hello all,
i have the htc polaris(touch cruise) and i installed the flashvideobundle and the TCPMP player for playing youtube video's because the streaming media player isn't so good..the first time i opend a video it was played by the TCPMP player but now its opening with the streaming video player...i looked in the option etc.. but i can't see a way to open the videos with the TCPMP player..
reinstalled bundle and core player and still it opens with streaming video player.
Does anyone have an idea how to do this.
thanks
In TCPMP going to Options->Settings, Select page->File associations and marking Flash video checkbox might help..
Do you actually browse the full desktop version of youtube or do you use the mobile version?
Clips from the mobile version are NOT flv (=flash) files but 3GP video files which always open in streaming media. Use the "Video Sites" shortcut in your startmenu to navigate to youtube. If you still end up at the mobile version, see at the very bottom, there should be a link saying something like "take me to the desktop version." It should work that way.

I tried both.with opera browser it always opens the mobile version could not get it to open de desktop version.with the regular internet browser i opend the desktop version and it stil uses the streaming media player.
Ok i found something..i used 3G to connect(before i connected with WIFI) and i was able to play the videos at the desktop version with the TCPMP player.using my wifi it plays with streaming media player.
But connected with 3G on the youtube mobile it stil uses the streaming media player..its a shame because mobile version is damn faster...
But still any recomendations are wellcome....
thanks schaggo and johnsonc
hi,
i used to have the same problem than yours it was my provider sfr that blocks streaming in daylimotion and whan i connect with wifi all works.
I have the same problem. TCMP (with flash-video-bundle) doesnt start if I click a video at http://m.youtube.com. I tried several options, but it didnt help.

Because videos on m.youtube.com are NOT FLASH VIDEO FILES, they are re-encoded to 3gp format. Every cellphone with GPRS, even the most stupid Nokia and Motorola can play 3gp files off m.youtube.com.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1 with Pocket Internet Explorer, Opera doesnt work.
If it still doesnt work: uninstall the FlashBundle, softreset, reinstall the FlashBundle (be sure to use the lastest version from their homepage) and it'll work.
Again:
m.youtube.com = stupid for all cellphones, NOT the same as regular youtube, almost no movies, re-encoded to 3gp by youtube
Opera doesnt work, it doesnt support the FlashBundle plugin
I suggest to unset Opera as default browser and then use the Video Sites shortcut in your Programs menu.
Can someone please explain to me what I need to do to be able to play Youtube videos over a Wifi connection?
Thank you

Best player around !
I have just downloaded it and tried it but no joy.
I used the Youtube link on the player and I can see the list of video categories (most viewed, rated, discussed etc) and when I click on one to play it shows the video details and a thumbnail with a small play icon in it. I click this, coreplayer goes to play it but the animated circle just keeps going around and around on the black player screen.
I specifically tried a short video of only about a minute and waited for over a minute and still nothing.
Is there something I've missed?
I've just tried and did exactly what you did and Core Player played the video I choose.
Have you tried with several videos? Maybe it was a problem with the video you choose?
@+
1. Check associations for coreplayer (RTP, RTSP Protocols)
EDIT - 2. On the Network page 'Network Access Enabled' and 'Prefer UDP streaming' have to enabled
3. Whith your favourite browser visit the mobile site of youtube, and search out your video.
4. On the video deatils page, click 'Watch Video'
5. Coreplayer should start immediately and start puffering the stream (the playlist icon on the lower right turns red)
6. After a few secs of puffering the video should start
If the puffer is too small you can adjust it size and also enable the 'Micro drive Mode'.
Got it to work through Coreplayer and youtube link by changing to H264. By the way in File Associations of Coreplayer is it better to have Select All ticked?
Gnick666 tried your suggestion through a browser but tries to use Stream Media program and not coreplayer. How do I make Coreplayer the default player or disable Stream media?
Thanks everyone for your help.
If the 2 associations I mentioned earlier are ticked, the CorePlayer should take over all streaming links.
It's not necessearly better to have all item ticked, because some ppl don't want to play their mp3 files in whith coreplayer.

