Hello all :)

After long search in this forum and in cruise's registry, I didn't find how to play video with tcpmp (instead WMP) in HTC Video Album.

TCPMP is correctly configured for play all media by default in my phone, (photo,music,video), since the explorer, by example. But not since HTC Video Album.

Someone could help me? :confused:

And I think it will be interesting for a lot of people!

THX a lot!

Bye :)

Hi,

I did the following with my device:

I opened the registry and browsed to HKLM\software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3\ and edit Path. Insert the following value if you have an English device: \storage card\program files\tcpmp\player.exe
If you have a different langauge device you should replace the \storage card\ with the name of your card.

N.B. This only works if you installed TCPMP player with the default settings on the storage card.

Good suggestion, however this only gets you to open TCPMP through the cube "Videos" icon, not within HTC Album as requested by ZueBug - I think ZueBug meant that he wants to be able to click on a video from within the HTC Album UI and then have it call up TCPMP to play the video instead of WMP. This would be great since the HTC Album has a much better UI as compared with TCPMP for browsing through your video collection. I started a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359973) on this issue a while back, however no one has come up with a solution as yet.

Better yet, i don't even see any videos in HTCAlbum. That's why i changed the Video button in the cube. I wouldn't be able to view any videos, now i am. So for me it's a win-win situation.
But after reading your post i assume you CAN see videos in HTCAlbum?

TCPMP is my default music and video player. But my problem is: how to make TCPMP default player in HTC album!

THX!:)

Use Carlosp touch settings v 2.2 .
Works almost perfect for mine Cruise , except a message at the opening.
For wich I'm still waiting for a solution.

If you read my first post in this topic you'd have your solution to PCPMP player being defautl in the cube. But i guess reading is hard these days...:(

Yes, videos are viewable in HTC Album for me after clicking on the Videos button in the cube. Apparently though, it only recognizes videos in MP4 format. Any videos in AVI format are ignored when placed in the folder from which HTC Album reads. I guess HTC Album was really designed specifically for the videos taken by the on-board camera and nothing else. So I assume this is why you can't see any videos - your collection is not in MP4 format, correct?

As a test, I converted an AVI clip to MP4 and, low and behold, it was recognized in HTC Album. However, I am not about to get started converting my whole video library to MP4 anytime soon! ;)

Well, the fun part is, all video i have is made by the Polaris. So either the HTCalbum sucks balls, or there's something wrong with my ROM.

That is weird! Here is my rom info if it helps:

ROM Version: 1.25.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 12/11/07
Radio Verision: 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H

Anyone else with my rom version able to confirm my findings? Anyone with NeoS2007's rom version able to confirm his findings?

And NeoS2007 stop to talk if understanding (and reading!!!) my problem is hard these days...:(
I launch TCPMP from the cube.It's my default multimedia player.But when I'm in HTC album, videos are played in WMP. Voila le problème...:o
