Playback of "wmv/wma" in tcpmp on wm6 solved....

[python1983]

TCPMP playback issues on WM6 using WMA/WMV format files can be solved as follow:

After I installed WM6 on my universal, I noticed that when you try and play a wma/wmv file with tcpmp it gives you an error that some codec's missing..

Because it worked flawlessly on WM5, I started digging a bit and found that WM5's codec files "names" has changed in WM6, thus making it unable for tcpmp to find the wm* codec files.

All you need to do is: (DO NOT OVERWRITE ANY FILES ON YOUR WM6 DEVICE)

Step1: Find the following 2 files in your "\windows\" (WM6 devices) directory: "wma9prodecoder.dll" & "wmv9decoder.dll" and copy them onto your local pc.

Step2: Rename the copied files as follows: From "wmv9decoder.dll" to "wmvdecoder.dll" & From "wma9prodecoder.dll" to "wmadecoder.dll" .

Step3: Copy the renamed files onto your device in the "\windows\" folder.

Enjoy.....

Could you upload that two files?
I found that it dose not allowed me to copy that to any other folder.

Just had this same issue with my Tilt, and this fixed it - thanks! (good old search on XDA-developers!)

Found that trying to rename or copy the files wasn't allowed, using Resco Explorer, so I got the 2 files above that galt points to, and copied them into Windows.

Now I can stream www.thestreamcenter.com/pda (http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda) again! (It used to work using WMP before I installed TCPMP, but once TCPMP was installed, it became the default and always starts up when I click on a site in IE. I don't know how, or if, you can stop TCPMP from jumping in - if I could just let WMP handle these particular streams that would have been fine, but I don't see an option in TCPMP to give up trying to handle them.)

i am currently using these codecs, and the WMA works flawlessley, however, the WMV has rather choppy playback, is there a way around this?

thanks in advance

Thank you for this!

these worked great thx!!!

and to get them to play less choppy choose video quality and use low or lowest - low usually works better - it aint great quality but its smooth at least!!

thx for the help!!!!
