Hi, I would like to be able to play OGG media files on my kaiser. I installed TCPMP but when I run it I get an "Unexpected program failure".
Is there any other software one can use, or a way to install the codec so media player can use it?
thanks!
GSPlayer
seems that GS Player was all I could find. It's pretty poor compared to "audio manager" but does the job if necessary.
lol you wont find anything official. When do you ever see Mr Gates wanting to support any form of open source
I use PocketMusic to play my ogg's and mp3's, works great! Not free though..
The Mort Player !!

Took some video at a club last night. It's saved on my device as an MP4.
Even though I have it set to record audio as well, I can't seem to get audio to play when I watch the video in windows media player.
Is it possible the audio was recorded, but I just don't have the correct program for it to play properly?
When I copy to my PC via activesync, what program can I use for an MP4 file? Winamp and windows media player will not play the file.
thanks, I realize these are kind of newb questions.
I use Nero Showtime ... for some reason, quicktime will not play these MP4 files ... they may be formated differently.
Thanks. Are there any freeware options for playing these videos?
I wonder if this is related to the video driver issue.
download Videolan or also called VLC. Its an excellent standalone program that does not require any codecs. Its free too.
Can anyone recommend a good media player for the Kaiser?
I've tried TCPMP which I've never got to play a single file, EVER, and WMP is ok, but not great. I've got some videos from LearnVisualStudio.net in WMV format but I cant play them.
What is the best media player for the Kaiser?
In my opinion, Coreplayer is the best.
It seems odd that you've never managed to get TCPMP to play anything... It's one of the most widely used media players for PPC, because of it's ability to play almost ANY video/music file, and with the settings provided in this thread, you can ensure you have excellent quality too...
Hi,
I tried using Windows Media player to play songs but they do not support copy right m4a files and other misc audio formats. Thus i used TCPMP player which is good to solve the problem but it does not have a SEARCH function.. any advice and other takes on other audio players?
Audio Manager is good. Works when display is off.
S2P or Slide 2 Play is the best one.
Audio manager is good but you can't specify a single folder to use, it will automatically scan for all mp3 and sometimes other audio files on the mem card. I it wasn't for that I would say Audio Manager.
I tested S2P but it does not have the SEARCH function, it doesn't even support playlist function... but its interface is very nice... any more better audio players out there?
I use Mortplayer and I also tried GSPlayer earlier on (both shouldn't be hard to find).
DUDE, this is a phone not an mp3 or a qps device. You don't need to play audio..
tcPiMP gets my vote.
Mort Player
Mort player is my favorite!
It has it all - great for Audio books too!
Get it here:

Beta version
Vista Skin

Enjoy!

are you kidding me? why do people like you always chime in like this w/ irrelevant replies
"i dont use my phone for this, so i think its dumb that anyone else uses its for (blank) purpose"
if you forgot, there are phones like the iphone, sony ericson music phones, nokia n series, etc that are great multipurpose phones...which is EXACTLY what the kaiser is. if you're gonna stick w/ that ideology why don't you stick to a nokia 3395.
PocketMusic Rocks
For me this is a serious bit of kit. It's my phone, GPS, personal organizer and now an MP3 player in the car. That was made possible with PocketMusic - http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
Get the full version otherwise the real benefits are not seen.
I recently just bought a touch pro sprint phone. I installed .NetCF 3.5 and then installed Advanced Config. I proceded to change,Change file system cache to 8MB,Change file system filter cache to 131072,Change Glyph cache to 32KB. That was the only tweak I have done. Besides that I put google maps cab and torch button cab on there.
For the most part its pretty much stock the way it came. I was wondering about a different media player. I havnt used the media player that came on my phone much but everyone on the net claims it sucks and says TCPMP is best..is it? OR is there a better media player?? And is it worth changing to a new media layer?? If anyone has any tips let me know..I want to make this phone as cool as I can but there is a lot of apps I dont feel I need.
Let me know
Thanks
In as few words as possible, yes, it's better. TCPMP is capable of many more formats, for one thing. It has better playlist support, for another. Frankly, the HTC audio manager is a better music player than WMP, and I hate them both (I'm a staunch MortPlayer supporter for music playback). For video, I have tried many, but I've only been happy with TCPMP. I'm usually NOT a big fan of uni-task software, but MortPlayer and TCPMP are the total cream of the crop in music and video playback on portable devices. Their price only serves to make them more desirable.
One word of warning: if you start flashing home-cooked ROMs, and it seems almost everyone on XDA does, at some point, check to see if the cook has included it. Many who do not include TCPMP have jibed their ROM so much that it doesn't work with TCPMP, no matter what you try.
TCPMP is better than WMP on the Touch Pro, as it supports many more formats. It's what I use. I'm currently using NRG's EnergyRom 3.0 (I believe there's a CDMA version of it for you Sprint users), which has TCPMP included, along with latest versions of Google Maps, .NET CF, AdvConfig, and other utilities. I would definitely recommend flashing that badboy with a custom rom- you'll notice a huge difference.
Btw, don't listen to the over-blown performance claims of those touting CorePlayer- their QTV driver doesn't work worth a damn on our devices. I've tried it on my Fuze- trust me, it's not worth the money.

