Is anyone else having problems with Windows Media Player?
I'm using the WWE ROM and every single file I've tried to open on WindowsMedia.com, and any Youtube videos I try to view via Orb give me the error dialogue: "This protected file type is not supported on this device, and will not be downloaded".
Worked fine on the old AKU2 ROM though. Oh, and CorePlayer doesn't help either.
Anyone know of codecs or certificates that I can install to get this working?
ME 2..!
I'm using the TEST 3.3 ROM and I'm receiving the same error message.
I hate to say it, but at least I'm not alone.
Ok, at least it isn't just me. Serves me right for trying a test ROM when I swore I wouldn't...
Couldn't help myself though!
Think I'll downgrade until a proper AKU3.3 ROM comes along.
Same here.....
In some ROM's it appears that the HTC streaming media player is included and not the standard WMP10, it's the streaming media player that generates the protected media not supported message in my experience.
First of all let me thank EVERYONE who contributed to this site. I'm new to the Hermes world and everything I needed to know on how to flash my phone was documented in a very easy to understand way. My cingular 8525 is now running the cooked WMXL 0.20 relase with an upgraded radio from 1.16 to 1.35.00.11. I couldn't be happier.
One thing i've always wondered about my device is when I go to a site like www.pocketpcmedia.com half the time i try and stream a video i get a blank screen and can only hear sound. Maybe if i stop and start the video a few times i'll finally be able to actually see it. What gives? Upgrading to WMXL didn't seem to fix this problem.
What does the Streaming Media program do in WMXL?
Thanks

The issue with no video but only audio seems to occur when the videobitrate of the videostream is too high to be handled by wmp.
For pocketpcmedia you should try to select to "low" bitrate stream (but these sometimes also have a videobitrate wich is too high)
Do you have any examples for streams where this happens?
The streaming media Program is used for streaming in 3gp format. You can for example select the "3gp" streaming format in Orb. Then when you select a videostream in Orb you will see the streaming media program starting.
this is the audio manager form wm6 vox put in on your storage card and run it make a shoutcut to it
Cool, it works well, thanks.
Wow! Thanks! This is a great alternative to Windows Media Player - handles my music collection much better and the timing is perfect - I was looking for a replacement application.
wont work

PRoblem with Audio Manager
I have installed but run partial because i dont see the bottom bar and i have an error "Load RC fail"
Help me...
Thanks
Is it just me or doesn't this program sort the music on the albums correctly. Seems like it just does alphabetical and not by real album track order as WMP does.
I'd use it all the time if it weren't for that. Is there a way around that? I don't see anyway to set it up sorting wise.
Woo got this running on my samsung blackjack aka i600. Its the one thing i missed from my SPV E650. Changed to the blackjack because the screen kept breaking on the SPV gutted as it was an awesome lil phone.

Yep, I confirm, and it is a reason for me to use WMP.
Is everyones' font on main streen of HTC audio manager (artist, title etc...) so small? I run it on QVGA screen and it is really tiny - like 8 px :/
Any solutions please?
Anyone figure out a registry entry or something to adjust the font on the Audio Manager? I need it like 12 or 14 point... anyone?

I've been using TCPMP, a very neat player with lots of plugins for both audio and video playback, works wonderfully, has many options (I mean many!), even a benchmark , in a few words I love it!
You should give it a try, and with the plug ins you can get flv playback, mp4 playback and whoever knows what may come out soon
Used in combination with Pocket DivX encoder works like a charm with my lobby, the only weak point is when you try to play WMV files intended for PC, the WMP has a bit more power, but who said one program eliminates the other
Is there an updated version of the Audio Manager?
There's some bugs in version 1.0, such as sorting by trackname vs track #
HE-AAC playback doesn't seem to work properly, SBR is not decoded, sounds dull
I've contacted HTC but they weren't be able to help much, gotten no responce after sending them a sample file...
Most recent version i've seen on the forums version 1.02 build 1017.717 should have the fix to sort by track #

I heard you can use the Audio Manager to make ringtones is there already a thread on here for it.. just wondering if anyone knows how to make ringtones with it
just select Set as ringtone in Menu and then select Trim. This is where you can crop the song and save it as the ringtone
thanks for this! working on i780

