For people having problems to download this file: Try another browser instead of Internet Explorer.
I could download it with Firefox, but when I tried to download it at a friends place with IE, it failed.
So I tried it at home with IE, also problems.
Tried it again with Firefox: No problem

have no problem downloading it with IE7..
you should ditch firefox. its the most sucky browser there is.. go check Opera if you insist on having a better browser as this is the only one better then IE7.

I hope you're joking! IE7 is terrible. Firefox is vastly superior and can be customised nicely! Opera is great on the PC (Not a huge fan of it on the PPC though); If you want speed, Safari is what you need!
Regarding the Dixv player, there is a slightly newer version available HERE

I just tried this out and was very surprised to note that it played a full size 700 mb movie as well as Coreplayer with "QTV Display". I was only expecting it to be as good as "directdraw" on coreplayer, slow and jittery.
Has anyone tried this program with the TV Out cable? I wonder if it would still have the blue flicker reported when using Coreplayer and TV Out.

Great, I hope it works. Based on the reviews on Coreplayer and it's TV Out, I'd kind of lost hope on video performance for this phone.

I installed it and got a message that it is outdated and go to mobile.divx.com to get the updated player. The problem is that it requires a login and gives no option to "join". How can I get the updated player??

Try the latest one HERE

I have a TV-out cable, and I can confirm that the Divx player doesn't have any blue flicker like Coreplayer.

i dl'd the file and it said i installed the wrong file even though i installed the right cab file.

Thanks Guys,
I think the link should have been Here instead.
How long does it run for before it expires?
Cheers,

Awesome. Can someone confirm the video quality over TV Out with this program? The two questions I have specifically are the following: Does the processor slow down any further when exporting via tv out - or does the tv out hardware take over? Also - when exporting to a widescreen tv, does the image stretch to the right aspect ratio, or does it only get wide making the image look fat?

Sorry P0ll0L0c0 unable to confirm TV Out performance as I don't have a cable, I can confirm that the app's not bad, it does however reset your backlight settings to 5 mins on battery and 10 mins on power but forgets to return them to original settings on exit.
Other than that, good work.
D.

got my pro and the tv-out cable today.
from what i can say is that the divx player sucks big time
coreplayer is the one to go for. but yes, i also have that blue flickering when using qtv. any fix for it already? still using the o2 stock rom if that matters.

I guess it must depend on the file. I've got a 700 mb copy of Hellboy that plays just as good on the divx player when compared to coreplayer using qtv. Since qtv doesn't work with tv out due to the blue flicker, the divx player has the advantage in my opinion.
I'm now tempted to buy a tv out cable to see how good output will be - but I think they're overpriced right now.

The Divx player stutters with every avi file I've tried on my device. Core player on QTV setting is by far the best (although you get the blue flicker on TV-Out). It's not too bad on the Direct Draw setting when using TV-Out, watchable.
Hopefully the next release of Core Player will solve this issue.

Guys I just chimed in on this thread. I just got my 8gig card and now I want to try out a movie on my phone. I have the latest version of TCPMP installed on my phone. Should I go with the Coreplayer you guys have been talking about on this thread? Also I don't understand what you guys were talking about in using the tv out input etc... I am switching from a Palm Treo to the Pro and I am trying to use this phone for all it's worth. Please help me. Thanks!!!!

seems like u can either use coreplayer or the divx player on our devices. There is just a conflict weather it works with our phones TV/out. (Our phones can output video to a TV with a special cable)
im interested in this. Installing the divx player now to test some 700mb movies.

Video drivers

Hi guys,
hopefully will be returning my I-Mate 9502 soon, and the only device I can imagine replacing it with is a Pro.
Are video drivers present? I read a few threads, but can't find a solid answer. Can the Pro at least play VGA video at full framerate? Can it do this through TV-out? I want to be able to play a divX video from my PC without having to convert.
Also, are there any other horiffic bugs/problems that I should know about that will stop me doing basic things?
Cheers,
Mike
I would also like to know answer for that question before purchasing touch pro. I learned from the mistake of buying kaiser without getting familiar to it's bugs before buying it.
Please someone run gxmark on your touch pro and tell me what score do you get! download gxmark here
edit. with kaiser i scored somewhere around 1550. So hopefully its at least that with touch pro.. and much better.
And please, someone with touch pro, run coreplayer benchmark and any D3D benchmark apps and keep us posted. Those numbers would tell us a lot how the device is managing. This would benefit all the users who are considering to swap their kaiser to TP.
Touchscreen Bug
Yes. I am also looking forward to touch pro. Only one thing interests me and hasn't been completely answered even in diamond forum: can anyone test if THE TOUCHSCREEN BUG from devices like tytn II still exist when playing a game that requires continuous stylus on screen (skyforce reloaded for ex, or call of duty 2). i saw some videos on youtube with a guy playing an emulator on the diamond and it was flawless. If that is the case, then I'm clear to buy this puppy.