Thanks a lot I'll take a look on this

I've been going nuts trying to figure out why some videos just won't show up in HTC Album, but others encoded with the exact same settings (seemingly) will.
I usually use Handbrake to do my encodes. I start with the iphone preset, then change the quality setting to 600 kbps. If it's a widescreen video, I may use the cropping to crop the content to 4:3. I change the file type from m4v to mp4 because album never seem to want to see the m4vs at all (even though I could have sworn it's supposed to).
MOST videos show up just fine, but not all. For some of them, I'll see album try to recognize them the first time I navigate to that folder. It will create a space for the video for a moment, and try to get a preview thumbnail of the video to put in it. A moment later, it will fail, and remove that video from the list entirely.
Here's the really strange thing -- if I click on the space where the video is supposed to be, right when it first shows up (before it has a chance to scan it for a thumbnail and then remove it), it will open in the fullscreen player and play just fine. If I wait a moment longer, and hit it after it's tried to generate the preview but just before it's going to vanish, i get an error saying it can't play that sort of mp4 file.
I've been using newer roms that use the blackstone (or other) album and fullscreen player packages, but I tried installing the oem album and had the same thing happen.
These files play fine in mobile wmp, and they play fine in the fullscreen player if i can trick it into opening them -- so what's the problem?
Oh, one more detail -- I've seen the same thing with other encoders, including the one that's being developed in the blackstone forum (but now has vga as an option for us non-widescreen folks).
Hi! I want HTC Video Player to be deault video player (instead of TCPMP) but I couldn't make it happen. I choosed it to be default in "open with" dialog in file explorer, but after that when I click on a video file nothing happens. Yesterday before I did this change, it could play some video files but now it doesn't. I like this tiny player, it looks handy to me. How can I make it play video files by default?
Open TCPMP. Options-Settings-Select Page-File Associations.
Remove ticks from videos you are interesting of.
I think I got it fixed, thanks Fighter. I'll have you a beer next time you're in Turkey .
Hi all
Just thought i would share my findings.
I am using MX Video Player as my video player.
I use Mizzu Movies as the front end for it - it really is very very nice and will auto get information, reviews, trailers etc etc for movies.
To convert my Blu Ray mkv files, DVD rips or pretty much anything i use DVD Catalyst on Windows 7 PC
I use the asus transformer HQ settings and select partial border removal.
Using all the above results in very nice looking movies with flawless playback.
I travel abroad quite a lot and everyone who see's me using the Asus for movies on the plane is very interested in what i have.
For Blu-rays I've found DVD Catalyst 4 to be inadequate because of sync issues. I've also read that by turning off Blu-ray Telecine will correct this issue but it doesn't. So, I had to look at other software to rip and convert my Blu-rays. Also DVD Catalyst 4 set my Kaspersky Antivirus Heuristic virus detection off and said it was performing in a way similar to a virus or trojan.
I've found that Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper works really well and is my favorite. It has video acceleration and will utilize you're AMD (app acceleration) or a NVidia video card with (Cuda technology). It's normally $39 but you can get it HERE for $23.40 with the coupon code 'SMRT-ADEK'. HERE is a guide as to what settings to use for the TF. It tends to make my videos a little less in size than Pavtube does. i.e., Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper will create a file say 2.5gb in size while Pavtube is a little higher. Also, since I have an AMD/ATI video card it will accelerate the ripping process to nearly half the time as Pavtube due to the fact that Pavtube doesn't support AMD/ATI acceleration, just NVidia Cuda technology. Also, Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper will automatically preserve forced subtitles while Pavtube you have to actually check ON a tick box for it to pick up forced subtitles. Also it has a video preview while ripping while Pavtube does not. Incidentally you can turn this feature on or off, whichever you prefer.
Another great software would be Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate which runs $65 but you can get it for $37.70 HERE with coupon code 'SOFT-K8TT'. It makes flawless videos for the TF using the XOOM settings. HERE is a guide on how. It has video acceleration just for NVidia video card. It will also let you select not only different subtitles but allows for 'Only allow forced subtitles'.
Incidentally, both rippers have built in AACS ripper technology and can even rip the new AACS-24 copy protection which is the newest copy protection format. So there is no need to also run AnyDVD HD in the background while you rip to be able to rip. A huge plus in my book.
I use either Dice Player or MX Video to play my movies in HW acceleration mode.
This is the Pavtube settings. Right click on the picture and 'Save As' to download a short single chapter MP4 file to test on your TF.
This is the Aieesoft settings. Right click on the picture and 'Save As' to download a short single chapter MP4 file to test on your TF.
cheers...
EDIT: Please read further into this thread as things have changed drastically. Thanks
I use the extremely convenient VidsOpt script for reencoding and remuxing x264/MKV. I tried out some other ripping tools like DVD Catalyst and XviD4PSP but they were cumbersome and too heavy on my system (only 2.8GHz P4/1GB RAM). After this step, there is really no reason not to use the stock player since MP4 files can be HW decoded (video and audio). If I am watching something with subtitles or the occasional XviD I will use MX Video.

What Sync issues are you referring to AcidCore? I am aware of audio sync issues if you play the created video files on a PC using Windows Media Player, but this is due to some codec-issues with WMP itself. This is also mentioned in numerous locations on my website. For device playback as well as playback using Quicktime or VLC, the files should play just fine.
As for the Kaspersky, it doesn't like it when an app is running the conversion as a separate process. I have tried to work with them, but it is easier for them to mark something than to actually unmark something. DVD Catalyst is clean.
As for the links you provided, those articles are loaded with affiliate-links, meaning that those articles are mainly written to lure people into a purchase so that the guy who wrote them gets about 50% of the purchase price for the sale.

