Which Mediaplayer for Diamond ?

Hi,
which mediaplayer is best for the diamond, or in other words, which support the video accelerator chip (QTv ?). Today I installed Nero Media Player Pro, but it either failed to render TV-Rips (std.~350mb only 1-2sec playback) or very chunky playback of 320h mov files/trailers. Obviously no support of the QTv here.

well sheer power wise, TCPMP is the best media player for any mobile platform but i doubt that it supports the accelerometer and the interface isn't exaclty finer freindly.

Try coreplayer

I've been using coreplayer as well... works great, no conversion needed really... pretty much plays everything...

I'd agree that TCPMP is best for me
I have found that running movies through PocketDivXEncoder first improves the view. I need to test the settings a bit more but video quality between 14 and 20 at full resolution looks great so far (audio 6 or 7)

thanks for your recommendations, will try them.
does any of those support upnp ? like to stream some videofiles from my nas box. therefore reencoding first to divx isn't really an option for me..
btw. while playing around with mediaplayers and wifi today, I burned the battery within TWO hours

Yeah. CorePlayer FTW! I hate TCPMP. CorePlayer is the best media player (video wise). Totally worth paying for. I'd suggest Conduit's Pocket Player for audio files or S2P.

I got Core player and at first before i had the Elite 2.0 ROM it was playing really bad.
Now, For example, i have the last 2 episodes of the latest Doctor Who Series on my diamond and it plays them ReallY well. Its in Sync and its top quality video. I love the VGA screen!!
NOT: These are Xvids that are 500-600MB each so they havent been re-encoded

Hum I have bought coreplayer 1.2.5, if I see a film with the diamond native resolution, it is very slow. Is it normal ?
No problem with the resolution 240*320 but we have a very beautiful screen I would like to see my film on 480*640

Have a full avi rip here of a anime series and TCMP is really crap, it lags, choppy playbacks and freezes then plays. I really dont know how you guys are using it. I am using elite 3.0 and i did try it also on standard manufactures it was the same.

Which version and what settings of Core Player are you using ?
The resolution of the videos is more or less 640x480 ?
I tried like Diagorn the Core Player 1.2.5 and a lot of settings, but on my diamond high quality videos are really slow (the sound is ok, but images is like slideshow)

@yodjar
that is exactly what is happening to me the file itself is around 170mb and its about 22 mins long. Plays beutiful using my p.c and my universal (xda exec) and any other p.c with anything that can play the avi. Please post a solution here if you find one people who seem to have it working dont seem to say how it works it just does.

Nobody ?
I can't understand why this thing doesn't interest ppl more...

I have problems to see some videos
First Sorry for my english I am using a Traslatos then I correct it.
I had moved my videos that I have in my old Eten X800 to the Diamond, most of them can not see but heard, including some filmed with a Photograph camera or with the Eten. That may be happening? I am using the CorePlayer but the same thing happens with some in the Window Media Player 1.2.1 for Arm, with the same Core Player I can see the videos in the Eten.
Thanks Carlos

Yes, Core player is better than TCPMP player I think since I told some videos using y canon ixus 60 and it wouldn't play on the window media player and on TCPMp is jerky but core player is very smooth.

There's a separate thread somewhere about supporting the Qtv chip on the Diamond - have a search if I don't find it before you.

Is there any way to get large videos to play @ full speed?

I'm using TCPMP and I can't get bigger files to play smooth for the life of me...any suggestions?

I second that Especially the new Zune is really nice. You can connect via your router to sync your music. I just hate the zune syncing software it's such a pain in the ass. I wish we could sync with WMP. I mean come on seriously.

