Hi, new here etc etc.. was wondering if anyone could explain how im supposed to watch mp4-files (Anime) on my Hero?
I dont wanna void my warranty on it.. is it possible doing this ?
Sry for making a post that probably exists.. but im not good with forums
Thx
IIRC, on an HTC standard build, there's no "visible" video player (I could be wrong though!). However, if you have a file manager (e.g, Astro), you can browse your SD card and open it as a video file in a built in player (sorry, I'm running a 2.1 ROM now, so things are probably different for me).
However, the easiest option is just to download a video player from the Market. Personally, I use Meridian.

i like "video Player" from the market, just install, and pop the mp4 into the video folder that "video player" creates on your sdcard!

yeah i use meridian too! so far not much issue. except for some videos looping back to the first frames. according to the dev of meridian its a known android bug which will be there until it gets fix in the OS itself i guess.
Without a video player app all videos will be shown in your gallery under, surprise surprise, "video's". When you click on a video there it will open the native HTC hero video app.
Don't need a file manager like Astro. Just go into Albums (HTC standard app), then click on All videos" and choose the video you want. It will open up in the native HTC video player.
However as others have said there are plenty of better ones in the market.
I know sprint has banned certain sites so that users cannot download free ringtones and stuff, but up until I flashed roms I was still able to download and play them.
When I first got my hero It was running fresh rom. I could still download/play ringers from myxer. Then flashed to icerom, and nothing. Now using cm6, and nothing.
When i download the music tones now they show up as a .dm filetype and when i try clicking on them it says my device does not support that file type.
anyone else know of a fix or way around it?
From the HTC support site, I found that the following audio codecs are supported by the HTC Hero: MP3, MIDI, AAC-LC, AAC+, AMR-NB, SBC. Google or Wikipedia could probably tell you all the supported file extensions in those codec forms (I don't know them all off the top of my head).
I searched for the .dm extension and it says it's a Sony Ericsson file format for ringtones on their devices only. Sounds like its proprietary and probably unplayable on anything else, so you might just be out of luck on any of those.
You may could try taking your .dm files and converting them to a supported format/file extension? But I read that the .dm format is protected so this may not work. I can recommend a couple good audio encoder programs -- PM me if you'd like.
Try changing the file from .dm to .mp3 and see if it works. I ran across this on the xingtone site with my old phone.
You can side load ringtones on the Hero, just download the ringtone and put it a folder /.../Media/Audio/Notifications/ and they will show up in the ringtone list on the phone.
What app are y'all using for ringtones? I've tried Ringdroid on two different Captivates with varying ROMs and every single time I use it to make a song into a ringtone it skips and is choppy.
There's lots of apps in the market to download them for free. I like Zedge and Ringtones (It's the one in the market with the fire bar equilizer icon).
I use Zedge, I think its the best in my opinion
Is there any app that can do this: when you view an video on the phone, the app records the sound and saves it on your phone?
You just want the sound out of the video call..right?
There are many sound recording apps on android market but they need a root access without which it wont work.
There are several youtube downloaders in which you can choose only to download the music.
For videos you shot yourself I'd recommend using your pc to extract the audio. Can't think of any applications right now, allthough I think it's even possible using vlc player.
Anyone know of an app that's will play these files? Vitalplayers tries but barely shows an image.
Seaman Player supports that format:

However I recomend you use handbrake to convert videos so that Vitalplayer can handle them better.
seaman did not work. it actually does not seem to be that great of an app. ive been told new rockplayer might work so i'll try that tonight.
