[ Real Player ] .CAB -----PPC ! Get it from here!

.cab file!
will play Real Media files on ur pocket pc!

Will it play rmvb video files, as well? Compression on those are outstanding.

You know... a month or so ago I spent HOURS searching for this ****ty ass real player program... and I finally tracked it down and installed it.
And then you know what...
It wouldn't even stream the damn file I wanted it to stream :evil:
I haven't ran it since I installed it.
Real's compression is all terrible.
Using pocket divx encoder to encode small avi files and playing them use tcpmp is FAR better then trying to fight with this horrid software.
Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents

what are you stalking me? lol
And I got it to stream files just fine from it's main homepage site, but when I tried to pull up real streams from other sites, it would just site there and never start playing it.
I know what I'm doing :wink:

Audio always out of sync when playing back converted video :(

How can I solve this? Ive converted using MP4ForHD and something else called encoder or something (forgot now). Yet whenever I try to play a video thats been converted for the hd2 specifically, the audio is out of sync. If doesnt happen on videos I record, just others that are converted.]
Might it be the Leo's media player? would anybody recomend using a different media player (free) for the device?
Thanks in advance

~~~BUMPETY!~~~

Please help
I used 4 convertors (handbrake, HD, MP4 and the media coder mentioned in the forum)
all of which will result in out of sync audio.. even while vieweing in computer!!!!

Annoying huh? I dont get out of sync audio on the computer, only when playing on the leo

This is a well-established bug which HTC has so far refused to acknowledge. Your best bet is for you and everybody else to keep complaining to HTC tech support until someone higher up gets to hear about it.

What annoys me is not so much the bugs but the impossibility of getting hold of anyone at HTC to tell them about them; there seems to be virtually no communication at all between "tech support" and "head office". The bugs wouldn't be a problem if we could report them and get them fixed, but there isn't anyone we can usefully report them to.

Do the videos in this link play OOS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5341496&postcount=32

As above, try setting an audio delay when encoding (if you can with whatever software you are using).
Works fine for me.

Hi, erm I think they play correctly, ( I tried the star wars one ) Its hard to tell when theres no lip movement, but yeah it seems right
So do you recomend using those settings in that single thread?
(might I ask you, what starwars thing is that? it looks so epic )

I've raised this issue with HTC support. Clips that are perfectly in sync on the Touch HD2 are out of sync on the HD2. I'll let yout know what they say.

Sure, just go along with kr00t0n's audio delay if my profiles give OOS results.
At least for me, my current setup on that thread gives me the best looking videos without too much fuss. But it also depends on the videos you feed into it. MKVs with dts/vorbis might encounter some problems....if you have those we can talk somemore.
That's Star Wars : The Old Republic iirc....upcoming video game.

Well I have a ton of mkvs lol, but Ive converted most of them to avi already so its not a problem. I tried that method, with your profile with the slight delays ect and it worked great! really high quality as well (Although I couldnt find where to change the FPS to 30)
The only problem was it took about 25 minutes to encode a 20 minute show which is pretty long @[email protected] Especially on a quad core pc

Here are some more 0.400 delayed 720p encodes:

This is why you should turn your pc on in the morning, queue up the videos, start encoding, then go to work, lol!

After some testing, I have found that the resolution of the original video needs to be factored in to the resolution used in WinMEnc.
Most videos are 1280x720, which is 16:9, but 800x480 is 16:10.
This will cause encoded videos to be stretched upwards slightly, or in the case of more cinematic resolutions (the Legion trailer is 1280x608) stretched quite a bit.
Using this website, you can find out what settings you need in WinMEnc.
Find out the original resolution and put it in the lefthand boxes.
Then put 800 in top righthand box, and calculate.
1280x608 needs 800x380 to maintain aspect ratio (no stretching).
I edited the ini to be 800:380, as you can't edit this in WinMEnc itself, save, then load.
Comparisons:
http://www.kr00t0n.com/Kjam/Legion.mp4
http://www.kr00t0n.com/Kjam/Legion800x380.mp4

no sync issues here. I use HDencoder @1000kbit Video 128kbit Audio and check Normalize Audio.
Never had a out of sync problem converting MKV to MP4.
Some MKVs contain an audio delay for specific audio tracks, which most converters cannot read. Have the same problem when converting/muxing MKVs for PS3. Maybe this is your problem here....?!

why bother converting??? just get coreplayer and play avi's....happy days??

AVI?

anyone know of a way to play avi files?

Short answer: it's in the works. There are some alpha/beta players that can play it, but my advice - wait up, it's coming.

thanks, i'll keep my eyes out...
really it will be when i pick up the EVO come summer....
wanna push my downloads from my phone to my TV...

I havent had any luck with lots of research been converting with dvdfab and handbrake

Yxflash from the market plays them... its not the greatest and framerate kinda sucks... but it does the job..

meh I just convert anything to mp4 and it plays beautifully on N1.

Convert to mp4 with handbrake, upload to server, watch when I want where I want! This thing is awesome.

Convertings for chumps.
yxflash plays them. It'll even play flv's

absolute best VIDEO player for honeycomb?

So far i have tried rockplayer and moboplayer....rockplayer had a lot of FC's because I don't think it was compatible, plus the video playback kinda sucked
I recently tried Moboplayer and it works great...even saves where you left of on multiple videos
is there anything better? Thank you

