Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out what the problem with TCPMP and youtube was for a while and finally got it.
For those that don't know, the way PIE works with TCPMP is that PIE creates a video.m3u file inside \PROGRAM FILES\TCPMP which TCPMP then opens. video.m3u contains the URL of the FLV file that you pull off from youtube... (m3u files are simply playlists)
Since youtube changed the format of its URL, it has gotten significantly longer.
TCPMP has a hard limit of 256 bytes (characters) on the URL. So, what happens with the new URL is that it often exceeds the 256 byte limit, and TCPMP will only read it UP TO the 256 byte. Anything after 256 bytes is LOST and that's why you get "could not open URL"
Example:
Youtube video of half life live action thingee:
Code:
http://v15.lscache4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag&itag=5&ipbits=0&sver=3&expire=1243450800&key=yt1&signature=0FD79ABE8B1527FBDCCA117F163434544DD5226F.412B317466B85C5F1DEC05B615B47F264F845325&id=ab550f304982a99a
Length = 263, I get the error. Can't play video.
same video, but instead, I edited the video.m3u file and manually resolved the domain name (v15.lscache4.googlevideo.com = 74.125.167.35)
Code:
http://74.125.167.35/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag&itag=5&ipbits=0&sver=3&expire=1243450800&key=yt1&signature=0FD79ABE8B1527FBDCCA117F163434544DD5226F.412B317466B85C5F1DEC05B615B47F264F845325&id=ab550f304982a99a
Length=248 and the video plays
I've found the solution!!!!!!
For those interested, here is the version that I used:
TCPMP new VS2008 builds for WM6.1 with FLV built in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387
I took that source, opened it in Visual Studio 2008 (freaking 3GB download from MS!!) and started snooping around.
Modified the following files:
interface/win32/playlst.c -> replaced all values of '256' with '1024'
interface/win32/win_win32.c -> replaced all values of '256' with '1024' (except the one that says 256*1024... on my source, it's line 2598)
common/portab.h -> replace MAXPATH 256 with MAXPATH 1024 (line 260)
The resulting files are now here! -
http://rapidshare.com/files/237840222/tcpmp-0.72rc1-fixed-youtube-05-27-2009-invar.rar
The bad news is this:
- I have no idea how to put stuff into a self install CAB, so the file I uploaded to rapidsdhare is ONLY the three files that were necessary. You MUST install a CAB version of 0.72RC1 from elsewhere (preferably the same version in this thread that was posted.)
- Also, the version of 0.72 RC1 I used does NOT install the PIE videoloader.dll (aka flashvideobundle), so if you completely uninstalled any preexisting version of TCPMP and installed the one posted here, you MUST reinstall flashvideobundle which is not really a problem, just an extra step. Here's a link for it! (google for 'flashvideobundle 1.4.4' if the link dies... there are plenty of sites)
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Video/FlashVideoBundle-64991.shtml
Anyway, if someone knows how to package this into a CAB or something, feel free to go ahead and do it and then post it. It appears to be working great so far, and I hope I didn't screw anything up.
Feedback appreciated, and enjoy nice high quality FLV youtube once again!
edit: There is now a nice CAB version available here that has incorporated my changes!

All you have to do is install the CAB version posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387
And then from my file, extract those files to \program files\tcpmp and overwrite.
That's it!
Oh, and you need the flashvideobundle.
edit: there's also a CAB version that incorporates my changes, available here now!

Could you do your magic but using the subtitle plugin source to build the common.dll and interface.plg?
That plugin works in a very non optimal way (using those files is not the best idea... still it's the only subtitle plugin available). To test it notice the plugin only works in GDI video mode.
i figured it out. give this a shot. don't hold me responsible!
www.crimetank.com/misc/tcpmp-subtitle.rar
link is no good - cant access it for some reason =/
but its coo i just overwrite files
ok, it said failed to find pie - the videoloader.dll error
it also said link is invalid so maybe it has something to do with my cooked rom cuz links should be fine since u updated it
i do have flash 3.1 installed so let me remove and see how it goes
nope no good probably cuz cooked rom? i duno how they work but if it installs in program files/tcpmp then it should be fine as im overwriting the files
Just got a new Elocity A7. Chose it because I wanted something light that I could use as an e-reader, web-surfer and photo storage device (needed a real USB port). I'm an experienced pc user, but don't know anything about Android.
Based on online reviews, I applied the Dexter mods v 1.41. Now I can no longer access my sd card. When I try, I get a message that the filemanager has stopped unexpectedly. The only choice I am given is a forced close.
Also, originally the usb drive worked fine. Now, when I plug in my thumbdrive, it says there are no files when I know there should be.
Assuming I can get this to work, I would like a decent e-reader and file manager.
The e-reader that was included, FBreader, can't open the epub file I downloaded from the library. (Yes, I tried redownloading to make sure it wasn't a download error.) What do you suggest?
Finally, I would like to transfer groups of photos from my digital camera to the sd card via the usb port. Is there an app for this? (No, I can't just put the sd card in my camera because it's an old digital SLR that used compact flash storage, not micro sd.)
I see this is an active forum and would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
Hoe closely did you follow the install directions? Wipe/factory reset, clear cache?
Aldiko (I think that is how its spelled) comes stock and is a decent ereader
Did you apply the patches after you installed 1.41?
If not that's a good place to start.
Thanks. I downloaded Dexter's mods from this page dext3r.komodin.org/ (wouldn't let me include http since I'm a new member) and didn't see any patches there for version 1.41. Do you have a link to the patches?

