Unless someone suggests otherwise, I am going to install milesmowbray's TCPMP from http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387.
This is a cab file, so it will install software, yes? Once it is installed, do I need to do anything to set it up?
I have skunkworks flash video bundle. Any suggestions for something better? Is there anything I have to do to set this up as well?
Thanks!
Is this only for youtube? If so, search for youtubeplay. Much better.
Instead of TCPMP?
Yea if you only want to watch Youtube videos then yes Youtubeplay is faster/easier. If you want to watch more than youtube than tcpmp is a better option. I also recomend Youtubeplay and guess what its made by milesmowbray (great developer).
Now that is a cool app. Any need for TCMP and/or a flash bundle?
with flash video bundle you can save vids to your phone, i have not seen this with youtubeplay
You can save with youtubeplay
sweet, guess i should dig deeper b4 posting, sry my bad

The skin is one. It's more beautiful.
how about playback features? technology features?
if i play movies at fullscreen, the skin wont matter
thanks for the input though, eaglesteve.

I get the feeling that TCPMP is better technology wise, as it can play flash video at least. This is ironic, as the commercial version should have been the more capable one.
hallo, interesting,
i use tcpmp for best video player,
fyi,, video *.dat just rename to *.mpg
then play in fullscreen, very easy n nice, no need video-converter software
and coreplayer for audio player,
it have optimal equalizer than tcpmp,

You need a license from adobe which they did not want to pay for (coreplayer). tcmp is not quite legal.

Don't understand?! "Not quite legal" equals "illegal" or "legal"?
i think that means "illegal" lol.
I think the Flashvideobundle was created by some enterprising soul to help us without strict regard for the legality of the process - no doubt someday someone will do the same for coreplayer but obviously I would never use it as it is not legal....
for those that follow the history behind...
TCPMP is Coreplayer, but that was during the Alpha and Beta stage.
once the product became 1.0 it turned into CorePlayer, so it stopped being free.
many software you find in Sourceforge.net usually starts free, then after much help from the public on feedback, code fix, etc, they turn it into a released product, and forever the source code is forgotten in the past.
I use TCPMP for youtube videos, it would have been nice if the guy on treocentral that did the flashvideobundle had made it easy to add other flash sites to the mix so youtube wouldn't be the only one supported. (I used to use TCPMP for everything video and audio wise)
I use corplayer for video and and audio, internet radio streams (supports a lot of streams tha TCPMP doesn't). It would have been nice if it was skinable though (it prolly is but don't think so, never really checked it out).
Things have changed since I last posted. Now I definitely much much prefer coreplayer rather than TCPMP. For those of you still not aware, you can use Coreplayer to search for and stream youtube directly without having to download and save the flv file first. The streaming speed and picture quality is very good.
FYI

yeah, but coreplayer can't compare to TCPMP's youtube quality. Do the comparison for yourself, download a video with subtitles with CorePlayer and try to read it, then do the same with TCPMP and see which is better.
No TCPMP on Athena X7510 Original ROM
It is not working on my new Athena X7510 with WM6.1 original rom. It gives an crush.txt error.
I've tested 0.72 an 0.81 version. Any help?

I tested the performance of the two using a video I've downloaded.
Both were set to play the video in raw frame buffer, highest quality.
Result:
Coreplayer: 105.95%
TCPMP: 89.5%
Visually I could not detect any difference, but if we go by the benchmark, then coreplayer wins.

My friend I stream my youtube videos, it would make little sense for me to download them on my computer and then watch them on the phone. I find that tcpmp gives me the best youtube quality. I will give you a a video to try.
install tcpmp and the flashvideobundle plugin, then search youtube (full youtube not mobile youtube) with pocket IE for bleach 166 part 1/2 or part 2/2 and watch with tcpmp, click on the video and play.
then use coreplayer youtube and search for that same video and see which gives the best viewing experience.
truth the be told I had problems with core player just to start viewing the video even though I'm over my home wifi connection, all coreplayer did for me was mainly buffer and more buffering.
tcpmp played fine and crisp (I got a little buffer over 3G though, but once I give the video a 10 or 15 seconds before I hit the play button at the beginning there is no problem).

it seems you're trying to run the old tcpmp on WM6.1, you'll have to get the recompiled version that works for WM6.1

make sure you get the flashvideobundle plugin too
Hello there Community,
I have been reading alot of these forums and on the web.
Atm using Energy 26june 23569 with 2.10.50.28_2 (best for me).
Now i want to convert some VOB (Dvd) movies/files to the best suitable extention to play fullscreen on the HD2 (i can for example make .wmv with moviemaker).
The problem is, when i convert a file of 100MB to MP4 642*480 i CAN watch them fullscreen in the default CAMvidplayer (dunno how its named), without any problem .. but when i code a vid to 1.5gb mp4, it hangs on video, and only plays sound.
Hope someone can help me with this and give me a few good instructions/links to do so.
Dont know if this topic is in the right forum though, sorry if it isnt.
Thanks!

