Hey all!
I registered here in the hope that someone here can help me out with my Xperia.
Since a couple of days, my Media Player gives me an error message when i try to playback mpeg encoded movies (even the original bond trailer doesnt work anymore). Error Message: 'Der Quellfilter für diese Datei konnte nicht geladen werden.', should translate something like 'The source filter for the specified file could not be loaded'. MP3's work fine, the error message appears only for movies.
Now, the trick is, i haven't recently installed any apps or tried anything funny. Nor do I have any of the Touchflo stuff installed. So i'm baffled from where this error appears out of the sudden. Looks like some screwed settings or files. Any idea how to fix this (reinstall media player, or restore the 'source filters' without the need of a hard reset?
thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide
ps. if only windows (mobile or not) would point into a direction where the problem is instead of just barking error....
I have had this problem before. It is one of two things. Either you have messed up your video drivers and will need to hard reset, or the file type associations have been scrambled. To fix the file types you will need to download SKtools and follow this tutorial, if you can't do it by yourself.

I think you will need to do a hard reset in the end, but it will not hurt to try lol.
Hmm, I've tried the three versions of SKTools (v5, standard and free) and I'm unable to find the menu point you described in any of them. I found a system tweaks category but it doesnt include settings about file types.
Anyways, the more i'm thinking about this, the more i'm wondering if it's a file association problem, since when I try to launch a video, Media Player starts, and it's Media Player itself which gives me that error.
I'll try and keep searching for that file association thingy, but it seems i'll end up with a hard reset.... yikes....
Bah, I found it. Always the same, you end up finding things after you post about not finding them...
Let's see if I get it to work now...

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.
wmp10 says something about the player supporting the format im trying to play and tcpmp says it cant open url. ive searched everywhere.
can someone please help
thanks
try siriuswm5 from geekstoolbox.com

i posted a thread a while ago
http://www.geekstoolbox.com/
this is the site you can get it from directly
awsome got it to work on WMP tcmp says i dont have the correct codec
i used the standard windows media player and it worked perfectly
See my related article in the Wiki
New HTC Kaiser, AT&T ROM 1.62.502.0
SiriuCE 2.0.1sp
Windows Mobile 6 Pro
Updated the Channel list fine, logs in fine
Using WMP10, it is invoked saying it is 'locating' and after what I think is 60 or so seconds, then returns the error "cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play"
Using TCPMP 0.72RC1 (latest) I get "Can't open URL"
I've tried variations of soft resets and switching players, so far no luck.
You mention a wiki article, but i am unable to find it in the long list of links in the XDA-Wiki page...if you think that might help me resolve this issue, can you link to it please?
I wonder if this isn't a compatibility issue with the latest Compact Framework that ships with this ROM/WM6? Not sure at the moment how to remove this....thoughts?
Thanks very much
UPDATE:
Resolved.
Uninstalled
Reinstalled from GeeksToolBox: http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showpost.php?p=3292&postcount=2

