Looking for a media player (with some requirements)

[Anjow]

I'm after a media player for WM 5.0 as it seems that my Univeral didn't come with a decent one (I don't consider WMP to be decent - lacks one of my requirements). I have two real requirements - might add some if I think of them:

- Must be able to play .mp4 files, .avi (DivX if possible), .wmv and .mpeg

- Important: must be able to skip through files one after another.

Explanation: the XDA2i which I used to have comes with an 'Album' program which can be used to view photos and videos. This had two great features; the ability to view photos and videos in one program (not a problem for me as I have an even better photo viewer now) and the ability to point it at a folder of videos and then watch them one after the other, skipping to the next just by pressing on the d-pad.

Can anyone name a good media player which can meet both criteria? I've looked at some comparison charts but none seem to specify what seems to be a small feature to them but is actually an important one to me.

I have tried TCPMP and that doesn't seem to meet the second criterion.

Suggestions?

Look at TCMP again, but this time look in the settings menu and configure some hotkeys to skip tracks, there are is no shortage of keys on the Universal when it comes to picking a hotkey.

I'm willing to have another go, but doesn't 'skip track' mean to just go to the next one in the playlist?

Due to the way I use my device (take lots of short videos when out with friends) I can't be constantly adding them to playlists. The number of files I deal with is too large for me to have to organise them myself.

TCMP's playlist idea is completly different to mediaplayer. Browse to your folder in TCMP's file selector and use the select ALL option to give yourself a temporary playlist with all the files in the folder. You can even use the DIR command to select your Media folder which may have further folders below it with music, pictures and video in them and everything will be selected for your playlist.

Ahh okay, I didn't realise one could do this. Going to give it another go then report back.

Thanks.

No probs, it will also play your images too so you've got everything your XDA IIi could do, and probably more :D

Seems to be okay, I'm a bit confused with the buttons but I have set it so they at least change the playing video. I also managed to get it to play all the files in a folder.

Its best to pick something you will remember, like 'N' for next and 'P' for previous.
