Anyone try it yet? Downloading now...
Installed last night over v1.1.3 without issue. I just have coreplayer installed, no TCPMP or flash bundles. I went to m.youtube and picked a video, Core opened and streamed it nicely. It looks pretty much the same as before but the change log certainly shows a ton of fixes and tweaks.
I installed it too, and still cannot play files from m.youtube. I have TCPMP and flash installed.
Also still cannot get audio from ac3 files, do you have the same?
gnollo,
Go into Core Player menu>tools>preferences>select page>File Associations and set RTSP protocol (check the box).

Does ist only support m.youtube? Or is there a chance to get it working with full youtube like TCMP with Videoflashbundle?
They promise full youtube support later this month
Ac3 will only be supported later

Guys,
Don't get your hope high for Youtube, it will never happen the way TCMP does with flash bundle...
Personally, I am very disappointed with Core Player's progress, I brought the very first version of CP on the day it was released back in Oct 06 and an year and half later, it's hardly any different (my opinion) Betaboy will tell us of millions of fixes, improvements etc but I am not convinced at all. I am still using TCMP Player.
Here is confirmation from Betaboy...
"As far as YouTube... we do not play ANY flash video... nor will we ever with the restrictions Adobe has on the Flash Container (even though we do support it internally for testing purposes only)"

I checked RTP and RTSP then exited Core and did a power off reset and it worked fine after that.

tried that but no change.
CP shows filename and duration after loading, but the video never appears. I tried moving along the timeline, no change.
seems better than previous versions
It might be a soon judgment / coincidence though, but the 1.2 which replaces my 1.1.3 plays smootlhly (in QTV mode)
Is it the extra twealing they did, or the DCS V1.7 ROM...(the fastest I tested so far) it will stay a mistery.
Gonna try VBenchmark tomorrow to see if we get a +1800 score .
No youtube playback through Coreplayer...

Been having the same problem as you. I even flashed a new ROM to my Kaiser, but to no avail.
@ Alemaker:
Could you check please to see what you may have installed that is bringing you success? Flash application? TCPMP without FlashBundle or whay?
Any ideas Betaboy?
QTV does not work for LG KS20
The QTV mode does not work with coreplayer 1.2 on my LG KS20, all I get is a black screen. Do I have to do something to have this program working as advertised for the MSM 7200 chipset ?
I searched this forum and found another KS20 user stating that the 1.1.3 was already not working and some users having differents PPC having the same black screen problem. I found a post on the 1.2 release thread on the coreplayer forum where another KS20 user was having the same blank screen problem. Did anyone found how to get rid of it ? I bought coreplayer yesterday for QTV support, and since it does not work, it is useless for me since TCPMP is working as well as this product without QTV support.
If someone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
Edit : the rtsp protocol does not work either, and I have the same problem as the user on the coreplayer forum : I can no more view rtsp streams with WMP when I uncheck this protocol support in coreplayer. Any help about this too ?
Could someone tell me whether CorePlayer can play audio files using a simple folder-type structure - i.e. just a plain list of files in their folder order, NOT using ID3 album/artist/genre/inside-leg-measurement/etc tags.
What I have at the moment (playing via PocketMusic 4) is just one AUDIO folder on my storage card, and within that there's a PODCAST folder, a RADIO folder and a SONGS folder. These three folders are updated automatically every time I sync my device to my PC so that any newly fetched podcasts, individual song downloads, etc are copied into the three folders silently.
When I launch PocketMusic, it scans the whole AUDIO folder and creates a list of all my MP3 files, showing the podcast files at the top, then radio stuff and finally songs (with each folder's contents neatly sorted alphabetically). Playback returns to the last played item and position by default, which is great for those two-hour podcasts that I can't listen to in one session. Once I've listened to a podcast, I just delete the file via PocketMusic from the device, and the sync program will later delete the PC copy too. All really simple and neat and totally automatic.
I guess the one big downside is that is won't play video podcasts. I've looked at lots of other programs, but nothing else seems to offer this very logical load-list-on-startup and sort by folders facility. Will CorePlayer do this sort of thing?

