wm2005 movie performance poor (sound ?)

upgraded my BA to wm2005, now when I play movies (mpeg 1s and divxs) in TCPMP, I get freezing every now and then.
I have two BAs in my possesion at this time, one with 2003, one with 2005, both with the same version (latest stable) of TCPMP. I can use the same SD card in both with an avi or mpg on it and I get the freezing problem and audio going out of sync on the BA with 2005 but not on the BA with 2003.
Now I have heard that there are issues with the sound in wm5 that may be causing this, can anyone shed any light on this and whether there may be a fix soon ?
TIA

maybe you have overclocker installed. Remove it.

I certainly didn't install one. Unless it came with one of the files on the BA WM5 installing page ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade ) then I didn't - If I install just the stuff from that page + TCPMP then it still happens.
So you are saying movies play fine for you using TCPMP (version 0.66) under WM5 ( ba_wm5_patch3.rar ) ?
Cheers mamaich

Choppy Sound..This works for me

Post installation, make sure you tick the "Higher Priority for audio media"
Works like a charm for me, except for the occasional and random reset of the tick. Chalking down to the volatile memory in Windows 2005

initial tests seem to indicate an improvement.
Will investigate more on the train home tonight
I also made a post on corecodec.org, though as I posted there, I suspected windows not TCPMP: http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=2019.0

CorePlayer 1.2 Just Released!

Anyone try it yet? Downloading now...

Installed last night over v1.1.3 without issue. I just have coreplayer installed, no TCPMP or flash bundles. I went to m.youtube and picked a video, Core opened and streamed it nicely. It looks pretty much the same as before but the change log certainly shows a ton of fixes and tweaks.

I installed it too, and still cannot play files from m.youtube. I have TCPMP and flash installed.
Also still cannot get audio from ac3 files, do you have the same?

gnollo,
Go into Core Player menu>tools>preferences>select page>File Associations and set RTSP protocol (check the box).
Bingo-m.youtube.com

Does ist only support m.youtube? Or is there a chance to get it working with full youtube like TCMP with Videoflashbundle?

They promise full youtube support later this month

Ac3 will only be supported later

Guys,
Don't get your hope high for Youtube, it will never happen the way TCMP does with flash bundle...
Personally, I am very disappointed with Core Player's progress, I brought the very first version of CP on the day it was released back in Oct 06 and an year and half later, it's hardly any different (my opinion) Betaboy will tell us of millions of fixes, improvements etc but I am not convinced at all. I am still using TCMP Player.
Here is confirmation from Betaboy...
"As far as YouTube... we do not play ANY flash video... nor will we ever with the restrictions Adobe has on the Flash Container (even though we do support it internally for testing purposes only)"

I checked RTP and RTSP then exited Core and did a power off reset and it worked fine after that.

tried that but no change.
CP shows filename and duration after loading, but the video never appears. I tried moving along the timeline, no change.

seems better than previous versions
It might be a soon judgment / coincidence though, but the 1.2 which replaces my 1.1.3 plays smootlhly (in QTV mode)
Is it the extra twealing they did, or the DCS V1.7 ROM...(the fastest I tested so far) it will stay a mistery.
Gonna try VBenchmark tomorrow to see if we get a +1800 score .

No youtube playback through Coreplayer...

Been having the same problem as you. I even flashed a new ROM to my Kaiser, but to no avail.
@ Alemaker:
Could you check please to see what you may have installed that is bringing you success? Flash application? TCPMP without FlashBundle or whay?
Any ideas Betaboy?

QTV does not work for LG KS20
The QTV mode does not work with coreplayer 1.2 on my LG KS20, all I get is a black screen. Do I have to do something to have this program working as advertised for the MSM 7200 chipset ?
I searched this forum and found another KS20 user stating that the 1.1.3 was already not working and some users having differents PPC having the same black screen problem. I found a post on the 1.2 release thread on the coreplayer forum where another KS20 user was having the same blank screen problem. Did anyone found how to get rid of it ? I bought coreplayer yesterday for QTV support, and since it does not work, it is useless for me since TCPMP is working as well as this product without QTV support.
If someone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
Edit : the rtsp protocol does not work either, and I have the same problem as the user on the coreplayer forum : I can no more view rtsp streams with WMP when I uncheck this protocol support in coreplayer. Any help about this too ?