Actually, when I ripped the movie Wanted it played just fine on WMP but on both Dice and MX the audio was out of sync with the video. I felt like I was watching a dubbed movie or something. I tried three different settings with Catalyst and I got the same thing. Also when I ripped the movie Apocalypto which the whole movie is subtitled and Catalyst overwrote the subs with some kind of font that looked like it had some type of halo effect to it. I had to enable the Booster Pack 2 in order for it to pick up the subs at all. All other movies seemed OK though.
As for the links, I bought both Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper and Pavtube at a 40% discount each which was a big plus in my book.

Did you try the stock player?
The files dvdcat creates are optimized for hardware playback on the Tegra2. While MX and Dice can play a lot more video file types, their settings can get in the way of how the file plays. Using the stock player the videos should play just fine.

What did you convert?
from Bluray using dvdcat's Bluray mode or using file-mode (just the m2ts file directly)
Besides the settings you mentioned, you also mentioned the telicine option. Are there any other settings in "Global" that you enabled?
Try resetting DVD Catalyst to its defaults:
* Make sure DVD Catalyst is not running
* Click on "START" > "RUN" (or hold down the windows-key on your keyboard and tap the "R" key)
* In the run dialog, type in:
%appdata%
and click OK
*delete the "DVD Catalyst 4" folder
After that, start dvdcat, and if you want to convert Bluray (icw AnyDVD HD or something similar), enable power user, and enable the checkmark in the Bluray tab in Global Settings.
Then just select your profile, and leave the rest of the settings as they are.
so far i have tried about 5 different methods to convert to mp4 from mkv etc
I have used dvdcat to convert about 10 movies so far and have not run into sync problems.
I have left most things on default so dont find it cumbersome at all, in fact I found it a lot easier to use than most others, i do have a quadcore 4gb windows 7 64bit system though so runs pretty fast. I use eset nod32 smart security which is a superior product to kaspersky without false positives.
I will also play around with more options in time.
Nice to see some alternative methods here though which I will also try.
Any other methods guys?

Yeah, it was the first Blu-ray that I tried to transcode. Let me try your recommendation and see what I come up with. Thanks.

You are welcome,
If you run into complications or have questions, rather than using this thread, maybe shoot me an email instead. I don't mind answering on forums, but I don't think this thread is the place for it though.
email is my username at gmail dot com.
I have to say that by taking your advice and setting things back to default that the Blu-ray rip came out perfect. It even came out smaller in size and the cropping was perfect. While most of my movies play in letterbox (black bars above and below the picture) that after ripping with DVD Catalyst and then playing in MX Video that I had no letterboxing. It played full screen. Stock video player and Dice Player both still played it in letterbox. The video setting was defaulted to 1280x720 and the video formatted out to 1280x544. There was no sync issues any more. Time to rip the movie Wanted using Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper took a little over 2 hours and the time it took DVD Catalyst to rip the same movie was just over 40 minutes. Impressive to say the least.
Video player : Built-in video player
Encoder : FFMPEG (git-latest) command line. transcoding to playable MP4 format.
I just changed my dvdcat setup to just removing black bars from the video file instead of remove partial borders and quality is now better.
Removing partial borders lowered the resolution to 1072 x 512

I always use "remove from file" (the default) myself. The other ones cut off part of the video to get more screenfill. If you use a video player other than the stock, you can usually zoom the video anyway if you want full-screen.
I've been re-transcoding my movies using DVD Cat and while the movie Underworld "Evolution" ripped perfectly using default settings Underworld did not. It's defaulted to just removing the black bars but it shoved the video to the left and it was severely cut off on the left. I looked all through the settings and couldn't find anything to fix this. Although when I went to 'Preview' the setting was defaulted to 1.33:1 and the first little picture with the borders was selected. I had to put it down to 1.35:1 movie default and choose the second little picture without the borders. Strange; as it made it 1280x405, so it was constrained but it fit and had no borders on the TF.
Needless to say, DVD Cat is going to take some trial and error to figure it all out.
Underworld is a bit tricky because it is so dark.
In Global > Borders, you can increase the scan-point count, which should eliminate the issue you experienced. It is quite rare, but its tied to the way DVD Cat actually detects borders on movies. Rather than using fixed values, it takes screenshots of the movie at 5 (default) points, and then looks for the actual borders.

I remember seeing that. It's set at 5 right now. Is that a setting under the borders tab that's selectable or is it always on? I'm at work so I can't look at the software at the moment.
its defaulted at 5, but you can change it to something like 7 or 8.
I've only ran into the issue 3 times.
twice with episodes of 24, where the shots were taken during the time-display part, and Underworld 1
So what setting do you recommend; 7 or 8? I guess I'll just have to tinker with it when I get home. What is your final file dimmensions on Underworld 1 after transcoding with DVD Cat?
