TCPMP Instalation help to avoid crash.txt problem

people getting the crash error.....try these steps in this order and after u try each order try mixing around with the version of tcpmp version and orders and install the ac3 plugin from tcpmp site for audio codec errors for watching avis or divx and after instaling flashvideo bundle everytime u must restart after every plugin install before u even TRY going to youtube site to watch a video,,,eventually after many tries and perfecting the installs with different version of tcpmp u should get it right..but i keep emphasizing RESTART after every plugin install (ac3, ffmpeg,flash video bundle in sequence after every instal) i got the crash thing to go away after trying one of these steps but i dont remember exactly which tcpmp i installed and in wich exact sequence i did it so after playing around with these steps u will get youtube videos to work and play correctly like with wm 6 and you will be able to watch avi,mpeg,mpeg4 and divx movies...if they play slow..then u have another problem, u need to play around with buffer and video settings...which u can get some settings help from the tcpmp text file i have uploaded at the bottom..so sooner or later after u try these 3 steps u will eventually get tcpmp to work so be patient because i certainly was and i have everything working fine. And for those people trying to install tcpmp to their storage cards...FORGET ABOUT IT. You main concern is trying to get tcpmp to install period so always install it to device and after u figure out the right settings u can try to install to storage card but i wouldnt recommend it because after the long processs of finally getting this program to work u dont want it to go down the drain all because u want to install it to your stOrage card...i mean with all the files and plugins with the program ur looking at like 3 megs max on your device so thats not that bad compared to alot of other ****....so here you go try these steps in the order i placed them or try them in different orders.

Enjoy!

1) install old version of tcpmp .72 from tcpmp site...then install flashvideobundle also, then once u install the video bundle restart your phone before u try going to youtube at all. Then install ac3 plugin then restart then install ffmpeg plugin then restart.

If that doesnt work and u get crash error again....uninstall the whole first steps tcpmp version from remove programs in settings and then delete the tcpmp folder completly...then

2) try downloading tcpmp v.081 and install it, then install flash video bundle..then restart..remember u must restart your phone immediatly after installing videobundle...then install ac3 plugin and ffmpeg plugin from tcpmp site and restart again after each plugin install especialy flashvideobundle install...most crash problems are from not restarting everytime u add a new plugin or restarting after installing flashvideobundle..once thats done then try watching youtube. IF youtube works then try watching an avi,divx or mmpeg4

..If that step didnt work in all its instalations and restarts...uninstall tcpmp completely again and delete the whole folder with all the plugins...then .. install 0.72 again then install the v3 repack version of .072 and overwrite the first install and reinstall flash video bundle, restart, then ac3, restart (you dont need to install ffmpeg plugin because repack comes with it alrdy).... if that works ur good..if it doesnt uninstall the program again, delete the folder then...read below

* INSTALL THE V3 REPACK VERSION BY ITSELF *, then reinstall flashvideo bundle and ac3 codec plugin(youdont need to install ffmpeg plugin because it comes with the v3 repack) and restart immediatley after flash videobundle install then restart, then after that install ac3 plugin restart again before u try to watch a youtube video, once restart completes and the repack is installed with all the needed plugins then go to youtube and try...if that doesnt work...uninstal everything again delete the folder and all the plugins, and try different steps in different order on which tcpmp version u like and has worked for u before and redo all the installs on plugins for the correct tcpmp version ..dont go straight to tryin to watch the youtube videos until u must restart after installing every plugin seperatly.

if the youtube videos work and everything seems solid...this next part is with people who can watch videos but avis,divx or mmpeg4 or mmpeg wont start in tcpmp because their is a ac3 video or audio problem

3) most audio codec problems with avi and divx movies are after u restart ur phone once u install video bundle and new repack, download ac3 plugin from old school tcpmp site (just type tcpmp in google and search ull find it)...install ac3 plugin with repack v3 version or .81 version and restart...

All in all just keep trying different tcpmp version and restarting after every plugin install and flashvideo bundle instals especially RETSTART AFTER FLASHVIDEOBUNDLE INSTALLATION...i got it to work so you guys should too also after vigilant patience and trying.

* ALSO AFTER YOU FINALLY GET TCPMP TO PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEOS CORRECT, AND U WANNA TRY WATCHING avi,divx or mmpeg4 OR ANY MOVIE TYPE, MAKE SURE U GO INTO TCPMP SETTINGS AND CHECK OF THE BOXES FOR THESE FILES ASSOCIATIONS...CHECK THE AVI BOX, MMPEG BOX AND MMPEG4 BOX AND MAKE SURE THE FLV BOX IS CHECKED AS WELL WHICH IT SHOULD...AND REMINDER IF YOU CAN GET MOVIES TO WORK BUT THEY ARE RUNNING KINDA SLOW I HAVE INCLUDED A TEXT IN THE ATTACHMENT THAT SHOULD SOLVE SOME BUFFER VIDEO QUALITY PROBLEMS AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS....AND IF YOU SEARCH THE SOFTWARE OR GENERAL FORUM SOME OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE SETTING ADJUSTMENTS FOR VIDEO SLOWNESS *

So have fun and enjoy! Hope this helps at all in any way.