I also installed TCPMP from that link, but didn't need it.... soft reset, loaded SiriuCE, and bingo - Sirius on my Kaiser under WM6.
Hello All...
I have spent DAYS reading here and other places on the web looking for an easy 1step solution for my problem... I have installed S2P and it is great... I love to play the game "Anything your phone can do, mine can do better" to iphone people.. lol.. Anyways, here is my problem..
The S2P software was not displaying the album art so I couldn't do the cool flip throug hte CD thing... So in Monday I decided to try to fix that... I did some reading, and checked if my WIndows Media Player Mobile would display it.. it wasn;t either...
I WAS jsut dragging and dropping onto my SDHC memory card... Read that is the problem as I need to sync it using windows media player on my computer to get it to work... I tried that.. nothing.. I deleted the partnership and tried again.. Still nothing.. I erased the mediaplayer data file from the root directory.. tried again.. nothing nothing nothing..
I read about downloading the cover manually and inserting it as folder.jpg.. That worked perfect.. The problem with that is I have nearlt 50GB of music files.... And that would take forever... Isn;t there a way to just make the hidden album art visable so it goes when I drag and drop? I remember in the OLD days you could see the JPG files in the CD's folder... On my computer, the album art IS There as I can see the image when I use explorer or when I browse my library using MEdia Player... I tried the old trick of making the entire music folder and all sub-directories invisible and then visible to un-hide anything that was hidden, that didn;t work.. I also tried some programs such as AV Album Art Fixer (I just get an error when that program tries to load), MP3Tag and a few others... My problem is I am looking for something that I just point the program at my music folder, and it just either enables all existing album art to a visible copyable file, or something that will automaticall download/copy/whatever the images to the correct folders. Then when I copy them it will "just work"...
I don;t mean to sound lazy, but it is a big pain to have to manually click every album one at a time or to find them myself, download the image, rename it and copy it... Also, please don;t yell at me for not having found the answer myself in another forum or website as I really have been looking for days...
My phone is a HTC 8925 / AT&T Tilt.. But it is unlocked and I am using another carrier (I got Wifi access as well a slower wireless internet working on it). I also have the USB Sync with it as well...
My computer is a Core 2 Quad system running Vista Ultimate x64 edition.
Thank in advance for your help... I really appreciate it!
And on a side note.. a BONUS you could help with... when I scroll through the CD's I manually downloaded the art for.... it scrolls the "narrow" way... I would really prefer it to scroll sideways instead so the CD image is bigger... I tried "opening" the phone to change the rotation, but that didnt; work and seemed to cause problems... This is a minor thing but would be an added bonsu if you coudl help me with that as well... Again, Thank you so much for you help in advance...
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?
Hello all (Freaks ,Nerds, and all other Crecks) i´m a newby here because my
english is Bumpy but i hope you now what i mean.
Do anyone here know the way to compleed assoziations of TCPMP-0[1].72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.cab (runn´s verry good on my Touch-pro) to play WMV Files ?
Change bevor, on the PC with (for Example) the Programm "Super" is not rearly good if im not at my Home.
Thanks for every Idea
Bernd35
Please answer for me "lik a child" and ill understand verry Better
every day a little bid ;oD
did you install the cab yet? to do that, copy it over to your device and open up 'file explorer'. then find the saved cab and open it up in file explorer. This will install it.
If it is installed already, and it still doesn't work, you will need a registry editor or the program 'total commander' to change the association (assuming tcpmp play wmv files). If that's the case, post again and I'll give you directions.
edit:
Oh, on rereading your post, it looks like you already have your program up and running. find and instal total commander. Find one of your files, right click (hold down on icon) and click on properties. Click associate tab. Click associate. For the command, type in "\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe" including quotes. You may need to edit the command for your devices settings. Under parameter, type "%1" including quotes. For icon file, type '\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe' WITHOUT the quotes. Index is '-1000' WITHOUT the quotes. You may need to soft reset to get it to work.
I had the same problem with .mp4 files. I made the association using a registry editor, but I think this way is easier. If this doesn't work, post again and I'll dig out the registry settings.
I assume you have...
Clicked options,
settings,
Select page--File associations
checked 6th box??? (Windows Media File (WM,WMV))
Check your file associations.
Thanks for your answer´s, Atachments show my Condition until NOW
i`ll reply again if I sucsessfully (or not ) and why i belive so.
See you again,

Hi again
i testet the asotiation with the extention :"associate selected Program with this file typ":
WMV file with TCPMP .
Answers are :
1.) Player: AUdio codec (WMV) not supportetby the player!
2.) Player: Video codec (WMV 8 ) not supportet by the player!
I understand this because The Pictures, iload up jesterday, show this-.
In foretime i remember i have a VLC Player on my PC with an extra downloaded Codec add on .
Do everybody have a Idea to have a WMV ad on for the TCPMP-Player?
Bernd35
I'm running .72RC1...have you ried associating with EVERY type of file? The only thing I don't check are picture files (bmp, jpg). and eveything works fine. Is it on only one file giving you the error or all?
Dear Telegraph0000
you are correct; i do not read "All Files"- ; but i still hope it is a possibillity to do that.
In the meantime i found a site with "Core Player", and read that this is a following Player to TCPMP but its not free - .
i do not wish, to buy a kompleetly new Player for one file-asiotiation because i am verry sadisfact with the TCPMP the last years.
My meening: The Media-player is SH.., totally old, and unflexibel, therefore i used the TCPMP a verry long time. I think the positive feathures are everybody knows.
sorry for the Rumple, Bumple of my englisch, it´s like a defekt Mixer and i hope you understand nevertless nearly what i mean.
Best greetings Bernd35
Forgotten : every WMV-File will not work.
