WMP wont play files from anything but ROM - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Im having trouble with WMP all of a sudden. It simply refuses to play anything from my memory card nor will it stream anything from the net.
Playing stuff from the ROM works just fine though.
This started happening after I installed a CAB which supposedly was meant to increase codec support in WMP. (Found it here in a thread whixh I cant seem to locate again.)
I uninstalled this 'addon' but it still doesnt work properly.
Is there any way to repair or reinstall WMP?
Any help would be appriciated
(Reccomending alternate players is not any help in this case though. )

I say hard reset...

I was hpoing that someone perhaps could post their default reg entries for WMP and/or package their wmp associated files in a zip or something.
My WMP version is 10.3 18125, if someone could 'rip' their settings and files that would be very much appriciated!

I had similar problems too after I did the registry tweak to speed up SD/MMC transfer speed. In fact, that tweak caused alot of file reading issues for me. Have you checked if you have done this tweak too?

Thanks vicott, you the man!
Really strange, I've been using it for several days (several hours a day with loads of different apps) and WMP was the ONLY app that had a problem with this tweak.
Guess I'll leave it disabled for now.
Or maybe try 128 instead of 256 for the tweak.
Edit: nope, still no go, only 64 seems to work.

Watch Youtube on your Wing (actually all WM6 devices)

Ok everyone I know some of you may know about this, and some of you may not, but there is a way to watch Youtube videos on your WM6 device. And no, I'm not talking about the downloading, saving and relaunching way. It works the way it (more or less) should, you click the link and the video plays. Just use these two files that I'm posting for you. Here's all you have to do.
1. If you have a version TCPMP already installed, uninstall it. Then SOFT RESET!!!
2. Install the tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab file
3. Then install the FlashVideoBundle-v1-2.cab file.
4. SOFT RESET
5. Go to youtube and enjoy!
Hope this helps.
Does not work on mine
When trying to play You Tube on my TMO Wing, the windows media player opens and then a box opens with message "Unspecified error".
I get a message about not being able to open the file after I get a warning about a system command that might be harmful to run. It says that the file is not signed with a cleared certificate or that one of the components doesn't exist. It tells me to reinstall the components if the problem continues.
Hmmm, maybe I need to rename some files.
Did a little snooping with the explorer, but could not see any files that could be problematic, like language locked files.

Did you soft reset after installing the 2 cabs? Becuase if done right, Windows Media player wont be the default player for the files.
Storage Card
Would these work if I install them on a storage card?
I'm completely empty on storage space.

From what I've heard yes, but they both have to be installed onto the storage card. I don't have one yet so I can't confirm it.

It might be lagging just because the GPRS/Edge network you're on. Try it using a wi-fi connection, if it still lags, then I would suggest a couple of things:
1. Use the Quick Page Pool changer to change your Page Pool to 6MB to free up some RAM
and/or
2. Use Battery Status to overclock your device.
Good luck!

CorePlayer 1.2 Just Released!

Anyone try it yet? Downloading now...
Installed last night over v1.1.3 without issue. I just have coreplayer installed, no TCPMP or flash bundles. I went to m.youtube and picked a video, Core opened and streamed it nicely. It looks pretty much the same as before but the change log certainly shows a ton of fixes and tweaks.
I installed it too, and still cannot play files from m.youtube. I have TCPMP and flash installed.
Also still cannot get audio from ac3 files, do you have the same?
gnollo,
Go into Core Player menu>tools>preferences>select page>File Associations and set RTSP protocol (check the box).
Bingo-m.youtube.com
Does ist only support m.youtube? Or is there a chance to get it working with full youtube like TCMP with Videoflashbundle?
They promise full youtube support later this month
Ac3 will only be supported later

Guys,
Don't get your hope high for Youtube, it will never happen the way TCMP does with flash bundle...
Personally, I am very disappointed with Core Player's progress, I brought the very first version of CP on the day it was released back in Oct 06 and an year and half later, it's hardly any different (my opinion) Betaboy will tell us of millions of fixes, improvements etc but I am not convinced at all. I am still using TCMP Player.
Here is confirmation from Betaboy...
"As far as YouTube... we do not play ANY flash video... nor will we ever with the restrictions Adobe has on the Flash Container (even though we do support it internally for testing purposes only)"

tried that but no change.
CP shows filename and duration after loading, but the video never appears. I tried moving along the timeline, no change.
seems better than previous versions
It might be a soon judgment / coincidence though, but the 1.2 which replaces my 1.1.3 plays smootlhly (in QTV mode)
Is it the extra twealing they did, or the DCS V1.7 ROM...(the fastest I tested so far) it will stay a mistery.
Gonna try VBenchmark tomorrow to see if we get a +1800 score .
No youtube playback through Coreplayer...

