Hi, I just was wondering if the galaxy sII could play .m4a (alac lossless) files or if there is any app that enables it. Thank you
I think .m4a support is built in android
See: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

Mhm, he's right. No matter what, you should be able to play your .m4a on any Android phone.
I don't know, but I saw the audio specification at the samsung website and it isn't alac support
MP3, OGG, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB
AMR-WB, WMA, WAV, MID, AC3, IMY, FLAC, XMF
Well ALAC uses an mp4 container to store its audio data and according to this, http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html Android supports .m4a.
ok,in that table m4a container is supported but alac codec isn't
alac isn't the same codec as AAC

True. Also it was stupid of me thinking android would support a format of apple. (I bet they would get sued by apple for patent infringement)
Anyway while googling I found that there is an app playing ALAC files. It's called andLess. I don't know if it's in the android market but you can download in the internet like appbrain.com
thank you. that solves my problem because part of my music library is in m4a

This is just my personal build that works best for me. Made up of mostly old but a small percentage of new components from BIMBAM & LBE TEAM. Comes with 2 players. One plays FLV, FLV4, RMVB, the other player will not play these but will play MPEG2, VCD, SVCD, DVD & CINEPAK. Both players will play WMV, SVQ1/SVQ3, MP4, AVI, MPEG and many more common audio and video formats. I use one player as my main player cause it handles most formats except MPEG2 & CINEPAK. Both players are skinable.
TIPS:
Some QT files will play if the extention is changed from QT to MOV or AVI
VOB & DAT files will play if extention is changed to MPG. If the codec is MPEG1 they will play in Both players. VOB & DAT files are MPEG1 & MPEG2 videos so all will play.
No build of TCPMP will play FLV files that use the H.263 OR H.264 codecs but other files that use that use the H.263 & H.264 codecs will play.
The LYRIC plugin works very well. All you have to do is put the LRC file in the same folder as the MP3 and make sure the file names match and the lyrics for that song will play automatically when the song starts. The lyrics will not show if the MP3 has album art.

do you mind to send one to [email protected]
I can't access it due to company's firewall
By the way, is your new rmvb plug-in used in this one? Or should I update after install this one?
Thank you very much.

I tried sending it but my Yahoo! is not letting upload attachments for some odd reason. U might want to ask a friend to download. Sorry I will try again in the morning. It does have the new RMVB plugin.
OK I will download at home
Thank you

Hello,
Excellent work you have done, now if this program exceeds the capacity Core Player to play FLV videos, among many other formats ... Congratulations.
I am glad also that much development for Windows Mobile did not die in many cases ... thanks again.
Regards,
let's see how it works for me. i hope it doesn't crash like other tcpmp builds
great work of this build, specially for compability with MVU, now i can watch flv with fp6 codec from MVU, only problem when playing fp6 with res higher than 320x240 the video lag, hope to see fix for this codec
thanks
hello
exellent work. i am going to try it today
Great great job.
thanks
thanks..will try it out

There is lots of skins floatin around for u to choose from. I personally do not use skins for TCPMP. I use it for one purpose, to watch videos. I think the simple look of TCPMP stands out against skined players.

Yes this is a known problem with TCPMP. FLV4 VP6 videos of a high resolution do stutter. I have found that FLV4 and WMV9 are the worst videos for TCPMP. They both have the same stutter problem. I believe it is the lack of hardware acceleration and not the codecs. Coreplayer has the same problem with WMV9 but WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER is hardware accelerated so they play very smooth.
Thanks a lot for this pack, works great for me
btw are there any players that can play FLV files that use the H.263 OR H.264 codec?

I like TMCP , Thanks
Not able to download the file from 4shared . Any mirror?
Thanks.
thanks for this version. The other TCMP version wouldn't even play MP3s for some reason on my omnia II.
However, I tried to play an internet station .pls file and it says "cannot load URL". But if I use COREPLAYER on the same .pls it plays...
also, when I turn off my screen, the music stops playing.
which of these audio formats are the best for sound quality?
I want to listen to music on my new phone and since i have the storage i would like it to sound as good as possible.
MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WAV, MIDI
WAV is the best but the largest in size. Also if you are using the stock ear piece then none of the format will make much difference.
thanks for taking the time to respond.
Much appreciated.
ur welcome. The alternative would be 192mp3 format anything below that sounds crappy to me

It's not in your list but FLAC is the best one. It is losless (same with the WAV) however still compressed so each CD takes rough a third of the size it takes if it is WAV.
.Flac is the best music format!