ATT Tilt using the Windows 6.1 version

I just recently changed my ATT tilt with the windows 6.0 version to the 6.1 version. I want to download the HTC Audio Manager so I can manage my ring-tones. However, I downloaded the link that was provided by rickwyatt and run it to my laptop but could not find the setup to install it on my laptop to transfer it to my phone. I tried also to copy the audio-zip link and paste it to my storage card while my phone was syncing but it didn't work. Can some one tell me how to or get the HTC manager so I can transfer it to my phone and what are the protocols. Thanks,
So I have a somewhat large investment in LEGAL music I've downloaded from sprint over the past year or two. Its over $200 worth (song here and there ads up quick).
So I've never had a problem beforehand even when switching from my instinct to the TP. However I just flashed Energy ROM about a week ago (and LOVING IT!!!) however one thing I've noticed is NONE of my music will play.
I've put a few of the sprint OEM apps back onto the phone (NAV, Picture Mail) but obviously nothing to do with sprint music.
When trying to play the music on Manilla's player nothing happens. The album art shows up but no music. When trying to play in windows media player I get an error that says "A digital rights management (DRM) error has occured"
I'm assuming this has somethign to do with the ROM not being "sprint approved" or something seeing as how it worked on the factory ROM.
Any solution to this?
I've tried numerous other players (Nitrogen, IBM, Pocket Music) but they all come up with the same error.
What can I do?
Anybody have any clues? Short of removing the DRM (which I have yet to find a program not infested with viruses or spyware) is there a way to just have it check the sprint servers?

I have been experiencing this for 4 months. In all of my research I have found that the device certificate for DRM is not in 6.5 ROMS or it is not cooked in using the platform rebuilder kitchens everyone is using. I have talked to a many a chef and it seems it is a NO GO for DRM music.
Try Tunebite as it's your only option for songs you've purchased and can't listen to.
Due to incompatibilities with WM6.5, and even some of the newer WM6.1 builds, most chefs leave out the LockStreamDRM package from their ROMs. Without those files and registry entries, DRM playback is not possible.
this is what i could find, good luck. i believe its a Lockstream DRM issue as NATF mentioned.

btw the new energy rom 8/11 has this built in. just reflash potnah

Can you confirm that Energy's 8/11 ROM allows the syncing of DRM music files? i.e. Napster?
Well I'm now running the 8/11 build of the latest Energy ROM and it does not play the music.
sorry guys this was posted after i did...
August 11th 2009:
Afternoon version:
* Lockstream DRM taken out, causing problems with Sounds and Ringtones
* Opera changed to a newer version and cooked in
* TCPMP, a bunch of ringtones and some extra DLL's taken out to save space
* WorldCard Mobile removed from all ROMs (except Raphael)
* Completely reworked taskbar high resolution data icons by cmylxgo
Morning version:
* Fixed date picker control in portrait
* Updated to AudioManager 1.7 (Manila's Music Tab)
* Cooked in "working" landscape people tab fixes
* Added LockstreamDRM to the ROM for DRMed people
* Slight change to the initial flash screen
* New default black all backgrounds image in Manila
* Updated to Tachi Album 3.0 1914 Sys wheel enabled and smoother operation
* Added Sibor's patch to the SMS tab for better fit and finish in both potrait and landscape modes
Sorry guys.. I tried All lockstream DRM packages are old now as it seems HTC moved to "DiscretixDRM" in 6.5 builds. Unfortunately, that packages still doesnt allow DRM music to play, so I guess you guys are SOL on this one
NRGZ28 its okay we still wub you
Playing Napster Files
I have napster as well, but the ROM I am using plays my DRM files, but I have to jump through some hoops to get it to. I cant just simply copy over the MP3 files (because that would be way faster and way eaisier) so this is my plan of attack:
Download a tune from Napster to my HDD
Set up WMP to sync all music from my computer to my Storage card
This way all I do is download a tune from Napster and then plug in my Phone and voila! it syncs everything.
Unfortunatly, when flashing to a new rom (even just restoring) it blows away whatever local database that keeps track of the DRM, so if I try to play songs after that, it just sits at the track and does nothing. WMP will complain it does not have a license nor will it be able to aquire one if I try.
My solution is to blow away my music collection on my phone and retransfer through windows media player (which takes the better part of a day). The reason this takes so long is because Activsync likes to crap out randomly, so I have to restart the transfer.
Just my thoughts on the whole Napster/DRM....any comments?
Ah, its ok. I just wish I could find a damn program online to strip the DRM away. Everything so far appears to be a royal PITA.
What pisses me off is the whole DRM thing in general. I paid for that music, who are they to tell me what I can and can't do with it.
THIS is why I and others download music illegally. It WORKS!
I still love the ROM NRG... I threw you a donation today.

Hi all,
I just picked up the T-Mobile variant and have not yet rooted or anything, however I am using the fix hifi dac app which a chap kindly posted on here and the play store.
I used to use the free version of podkicker however I have now purchased pocket casts. The issue I am having on my new V10 is that I will listen to a podcast for say 30minutes,then I come back to the same file later in the day to resume and both podkicker and pocket casts show the position as being 30mins in however when I hit play it aways goes back the beginning, has anyone else had this problem and know if it is unique to this phone or if there is some android issue I've not had previously?
I have searched on google and here but I have not been able to find the same issue anywhere.
Any help you can give would be appreciated!
Ps. Forgot to mention I've cleared cache and reinstalled the apps also, tried with different podcast files too!
Thanks
I have done more testing and it appears only happen with m4a files with mp3 unaffected.
