First of i would like to say their really should be a new sticky for tcpmp problems and even people who have upgraded to coreplayer and are STILL having sluggish slow fps problems. i completly abandoned tcpmp player...period because of all this.
So i have the newest version of coreplayer now, i went ahead and got it because tcpmp is now idle and useless with the new 6.1 professional obviously...and if some of you have tcpmp working you are very LUCKY.
So anyway tcpmp was very sluggish fps and choppy, so i went ahead and got with coreplayer, and ive noticed with the upgrade.. it is SLIGHTLY...and i mean SLIGHTLY better in video playback and picture quality then tcpmp...i have HTC ca drivers installed, all the test run fine...i even tried to the samsung drivers....so since i noticed a slight improvement with coreplayer in watching my avis and mpeg4's videos and movies(dvd rips)...so i know...its gotta be my settings....
I used to be able to watch crystal clear movies, videos through avi and mpeg4 on WM 6.0, i only started having these problems with upgrading to 6.1 professional. Youtube still plays fine but im just getting low fps and sluggish response on videos with coreplayer...so does anybody have a set of settings that works perfectly fine and you can watch dvd rip movies and such crystal clear? plz post your buffer settings and anything else that may help some of us...
I guess nobody knows...I mean all the threaads I've read have been people convert videos down to screen resolution......so then theirs no choppy ness in coreplayer...but with wm 6.0 orwith tcpmp also when I watched riped dvds sent from my computer, I never hd to do this and all my movies were crytal clear.....why all of a sudden I have to start converting movies now? is there something wrong with 6.1 cooked roms? should we all d/l att 6.1 cuz its real 6.1 instead of cooked ones and maybe nobody will have have bugs with all these other roms
I have similar problem before, but ever since I converted all my video files to FLV extension, the problem's gone.
I've been using the upgraded version of Coreplayer for months and haven't had a problem with it.
I have it installed on my storage card.
The only quirk I've found, is that if you plug your storage card into your computer to copy files (I do this with Vista, so maybe it's a Vista thing), it'll try to defrag the card and it hoses up the software on it.
You could try a master reset on your phone and reinstall Coreplayer. That may improve your framerate.
I seriously don't have a framerate problem (unless I play HUGE files that are 1024x768, it's choppy with those). I have several videos that I've downloaded from the 'net and I copy them to my phone and play them, without converting them. Average video size is 35mb.
I'm thinking it may be something else in your phone thats causing the lag. When was the last time you actually shut it off and turned it back on?

Well its that time of the year. My ATT contract just expired and I'm due for a new phone!
I was wondering about the Kaiser's media playback. I would really like my next phone to have strong video and audio playback.
I was considering the iPhone, but the lack of necessary features turned me off. I know it is great for media, but that phone is just NOT for me.
I would like your comments on the Kaiser's video/audio playback. Also, what 3rd party apps are you using for your video/audio?
Finally, I was wondering if the Kaiser was for me. Should I wait for another phone with good media playback, or should i jump on the Kaiser. I'm really into phone customization (my current phone is modded up the butthole, both software and hardware) and I know just by browsing through this forum that the Kaiser offers plenty of customization.
I have about a week to decide, so no rush. I would like some honest, well written, feedback. THANKS!!

You mean this as a joke, right ? You want to rub this in ? Have you even read one thread on this board ?
Media playback (both performance and quality) is sub par on the Kaiser. You would probably want to go with another brand all together.
I dont get it...
I can watch whatever the hell I want on my kaiser and its perfectly fine, no lag at all (even on youtube) I almost cant tell the different from my iPod and my Kaiser besides when i poke my kaiser it pauses, and when I poke my iPod, a mac genius comes from nowhere and says 'dont do that'
lol @ tyeo098
video drivers aren't being utilized to its full potential yet because of HTC and their drivers

Does it play normal TV shows encoded in XviD without hiccups as well?
The whole point of having a media eccelerating processor for me is that I don't have to worry about reencoding stuff. With the Kaiser I have to in order to maintain smooth playback.

Yes it can play everything fine at low resolutions, if you use for example pocketdivx encoder and downsize something to 320x240 it will play just fine, but the whole point is that it has hardware acceleration capabilities that should allow you to play it without having to re encode and downsize videos. You should be able to play a xvid file over wifi without lagging or having to re-encode. The camera should be a lot faster than it is, even a "free" flip phone's camera is faster, internet explorer needs to be a lot faster with scrolling even with the fix.
The phone isn't bad, but its not on par with other 400mhz devices, does that make sense?
Audio quality is excellent with the TMP media player.