First page of the elocitymod thread in) he a7 development area of this forum.
Using Verygreens size agnostic cm7 sd card bootable.
Installed mobo to watch movies and would like to increase the audio .
Have installed Danlingrins color tweaks and would appreciate the correct dalingrin overclock kernel link please
I would post a link but it looks like they are down. Anyways for cm7.0.3 the latest kernel for that would be the 4242011 sd kernel. Make sure its the sd version.
I did answer this in one of the post, sorry, can't remember the post, left alone the link.
Basically, the latest of Dalingrin work is 063001
Deleted Post--Bad info!
Misinformation
Guys he says he is on cm7.0.3. Dals latest kernels only work on nightlies and cm7.1 when is released that use the new uboot. The latest build that works for 7.0.3 is the 04242011 kernel which is based on the 2.6.29. Dals latest kernels are based on 2.6.32 which needs the new uboot to work. Read his post it says this on op.

You are right sir. I forgot about the new uboot being added for the RC1 and newer nightly's! It's all a blur really........................
Don't worry I forget a lot of things lol just trying to prevent problems for others
Finally found a link
Is this the correct download for the cm7 3.0.1
update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-042411ext4.zip 22-May-2011 19:57 4.3M
But its not suitable for what I want to do I think
I read through the linked post how far away is the stable cm7.1
Also the nook color tweaks state for audio settings you will need a newer 2.6.32 kernel found in cm7 nightly 88+ or my darlingrins6/9/11 overclock kernel for B and N froyo and cm7 from 6/9/11 . So the above 042411 wont do the job ?
Sorry I was focusing on the overclocking and forgot that the audio was your main concern. Anyways then yes you will need newer kernel version I believe to get the results you want. The lastest nightlies have been pretty good lately and have dals kernel preinstalled. There is already a release candidate for 7.1 so it shouldn't be too much longer for a stable release.
So inshort, to achieve your goal you can flash the release candidate for 7.1 or try the latest nightlies. Just make a back up of your current setup and give it a go. If you experience any problems you can always go back.
Thanks I backed up the cm7.03 to my computer, I downloaded the latest cm7.1 and copied to the sd card , I have gone into recovery but the new update hasnt installed. Not sure what I have done wrong . The cm7.0.3 didnt have a multi boot , I dont know whether I read somewhere that I have to upgrade the u boot file first ?
Any help would be appreciated thanks
Hmm idk but if you have a non rooted Nook Color and just run cm7 off the sd card your Nook should already have the new u-boot, assuming your Nook is already on B&N software 1.2. Is it?
"I have gone into recovery but the new update hasnt installed."
Any error message displayed?
This is the file I downloaded update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32beta3.1zip
however on some thread searchs this file comes up update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip
perhaps I have the wrong file ?
A link to the correct file would be appreciated .
When I go into menu amd down to tablet it sayes that it is version 7.0.3 on my nook .
The only error message I got was on the home screen above my icons and it had problem loading widget .
Yes I have got stock on the internal, it is only runnning off sd card . I only purchased the nook a month ago so I am assuming it is the latest B&N os
Thank you for any help it is appreciated I apologise in advance for the late replies ( Its 1 am here in Australia and I have too get the kids off to school in the morning so I probably wont reply for another 8 hours . )
Make sure to really read verygreens post. He has an updated installer for the newer versions(I think 1.3 is correct)

Thank you votinh , yes that is where I downloaded the second update from for the cm7 ..

