WM6.5 and 6.1 ROM Video Comparison - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Dear all,
Has anyone tried the video playback between the either o/s on any rom. Ive installed a couple of roms running WM6.5 but the video playback using coreplayer was awful. Droping frames and losing audio video sync.
Then I changed to one of the 6.1 Roms on the site and experienced the same playback as that of the stock rom (vodafone UK). The unit played divx/xvid clips smoothly not losing sync or droping frames.
The clip was a divx/xvid tv rip standard that you would get on a torrent site like 352 mb for 45 mins or so. I tried a few clips to find the same issue.
Im guesing this is because the HTC video drivers arent part of any 6.5 rom. Is there anyway to include these or workout why there is such a massive difference.
Thanks

i use drivers from official 6.5 i do not know if this make the deference
plz try if you want and report..
otherwise vodafone had do magic with the graphic drivers

When you say the official drivers do u mean HTC ones for WM6.5 or one that are included with WM6.5 ones?
What type of video did u use to benchmark?

same problems... with official WM 6.1 coreplayer play good,
but with official WM 6.5 and others cooked rom based on WM 6.5 coreplayer performance are very low

Definately noticing a much slower performance on CorePlayer with 6.5 ROM than with the 6.1. Benchmark test dropped from 104% to 72%
Anyone got a fix. Ive just upgraded to the latest coreplayer 1.3.6 and still no improv.

yeah, I confirm that upgrading to a WM6.5 rom did slow down my xvid playback in coreplayer... (under a pro2 from stock Telus ROM 6.1 to MightyROM 6.5)

Also have a look at THIS thread that mention video playback.
Don't know why people don't post a sample video so everybody can test the same movie and post their results... hint hint..

Yes, I See. Your device's OS not Official ROM. Its cooked ROM from Dutty!
DivX Player from www.divx.com (requires registration but is free, pretty fast and quality is ok, the interface is VERY basic though and it only plays MPEG4-based stuff).
CorePlayer from www.coreplayer.com (costs money but works like a charm, with DCS 1.1 ROM and CorePlayer 1.1.3 I can play all XviD movies except HR-stuff without dropped frames or sync problems).
PocketTV from www.pockettv.com (requires registration but "classic" version is free, "enterprise version is 15 bucks but supports more advanced options and acceleration. only works with MPEG/MPEG2 but is really fast and quite a high quality.)
Personally I just use CorePlayer 1.1.3 for now and I will surely upgrade to 1.2 once it arrives.
is it possible to still use the flashvideobundle with coreplayer?

Try to install mine version. Just came back from the GYM and I played music for 3 hours with TCMP.
I'm using Alex's UltraClean WM6.1 Beta2 and I have no problem installing and using TCMP 0.72. Played about 3-4 hours of music on it now, and tested a few videos.
Nope, even that one doesn't work on the official build of 6.1 I have.
"Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit."
Apparantly it works on some of the WM6.1 ROMs and not on others. It doesnt on DCS v1.3, that I can confirm. Irritating to lack proper .flv support (which is really the most important for me personally). CorePlayer, DivX Player and whatnot is totaly irrelevant, because its the youtube streaming abilities that I find most fun. Streaming via StreamingMedia just sucks compared to TCPMP, also it only work over GPRS/EDGE/3G.
CorePlayer 1.1.3 is the best choice for insteading of TCPMP on my device with WM 6.1.
Thanks all!
For Use with youtube
I've found that TCPMP does not work on my particular 6.1 ROM. Try using http://tinytube.net instead of youtube. Unfortunately the interface and selection aren't as robust as youtube, but it pulls streams from multiple sources (google, yahoo, myspace, etc) and has a decent search engine. All streams end up going through the Streaming Media app.

The rom U use , the Dutty 6.1 beta is based on a older build that can use older radio and TCMP works.
The later builds cant use TCMP and must have any of the the newer radio.

i need to get some application like TCPMP, in TCPMP i can turn off screen and still rewind song in pocket do you know something what have that function and run on official HTC wm6.1 rom??
TCPMP is a great player. I have it working in a WM6.1 19701 Build. Sometimes it takes a little finesse to get it working. I've added the correct cabs to this reply.
Make sure you do the following:
Put both files in the same place (either on the storage card or in main memory). I put them both on the storage card.
After you install each cab file, do a soft reset. (Make sure you remove any previous version before adding either cab).
Make sure you are going to the correct URL - www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1
It should work for you. It's the best player out there.
Oh, I almost forgot. I did have to install NET CF3.5 on one of my devices before it worked. I'm not sure if it was coincidence or necessary.
Also make sure that "flash video" is selected in Options/Settings/Select Page/File Associations in TCPMP.
or you can use this recompiled version of tcpmp

@ XtreMe_G: Thanks. That one works fine on the official HTC 6.1

Tcpmp doesnt seem to be working on Xperia

I couldnt get tcpmp to work on the xperia... anyone else with this situation?