Pocket Divx encoder
I had the same problem with my touch. TCPMP would not play large video's .avi even though it supports it. I used Pocket Divx Encoder to reduce the .avi according to my screen size and now I can watch any .avi without any problems and the audio and picture is still incredibly clear. I max out video and audio quality still with no problems during playback.
Pocket Divx Encoder is free
Hope this works for you and enjoy your video's

I use CorePlayer (based on TCPMP ) to play my Divx files (700 to 900 Mo each resolution 660*360, datarate 1010kbps) without any specific Mobile transcoding and it plays quite well with the right settings, with some rare glitches (but i guess it will never work flawlessly until we have the real Kaiser drivers).
TCPMP is good, but Coreplayer is faster on the Kaiser from my own experience.
The only down side about Coreplayer (aside from the fact its not freeware) is that it cannot play AC3 sound unlike TCPMP (due to open source licence)

why i dont understand it...when i had my standard att WM 6.0 rom that came with my tilt...i watched avis and mpeg4//divx movies CRYSTAL CLEAR....and thatt was with no htc ca driver or none of that ****. And now ive upgraded to WM 6.1..first duttys hybrid then L26 and now garmins...and each rom has the same problem...old tcpmps crash and when i use the repack tcpmp app and it works....i have SLUGGISH and chopppy fps when i watch avi movies and mpeg stufff. How is this possible with all the new drivers and such....it was crystal clear to watch movies with WM 6.0..but with 6.1 its choppy and ****ty playback? has anybody found a better fix for this other then converting the movies to sccreen resolution?

have lookedeverywhere for pocket divx encoder but unable to d/l it can anyone post please?

Try xvid4psp. It's free, fast and has enough options. I use MP4 iPod 5.0G settings for Kaiser.

thanks will give it a shot

Sorry, my previous post was meant to be reply to felixthecat.
So, to make things clear:
- XviD4PSP is not media player for PPC.
- XviD4PSP is software for converting videos. You can find it here.
- MP4 iPod 5.0G is just one of the format settings in Xvid4PSP.

I use Core Player for videos. Videos converted with XviD4PSP using my settings does not play well in WM player. You can try it with some other settings.
Here are my current settings:
- Format: MP4 iPod 5.0G
- Denoise/Sharpen: Disabled
- Brightness/Contrast: Disabled
- Video encoding: XviD HQ Ultra
- Audio encoding: AAC-LC ABR 128
I don't know what you mean with "bigger vids", but I use it for converting my divx/xvid movies and shows to MP4 and it works well. I think it supports even DVD files, but i didn't try that.
Last time i checked it took 6 minutes to convert some 30 minutes divx show to MP4 (Athlon X2 4000+, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800GT).

One more thing about Core Player
Core Player with default setup gives me audio out of sync. But you can adjust that in options.

i tried those settings and didn't get a good result

works now i have upgraded coreplayer ... thanks alot

I use it also. I watch moives on my phone and it works fine playing full screen and BT stereo.

try the new win 6.1 that att put out for the tilt... it might be more stable since it is the new shipping rom

whats the best program to play movie's on diamond

wmp on diamond dont take any file almost
i have
mpeg - avi - mp4 - 3gp
non works normaly
on my tytn 2 its working perfect

CorePlayer is the best.
It is not freeware but uses accellerated drivers for TyTN II and Diamond... works flawlessly with almost every video format (Divx, AVC, MPEG, FLV...)

i find the best is TCPMP (free app) will play anything and has super smooth playback with no lags, there is a special version for the Diamond as the old one had problems.
i use it with videos encoded at 500 bit rate and 320x240 resoloution to keep file size down but i have tried full vga res and its looks super sharp on the diamond screen.
hope this helps!
Adam.

core player i have but give me bleu screen when playiong
the other one you have a link for meso i can test it
thxs guys

My Vote is for Coreplayer...but I have also used TCPMP in the past with my old Touch. It was good too...

TCPMP for Diamond:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387&highlight=tcpmp+wm6

Latest version of Coreplayer works pretty much seamlessly.....would recommend if your prepared tofork out the $$

i have downloaded latest core version
now i have serial conflict
i have original serial from them

I would have to say CorePlayer, without a doubt.

I use CorePlayer and play the movies as they are in my PC, i mean no compression apart the already compressed 700MB avis.
The only problem is with AC3 codec.
CorePlayer cant handle that. At least the version im using doesnt.

+1 for Coreplayer!

1000% for coreplayer.
No other choice.
You will have no regret.

