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)

I know this error has been mentioned on these boards but it seems to always have been in conjunction with youtube. In my case, I signed up to wauw.com to stream music from my PC and everytime it launches on my phone it uses Realplayer. Is there any way to force it to WMP or Pocket Player?
Do you know the stream format? Sometimes it will download a .m3u playlist file to \My Documents. If that is the case & you can find the .m3u in \My Documents you can change the association easily with a good file explorer like resco. If the file is there, click & hold on it, then select open with & make sure to check the "always use this program to open this file type" check box.
Otherwise, let me know the format & I can possibly help you.
No clue but I have m3u associated to Pocket Player. I decided to use Orb instead of Wauw which works fine with Pocket Player. Thanks anyway.
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.
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..!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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..
Greetzz Jeroen
...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!!!
Hallo, I have problem with file association for HTC Audio Manager.
When I set .mp3 [audiomanager.exe "%1"] in Advanced Configuration Tool (File associations section ) and launch .mp3 file example from File Explorer, Audio manager run, but without playing. On screen is old mp3 file from previos playing...
When I set .mp3 back to [WMPlayer.exe "%1"] and launch some .mp3 file, Windows media player run and play .mp3 file which I select. It is correct.
I need to run .MP3 file and launch and play it with Audiomanager, not WMP.
Help me, please.
you don't need to associate mp3s unless you want to associate a certain program to play it while browsing in a file explorer.by default audiomanager will detect the mp3 in the library and should play it back with no issues
Thanks for replay. Unfortunately, I need to associate MP3 with Audio Manager.
I use pRSSread for downloading and managing podcasts. When I run podcast from this program (it is same like run from File Manager), only WinMedia play podcast correct. Audio Manager open itself, but do not play selected file, see my previous post. :-(
I want to play MP3 from pRSSread on Audio manager. This program is more comfortable, powerful volume, nice bar on HTC Home, display MP3 tags, ...
Is there anybody, who can run MP3 in file manager and Audio Manager open and play?
It is strange, that I am alone with wants of this function...
Thank you!
Nope you're not alone. I just stumbled upon this thread searching for the exact same answer for the exact same reason... this problem is so freaking annoying. I'd rather have it launch into HTC's Audio Manager because I love the UI compared to all others players I've used. Plus I can turn off the display, and it keeps playing, if I could figure out how to make Windows Media Player do this instead of stop playing the podcast than I might settle for that as a work around.
Another annoying thing you may have noticed is it doesn't support PLS files either.

I fully agree with you... after hard resetting my P3300 Audio Manager is not able to find any titles to play! I spent a long time playing with playlist editors and trying to copy music files to almost every location but it still does not seem to work. I read it does not play files which does not have id3 tags and also it plays files only from device - not the storage card. Further analysis could get me the real cause of the problem but I am already exhausted. Any help guys? Do drop me a note please
This is driving me crazy, but I never ask....
How can I set a default app to open with a certain program?
When I click a video file it opens in MX Player. Fine.
If I select an mp3 it opens with ES File Explorer's player.
mp4? flac? Says I don't have an app associated with that file type or something.
In ES File Explorer they play if I long press, then go to menu and play. But that's annoying to do everytime. I just want to click once, like I do for an mp3.
