it seems that the driver is causing freezes in my X1 while playing and then stopping/pausing and resuming videos using core player
anybody else get the same problem?
any idea how to fix this?
I've not been using the QTV driver in coreplayer.
I've had the best results with the following:
1. Turning off the "TYTN 2 Driver mode" on the Qtv preferences page
2. Selecting "Direct draw" and "high quality" on the Video page.
3. selecting "RGB" as the overlay format on the Direct draw page.
I already hard reset and now it runs at normal speed, still not sure about the freezes problem, need more investigation and time...
but I'm curious as to what is the best config for X1?
Ben, u said u don't use qtv, then what do you use?
anybody else?
direct draw here
i did notice that my benchmark is better when i use Qtv instead of directdraw.
I watch Iron Man (800ish MB DivX) in bed on Sunday using Direct Draw and other than the gun firing scene it seemed to run pretty smoothly.
please, try to use coreplayer 1.2.5 diamond skinned edition.
this will work flawless on my x1. (touch-it hd firmware)
can u upload the cab?

I am facing the same issue too. This is my experience: Actually the X1 did not hang, only the screen hang. You can press the on/off button and you will hear the pop up window to confirm the shutdown. Just "guestimate" where the yes button is and press on the screen. It should shut down.

Using your settings, the video is playing back in slow motion!
Try mine:
Use QTv, set to medium quality, no zoom.
medium quality makes the picture looks bad.....
so we can conclude that core player isn't truly support X1 for now?
@nap007 same problem here, with qtv output.
DirectDraw @ medium quality works fine for me
a 700mb xvid,resolution somewhere round 640x400 played smoothly and
quality is still nice @medium
For me too qTV is the fastest.
qTv with unchecked Tytn II mode does not render any video.
DirectDraw with blitting is 10% slower.
DirectDraw without blitting does not zoom the picture.
All around it's slower 10-20% then TCPMP and my 2 years old Palm T5 ! Sure, it had only 320x480 resolution, but I really expected more in this area.
Only hope is CorePlayer will come with some better Xperia support soon.
here's my setting in Coreplayer that renders the video smooth
Video
- Video Output: QTv display
- Video Quality: High
- Smooth Zoom: Only for 50%
- Dither - Yes
Buffer
- Normal Buffer Size: 2400KB
- Preload at underrun: 70%
- Preload for audio: 64KB
- Microdrive mode: Yes
- Microdrive buffer size: 16000KB
- Microdrive starts at: 1472KB
Advance
Off: No backlight keepalive for video, Slow video memory, Less rotation tearing, High priority music playback, Override AVI timing based on audio, Use system volume, Capture all buttons, Keep screen on when playing audio
On: Prefer lookup tables over arithmetic, D-pad follow screen orientation, Prefer less buffering over framerate, Benchmark from current pos, Pause playback when making phone call, Unpause playback after call, Disable AVC deblocking filter
QTv
TyTN II driver mode - Yes

CorePlayer and TCPMP does not support DirectDraw RGB mode and ATI ImageOn Video Accleration, after turn on the this option the screen can not display correctly, it seem have typhoon run on the screen.
Only DirectDraw YV12 YUY2 mode and Raw FrameBuffer can rendering correctly, but the performance on playing 640x480 DivX video is very terrible. The average speed only got 45%-70%.
I found some information in corecode forum TYTN and Hermes seem fixed some bug. but that method can not apply on Athena.
What setting are others using. I've tried running a 600x320 movie with Core player 0.81. It was very slow and stuttery.

my movie on tcpmp runs very smooth, full scrren with sound all sets to highest quality. no problem at all.
Using TCPMP, latest version. video playback is unwatchable, audio is fine but video is jerky, 1 frame per second or worse.
Wu5262, can you post the settings you are using please.