Could someone tell me whether CorePlayer can play audio files using a simple folder-type structure - i.e. just a plain list of files in their folder order, NOT using ID3 album/artist/genre/inside-leg-measurement/etc tags.
What I have at the moment (playing via PocketMusic 4) is just one AUDIO folder on my storage card, and within that there's a PODCAST folder, a RADIO folder and a SONGS folder. These three folders are updated automatically every time I sync my device to my PC so that any newly fetched podcasts, individual song downloads, etc are copied into the three folders silently.
When I launch PocketMusic, it scans the whole AUDIO folder and creates a list of all my MP3 files, showing the podcast files at the top, then radio stuff and finally songs (with each folder's contents neatly sorted alphabetically). Playback returns to the last played item and position by default, which is great for those two-hour podcasts that I can't listen to in one session. Once I've listened to a podcast, I just delete the file via PocketMusic from the device, and the sync program will later delete the PC copy too. All really simple and neat and totally automatic.
I guess the one big downside is that is won't play video podcasts. I've looked at lots of other programs, but nothing else seems to offer this very logical load-list-on-startup and sort by folders facility. Will CorePlayer do this sort of thing?

Hey! Where the heck to you set 1.2 so that if you put your device to sleep (lock the keys and turn off the backlight) the music continues to play?

whocares2... let me first offer you a refund as "it does not work, it is useless for me". Second we will look into the WMP fill assoc bug.
Also... Did you follow the other threads here about QTv and what we did to get it to work? But point taken in that we we not 'officially' state QTv support but we will mark it as 'unofficial'.

Still cant get youtube to work...

Yes, I've searched and searched, this forum and others and can't seem to get this to work. I've installed the Flash Bundle and TCPMP, in the same place and neither IE or Opera 9 will stream even youtube mobile videos. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, stock ATT tilt WM 6.1
Thanks

Google youtube play
its an awesome program that allows you to play videos as well as save them and convert them into audio files which is pretty sweet for ringtones
haha
Oh and if you really want it browser style try skyfires new browser
opera mobile 9.5 is still in beta and does not currently support video

Or flash the latest official HTC WM6.1 ROM. It is the STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER integrated and works without additional configuration even through Pocket IE.

download skyfire browser and you should be able to view youtube videos with no probs or any video

I flashed the latest official HTC WM6.1 ROM as soon as it was released from AT&T a couple months ago, and still nothing (not PIE not Opera, not Iris) will stream video for me except Skyfire.

Just a quick question... did you do a soft reset?
If so and it still doesn't work then unistall your tcpmp and flashbundle.
I was having the same problems until I installed this combination of cabs.
1 TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB

Obviously, install to the same location, soft reset and let the videos begin. To see applicable websites go to start\programs\video sites.html
Hope this works for you.

a solution if you're willing to pay a bit
I used TCPMP with the flash bundle with no problem for WM 6.0, but started having trouble with the 6.1 version as well. My solution... go with the upgraded version of TCPMP (CorePlayer). Yes, you have to pay for it, but it can allow for direct search/play of Youtube videos. It's also a pretty fanfreakintastic media player. It's going to cost you about 30 clams, but for me, it's well worth it. I've been playing videos and music with it nonstop since WM 6.1 came out without any problems. No crashing, no excessive pauses, nada.

