Hi,
I want to view streaming media files, so have download the TCMP cab and also the flashbundle cab to my desktop and then I copied them to my storage card on my Kaiser. However, they are not showing up as programmes in my programme files. I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what it is.
You need to run the CAB files on the Kaiser to actually install the programs. Navigate to the files using file explorer on the Kaiser and then tap them to open the CAB files. This will then kick-off the install process. Just follow the instructions from there; you'll have the choice of installing to main memory or the storage card.
Excellent, much appreciated !!
Well, I am pleased to announce that I can now stream videos, thanks to the help of this forum.
I have one other question though. When I stream a video, the playback pauses on a regular basis (and shows the coloured wheel) before resuming playback. Is there a cure for this?

i believe that just happens because ur streaming teh video...it needs to load...just like when u watch videos on ur computer live it needs to buffer
Hello everyone - I think either I've missed posts on this, my "buzz words" are not correct, OR... it's only MY issue.
Trying to download and play MP3s. The download perfectly to my computer. Now...
1. Took FOREVER to Active Sync the files over to MY DOCUMENTS for my device. Is there another way?
2. Now that they're over there, I successfully move them to my storage card. When I ask Media Player to "update the library", it pulls everything in to include my voice commands for TOM TOM!
3. I want to create a playlist, but for some reason I don't know how. I click on MY PLAYLISTS (selecting Storage Card of course), and it finds NOTHING!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Do you have a memory card reader for your computer? if so just load everything up on your memory card and just put it in your phone
No card reader I'm afraid. My wife has a Treo 650, and the files just FLY right over when she syncs. And now that the files are OVER there, I can't put them in a play list. I guess I don't know how. And I'm searching the net fevorishly trying to find out! The Treo 650 uses Real Player, and I'm using the Media Player that came with Dutty's 4/29 hybrid.

Try plugging the device into the computer, click on explore, mobile device, storage card, create a my music folder in there, then just select the songs you want to move, drag and drop them. It does take a little while to transfer, especially if the music files are good quality. After that is done, open windows media player search for new tunes, make sure it is searching in storage card, my music. That should do it. I never use activesync to move files. btw htc media player is very basic and doesn't have play lists wmp does.
I have an 8MB SDHC card in my TyTn II and was contemplating using Windows Media Player Synch. It says in the manual that you can aslo synch the storage card but regardless of what I try I cannot get WMP on the PC to see the storage card?? When I use Windows Explorer on the PC I can see and navigate to it and examine the content in it, but not with Windows Media Player? I have a My Music folder on the card and there are WMA and MP3 files in there.
Is it a WMP glitch perhaps or is there something I should have done (card formatting - it's a brand new card though, never been in another device) or perhaps need to do???
I recently had the same problem: I could view the contents of my 8GB Sandisk in File Manager, Total Commander or Resco Explorer, I could create, update and use the library in HTC Audio Manager, but WMP could not see the storage card and therefore could not update the library (it could work from its saved record of the library before I deleted that).
At the same time, Outlook began having problems. Any time I would try to open an attachment (attachments are stored on the storage card) it would take several minutes to open and the application (usually Word) would be so sluggish as to be unusable. Also, Pocket Player was taking about 5 minutes to start up (I'm assuming that it was doing a library scan before opening).
The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a new ROM. Hard reset and restoring a backup did not work and decided that if I was going to hard reset and start setting up again from scratch, which might work, then I might as well try a new ROM.