Just get the coreplayer. SHell out 25 bucks or 12 quid
same error on my device. (tcpmp 0.81beta)
(i`ve got my german qwertz xperia x1 today.) tcmp suxx.
no stereo speakers, no htd compatibel accelerometer. (no G-sensor htc compatible)
core 1.2.5 works with mp3 + videos on x1.
i`ve tested it already.
but the videos are NOT running smoth like the core player on my htc diamond.
there are a lot of lost frames. we have to wait for a firmware update with updated
drivers.
i hope the HTC XPERIA X1 will got an own forum category on xda-dev`s, with rom developement.
I have the free 0.72RC1 running on my Toshiba G900 that too has 480x800. And this is no problem, running all very smooth. I am waiting for my x1, but I am sure, this TCPMP-version will work as good on the X1.
What one has to do is to try the video settings. On my G900 I use the "GDI" but this is depending on the PPC and can be different on X1.
Even largest .avi are played very smooth.

Sounds more like an issue with Coreplayer rather then the X1 itself. The panels alone use 3d acceleration so the xperia doesnt need any firmware update for drivers. Does Coreplayer pick up the Ati imageon under the Videos tab in preference??
Once it becomes a bit more poplar I'm sure people will post in the CoreCodec forum about tehe issue. I know I will for sure since I bought the app for the Touch Pro and Kaiser.

Sadly, this does not work on my UK X1i. Video frame changes every few seconds and audio is disjointed. I've played around with the settings, to little (if any) effect.

Does anybody have h.264 files playing well on coreplayer or TCPMP?
in fact, i don't really even know what's the difference between the two they have such similar names.
h.264 will open on TCPMP (I installed the h.264 codec), and it shows the first frame, but otherwise video may move one frame the entire clip and audio may play half a second of audio. I tried boosting the buffer settings (what are the optimal settings?) and the video format (no idea which one is for what.
Coreplayer will open it and tell me it doesn't support h.264 when the webpage says it does!! It will play the audio perfectly, but no video at all.
Very confusing.
well, h.264 needs lots of cpu performance.
in fact i've got problem to play h264 videos on my "old " P4 2,3ghz laptop...
so i dont know if its possible to run it on the X1
good!

How well does XPERIA run on 6.5?

i was just wondering XPERIA is running the latest beta of windows mobile 6.5.
Is the program scrolling really smooth like the iphone or the toshiba 1ghz phone?
because i seen in some videos its a little laggy and well not all that smooth.
i'd install it my self but i dont have the time, or any idea of how to do it.
And feedback would be greatly appreciated! A Video of 6.5 would be fab!
i cant give you a video of me scrolling through the menus on 6.5 but i have to say its very fast. Faster than any Manila Rom. Titanium works here and browsing windows directory is no problem
thanks,
so a noob question here,
if i flash to wm6.5 what happends when the seus releases R3A?
will this flash over 6.5 or will it stay?
also do you recomend wm6.5?
cheers

ah sweet - good to know that because i've seen some 6.5 videos and the scrolling doesnt look very smooth at all
6.5 quite slow for me.. they improved the visual enchantments on the user interface, but then sacrified the speed..
I have found that WM6.5 is very fast on my X1. I like it so much that i've taken to using it as my main OS over 6.1.
I love Titanium, and I especially love the new kinetic scrolling feature. It's so much smoother and easier to use than the clunky one which HTC made. I do appreciate that the HTC model was made to snap into the existing lists, so it had the flaws of the windows lists to contend with, which is why the Microsoft implementation is so much better.
Long story short...
WM6.5 runs very well on my x1
yeah poeple, let me know, what happens, if you flash the new windows mobile 6.5 , you can make a backup of your existing rom with all programs, contacts etc ??? is that possible ?
and if yes, some link to any tutorial ?
would be great !
quite smooth now. im happy with it .
not as smooth as iphone

