TCPMP - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi,
I have a question about TCPMP, without a doubt it is the best media player for Pocket PC.
I have not used TCPMP before
After searched the web, I found the official website:
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
And it has been discontinued ...
The commercial one is CorePlayer ...
How is it compared? TCPMP vs CorePlayer ...
I meant, is there any much different in performance, file format support, etc?
Anyone is using CorePlayer?
I am thinking of purchasing CorePlayer, but if it is not that much different compared to TCPMP, then better not.
Thanks for any feedback

I believe TCPMP is way much superior and has more options IMHO.
I tried CorePlayer when it was released as a commercial product.. and was not really impressed
the GUI of CorePlayer however is nicer.
TCPMP has larger community which support it and continue to release plug-ins and codecs on a regular basis
for instance you can watch Youtube videos using TCPMP, but I'm not sure if CorePlayer can do that...
maybe because I have been using TCPMP since it's first days, I like it that much... but Franky it's a great utility.. and above all it's free
cheers

Hi duke,
Thanks for your feedback. Where can I download the latest version of TCPMP and all its plugins?
And which forum is the best community support for TCPMP?

How do you set your equalizer?

FYI
Read this for Kaiser:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1540060#post1540060

Thanks,
I just want to know how do you set the equalizer ... currently it is still default.
Which hz should be set to left ... and which one to right?
To get a better audio quality ...

My reply was about tcpmp on kaiser in general, about the equalizer... i have no idea how to get a better sound... i know bass is left and treble is right...

Multimedia Player for Kaiser

Hi Guys:
Is there a player that can read all (most of) the video formats?
I have TCPMP which is fantastic but it cannot read rmvb.
Yeah, I know I can convert rmvb to avi or divx... but you know... well...
Anyway, thx in advance!

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
Anyone know the best format for playback? So I've used standard MP4 with 24 AAC sound. It's OK on windows media player, but I'm gonna try to improve sound quality.

CorePlayer Mobile v1.1.x Qtv Edition (for Tilt / Kaiser Owners) released ...

Hi Guys,
CoreCodec has released a pre-update of CorePlayer that should fix most of the video playback issues on our devices ...
Can someone who is authorized to download the update confirm that it works smooothly with htc Kaiser ?
All owners of CorePlayer 1.x should be able to update for free ...
The Link to the thread in CoreCodec board is here :

I just downloaded it on my Touch. So far with the one file i actually had on my Touch the QTV driver shows the video with a black screen. The file plays when I have GDI. I was assuming the Touch may use the same QTV driver. But I think I remember somewhere that BetaBoy wrote that this was for Mpeg4 files only. So i'll look. I was able to run a bench mark using the GDI and QTV settings though. QTV did about 10% higher on this small file.
Hum... I'm currently testing it with a 640x340 xvid file and it seems pretty fluid. Don't really know if I'd say the playback is flawless.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing this news.
I downloaded and installed on my Kaiser.
It feels like my device is much more responsive now!
Also the Touchscreen feels more responsive!
THIS FEELS GOOD
Am I grazy and the only one or what?
Regards,
Leo
Uhm, why would this make the touchscreen more responsive?
You tell me...
It does!

Please send a sample of the video via www.yousendit.com to [email protected] so we can take a look at it... thx!!
FYI.... also the speed difference will ONLY be available within CorePlayer itelf when playing back ANY video (not just ASP). Although ASP plays pretty damn flawless based on the early feedback.

Beta Boy it turns out it isn't the file. I even tried a couple of different mpeg 4 files encoded at 640x480. They play fine if I have it set to GDI but the second I put QTV on it plays black and the player becomes unresponsive. Now I do have the Vogue Touch which uses the CDMA verison of the Kaiser chipset. The case might be that the changes that were made to core media work on the kaiser only so far.
So theoretically, this proggy should play the videos fine, and utilize the unused hardware?
Is there a demo of this bychance, that we can test on our devices. I would gladly get the software if I could see that it works on my phone.

