Hi;
I was looking for a good media player for my HTC Trinity WM5 based Pocket PC. Someone advised TCMP which I downloaded and installed, it plays one of the files but the whole screen becomes very distorted and is in the most unwatchable.
The file is an mpeg1 file.
I just did a search on Google and it says its compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV, AC-3, ASF, AMR, Ogg Vorbis, DivX, XviD, MPEG1, MPEG4-SP, WMV, AVI.
Its should play fine but it is very tempermental TCMP is also discontinued.
I also have an mpg2 file that i`d like to play, any ideas on an alternative.
Ta
coreplayer is the comercial followup to the discontinued TCMP
As far as i know the TCPMP is also available as freeware ... it changed the name to Beta Player: http://betaplayer.com/
But, there arent any news about a release of this player Still waiting for a long long time ...
first it was named betaplayer then they changed it to TCMP
then they made a commercial version called coreplayer
no new development have been don to the old one since that i know of
and if they changed the name back to the original one that too is news to me
I've fixed my problem, I did another search in these forums and found a guide on installing TCPMP there is a second .cab which I had not seen before, the player now works flawlessly.
Only problem is installing TCPMP this time knocked out thd Bassfix that I had run, so now the sound is tinny again.
I'll run the Bassfix again and see how it goes.

Isn't i easier to shell out the $20 for the commercial CorePlayer than waiting? These devs surely deserve the financial support (too).

That would be easy to decide if there was a trial version of CorePlayer.

Actually there is a trial version
I don´t remember where on this big and great site I found it...
The only complaint I don't like about Core Player is: it does not support sub titles. So I still have TCPMP installed so I can watch movies with srt subtitles.

There is NO trial version of CP. If you're referring to the 1.1.1 Coreplayer.CAB file posted by some people on the XDA-Devs forums, it's a cracked, pirated copy.
Please also report occurrences of people posting this CAB file. It is a pirate copy and posting it should be sanctioned.

Yeah, sure, the same I say. Nevertheless, it's still way above everyting else particularly when it comes to video playback efficiency and compatibility. That is, it can be safely purchased even w/o trying it first - as long as you don't want to play back an unsupported format (e.g., RMVB) or don't want unsupported features like subtitles.

Oops, sorry I was referring to that copy and didn´t know was pirate...
I know the point of view of XDA-DEVS about it and didn´t want to cause any problem.
My sincere apologies
Of course I´ll be aware to report any occurrences or spam

You have to download the FLV though don't you? I want something that streams.
Also, I want it to be able to play embedded video.

No embedded operation (yet). However, it works with the plug-in, should your want to prefer it to the old TCPMP
A lot of movies are coming out with digital copies & they are all in WMV format but our players don't support it.
I tried searching but all I found was the plugin for TCPMP, which didn't work too well. Anyway I would like to know if there is a plugin for WMP on our phones? I have a few of these digital copies & I would like to put them on my storage card for those boring days at work. If anyone has a plugin or a solution, I would really appreciate it.
Where are the movies?? Anyways, CorePlayer should play them, about $25 directly from CoreCodec, which should be cheap for you judging by your avatar !
What are you talking about? Windows Media Player plays WMV files. it's already on your phone.

Talking about certain codecs not included in WMP, so you need a different player. Most videos can't be played through WMP.
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to not have to buy anything new but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, a new question... if I buy this coreplayer will it do everything tcpmp does or do I have to keep tcpmp on my Kaiser?
As far as the movies... I have Juno & AVPr right now but a lot of movies come with an extra disc right now that you can download it from... Look for it on the cover, it says digital copy right on it

Cool, I have to check out my friend's DVD collection . Anyways, CorePlayer does all the main functions of TCPMP, but a bit better, and I personally like the looks of it better. It has the YouTube function built-in, but currently you have a limited number of results, so if your looking for a specific video, you must type a lot. I use CorePlayer as my main video player, and still keep TCPMP with the FLV bundle to watch video directly from the web.

