I'm trying out TCPMP but when I play a file it is VERY jerky. Seems to only play one frame in about 60!
Bump!
I am having the same problem, but, when I go to benchmark, my results are 99% and the video runs perfectly, the problem is when I actually play it (not benchmark playing), the playback is terrible and very very jerky. I am using the tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab with all the plug-ins, doesn't anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

Hey, I've recently converted some DVD's to MP4's for use on my GF's iPod video, and they work great there. I figured I'd try to use them on my phone, of course, and had to find a media player to do it (Platform 4 Player), but for some reason the video is choppy as hell. These same files play perfectly on an ipod. I used CloneDVD Mobile to do the ripping (and DVD43 to break the encryption, which clearly worked out as evidenced by the ipod playing them just fine), so I'm at a loss for what's the problem. These are at 320x240, AAC audio.
Help!
Thanks!

Not sure if it will work, but you might try TCPMP, which you can find at tcpmp.corecodec.org. (If that link doesn't work, just google it. I was having problems with the link when I wrote this).
Yeah, I tried TCPMP and it wouldn't play back the video *at all* for some reason. I got audio thanks to the AAC plugin, but still, no video. It's strange because the same damn episodes and movies recompressed to WMV play just fine, but of course, those won't work on the iPod.

That's what I have right now. It *works*, and I get video at least, but it's so choppy that it looks like a slideshow.
Anyone ever use MP4's on an 8125 successfully I wonder?
Thanks for the help so far guys, I do appreciate it.

I had the import copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as an MP4 on my Wizard a while back and actually found that overclocking helped with playback.
At the stock 195Mhz, the phone would have some problems with choppy playback or even some spurts of clean playback and then a hesitation. When overclocked to 260Mhz, the playback became as smooth as silk.
Are you dropping in the MP4's straight in or are you converting them with a program like Pocket DivX converter? Conversion will usually help out with choppy playback as well, provided that the scaling and details optimize playback and etc.

Well, I'm using the Jodix Free iPod converter for files that are just AVI's and whatnot, but for DVD rips I'm using CloneDVD mobile. I'm running both with a bitrate of around 450Kb for video and I *think* 128Kb for audio, if I recall. Both seem to want to do audio only in AAC, though, but I'm not sure if that's related. I have my Wizard at 252Mhz right now with the same cruddy results. I may have to try a lower bitrate, I suppose
Podcasts....
I have tried mightly to get the iPod version of the GeekBrief podcast(and others) to work on my Wizard. However, all attempts have met with the same results as you are seeing. I am now firmly of the opinion that the Wizard cannot match the iPod's specialize hardware, and that using autosettings in conversion programs will always yield these results.
Conclusion: Find settings that work on your Wizard (the common denominator) and use those to encode for both devices.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. With any luck I can find settings that both work on the Wizard *and* don't look like complete ass on the iPod . I'll report my figurings back here on the off chance anyone else is crazy enough to try such a ridiculous stunt in the future, LOL.

Hi,
I recently got an HTC Wizard and I like the PDA Phone very much. However I am having problems with video playback. None of the video files I have play very well on the Wizard. I get very jumpy video and choppy sound. I have tried playing WMV and Divix files and they will not play on either TCPMP WM Player. I tried closing all running programs but the videos still do not play well. I thought it might be a slow SD card but the videos play perfectly on my Dell Axim X50V. Is there a better Media player I could try? Or maybe updated codecs?
Thanks

ER, simple tip:
Try resampling the videos to 240x320. Resizing the videos(any one of them, shrinking) takes a lot of oomph, which the Wizard does not have.
Tip:
1.Use PocketDivXEncoder. Simple tool. You can't mess up with this.
2.Overclock to ~240MHz
3. The Dell has a FASTER processor, so there might be some hiccups on the Wizard.
Anyone else try the little youtube button in coreplayer? Any video I open says "Unknown file format." Why do they have a youtube player if it cannot play youtube videos?
I'm still looking for the best way to watch youtube videos.
Thanks!
But it can play youtube videos, at least on my phone.
Are you playing them through coreplayer itself? When I browse youtube through opera it opens the videos through the streaming video player, but not coreplayer.
I believe that some of the YouTube formats have stopped working in CorePlayer as YouTube have played about at their end.
Had heard that a fix had be built for UIQ, but haven't got around to looking to see if a new version is out for WinMo

Yes. I haven't watched that many videos (it's not a regular thing for me) but the few I've watched were all played by the coreplayer itself.
OT:
I do have some problems with podcasts. does anybody know of any good podcast client for WM.
Thanks, well I just bought it recently so will have to wait for an update I guess. Also, does anyone else experience freezes in coreplay when changing videos? It doesn't happen everytime for me, but sometimes it freezes and I have to do a reset.
hai- i have installed the coreplayer 1.32. everything is fine ^^
everthing? not even everything.- I tried to play WMV9 and there is no sound and blank screen. movie is playing... ???