do you think it will be smoother when it is finally released??
Okay..where to get WM 6.5 Beta?
i wanna try it on X1 too.
it runs great on Touch HD ..i saw on youtube
It will be smooth when it's out of beta and the cooks here at xda have a go at it. I hate all stock ms roms. Without the cooker here,any stock ms rom is junk, 5.0, 6.1,6.5 all crap.
The 6.5 beta that I tested run very slowly so I had to change back to a cooked 6.1 rom.
On the other hand a friend of mine who has a Touch Pro said it ran really well on his device and he kept it...
Dunno what to say...Ill wait for the official release...
Whens it officially released..will we have a chance to run it on Xperia for free?
i'm using 6.5 for a while now and i love it.
i don't know how come people saying its laggy by me it works great now the first 6.5 rom of itje was slow but with the new build its great.
everybody is speaking about speed but what about battery? with 6.1 the phone holds up to one day by me but with 6.5 its almost 2 days the battery consumption is very improved.
the scrolling is much easyier to use with youre fingers. for example when i'm browsing the net i have to select something from a drop down menu with wm6.1 its a nightmare, wright? and have to use the stylus. but in wm6.5 i can easy scroll with my finger no need for the stylus anymore.
that where my toughts and experiences
i tried some ROM with WM6.5 and the video playing is too slow for me (i mean it is a fast slideshow not a video playback), but every other function was fast.
so i use a WM6.1 ROM because i need a good speed in video. A.

do you mean watching movie? i use coreplayer for watching movies and its very fast it isnt laggy, i even watch movies in .avi without any problem.
try http://www.coreplayer.com/
i like divx mobile player. fits the x1 screen perfectly and have watched several movies in it already.
just trying to share.
well as long as the scrolling is smooth and not laggy at all
The chefs and the beta has come a long way in the last three months.
Winmo 6.5 runs very well on Xperia.
I'm running Agent 47 Valkyrie 2.6 leo and the ROM is bug free and state of the art.

Wrong ROM? Bad Drivers? CorePlayer lagging?

Hi all,
I believe this issue is ROM related that is why I am starting the thread here.
Issue:
CorePlayer starts lagging, dropping frames and is getting the audio out of sync on all Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs which I have tried, including NRGZ28's 6.5 and 6.5.1 ROMS as we all now his ROMs are one of the best.
Currently I am running stock Windows Mobile 6.5 5.2.21854 (Build 21854.5.0.80) same issue - however if I turn off the TouchFlo 3d (Manila 2.1) all works fine.
Tried using cleanRAM - no good.
Any advice or help on this will be highly appreciated and I believe not only for me
Regards to all.

I never wanted to run a cooked rom before the official 6.5 upgrade came because on WM6.1 my Rhodium played normal 700MB Divx files quite good, while a friend that had been running every unofficial 6.5 rom had very poor playback/ image tearing, and the images looked very rasterized when filling the whole screen even though the same video on my phone running official HTC 6.1 rom looked very good.
He tried installing all of the drivers available like ati, neo driver pack, exc, but nothing worked. I figured that it was probably due to the cooked roms.
So after the official 6.5 upgrade came out I switched and ever since my video playback is bad, the images tear, and look really rasterized.
I now think that the poor video playback is either:
A.) some software/ drivers that were in the official 6.1 rom but are not in the 6.5 rom
or
B.) something in coreplayer is not working with windows phone 6.5 causing it to run very badly on 6.5.
look in the Rhodium Software section, not rom section. there are tips for coreplayer playback
I traced the problem back to Touchflo3d after trying different things. When I turn off touchflo3d it works without lagging etc. It's a work around I always use whan I want to playback a movie in Coreplayer.
I new there would be others having the same issues. it is not the core player - I tried all suggestions, switchin qtv to gdi, larger buffer size - no good. it must be the 6.5 and what drivers it comes with. that is why I am writing here as the cooks now what they put in their drivers and might now what can fix this. what I assume is the ne manila 2.1 eating too much resources, because when switched off - core player works like e charm.
It is a workaround but everybody knows its a pain in the a** to turn off touchflo3d to play a movie and then switch it back on after that.
So, dear Cooks, enlight us with your knowledge, please
Regards to all
this only thing made me hate myself for trusting htc again (1st, p3300 with poor hardware for full price)
I have the same problem and Im on the 6.5 roms. Coreplayer does not play anything smooth at all. I was forced to encode my music videos and watch them in WMP but is there a solution to coreplayer yet?
I tried playing around with all the settings (GDI , DirectDraw, QTV,) tried everything on the 6.5 roms and its a no go.
I even tried to flash back to a 6.1 rom but phone hung on boot screen so I had to force bootloader and go back to 6.5 rom. hmmm...
By observation,
when you occupy memory higher than 50%, Core player tends to Lag and look funny, that's why when you disable touchflo3D (takes about 7-8% on memory), video's can play normal and look normal. When I had the default stock rom , i managed to disable many things thru the registry and brought the 44% down to 26% which allowed me to leave touchflo3D on and use core player with any issues. but now that im in wm6.5 currently having issues trying to disable stuff to bring down memory.
Long story short - Maintain your memory about 46% or less and core player will play and look perfectly.