Hey! Where the heck to you set 1.2 so that if you put your device to sleep (lock the keys and turn off the backlight) the music continues to play?

whocares2... let me first offer you a refund as "it does not work, it is useless for me". Second we will look into the WMP fill assoc bug.
Also... Did you follow the other threads here about QTv and what we did to get it to work? But point taken in that we we not 'officially' state QTv support but we will mark it as 'unofficial'.

I downloaded vTap and loaded it onto the latest HTC Official WM 6.1 ROM and it closes when you press the play button to start a movie.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
try soft reset after installing...u might have to take the Vtap icon off ur home screen also since it puts it there automatically after install/reset...
i installed it a week ago, ive reset many times since then and removed the today icon right away. There just isn't enough room on the today screen for all this stuff!
Anyways, it just crashes when the video starts to play (I don't get to see any video, it crashes right away)

I know this is specifically for vtap, but you can use other, more reliable, methods to watching youtube or any kind of flash video.
vtap was just too much. Quality wasn't that good either compared to tcpmp.

http://www.avotmedia.com/
is there any application that works like vTap? Those 2 links are websites. I like programs more then websites for my Pocket PC because of the screen size and overall speed of programs is just faster then websites.
EDIT: The avot mv thing is an app, but its REALLY choppy and it doesn't preserve the aspect ratio (it stretches the video to fit in the screen), but im guessing the choppiness is thanks to those GREAT drivers from HTC.

the avot mv is a program u download to ur device from tht site its similar to Vtap (i like vTap better tho) and the tcpmp player and bundle are also on the other link so u can go directly to youtube and play from there...ur choice...
I have used TCMP w/ flash plugin and i have vTAP on my kiaser right now and it works great... no issues at all. I like its simplicity of use.
When I use Vtap, the quality of the video is really poor.. is it suppose to be like that?
vtap resolution worthless IMO

Hello. I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. We have just released a new version of the client which should greatly improve the video quality when playing Youtube, or Metacafe videos.
You can download the latest client by pointing you browser to www.vtap.com and downloading the client.
Here are some details of what is fixed in this release:
http://forum.vtap.com/index.php?topic=4.0
Once you install the client, you will want to enable the DirectPlay option under Tools/Options/Media
Inorder to enable the direct draw option, you will need to install some additional files on your phone. More detals about this can be found in our FAQ #15 - http://forum.vtap.com/index.php?topic=6.0
Please give this a try, and let me know if you see an improvement.
Thanks!
You could also try the new CorePlayer 1.2.1 which has a Youtube viewer in it.
Is there a thread somewhere with instructions on how to install and configure TCPMP with flash bundle? I have tried getting this working on my Tilt with no success.
I'm going to try out CorePlayer in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestion.
I need help with youtube/TCPMP 0.72RC1 with flashflv and also youtube player. I also tried the WM6.1 TCPMP install from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367070
Both duttys newst ROM and L26 ROM are giving me troubles with youtube.
Whenever I load a video, it will show the first frame, and then nothing else. It wont play. I have a tilt. With older ROMs it worked just fine. I could be wrong, but it seems that since the ROMs started using wm6.1 I've got this error.
I know other people have it running fine. I know other people are having the same problem as I am.
I install a ROM.
Install tomtom. works great.
Updated my contacts with Active Sync.
Went to ytpocket.com and pulled up a video and it loaded WMP and didnt work.
So I downloaded TCPMP 0.72RC1 and TCPMP FLV Plugin from ytpocket.com
changed file associations to include flash and mms
changed these settings
-Normal buffer size: 1148KB
-Preload at underrun: 5%
-Preload for audio: 64KB
changed it to run at start and in full screen.
Rebooted.
Still freezes on first frame. Program still responds. just movie doesnt play.
Tried different clips.
i'm stuck
bump
anyone?
mhm i have dutty 6.1 hybrid and it work fine havent ran in to any issue with youtube i dono why your having the problem do you hear the sound tho atleast ???
Using dutty's latest rom here, and I'm having no problems at all with this app here
It doesn't have the ability to search or play the other video sites, but as far as youtube goes, this app is superior.
Today I just got Youtube working for the first time in my life with the TyTN2
With L26's Diamond V3, connected with WiFi (I don't use GPRS/3GP)
Not with TCPMP, just clicking a link in PIE, opens the video with Streaming Media player..
Only thing I changed was options > connect via: The internet in Streaming Media
I finally got it working with some hard work on my part on L26 v4 ROM. Posted the solution in th l26 v4 rom thread.
lots of ppl are having this issue. glad i could fix it.
try youtubeplay i use that now to watch youtube vids instead of TCPMP
I have flashed every rom that dutty made. And all of them supported Youtube. I watch a lot.