That’s not completely true. The best results will depend on which format you are trying to play. For example, WMV plays best on windows media player and AVI plays best on the Core player. Core player works great if you have the correct settings. You’re best “free” option is TCPMP.
Search for this version:TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB
Tried them all and TCPMP has it's uses. If you are going to encode movies to watch on your device put them in m4v and TCPMP is pretty darn good.
When it comes to music playback though I will have to disagree with the above posts. I have tried them all as well and the absolute best in my opinion is Nitrogen. Simply awesome.
It's best for video. Music will be up to your preferences. I use WMP for Today Screen and Voice command integration
What advantages does updating rom do for phone? NRG's EnergyRom 3.0..is this the rom I should use??And what is this sprint CDMA version?Is it a rom?
and do I need to back up before deciding to upgrade to this cdma version? Sorry for all the questions,you guys are awesome.how do I tell what ROM i
have on my phone as of right now?
And!!! I just installed skyfire..should I be deleting enternet explorer off my phone if I only use skyfire now?? And If I get the tcpmp should I delete windows media player??
Thanks

WMP and IE are considered system files. Good luck deleting them without crippling something. Just ignore them and/or delete the shortcuts from the programs menu.
As for the rest of the advice, if you don't know the difference between CDMA and GSM, and don't know which one your phone is, I would forget about flashing my phone, until I knew it like the back of my hand, if I were you, unless you want to turn your shiny, expensive phone into a shiny, expensive brick.
Hint: you have a CDMA phone, which means a ROM written for GSM will completely and irreversibly disable your phone.
Yeah, there's no deleting PIE or WMP (you can try, but you will fail, lol). You're going to have to cook your own rom, and figure out how to remove them without screwing a bunch of other things up. They still come in handy from time to time. I'm not sure how well ringtones work without wmp-I guess another media player can handle them. PIE is good for downloading off of rapidshare or other sites where there's a countdown. It's also good for logging into free wifi networks. The HTC Streaming Video works well with it, too.
Before you delete any built in apps, download and play this video clip (15 MB)
http://rapidshare.com/files/268091340/Comedy_Central_Stand-Up_Erin_Foley.mp4
It is a podcast video from Comedy Central. I did not encode it. It is MP4 and I might have renamed the .m4v extension to .mp4 (can't remember). the resolution is 600x400 (or so) with a decent bitrate.
TCPMP won't play it
Coreplayer won't play it/
Windows Media Player will play it
HTC Album will play it
TCPMP and Coreplayer are software-only renderers. WMP and HTC album use hardware acceleration built into the Qualcomm chipset.
It seems that only MP4 (m4v) formats have native h/w support on Raphael. I don't know if .wmv is also supported.
I also use TCPMP and Coreplayer (own it). Each has pluses and minuses.
I need some help finding a media player that plays Realvideo VBR files. I have been using the search. I can't seem to find anything.
Anyone???
did you tried coreplayer
greetz
to me coreplayers is a fine video player and i think he can also play VBR files

I tried this player it doesn't work.
I agree. I don't have video, but audio works fine.
Can anyone make -
RealPlayer
Version 11
work on our phones????
I think you won't get any software work with new Real Player as the codec driver never release to Windows Media Platform so far, i heard is becoz due to the license agreement between Nokia and Real. Correct me if i m wrong, i also hope i can play rmvb file in my phone instead wasting money to buy a device just for doing this.
i found some files and reg from somewhere and got rmvb to run on my fuze, but it is really slow. Not sure if it's worth it. PM me your email and i could send you the files.