Video quality set to highest

Sound and movie play very very well, no delay at all. Let me know if you have different result.
Perfect! I had the video driver set wrong.
Working perfectly now, many thanks.
Great that works for me too.
Also guys & gals..tick the box for Micro drive in the settings dialogue...it helps. Has anybody managed to get DVD quality yet? If so, please give more info like encoded resolution, bit rate and codec used and application used for encoding.
Most of my old movies were encoded to 320x240 @ 600kbps and looked like DVD quality on my QVGA Hermes, but those same movies play very well on the Ameo, buy are stretched to smitherines and don't look good at all.
I've now tried using DVD-Ripped files (same encoding process as torrents) and these look absolutely beautiful, but are wide screen format so don't fill the entire screen. It benchtested at around 118% on Coreplayer and looks slightly better than on TCPMP which strangely benches at a slightly better 120%.
Another few suggestions:
In Coreplayer preferences:
Untick 'Slow video memory' & Tick 'Override AVI timing based on audio'.
Under Video I have selected:
Video: Rawframebuffer mode
Video Quality: High
Smooth Zoom: On
Don't Tick 'Dither' as it seems to cause the movie to look worse.
Good luck.
Here is my setting in CorePlayer 1.04 Build 716
1000Kbps 640 x 480 DivX Movie. Speed is reasonable.
~~DirectDraw Page~~
Overlay format: YV12 **** Remember must set this option first******
~~Video Page~~
Video output: ATI IMAGEON
Video Quality: High
Smooth Zoom: On
Dither: OFF
Accleration: OFF
P.S. We can't get the full performance on No DirectDraw overlay in RGB and ATI ImageOn with accleration,
But there have BUG in ATI ImageOn decoder in CorePlayer because ATI did not disclose the ImageOn structure.

Thanks for that Simdao...those settings you got do actually produce much better performance results. No lost frames now and benchtest has risen from 118% to 145% on coreplayer!!
Bare in mind people that I'm using proper DVD rips in which the video resolution is and bit rate is considerably higher than for 320x240 mp4s or equvalent Divx files....those files should yield benchtest results og 280% - 300%+.
This is great...only problem with the ATI Imageon software renderer is that you get some 'minor distortion' in interface mode...but perfection in full screen mode. Cheers mate.
Bloody ATI ****e...

Take that back. ATI has screwed up coreplayer today...I can't even get to change the settings as it crashes all the time even with soft-resetting the device!
TCPMP seems more stable in allowing me to change settings back to Rawframebuffer mode. Problems are definitely not resolved with ATI and Coreplayer or TCPMP....here we go again.

Is there any real fix to this problem ?
Are you guys able to play DIVX movies with quality ? our any TV SERIES ?
This might be the main reason that i am not going to buy the HTC Athena since there isnt any real and final fix for this problem that comes from the TYTN ..... why cant ATI help with this ? ....
dammmm
Mine seems to play ok. The picture even looks good through the vga port.
so you guys are saying that playback so far of call files have perfect video quality with no conversion nesessary?
DVD Rips look perfect!!

What I'm saying is that Torrent DVD-Rips...search for ''axxo" rips on torrentspy.com (his rips are near on perfect), are absolutely perfect looking on the Athena. Comparable to DVD or even High def quality!!
Benching at 160%+ now too in TCPMP, but Coreplayer 1.04 has no AC3 audio support...hence the switch back to TCPMP 0.72RC....NO Conversion of video file necessary.
So it seems that I'm unable to play back any video format besides WMV.
WMV's play back fine while other formats (e.g. xvid, divx) do not play back at all. Coreplayer crashes to today screen or shows me a green garbled screen with vertical lines.
WMP just freezes and does nothing.
Is this a known issue (I didn't find anything using search)?
Any format of audio plays back perfectly fine (as long as it is not embedded in a video).
I had this, you need to change the Video driver to Raw frame buffer and all will be well. I use TCPMP and this was what I had to do for it to work.