Isn't Coreplayer the commercial version of TCMP?

Coreplayer has no rival on the Diamond because of the QTV mode.

COMONNNNNNN! Every answer after the first post has been the same. CorePlayer 1.2.5, its the best, as for QTV, he is right.

coreplayer has qualcomm drivers; TCPMP doesn't. TCPMP is basically an old version of Coreplayer and is NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD; although it is free. So in answer to the question: Coreplayer is the best by far, but TCPMP is the best free option.
On the subjet of Coreplayer - version 2 is on the horizon with extended Youtube and Flash site support and a more touch friendly UI along with, no doubt, more performance tweaks. The built in Youtube app on the Diamond is good, but if you've got a video running you can't read a message or generally multitask. With Coreplayer you can flawlessly do this.

Kaiser @ Video (Kaiser noob...)

Hi all,
first of all my english is really bad
So forgive me if i make a lot of mystakes.... i try to read a lot about the video drivr problem of HTC Kaiser.
I watch ripped movies on my Kaiser but there are a lot of lags... i think that it could be the driver problem (Orginal Sofware Windwos Mobile 6.1 + Coreplayer 1.2.5)
What can i do?
Greets Shai

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. You'll just have to wait for somebody to release the drivers.

What format/resolution are your videos encoded in? 320x240 divx/xvid plays the best without problems.

Wich player u are using ? The core player 1.2.5 ?

Yep, in Kaiser QTV mode.
I'm using Garmin's DK4 Final ROM with the "experimental" 3D drivers cooked in though, if that matters.
I've always been playing videos before that ROM though, and it was fine too. Maybe a bit less smooth, but nothing that would strike me or i'd remember it much better...

so is the new experimental video drivers any good ?
im using Dutty's rom from many months back and havent updated anything.
i was thinking about putting the new video drivers but wassnt sure if its worth it.
anyone pls advise.

Agreed. I now use this with the free TCPMP Player and it works alright. For Shaitan669's info, the drivers referred to in other posts in the thread will have NO effect on video playback quality as they are 3D drivers only and smooth video playback doesn't rely on this.

Which version of TCPMP do you use ?

There seem to be loads of flavours of TCPMP floating around but ive yet to find one that does all Im after ....
What im after is the holy grail of video playback, a player that plays:
AVI
MPG
FLV ('all types')
MP4
The versions Ive tried play some FLVs but not others, or AVI but not MPEG.
The version i currently use is GF5500 but its will only play half the FLVs i try - plus it tears a lot on AVI (is this a hardware limitation of the touchpro ?).
Any suggestions ??
The last few phones i have had managed to play most video (the N95 was very good at that) so Im sure that the Touch Pro MUST have the capability for smooth playback surely

Use the cab at the bottom of the first post.

cheers ... but that was one of the ones i tried before - doesnt play mpeg 4 v2 (according to msg i get) and still doesnt play half my FLVs
unless im doing something wrong - which i wouldnt rule out at all

used to run tcpmp 0.82 on my previous Trinity device, not very impressed with it though (could be the slow, older device though).
not sure I can answer your q.

I use CorePlayer, latest build.

Ditto, I use the latest Core Payer and it plays all my video files including all my flvs. There's an flv plug-in for the TCPMP that I never had any problems with either, but I was happy to pay the developers for the commercial product after using their free player for years of viewing pleasure.

TCPMP may not meet all your needs. The link I pointed to seems to be the the best I've found for WM6.1 stability etc. Not sure if you mean WMV9 when you say mpeg4 v2 but if so, you can extend TCPMP funtionality by dropping WM5 codecs into your windows folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298126
I also use Coreplayer but keep TCPMP around as I find it best with Orb. Both will play the few .flv clips that I've pulled down from YouTube.
Keep in mind that on Raphael, WMP and HTC Album have access to h/w acceleration in the Qualcomm chipset, and run rings around CorePlayer and TCPMP for supported MP4 formats, including H.264.
We can only hope that CorePlayer will open their wallets to Qualcomm. I, for one, would pay for an upgrade (to my existing corePlayer license).
Cheers
