Windows Media 9 codecs on WM6/TCPMP

[highmighty]

Hi there, is there any way I can watch this video (for example: mms://sdmc.contents.edgestreams.net/horsgv/regions/siege/infos/f2/20h/HD_20h_20070904.wmv?WMCache=0) on my SP5m with TCPMP 0.72RC1. So far, only the audio works, it says "video codec (Windows Media 9) not supported by the player". My smartphone is running WM6 (english perfect edition). I also tried using the built-in Windows Media player to play it but without success, it says "an unknown error occured". Same with the software "Streaming Media" which looks like it opens a rtsp:// link only, it won't work because it won't load a mms:// link.

I thought those Windows Media 9 codecs were installed by default, are they? I say this because I kind of remember playing a video on TCPMP that was using a WM9 video codec...

If I need to install that codec, how would I do that? Where would I find it?

Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you all for your time.

Edit 1: worked fine on my Ameo with WM6 - jus copy the 2 dll files(from this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298126 ) inthe windows directory of your ppc - then install tcpmp 0.81 und wmv are running in good quality 6 you also hear Audio

Works like a charm for me as well, I copied the 2 missing dlls (1 file copied, 1 file overwrited) into Windows directory and tadam, it worked even without rebooting, I was able of looking my news stream. Thanks all!

hello,

can someone please help me? I've upgraded to Windows Mobile 6. I've signed up for ORB and i wanted to use tcpmp as my default player for playing videos but i keep getting the same errors...

Can't Play WMA File
Can't Play WMV9 File

now i did try copying both .dll files to my "smartphone" and when i did go into my smartphone, i couldn't see the files, they were hidden - how do you go about doing this? i'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

now, my question is - is it because these files were extracted from a ppc device and i need smartphone specific files? can someone please help, thanks.

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...

problem was in these 3 dlls:
mp3dmod.dll
wma9prodecoder.dll