I had done this at first initially too, but simdeo (fellow member) suggested Imageon setting, but NOT Imageon Hardware decoder. This has massively improved speed and visual quality, but you will get intermittent lines across the interface, but not in full screen mode. Settings should be:
TCPMP:
Video Driver = ATI IMAGEON
Buffering = Microdrive (ticked)
Advanced = Tick only: D-Pad, Use System Vol, Benchmark (none od these settings affect performance, just my preference - but selecting other options may adversly affect performance)
Direct Draw = YV12 and tick 'Overlay with colorkey' only.
That's it. Best performance to date and can play torrent or own DVD rips perfectly, providing they were not encoded as high as 640x480.
I'm having the same problems but cannot for the life of me find any settings on Coreplayer that will let me change the buffer settings or the driver.
I'm sure I'm missing something here.
Coreplayer version =1.0.4 build 716
It's the latest version afaik.
Adey
Ok, I found the settings in Coreplayer (yeah, I know, should have looked harder..) and all is now well.
Ok, so I've got really decent playback from standard 350mb XVid TV programs but I'm still having what appear to be buffering problems.
Does anyone know what the ideal buffer settings are?
Adey
I have found that overclocking the CPU yields in much better playback (although not perfect).
If I want to view a 640x480 video I run the CPU at 728 Mhz (what program would allow higher?), but still the fps is not up to par. I would say the playback is around 90-95%.

Hi Calavaro. What app are you using to o/c the CPU? & exactly what settings do you use? Oh and lastly what's the power consumtion like if left on 728 Mhz all the time?

we use PHM to overclock our device, if you set to 728 and push mail and bluetooth all the time, you won't last for whole day, maybe just about 7 hours. But really you don't need your device on 728 all the time, and personally i think 728 is a bit unstable, so i use 662 when my device is on, otherwise 228 the rest of the time to save battery.
You MUST disable the internal scale from the PHM setting, otherwise it won't work

just wanted to say thanks for this thread. was going nuts with the same problem re: vertical lines, pink screen, etc. almost made a post to ask you guys what kind of parameters or settings you used for your video players. i use core and i confirm that the "raw frame buffer" works well.
cheers
About TCPMP with the best settings applied as mentioned in this thread, is there something else we can do to further improve the playback quality?
I have some clips that feature "fast moving action" e.g. action scenes in movies. These clips will actually play, but when the "fast moving action" is there, you can see that it isn't going really that smooth/fast enough, resulting in noticeable, fast upcoming blocks/lines when you look closely. I'm not sure how to describe this effect best, but I guess pretty much everyone knows what I mean here.
Thanks!!

