Another windows media player today plugin

Dont know if this is new or not, but I just installed this windows media player today plugin. I've been using the SPB plugin one and I have to say, this ones better in my opinion. It actually controls the windows media player you have running and remembers the last song where as the SPB plugin will actually start another windows media player playing two songs which gets annoying sometimes.
Test it out for yourself

how do you get this to show on the today screen,I installed it on my 8525 and it installs fine but nothing on my today screen and i cannot choose it as an option either!

After I installed it successfully, there was not today plugin so I went to the Today Options in settings and there was a new plugin names windows media, and it was already marked so I unmarked it and hit ok, then went back in there and marked it again and it worked. Hoped that helps you

YOUTUBE is not working on HTC TYTN II anymore....

Hi All,
I have been using YOUTUBE on my HTC TYTN II since last two months through FlashVideoBundle.CAB and TCMP and it was working flawlessly until I checked yesterday.
Now I am not able to see any videos on www.ytpocket.com and moreover when I go to main www.youtube.com and click on a video and say either save or play it shows me error message “youtube swf args not found”.
Please help me to sort out this problem.
Thanks.

Download the new flashbundle from this thread m8.
Be sure to uninstall the old one before you install the new one.

Hi, Thanks for prompt reply....
Are you sure it will not screw any existing applications as i was able to stream youtube before and apart from youtube i am still able to stream videos from other websites like goggle videos, VEOH videos, DIVX STAGE6 videos etc...
It is just a concern.....
Thanks for your help

Not sure about that, guess you'll just have to try and find out.
Just out of curiosity, how do you stream vids from stage6? Is there a plugin or a certain player for that?

I use TCMP and FlashVideoBundle for Stage 6, Just you need to associate divx files with TCMP.

Just as additional information, in the event that someone had the same problem as me.
I had problems through wifi where it failed to connect.
The phone had defaulted to trying to connect through "My ISP" in the streaming media app options. To get it working through wifi, just change the option to connect through "The Internet" and it goes for the wifi rather than the phone network (which I have disabled with Modaco".

I just tried m.youtube.com and everything works as usual. I use HTC Streaming Media, it intergrates with browser perfectly. You can find a cab floating somewhere on the forum.

Sorry to hijack the thread man, but I thought it might be better not to open a new one for a very similar problem.
I had to hard reset my device yesterday and then I've installed everything back.
Now youtube doesn't work as it is supposed to. When I'm watching a stream in landscape mode and I want to see it full screen, it rotates back to portrait.
Before the hard reset it was working just fine. What could it be?
Thanks.

The ROMeOS Rom works very well with YouTube. If you want to try it here it is, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406346. It as actually a very good, stable, and fast Rom. It is on the Lite side and an excellent base to add just what you want in your Rom.

TCPMP does not work

hey there..
I have downloaded TCPMP and installed it, but it gives me some error.. others that has experienced that? its only on my diamond ..

same problem here, i tried last official release and the release 0.72 or so
extracted from another htc device, dunno from whitch.
you should use coreplayer or the divx mobile player (this one does not have that much preferences )

you try it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2061081&postcount=1

There's a bug with the older TCPMP and coreplayer versions.
Coreplayer 1.2.5 and onwards works great on the HTC Diamond though!

there is a special compiled version v072 on the forum somewhere.
it works perfectly with the diamond

found it, installed it, tested it, works fine!:

did you have any blacked out buttons on your screen when opening tcpmp,like the play button and the one next to it?
I tried flashvideo bundle out aswell but couldnt get IE as default browser so I gave up.
The the divx playback in tcpmp is pretty impressive so i will keep it on there anyway.

ejp, black icons for me, too. a flaw i can live with

Different album art for same mp3

Hello,
I'm not too sure if my problem is a unique one. I have searched the forums and most threads, if not all, that I managed to find dealt with trying to get album art to display on their HTC Diamonds. If you find that my problem has indeed been answered previously, I would very much appreciate a link to a thread where I may find my answer, thank you.
My problem here is slightly different: for a single mp3 file, the TF3D player displays a different cover from anywhere else (Windows Explorer, WMP, Winamp, mp3tag). Allow me to give some background info on this:
I have embedded my mp3s with their respective album arts. Every song displayed properly with its album art in the TF3D player previously, since the first day I bought my phone back in July 2009. However, recently (about a couple weeks ago) when I uploaded a Korean song, the entire library of album art has been wiped out in the TF3D player and all songs now display that album art of this Korean song.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot:
1) I copied out all my mp3's to my laptop. In Windows Explorer, the original cover art is displayed. I opened the files with mp3tag in hope of retagging them, but I found the original cover art there too. I played the files in Winamp, and the cover art is correct as well.
2) I opened the files using File Explorer on my Diamond. It launched in WMP and the cover art was displayed properly there as well.
3) I deleted all the files on my Diamond and recopied just one single file (say, a Beyonce song) into the Diamond. It still displays with the Korean cover art.
4) I tried the solution of deleting the HTC folder under Application Data, while maintaining the Beyonce song as the only song in my phone. Cover art goes blank for a while while it loads... then back to Korean cover art.
5) I have flashed my ROM, did a clean format with MTTY. Still Korean cover art. If it helps, I am running the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.
From 1) and 2), it seems that the original cover art has not really been replaced by the Korean one, since the real one can still be displayed via other means.
And since cover arts have been displaying properly for the past half a year that I've been using my phone, I would say it should be safe to eliminate the possibility that I am embedding my tags wrongly.
So would anyone have any idea why this is happening, please?
Thank you for your time in reading my lengthy post!

