The best multimedia players!!!

Hi guys,
I'm looking for the best mm player for my Jam...
I'd like a player that:
- can works in background
- can play all the mm format (audio/video) such as: mp3, ogg, mpeg, avi,wma divx ecc...
- the player have to stop when I'll receive a call or text and then play again
- the player have to don't use the standard configuration fot the power management (es: I configure my Jam to shutdown after 3min. but if I play mp3 I don't want this!)
The Win media player 10 it's very nice for example but how can i add the plugin fro divx, ogg and all the other fromat?
Any other mm player application?

try this

Think TCPMP is the best.

I think that Betaplayer and TCPMP are the same now

Yeah, TCMP is the newer version of Betaplayer. Dunno why they renamed it, but oh well. Whaever floats their boat!

A good music player is MortPlayer. A good video player is the already mentioned TCPMP. You can also find plugins for the WM to play Divx movies and so on but I would recommend the above combination.

Man, except for TCPMP (aka BETAPLAYER), there aren't any mediaplayers that support all those features...

is there a way to play AAC file (ipod) with WMP 10
I'd like to find a player that can play AAC file (ipod).
I tried Nero ShowTime Mobile which is good but doesn't stop correctly when you get a phone call
Is there a way to play AAC file with WMP10?

Hi guys!
I tried TCPMP and it's really nice but...
I'd like the player in "pause" when I receive an incomming call and with TCPMP I can't find the option to configure it... seems to continue to play but with no sound.
How does it works?

Talking about TCPMP.
A fiend of mine gave me an MP4 movie file which he had on his PSP.
I figured as TCPMP plays MP4's it would be as simple as transferring it onto my device and playing via TCPMP.
It works in the sense that i get great video, but there is no audio.
I get the following message at the beginning:
AUDIO CODEC (MPEG4 AAC AUDIO) Not supported by the player. Decoder was removed from the official install package.
Is there anything I can do to resolve the audio with this player. Or should I use another player?

That problem would be fixed if you had the same codec that Namelous is after (3 posts up). TCPMP comes with the MP4 video decoder, but need the AAC audio decoder to run, as most MPEG-style movies are encoded with separate video and audio. If you were to rip a movie to your hard drive from a dvd to Mpeg 2, more often than not you'd have audio encoded in MP3, so you'd need both the Mpeg 2 and MP3 codecs on your system.
Good luck finding an AAC codec for PPC. If you do, please let me know as I've been looking too!

What about Soundexplorer? (obviously not for video...). It also records sound (much players don't). I like it very much.

Looks like PocketMusic has an AAC plugin.
Haven't tried this program yet, but would love feedback if anyone does (like does it pause music on an incoming call, how is the equilizer, bass boost, overall usability, etc.?)
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I went ahead and downloaded the trial version on my MDA Pro and like it a lot! Doesn't play movies of course, but the equilizer is pretty good, and it pauses your tunes on incoming calls. Other features like mapping to the hardware buttons, big finger-sized screen buttons, skins, cross-fading, and an alarm clock make it nice.

AAC Plugin...
Google give:

It's illigal in some countries, but when you are not living in them you can try this.

MP3/Media Player

I know this has probably been listed in the past, but what MP3/Media Player do you use?
If possible, include a link to where it can be downloaded.

Is there any player with the balance meter (left/right)?

Sure TCPMP is the best at playing all sort of media
When I can't see a video on my pc, 80% chances are that TCPMP will read it :lol:
And it has a lot of features eg. the speed of playback, equalizer.. With the last one u can even boost up the loudspeaker volume!
Finally, it's rather simple to use: with hotkeys for everything u can do anything...
Only drawback is poor quality of 3gp playback and no midi at all: but I'm using album app for these :wink:
Saluti, MocciJ

PocketMusic for mp3's (skinable and has a nice equaliser function) and BetaPlayer for video (simple and I convert everything to DivX and it handles them with no probs)

Are yo able to playback fullsize Divx files smoothly in TCPMP.
I have a Magician and if I stream 720x480 divx video over wifi on playback from a SD card the video will always stutter. I get about 10s and then it pauses. Seems like a buffer issue.
Are there any tweaks for TCPMP or will overclocking the Magician help?

TCPMP for videos and MortPlayer for MP3s with my A2DP headset.

Gsplayer by greensoftware [freeware]. Turns screen automatic off, functions can be mapped to hardware buttons.

full sized 700mb divx movie files play fine running from SD on my magician (using tcpmp)
But ill normally resize and reencode, but it is handy being able to run stuff without encoding first, if theres not time to do etc.

VLC PLAYER FOR PPC anyone

does anybody know where to find vlc player ppc.... the official site doesn't offer anymore... if you have it then please give me...

