible that the files were corrupted during copy, or if the phone wasn't ejected properly from your computer.
No these are files i just copied them fresh into the phone... its weird because some of them seem to be working and a select few are not... I did not rename them either.
I did try downloading a few players from the market place and none of them played the songs that werent being played in mediascape. They did play fine in my palm pre though... any thoughts?
Hmm.. just delete them and recopy. Sounds like corrupted data. If that doesn't work, use a program on your PC to change the bitrate or file type (mp3 to aac).
hey
dont delete anything.
i used to have a problem by playing all media files only for 30 seconds. i tried everything, i used a lot of media apps, restart 10 times my fone.
eventually i decided to pull out my memory card and inserted it back. problem sovled.
try to remove your memory card and slide it back in. should be working fine.
let me know if that solved the issue
I am new owner on an EVO 4G. One of the first things I tried on my new EVO was to go to a website that I subscribe to and download an MP3 (Howard Stern ). It downloaded directly to the phone and I was extremely happy as I could not do this on my Palm Pre. Now, when I try to download an MP3 from the same website only days later the phone thinks it's trying to play a video. It starts to load up the file and then it says "Cannot play video" .... "Sorry, this video cannot be played". It’s definitely an MP3 and not a video file.
How as I able to successfully download this MP3 just days ago and now I cannot? I don't recall changing any settings that would cause this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
You are right, for some reason the phone is thinking its a video, or may a streaming file, when it isnt. Try long-pressing the link, and in the pop up menu hit Save Link, or Save Target. that will automatically download the file to the sd card. Just remember, anytime you cant figure out how to do something in an app, try long pressing, its the same as right clicking in windows.