i swear by rock player, not an issue yet. Maybe try reinstalling? Other than that, what does it need to be able to play?

Yeah WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 12 / VLC MEDIA PLAYER.......

it doesn't seem to be optimized for HC...keeps FC'ing on me
Moboplayer seems to have a lot more downloads, hence popularity

I mainly use rockplayer and the stock one......

Both are made by the same dev of believe. Mobo is much better than rock however. Be sure and have the latest codec pack installed.

Mobo player doesn't dim (and by dim I mean turn them into small dots) the os buttons and time at the bottom, this is the sole reason I am considering uninstalling it, but I haven't found one to beat it yet.
Does it "dim" for anyone else?

I like the way control volume, brightness on moboplayer.

Feature-wise Moboplayer still has a lot of room for improvement. But in terms of codec support and performance (some stuff that wasn't smooth on other players played smooth as silk on Moboplayer), MoboPlayer is my favorite.

yea same here...its very neat

Mobo doesn't play very smoothly in software mode for 720p content... Unfortunately the Xoom doesn't playback enough formats natively so software mode is a necessity...

I swear by MoboPlayer as well, though sometimes I drop back to RockPlayer Lite just to see how it handles things. Love how Mobo remembers where you've left off regardless of how many movies/videos you've watched in between.
On the other side of the spectrum is mVideoPlayer, it has an awesome interface but only supports stock Xoom codecs. They recently updated to support sub/idx support for subs, but that whole stock codec only support kind of ruins it for me. I use this for any YouTube videos pulled w/ TubeMate.
I tested QQPlayer as well, it's not too bad but I was really searching for subtitle support so I could enjoy foreign flicks on the road. It didn't really offer much aside from srt support, but I figure I'll keep it in the hopes it'll see more development in terms of sub support (I believe it's developed in China or Korea, so sub support would have a higher priority).

any players allow you to make playlists? I like to fall asleep with a few episodes of stuff in the background

FWIW -- QQPlayer plays everything that I need it to play....

Vital Player is the best player on honeycomb I love you can turn the volume just using the screen.Same goes for brightness & full and widescreen.Vital Player updates regularly.

[GUIDE] CIFS Streaming fix/optimization

I use CIFS to stream video from my Windows server to my TF. Problem is that I never could get more than around 800-900KB/s even though my network is WIFI N and can push at least 2-3MB/s.
Here is a fix, using CifsManager, add under Options(eg. domain=android,ro)
directio
Now you can get around 2MB/s CIFS bandwidth. Just enough to stream high profile 720P h.264 vids and more. It really did make a huge difference on my TF. Hopefully it will help yours.

how do i add another to the options, i already got "iocharset=utf8" in my option field.

Just seperate the options with a comma....

Until someone who know comes along, I'll give you my best guess. Usually, stuff is separated with a semicolon. One of these ;
@OP, thanks for the tip!

i'm pretty sure this is correct

Just an offtopic Q: what media player are you guys using on the android side?
I can sucessfully play stuff via UPNP with no hassle, but it omits .srt files and many of my DVD rips are subtitled and UPNP players omit the subtitles files.
I'd like to try streaming via CIFS - with the help of cifsmanager I can browse the shared file directories fine, open docs on the CIFS-shared drives etc, but when it comes to streaming moboplayer and several other random players can't seem to "find" the media files when I browse, using the player interface.
I'm looking to try different players and wondered what you guys were using to sucessfully stream movies from shared drives, with.

I use Diceplayer which can decode ac3 in software and h.264 in hardware as well as tons of other formats in hardware. Also use Vplayer since it can decode damn near everything. And I have Moboplayer for good measure. Diceplayer is amazing, only player that can can do 720P HD w/ac3.

I still haven't found a player that can handle 720p MKV with DTS. AC3? Sure. But not DTS. It takes too much power to decode it would seem.

Im pretty sure diceplayer is supposed to decode 720P MKV w/DTS but I haven't got any source to try.

Confirmed. It is ****ing amazing. Well worth the coin. Regular updates, loving it.
This fix is going to make it so much better Cheers guy!

i tried comma, semi colon
but i get "segmentation fault"

edit: ok somehow i have to put directio first . working now.
how to check the transfer speed?

Hi,
I am having the same issues, but not following "edit: ok somehow i have to put directio first . working now."
Would it be possible for you to cut and paste how you entered your multi options in cifsmanager.

i typed in the options field.
directio,iocharset=utf8

We're clearly running different Transformers. DICE is only as fast as Tegra2 failware allows, and Tegra2 cannot process files with bitrate>2000, or crf<21. Which happens to be every single 720p mkv release ever made. (some, like bd based releases have bitrate of 9000).

Na, the problem is the decoding of the ac3 stream. Combine this with the cpu usage for the video decoding and 1000Mhz is not high enough for smooth playback.
I have no problem to play high Profile 720p videos with over 2000kbit and aac audio.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but i was wondering if the stock rom has the required cifs module needed for cifsmanager to run....
I'm asking because i have a rooted tf101 and when i try to run cifsmanager it says superuser permission denied....does that mean it's trying to get permission to something that isn't there aka the cifs module or is there something else wrong ??
I know i'm rooted because i just did the left speaker fix.
I've tried some other cifs connection programs too and i get the same error.
if it doesn't have what i need do i have to load a new rom that has the cifs module in it or can i just install the module

You probably need to read the logs; I know from exp that it works on Roach's Prime ROM's.
