ive been having troubles with videos (*.avi, *.mp4 etc)) stuttering very badly while using TCPMP , but MP4 files work fine with windows media player, but i would much rather use TCPMP for playing movies.
i contacted htc and they werent any help.
any ideas on how to fix it?
From within TCPMP, check Options>Video and make sure Raw FrameBuffer is checked.

I've tried this config in tcpmp 0.71 and many others configs without succeed.
I use pocket divx ( www.divx.com) with Pocket DivXEncoder on the pc and works great!!
Im guessing you are running an early ROM?!?
Can you post your ROM version and date for us??
to find your rom version:
start
settings
system(tab)
device information
hi im running ROM version 1.18.255.3 with a date of 7/22/06
i tried checking Raw FrameBuffer but it made the picture go very...erratic, i would have to soft reset the phone just to be able to use it.
as for pocket divx, i personally dont like that program, and having to re-encode everything to divx would be a pain.

Dear guys,
I have a little question ..
Each time i look to files on my jasjar and when i put it on full screen, it stills stays quite little..
Is there a way to get a movie on real full screen ???
Thanks !
Use TCPMP for Windows Mobile, its a freeware from here http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=224#r224
Sadly TCPMP doesn't support streaming video, which I use WMP for a lot, but cannot play full screen. I do use tcpmp for playing files of my SD card and it works VERY well.
Is there any way to get streaming working with TCPMP? Failing that is there a different player that will do the job?
OK - Update:
The latest TCPMP (0.71) does support streaming, but when I try to use it I get an "Unknown File Type" error.
I'll keep playing with it.
Which file do I use?
Is it this one? tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip
And then which cab file do I use and how?
O2 Exec user.
I'm assuming this will allow video playback and recording to use the full screen. Correct?
Many Thanks.
Use ac3.cabs.0.71 for the codec and tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71 for the player.
I've heard that there's a new version of core player. it's 1.04
anyone tried or got info if it's tytn friendly now?
br
ok... never mind. I came back home and check coreplayer forums - many improvements, but still NO support for ATI chipset in tytn... crap.
You can lock or trash this pointless topic now mods... cheers
And what about Pause/Play issue?
Does this version fix freezes after Pause?
Coreplayer 1.1 is supposed to have the Tytn support...
Can anyone confirm this?
Later, Lew
On my spvm3100, once you open it and close...than I can't restart it but if I make a Soft Reset...did someone have the same problem?
I have installed it on microSD.

i dont have this problem.
do you have any trouble watching movies?
It isn't still supported yet and don't know in wich version it will supported.
They asked ATI info about the chip and guess they haven't get enough info from them to resolve it.
If they ever will resolve the problem!
I use coreplayer with raw frame buffer settings and then it work for 50%.
Also i'm still waiting for a full working coreplayer.
I'm using version 1.04 with RAW FrameBuffer, and on newest WM5 (south africa ROM) it works good. No scattered music when you pause and play again. Seems to work good, but still no Imageon support
on my hermes it s work when i use spb DVD to convert my avi files or dvd...
but always when video is not on "ati" but rawbuffer
I am using Dopod U1000 and the coreplayer 1.04 is worst
on ATI Chips. Wind EFFECT on the screen and only 50% speed on 640x480 DivX movide
See this thread. Coreplayer works perfectly on ATI imageon now for me (using WMXL v0.20.1)
Hi guys!
I have recently tried getting TCPMP to work on TP2. Without any luck.
Firstly there seemed to be a problem with it running on WinMo 6.1. That has however been fixed in a thead somewhere here on xda dev.
I have tried all three of these fixes, and while they managed to get TCPMP open after install (Not get the crash.txt msg), it caused the TP2 to crash when opening a video file (even when trying to run the video that comes with the phone (my documents -> movies)).
Anyone know of any other solutions? because i have been searching but havent found anything to get this working.
Cheers!
same problem to me, I can't even play the video recorded with my TP2. It just hang.
its special TCPMP thats, working here. I have this functional, if you want to post it, just let mi know.
JF
Make it so, please.
Why don't you use Coreplayer for playing movie clips?
I'm having not issues playing most types of movie file... Great player!
Probably because Coreplayer is not freeware.
TCPMP is the predecessor of Coreplayer
its here: http://www.digitwins.com/download/TCPMP-0.72RC1.zip
JF
No luck yet
Thanks for the link, but is this version working on yours? At least I was able to open a video file (mp4) without my TP2 crashing like it did with other recomps I've tried, but the image is all messed up with green lines and **** all over the place...
Sorry, Im not using TCPMP for viewing pics. Didnt noticed that. And Im not gonna use it fot it ;-)
JF
Hi there... i'm having problems to get work on tp2 a player that supports subtitles. Do you know anyone? Thank you very much.
Regards.
Coreplayer dont use in touch pro 2
Coreplayer dont use with processor touch pro 2. In the web of Coreplayer it ist possible reed.
Thank you and sorry for me english
I just use this app now works like a charm.
http://divx-player-mobile.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
It is not possible for me :
- Core player can't start, I don't see the app after pressing the icon
- TCPMP-0.72RC1 open, but the videos are not working, it crashes
Is it a problem of 3D driver or somethong like that?
Well I too am using Coreplayer and it works just fine. v1.3.2 build 6909 for ARM. Plays VGA .avi files perectly...
Had the same problem with TCPMP crashing until I unchecked "DirectDraw" in Video Settings (i.e. use GDI or Raw Frame Buffer).
twana, that is brilliant, I'd given up on TCMP having tried every version I could find.
Did you find out how to fix the blacked-out buttons in the toolbar?
Black buttons are caused by the theme you're using. And yes even HTC standard theme is causing this
Hello!
Thank you Twana, TCPMP works fine for me when I put "GDI" in the video settings!
It is great.