Thread moved to Q&A.
Please post there if you have a question in the future.
Mark.
Ahh sorry, stupid of me i didnt even see the Q&A
there is a program called mp4hd mate it was made for the original HD but there is an extra file with it to add settings for hd2 give that a try its here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478050
I always split fulllenght movies into 2 parts, cause file above 1.5g
tend to have hiccups every 5-10min (5sec freeze).
But i never have a full picture freeze.
What bitrate are you using?
What codec are you using?
I use h264 codec around 1600kb.
Get your hands on a program called Coreplayer.
And as for converting, try to convert to 800 by 480 as that is the devices resolution. Anything below will become choppy, above isn't bad but it may cause stuttering during playback.

Same qeustion here
Wish it can be fullscreen
I've sucessfully converted several videos and full length movies to mp4 to play on my hd2 using VLC, I noticed though it's important to make sure to select a maximum resolution of 720p. Still looks good on the screen, plays full screen and no stutters or freezes. Hope that helps.
I use "Any video Converter", for all my devices, here are a few reasons why I like it...
It's really easy to trim off the beginning and the ending of videos in the apps built in player to make the videos shorter and smaller.
Remember's my custom settings
Choose my Frame Rate, Video Bitrate, Video Framerate.
Many settings with the audio choices.
Can Place multiple files to convert one after the other.
It's free and they keep updating it regularly.
Video Conversion
I used "Format Factory" to convert some AVIs for the HD2. Not only do they play now they play in HTC's video player just like Transformers. Different settings and a few different resolutions and they all seem to play just fine...
"Format Factory" is free and a small download.
Vectre
Sorry guys I know this has been asked in various guises and people debate the access to subtitles and ac3 filter.
I currently use TCPMP on my phone so that my young son can watch movies on it when we travel (cartoons etc)
It was fine until I recently tried to upgrade the netdrg version (one that I like and seems to work nice out of the box) to v2.1 and I have had some problem.
Doing to do a ROM upgrade over Xmas so trying to decide what software I want to install on it, what looks to keep and what to bin etc.
Ignoring the cost aspect and bearing in mind the purpose is to watch (say) Kung Fu Panda in full screen mode, is there any benefit of one over the other:
-ease of use; quality of playback etc?
Specifically I would probably look to use Netfrg v2. (once I can find a solution to the skin problem) vs Coreplayer 1.36 (latest version I think)
Both Coreplayer and TCPMP don't use hardware acceleration, so it may be worth using Windows Media Player.
You can use this converter to get the files into a format WMP can play, it also supports HD inputs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
As per your original question, TCPMP is free but Coreplayer seems to have more settings and supports streaming from myplayer (which I use to watch live TV).
I've not noticed any particular difference in quality, it just depends on the quality of the original file I suppose. As for ease of use, they're pretty much the same I think. All the basic functions you need are on the main player screen and they both support playlists.
A couple of notes about Coreplayer I've noticed though, it has single click pause enabled by default so if you try changing between full screen/normal mode it keeps pausing it. Also, repeat is on by default. These are both minor points and can be changed in the settings menu.
Hope that helps.
Many thanks.
Re-encoding takes and age and it is much easier to drag and drop avi files on the SD card to watch on the fly which is why I have not bothered with the WMP option to date
I recommend you using any build of android, then use the rockplayer, the version for the Arm v7, it works flawlessly and accept any type of media.
good to know thanks.
Android dual boot is pencilled-in after the upgrade to WWE 3.14
music takes up too much space on my phone..
what aac converter do you suggest for music transfers to phones?
it must preserve the tags in mp3s. the artworks etc

definitely, i found a gui for nero aac called lamexp.
nero aac needs to be downloaded separately, it's very easy to use,
supports multi thread and multi processor so that makes it very fast too..

Hi to all. I have a video done with MiniCM7 and X10 mini pro. When i was recording, the Camera app crashed and now the video doesn't play. How to recover it? I tried with HD Video Repair Utility and hex editor (to insert index values) but doesn't work. The video is big 138MB.
Thanks
I'm not sure you can, all the relevant information is only written to the file when you stop recording, right now you only have raw streams.
Don't know if it's possible to extract the raw video and audio streams, and use them in a video editor. I usually use AviDemux to tinker with video.
I tried with avidemux but nothing... Do you know some program who take raw video data and transform it in mp4?
Maybe try feeding it into VLC player, if that can't handle it i don't think there's anything that can, but i must honestly say i don't have high hopes for your file.
VLC doesn't play the file... then, can i delete the file???
That is up to you to decide I wouldn't think it's worth keeping around if you can do nothing with it, but then, maybe the content has some meaning for you and someone someday may find a solution...