What version of WMP do you have on the PC and what OS? What you want worked OK for me with a Win XP Pro SP3 PC using WMP 11 and AS 4.5. WMP even categorised all my MP3s into individual artist folders on the card (6 GB Sandisk). WMP 11 saw my TyTN II and because I wanted to transfer more than the remaining internal storage space on my TyTN II worth of MP3s across, was clever enough to automatically put them all on the card.
I might try the ROM/WM 6.1 upgrade from the HTC site. I have it downloaded but was reluctant to install bearing in mind the various problem threads.
I am running Windiows Vista Business and have Media Player 11. It seems odd that Windows Explorer can see the Storage Card but not Media Player. I cannot add it by browsing via 'Add to Library' either. Not too crticial for me as there are other methods (indeed other players) to get music across but it's one of those things that now I know it's not working - I'd like to fix).
Hi All,
A few days ago, a client of mine brought me back his diamond saying that the music player was not working.
After more than 8 hours of trying to fix this issue by trying everything I could find on this forum and every possible solution my imagination could think of, I'm left no other choice than asking the community for help.
When ever I put a large amount of files on the storage card (around 3Gb) and use the TF3D interface to play the music, Audiomanger_eng.exe crashes (sometime other files crash but I forgot the names).
Now, I have tried pretty much everything:
1. I tried both WMP 11 to transfer the files and the direct copy/paste of the files to the storage card.
2. I tried putting another set of songs coming from a different PC
3. I tried having all the songs together in the same folder (that caused even more issues as album arts were overlapping) and I tried the WMP function to get each songs in its correct subfolder (ie: artist... Album...).
4. I tried deleting the database file of the AudioManager (which causes it to rescan all the files which it does but then crashes as it tries to play certain songs)
5. I tried on two different Diamonds, using 1.93 in English (HK), 1.93 in French, TOM_DiamondProject_v3.2, Dutty's latest rom. Through this I tried the original HARD SPL of HTC and also Olinex and another guy's one. (All the test I did using these various ROM created approximatively the same error though varied slightly from one ROM to the other)
6. I have also tried a million soft reset and hard resets.
7. I have tried loading the music in Windows Media Player Mobile which works perfectly but does not change anything to the problem I have with the TF3D player.
8. Following stevedpl7's comment, I went in the file explorer, created a new folder called My Music, then I cut and paste all the music from Storage/Music to Storage/My Music, went to the application data/HTC/AudioManager_eng/ and deleted the database file: AudioManager_Eng.vol, then I did a soft reset. When I now go to the music Tab, it crashes before I even get a chance to play a song. In the music list, I can see all the transferred files.
9. And many other small things....
Any idea or suggestions?
Just a quick question about where you are putting the music files?
I have exactly the same problem if i save my music foldes to Internal Storage\Music (which is where WMP saves them by default)
However when i created a 'My Music' folder in the Internal Storage\My Documents All worked fine. So Try....
Internal Storage\My Documents\My Music\''your music here''
As i said you may well have to create the 'My Music' folder, on my Diamond only My Pictures and My Videos were there by default.
Hope this helps.
I have the same problem, the only thing I can put it down to is the new 1.93 ROM from HTC, as it was working fine until I flashed the phone with this ROM.
I have tried the solutions above and it still isn't working, so if anybody else has further ideas please let me know, if not I'll wait for the official word back from HTC and post their solutions up here also.
Sadly, it didn't work either for me
Thanks you Stevedpl7 for the info, sadly I have tried and the problem even got worse
I went in the file explorer, created a new folder called My Music, then I cut and paste all the music from Storage/Music to Storage/My Music, went to the application data/HTC/AudioManager_eng/ and deleted the database file: AudioManager_Eng.vol, then I did a soft reset.
When I now go to the music Tab, it crashes before I even get a chance to play a song. I the music list, I can see all the transfered files.
Are those files made from scratch on your or the customer's PC, or were they downloaded from the Internet? I know that some downloaded MP3s are defective, furthermore some players do not understand all variations of the MP3-format like VBR, joint stereo et al. There is no strict "standard" for MP3, the technology has developed over the years and no one has made an attempt to define "levels" as they did with MPG-2 or with DivX. So there is always a level of uncertainty whether a player is able to play all files. A resampling with a MP3-software or even converting them from MP3 to WMA might help.
It's always a good idea to use WMP on the PC to create MP3 or WMA. Not because it excels in quality, but because it uses very standard features in the format.
Have fun!

They are mainly downloaded MP3s and a few WMAs. When I transfer the files using WMP, some are converted. The thing is that all these files work fine in Windows Media Player on the Phone.
I just realised that there is a possibility that if your MP3's has the album artwork embedded into the files. the audio manager would crash.
currently i'm doing a trial and error of it and have yet to fully test everything out just yet.
would anyone like to comment or verify if the embedded artwork might be the cause of crashes?
I think you are right. I have tried putting one song with the artwork embeded and it crashes the software!!!
erm. and yet. i did manage to sneak in one album with an embedded artwork. :\
but that was 1. i tried it with another album with the embedded artwork and had a crash.
I'm now thinking about giving up and installing TF3D config tool to hide the music tab and then install the old audio manager to play the music

This is painful...
just spent 3 hours trying to figure out which mp3's work and which doesnt.
like wth... i dont get it. someone please assist in explaining how audio manager works ?
Same problem here, anyone knows how to solve this?
Note even the original demo tunes work
Audiomanager worked fine before (1.37 ROM), but when I updated to 1.93.413.3 SVE not even the "built in" demo tunes work. It just hangs on the first tune... Removing the .vol file does not solve the problem. Windows Media player can play the tunes without problems.
Use MP3Tag to mass delete all coveralbum info from your MP3 files on the PC side and then resync everything back using WMP. This solved all freezing problems with the TF Audio Manager for me. MP3Tag can be found here: http://www.mp3tag.de/

Confirmed that this method does work
Works but people embed album art coz they want it to show up in the AudioManager in the first place. Now the only way to do is, is to extract the album art, rename it to folder.jpg and put it in the song's album folder. This is a really huge hassle especially if u've got tons of files embedded with album art....
Did you find a solution in the end ?
This issue is not tolerable for such a ppc... .
So if I happen to copy too many albums or mp3 files, my phone would crash and won't be the music ?

U have to remove your embedded album art from your mp3 first before transferring, and then extract that album art and put it in the same folder as the mp3 with the name folder.jpg. A huge hassle for people who have a huge collection of mp3s with embedded artwork.
Anyways, I've written to HTC Tech Support about this and "strongly suggested" to them a ROM update for this issue.
Audio Manager crash with mp3 in VBR mode ! I've converted my mp3 in CBR mode, and all went ok !
Is there a better solution to this than removing the embedded artwork?
Hi everyone,
Has anyone had any issues when trying to copy a .mp4 file onto their PC and playing it back?
I keep getting a Windows error message saying file type unsupported.
This is after a night of trying to get them to play on my partners naff PC, it was greenscreening all the videos...
I'm going to try to copy them onto my HDD instead of playing them through the phone > USB > PC.

Erm, have you tried VLC Player? It should play those files just fine. WMP is just a piece of sh*t...

Ofcourse... VLC was the first program I tried to run the videos in, then I moved onto a few other programs.
Tried them on my laptop and they are running fine. I think it's just my partners laptop, it's [email protected]