Hi.
Try playing any 3 minute segment of the video you have then click on File/Media Info and check the resolution of your video. If its below 640x480, then the problem is most likely a low bit rate used to encode the video, hence the pixelated blocks in high speed.
You can get away with less, but I encode now only at 480x320 @850kbps and get superb results each time...DVD quality and High definition quality too when I encode from HD source.
Can't say anymore than that. Click on my name and look through my posts, there will be a recent one entitled something like 'Excellent playback via Coreplayer & TCPMP'. This should help a bit if you have the time to read.
Please Share your experiences.
For example:
1) What is the best video player ( coreplayer, tcpmp,others)
2) What is the best video output method in coreplayer and tcpmp ( Ati IMAGEON, direct draw,etc)
3) What is the best video format to play , xvid , wmv, divx,etc
4) What is the best resolution to play in athena
5) Is better to convert before play, or doesn't mater
6) Playing subtitles, , and flicker problems
7) others
tcpmp .081 Ati IMAGEON result is not good
but I do not know why
3) divx
5) 6) PocketDivxEncoder
I'm using AP4 rom and only use xcpuscalar (from immieresoft.com) @ 624 or 663MHz when viewing movies on TCPMP. Problems usually only occur when the Athena's auto cpu scaling changes speeds and xcpuscalar eliminates those changes.
To encode, I use dvdDecrypter to copy movies onto my hard-drive and AutoGordianKnot to convert to Xvid avi and set maximum width (advanced settings) to 640 and output size to Target quality 100%. The movies usually benchmark really close to 100% (sometimes slightly more or slightly less) and have minimal frame drops on most movies (the best was 7~13 out of 19,###).
I've been very happy with my x7501 lately...
My best setting's for TCMP 0.72 RC1 are:
Check:
ATI IMAGEON
DITHER
Unchek:
Smooth Zoom (only 50%)
Smooth Zomm (always)
Quality-> Normal
Video runs ok, good speed.
Subtiltes no so good (flicker problems)
I'm using TCPMP 0.71 with good results
My checked settings are:
Video >
Smooth Zoom (only 50%)
Quality normal
video > Raw Framebuffer
I also enabled Microdrive mode with a buffer of 16000KB
I also have these TCPMP plugins:
AC3
FFMPEG
Vorbis LQ
For Encoding nothing beats Pocket DivX encoder.
Cheers!
I think, ATI Imageon (using "ati3200.plg" plugin for TCPMP, or internal ATI-plugin in Core Player (turn OFF hardware acceleration for nice work)) chosen as a video driver - the best solution. It shows the best results in benchmark, better than Raw Framebuffer or Direct Draw. But if you use Core Player (TCPMP) with ATI Imageon driver after using camera, you must reboot (soft-reset) your device for normal work of driver. And remember - turn flag off from "hardware acceleration" in Core Player (video).
DVD-rips plays good.
ATI-plugin for TCPMP attached here:
Using CorePlayer ver.1.1.3 & TCPMP 0.72+ATI Driver3200.
Both have a problem: DELAYED VOICE SOUND after 1-2 minutes playing.
Any suggestions?
hi,
I am newbee to Athena and i cannot play video files on my new athena. Athena plays video files out of sync and slowly, so i searched the xda for solution, but unfortunately i could not find one. Most of the post, which i read were dated almost a year to two year back. So i was wondering, if anyone found a solution for playing video files on Tcpmp and coreplayer.
#1 Encode the movie to 640 pixels wide.
#2 Change the settings: Options>
Zoom>Fit Best or 100%
Pixel Aspect Ratio>Auto
Video>ATI IMAGEON
Settings>Select Page>ATI IMAGEON>Checked>Disable OS Bitmap Caching, Reuse primary surface if needed, Optimized primary surface mode, Scaling LCD tearing compensation
Settings>Select Page>Direct Draw>Overlay format>YV12, Overlay with color key checked
Settings>Select Page>GAPI nothing checked
#3 Plug the Athena into external power or use a program like XCPUScalar and set the CPU speed to 624MHz. Most issues with choppy video are due to the automatic speed changes of the Athena and you want to eliminate that problem.
Watch your video. Some people had better results using different settings than ATI IMAGEON, but these were the best settings for my device...
The Ultimate HD2 & coreplayer 1.3.6 setup, 3800kbps wvga (h264) no single frameskip.
This isnt a joke, i finally found the problem of coreplayer on our HD2,
this will solve all your problems with coreplayer:
settings:
go to select page then video:
Video Output: DirectDraw (before you change this make sure there is no video running on coreplayer cus it will freeze your device, otherwize,
go to DirectDraw page and change Overlay to YUY2, then change Output to DirectDraw)
DO NOT USE GDI and RAWFRAMEBUFFER- unless you like choppy or framy(lol) videos. (make sure you have 1.3.6 one to get max performance with DirectDraw).
now this is important:
go to select page then DirectDraw:
uncheck Overlay with colorkey
uncheck Use blitting instead of overlay
check Use device streching for blitting.
Overlay: YUY2
go to select page then Advanced:
Soft-Drop tolerance: 0.300 /0.200 /0.250 ( personally i use 0.250 it seems better )
Hard-Drop tolerance: 0.000
check Disable AVC deblocking filter
( EDIT: about AVC deblocking filter:
with h264 you can see some annoying squares on the video sometimes, now i recommend to uncheck this option and use TG01-D3DM drivers from chainfire, although in 3800kbps videos you will receive skips sometimes, but dont use such high bitrate with coreplayer XD tried 2000kbps one and works smooth with deblocking enabled)
after you have done all this coreplayer will run very fast,
