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.

Hi I've just received my HD and overall I'm very impressed. I was a smartphone user previously so I’m having to come to terms with TouchFlo and Windows Mobile all at the same time!
The only real problem I’m having is playing .avi video. I've transferred an .avi file to my memory card but it won't play in CorePlayer (need the AC3 codec I think) and TCPMP doesn't load (get a crash screen) and mobile divx plays the video but it’s a mess on the screen.
I've even tried to encode the video file with PocketDivXEncoder but I think this needs TCPMP to play and it looks terrible in Mobile Divx.
So my question is how do I successfully play an .avi as this is one of the main reasons I bought my HD.
Also one further question with appointments in the calendar when I get a reminder the notification pop up doesn't appear till I click on the alarm icon at the top of the screen - is this due to touchflo and can you force WM6.1 to always show the notification - I’m finding I’m forgetting about meetings because of this!
Thanks in advance of your help.

I've tried playing avi (divx) files with great success. I have been using CorePlayer (v1.2.5). Maybe you should try another video file? it should work
Interesting - are you using a special codec with that or just the player?

I now see your problem, I had originally tried only avi movies with mp3 audio (like most of my videos). I tested it with a file with AC3 audio and it appears that CorePlayer doesnt have that codec.
Guess your only option with movies with AC3 audio is to convert them, or you might be able to get an AC3 codec somewhere.
So is there a way of converting my video into avi + mp3 rather than AC3 as it sounds like that would sort my problem?

You could try the freeware video converter program 'SUPER'.
SUPER allows you to convert easily many aspects of a video including size, frame rate, format of video and audio, etc.
I use it all the time to convert my camera videos for use with my Hard Drive TV Media Player.
Don't try and download it from the developers web site it's a minefield in how to get the program.
Instead get it direct from Download.com here:-

I'm about to buy a Touch HD and was wondering if someone can confirm that it can playback video files (.avi) that can be found around the web (e.g. tv shows, movies and such) smoothly without conversion. (just transfer and play)?
yes please, can handle a typical rip of 350mb tv show or 700mb movie without problems?

It certainly can. I watched a whole divx movie i downloaded in full resolution (640 i think) without any conversion, and it was working great. havent tried a TV show yet but i guess it will work fine.

How did you manage that, mines plays the videos but they are jerky, seems like it's caching the film. I've even tried same file on iphone & hd, iphone was much smoother. what am i doing wrong??
Peter.
I've got to agree here with edwardscdr. I have no problem whatsoever in playing .avi files using Core Player 1.2.5
I believe the problem that others are having is down to what software and system associated files individuals have installed on their Phone. These could be effecting the performance of the playback.
It's a bit extreme but one sure way of finding out the problem is to hard reset the device and install ONLY Core Player (I personally did this when I first received my Touch HD).
Next transfer a video/movie file and play it........ Do you notice any improvements?
If so then at least you know it's down to what was previously installed.
To then eliminate the culprit that was causing the problem is to install software titles one-by-one and on each occasion check the playback of the video.
When it changes and no longer runs smoothly then BANG.... you have your culprit.

its the ac3, core player can't play it
i wish i can convert the audio via super...
sound can be changed, the audio codecs will show different results when using a different container, im just used to the .mp4 container so i didnt see an audio codec change to mp3
AC3 will play on the old TCPMP beta, the screen is buggy (missing buttons etc) but it does work. If you set up file extensions (in the options settings in both apps) to play on different media players you won't have any trouble (eg: AC3 plays on TCPMP, divx/xvid plays very well on Coreplayer).
The only videos i have trouble playing are in the H264 codec, but that's not a surprise as it is an advanced codec that can make some older desktops slow down.
As far as I am aware, the only media player that takes advantage of hardware acceleration is the built in media player with the HD. For optimum video playback you'd probably want to convert your video files with a third party app into mp4, BUT as an experienced heavy user of video files I find that a combo of Coreplayer, TCPMP and the built in player works just fine for nearly all occasions.
Hope this helps.
the videos are kinda bit pixelated also in tcpmp, the play buttons are center below but u cant see them until u click them ahha
i recorded something on my x1 and saved it and when i got to view it, it never plays and even when i try to watch the bond trailer it just goes back to the video u want to view. whats the problem

It happened to me too, when i installed the wrong youtube app. Hard reset is the only way to fix it.
I have no problem with MM panel - works fine, plays music, video, photos. Video form camera, originally uploaded Bond trailer or Jazz Video, my .mp4 video - works OK.
I have also installed YouTube panel and I see no problems

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...
When I first got my Tilt 2 I could play youtube videos fine, but now I just get audio, no video. When I launch youtube URLs they open in the browser and get redirected to m.youtube.com. When I click "Watch Video" it launches HTC Streaming Media, the About screen shows 3.10h (Build 1918.1332). The app connects and buffers just fine, and the sound is fine, but no video. The screen is just black (or grey actually, sometimes with random back bars). No difference in Portrait or Landscape mode.
I'm still using the AT&T ROM, I've installed a few apps but no media players. If I manually launch the YouTube app from \Windows\YouTube the video and audio are great. This About screen shows 2.6 (Build 1917.4121).
I searched this forum and the general forum for youtube and "streaming media" but didn't find an answer.
Did I do something to change the default player for RTSP? Should I even bother fixing the Streaming Media app or just figure out how to change the default player to the YouTube app?
youtube URLs never open in the youtube app as far as i know. but try a hard reset because even in streaming media, you should be getting video.
I've got a lot of apps installed and custom settings, it's not worth a hard reset just to get youtube videos when everythign else works.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?
Have you tried Pyrorobs youtube update?
Streams fast and works allright.
It only doesnt support landscape atm.
Hello... First, my English is not very good, i using Freya ROM, 23138, it's very good... but i have sound problems when stream from youtube using Streaming Media, there is no sound, only video is playing, i can't set up eny other player to be default streaming player when i open opera mini and m.youtube.com to stream. How can i fix sound problem in streaming media when i watch youtube stream? Any codec, or fix, patch, reg key or something to fix that stupid problem? I try using TCPMP end registry change rtsp key, opera mini than doesn't recognize stream and then i see rtsp error, i have all plugins installed for tcpmp and youtube and codecs. Please help me to use streaming media, i like it, or setting up other default rtsp player (example TCPMP)! Thanks
I buy Downloadable videos from Amazon pretty often and they are in wmv format. I already know It doesn't work with the video player, so I tried others like Rock player. But when I tried playing it, it shows me a mess of colors and no sound. Also I tried to Play another wmv file and got the video to play but got no sound. Does anyone know of a better video player replacement other than rock player that will play files like these with success? Or maybe even a way to get Amazon videos to play On android?
