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.

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.

how to improve video playback

i know the Diamond is positioned as a multi media phone, but every video/movie file i play on it is very jerky. From cartoons (southpark) to music videos and converted movies, they all play like crap. is there a way to improve the performance of video playback?

What player are you using?
I use CorePlayer. It plays perfectly smoothly. (both AVI's and H.264 mp4's)

I've just been using the stock player

Use CorePlayer.
When people ask a question, they put a question mark at the end.

so no free solutions/players to solve this issue, eh? Wasn't planning on spending $20 for a media player.

You can try TCPMP (the seed of CorePlayer). It´s not as much optimized but it´s much better than the Windows Media Player, and plays much more formats.
Search the forum for "TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB". The standard version of TCPMP doesn't run in WM6.1, but this one does and includes the more common plugins (MP4, AC3, etc...).
Good luck.

I got some nasty vsynch issues when playin back AVIs using Coreplayer, both in Directdraw and GDI modes. I convert AVIs to 320x240 using SPB DVD, because native resolution (DVD format for the most) is quite sluggy. In 320x240 it's perfectly smooth, except those v-synch issues. Do you have the same issue ?

I rendered to 320x240 also using tcpmp it plays smoothly, but only uses a small part of the screen. switching to fullscreen or zoom -> framelags about 20! secs. very disgusting. This Phone seems NOT to be a multimediaPhone

I'm using TCMP, think i use GDI mode.
No Vsync issues, no problems. 90% of media files work perfect (avi,divx,etc)
http://www.diemetrix.net/diemetrix/TCPMPforWM6.CAB

yes but in what quality and bitrate
edit: now thats weird I tried play same movie 640 x 364 avi and benchmark:
coreplayer QTv mode high quality 96%
TCPMP RAW dither on 99% so where is problem with QTv support??? Yeah and there is with GDI and also RAW discusting vsync issue
anyone know if its better xvid or divx in case of performance???

[REQ] avi codes for WMP

hi i have a diamond and i need .avi codes for the windows media player because thats the only way the movies i watch acclerated by the hardware!!! no tcpmp no coreplayer works good enough for me!!!
SO plz if sum one can find them or make them for that matter , all of us with diamonds and HD's will be very happy!!!
ive already searched the forums and no results!!!

Coreplayer plays my movies better than WMP. If you use version 1.3 there's a QTv Display video output mode. Works really good, sharp and flawless video's!!!

i am aware of that.... but i have come to know that WMP/HTC ALBUM can use the inbuilt graphics Accelerator to play the video file .... hence i tested that with .mp4 files!!!! and it worked amazing.... n the same file would not play properly on coreplayer sine there was no accleration, which made me think that if WMP cud play .avi files i woud have even more smooth video quality as coreplayer..... hence i made the post!!!!

It does sounds interesting though, because I prefer using my WMP to play multimedia files. I already use it as a MP3 player, but because WMP can't play avi's I had to use CorePlayer...

what do i have to do to get smooth video?

This is a great place!
I have been reading all the threads that might have anything to do with video playback.
I've installed those 3D drivers and graphics were improved on that hologram thing and "light 3d"
Still, video playback is choppy and im grinding my teeth seeing it!
I have converted videos in all kinds of formats in all kids of FPS and KBPS and kept VGA resolution and still no use.
Have i missed something?
thanks!!

what media player are you using dude? ive been using TCMP for the longest time and i have no problems on playing my videos/movies...

i tried using the built in windows media player, coreplayer, and i have used tcpmp once but the bottom taskbar was black so i didnt know what problem that program had.
anyways, the tcpmp didnt play smooth. maybe i had a bad version?

Have you tried viewing some other content other than your own converted files? try using the attached sample avi with all 3 players and see how that goes.

ive tried the videos that came with the phone.
windows media player handles videos much better than coreplayer but still no smooth video.
this is weird, on other ppc's that ive had (a few) coreplayer/tcpmp played videos much better than wmp.
over here its the exact opposite.
how come?

what ROM are you using?

original ROM that came with the diamond.
in my case its 2.o3
israel orange

help? anyone?

I don't know anyone here who is on the same ROM. you could try upgrading the ROM??

what ROM should i use?
can i extract the hebrew that comes with the ROM currently on my diamond?
i kinda need it

well of course that the built in WMP will play the video smoother than the core player. It`s because only WMP can use the hardware accelerator in the phone.
still the core player don`t have the proper drivers to access to the GPU.

ya it plays smoother, but still not smooth.
and theres all this tearing.

make sure you use qtv

With TCPMP set Video to GDI.

i installed tcpmp and when i ran it it came up with a message "crashed"
and it won't run.
i used Qtv with the coreplayer and it was still slugish

Be sure you use the version on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519543&highlight=TCPMP
It works great on my Diamond.

Ive installed a tcpmp from another thread from this forum.
It works and plays videos but its still slugish.
Is there a patch or a fix i was supposed to install?

Smooth video playback
Hi all,
I was having problems with jerky video playback.
I did some searching and found this link-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
It works a treat really smooth and in 640 480
WELL DONE

I saw this too...
It doesn't play smooth on my device.
still, this is the program i use to convert video if i wanna play something on my diamond
even tho it stinks (the diamond not the program!)

Hi idandavid,
PM me your email and I will send you a mov video of my Diamond playing a smooth video.
Or send me a video, I will conver it and try playing it on my Diamond. I can then send you the converted file to compare on your Diamond.
Hope this helps
Grez
