DVD playback on TyTN II

I have used the method published by mrvanx on his site with great success.
In fact I used this with Coreplayer 1.1.1 on my original TyTN, and the video and sound were great.
I am getting the same results on my TyTN II.
I have just done the upgrade to Coreplayer 1.1.3 and will run my stored files with it.
The only problem is that the ripping and conversion takes forever, but the results are worth it.

I hope this helps those new to their TyTN II,s

Thanks mate will give it a try!
MM

thanks for the tips. giving it a go now.
however... the stable autogk version i got is from '95! Is that version ok or should install a more recent beta version?

I use DVDx to rip DVD's into avi's directly.
It's also free and unfortunatly it too takes a lot of time to finish.
At first it is a bit searching for the best settings, but once that's done, they are stored and reapplied when you open the application in the future.
There are other freeware applications to rip DVD's, but most of them can't seem to rip it as a whole (the different .vob files on the DVD can't be ripped into 1 movie file).

DVD Playback also covered in this thread, also full of post's with other ideas.

Can you share what settings you have used? I've tried several, and it never completely finishes making the conversion. It thinks it is finished about half way trhough. No errors, just not a complete video.
BTW...I am trying to create one from a set of VOB files on my drive, if that makes any difference.
I'm in fact trying another program right now to see how it works. It says it's going to take a littel over 3 hours. The DVDx said it was going to take quite longer.

Video taken is blank

After flashing the ROM (L26 WM 6.1 Professional WWE V6a with
R 1.58.26.20) everything works fine, but videos taken with the camera show only as a green screen. The sound is there, just the picture is missing. When I transfer the .MP4 file to the PC and play it - the result is the same. The PC has the K-Lite codeck pack, so it is not a codec issue.
I searched this forum and couldn't find anything about this problem. Any ideas?

You gotta take the lens cap off!
Ha ha! couldn't resist.
I've had a similar problem with taking pictures a few times and never figured out what it was. It was in a high light situation, with the resolution set to highest and superfine and the pictures taken were just solid black, while pictures taken immediately in a different lighting situation were fine. I dropped the resolution down a notch and it worked fine.
Weird.

Actually it's been a fairly recent discovery I think. Probably related to the release of the new CPUs (MSM7201) that are suppose to circumvent some patent infringement or something. Anyway, you can follow the progress of this issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387057
and if you want, you can test out the Hyperdragon ROM, but then updating it with the original file posted in that thread. (I'm too lazy to do this and I already have my rom set up the way I want it haha).
Hyperdragon ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386519
Then load the original CIF dll (CIF_314.zip) from page 5 of the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387057
And post your results there to let us know if this fixed the camera Thanks

Yes, you were right. It was the new CPU on my Tilt. The funny thing is I tried several ROMS and all of them were recognizing it as 7200. I finally installed the NoThrills ROM and it recognized it as QUALCOMM(R) 7201 and the camera started taking videos. This ROM also runs everytning faster... at least until I started installing things.

Youtube working with HTC streaming media

Hi all,
This is my first post but I hope it will help. Also, beeing french, it might be crawling with mistakes.
I've been looking around for a way to have youtube working on my Kaiser. Here is what I wanted :
- possibility to launch youtube videos from the m.youtube.com site
- possibility to watch TV (from the SFR portal page)
- using HTC streaming media to play the videos
Here is what I did not want :
- using youtubeplay (which is a great app but I like to be able to search or to play specific videos)
- using the TCPMP plugin (for no specific reason except the I was deadlocked on using HTC streaming media)
My config is :
- HTC Kaiser
- ROM : ROMeOS v4.1 with some tweaks for french (keyboard mainly)
- SFR Illymithics (France)
After several unsuccesfull atempts (despite searching the forum), I finally found a solution.
First, I installed the HTC diamond streaming player found in this forum (thx P1Tater for posting it). Appart form updating the app to a newer version, I did not change the fact that I couldn't play videos. The error message was always the same : "error connecting".
Second, I added the following REG key :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StreamingDShow]
"OpenOriginalUDPPorts"=dword:00000001
Videos are now working perfectly.
For the record, I did not find the solution. A friend of mine had the same problem with his Diamond. He found a cab version of HTC streaming media which seemed to work. I tried it on my Kaiser and except for the VGA interface, videos did work perfectly. I then compared this app with the one listed above and I found 2 differences :
- the above reg key
- a newer version of Emz3GPStreamingFilter.dll
The new DLL did not seem to improve anything so I just droped it.
Since the Diamond working cab was sent to me by email, I don't want to post it here 'cause I do not know where it's from. It's called Tom's HTC diamond streaming media (or something similar) if you wish to look for it.
Well I hope this help.