Now I have tried down loading this from the link below for the past couple of days, but there doesnt seem to be a file there to download
•Get update zip from http://crimea.edu/~green/nook/update-genimage-1.3.zip
I am assuming this is the updated imager ????
So I need both of these on the sd card to update to the cm7.1.0 ?

When I clicked on your link I was prompted to download a file, so the link does seem to be working.

Yes you will need both files. Verygreen says that you can place both the updated image and the cm7 files in your boot partition and it will update your image and cyanogenmod together. You have to boot into recovery with the hard buttons though cuz the reboot into recovery option isn't supported.
Thank you dabiddabird I will try now.
I just purchased an Elocity A7 and updated the firmware to 2.0134 and applied Dexter's Elocity 1.42 mod.
Everything seems to be working great, I can get to the marketplace etc. but for some reason none of the apps will go to the SD card that I have installed.
I can see the card mounted but when I go the the App to SD app the column to move to SD card (that I used in prior versions) is not on the screen.
Is this normal?, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Demi
Your procedure isn't correct, first you have to load dexter 1.41Rom then add the patch 1.42, you cannot put 1.42 ontop of the factory firmware...
Elocity did not include the option, so you cannot move apps with stock firmware...
you need the CyanogenMod released, then you get the option to do it.
Thank both of you for the prompt replies.
Should I reinstall the elocity software again, over the Dexter mod?
What does CyanogenMod mean, and how do I install? it.
Sorry, I'm not very technical.\

Original Post by Dexter_nlb
I played around with a version of the CyanogenMod7 for tegra2, and now its in a acceptable state, so you can test it too.
I have used the latest Atrix4G 2.3.4 + vega / optimus 2X to put this version together, and its based on the original elocityA7 kernel and includes modules for cifs,nfs,ext3 and ext4 support.
So although its a Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 base, kernel is still just 2.6.32.9 based, so cpu,memory and kernel related optimizations are not here.
CyanogenMod7 offers a lot of customizable features, full multilanguage and latest enhancements found for our android comparing to original stock a7 rom, you get alot more features.
Fixes in Version3 (Cyanogen7RC1ModA7-3)
- Youtube HD video fixed
- VolumeUP/VolumeDown assigned to sound&search buttons
- DSP Manager is now working, it is really to loud for internal speaker if you go full power.
- GoogleTalk app update + crash fix. (still no video working)
- USB_OTG app updated, so changes take effect immediately when you swith HOST/DEVICE mode (used to connect tablet to pc with usb-a2usb-a cable)
- Real 1080p video out with HDMI (not sure how it affect playback, it seeems just upscaled)
What is found not working right now:
- Camera photo & video recording (photo stopped when avi got enabled)
- rotation sensor is 90 wrong (in gameloft games)
- bluetooth
What is working
- Netflix runs out of the box on this one, as i made build.prop changes so it thinks its a Xoom.
- wifi networking
- sdcard , usb host/device and USB stick support.
- all features of CM7
- mkv/avi/wma/wmv hardware acc. video playback (almost seems like more avi is supported than before?)
Download http://dext3r.komodin.org/Elocity-A7/Cyanogen7RC1ModA7-3.zip
to install after just as full update, but is a kernel only update. (extract Update.zip from this zipfile to root of sdcard)

unzip the downloaded zip, and there is a zip inside named update.zip that needs to be extract and out on the root of your sd card
Thank You for the reply. It worked perfectly and now everything is up to date and working. I don't know how to press the thank you meter so here goes a double thank you...
How does the original question apply to the A7+?
I can't access card and I'm having memory issues... new thread has specifics
I was looking for a thread where to post this but thought I might start a new one since there seems to be no thread where to report bugs and such of the leaked acer ics.
So this post is dedicated for bugs report for those who use the leak posted by vache last week in order to help dev to make a fully functionnal ROM out of it.
So far here's what I've noticed since I've flsshed the cwm version on my a501:
- Sreamed video from french app "canal touch" is sluggish
- Movie Studio does not work
- Drive Mount does not auotmount external SD (probably a root problem)
- process.android.media keeps crashing
- Music on external SD is not seen by stock music app unless it is copied through USB
- Files on the externel SD are not seen by PC when connected via USB if they are not copied using the tablet USB
Hi I have installed on packard bell Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1 g100, after some days it seems there are a few bugs, some slight frezee Video What do you switch settings to the main screen with physical key, good GPS, south extarnal well, mount USB no problem with key, excellent graphics and smooth .... judgment much more than an alpha