BUT we havnt finished yet!!
playback will still have slowdowns, and this isnt related to the settings,
it is related to a bug inside coreplayer, which affects the autoscale feature of the snapdragon.
have you been wondering why benchmark is so high while playback lags a bit?
I explored this thing, i can tell you that when i check "Play movie in backgroung", and watch the cpu speed: it goes down from 768MHZ to 400-300MHZ randomaly then goes back into 768MHZ, interesting isnt it?
when it drops down to 300-400 it has lags, and when it returns to 768, the lags stop.
the final solution:
http://www.netripper.com/leo/cpuspeed/LeoCpuSpeed_v2.zip
this program will allow you to keep the CPU in its position or make it full 1GHZ.
all you have to do is open it then tap "Disable autoscaling" and you will have Full 1ghz speed.
you can explore yourself by re-enabling autoscaling ("(Re)enable autoscaling")
then activate movie playback in background through coreplayer, then go to this software and watch the speed dropdowns.
now the "Disable autoscaling" is perfect for coreplayer, it also use 1ghz instead of 768MHZ, and also does not drop down randomally.
it is recommanded to activate autoscaling after finishing with coreplayer, so you can use more battery, it barely affects the speed of everything else but coreplayer, because it automatically increases to 1ghz when you switch between apps, but does not stay 1ghz inside the app itself.
(im not a native speaker, i hope you could understand this.)
enjoy guys.
Core player does not work anymore!!
Followed these instructions to the letter.
Core player stopped playing videos!
Had to hard reset and restore. Beware.
Edit: I am using (and paying for!) version 1.3.6
I hard resetted because reinstalling did not solve the issue.
Hard resets are almost painless when you backup regularly (I use SPB backup... excellent).
maybe you are not using the 1.3.6 version of coreplayer
thats why it didnt play any video (DirectDraw works only on 1.3.6 and one more version - at the others you get green screen)
anyway why hard reset? you could reinstall coreplayer..
It worked for me though.
The benchmark for video with following properties reads 140%.
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 848x480 23.98fps
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 128kbps
It plays smoothly. =)
glad this works for you,
dont forget the fix for the cpu slowdown, cus without this the benchmark is only a number, and the playback will be with lags.
can you post your bit-rate?
Thanks for the tip!
Btw, this might be kinda off topic, but do you know how to get the htc volume slider (volume slider as in HTC music player) to work in coreplayer when I press the volume rocker?
Currently, the video will pause whenever I press on the volume rocker to change the volume.
Umm i have no idea,
maybe you can search google, but i have another solution:
theres an option around coreplayer settings to make the video keep playing when it exits fullscreen, so all you have to do is increase volume, then go back to fullscreen and the video keeps playing..
working
"you are good, you are very good "
No more lost frames, works indeed but now quality is not so good, I see lots of artefacts on my lower framerate videos.
Maybe I messed up some settings ?
i guess you did, go over the color settings etc.. ( i use 0 on brightness )
there is absolutely no drop-down in the quality,
if i play the same video also in album - you cannot tell which is which if i show you both in fullscreen.
I made those brightnes settings and the artefacts are still visible .
???
Thanks for help
ummm i dont completely understand what "artefacts" is lol, (not a native speaker sorry, i used dictionary but the meaning doesnt make sense xD, maybe you should try to explain this better)
i do understand that the quality isnt like before, this means you messed up with the settings somewhere. i do not see any drop-down in the quality of my movies.
Artefacts are little squares on the screen when is lot of movement
Sorry for my poor english
got it, do you say these werent there before? actually this is common with flv files.
one more question: does it happen when the screen goes black?
yes these apear after your settings
I had first part of settings ( yuy2 ) and I guess they apeared after I did the second part of settings ( soft and hard drop )
nope this is defenetly not related to soft and hard drop, im thinking now with my hd2. but tell me if you mean those squares when the screen goes black, cus somehow in the past i solved this.
when the screen is black , the squars are not visible
when I watch any movie, video they are very ugly ( in some grey area )
i cant notice any squares, once i had them left on the black screen, but i solved this, there are no squares!!
try use videos with higher bitrate, usually low-quality videos cause squares, also i would recommend to go back to the default settings to see if theres any difference which i guess there isnt.
EDIT: try unchecking Disable AVC Deblocking filter, and tell me if this helps. (this massivily drops the benchmark)
strange because I did not see them before
How I can reset to the default settings ?
install again ?
Try enabling avc deblocking filter (in the edit last post)
im going to sleep... 2:00AM here, Cya.
when I enable avc deblocking filter those artefacts are not so visible
but now freezes the playback, is not so fluid like before
when I disable avc filter it is smooth but with larger artefacts
I give up and go to sleep, thank you a lot,
to be continued
