default video player for IE

how do i change the player for streaming video to TCMCP. I'm running WM6.1

no one? is it possible?

I think you have problems getting answers because they are there already to find by searching.
Depends on the video type. The easiest way is to try launching a video. Then using a advanced files explorer like Resco, navigate to \My Documents. There you will probably find a playlist file with a .m3u extension.
Again with an advanced file explorer like resco, you click & hold on it, the select open with, then browse to the player .exe you wish to use, then check the box that say "Always use this prograsm for this file type".
You're done.

HandiTV + Coreplayer

Is it possible to switch WMP to Coreplayer? everytime i want to play a stream or a video it automatically opens WMP instead of Coreplayer or even TCPMP..
anyone knows a solution?

Have you set the File associations in CorePlayer? You can select all or individually!

Yeah i did, did not work at all strange enough.

Use Advanced Config or Resco Explorer to change the M3U or playlist file associations.

lost fileassociation for .mp3

Hi,
after try and fail of the Vibe player (or something similar), because i don't like the media player the fileassociation is lost.
How can i rearrange the files back to the MP?
And another question is there any player wich is similar to Winamp?
or any other good advice for playing mp3?
THANKS!!

OK... To find out how to change the File Assocs was easy. When i start investing some more time in it.
But(Why is there always a but?) when changing the File Assoc now mediaplayer starts, but with an error. It says that the Path is not correct.
In the properties of the playlist item i can see that "/Internal Storage/Music/ is missing so i entered these values manually in front of the %1 parameter.
But... that doesnt change anything. The Path will no be recognized.
How can i do that?
Thanks!

So... at least i found out myself...
Just set the %1 in parameters into doublequotes (").
That was all...
And for refreshing WMP library just close WMP.
Delete MSMETADATA and WMDRM directories from Internal Storage.
Start WMP again and refresh library.

mp3 file associations - RSS Hub and TF3D player
1st_Xypher,
I have a related issue with mp3 file assocations.
For me, I use RSS Hub to automatically download my mp3 podcasts, but the problem is, is when I click on the podcast in RSS Hub (after it is downloaded, WMP is launched to play it).
I don't want WMP to launch and play the podcast, I want TF3D player to play the podcast.
So, I think I have to:
1) change the mp3 file assocation in Windows mobile to TF3D - but I have no idea where to do this. I have looked in the registry but I am a bit of a lamen.
2) Mod the registry for RSS Hub, but again, I don't know how to do this.
Do you experience similiar issues with RSS Hub? and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I have the same problem.
My file association for MP3 is gone. No idea how to get it back.
All my ringtones that ive used now dont work and the phone uses the default windows ringtone when i get a call.
sigh

The same thing happened to me when I installed a media player. I used total commander to fix the association, it worked.
However, media player can play .mp3 but I cannot use .mp3 as ringtones???I can select them, but they will not play. The default phone ringtones are .wma, how can I use .mp3 ones??

Bump...this is so important..!!

Use the File Explorer(Not 3rd party File Explorere) from /Start/Programs, goto the Music folder where you place your .mp3 file. Click & Hold, a drop-panel appeal select "Set as ringtone"

Hmm...thanks man, but there is no such choice...
I only get:
"cut,copy, rename,delete,send, beam file" .....
any other ideas guys??

....bump...

Why don't you try Schaps Advanced Config?? on the right context menu there's an option File Associations??
That should do the trick....so start advanced config and tap on 'menu' and then File associations
Hope this will help you all..

...the association is fixed, I can select and play .mp3 files now with media player BUT when I select them as contact ringtones (in the contacts information tab) they WON'T FUNCTION...no sound, NOTHING...while the default .wma ringtones work fine...

other ideas??

i got a similar problem but its with image files. I recently installed coreplayer and it took the file extentions jpg jpeg png etc over i removed them from coreplayer and now none work with i click on them. I will give this mentioned total commander a try and that other one. I hope one of them works!!!

[Q] How can I change default applications? Like "Open with"

As like many of you i have installed f.e. rockplayer to play videofiles.
When i use a file explorer s.a. astro or es fileexplorer and i like to open a videofile listed on the sd card, i would like like this file to be openend by rockplayer by default. Or give me the possibility to choose from every player installed. Sometimes a popupmenu appears, but no rockplayer or other players installed are there.
Can rockplayer acces my network shares and play the video files from there?
Coreplayer undr w.m.6.5 can do that.
Eager to see solutions.

I would to know this also, i have the same issue

Go to settings->Applications->Managed Applications->All (The Tab on top) and find the application that is currently the default for the operation you had in mind. Click it and find the button "Clear defaults".
Next time you try to open/run the file you want, the phone will ask for the desired application to do the job and give you viable options. (Adobe Reader and ThinkFree Office for .pdf files for example)

Problem with browser/streaming videos

Hi all!
I have a problem in Resurrection Remix rom - 4.4.2 (kitkat).
I don't use default browser, because I don't like it and I deleted it before flashing.
Currently I am using Next Browser.
To the point - In every previous rom I used, when I clicked on the video the browser gave me a possibility to open it by MX PLAYER and now when I tap on the video it opens this video in the browser (I think it's some kind of media player build in browser).
But what's the problem? Movies don't work in browser somehow and I want to get back to the option with mx player.
What I tried by now?
-Different browser (Boat Browser) -- the same result
-Searching in options of browser and rom -- found nothing
I don't want to reflash rom because I need everything for now...
I would be very grateful for any answer what to do
Thanks!

If sth is unclear, let me know. I will try to explain it better

Not sure about your custom rom but if you goto "system setting/apps" then select "all" then look for the default media player (not sure what it'll be called) click on it and look for where it says Launch By Default select "clear default" then after play the video again and this time you'll get a pop up to select which media player you want to use, see if that works.

I went to settings -> apps, but I don't know where I am supposed to look for the default media player...

I tried to clean/restore default settings of Next Browser and MX player, but it did nothing...

UP, plz guys...

Use "Bairu browser" free in market, once installed goto options then swipe options panel left and you will see more options then select "settings" and download the "T5 Engine" (it's about 8MB) then in settlings you will see an option to run "HTML5 video first" select it and it will play videos in 3rd party media player. It works because I've used it to stream YouTube videos on custom media player. good luck.