Im still not sure what the problem is. I managed to go back to TMobile stock rom and disabled touchflow 3d on wm6.1 still cant get any video to play smooth.
The videos im testing are mp4 with 800kbit bitrate at native resoulution also at 25fps and still choppy.
You know this should go into the General section but as to an answer I read that Coreplayer does have a driver issue with WM6.5 and they have to update their software. But to get good playing videos why not just use the WM6.5 stock video player. You can use it by selecting a video through albums. It plays everything just fine. I have a Blu-Ray rip Transformers 2 movie that is 1.48gb and it plays perfectly

Do you happen to know the video bitrate of the blu-ray rip? Im curious of the highest video bitrate possible on the touchpro2 with smooth playback.

It is a video driver issue in this case. Same amount of memory with or without TF3D - lag occurs with TF3D and no lag without. It is only confined to the TP2 and WM6.5 because the Pure doesn't experience any lag with TF3D.
I noticed it with the ATT stock rom and the newer Manilla 2.5 based roms. It must be some conflict with the video drivers. Manilla is winning the conflict.
i have core player and i never experienced a lag even with tf3d on

i play everything with the default album. it allows hardware acceleration and handles mp4 and h.264 perfectly. someone in the blackstone forum even made a wvga converter that works perfectly.

And more importantly what video setting do you have and what sort of videos are you playing? The issue involves QTv and I am sure anything higher than 320x240 with decent bit rates. As I mentioned before QTv appears to be the issue.
I remember reading some stuff from Betaboy (I think that is his name) on the video driver issues with the Qualcomm devices and TF3D is the only program to take full advantage of the video chip. At some point something broke with the TP2, WM6.5 and TF3D.

I remember reading some stuff from Betaboy (I think that is his name) on the video driver issues with the Qualcomm devices and TF3D is the only program to take full advantage of the video chip. At some point something broke with the TP2, WM6.5 and TF3D.

i thought i had a a bigger size but i didn't.
same problem
I am having the same problem with all ROMs
in 6.1, no problems playing, anything higher on ANY ROM and it starts to lag.
I personally can't use the built in player as I play divx and mp4 files, and windows media player does not seem to like those.
I have Core Player 1.3.2

I am running Core Player 1.3.6 - same problem, I was on 1.3.5 with ROMs 6.1 and it was happy, now ... I have to turn off TF3D.
And people, understand that we want to play DIVX and XVID files (AVIs) downloaded directly, I am sick converting files and thinking which will be the best resolution, bit rate, etc ....
I hope you understand.
The Dutch stock 6.1 rom has absolutely no problems with coreplayer. Stock 6.5 gives me sometimes smooth playback, sometimes not. I watch divx/xvid with SD resolutions.

Any news on a fix for our video playback problems?

hey people ive spent weeks trying to play a smooth video on my x1 so far everything i done had failed whether it was wmp or tcpmp or even coreplayer,read almost every post tried almost every converter and pretty still stuck seems as if my old tytn plays videos smoother so i can only hope coreplayer releases a new version soon! if anyone knows anything please post thanks

What ROM do you use?
I am able to play the Bond trailer (.mp4) without problems, with WMP and TCPMP.

im using the pheonix rom build 56502 WWE. is this tcpmp any better than the latest coreplayer? because so far coreplayer played videos better than wmp and tcpmp although it was still laggy maybe it's my drivers but im using the omina driver and get a better benchmark than the rest with sktools 792 to be exact
i've been using the video encoder provided in the sticky and it has by far surpassed all other video encoders that i've used. it takes advantage of the hardware acceleration in the X1 but the only video app that uses it is WMP and the Media Panel.