Been having the same problem as you. I even flashed a new ROM to my Kaiser, but to no avail.

Could you check please to see what you may have installed that is bringing you success? Flash application? TCPMP without FlashBundle or whay?
Any ideas Betaboy?
QTV does not work for LG KS20
The QTV mode does not work with coreplayer 1.2 on my LG KS20, all I get is a black screen. Do I have to do something to have this program working as advertised for the MSM 7200 chipset ?
I searched this forum and found another KS20 user stating that the 1.1.3 was already not working and some users having differents PPC having the same black screen problem. I found a post on the 1.2 release thread on the coreplayer forum where another KS20 user was having the same blank screen problem. Did anyone found how to get rid of it ? I bought coreplayer yesterday for QTV support, and since it does not work, it is useless for me since TCPMP is working as well as this product without QTV support.
If someone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
Edit : the rtsp protocol does not work either, and I have the same problem as the user on the coreplayer forum : I can no more view rtsp streams with WMP when I uncheck this protocol support in coreplayer. Any help about this too ?
Could someone tell me whether CorePlayer can play audio files using a simple folder-type structure - i.e. just a plain list of files in their folder order, NOT using ID3 album/artist/genre/inside-leg-measurement/etc tags.
What I have at the moment (playing via PocketMusic 4) is just one AUDIO folder on my storage card, and within that there's a PODCAST folder, a RADIO folder and a SONGS folder. These three folders are updated automatically every time I sync my device to my PC so that any newly fetched podcasts, individual song downloads, etc are copied into the three folders silently.
When I launch PocketMusic, it scans the whole AUDIO folder and creates a list of all my MP3 files, showing the podcast files at the top, then radio stuff and finally songs (with each folder's contents neatly sorted alphabetically). Playback returns to the last played item and position by default, which is great for those two-hour podcasts that I can't listen to in one session. Once I've listened to a podcast, I just delete the file via PocketMusic from the device, and the sync program will later delete the PC copy too. All really simple and neat and totally automatic.
I guess the one big downside is that is won't play video podcasts. I've looked at lots of other programs, but nothing else seems to offer this very logical load-list-on-startup and sort by folders facility. Will CorePlayer do this sort of thing?

Hey! Where the heck to you set 1.2 so that if you put your device to sleep (lock the keys and turn off the backlight) the music continues to play?

whocares2... let me first offer you a refund as "it does not work, it is useless for me". Second we will look into the WMP fill assoc bug.
Also... Did you follow the other threads here about QTv and what we did to get it to work? But point taken in that we we not 'officially' state QTv support but we will mark it as 'unofficial'.

WMP Mobile - Does not play 3GP files ??

I know for a fact that in my Shipped Tilt ROM, WMP played .3GP files. After my ATT WM6.1 Upgrade (3.55.502.1) 3GP files do not play in WMP.
Is there a codec which can be installed? Or Reg edits that can be done in order to get the .3GP functionality back? TCPMP has pixelated 3GP playback which sucks for veiwing media.
I've searched Tirelessly to no avail -- All ive come up with is the following --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366471 -- I found these codecs, and they did not work for me. Furthermore, the idea of using a 3rd party software is unapealing to me -- Again, i know that wmpm has played 3GP before.
AT&T has yet to release an "official" 6.1 build, so the beta version you are running could quite possibly have issues with playback of 3GP files. I would try flashing a different AT&T 6.1 build. There are several options available on XDA.
AT&T Behind the times. Taking their time on releasing something?
SHOCKING!
What kind of registry edits, codecs, or imported .dll's could fix this issue? If it has worked before, shouldnt it be possible for it to work again?
I do understand that getting this to work is kinda pointless because there are alternatives; however i just want it to work. ha .

Right but given that there are so many different possible combinations of Reg Settings, codecs, and dlls. The only reasonable way to know is to try different Roms.
I would love to know which reg settings and/or .dll's need to be modified or added to get .3gp to work.

Cellular Video restored? How?

I'm using aruppenthals rom and would like ot get CV back on this device. There is a post on NAFT's thread (v3.2 ... 4 Flavors Total) where he says to go to post 4 and download the modified Opera.ini file, drop into Windows\Opera9 and install the cab file to make this feature work again. I can find neither file anywhaere. Can someone tell me where to find theese items and something a little more specific than 'somewhere in the 148 page thread.
you can use these two cabs and it should work again for you. one is the CV and the other is realplayer not to be confused with REALONE player. the actual controls will be a little garbled in the player since this was a cab Sakajati (chef) extracted for the tilt (qvga). vids play fine though.