Thanks for your feedback but.... the m.youtube.com already works fine with the french shipped rom, isn't it ?

I don't know about the French shipped Rom. If you mean the WM6.1 FRA found here, it did not work for me. I did not try going back to the the SFR ROM which is still in WM6. i tried several other Roms (French or others) found here but had the same issue. What's your Rom based on ? Any preferences on the existing roms ?

Thanks for your post. I am facing the same problem ...
the registry key that you mention, how did you find it?

Nice, I'm going to have to try this out. I keep getting the "connecting" issue.

for your first post this is good work and another way of getting youtube to work for people.
-youtube player works great
-skyfire as well
add your tweak to the list (although I haven't tested it yet I acknowledge you and your friends discovery)

Well, as I explained, after trying several version of the streaming media app, I finally stumbled upon one that actually worked. Since it wes for VGA, I had to find what difference there was to other streaming media app.
I do not know what this reg key means or even does. I just point out that whithout it I could not get youtube video working.
-youtube player works great
-skyfire as well

Well, I know youtube player works. However, you can only see predefined feeds (or maybe you have another version of the player)
I do not know about Skyfire but it says you have to be in the US to get it so I ll have to wait for the first official release.

Thanx alot!!

Maybe the solution
I had that problem to.
it wasn't even possible to connect with messenger .
what i did was..!!
I have disabled the proxy using of my g/3g/HSDPA connection and it works fine with streaming media on my tytn2 kaiser..!

I screwed htc media...
I think I screwed htc streaming media.
I have an XDA Orbit II with htc streaming media 2.2 (built 1026.711) pre-installed. I could open Youtube videos from Explorer with no problems.
I installed flash player 2.1, real-player and TCMP as I was playing with Opera 9.5 (as many of you…)
The result is that htc streaming media (using Explorer) is not associated with youtube videos anymore. I have removed all other players form the ppc but it still doesn’t work. Every time I click on a video I just see the opening bar for 1sec and that’s it.
I tried to re-install htc media I found in the post but It doesn’t work (installation unsuccessful).
Does anybody know how to configure the htc again?
I went in the reg but I don’t know the keys to change.
Please help

I'm very thanks for you

WM6.5 and 6.1 ROM Video Comparison

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

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..

Any guides to create custom boot animations?

For the love of God I cannot find a for Dummies guide!
I want to convert a GIF file into an animation and I am not even sure what programs I need to begin with.
Thanks for any help.

I'll write something up tonight.

you need to extract the frames out of the gif file into multiple .png files.
I use something call Gif Frame Extractor. Search for it on google cause i cant post links. w w w [dot] evanolds [dot] c o m
After you extract the gif files its just a matter of resizing and tweaking your image set.
for the captivates your resolution should be 480 pixles wide by 800 pixles high.
name the series of images Image001.png Image002.png Image003.png etc.. I'm not sure what the max allowed images are but from my experimentation anything over 100 images tend to throw my phone into a bootloop. (be sure to have a good CWM backup handy when that happens)
I might upload a video tutorial/screencast later tonight as soon as i fix my phone (bootloop while trying to make the tutorial haha).

video guide is up on youtube
I made a quick guide on how to extract, edit and package your very own boot animation. The video came out crappy cause my screen capturing software didn't play well with Adobe Preimere. I'll try and make a better one over the weekend, but this should be sufficient for a quick reference.

Thanks mate!
With that and the steps fritzgerald I should be finally able to learn this

and music is bad while trying to pay attention to something important i find. hit mute in first 10 seconds the restarted video... couldnt think. 1
just a note for next time.
and i will be watching next time!

yeah i know its bad i made it at 3 in the morning didn't have time to review the video before work. Like i said the capture software totally konked out on me and premiere didnt want to sync the video correctly so im going to have to do the entire video over again later this week. BTW can anyone recommend a good screen capturing/casting software that plays well with Priemiere?