coreplayer/tcpmp
Selecting gdi/rawframe buffer in video settings is a must. Also check tools -> preferences -> file associations if you want them to play aac mp4 etc it must be checked there.
There seem to be some issues with coreplayer on the HD2. Couple of reports in the corecodec forums. Personally I can't play anything downloaded off iplayer - it crashes the phone and it needs a soft reset to recover.
Anyone else seen a problem?
heard you had to switch "play mode" - GDI or directdraw... don't remember actually, but have you tried it?
ah, found it.. from DD --> GDI (video output)

Yeah, my old version of coreplayer didn't work at all which was upsetting since it's a great player. Instant crash. I had to find version 1.3.6, that's working a treat.
I am using Coreplayer 1.30 for streaming the videos of myplayer 1.80. I have no problems at all.

HD2/myplayer/coreplayer
Hmmph. Hope this is the right place to post and that someone can help...
I wanted to get iPlayer working on my HD2 (T-mobile). Investigated various methods and got nearest with myplayer.
However, when coreplayer is invoked all I get is a dark screen with the player controls at the bottom, menu items etc, and a rotating-dots hourglass thing (sorry - don't know tech term for that). It seems to have loaded the duration of the stream but gone straight to the end of it (the position slider is all the way to the right).
I have set the video out to GDI.
I'm using a Wi-Fi connection (phone turned off).
myPlayer version: 1.080
CorePlayer version: 1.3.6 build 7427 for ARM
Sometimes in CorePlayer I get the following error and then the device locks up.
"File not found!rtsp://3gp-acl.bbc.co.uk:554/3gpclip/iPlayer (FFFFFFF8)".
Any ideas please?
HD2/myplayer/coreplayer
Hi All!
Similar to David Copus -[HD2/myplayer/coreplayer] problems. myPlayer starts up coreplayer but hangs on trying to load the stream video. I tried player through divx 0.9 also and asplayer
I have set the video out to GDI and RawFrame Buffer
I'm using a Wi-Fi connection
myPlayer version: 1.080
CorePlayer version: 1.3.6 build
Please help.
If there are also any support ideas on trying to run .avi
coreplayer and divx player run some but some files require AC-3 & some ATS or something? (Do i need to wait for coreplayer 2.0 or are there alternatives?)
Thanks
Any idea?
I seem to have the same issue as the above two people!
Coreplayer 1.3.6 working fine, using GDI, quite happy with that. However when I come to use myPlayer it just launches with a blank screen (although I can get certain "live" content to work - so far BBC News 24 and Sky News!).
Anyone any ideas?
(thanks)

Same here, except I'm using 3G and not tried RawFrame.
I've downloaded and played something via myPlayer, but if I try to stream I get the same as the guys above - it's as if it's jumped right to the end of the stream and therefore won't play. If I move the slider back to the beginning, I just get the "busy" animation ad infinitum.
Can't be doing with having to download everything I want to watch!

