Hi.
I have tried tcpmp/corelayer and it doesn't quite work, i can live with the directdraw/raw framebuffer, but i can not live withy video not being able to pause. My conclusion is that it has something to do with the Audio, if I set audio to null/disabled the video plays perfect! (pause and so on works!)
But who can watch a movie without the sound?!?!
So my question is, does it exist any other player that can atleast handle vmw and mp4 (ipod format)??
I am trying POcket Player 3.1 right now, but it is nearly the same player as Windows Mobile Player. It experiences the same problems that the builtin windows player does. so i want something else.,..
any ideas?
EDIT: The problem with Coreplayer/TCPMP seems to have vanished with the new update to AKU3.3 that was released some hours ago. So now i can see my movies!
i have now tried tcpmp with ATI Image and IT SEEMS TO WORK!
there are some distortion in fullscreen mode (with ATI Imageon Decoder), but look at the benchmark!, nothing! just plain and simple RAW POWER!!
Benchmark with ATI Imageon Decoder:!!!!! (little blocks apears)
Average speed: 296,42%
Datarate: 1,3 MBIT/s
Benchmark With ATI Imageon: (all fine)
Average speed: 172,32%
Datarate: 740kbit/s
Benschmark with Direct Draw: (all fine)
Average speed: 117,76%
Datarate: 627kbit/s

I have the same problem with tpcmp it doesn't works fine. I've also tried Smart movie but it doesn't find the codecs. Any suggestion?
PD: Thanx cybertron for your fabulous hack of bt mono sound!
Where 3.3 AKU?
Where is this 3.3 AKU update you mention?
Hi,
Got my Xperia X1 the other day, I have got Coreplayer Mobile as well as the WMP on the phone. I have copied the videos I took with my Nokia N95 to the memory card Ive got in the Xperia.
However when it comes to playing them WMP will play them but it stutters alot with the sound being ahead of the video. In coreplayer there is no video only sound.
Any of you guys got any suggestions to get the video playing smoothly. The videos are .mp4.
Thanks
Try to set in Videosettings QTv Display, here I get a picture and it works ok, not the promissed 30 fps but arount 20 fps with a HDTV Movie.

Then I don't have any more ideas. Perhaps it'll help trying TCMP instead of Coreplayer?!
Found this on Coreplayers website:
CE/Windows Mobile/PocketPC/Smartphone

- Does not support the Qualcomm MSM7200 QTv chipset (we only support the MSM7500)

Is anyone running Coreplayer? Is there anything better?
I've tried to find a resolution/bitrate which gives me smooth video without stuttering and dropouts. I've tested on CorePlayer with DivX and native mp4 codecs.
With a resolution of 400x240, 25fps, 1100kBit/s I get a picture without dropouts and a benchmark around 105%.
If I go higher in resolution I start getting dropouts.
I've set the CorePlayer to Microdrive mode and doubled the size of the buffer to increase the speed when reading from the memory card.
I've tried to copy the clip to the phone memory, but with the above settings I see no difference.
My conclusion is that if you want a smooth picture, don't go above the mentioned resolution. It won't give you that crisp picture, but I get more annoyed when the film is stuttering than getting a HD resolution on a 3" display.
I have no problem seeing mp4 on the CorePlayer though. But if I uncheck the "TyTN II driver mode" in QTv Display settings, I get only sound, no picture, despite the MSM7200 chipset . Don't know if the Nokia's format differs from the one I have used (Cucusoft Ultimate DVD).
Is there anyone else who manages getting a higher picture quality without any dropped frames?
Got this from the Coreplayer forums:
'We are on the verge of the v1.3 bug fix release that addresses many of the current issues including those diamond users running WM 6.1...... however it does not address the QTV issues since there is nothing we can control there other then to express our dismay to both HTC and Qualcomm for not opening up the GPU.
Hey... we've been here before.... lets hope for a more open solution soon enough.'
I wonder what SE's position is on this? Apparently it's meant to have a decent GPU but what's the use if we can't use it? I know one or two people here have contacts with SE - anybody wish to find out?
Praying for hardware supported video playback...
but they said that X1 uses ATI GPU not Qualcomm!
Another lies from SE?
Hey guys, i know this is abit off topic, but has any of you guys had the problem were you install core player, then play a video, and then you exit and go back into it and you the the message "cannot validate the serial number/user ID"? i have uninstalled and reinstalled heaps of times, tried different serial numbers, but it happens all the time use it once, and then the message comes up when you go back into it.

Why do you have multiple serial numbers?
Surely it's one Serial per IMEI?

for real ? 640x480 24FPS at 800kbs is really laggy for me when playing in CorePlayer using QTV Video Output.

The ATI graphics chip is a part of the qualcomm chipset.