I've read that it's highly unstable. You can get the last draft here:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/wince/vlc-0.8.4-test1-20051012-0130-wince.zip
If you're looking for a video player, I'd recommend TCPMP very strongly. For audio, MortPlayer (for various reasons such as supports more than wmv/mp3, has built-in screen sleep mode and button mapping, is easy to re-skin).
What was your intended use for VLC?

I agree TCPMP is a great player, used it for a long time on my ipaq, and now on my wizard, just works great

Myrddin wyllt,.. I was kinda looking for good decoders for live streaming. I love to watch live tv over wifi, watching anime, basketball, news and etc... though wmp, tcmp, streaming video, core player, or even the mplayer ( doesn't support sound with wma streaming) don't offer that much decoders.. like rstp: streaming 3gp or mms streaming mp4... and I'm even hoping that there would be a divx stream for ppc! I wish.
I had all but lost hope for this... but then I heard that vlc ppc was also able to stream video... I was hoping that it would support all decoders.. IF NOT I"ll just copy the Plugins from the VLC (PC VERSION) then put in the vlc ppc directory...
IF i came up with an error in vlc streaming then i'll try copying the plugins... though i don't know if it will work or not? But who knows.
Though if i made some mistakes, please please correct me (thats the only way i'll learn)
I HAVE GOOD DAY!

Thumb Up! TCPMP and MortPlayer!
If you want to stream 3GP through RTSP/HTTP, just use the HTC Streaming Media.
For wma streaming...why don't you use WMP?

WMP supports all lot but sometimes it doesn't work, Audio works but no video... and in mplayer support video but no wma....
BTW... IS htc streaming media the same as streaming media... I downloaded a WM6 rom onto my 8125 and got a streaming media software with it... IS IT the same as htc streaming media or an upgraded version?...

If you're looking for a Divx stream, DIVX.COM now has a mobile player. I haven't tested it that much, but the desktop version will play almost anything I throw at it!

VLC Player for PPC
Hi, am looking out for a ppc player which could play .VOB formats without conversion. I believe VLC Player can do the job. TCPMP is not supporting VOB. Help anyone? thanks.

just buy core player. it is really worth it.

Yeah. There is only VLC Remote wich allows u to control VLC running on your pc/Mac via your PPC. And VLC Remote is only for WebOS (as i could find).

are these «nightly's» automatically generated by some software daily? if not, then who's posting them? or rather, wth are they? I cant figureout how to install them. whatever this vlc for winmo is, not holding my breath for it. I just wish vlc for android gets released soon, as it was announced last month but is still nowhere to be found. all I need is the ability to time stretch (fast playback speed at normal pitch/tone), but so far there's still no mobile programthat can do this on either WinMo or Android. sigh..

Best free media player?

Whats the best free media player for the X1? I have a lot of DIVX files that I want to put on my X1.

TCPMP .. but it wont manage to play most of them.
Its commercial brother CorePlayer is a bit better and faster, but does not suffice for most movies either.
Only way how to play movies in reasonable quality is to convert them and use WMP or media panel, since they use hardware support.
There are hundreds topics covering this so please do some searching.

Is CorePlayer better than the built in player for playing MP3s?

CorePlayer is good for everything in my opinion. You get Youtube with it too. It's not free though.

Hard to judge. Both work. In mp3 playback I think Coreplayer is same as TCPMP.
Coreplayer sometimes creates clicks in the playback, even with 'higher priority' option on. And it sometimes draws album art distorted, but only with QTv display driver. But then you will usually have this driver selected, unless you only play MP3 and no video.
On the other hand, Core player (and TCPMP too) has equalizer, and has better playlist management, can play in background.

no one uses mortplayer?

Default Media Player Plays Divx/xvid 7 Mp4's For Me!

I read everywhere that people are using rockplayer to play various video formats such as xvid & divx.
I also thought I would need the rockplayer to play my videos...
While I did try rock player, most of my videos were lagg/choppy and most videos were well out of sync, many files didn't even play and this resulted in a crash/freeze...
Not long ago, I was browsing through my media and saw my videos as well as the preview!
I tried them all with the default player on the dell streak and it played ALL videos smoothly, clear & in sync...
If the default player plays almost everything, why are people moaning about software needed to play video's?

The default player does not play AVI FILES that' why we need Rock player

Ahh, I see, so the default player plays most formats but does not play .avi?
That's fine as most of my videos are xvid...
Also, why does every single video I have lag and the audio is out of sync with rockplayer or even yxflash player?
That's why I use the built in player for the time being until Android 2.2 is out as it should fix & improve the functionality of the phone as well as make it even faster/smoother and if were lucky, improve battery life!

avi is a container which can be used for the xvid/divx codecs amongst others.
