best video player for the wing... - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

so i have tons of vids i wanna put on my wing but idk what type of format my stock wing can play..i have 2 vids that r mp4 that play fine....but when i try 2 put some more they run super slow or i get no image only sound.....any 1 know what other media players are available for the wing???

I would use tcpmp it's freeware and in my opinion by far the best and fastest video player if you just want to watch a movie...just google it and you'll find it

tcpmp is like VLC for the ppc (LOTS OF ANTONYMS)
it plays everything

Listen to the two guys above... The problem with lots of HTC phones is the lack of drivers. They skimped. Fortunately we have the freeware community.

You should also check out the commercial version of TCPMP, Core Player. I used to love TCPMP and never wanted to switch to Core until they rolled out the new ones.

core player is 20 € though. Thats a bit steep !

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.

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

Coreplayer for Xperia jerky and skips.

Guys i recently installed coreplayer for xperia. The issue i faced is the video playback is not upto the mark. Its kinda jerky and stops skips videos in between and not smooth.
Has anyone faced this issue with X1 by the way my friend has omnia and the same verison of coreplayer installed on his cell but the video playback is perfect without any skips.
same here...bought x1 5 days ago tried everything and that piece of crap doesnt work same as coreplayer :/ i downloaded the Video...Encoding...GUI_Full.HD stuff which converts video...converted one but the movie on X1 doesnt look like a movie !! it looks like a slideshow but guess what windows media player plays this video Perfectly...written by the big P so im asking wtf ??
the X1 does have some performance issues. this has been discussed several times in the past
the omnia performs a lot better because it has a much faster CPU and because the resolution is 1/4th of that of the xperia so it does not need to work as hard to get smooth playback
core player doesnt support x1 hardware acceleration... thats the main problem there
ok ok but what to do ? im playing aroung with it from the day i bought it and nothing that i tried helped and im a bit frustrated :/ i dont wanna use wmp
Maybe you should get an IPhooon its click and play no hussle and stuff no need to tweak and every thing works (well every thing that comes with it)
install custom rom... gfx booster... convert videos with tool posted here on forums and play them in media panel... no lag at all...
Media panel and converted movies is best solution. And no, you don't need custom rom.
Crystal player is just useless. Yeah, it's sad.
well thats wierd, i play 700mb highres avi files on coreplayer without any problem, maybe its the videos you try to play..? i only face lagging with flv files.
btw i have stock uk r3aa010
I found that some people find 80% speed 'perfect'. I can spot single dropped frame.
Run benchmark a post the results, subjective value is meaningless.
And yes, of course, it does depend on the movie. I play most of the 700mb movies under 90%.
i have not had any problems with coreplayer either....
The movie i am playing is in mkv format and around 500megs in size

1-Use HTC Touch HD video converter
2-Play your converted video with windows player or the media panel
3-Have fun
I have CorePlayer 1.3.2 and i played recently a movie DVD-Rip of 1.45 Gb straight copy and paste from my computer on Xperia. Had no problems, i watched the whole movi without lags, frameskips or sound not synchronized with video...

That I simply cannot believe. Post benchmark results, and movie info (resolution, bitrate).