Even though my touch can't take advantage of the QTV driver. I do have to admit. This is a real clean player. I've only used the beta's before for youtube, but really like this version leaps and bounds beyond even windows media player. Looks like I gotta relink all my sprint links to go to this player instead of Windows Media. I have to admit this version plays videos better than the others did even in GDI mode.
It's a great program. Hopefully there is something small missing for the Vogue to work with the QTV video mode, but for now in GDI mode it's still leaps and bounds above what I had before. Now gotta figure out how to get youtube to work with this.
you know, both you guys at XDA-Dev as well as the CoreCodec people seem to be trustworthy enough. I'm currently RMAing my cracked phone. So I'll lurk this topic to see if its worked on other peoples phones. If the results seem positive. Then It'll be the first bit of software i install on the new Tilt that'll come in.
beta_boy--Thanks
Hi beta_boy,
Because of your support for our issues, I purchased CorePlayer for our device , but am a vid newb, so having issues, I'll check out the forums on your site.

Post a bit more info please.
Compare different video files in format/bitrate you have already tried without changing anything else on your device. Subjective will do for the moment as most on here will only be happy with a 'visual' improvement as benchmark figures are no substitute for 'bloody great improvement' !!
Need to know this info (drooling at the mouth at the moment!!)
Many thanks.
Just downloaded it. Looked at two different movies, one in MP4 and one in M4V format. Subjectively they look better, playback was smooth as was motion. Hard to quantify of course (and there is likely a placebo effect)e but overall I'd say it's an improvement.
edit nevermind

TCPMP is the business... it's free, it runs pretty much any video file, and it's just as fast as WMP.

Try to put your video settings to Raw Buffering or GDI, it will go faster.
And search first next time, this has been said a dozen times...
thanks alot for all the answers man...i had search but seems too much complain about it
hehe...
am using divx to convert now...but would like to ask how will the quality of core media player if compared to it?
the quality of the file converted is not that bad...but will core media better?

Win Media Player and AVI?

Is there a driver or codec I need to play AVI on my ATT Tilt??
yes, its called: use_the_search.exe
What is that...
WHat is use_the_search.exe???
avi is not a real format it's a container of many many many codecs
like divX and .....

Interesting, with such a helpful guy around, live is easy
As I could not find an addon for the media player to accept .avi I switched to Coreplayer. No regrets, but why use 2 programs where one could do the job?
So mr Fruitcake, please expose your sources.

The free playert is nice, but drags along - very low frames per minute it seems

Optimal media playback for HTC Diamond (TCPMP, CorePlayer, ETC)

So... we all know the Diamond has a powerful 528MHz processor - and supposedly a pretty decent video chipset.
Now, the screen may be a bit small, but we should still be able to play content at pretty decent resolution at 25/30fps.
What settings/drivers/tweaks/registry entries have people used to get the best, smoothest video playback from their Diamond?
Any chance we'll be able to get scene-quality XviD, PSP (h264) or iPOD quality encoded videos to play smoothly on the device without re-encoding all the time? Let's just assume that a typical 175, 350 or 700MB Xvid is used - or whatever the usual iPOD/PSP sizes are for TV shows/movies.
I'm all ears on suggestions
Have to wait for the next Coreplayer release, which will be fully compatible with Diamond.
The actual one still does the job tho.
Our entire Milestone of CorePlayer 1.3 is simply gonna freak ppl out with the amount of new features that will be in it. UPNP, FTP Server/Client, BonJour Support, Channels, v2 UI, etc.

Can't wait
Hoping it will be a lot faster for the Diamond than the current one, large videos like ones at 640x480 seem to struggle a little with the current CorePlayer no matter what setting I try

Do you need someone to properly translate the Spanish language file? Because the current localization is... well... let's say "a bit out of context"
Has anyone figured out the best settings for Coreplayer, I am have a lot of problems with it and can't seem to get video to run smoothly, there are alot of different setting.

Or be able to display lyrics for mp3 or wma songs. I don't really care about the Album art. Display lyrics is more useful than just staring at the album art pic.

I appreciate that, and I know you make a great program, but are there going to be any optimisations speed wise for certain chipset features?
Converting my videos to MP4 (512x384, 700kbps) seems to work rather well without the need for any additional software. I'm using the current O² ROM 1.93.207.2-GER.
I'll just compare it with HTC's 1.93 ROM just to be sure because O² seem to use a different ddi.dll.
I uploaded it for the curious souls.

No. It's just a replacement for ddi.dll which seems to control graphics acceleration.
Hello coreplayer users, do any of you knows why my back ground light only dims, it doesnt go off ? is always on when streaming music ? any way to fix this ? or any program capable of streaming while light is off ?
Thank you all in advanced.