I couldn't get gxmark to work, just got a plain white screen. I'll try something else later and test the video playing if nobody else does but I'm just having dinner right now
@ukdj78
If its not an issue can you try out this http://www.glbenchmark.com/GLBenchmark_Community_Full_1_02_WM5_CM.cab , you will need to register at www.glbenchmark.com to view the results. Can you post them here please?
Can you also try running this video as well
http://www.glbenchmark.com/videos/GLBenchmarkPro_High.wmv
Thanks.
Video playing is flawless using Coreplayer, and using the TV-Out cable has absolutely no effect on performance.
I'm not a big believer in benchmarks, but out of interest I ran benchmarks Coreplayer using DirectDraw, GDI, Raw FrameBuffer and QTV Display, just to see whether "QTV display" is still much better - it isn't - they all come out at roughly 140%. So there isn't the same sort of difference that I got when using "QTV Display" on the Kaiser, but the improvement isn't needed anyway (on the Kaiser the same videos would always return benchmarks under 100% unless I used the "QTV Display").
I've tried seven different 700Mb Xvid .avi movies, and they've all work perfectly. No page tearing or stuttering using CorePlayer. Haven't tried TCPMP, but I'm sure it'd work just as well.

Just ran the test, but I have no idea whether the results are any good. They're attached though...
Just tried a selection of video files from my PC in Windows Media Player on the Touch Pro and here are my findings (Video file info determined with GSpot v2.7):
.WMV file: 640x480 29.96fps 1257kps Audio: 44100Hz stereo 64Kps:
It didn't cope too well with it to be honest, sound was ok but the video only appeared to have about half the framerate of what it should be.
.AVI file: DivX 5/6 Codec 640x480 29.97fps 3164kps Audio: PCM 48000Hz 1536kps
Didn't play the video at all - got sound only (probably no video codec on device)
.AVI file: XVid Codex 720x438 29.97fps 1991kps Audio: MP3 44100Hz 128kps
Didn't play video or sound - came up with the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file."
.MP4 file: 640x480 24fps 1601kps Audio: MP4 48000Hz Unknown kps
Played perfectly - Very smooth and not noticeably different from performance on my PC
.MPG files: Touch Pro does not recognise this format, wanted to try a PAL DVD quality MPEG 2 file
Looks like MP4 is the way to go for video files then
@sub69
Thanks mate. Its not great, almost identical to the Diamond in 3D performance, maybe the Diamond is a wee bit superior.
Any luck playing the video?
Thanks once again .
@ukdj
Try COrePlayer(which is 20USD) or TPCMP, supports a lot more codecs.
I'll try TCPMP then, used that a lot on my Vario II to play flv files but I originally didn't bother to install it on the touch pro cos I knew it could handle flv files since it had a youtube player built in!

I should declare that I had a few things minimised in the background (ActiveSync, Calendar, Messaging, File Explorer) and push mail was running, so it wasn't exactly a scientific test and I'm sure I could get marginally better results if I could be bothered!
We would expect it to be pretty much identical to the Diamond anyway, wouldn't we?
Video is very jerky if you just try to play it in CorePlayer, but if you run a CorePlayer benchmark on it, it's as smooth as you like. Odd. Much better in WMP, but still jerky.
@sub69 I'm having a little issue with text message notifications, could you do me a quick favour and try this on your touch pro: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418089 If you want me to send you a text message to try it out Private message me with your mobile number and I'll send the word "test" to you!
The processor scores maybe higher although I doubt having minimized apps would have affected the 3D benchmarks. Since a lot of folks have mentioned that TF3D is smoother on the Pro than on the Diamond wondered if it was some changes to the 3D acceleration or better s/w optimisation of TF3D.
Did you try to play the video using QTv? Any benchmark values for the video from Coreplayer? btw, that video plays on the Kaiser at about 9-10fps.
Thanks again .
(just wanted to say this) You guys are the best! So much needed info about this, keep on going!

