It's an avi file with WMA audio codec I want to play.
TCPMP comes up with the message that the audio codec (Windows Media Audio) isn't there, so the picture is fine, but no audio.

I'm not sure if the plugin exists, but if one has it, please share. :) Thnx.

Right.... and how am I going to use any of that content in conjunction with TCPMP?

TCPMP does not support the WMA codec, presumably because of the licensing costs that would have to be paid to Microsoft.
Get yourself some video conversion software, and convert it to something that will play on TCPMP.

ffmpeg released their new decoders in march this year and support WMA amongst others.

Does the .8*rc version of tcpmp include this newer codec?
The .72 plugins are here http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/

No, it doesn't
Coreplayer DOES. Coreplayer plays the files that TCPMP doesn't due to the missing WMA audio codec/plugin.
Since Coreplayer does include the desired plugin (I don't want to use Coreplayer due to performance issues) I was wondering why there isn't just a .plg plugin file for this WMA audio codec.

The solution you give regarding ffmpeg, what exactly is that? Will that work with TCPMP?

If I understand it correctly, ffmpeg is used by tcpmp/core as one of the decoders.
If corecodec have soley moved their attention across to the core player, then I think you'll be out of luck for tcpmp as they will need to build in the work of ffmpeg into the software.
