[Q] WMA codec not shared globally? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

why is it that some media player apps play WMA files fine, while others state that "no codec found"?. Obviously a codec is installed or the other players couldn't play. Seems like players should share the same codec libraries like Win OS

what media player ?

wich is the best program and why ?
should i keep my original windows-media player wich wont play mp3 or is there a better one out there .....???
The original Media Player DOES play MP3 files. However, I prefer WMA format at 64k, which doubles my storage space with very little loss in quality (as far as what you can hear from the PPC even with good headphones). Unfortunately, the two excellent aftermarket players do not support WMA. So, if you want to play MP3 files, I recommend withMP3 (expensive, more mature) or PocketMusic (free, good but not perfect, early version release). The URL for the latter is www.pocketmind.com; I don't recall the URL for the other one.
With the windows media player keep the bit rate below 160k and the MP3's will play without issue, or got to Tools setttings, Audio & Video and allow the device to play unsupported files.

Well, the site is down so I can't go try it out. Does it actually play WMA format?

I see no evidence that it plays "all other formats." In fact, considering the author's anti-MS rant, I see reason to believe it will NOT play WMA.

Tcpmp 2010

This is just my personal build that works best for me. Made up of mostly old but a small percentage of new components from BIMBAM & LBE TEAM. Comes with 2 players. One plays FLV, FLV4, RMVB, the other player will not play these but will play MPEG2, VCD, SVCD, DVD & CINEPAK. Both players will play WMV, SVQ1/SVQ3, MP4, AVI, MPEG and many more common audio and video formats. I use one player as my main player cause it handles most formats except MPEG2 & CINEPAK. Both players are skinable.
TIPS:
Some QT files will play if the extention is changed from QT to MOV or AVI
VOB & DAT files will play if extention is changed to MPG. If the codec is MPEG1 they will play in Both players. VOB & DAT files are MPEG1 & MPEG2 videos so all will play.
No build of TCPMP will play FLV files that use the H.263 OR H.264 codecs but other files that use that use the H.263 & H.264 codecs will play.
The LYRIC plugin works very well. All you have to do is put the LRC file in the same folder as the MP3 and make sure the file names match and the lyrics for that song will play automatically when the song starts. The lyrics will not show if the MP3 has album art.

do you mind to send one to [email protected]
I can't access it due to company's firewall
By the way, is your new rmvb plug-in used in this one? Or should I update after install this one?
Thank you very much.

I tried sending it but my Yahoo! is not letting upload attachments for some odd reason. U might want to ask a friend to download. Sorry I will try again in the morning. It does have the new RMVB plugin.
OK I will download at home

Hello,
Excellent work you have done, now if this program exceeds the capacity Core Player to play FLV videos, among many other formats ... Congratulations.
I am glad also that much development for Windows Mobile did not die in many cases ... thanks again.
Regards,
let's see how it works for me. i hope it doesn't crash like other tcpmp builds
great work of this build, specially for compability with MVU, now i can watch flv with fp6 codec from MVU, only problem when playing fp6 with res higher than 320x240 the video lag, hope to see fix for this codec

How about skinning this one?

There is lots of skins floatin around for u to choose from. I personally do not use skins for TCPMP. I use it for one purpose, to watch videos. I think the simple look of TCPMP stands out against skined players.

Yes this is a known problem with TCPMP. FLV4 VP6 videos of a high resolution do stutter. I have found that FLV4 and WMV9 are the worst videos for TCPMP. They both have the same stutter problem. I believe it is the lack of hardware acceleration and not the codecs. Coreplayer has the same problem with WMV9 but WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER is hardware accelerated so they play very smooth.
Thanks a lot for this pack, works great for me
btw are there any players that can play FLV files that use the H.263 OR H.264 codec?

thanks for the info
I like TMCP , Thanks
Not able to download the file from 4shared . Any mirror?
Thanks.
thanks for this version. The other TCMP version wouldn't even play MP3s for some reason on my omnia II.
However, I tried to play an internet station .pls file and it says "cannot load URL". But if I use COREPLAYER on the same .pls it plays...
also, when I turn off my screen, the music stops playing.

[Q] WMA Support?

So I haven't had any luck getting WMA lossless files to play on the 4.0. The vendor descriptions all state WMA support but the manual doesn't mention WMA. When I try to play any of my WMA files I get a "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" message. I've tried with the file on both the internal memory and on the SD card with no luck.
Has anyone else run into this? Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
Andrew
Either use another media player app or convert your WMA files to a type that is more widely supported. Personally, unless you own a Zune, there should be no reason to keep your audio in WMA, especially since the Galaxy player handles FLAC all day long without issue. Not to mention that if the SGP is capable of playing WMA, your files are most likely DRM'd, which would be throwing that error.
yeah i would recommend converting your music to mp3. wma has very limited suport and why waste space on your device just for an app that will play a few files?
just google "wma to mp3 converter", there are many free programs that will easily convert your files.

[Q] Some FLAC files won't play

I have an HTC One X with Jellybean software. It plays most FLAC files but occasionally I download an album and it won't play on my Android phone although these same files play perfectly with VLC on my computer. Is there any player that I can install on my phone that will play all types of FLAC files?
Folder Player supports FLAC. Also I think both winamp and poweramp support FLAC.
Poweramp is the key
Download poweramp. I have never had an issue with any flac file that was downloaded. It has a great look and sound.

Trying to play audio on iPaq 210, Axim x51v, and few others, and music is distorted

As title states, I can't get music to play on multiple devices, without distortion and garbled audio. I can play sounds from a game, with no issues though. I have tried Pocket Player, Core Player, TCPMP with codec pack 6, and Windows Media Player, all with the same issue... I can play same files on Android device just fine, which is running 2.2 using the built in music player. I have tried files from other people as well.