Hey guys
Title says it all
I was wondering, after all the new drivers that have been released and all the discussions has any1 actually been able to use the Kaiser as a decent video player??
Ive been trying, tweaking Core Player, trying different drivers, different setting when i encode etc etc... But i cant get the video to play smoothly! I still get "tearing" between scenes... Its just not a pleasure to watch
Anyone else had more luck of late??
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357330
So i guess then the short answer is... No??
I see that Core Player has its own codec or whatever it is, meant specially for the Qualcomm CPU, to try and get adequate video performance out of it... But for some reason when i use "video output QTV" i just get a purple block on the screen and audio!!!
Of the remaining options, Directdraw, raw framebuffer and GDI, does any1 know what the pros and cons are? Do any seem to work better than the rest??
Will try the MP4 tip tonight and see if it helps!
I can play YouTube stuff just fine on my Tilt with the newest TCPMP. Haven't tried other stuff yet.

I use coreplayer version 1.2.2 and QTV display driver delivers up to 70% better performance than TCPMP. Try to find a solution to your problem on coreplayer forum.
Where did you get the 70% number from?
Im not sure if this helps...but
I converted a few movies that I had downloaded a while back thru windows media player...I think Pulp Fiction or something. It played just fine. Great video, great audio, good synchronization. Really impressive. All this on AT&T Tilt.
Keep working on it or flash a ROM since most have the support u need to watch the video. Honestly, u would probably benefit from reading the forums for about flashing a ROM than to mess with new codecs and other drivers.
Have u tried downloading TCPMP and core player. Install both. Then open TCPMP in background. Now open ur windows media player and try to play a video.
Now if u can stream videos from ninjavideo.net ur doing better than I
Cheers

It seems that they have an option to enable "TyTN II driver mode" but they dont actually support the processor in the TyTN II...Odd!!
Apparently version 1.2.5 has a fix for the black screen in QTV mode (on WM 6.1 ROMs) does any1 have 1.2.5 to verify this??
That's right, they've fixed it.

There's a benchmark option in coreplayer. Play an avi file first on QTV driver and then on Rawframe buffer you'll see the difference. Than if you're still not convinced you can play the same file in TCPMP on rawframebuffer and compare the results.
Youtube w/ the new manilla 2d works flawlessly for me, as does any .flv i just plop on the phone (without re-encoding). Streaming mobitv is a bit laggy. But other then that my video runs great. For awhile quicksilverscreen was working str8 off the website too. (seems to not be working atm however).
I installed no new video drivers or anything just manilla2d. .flv has always worked since i installed the tmpg stuff.
Yes I Can!!!!
Just installed Core Player 1.25 and it works PERFECTLY!!!!
QTV works in the new ROMs in V1.25 and it plays my videos perfectly! Benchmarking, my frame rates arent much different to the RAW buffer, but the videos visually play better, there is no tearing as scenes change, they look great....
V1.25 does the trick!!!