Check your global file associations on your device for all mp3 or audio files using something like Schaps Advanced Config that will show those. It sounds like this cover art has been set as the default somehow.

I'm sorry -- what am I supposed to check using that? For my Diamond, the mp3 files have WMP as their default player.
By the way, if it helps, I am using the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.

If you run Adv. Config. click on the right softkey and select file associations and make sure your mp3s are associated with wmp or the player of your choice. See if there might be anything there that might give any insight as to why you are having this issue.
It could be a bug with the rom you are using. You could flash your stock rom at least twice then flash back to the custom rom of your choice.

The .mp3 extension is associated with WMP. I'm not too sure if file associations would cause this issue because I am opening the mp3's with the TF3D player... by doing so, I am already opening it from a specific player... it would not matter which program opens it "by default", would it?
Is formatting with MTTY equivalent to flashing the stock ROM? Because I've been flashing my ROM quite a few times over the past week and I don't want to flash anymore. =) But this problem came in before I started using the current ROM (I loaded the Korean song, messed up the stuff, and then flashed my ROM)...
Anyway, my deepest appreciation for your help so far mr.horndoctor! Thank you!

Yeah, I think you're right about the file associations. Sorry. Hmm...I honestly don't know about the mtty format since I am cdma but you've definitely got something embedded in your manila files causing this. That's why I was thinking flashing the shipped rom should overwrite everything. Then if you have all traces of that cover art gone from your music before you reinstall it to your device, it shouldn't resurface. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes! Good Luck Friend!!

JP6 Issues

The first thing I noticed was the need to download and install a new version of Task Manager through the Market.
Reinstalled all applications through AppBrain as the Market did not retain the record of my downloads.
Added Apps to my Home screens with no worries.
Today after Power Off the phone took ages to restart. Holding down the power on button solicited a vibration from the phone and then some time later the phone started.
After Power Off some of the applications on my Home screen disappeared:
Angry Birds
Cestos 2
Find Differences
Meteorlite WVGA
Slugs
After adding them back to the home screen I switched off again and back on. Same issue.
Same applications disappeared from the home screen and another App called Open Sudoku.
Anyone experiencing these issues on their i9000.?
Thinking of doing a factory reset of the phone, clearing the cache, format internal memory. Complete clean.
Start again.
Thought?

Starting fresh would be best and only option imho. On a sidenote have you noticed if you moved App 2 SD , the SD card doesn't get mounted when in external mode? I have as yet looked into it but I noticed I've lost external SD but it works fine inside the phone

Don't even know how to get into external mode. All the applications were installed at the same time so I assume they were all install to the same location. Your idea could be a valid one though. I have noticed Froyo is scanning for media each time the device is turned on. It's posible the icons are lost as a result of not retaining this information until the scan picks up on it.

Yep found out the Market/AppBrain had created a new profile as a result of the phones identification changing from phone to Samsung Galaxy S. Moving the applications across solved the problem.

I did a complete clean of the device and left the external memory card out of it while installing. All issues appear to be resolved for now but will continue to monitor it.

Found a new problem. Movie playback. Sound and video is out of sync by as much as 10 sec.
The movie plays perfectly on my laptop. Its a divx which I was led to believe can be played on this device. 25frames per sec video, sound is 112kbps, 2 channel, 48khz.
Any thoughts on this issue.

Problem solved.
Looks like Samsung lost the plote on this issue as well.
Running the movie in the built in player results in a sync problem between sound and video, 5 to 10sec.
Play the movie in Rockplayer Universal and the movie plays perfectly.
Is their an alternative player I can use which is free?

Mvideoplayer is be your cup of tea

Mvideoplayer it is then.
Noticed when I add an external SD, Froyo creates two folders on the SD. Namely .android_secure and LOST.DIR
Any ideas on what creates these and for what or why?

Mvideoplayer has the same issues as the internal Samsung player. Out of sync sound and video. I get the feeling Samsung buggered something up with the coding for xvid and divx.
Two players with the same issues.
When I tested Rockplayer Universal it asked me if I should use the SystemMode or NormalMode. SystemMode I think uses Samsung System Files in some way and the result was a problem with alignment sound and video. Tested Rockplayer Universal in NormalMode I think used it's own internal files and it ran perfectly.
I guess JP6 is not as release worthy as we think it is.

When i first installed JP6 via kies had problems with apps not appearing on the android widget screen, the market icon didn't appear needed to do a facotry reset for that one, was slow and lagged. When i'm browsing for apps in the market place, using the 3g network, there was a constant error message popping up and couldn't download.
OCLF didn't work at first! needed to do a factory reset and then run the oclf, after which most of these problems seem to have been resolved, don't know how but now runs smoothly. Big thanks to ryan!!!!! samsung should employ you for their android software development team.
God help the sgs newbies who don't know about android, i jumped ship from the iphone 3g.