While I disagree with you on some of your points, I definitely agree 100% with the camera portion of what you said. It is ridiculously slow. For me it is nearly useless. I had a Moto Razr (the first one) years ago, which could take an adequate picture. Not beautiful, not 3MP, but usable. I literally can't use the camera on this phone, because it is just TOO slow. If I can make the subject, and myself stay static for 5 hours (which is how long it seems to take after you press the button), then the pics turn out okay. It's the time it takes which make it useless.
With that said, I love my Tilt, and would never trade it, even for 2 iphones
All i know is that I have basically used SUPER and PDivxE to encode everything that left my computer to a device.
So yes, i guess thats just peachy then.
And it plays youtube videos as well. I watched a whole episode of Kenny vs Spenny on youtube (kenny cheated of course), it was the one where they were obese... and who could be that way the longest.
ANYWAYS...
I see no current problem with TCPMP but thats just me, like I said, you SHOULD encode anything that goes on the kaiser, it takes up less space anyways =D
I just Have one question...
On my PSP (I tend to xcompare the two alot) there is a program caleed PiMP Streamer, basically it lets me stream video, audio, pictures, any media off my computers HDD and on to my PSP's screen. Is there anything for the kaiser that can do this?
Peace-

Hi,
A firend of mine bought a Diamond so I tried some apps on it. And I found out TCMP is a bit slower on the Diamond than on my Elf which is only a 200 MHz cpu overclocked to 234. In fact mine is about 5-10% faster on benchmark mode ! I tried both gdi and directdraw on the diamond but my Elf is always faster.
Also it seems the display is a bit buggy sometimes, as if the vsync was out of sync.
Any idea about that ? I know the screen resolution is 640*480 on Diamond and only 320*200 but I expected a so much better framerate with a faster cpu...
Yeah Diamond is crappy when it comes to video playback. Havent yet found a solution for playing simple streams without fps drop.
The CPU is damn weak and no penny worth.
And HTC dont give a **** about it.
The Diamond has accelerated video, but DirectDraw does not utilize it.

When talking about streamed video playback. Then yes, the diamond is crappy! But if we are talking about file video playback it is really awesome ! You don't even need to convert or compress the video..
well with coreplayer i get about 90% framerate when i play a standard tv episode (350mb, 624x352). and about 95% when i zoom in to fill the screen.
though i would like 100 % better, especially because ther are some times slowdowns.

Stop talking nonsense.
As for the sibject of the post:
Have you tried changing your video output?
RAW Framebuffer? GDI? ...
What is the original resolution of the video you're trying to play?
it is also slow for me, and it was faster with my Elf.
I tried the same, downloaded divx.

You know that the cpu of the diamond ist only about two times faster than that of your overclocked elf. But it has to process 4 times the data (VGA) than your elf.

thx, that was the problem.
I was using 1.2.4, without QTV.
Now I installed 1.2.5 and it is much faster with QTV. it is perfect.
some benchmark:
86,91% (Direct Draw)
87,90% (Raw frame buffer)
79,78%(GDI)
130,35% (QTV)

I'm using TCMP 0.72 and there's no QTV option in it ! is this an updated version so ? We are talking about TCMP here, not Coreplayer
sorry, i was speaking about coreplayer.

It not nonsens. Diamond is a piece of crap when it comes to play streamed video. Not even af 500kbit can it play without 25% fps drop.
Even if i use Wifi on a 20mbit connection which playes perfectly on my computer with 2mbit streams.

Im quite serious.
I havent been able to play a stream without massive framedrop.
Im using DiamondTv with Coreplayer and Qtv enabled.
My old SE K850i does a way better job when it comes to streamed video.

Thats strange because I havent seen a stream that does have frame drops on my TD using Diamond TV even without using wifion my 3G/HSDPA connection
I stream youtubes all day, goes perfect.
CorePlayer does not support the MSM7200 series QTv chipsets, only the 7500 series.
The Diamond (and Touch Pro) utilize the 7200 series. So CorePlayer does NOT take advantage of the hardware acceleration ... yet - I hope.
That's what several people at CoreCodec have told me.
Hi,
I've just got my new HTC Diamond and I've got a problem. Whenever I play anything that's in mp3 there's only noise. The noise can't be stopped. Only soft reset works. This happens in every audio application even when I play a video with mp3 compressed audio. When I tried to play video with mpeg2 audio compression everything worked fine.
ROM is original one. Hardreset doesn't help.
I recorded the noise with mic:
http://porcupinetree.ic.cz/mp3problem.mp3
Pls pls help
Thanks
what program are you using?
well I tried play it in the touch flo interface player after hardreset and in core player... then I tried conduits pocket player
but now I'm trying to play it in some other player (pocket music) and it seems working now !!!
how is that possible? WM6.1 does't have mp3 codecs ?
it does have MP3 codecs, fresh out the box it should play MP3s and WMAs either thru Media Player (which sucks) or thru the TouchFlo interface...
strange one that.
The only thing i can think of is that you have installed a program which has corrupted the codec?
no no I tried it in touchflo interface on freshly hardreseted system with no installed application...weird
very strange, might be a hardware problem then. is it intermittent?
after installing pocketmusic everything still works fine
funny... the problem's back.. grrr
i think i'll just return the phone to the shop (for the second time ! in the first case phone had display defect)
yeh, i got two dodgy ones, got my money back the second time and went elsewhere!
Hello,
I have already seen on the forum that many people complained about the audio and
video sync problem. I have tried Docs and Darkys ROMs but no chance. There is
always a 0.5 sec difference between sound and video. Tried different players.
Could someone please confirm that this is a widespread issue with Froyo 2.2 or
Is it just a faulty device problem ? I would love to find an answer to this question.
Or even is there anyone playing avi files or youtube videos without any sync issue ?
Thanks.
(Also seen this problem in HTC forums thats why i suspect that the issue is related
to the OS.)
I would guess that its more like faulty or incompatible video file formats .
That is the general reason why many phones have difficulty with some videos .
The only way to test is to take a file from a clean source and of the required format that your phone is supposed to play .
Or even is there anyone playing avi files or youtube videos without any sync issue
Answer = yes the vast majority are .
Just checked Stream from Youtube perfect sound .
Streaming is a function of your internet connection .
Playback saved HD Nasa video clip again perfect .
jje
Well, recorded few videos with my phone to check sound sync. Turns out the files
play completely in sync on my computer but they are out of sync by 0.5 sec when
I play them on my phone. Have seen many ppl in various forums with this issue but
was not able to find a solution bah
works well previously on 2.1 but not on 2.2....
HD MKV plays fine over BlueTooth or via speaker, same with recorded videos or anything video.
Have you tried just rebooting the device and having nothing running in the background?
I tried everything from flashing 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 to hard reseting. Nothing works.
Even youtube videos are not in sync. There is a delay of 400ms between sound
and video.
As its not a widespread issue it suggest something wrong with your phone .
Hardware you would need to go back to the seller/service centre .
You could try going back to Eclair problem still then its hardware wiping all data a formatting phone and having no apps on to test .
Test file download a video from

