WMP - Source filter could not be loaded

[bipinsen]

I'm hoping someone reading this has information that can help me. I have Nitro's latest ROM installed, and I am unable to play any video using Windows Media Player (v10). I can play the files just fine using TCPMP. Even videos shot using the camera can't be played. Nitro told me that no one else has seen this as far as he knows. I have seen this exact same problem listed in other device forums with WM6, but I haven't seen any solutions yet.

The error I get when trying to play the file is: "The source filter for this file could not be loaded." As far as I can see, this is a generic Windows Media Player error text.

So guys... Any help?

Perfect!!! And I even had this cab file!

One thing to another... Video playback is fixed, but now WMP doesn't want to stay in full screen mode. This for sure I don't have any idea on.

So.. any further hints? :)

Edit: I thought all these problems were behind us... I found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1697670&postcount=222)dll in VJ's ROM thread.

I don't get it... I flashed the ROM after format BINFS and everything.. Weird.

Did that dll help you?
If not, try the following

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ UIPlugins\{D7D08B8C-E755-4fa9-8E79-139FA379E00E}]
"FriendlyName"="HTC WMP Control Plug-in"

"Description"="HTC WMP Control Plug-in"

"Capabilities"=dword:0

Helped me with the same problem, from another ROM.
If I remember correctly Capabilities was set to 1.

Tried installing the HTC VideoPatch.cab and setting registry key to 1 and 0 but no luck on either cases.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
Can WMP be reinstalled somehow?

It worked for me after a SOFT RESET...

Hey Guys,

Apparently the Xperia has the same issue.

I have this very issue that the OP had, and the HTC fix CAB won't install for me... Any suggestions?

A way to install the fix in a different way?

I also get the same error message.

i've also tried the regedit and tried to install the htc video patch cab, no luck either even after numerous soft resets.

my videos and music files won't play on media player 10 however im able to stream vids.

i dont think we can re-install windows media player mobile 10, i haven't seen any available fo download.

Any thoughts?

Hi, install this patch (http://www.sharemobile.ro/file.php?id=46803).

I am having the exact same problem,but on an Advantage 7510 running michyprima's lite ROM. The suggested CAB would not install on my device, i assume because it is specific to the Tornado, or to smartphones. Does anybody know of a solution for my platform/OS?

TIA,

In case this helps anyone, I repacked the VideoPatch cab so it installs on all devices. It unfortunately doesn't work on my current rom since the rom is probably missing other files as well.

i installed youtube and started getting this error that "source filter can not be loaded" for ringtone files. after uninstalling youtube and soft reset files started working.
