Windows Mobile 6 help needed cos I am

[Brian d marge]

:mobile::oi-grr:with windows

ok new phone, windows mobile 6 pre installed ,, Works fine ,,except I cant get it to play the media its supposed to play
MPEG-4 simple .mp4

H.263 .3gp

and motion Jpeg .Avi

Now most of my media is in MP3 ( that plays ok ) and .AVI form

but I cant get any video to play ( stuffed if I am swapping 80 gig of vid to MP4)

I tried to install other apps , but it comes back with a message saying this isnt a valid windows ce program ( even when I downloaded a windows CE media player from micro cock)

My guess is it ( the phone ) is app locked OR windows mobile 6 is a different os ???

no idea


Going to try the help desk tomorrow ..but we all know what that is like ......

anyone out there usefull with windows ?????

Yeah, WM6 is a different app, it's built on CE5 (just to confuse ya!).

I doubt it is app locked, I've worked with about 50 different CE/WM devices, and haven't seen one thus crippled (yet).

Unfortunately I don't have great hordes of WM6 software, but I'll have a dig through my stuff (there's about 5gigs of CE/WM apps), maybe something in there will work.

I tried loading a .cab file ( media player 7 ) and it said I dont have enough permission ,, So I am beginning to think it needs a certificate ( in security there is root , intermediate and personal )

WMV files play fine, but all my libary is .avi !!!!

How does one add a certificate / remove the offending one??

Help desk told me it is a windows problem . I suspect certificates....

Got this tip from the xda developers forum:

"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298126

It's because WM6 uses a different WMV decoder and a differently named WMA decoder. So, all you have to do is put the WM5 wmv and wma encoders into the windows directory and reinstall tcpmp. The codecs are in the post."

Ok I think I can find the encoders , what is tcpmp though?

It's an open source media player project. It's discontinued but the player works on WM6