Sweet I been reading up on it since you suggested it & I'm sold on it now. Thanks I hope it plays these movies. I'll let you know as soon as I got it all set up
WACK!!! Same thing as tcpmp... Granted, it looks better but its the same outcome. The video will start but it won't play. It starts loading & then it stays like that forever. Occassionally it plays a clip of the sound but only a fraction of a second
Any tips for the settings to change Champ?
Hi,
Can someone help me where I can find the unzippped or unlocked free ware version of CorePlayer to download it for my WinMo 6.1?
Kindly help me in this regard...
Cheers,

Windows Mobile 6.1
well, i dont think it's available since coreplayer is not a freeware
i would suggest u to use TCPMP, it's free
you are correct
this is not free....you have to buy it
he is preferably asking for a pirated version..
forget about coreplayer, use tcpmp, CORRECT version...
I not asking for a complete pirated version, its only the fact that I need a good decent player in order to go ahead and play all the videos similar to what VLC Media Player does to our notebooks...
And yes... it should be a freeware
Can someone kindly share it here in this thread?
You're talking about tcpmp (the core pocket media player). There are many different tweaked versions. Search in the hackers forum, or go to the touch pro forum at ppcgeeks for a version that plays many different formats of video.

you need decent player, then as everyone told you - use tcpmp - coreplayer is not decent ;p it is step back.
I used to use tcpmp until I bought some bluetooth headphones. I found that I couldn't watch videos in tcpmp without the audio skipping, but it all worked fine when I downloaded a trial of coreplayer.
As far as I'm concerned, that made coreplayer far better and worth paying for.

mmm you know that Coreplayer is not freeware and what you are asking for is a cracked version, which is against the rules!
Try this instead or buy coreplayer : http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/

Just install the cab?; there are 2 folders in the zip, one with a cab, and another with some dll's and a .reg
currently there is no perfectly working plugin for RMVB, at least not on Topaz. The above mentioned plug will play back in windows meida player but you won't be able to fast forward. some times the movie might get stuck and stop halfway, depends on the encoding of the file.
There is another mplayer ported for WM, it plays fine, and able to fast forward but the only problem the video is too small, may be like less than 1/8 of of the Topaz's screen size. So far it seems no one knows how to increase the resolution on that.
I found a media player call "Wuzhenhua player" that plays more video format that other media player support from a Chinese android forum. I believe this is the first media player in android that support flv, rmvb, rm, and flac file format I have ever seen. The development is still in every early stage, so it's just a proof of concept for now. The app doesn't support full screen and auto rotate, but it DOES play flv and rm video as I have tested it from my Droid. It got potential to be the "CorePlayer" on android. That's why I think we can give it a try, and share this app.
Wuzhenhua player support format: 4xm,8bps,aac,ac3,eac3,amv,ape,dca,imc,alas,rm,rmvb,nuv,ptx,tta,wma,wmv,flic,
flac,flv,g726,h261,h263,h264,mp1,mp2,mp3,mp4,smc,tmv,dvdsub,dvbsub
P.S. I do not develop this app, all credit goes to the developer WUZHENHUA, and there's a source link from androidin.net

Can you give a direct link?
I think you must first login, and the site is chinease.
Please post the download link here or somewhere in english.
I've downloaded it, but haven't try out yet, here's the apk... but the application itself is also in chinese... so good luck then...
EDIT: just tried it out with a 45 mins rmvb format file, works flawlessly... now waiting for the landscape version...
P/S: don't try to turn it into landscape mode if u are watching the movie, it's cause u to restart the movie...
*for those of you who can't read chinese, this is what i can do to help you guys, check out the pictures below... i put some translation on it...
Thanks, I'm downloading now.
And thaks for translation, it is very helpful

Works well on Acer Liquid with Android 2.1 (heavy modified LCR1.1-rom).
However I dont play videos on my phone that often, so removed it again until there is support for English Locale in the application.
But nice to see that people are developing and actually make progress!
is there a english ver?
it's a bit surprising seeing above replies, but i wasn't able to play any of my xvid's properly. (They are the standard ones that i play on my PC)..First they played very very choppy even worse than yxflash and then they stopped playing altogether somehow..
Btw I have a nexus one.
@ kiay, Thanks for the translation. Works great. Guess I should have learned chinese instead of spanish. Thanks again.
