Red face utak3r can you help? WMP stuttering

I have upgraded to WM6 (C_ShekharAKU7.0b.R40.P24_public) from 2003, and I’m blown away. The main reason I use my XDA (Himalaya) is for watching movies as I travel a lot. My movies are converted to a WMV file.

The problem I have is that when playing the movie, the video stutters and the audio plays a few seconds’ ahead i.e. sync probs. Any ideas? I don’t want to go back to 2003.

Thanks

Hi there,
I can't help with the problem but I can confirm that I have the identical problem
*Upgraded from 2003SE
*Movies are converted to WMV
*Video stutters and audio is a few seconds ahead.

I've done a few tests to try determine what the issue might be but no luck.
*Tried testing testing at many different audio and video rates down to the lowest possible rates (60kbps and so on)
*Tried closing all other programs that were open using task manager
*Tried moving the file from my SD card onto the Himalaya (suspecting the SD was not able to be read fast enough). This WORKED for the first replay, but went back to its normal stuttering directly after.

I've been trying to recreate that ONE time when it worked, but with no luck.

I can confirm that between the working time and non-working time, I didn't install anything, and I doubt I changed any settings, though can't be sure.

Anyway, maybe you can try a few of the things that I did. In your case, it may work.

Use TCPMP to play all your movie file.
If there are problems, convert your file to any format rather than WMV. ex, MP4.
I use TCPMP to play a whole movie.
If your movie file is a DVD, convert it using Nero Recode...

Hope this helps!

DONATE TO ME
As for playing movies... TCPMP and all is done You can download plugins for quite a number of various movie formats
And as for recoding... I recommend PocketPC DivX Encoder, aided with MediaCoder.

Default Check

Guys

I also had this problem where the whole device's sound was stuttering. Even when the phone rings.

I could not use media player because of this.

I reflashed my ROM and did not install the WM6 sound fix............

Since then i did not have this problem again.
My sound is perfect!! Try it out!!

Default GB Softweak

HI guys

I have located this problem.
I tried to install GB softweak...for the gprs disconnection. After i enabled it, my device's sound started stuttering.

It was exactly what it did when i first posted this problem.

I uninstalled GB softweak...................the sound is back to normal, and no stuttering.

Hope it helps!