I don't know bout you but using that encoder takes 6 to 7 hours and sometimes it freezes, I don't have the time and patience for that. @ Zeyn Karim I have a collection of video drivers that might maybe improve your performance. Not 100% sure it will but I guess it won't hurt to try.
tried and failed with that converter lol even waited a whole night to encode only to be dissapointed the next morning.
anyway thanks guys for the support and drivers will run couple tests and let ya know the results hopefully this will solve my problem not sure why but my media player doesn't seem to run as good as everyone claims it does, i should remove the omina driver lets hope that's the problem
tried every driver and no luck! looks like i'll never be able to watch anything on my xperia! so i give up! stupid coreplayer! what's taking them so long! been reading up and looks like they rather work on the stupid UI instead of focus on HW support! i don't care if coreplayer looks crap! only thing i want is a smooth crisp video is that too much to ask! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Yeah I'm kinda disappointed as well. I was watching a lot of videos on my old wm 5.0 smartphone but the Xperia fails. I activated "Raw FrameBuffer" and videos got smoother - still don't think thats what you are looking for...(only tried out fairly low quality movies...)

This version of TCMP I get video playback in GDI mode very smooth I watched Shutter Island on it with no lag.
Yeah,my old tytn may not have been the best phone in the world but atleast i could watch some of my favourite shows whenever i felt like.
thanks viper89 will test out the tcpmp,glad to see youve been watching something on your x1,can you please state which encoder you used and are you also using the omina driver?

I actually didn't encode the video, I don't watch movies that much so I really don't bother with encoding and the one that is stickied takes ages to encode . The video drivers that are installed in my phone are:Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver-Patch-2.0( not sure if this has any effect in are phones),Chainfire-TG01-D3DM( not sure if this any effect either lol),Driver_Ati d3d, SJ SamsungOmnia_Driver_D3D and optxperiabeta02( It makes the sound in the X1 louder but it also said that it changes the video driver to.)
Wow you installed all of them! what's your benchmark with sktools? and does the "optxperiabeta02" damage your speaker in any way? if not could you please post it thanks,Is it a noticable difference?

My Sktool benchmark is: Integer 331, Floating Point 7.71, Draw Bitmaps 656. Also a important fact is it also depends on your rom Stock or none Stock and if it's 6.1 or 6.5 and if your running Sense 2.5 in your rom(which I am), so my stats most likely would be higher in a stock 6.1 rom. I've had my phone for 8 month and been using optxperiabeta02 for 7 month and no speaker damage. And it makes a hell of a noticeable difference lol.
my benchmark is integer 331, floating point 7.47 ,ram access 1519 , draw bitmaps 800 , main write 11070 ,main read 17066 still have no idea why im having video problems.by the way im running 6.1 with manilla 2.5 sense

Hmm draw bitmaps 800 nice. It might because your on 6.1 oppose to my 6.5. Your still having videos problems playing videos in GDI mode in TCMP?

showthread.php?t=684106 havnt got a chance to test yet but will try as soon as i get time did you try kinoma play? im interested to find out hows the playback. damn coreplayer if only they would support our HW id would be so awesome!
Guys there is really a simple answer to this thread: There is only one solution for decent video playback on Xperia X1. Convert your movies to mp4 (h264 avc codec, max. resolution 800 * 480, bitrate 600 kbps) and play them in WMP or Media Xperience Panel (I prefer the latter). You can either use the converter provided by xda (projection) or any other software that supports this codec. There might be some differences in duration of a convertion and it is definitely dependant on your computer's specs (processor) but generally converting videos is a time consuming task and 6 - 7 hours isn't really inappropriate for entire movies (2-3 hours). Everything else won't work. Coreplayer, Pocketplayer, Kinoma etc. do not support hw acceleration and thus 480 * 320 is the maximum resolution that can be played back using those players. If you want high quality movies (what is definitely possible on the Xperia X1) you will have to face convertion to the right format. There aren't any drivers that do miracles and there aren't any insider tips. Only convertion will do the trick.
thank you altae for those bad/good news
Maybe I'm missing something. I've never had any problems playing videos or movies on my X1. Just rewatched Princess Blade on it the other day, in fact.
The truth can sometimes be hard But let's stay serious: It's a pity that WMP or Media Xperience Panel do not support more codecs especially the very widely used xvid/dvix codecs.
But the positive news are: It's definitely possible to play high quality movies as long as they are in the right format. And for all the short videos you would like to show a friend you have always the possibility to play divx/xvid movies in 480 * 320 which isn't that bad for this purpose.