here is what i think of from the top of my head...qtv is one of the options in the video driver selection in Coreplayer...Coreplayer is the paid version of tcpmp...From my experience, it really smoothens out the transition of scenes in this mode, but it also depends on how the video is encoded I think, coz' the movies I had encoded much earlier which i used with my treo 650 were still choppy even with the qtv display....But my recent acquisition, Ironman, it plays quite flawlessly...
v 1.25 refers to the latest version of Coreplayer, which fixes most of the bugs of earlier version...You can scope it out at corecodec.com, but sadly there is no trial version for it though so if you really want to watch and play videos on your tilt, it might be worth it for you...
As to the youtube videos, you can either:
Buy and use Coreplayer
Download the Youtube player extracted from the opal
Use the recomp version of tcpmp, the orginal won't work on the 6.1 so look for the recomp
Or if you wanna show off a bit on the bus or something, download opera 9.5 and flashlite 3.1, The flash vid will play as a part of the web page....
Is there any way at all to do a fix for either the youtube client or the X1's display drivers such that it display the Youtube vid correctly?
I am using Wild Child's latest rom and for some strange reason when I play the tube file the first time in landscape mode a white line is in the button of the screen and in the left hand side of the screen, but then I play the same file the second time those stripes are gone?
This happen with every second youtube file
Is it a hardware or software issue??
As far as I can tell this has been there in all of the youtube applications with various drivers, the new manila rom doesnt use r3 drivers...and its still there...
WC
to be honest, i don't consider this a bug at all. so there's a thin white line - so what? what bug's me more is the fact that the videos still have to be fully buffered before playing or you'll have video-lag. (happens via 3g and wlan with every rom i've tried so far, not via activesync)
if i remember correctly this had to something with drivers too, but i didn't follow the corresponding threads lately. any news on that?

It did not happen with R1A, only with subsequent R2/R3 ROMS and I'm assuming custom ROMs based off of it.
I also really wish someone with the expertise would step up and help us out with this one.
The reason why it is buffered is to somewhat avoid the lag in video, this was dne on purpose...I mean even on your computer when accessing some sites to view video's through say windows media player it will buffer the video... As I stated in my earlier post...I have tried various drivers and that software bug is still there.......
WC
you ever noticed, how video-playback is lagging, but audio is normal while buffering? that's what i meant. hit "pause" and let it load the full video first, everything will be normal.
so no, that's not like on the computer...

I may be wrong but if you try on an old computer with a 528MHz processor and the same ram size, I think it will be laggy too...

depends on what OS this pc has to run... and yes, an old pentium-m underclocked to 600 mhz plays them fine.
anyhow, look above: it didn't happen with the first firmware. it doesn't happen if it's connected via active sync. it obviously doesn't happen on other phones (the iphone has an even slower cpu), etc etc...
but that wasn't the point.
so, no news in that direction.

I am not a software engineer or a programmer, but to me its like the client is made to talk to a set of display drivers which aren't 100% compatible with the X1s displaydrivers. Thereby causing it not display fullscreen video in youtube client correctly always?
if the youtube client had ben open source would it have possible to take the base code apart and fix the problem?
just for fun i've installed the official cab from youtube - no white stripes, but lagging as well while buffering...

Reverting to the R1A ROM fixes all issues with youtube constantly buffering and not playing back HQ video smoothly, it does not fix the issue with the white line. Sorry for the confusion.
I think the buffering issue and not playing back HQ videos smoothly is a much bigger issue than the white line.

never noticed this before:
lag while buffering obviously depends on the video being played. there's non of it while playing a cartoon (try "southpark"). play anything else - lag until fully buffered. so either the initial drivers had some sort of hw-acceleration (don't believe that) or the newer ones are less efficient and therefore need more cpu-ressources?
the "pc vs.mac" videos are playing almost smooth, only minor hickups there -> white background without details.
@yyyyy:
are these fixes of your's uninstallable? i'm on itje's v10.2 and it's running perfectly, i don't want to risk a hardreset right now...
