TCPMP WMV9 Fix (Orb Fix)

[doc_lee]

Some people are having issues getting WMV9 in TCPMP working with WM6, particularly those of us who are trying to use TCPMP with Orb and are getting a nasty WMV9/WMA9 not supported error. This is because WM6 includes newer versions of the WMV and WMA codecs, which are named differently than WM5's codecs. Orb does work with WMP Mobile 10 and Conduits Pocket Player, but the video is incredibly jerky for some reason which I haven't been able to nail down yet, and I doubt I'll look into the matter anymore now that this works.

The fix is simple...just drag the old WM5 codecs into your Windows/ directory and reinstall TCPMP. After that, you should be able to use TCPMP to watch your orb stream (Windows asx stream on Orb 2.0).

I've included the codecs here in this post. This fix was tested using the Most Beautiful ROM. Let me know if it works for the other ROMs.

Thanks for the fix files!

Isn't Orb fricken awesome? Especially for free!!! www.orb.com

Funny, I just found out that I had this problem and here you are... thanks.. Just goes to show the powers of this forum..

[eksekki]

Thank You! =)

Now I can watch my news streams again which the crap Windows Media "Player" couldn't play! I don't think you have to reinstall TCPMP though, I just copied the dll files and did a soft reset (probably necessary) and everything works. If only there was a way to stop the 0.81 TCPMP from switching to portrait mode on launch then everything would be perfect...

Edit: just noticed this was a Wizard forum. This fix works with Universal WM6 as well (Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.00 WWE).

Thank you very much doc_lee. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my TCPMP wasn't playing sound after I updated my Dash with WM6. Cheers!

[vua777]

http://www.okias.wz.cz/tcpmp/files/language.tgz - copy this file to TCPMP folder(replace old), and WMA(only WMA) audio start working with TCPMP, WITHOUT COPYING ANY NEW .dll file :-) but for WMV you must copy wmvdecoder.dll :-)

[davno_uje]

Thank you very much for the codecs.:D

[geeknik]

Very cool. I just put these in the /WINDOWS dir on my Alltel PPC 6800 and TCPMP plays WMV videos quite nicely now. Thanks! =)

[nallyvaico]

Not working for me! wmv jsut hangs my PDA.... What am I doing wrong?((( Playing wma Ok though

Looks like I've fixed it. Deleted some key in the registry...

[linrifeng]

Thank u :)

[ppcfreek]

thanks a lot it actually works now i can play wmv and wma with tcpmp..

[Noel M]

Hi I just got the HTC Kaiser and I want to install this TCPMP but which version is the best??? should I install WM5 WMV9 Codecs.zip first before install TCPMP????

[chineseman]

i tried TCPMP 0.81 with the codecs and goes fine!

[paramy8ia]

works fine on Glofiish X800, with wm6 and VGA, thanx!

[gullzway]

Got the video stream working again on tcpmp.81, but the video is extremely choppy! My ORB stream speed is set to 400. Conduits Pocket player plays fine when i switch orb to .pls format on the same settings? Am i missing something?

[sloshie]

I'm getting very choppy video viewing WMV in either WMP or TCPMP. I've just installed NewsBreak and downloaded some video podcasts, yet they are unwatchable in either player. It now plays in TCPMP thanks to the codecs in this thread, but has the same performance as in WMP.

I can play an AVI file via TCPMP with Raw Framebuffer that works fine (apart from the known issues with tearing etc), but not video podcasts in WMV format.

Is there something I'm missing, or am I going to have to lug around another device for viewing these (which was one of the selling points of buying the TyTn II in the first place - so I could avoid this).

Thanks.

Am I doing something wrong? I cannot unzip the .dll files. I tried extracting but that didn't work, the only recourse I have is to beam the .dll files separately to my old device and re-beam them back to the TCPMP program file folder.

(I am using TCPMP directly from my PPC-6800)

dude your over complicating things, Download the zip, unpack it on your home computer so you have 2 .DLL files, copy both those files over to the windows folder on your PDA !! FINISHED

[Newkirk Plaza David]

I got it working, somehow when I did a soft reset then TCPMP played the codec.