All in one solution
Use the attached file, it an all in one solution. It will install Real Player and Cingular Video and it's much smaller footprint. Just remember to change your user agent to HTC-8900 with Advanced Config and to run the Hidden proxy.
only problem with that cab is it will keep asking you to save them to the device first. my cab will stream them, no need to save them.
I've tried both with no success. Either way Real palyer does not even open. The 'Streaming Media' player opens and then errors out saying something about not being able to. I'm guessing that it is not set to be the default player in this rom. I'm using rup's 3.3 .
First off you need to change the Opera.ini file. Its located (some ROM's may vary) in the "Windows" under the "Opera9" folder.
Lately there have been a lot of errors "File re-entry not allowed" with Streaming Media Player. I think it is a compatibility issue with the ROM's.
If you are getting this error there is no need to change it to Real Player if you don't want to. I am not going to take credit for this, just in finding it. I would give the page where I found it, but unfortunately I cant remember where. Below is a cab, install it to your device and it should play video again just fine. The only problem right now is the fact that the player doesn't match the screen size, but at least the videos play.
Both these files are in my CAB FILES BELOW on 4shared under AT&T Fuze, cab's, "fixes".

They won't work because streaming media player has registry settings to open when you click the button to stream the content. Most custom ROM's now come with it built in and make it uninstallable.
In order to change the "streaming content" to Real Player would require you to change those settings. Can be done, but without being able to delete the streaming media player, to me its just a waste of space.

So I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm sorta in the dark here. First off, it's taken me forever just to find a download of the AT&T CV cab file! (This is actually more about the blood feud between me and the XDA search engine. )
I seem to be missing something, though. Where do these two cabs, Opera.ini and Diamond Streaming Media, fit in the whole CV solution? Am I still supposed to install the 'ATT_Cellular_Video_v2.cab', but use this streaming media cab instead of the RealPlayer cab above? What if I already have streaming media installed? (Which I do. Using EnergyROM 3.0)
Also, for god only knows what reason, when I tried to start CV after installing the cab provided above, it started PIE, NOT Opera. And it said it couldn't find the "http://cingularvideo.cingular.com", which is what it defaulted to.
I've seen about a dozen postings about the Opera.ini file, but none of them tell you what to do after that! I suppose if you've gotten the "only on 3G" error, you're already far enough ahead of me to know that!
Anyway, If the CV app tries to get to a site that doesn't even exist, where do you go from there?!?
Hell, I don't even fully understand what the "CV" app itself does, if you can go through a browser and have some streaming video app installed, then what does this app do? Obviously, I've never even gotten that far!
BTW, I have tested to make sure my device it attached to the web. I can reach anywhere else. I'm also set up to use wap.cingular, and I have the hidden proxy installed.
Basically, I need help understanding which of the above installation files goes with which, and what the CV app is supposed to do when it starts, since I assume opening IE to go to an address it can't reach is not standard behavior!
Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
P.S. The Opera.ini cab above contains an "Opera.ini.txt" file. Shouldn't it just be Opera.ini?

WM6.1 will not play .3gp but WM6 will

When I upgraded to the WM6.1 (RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe), I found that my videos with file extension ".3gp" will no longer play.
I get a simple Windows Media error "Cannot play the file".
When I reverted back to the original WM6 the one that came with my AT&T Tilt (RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe), my .3gp files would play normally.
Does anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks in advance.
TCPMP-0.72RC1 can handle .3gp files. Google the .cab
Hope that helps.

This cab won't work.
Hmmm... well this sucks... Right now, I'm not seeing any "value add" for my upgrading to WM6.1 The only thing I'm seeing differently is the threaded IM's, the zoom feature in IE, and the time "plug in" to the Today screen. Of these, the only real value to me is the Today screen. But since I use SPB mobile shell, it's somewhat redundant!
Am I missing any other feature?

Sorry, I should told you to go to Options>Settings>Select Page>File Associations and make sure MPEG4 files (MP4,MOV,3GP.... is checked.
Hope you didn't already uninstall TCPMP.
My 6.1 plays 3gp files... strange thing is that when copying them to my device, I receive an error msg stating that WM 6.1 can copy the file for storage or transportation but will not be able to play the file, or something along those lines. However the file plays fine
Any more on this? I cant get .3GP files to play at all on my phone... Im running 6.1 on my tilt..
Players available:
TCPMP 0.71 RC1 Recomp 03
Pocket Tunes 4.1.1.2046
They will both play *.3gp perfectly fine.
Thank you very much. Your 4shared is amazing
