No Videoplayback in HTC Album - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime i capture a video, i cant play it directly out from the HTC Album. I can see the preview, but when i click the big playbutton, the screen turns black and nothing happens until I press the End-Call-Button to close.
But if I search the Video on my Storagecard and play it with Windows Media Player, it works.
Whats wrong? Is there a Codec or dll missing?
I've got the custom ROM (german) from udK, but maybe others have this problem too without having this rom.

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!

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.

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.

HTC Diamond and TCPMP player

Hi,
Does anyone know why the TCPMP player (ver: 0.72RC1 and 0.81RC1)
doesn't work on the TD. When I installed it, and open it for the first time,
and error pops up. crash.txt
does anyone have a fix for this problem, so I can run TCPMP player
normally.
thnx!
No, not at this moment. I use coreplayer and it works fine. The preference are almost the same...
No problems at all.

Hello, I have exactly the same ROM and Radio version and TCPMP doesn0't work. I've tried all versions found here : still nothing !
In fact I can install it but it's impossible to read MP4 videos.
Any idea ? Or the best will be to REALLY read MP4 videos with Window Media. That's still impossible despite what they said.
Help please

Same here. I even 'bothered' to read through all of Menneisyys articles and bibles and I couldn't find the solution in there either. Where would that be?
Anyone?
I installed the the TCPMP linked above and it works, in terms of turning on and playing media...
But i cannot get OPERA or IE to play videos on the TCPMP player. Both try to load windowsmobile media player... Wich obviously fails. How do i make TCPMP the default player for both browsers?
Black toolbar
Everything works, except the buttons in toolbar are hidden in black. Clicking on them still activate the functions, but just can't see it.
I had the same problem with crash.txt. I changed to the version for the diamond. No change. After playing around with it I found it to be one of the codec’s not compatible with wm6.1.
I uninstalled them 1 at a time and opened it until I found which one it was. Sorry can’t remember which 1 it was. (I use the core player now).
Its one of these,,
ac3.plugin
ffmpeg.plugin
flac.plugin
speex.plugin
vorbislq.plugin
wavpack.plugin
I searched but couldn't find. Does anyone else have a problem with distortion when enabling the equalizer? It's night and day difference and really bad.
Any work around for this?

No sound while recording video?

Hey guys.
Yesterday, I went to a Bullet for my Valentine concert here in Brussels. I took my brand new HTC Diamond with me to shoot some videos.
After that, I got home and decided to view them.
I couldn't hear no sound! (Volume of the phone checked)
Then I tried to shoot another video while having the phone in normal mode (not silent as in the gig) and still same isue...
Any solutions?
Regards
While in the video recording mode, click on the settings tab (bottom right, gear icon).
You should now be presented with four options, choose "Advanced"
Now at the bottom of the screen you should see a right and left arrow, click the right arrow once.
The second option from the top is "Record with Audio" I would take a good bet that yours is set to off... yeah go ahead and change that to on.
Hope thats your problem... if not, your outa' luck
I guess I'm out of luck then...
Does your mic work in general, such as in a phone call.
If yes, then your simplest solution but drastic fix. Is a hard reset.
Yeah, mic does work properly. I guess I'll try a hard reset then.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same problem. The sound while recording video is very low. looks like the hands free sound record type is not active while recording videos.
A hard reset doesn´t help. do you know if there is some king os tweak to solve this problem?

Try to uninstall TCPMP and other players or programs that could interfere with sound on your Diamond, soft-reset, and try to record again... maybe this could help.

Copy the file to pc. Rename the file and change the extension from ".MP4" to ".3gp".
Should play now on the Real Player or QuickTime.

HTC YouTube app no longer plays smooth!!

Looks like something have changed att youtube because it's like the built in youtube application is suddenly struggling to play the high res videos. It's not a buffering issue, I've checked that already. Videos get short pauses now and then, almost like the hardware acceleration is disabled. I doubt I'm the only one experiencing this...
Could you link me to this youtube app, please? I went directly to the youtube site yesterday and streamed a couple of short vids which played ok but with buffering. It played in the stream app on the phone and I couldn't zoom it or do full screen. What does the youtube app do differently? Does it allow better streaming or full screen or something?
I mean the original youtube app thats pre-installed in the Diamond. It uses hardware acceleration to play videos with nice quality and smooth framerate, now it's not that good anymore so I'm guessing something have changed at youtube... It's strange though...

Maybe your operator removed it from your Diamond rom??? You can install it separately, check here for info and the download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472940

Okey dokey, thanks. It's installed now and rebooting. I'll try the fix if it doesn't work. And no, I didn't know I needed the VGA version so thanks for pointing that out.
Ok, I installed the fix because the screen looked a bit messed up and the text is tiny and I can't seem to zoom in. Stil the same with the fix however the video runs very well. But, the capture area is a small square on the left bottom corner in landscape mode. I'll take some pictures of my screen for you.
Ok, here's 2 screenshots. It defaults to playing in landscape but only the small area you can see. Where I type to search, the letters are cut off (see 'CATS AND DOGS') and the text is microscopically small. Any adjustments I can make? Is it possible for the seartch to bring up more than 5 results?
At least it works though, very smooth playback.
That looks very strange... Videos should play fullscreen in landscape...
I suggest you to uninstall that version & the fix and get this version instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481495
It's a newer version of the HTC youtube player, download the second link, the full version: http://www.uploadjockey.com/download/4336552/Youtube_v1.6.1820.4128_FULL.zip

Thanks man, I'll give it a try.
This is odd. I've installed it successfully and it shows up in 'remove programs' but it doesn't show up anywhere else, nowhere to be found in program files, (the other version did), so I can't start the app. This happened when installing to the internal storage, uninstalling it, and reinstalling to the device.
I'll reinstall the earlier version and then do the upgrade version, see if that helps.
Yes that worked! Thanks for the links owziee
I notice that I can scroll up and down the list of videos with the centre button, but it doesn't respond to screen touch with finger, is it meant to be like that? Anyway, not bothered, just wondering. I'm happy now, the quality is great, it's full screen and the text is normal size now.
No thats not normal, I can use my finger to scroll but at least you can watch the videos now. Maybe you'll find a fix for the scrolling issue.

I suppose it may be that because your Diamond came pre fitted with a youtube app that perhaps it was optimised to work with touch screen? Whereas mine is a t mobile phone which didn't come with youtube on it.