Same lag and stutters overhere. Any solutions out there allready?
Default mediaplayer suddenly stopped working on my TP2, though the quality was way better then the core player's. Too bad it doesn't work no more.
can anyone help with this after paying for core player it wont play anything with out stuttering along
everything used to lag for me in coreplayer, including videos but if i switch the audio settings to higher priority for mp3 files they play without a hitch. now if only i can find out how to do the same for videos
Add me to the list of VERY unsatisfied results with Coreplayer on the TP2... it absolutely SUCKS. BIG TIME. Laggy and crappy... how is a man suppose to watch all those great videos stuttering!
I had the same issue (laggy, ...) a couple of months ago. I sent an email to CorePlayer support and got this answer back :
"Hello,
This is a known issue and we are working with several people on trying to track it down and are hopeful to have it included with the next release. I can offer you a full refund if you would like.
Regards,
CoreCodec Support Group"
They expect to release the new version by the end of this month.
Just have to wait...
Hope it helps.
Are you using DirectShow? If not, try it.
Great on TP2
Coreplayer is running great on my TP2. Watched 2 movies today and the video looked great and frames were solid. Honestly its the best thing i did for my TP2 yet. I dont believe it will handle 800x480 but a little bit lower resolution should still be fine and the video scales very well. Check this review on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONMuEeTo7A&feature=related
Watch near the end when he shows how Coreplayer runs.
REFUND!!!
So I just sent my refund request for Coreplayer. It has a bug with Tv-Out causing it to show a blue flicker. Also it has no real hardware support yet. The best thing I found was the Touch HD gui encoder program. It puts your videos into formats the built in players can use and those do have hardware support. So while coreplayer is a great app its not for the TP2.
Disable DirectDraw in TCPMP. Use GDI mode.
I am not sure if the following has any effect when DirectDraw is disabled, but this is the way I have it:
Select Options\Settings, then click on "Select page" and select DirectDraw.
You will see three options. Only select the one that says "use blitting instead of overlay"
This worked for me...
Hello guys. I installed core player and I am trying to watch a video but, I don't know why, the playing is very very slow, with the software displaying many times the icon of "waiting status"... unwatchable!
If I try with in-built windows media player the same file is good and smooth...
the file is in .mp4
I also try divx player, but the GUI is very small and the buttons too small...not good for me.
any ideas?
Thanks a lot to everybody in advance.
More information please - what version of Coreplayer, what settings?
if wmp is playing smooth then why would u need coreplayer! if u wanna watch flash from browser....get skyfire.
sorry for few info, but i was in a hurry.
Core player 1.3.6
I have installed also the driver patch 1.1 by chainfaire (if it is related...)
My rom as in signature.
Go to Menu>Tools>Settings>Select Page>Video and then change the Video output to GDI. That should fix your performance issues.
THANKS
thank you jakem.
Now works perfectly. There are a lot of settings and I don't know exactly what they are. Unfortunateky I haven't found yet a manual on the net
But anyway, great software. I managed also to rotate landscape with BsB the software. Did I do it right or there was a solution inside coreplayer? (because sometimes it gets slow with few framerates)
There is setting for rotation. It's in the main menu .. take some time experimenting.
Actually I found that raw frame buffer video mode is a just few percent faster, but I may just imagine things.
I'm having the same problem. Videos stutter until they are unwatchable.
I opened the same video in WMP and it runs without any lag.
I selected GDI in Core Player and still the same performance continues.
I have the ChainFire driver installed, would that be related?
This happened to me yesterday.
And ironically, the benchmark was ok! only the playback was horrible. Couldn't find out what caused it. I removed Chainfire's patch but that didn't help. Had to hard reset at last.
And by the way, I tried all 3 video output modes, no avail...
Coreplayer 1.3.6