Don't really wanna pay $20 for testing purposes, sorry and TCPMP doesn't work either - another of the many programs I've found which don't seem to like VGA screens I'm using version 0.72RC1 is there a newer one which might work or is this the latest?
EDIT: just found another cab file for TCPMP on the Athena forum which has a different file name to mine, will give that a try!
2nd EDIT lol: No, that was no good either - it wouldn't even install!
You could try the TCPMP which was rebuilt using VS2008 (its in the dev and hacking forum i think)??
gimme a sec i'll get the URL...
EDIT: Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387
youve probably already tried it but if not, do
EDIT 2: Im getting my Touch Pro soon after i get back from vacation (a week or so) so i will encode some vids into VGA and see how they perform, ive found coreplayer to be great so far with my Hermes so will have a straight comparison using the same files benchmarked both in QVGA and VGA versions on both devices.
Might be worth stating what kinda of formats people are using aswell (XVid/DivX, H261 etc....)
Try the one in this post, this is working on the diamond so high probability it will work on the touch pro.

Thanks,
I found changing the "Normal buffer size" to about 8000 kb improves video playback dramatically of an XVid file. This video was designed for the Tilt however with a 320x240 video size. I'll have to wait and see how it plays something at 640x480.

I guess that the smoother TF3D on the Raphael will be because it's a later build (later than any I ever saw in my Diamond ROM's, anyway).
Didn't get a percentage value for that video...I guess that because of the filetype, CorePlayer "benchmarks" it differently? CorePlayer just told me the bitrate and properties of that high-def file when I ran it's benchmark to the end. Again, QTV, DirectDraw, RawFrameBuffer, and GDI all looked pretty much identical to my untrained eye, but this time I didn't have percentage values to confirm that...
Can i play a 700MB 640x480 X-Vid (or wmv,...) file on a touch pro with coreplayer smoothly? or even a 2x700MB movie? (-->means double bitrate)
Sorry if the question is stupid, but i always read no concrete answer. (means YES or NO)
greetings

endeed you have to buy it. It's not that expensive, but really efficient
CorePlayer costs $30.

if you have problem with coreplayer and you have sound but no picture set in tools,preferences,select pages,video output set on directdraw and problem its gone now you have picture and sound
have fun...

just played an ep of scrubs
Yep, even though its not hardware accelerated it works fine for me also, occasionally choppy for a few secs here and there, thats what I think could be better with the accelerated version.
Sorry noob here. Which version of coreplayer should I get for HD2? I don't want to end up paying for the incorrect version.

To use hardware acceleration requires use of Qualcomm intellectual property, which Qualcomm guards jealously. The writers of CorePlayer have not purchased the rights to use this IP. Toshiba have; they hired the CorePlayer guys to make them a special version of Coreplayer for the TG01. If the CorePlayer guys were to distribute that they would get sued by Qualcomm, and possibly also by Toshiba.

Well I don't know whether you mean this, but I couldn't control Coreplayer through my Bluetooth headset. If so, just go to tools, settings, go to WMP UI plugins and tick all three options.

Any confirmation to any working divx, flv, mkv rm player?

Hi
I would like to know for your xperia x10, which android apps works and which doesn't?
I have only tried the xyflash trial, and it did not play divx nor h294 in mkv.
I don't want to convert every movie (as it take times). Hopefully something work on xperia will come soon. (i want confirmation before i buy the apps too).
try using blapk market (probably find it on the web only) the developer created it so people could try full version of certain apps without having the feeling of being robbed! but if it does what it claims it should, then out of respect, you should buy the full version from the developers!
ive tried a yxflash version from that market.. not sure if theres a more recent update to it now but it worked ok.. i gues! not sure if it'll be the same for everyone but from what ive tested, avi and divx files worked which is cool but unfortunately i noticed that around 10 minz (im guesin here) the video would freeze (just the clip not the app), yet the audio would continue as normal.
hope any of this helps!!
Well I can confirm that the latest available update for this program has fixed the issue of video freezing! Divx worked well and as 4 avi you can see it reacting slightly slow but some people may be able to live with it for time being until an update can address the issue.
Use YXflash. it work g8t.
I use yxflash, its not bad, i wish i could get the full version free though.
Yxflash still very slow on divx.
I tried many apps so far, i still have yet see a functional H.264 mkv one.
at the back of the phone it said quicktime enable, isn't h.264 apple's ? and mediascape as usual, useless.
Yxflash played divx quite smooth 4 me