SRS WOW - Comparisons for HTC Raphael AT&T

Friends,
I am a very big fan of SRS on the Raphael and I tell you the application plugin is pain to get working. As everyone has written before my post, it either works or it doesn't on their device. There are a few versions out there floating around and it does require a lot of trial and error in order to get the sound wanted from the plugin.
Now, before I start I have been through three Raphael phones due to hardware problems that I had to send back for RMA replacement. I am now on my fourth phone and hope it stays that way for a long time!
On two of the raphael phones, I was not recieving the full punch of SRS wow with the extra bass, compression, surround sound etc.. But on the other two same identical phones I had no problems with the full sound. At the present, if I listen to a song - doesn't matter the song I hear the bass thumping into my chest.. Sometimes, it can be annoying and other times the balence that srs brings out between all instruments is amazing. This is where SRS does a beautiful job bringing out the extra heavey bass without muffling the other sounds. If you think your srs is working but doesn't deliever the bass thumping in your chest as I describe for your mp3 playback phone, then it's truely not working...
I have included my screen shots, registry edits and the different device information for you to plow through and compare. Now, remember this is for the AT&T Raphael pocket pc phone.
Steps
1. Install SRS_WOW_HD 121.CAB and reboot the ppc
2. Install WOWHD_ARM_Panel.cpl - copy this file directly to \windows folder. It might take a few seconds to copy.
3. Change the registry entries before going into the app.
4. Goto: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
5. Change "Flags"=dword:00010000 to "Flags"=dword:00010002 (Note: Energy Rom 3.0 I had to add the Flag Value)
6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings.
SRS Software Versions
I could not get the other software versions to work with the raphael phone. So for SRS to work 121 is the only one that works. Don't waste your time trying the others....just use 121
Now, how do you figure out if your Raphael phone will produce the sound with SRS WOW as I mentioned above? That is a good question because it definitely comes down to the electronics in the device that HTC puts into the device. Should SRS WOW work on all devices "YES" but as I expressed earlier, it does not. I have already been through four phones and two worked and two didn't. (Same settings, reg edits, radio, spl etc). So there is something between the devices that delivers better performance with SRS.
Stats Information on PPC
Rom Version Tested in ROMeOS or Energy 3.0 (no problems)
Radio Version: RUU_1.02.25.32 (AT&T Stock Radio)
Music Players Tested: S2P, Touchflo Music Player (no problems)
IMEI - first ten digits I noticed a trend between phones. "15" works and "12" does not. I verified this with the other two phones and the one that did work also had a "15"..
3531420212 SRS doesn't work (Old Phone)
3531420215 SRS works (New Phone)
SPL
RAPH110
SPL-1.90.Olinex
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (Key) v5
PSOC-Raph Stage_CVT v0x36
R: 1.02.25.32
G: 52.39c.25.22
D: 1.9xromeos (RomeOS) or Energy Rom 3.0
Mac Address
I also noticed that the two phones that SRS wow did work on the mac addresses were close and similar, the other two were different.
I would honestly for those really interested in having SRS on their phone for the Raphael users, definitely use ROMeOS rom and radio I listed.
It will take some trial and error deffinitely. But in the meantime, the application SRS wow has to be handled with kid gloves in order to real deliver the sound.
Also, take note and back everything up before making changes to your ppc.
Please note that I am not the person who originally figured out how to change the registry values. Not too sure who the author was, so I can't make that claim only pass on to others what helped me.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.

Hi tvos,
You mentioned "6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings." The screen shots you have uploaded does not show any settings specific to SRS .
TIA

what do you mean? they are there..
tvos

Good job tvos,
Thanks for adding the screen shots.

Does this make the htc audio manager stop working, I thought I read in a post somewhere that it does...thanks TVOS

the plugin for SRS does not work with audio manager. I tested srs working in S2P and other third party apps and it works fine.. something with htc audio manager or srs just don't like each other..
tvos

Thanks!
Seems to work very well on mine...with IMEI 0202 (early build). I am also using NATF's ROM with the .28 radio.
EDIT: After installing the app, the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up -- have had to soft reset each time. I have since uninstalled and all is back to normal.

thats good... its really hard to say why SRS works on some devices and others it does not. i know from experience that srs didn't work well with the two that I had to return but the other worked fine and delivered BIG bass sound..
thak you for your contribution.