MIDI is not for sound recordings, it's for synthesized music. Not comparable to the others.
WAV is perfect quality, but far too large to be usable for a music collection.
Out of the usable ones, the quality is best to worst:
eAAC+, AAC+, AAC, MP3
I'm not sure if everything supports eAAC+ (AKA HE-AACv2) or AAC+ (AKA HE-AACv1), but AAC is fairly widely used these days. I wouldn't bother with MP3, unless your media is already in that format. It's a very old format, and has been improved on several times. It's a legacy codec, not a current standard.
And FLAC is supported by PowerAmp on Android... Probably other music players too.
pity there is no gapless playback yet for flac.
I recently received an invite for playon later. It allows you to download tv shows and watch them later. I want to put these videos on my 10.1 but the files are a .plv which I had not heard of. Anyone know how to convert these or get them to play on my Tab?
I'm with you
Just signed up myself for playon Later. Since I went full time with Netflix I cannot get movies though Playon. I hear it has something to do the the app since other resources through playon work fine.
Anyway. the .plv opens in windows media player and I'm attempting to use one of my converter programs to convert the file. So far, the files cannot be open even after changing the extension to .wmv.
I know a professional PLV Converter and PLV Player. It can help convert PLV files to AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MOV, FLV, VOB, MKV and other video formats. The nice PLV Converter can also convert PLV to MP3, WAV, WMV, FLAC, M4A, OGG, AU, AAC, AC3, AIFF and more audio formats. In addition, it can convert among more than 160 video and audio formats with HD even 4K video quality and fast speed. The PLV conversion software is also a nice video editor for you to merge, trim, crop PLV videos, rotate PLV files, add/remove watermark/subtitles, adjust audio channels, increase video and audio volumes and more.
Find it by google search "How to Convert PLV to AVI, MP4, MP3, 3GP, FLV, WMV for Playing with PLV Converter and FLV Player?".
.plv files are from a platform game Prince of Persia and are regarded as a great leap forward in the quality of animation. Sometimes PLV files can also standard for Digital Foto Maker File.
PLV files are not widely supported by modern devices. You need to convert PLV files to common formats with a professional PLV Converting Tool.
You may use Cicever PLV Converter. It can solve your PLV file trouble easily.
Hi,
I wanted to play a video recorded by SGS2 in .mp4 format, but it looks like nothing out there can support it. It plays without any problems on the phone, but VLC, WMP and even WinAmp can't recognize the codec used. My question is - what is the video codec and is there anything that can play/convert it?
The *.MP4 file is a wrapper that binds both the video and audio + subtitles file.
Depending on the resolution, it can also be a *.3GP file.
*.MP4 usually uses H.264 video compression and AAC for audio format.
*.3GP stores video streams of H.263 or AVC/H.264 format, and AMR audio format.
In Windows 7, H.264 is supported without requiring to install any codecs.
3GP however is not supported in Windows 7.
If you are using Windows XP, you not only need the H.264 codec, you also need a MP4 splitter. As for 3GP, you need a codec for that as well.
Haali Media Splitter is useful for both MP4 and MKV files as a splitter.
FFDShow is a great all in one codec package for H.264, x.264, H.263.

Video codec: H264 MPEG4 (AVC)
Audio codec: MPEG AAC (mp4a)
I have no problem to play my mp4 files recorded by using my SGS2 with VLC.
Maybe you should check for an update of your VLC media player.

Does anyone know what codecs and audio bitrates are supported by this device?
I'm having a heck of a time getting some videos to have sound whatsoever. I continue to re-encode the audio but still haven't gotten sound.
I know that it supports lots of containers (AVI, MKV, MP4, etc.), but I cannot find specifics on what video codecs and audio codecs/bit-rates are supported for playback.
Any input is appreciated.
I copy directly from the Prime Manual.
Decoder
Audio Codec : AAC LC/LTP, HE-AACv1(AAC+), HE-AACv2(enhanced AAC+), AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MP3, FLAC, MIDI, PCM/WAVE, Vorbis, WAV a-law/mu-law, WAV linear PCM, WMA 10, WMA Lossles, WMA Pro LBR

Each player also uses their own codec, that's the thing about Android.
You can also contact the player maker, and let them know of your problem and ask them for implmenting codec or other.
With Mx video player you can set it up to play audio via software while the video plays through hardware. You should rarely ever need to encode when using that player.
Do your videos have sound when played back on the PC?
I guess to MX video player it is very good.