I did not use a desktop computer to extract the file. It works fine, thanks.

[forevr5688]

I just got my xv6800 and I am trying to use Orb.Com to watch TV as well. I used to have a motorola Q and never had as much trouble with Orb before. The video on the xv6800 is very choppy. I installed TCPMP .81 along with the codecs but the video is still choppy. Has anyone been able to fix this issue? Also, is there a way to suppress the "File already exits" message when clicking an ORB channel link? I appreciate all your help. Thank you.

[tcs80]

Does it works with TCPMP version prior 0.81?

[forevr5688]

unfortunately, I am still not having any luck. I even tried TCPMP v.81 and still no good. Anyone have any other suggestions?

[forevr5688]

I finally got it to work. Unfortunately, the only to get it to work smoothly is to change the web speed on my.orb to no more than 285kbps. It's not as clear as I hoped but I guess the xv6800 can't handle anything higher. Oh well. Hopefully there is a fix for this eventually.

[djxs]

Thanks!! Works great!

Well, I installed ver. 1.1.3 b2976 to Card, it says, can't play AC-3, then uninstall, re-intall to Device, it says can't play MPEG-4.

I also tried to give it 1 star , but my review doesn't show up on mobihand website!

Waste time and money for this software!

I dislike posts with no information.... simply send an email to customersupport@mobihand.com for a refund request.

Now if you want to work through this... pls post more info on the type of files you are trying to play and i'll help you. Also, AC3 is NOT supported and will not be till after 1.5 when we release plug-in support in CorePlayer.

[pebsuk]

I'm puzzled downloaded v1.13 Core and get the same errors i.e. Won't play MP4 files and AAC I can understand the AAC isssue. Whereas TCPMP v0.81 plays everything ok...What's the deal?

Pls PM me your reg information so I can look up the purchase. We are looking at the possibility that it might be cause by our protection system halting video playback.

[beta_boy]

Also.... pls try other video outputs IE; 'Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Video > Video Output' and try GDI first, then DD or Raw and pls post the results.

[myersli]

Thank you so much. Worked perfectly for me after a soft reset.

[Drakeford]

I have tried everything but I keep getting an error message. It says:
Error Player: Audio codec (Windows Media Audiio) not supported by the player
Error Player: Video codec (Windows Media Video 8) not supported by the player.

Do I need to download another player?

[ManiacDC]

Thanks for this!

[mikelsbid]

Worked great with TCPMP.
Thanks you.

[dshipley]

Thank you for this. I could not figure it out for the life of me until I searched on this forum.

[een-b-engeltje]

thanks voor the fix file, greetings from holland

[at0msk]

I've used an app unlocker on my tmobile dash but I still cannot overwrite or otherwise manipulate files in \Windows on my phone...any suggestions? Also when I place these files on my phone I cannot see them so am unable to move them to my \Windows directory...

[Hoof]

Open the folder where the files are then press the screen until the pop up menu comes up, then click view all files.

[arieltools]

Works flawlessly on my "old" Blue Angel with WM6

Thanks for the tip!

:)

[lazarus101]

How do i make this my default player? wmp doesnt play streaming video it should be playing and giving me error

[hunterdg]

i love xda-developers!

and doc_lee!

[Kobax]

How can I suppress the "File already exists" popup that appears when opening orb streams?

[campiaturzii]

Tried the fix.
I can play the AVI files.
The only issue is that the image desintegrates regularry( just like a TV during bad weather).
Any ideas?
i have a Palm Treo 750 gsm unlocked for tmobile

[cutetia_82]

must be my own fault. I did what was taught and still the same. ERROR. not supported!! Can play normal videos though. but youtube still comes out wong in window media. Window directory?? I wonder if Ive dragged it to the wrong place. I just dragged the dll files into my stroage etc and downoad the cab in ppc??

[jiggyk]

May be a bit late in the day, but thanks for the fix. No need to reinstall TCPMP, just restart it after copying the files..

[jiggyk]

drag it to the windows directory in 'my device'.

[Panosz]