Guys, please help
I have an HTC HD2 and have successfully installed Coreplayer and MyPlayer. Every time I try to run MyPlayer I get the much mentioned error below:
myPlayer Exception
1.090
Execution error unable to invoke media player in the path:
\Program Files\SorePlayer\player.exe
....
________________________________
I have made the Video change to GDI in CorePlayer and it makes no difference.
P.S. I can only assume that the good people at CorePlayer are doing their very best to dissuade people from using their product. You need some persistence to get to the stage where you get their product on your device. Is it any wonder that iPhone and the app store is so successful?
I have been steaming iPlayer and several live radio and TV stations from all over the world with Skyfire - and over 3G! No problems at all
For CorePlayer use:
DirectDraw
Overlay format YUY2
uncheck all in DirectDraw tab
Most speedy for me about 2.7 Mbit/s

The error tells us that the core player application cannot be found at the location specified. Looks like a typo in the path.
I would suggest:
\Program Files\SorePlayer\player.exe
should be set to:
\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe
Best thing to do is to select "Other" and use the "..." button in myPlayer to find the application on your device.
Hope that helps!

Yes, Coreplayer crashes the HD2
Yes, me too. Got my HD2 yesterday. Stupid WMP won't play avi, so I shelled out for Coreplayer and the first 2 avi files I tried to play and it crashed the phone and had to do a soft reset. The files play fine on my PC.
Can't find any other avi player for the HD2 on the Net. Betaplayer and its variants are all versions of Coreplayer.
Any ideas, anyone?

I don't have CorePlayer, but assuming it works the same way as TCPMP, try choosing DirectDraw as your video renderer and YUY2 as your DirectDraw overlay format. Tick the "use device stretching" box and uncheck the others on the DirectDraw page. If all that doesn't help then change the renderer to GDI.
EDIT: as this post has been linked to a couple of times recently, I felt I should redraft it a little!
The full set of optimum video settings for TCPMP or Coreplayer (in my opinion) is:
- Orientation: left-handed
- Zoom: fit best
- Video renderer set to DirectDraw
- Smooth zoom to "on" or "always" (NOT to 50%)
- Dither on (for the times when you need to switch to GDI, e.g. for subtitles)
- In the DirectDraw properties, set overlay format to YUY2. Also tick the box that says "use device stretching when blitting" and untick the other two boxes.
Fix for Coreplayer avi problem
Fixed. The Corecodec support forum has the answer: go into Video Settings in Coreplayer, and change from DirectDraw to GDI. Both avi files play just fine now and the player is excellent.
Cheers,
David
And thanks to the people in this forum who made the same/similar suggestions. Cheers!
Hi,
I have some .avi files on my Leo, but can't play them with standard Windows Media Player Portable. HTC player doesn't even show the files in the album view, so I can't add them to playlist.
Isn't Leo supposed to play .avi files? (Leo with WM6.5 and 1.48 ROM. Files on 16 GB FAT32 storage card.)
Properties of one avi file (for example):
350 MB
640 x 480 pixel
data rate: 996 kBit/s
total bit rate: 1122 kBit/s
25 fps
2 channel stereo sound
48 kHz, 126 kBit/s
Can someone help?
Thanks!
the_at
PS: If I convert the files to .mp4 with a program on my PC, Leo does play them. But I don't want to convert every single file (about 20 min. each)... Please help!
You need a different player to play avi files.
Try the suggestion in this post, particularly paying attention to the settings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5276685&postcount=2
Hope this helps
Wow, thanks for that fast reply!
I tried TCPMP before. And got some sort for error, player wouldn't even start. However, I tried the version you suggest again. The avi video isn't played properly (mostly just a green screen, artifacts...), the GUI doesn't show up correctly and after closing the player my Leo crashes (softreset).
Any other suggestions?
(BTW: Isn't there a solution without having to install a new player? Like an update or registry edit for the Windows Media Player? Afterall Leo should support avi files natively...
Thanks!!

You're welcome
Did you check the settings, as per that post that I linked you to? They work perfect for me, and the problems you described suggest that you didn't. Change the settings and then close the player. When you open it again it should play fine. (You need a succesful close to save the settings changes, which is why I suggest this.)

I'm afraid not - there's no native support for avi files (well, there may be for some encoding formats, or for raw avi files, but most avi files are encoded in a manner that requires you to have codecs installed on a PC to play, and obviously that's not windows mobile. Installing TCPMP means that you have a player with relevant codecs.)
Hope this helps
AVI is just the container, depends on what that AVI was encoded with as to WMP playing it or not...
TCPMP / Core player are very good players if set up properly.
Thanks to you guys!!
TCPMP is now working. Great! However, there is still one bug. Buttons next to "file" and "options" are not visible (eg. play, pause, next ..). They become visible for a slip second when I click them, but... Anyone knows a way around?
Thanks,