Says who, I haven't seen any info about it, any links please.
Of course the qualcomm chip has indeed 3D hardware acceleration but I don't know if it is ATI.
unbelieveable how unprofessional are they! 1st the RAM debate, and now this; not to mention that bad launching and availability.
It is rather disappointing. Even the fish panel is hardly super smooth, leading me to wonder if even that uses the GPU acceleration.
I really do hope SE allow and encourage developers to tap the GPU of the X1 otherwise its little better than all the other WM phones.
I have hope that someone with a reputation like SE will see the sense supporting the developers. The "write something for the panel" is not good enough. The radio is a panel and as the panel is like the home screen, anything on it is turned off when I navigate away from it including the radio.
I really do hope they do not turn out to be as bad as networks like T-Mobile which can't be bothered to support HTC rebranded phones even if its got their name stuck on them.
after using it for 3 days it is now clear that the panels just use low res screenshots and no live data. They dont even update them, i live in germany and when accessing panels the screenshot says New York etc until it finally updates.
So for the panels just being low res screenshots (that must be only some KBs per panel) the performance is horrible and laggy. Cant believe they use any form of hardware acceleration for that either.

If the video is encoded in H.264 it's going to be lagging full on. Half of the frame will get dropped. Playing 720x400 24FPS at 1Mbps encoded with XviD on the other hand is smooth and not a single frame is dropped. I've tested this with TP.
Does anyone know how to change the default streaming video player to Coreplayer?
It's very annoying when browsing and the Streaming Player kicks in rather than Coreplayer. I've associated 3gp, mpeg4, etc. with CP but doesn't seem to make any difference.
Good afternoon!
I have the following problem: performance of my screen graphics while in full screen (ie movie, games) is rather slow. I have CorePlayer installed and it has a major FPS drop when there is a fast picture change in a movie. I've increased alot buffer allocation and put some settings that could ease the situation. I should note, that it happens only to movies that are not encoded before transferring to phone (they remain as is).
Also, I am unable to use QTv option as it gives me sound output only and my screen remains black.
Experience pretty slow graphics in games too.
If you could help me a bit with this problem, I would really appreciate it!
ROM: R2AA008 UK, but had same problem with previous version (R1AA017).

Good Afternoon,
please make sure you read one of the many many threads on this!
coreplayer DOES NOT support hardware playback on our devices at the current time..
Thank you for your reply.
I did a research already and all I found was that there is expected to be "better" support of QTv in v 2.0 of coreplayer. I assume better means that it is still working on current version.
Anyway, QTv is just a mere problem. The main problem when using any other type of video drawing, ie DD.
Also, I did not find much information about having slow graphics on X1. All I found were tweaks (some of which I have applied) and general performance issues, which I don't have.
If you would be so kind to address me to the right topic where the solution/discussion was mentioned, I'd appreciate it.
Best playback now is to convert the video into mp4 using HTC HD convertor (easy to find here) .. and then to play it in media panel or WMP. You can play movies in 800x480 totally smooth like that.
Second option is to use Core Player 1.3 with qTV .. but you will rarely find movie which will play at 100% with no conversion. Anyway CorePlayer is lot slower, which is easy to compare if you let it play those mp4 which play great in WMP.
Then there is TCPMP .. but that will hardly play anything any good.

scroll down or press page 2 (or maybe even page 3 as repeated threads like these push everything back) and you'll see there's at least two threads started by nawfalah, from the last week.
Managed to enable QTv support without decoding.
Thanks for your replies fards, Dr.Sid.
Still give it a try. It's really much better with conversion.
i use itje's touch-it 3.5 rom and im using coreplayer and i havent converted a dvd-resolution movie and it runs buttery smooth on my x1. its file type is .avi
hai- i have installed the coreplayer 1.32. everything is fine ^^

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...
Ok so first please dont writte comments like it is a cheap phone and stuff...
Now the problem - playback of video files (avi, xvid and most important straming media)
So i have tryied some video players to play avi files and the video i so slow plays with very very slow frame rate and audio is horrible. Recently tryied to play straming media (some tv chanels i want to watch) the same. It runs the software but its horrible.
So the question: Is there some way around that? Some magic light-weight player or something else?
HTC Wildfire
Cyanomogen latest stable
tryied with overclocked CPU to 701 when i tryied to the max setting 768 phone crashed needed to recovery ROM.
So please if someone has some advice i would be very grateful

Sorry couldn't resist but seriously you get what you pay for!

Try overclocking to 729mhz. That seems the most stable for me.
More importantly download an app called QQ player from the market. Plays most files without a hitch.
If you're streaming tv well personally I have not tried. Move your phone as close to the router as possible and see whether its a speed related issue. If It's not I don't think there's much you can do.
Hope this helps
