Hi,
I am looking for an alternative to HTC's Streaming Media Player.
Why? Well, their player has some glitches which causes the T-Mobile Netherlands Mobile TV streams to behave pretty strange (showing up weird colors and blocks all over the screen), while another phone (running Symbian) is just working fine.
The player has to support AAC+ audio, because T-Mobile encodes the audio in that format.
Can anyone tell me if there is a good player out there, that can do this for me? It doesn't have to be free.
Thanks!

Try Kinoma Player. But you have to pay for it, if you want to use AAC+.

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..
I have a T-Mobile TP2 and have installed MyPlayer (pocket TV streaming program). I am able to use the MyPlayer aspect of the program in which it provides all of the feeds/streams to the TV broadcasts, but when MyPlayer redirects me to CorePlayer for the stream it is always choppy.
I have CorePlayer version 1.3.5 and had attempted to fix this by reducing/ increasing the video/audio buffer, using DirectDraw instead of QTV mode, and many other options. Has anyone had luck in having CorePlayer use the streams from MyPlayer? It has hundreds of channels but are pretty much useless when it is this choppy. I notice also when I disable sound completely the stuttering goes away, but that is pretty useless as well
Have you tried using the onboard streaming media player instead?
Good idea, I thought that Coreplayer was required for this, and it is for some of the channels, but not for the majority of them. I used Windows media player instead an it no longer stutters, but picture quality wise it does not quite look as good.
Another question here, does anyone know where the HTC brander player is located in the file directory? The same one used for the HTC Album. I hear that it works really well, but I cant find it. Thanks again!
Hey everyone.
Wanted to find out if Coreplayer is worth buying for the HD2? Currently just installed myplayer app and forced to switch the player to WM player but wondering if the quality of streaming or video playback is better in coreplayer?
I'm not too fussed right now about codecs and functionality although no doubt I will be in a few weeks when i dont have a codec for a video but I'm wondering if there are any improvements in purely video quality only in coreplayer compared to WM player?
Thanks

hey dude...i have both installed and i have few dvd that i have ripped onto my phone by using spb mobile dvd. I have viewed videos through both players...and they both works fine and could not tell any difference, however what i have noticed is the buttons on coreplayer are more responsive, for instance you could fast forward a track or video easily rather than the WM player
i hope that helps
The main advantage i have found with coreplayer is watching internet TV streams. These seem to sun much smoother.
for the best performance/video quality its best to recode video to MP4 and use the htc album player to watch the movie/documentary about maggie thatcher (or whatever source you have)
The main disadvantage of the CorePlayer is a lack of AC3 sound codec compatibility.
When you open a movie with sound in AC3 - it just won't play.

And WMP plays AC3 fine?
To me Coreplayer seems to be way faster, plus it plays most videos without converting.. wmp does not play any of my avis..
Hi
I know there are a few video player out there like divx, core player and the media player itself. What I usually watch at home are
avi files, mkv, real player, not much of mp4 unless I need to transcode them myself. Someone give me some idea what I will most likely to use or be able to read smoothly with the tp2. Thank you.
Not sure what you are asking
On my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 I use the stock media player that comes on the ROM.
For movies and downloaded videos I use the "Microsoft Zune" mp4 setting for videos.
For example, on my DVD movies I have used Slysofts "AnyDVD" and CloneDVD Mobile for converting my movies into a format that will play on my TP2.
The Slysoft Clone DVD Mobile has various encoders you can select, depending on the device you have.
I spent a half day trying various settings because "Touch Pro2" was not one of the available settings. I eventually found that "Microsoft Zune (MP4)" works perfect.
Not sure if I can provide links, so just Google "Slysoft CloneDVD mobile" and the site will come up.
Hope that helps.
Sidenote: Windows WMV format also plays on the TP2 but as you might suspect the quality is horrible and it lags big time.

I bought a new Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headset and I'm getting audio delay by one second when watching video, I can tell as the lip movements don't match.
Affected players:
MoboPlayer
MX Player
BS Player
XBMC
I have tried a combination of HW/SW modes but this doesn't make a difference. XBMC does have an audio sync slider, but this is extremely awkward to adjust with the very small buttons/sliders in the UI.
On the other hand, there are no audio delays in Play Movies for the Transformers movie, nor in Dice Player. But Dice Player is not my preferred video player.
Any solutions to this? Is there something in Dice Player that fixes it, and is up to developers of other players to implement this "fix"?
Thanks

I just tried my bluetooth audio headset (it's actually a bluetooth transceiver which connects to my hearing aids), and Dice Player has a big delay - just like all the other players.
I did a quick search for XBMC in the market/play store, but couldn't find the video player - got a link to it by chance, please? I'd love to try the sliders.
Cheers,
Richard.

XBMC is still in beta so it's not on Play yet, got mine from the OP's links in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433
Also tried a few other players, Rock Player and QQ Player, same problems :/
Unless they've improved bt with video in the last three years, you cannot use bt headphones when watching videos. It introduces a delay with audio. This isn't noticeable when simply listening to music as there is nothing to look at. Same with voice calls.
I was super bummed years ago when I bought quality bt headphones and found this it. Regular wireless headphones have so much static.

Thanks for that: just tried it, and it is fiddly, that's for sure.
I also found that although you can almost get audio in sync, in XBMC, it seems to drift, so the more you play, the further out of sync it goes - I guess this will be fixed in a future release.

Well I'm not sure, it seems watchable on my HTC Desire with MX player when I tried it just now, the audio delay on that is roughly 0.2 secs - you can't notice it unless you tried to.
Even a generic search on Google such as "bluetooth audio delay" brings up a few results, mostly to the Asus transformer. And funnily enough the Nexus 7 is an Asus device so I'm wondering if there's a relation in the BT hardware used. Not good.

Works GREAT for me. I encode the video (x264 video & AAC audio) myself with Handbrake and use the STOCK video player. No issues.
Just tried
STOCK no issues
MX no issues
Dice no issues
BS audio lag
I use a MW600, there is no delay when using Dog Catcher to watch mp4 podcasts.

I bet it's different when you playback an SD encoded file e.g. Xvids, have you tried one?

xvid is a thing of the past and scene release no longer supported.
Stock player SD xvid .avi does not play
Stock player SD (new scene format x264 MP4) No issue
Dice SD xvid .avi No issue
MX SD xvid .avi Lag
BS SD xvid .avi Lag
So if you want to play xvid bluetooth Dice does the job.
Thanks for the Handbrake details.
I'd also be interested to see whether Jelly Bean exhibits this blue tooth audio delay.

That matches my experience 100%, I have to use Dice Player too for SD content.
Yeah I should move on from xvid but still got a lot of older content to get through first!

Windows. It's quite possible I did something wrong. I'm also using an Asus Infinity, and your settings were tested on Nexus 7, weren't they?
I'm new (as in, yesterday) to Handbrake, but it looks like you can export/import profiles - perhaps you could export your profile and I could try that? Would be good to have something which others can import and use to get around this problem. I'm still hoping Jelly Bean might somehow miraculously fix this bug.
I have lag with the bs player but the stock player and the player with es explorer play mp4s off my flash drive with no lag.I am using a Samsung hs3000 headset.
There must be a media player that allow audio-video sync to be set manually. To the millisecs. Is there?
