CorePlayer v1.2.1

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.

TCMP and youtube - flv plugin

i didn't see anyone posting this before - i just found out about this plugin, i tried it and it works! for all of you who are tired of converting flv to avi in order to watch it on your ppc, theres a solution. it also comes with utilities to ease the downloading of video from youtube.com, i tried, also works a charm. good luck, and thanks to the creators!
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196939
I don't able to play the video:
I put the 3 files in the tcmp folder (in sd card)
I don't able to play the video on the you-tube page
and I don't able to play the video flv (downloaded by youtubedownload.exe) on the player
I run O.72 version with the plugin of 0.81
How you get it successfully?
thanks
Enough only to put the two files .flv in the root TCPMP.
With the others files you are able to download the tape directly on ppc,enough to launch YouTube Download on device..

you mean .plg files i assume. but right, that's what you should do. then also you can edit options>preferences>file associations in tcpmp so then you can launch tcpmp doubleclicking flv file (it is called flash video in options)
uvz: i don't know what's wrong - it works with tcpmp v. 0.71 - my plugin version is 0.2, have no idea how can i help :/
ok, I found the reason..
The 3 files I downloaded was all exe file (??)
I download the zip folder in other place and I found the correctly .plg files.
So now I can play the video on tcpmp, by downloading with the exe.
But I'm not able to stream video directly from you-tube page: it's normal?
I can only download the video and then play with tcpmp, or there are a possibility to open and play directly from the you-tube page by streaming with tcpmp?
Finnaly... I'm now able to play .flv files... horray!!!
I've copied the flv plugin to the TCMP folder and I think they're correctly installed. However when playing youtube vids, it connects to HTC Streaming Media which unfortunately doesn't run vids on my Kaisser.
Do I have to remove streaming Media so that youtube would connect to TCMP when vids are selected? How can I select streaming media into my TCMP?
Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
TCPMP streaming problems with WM6
I have an HTC touch cruise with wm6 and I am unable to stream flv files.
I have installed the TCPMP program and I think I installed tcpmp plugin 0.4.2.
When I install the plug in, do the files automatically install themselves in the TCPMP root file??? and how are they identified.
It shows in my settings/system/Remove programs , the TCPMP and TCPMP plugin are both installed Could some one please post step by step install instruction or direct me to one .
Thanks

HTTP MP3 Streaming

Hey guys,
I have my own HTTP MP3 Server set up that I would like to access remotely. The thing is, I use GSPlayer to copy and paste the link to stream the MP3, but is there some kind of plugin that when I click on the song it will automatically start streaming it. I pretty much would like to see something like the way YouTube works with TCPMP except with MP3s. Any ideas?
I think WMP should work, but EDGE is to slow for steaming media in my area, so I'm not 100% positive. However, when I open up my copy of TCPMP and look under file associations, there is an "HTTP Protocol" Try disabling GSPlayer, and going to the URL of your server in PIE, I beleive TCPMP should open right up and just start playing/

It doesn't. It asks me if I want to save it. I just want to stream it. I'm on Sprint's EVDO with my Mogul and YouTube works flawlessly when I stream it. All I need to see is if there's a plug-in that will force IE or Opera to launch the URL in GSPlayer or TCPMP. I've tried searching all over, but I can't seem to find anything.
Hmm, that's interesting. Could you post the link so that we can try on our devices and see what happens?
Just try to go to any site that has an MP3 file there and see if it will ask you to save it or not. I don't want to post my HTTP File Server up here for everyone to access.
bump.. does anyone know of any RSS MP3 Players? I have some XMLs generated for those.
bump again
I believe SPB Insight has the ability to download podcasts OTA.
But it doesn't support MP3s.
bump.. to the top! Is this impossible as of now? I didn't think it would be since there's a YouTube plug-in.

WMV Movie Files

what other players are available for the pocket pc that will play .wmv files?
please advise!
thank you,
tvos
CorePlayer is, in my opinion, the best. They just came out with a new release and have another release set for 2/21/08 that should make video playback even better. I use it now with movies I have converted and it works very well.

Hi
I advice to you these two great universal players:
1) Tcpmp, freeware, last beta version here (with all codecs already included, if i well remember, and with subtitle support!), or the last stable one (and no more officially developed) here where do you need all the other codecs (most of that in the same page, and if you'll get wmv/wma problem look here )
2) CorePlayer, not free, (that directly derive from the first one, for this official Tcpmp not more developed), info here !
Ciao
all my movies are in .wmv format - do i have to convert them to .mpg, .avi to watch or can these players read and play .wmv?
please advise.
tvos
CorePlayer can play WMV videos quite well.