SRS over A2DP
I have this working on my Fuze (SRS 1.2.10.0 from the MONX cab, including the CPL) and it truly rocks my brain playing with S2P.
I really love it!
If you are having issues with yours, here is the CAB I use. I am also including the REG file with the settings I use. Give those a whirl.
(Monx, if this is somehow not kosher, please let me know and I'll remove it, post-haste. All credit for this CAB should go to MONX)

Well, ensure you don't have SRS WoW already installed (uninstall and sr if you do)
Install CAB
extract REG file in ZIP, copy to phone, and import (using whatever registry editor you prefer - DotFred's works a treat)
open the new WoW SRS applet in Settings, and then close. (don't change anything)
Connect your headphones (BT or cabled, no matter)
fire up your favorite player
hit PLAY boogie to the very satisfying sound form your headphones
Have fun!

Hi is this configured to work in TouchFlo music tab and also change the volume? The other cab I used wouldnt allow me to change the volume and would also stop working after a call was received or made.
Thanks!

No clue, my friend. I don't use the music tab. It has worked flawlessly with WMP, PocketPlayer, and S2P, though.

i got it to work but the settings don't last when i use my bt headset. i have to open s2p & play a song, then minimize it, open up srs wow then choose internal headphones, then it would change to my desired setting.
it doesn't happen with wired headphones though.

Thanks!
Works great on my Sprint Touch Pro running JD ROM v2.15, OP's CAB worked, Yom's CAB did not (gave me a driver not loaded error in the control panel applet, even after a soft reset).
You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
Edit: I changed the Flags registry value back to my device's previous value (0). I'm fairly sure the new value was causing an issue where if I put my device in standby with the power button I couldn't wake it up, forcing me to perform a soft reset.

You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
are you talking about the separate file that is copied to the windows folder after the intial install?
i have added that already..
thanx.

I have SRS WOW working in the TF3d music player tab, with working volume buttons.
Here's how I did it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485732
However, if there is a simple .cab that would be better --- but I couldn't find such a .cab.

Thanks for the update.. Does the music player work after calls are made/received? I had to soft reset to get the tunes back on.

Maybe someone had the same problem than me...
I installed SRS, and it works great with S2P... But after install, i can't hear anyone when i received a phone call...
I MUST hard reset to hear my phonecall !
Is there any solution ?

I'm not sure why but, I've got this working just fine with HTC's Audio Manager. I've got a (relatively) new HTC Fuze (AT&T) purchased off Craigslist with Audio Manager installed from a seperate cab located in the Raphael forum.
Rockin' big-time through my Plantronics 590A BT headphones. Looking forward to kicking some tunes through my portable "stereo" (old set of PC speakers & Sub) that I connect to using my Motorola BT receiver.

Bluetooth Control in WMP

Since I switched off TF3D I was able to control WMP from my bluetooth headset. But recently that stopped working - it may have had something to do with certain Today plugins I installed (and subsequently de-installed).
Does anyone know of any registry settings that govern how the bluetooth buttons for track changing and pause/play are handled? If I switch TF3D back on, the music tab handles the bluetooth buttons fine.
I just can't get them to work with WMP. I'd rather not have to do a hard reset. Please don't suggest any other music players - I already have Coreplayer and it won't work with that either and I don't want to buy any more music software, ta.
Thanks for any pointers!

It's OK I've sussed it - downloaded and ran AVRCP and it seems to have fixed the problem :O)

I have the same problem! But on my device the program crashes. I get no feedback but the failure-notize of windows mobile. Can you tell me the download link of your version of AVRCP?
Thank you!

When I ran AVRCP it appeared to do nothing at all - as though it had crashed (although I got no failure notice). After a soft reset, the bluetooth controls just started working :O)
