Media player is crap anyway ... go do yourself a favour and google for "TCPMP" ... there is a smartphone & PPC version ... make sure you get the right one ... although either one will work ( that's how versatile it is ...LOL )... just the right one will be better in terms of efficiency ;)

your problem above could be related to when you transfered the file using ActiveSync and somehow it got "converted" wrong ... have you tried copy the file(s) using a card reader instead ???

weird problem playing videos

ok, plz tell me if this is something that is normal, or is something wrong with my dash.... i have a few video files on my storage card, all in the same folder. some have a tcpmp logo (blue film thingie) and some have the media player logo on them. the ones with the tcpmp logo can only be opened by tcpmp, and cant even be found by media player, and the same thing for the media player videos (can only be opened by media player, not detected by tcpmp)

i think that the videos that have the tcpmp logo were just drug and dropped into my storage card, while the media player files were synced through media player on my desktop. i dont remember this being a problem with wm5, so plz tell me of any fixes or i might just restore my dash , thanks

the problem lies with "files association" ...

go into your TCPMP settings and check/uncheck file extensions that you want/not want it to open with ...etc

can't say the same for windows media player though !!! ... I hate it with a passion ... crappy video size ... what's with the NO PLAYLIST ??? and it won't play AVI :eek: ... and on and on ...etc !! :eek:

there are way better 3rd party softwares for your medias !!!

TCPMP is the most versatile ... but not much on the GUI ... best of all .. it is FREE ;)

Conduits PocketPlayer is great ... but it's not free ;)

i know, i already did that, and it still wont find those files. the weird thing is i have 3 video files in the same folder, all the same type and everything, and it detects two of them through tcpmp and 1 through media player....

you ARE the man

That cab file worked like a charm.

I did have to reset my home screen, but other than that... I'm golden.

Thank you so much! :cool:

I found the cure....on the message that Omar sent with the cab...download this to your PC Desktop.....then active sync your phone....go into the file explorer, on your menu screen activate your devise, Open up Applications Data, then open up Home...then drag the set-up, after U do this then double click on the icon and install, it will automatically set it up and U have videos again.....horray.....