Tcpmp can play .wmv/.wma files and you don't need to convert, too!
...but just install the right plugin, look to the link posted above!
...Tcpmp wmv/wma files tested and work!!
...I tested it and works fine on my Kaiser!
follow these steps:
1) Install the Tcpmp, latest release
2) Download these set of files: 3 .dlls, copy these into the tcpmp install folder and you'll get full wma/wmv/wmv9 support
3) Than, for better performances try these Tcpmp settings (or manage by yourself, to find the best settings for you):
(a) Options -> Video -> Video Driver: GDI (or Raw Framebuffer); not DirectDraw. Uncheck "Dither"
(b) Options -> Video -> Quality -> "Low" or "Normal"
(c) Options -> Pixel Aspect Ratio: set to "Auto"
(d) Options -> Settings -> Advanced -> Check "Slow Video Memory"
(e) Options -> Settings -> Buffering -> Change "Preload at Underrun" to 85% (or little more)
(f) Options -> uncheck "Repeat"
(g) Options -> uncheck "Shuffle"
(h) Restart Tcpmp
...tips:
1) for big/long .wmv files try, on first load, to put the cursor, on the loading bar, to the middle or end, wait many seconds (so it buffers), than restart your file!!
2) be sure to close all applications running in background.
...done
Enjoy it!
thanx for the info. and support on this issue.
just out of curiosity? why is it that windows media is choppy and tcpmp/coreplayer works fine?
tvos
I had the same issues of "chopiness and lag" using Pocket Player to play WMV files. I concluded the WMV format is not suitable for mobile applications since I recoded my video files in MP4 (using Nero) and now they all play fine.Anyway, just another option.
.... .wmv suck
First of all, the first question was:
what other players are available for the pocket pc that will play .wmv files?

and i only answered that the two apps above-mentioned were able to play windows media files!!!

no one said that .wmv is the best codec format, rather i think it's in absolute the worse, and, personally, the faster one (expecially for my Kaiser) is the .3gp format, even though in quality isn't comparable to .avi and .mp4 (and i inform you that Kaiser is very bad in video performances anyway!!) ! I only said that these players can load the windows media files just fine, meaning, without problems!! and in absolute i can confirm to you that it lags, but on my device lag .avi and .mp4 too (with medium/big video bitrates!) , only .3gp works fluid!!!
Ciao
so far I switched to tcpmp and it works flawless and smooth. no problems. video could be a little better, but thats expected since the file size ranges from 250mb-512mb compressed.
thank you,

Problems opening youtube videos

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.

tcpmp youtube question.

How can I make youtube/flash videos open up in TCPMP instead of WMP. I have the setting on TCPMP to open flash/flv files but it still does not WMP is currently giving me an error because I installed and uninstalled some plugs ins that cause some issues for WMP.

yes I did. Youtube(mobile with opera 9.5 diamond build) use to open with tcpmp but once I moved to wm 6.1(official rom) it started to open in WMP. Then after installing the 3g2 and other codec plug in for wmp it stop working, even after uninstalling it. And yes I read that page twice.
everytime I try to play a youtube video with wmp it says there is a source error. Anyway to fix this issue?

For starters, WMP doesn't support those file types. So, make sure you have installed the FLV bundle to the same location as TCPMP, and make sure .flv is an associated file with TCPMP. As mentioned above, this has been a very popular subject, so be sure to search for this. Playing youtube videos is probably the easiest thing to achieve these days, it is very simple.
I don't think you understand. I can play youtube files fine with I.E. and tcpmp. However, with Opera 9.5 and youtube mobile pages which they don't work well anymore. I was able in the past to get it to work before. The opera would open the files up in WMP and play them. But once I installed these plugins for wmp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366471 WMP stopped playing it citing a source error. So I uninstalled the files and still the same issue still citing a source error.
So, what I want to know now is how to make opera open the files up in TCPMP like I.E. does, or maybe even get to work in WMP again. Thank you.
anyone have both WMP 6 and 6.1 defualt codec dll and such?
Ok, didn't know you were trying to open through Opera. If uninstalling doesn't work, you prob need to hard reset, considering you altered the system file, and the uninstallation didn't revert it back to normal. I'm not even sure Opera will open a YouTube video in TCPMP. I believe it is coded to open out of PIE. I only use PIE for YouTube really, just use ytpocket.com. Makes browsing YouTube quicker and easier. Also, the vids you were plaing before in WMP are low quality .3GP files.
really? I was wondering why the quality was terrible when compared to TCPMP. Well on that subject I some how just lost .3gp support on my device also. The 3gp file my camera phone records won't play on wmp, and plays on tcpmp but with audio errors(I installed the plugin to get the camera phone videos to work with WMP again).
anyone please?
can you make opera mini open youtube files with TCPMP like it does with IE and flash bundle?