Hi i bought my DS7 a while ago and I upgraded it to HC.
And I've noticed that under HC the video playback in internet browser i really choppy it used to be like that on Froyo as well but on HC it's even worse.
Sometimes video just stop for about 5-7 seconds and just skip forward after a while. The sound is fine.
I'm watching a normal quality 360p/480p straight from the webiste.
While I'm using YouTube app everything is fine even in high res videos.
Everything is smooth.
What may cause it ? Any ideas ?
My internet connection is 14Mb/s.
And I always connect via wi-fi cause I've got the wi-fi only model.
I really like that tablet but the choppy video playback is killing me.
And I don't want to sell it just because of that.
What websites are you watching off of?
Flash on android can accelerate some types of video, but not all.
I dont have any issues streaming 480p / h264(avc)+aac to my s7.
I would assume it could take up to 1080i/p if it wasnt for the fact the screen cant display it at all IF the video is in a format that can be accelerated.
Youtube switched over to h264 a while back as the iphones couldnt render vp6(or whatever it was) at all; so all but the oldest, unupdated videos are h264 which is accelerated.
Other websites can use whatever codec their flash video player allows, which potentially means you're watching a video in a codec that isnt accelerated on android = choppy even at low res.
I'm reading lots of websites.
Mostly www.gamezilla.pl, www.ppe.pl, www.gadżetomania.pl, www.ps3site.pl
These are polish websites about games and gadgets.
Could anyone try them on yours DS7 ?
I hate iPad and other 9/10 inch tablets but when I go to the mall and I try one of them with my favourite websites and it's always so super smooth I think more and more about buying one and selling my precious DS7 ...
If it's Android's fault or tegra's 2 then all I can do really is to buy a new tablet ;/
Can you provide a specific example?
I opened a random video and it works fine, it's also 720p
http://gamezilla.komputerswiat.pl/filmy/2011/39/guild-wars-2
Generally if it doesnt work on android it wont work on ios either as android supports more stuff (mainly via flash, non flash is equal)
Bummer ... Maybe I've got to much trash on my device.
I'll try to reset the whole thing to factory settings and I'll try it on fresh and clean setup. If that won't help then I'll look arround for different device I guess.
Thanks for trying anyway
If you can find a working example odds are it wont work on any tablet.
If that's the case only thing you can really do is yell at the website because they're using codecs that arnt favored by any platform (pcs can get-by by brute forcing their way though)
Let me see.
I watched this news today and it was really choppy all 3 YT videos :
http://www.ppe.pl/news-12500-PlayStation_Vita_wyladowalo_w_Japonii.html
Hmm strange, it's slightly choppy if you watch though the miniplayer.
But if you click the youtube button it loads and is completely smooth, so it's not the video itself. There's a possibility it's the miniplayer not behaving.
The youtube site player is a HTML5 one i believe, so it might either be flash or the player itself that's the issue. In this one example i'd say to just watch it though youtube, but that's not applicable on other sites if they're also giving issue.
From what I know if this happened on ios you simply end up with no video at all if it doesnt have the HTML5 version available. Assuming you dont watch it though the youtube app (which would still be recommeneded for both platforms if possible)
The reason i like to watch straight from the webiste is that its much more easy, less taping etc.
Just one tap and after watching I can carry on reading the news.
Thanks for help.
Have you tried Dolphin Hd browser. I stopped using the stock ds7 browser for the same reason