Me neither. 80% is what I usually get as speed with 1.3.2. Btw this DVD-Rip may be some small resolution, like 640x272.
I just don't get it, such a good phone with such a lousy movie playing capabilities.
OK... here's the facts.
It's all about perception. Some individuals can watch a movie that displays at 24fps (frames per second, which is the standard) and see a perfectly smooth movie. The brains fills in the gaps between each image and creates the illusion of full motion.
Some lucky individuals can look at a movie playing at 20fps and still see a smooth movie while most of us will perceive it as jerky.
Some unlucky individuals (myself included) find anything less than 30 fps to be jerky.
And finally. Coreplayer + xvid files do not use the acceleration feature of the chipset hence the standard *cough* downloaded tv show will usually be and 624 x 352 with a 912Kbps bit rate (These are average stats)
Will run at about 80%-85% framerate on your X1 giving you a fps of about 20fps.
If you reenconde using the sticky programme GUI you can play the same file at 100% USING ONLY WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER/MEDIAL PANEL!!! (coreplayer will still run it at 85% ish)
Yes .. I just want those people who can watch movies at 80% to realize how lucky they are
Well, there has been so many threads on this subject...
I don't see where the problem is to use Windows Media Player to watch a movie, it's just perfect. Files that cannot be opened by WMP (like flv for example) can be opened with CorePlayer, that's nice.
I don't want to hurt anybody, but maybe people whose mind totally deny this very simple concept should may be go to see a psy We have the right tools, they work perfectly, so why do you want to re-invent the wheel ?
Well most people want to watch AVI movies .. and those are not watchable in WMP and jerky in CorePlayer. If you don't want to watch them, good for you.

HTC TOuch Pro TCPMP vs.CorePlayer

Which is better Mort player...Nitrogen..Core player... What pro and cons does each have.. Is core player in tcpmp?
Thanks Guys
Let me know
TCPMP is free and does the same job as CorePlayer ... although is not as sleek as the last one, TCPMP can play .avi and most of the formats flawlessly. On the other hand CorePlayer has a lot of other functions (youtube integrated app, support for alot of other formats, better looking and much more user-friendly etc.) so i can say it deserves the money (if u have no problem spending some) and i personally prefer coreplayer. But than again i remind you that the TCPMP does the job right.
Some users reported that CorePlayer sometimes skips frames and the playback is buggy...i didn.t encounter that and most of this happend because of bad playback setup.
Regarding mort player and nitrogen ... i don.t like neither. I prefer PocketMusic Bundle, for mp3 playback, it is in my opinion the best player there is, especially when you use your headphones
PS: the answer is simple: both perform very well, is just a matter of wich one you prefer and of course remember that CorePlayer is not free
i convert to mp4 and watch everything on windows media player mobile because it is the only reliable app that you can use to watch your Raphael on TV with no bugs

HTC Album and Windows Media Player have access to built in hardware accleration of MP4 formatted video. Coreplyer is not match for either of the two aforemention apps regarding MP4.
I still find TCPMP more reliable when streaming video or TV from Orb, better than both WMP and Coreplayer.
I use Coreplayer primarily for XviD/DivX video.

Salut,
Do you have a copy handy?
Mersi
Google up "TCPMP Tech1 PRO7 Digital Play HD StandAlone Version.cab" and give it a shot. It is an excellent media player, and is much better assembled than earlier versions. It plays FLV videos really well.
Thanks
I was asking for PocketMusic actually
Thank you

Avi to Mp4

Hey guys i did a couple searches and really didnt find to much info..Im just wanting to know threw trial and error what converter did you use for the best playback from a xvid/divx avi to Mp4. i have used alot of them and there is always issues. Also The player is def important, is cinema the best?
I think the playback codecs are a lot more important than the player. With that said, I use Combined Community Codec Pack along with Media Player Classic. You could go with VLC for full, out-of-the box codec support too, but the interface is almost an OS itself and I'm a minimalist.
For encoding, I use and preffer (and so do many others) SUPER © encoder:
www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
well i have used super to convert 4 differnt ways but the G1 doesnt even detect the movies. Is there something im missing? what settings should i choose?
http://forums.tmonews.com/index.php?topic=3261.0
Guide to using Super C
Ya i did follow that but for some reason no matter what i always get an error. I have all the codec's installed, i think, is there a windows 7 codec pack? Also the video is an xvid avi.

Another good one but it cost $25

Most codec's are packed into windows 7 now. You can always update your divx codec. There's another program I use at home called DVD Fab Platinum that works good to.
DVD Jon has his Doubletwist "iTunes Replacement" app out.. It takes all the guess work out just a litlle clunky on the interface...
Before that i used handbreak, with the old ipod settings (and a little tweeking) works great and only takes about 15 min for a 700mb avi...