How do you use the blapk market? i have installed it but i cannot see any apps...tried adding repos, wouldnt work? does this mean it has been shut down again?
Once you put repos you go to main screen then menu and hit update..
If that doesn't work you can visit the site at www.blackdroid.net, there forum is useful an all..
Hope it helps!

try to use Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, it has support for a wide range of audio and video formats incl flv & rm. it's in Chinese but few buttons are easy to understand
http://mobiputing.com/tag/wuzhenhua-player/
within link above there is a ref to a thread in xda, post 76 you'll find english ver
I checked it out since i am chinese myself, i even got the chinese market place apps. I can't find anything better. yxflash doesn't seem to work for some divx (anime one) and more anime fansub are in MKV/H264 these days.
Wuzhen does play some divx yxflash doesn't play and vice versa. I guess i will just read manga on the subway.
I use RockPlayer, which works a treat... I don't have a heap of movies, so I don't know exactly what it plays, but it sure plays more than the inbuilt media players... and it does it better - no lags, etc...
RockPlayer, search no further, app is amazing, YX Player is a joke compared to this one.
it doesn't seem to work as well as it thought to be, it does move and all but i see big lags.
I think it have to do with the size of the anime i am trying to watch.

whatz the size of this file? and are you talkin bout these issues on rockplayer, not yxflash?
Cause I have rockplayer and i've used a 1Gb file and framerate was running near 25 frames/sec and had no lag whatsoever!
There's someone who's played a movie (1080i) at 30f/sec without lag..
Maybe something on ya phone is blocking its true potential?

Another vote for Rock player.
I seem to have problems with Rock Player if I use my MW600.. But only when I'm playing divx/xvid.
I hear a crackling sound. If I turn off my headset, the problem is gone.
Am I the only one with this problem? Should I start using Wuzhenhua ?
I use Rockplayer, it is by far the best one out there, no lag on my XviD collection

Cool features that actually work

Thought I'd make a thread for things that do work well on the Sensation and may make people stick to this phone until the other issues are resolved.
DLNA function: I spent a few hours putting my Samsung TV on my network and I can send video, pics and music direct from my phone to my TV via Wifi from anywhere in the house and its very very good. I have a film in AVI and it steamed perfectly.
Forward SMS to email: I think this is in 2.3.3 anyway but useful when phone it unusable like at some work places.
Built in streaming: I can scan music, videos and pics from a file server and play them on the phone directly with no additional software.
Lexar 32 gig MicroSD Class 10: Definitly works fine in this phone. Check Amazon
Built in slideshow as wallpaper: I like having different background images randomly and this is good for that. Point it at a folder full of images (I have a folder full of downloaded landscapes, sea, etc., type images specifcally for this. It replaces the need for things like Wallpaper Rotator. Only snag is that it changes the images every 30 seconds or so so it maybe CPU intensive (doesn't seem to be though). I'd rather it was hourly but can't see anywhere to change it.
Please add others as you find them.
Lockscreen icons and lockscreen animations: I like having weather animations or my photos spinning around under the lock screen, looks cool. Also being able to change the lock screen icons does make that feature quite handy

Make sure you have Wi-Fi turned on
(Also ensure Media Centre on your PC is set to share music, videos etc)
Go to Gallery
At the top where it says ALBUMS, click and select Media Servers
Select your PC
Mine says Media PC: Media
then it will find the catagories of the files it can find, you just chose what you wish to play
It really is that simple!!

If your streaming server is any good it can transcode .mkv on the fly to something the phone can play.
I'll go try it with an MKV file right now...bear with me, wife has the remote
I am using Windows 7 as the media server, btw
No good with MKV. None of the players on my phone will play it natively even though my Samsung TV plays them fine from a hardrive or memory stick. On my phone I have Divxplayer (or demoplayer) and moboplayer and they wont play it on the phone itself, let along anywhere else. Need a player that supports these. I think the Desire used to play MKV with Divxplayer but I don't think it likes the Sensation resolution.
Anyone any ideas?

I think the Desire used to play MKV with Divxplayer but I don't think it likes the Sensation resolution.
Anyone any ideas?

have you tried diceplayer?
I'll give it a try now.
Diceplayer plays MKV on the phone ok but cant find a way to push that to the TV

Go to Gallery
At the top where it says ALBUMS, click and select Media Servers
Select your PC
Mine says Media PC: Media
then it will find the catagories of the files it can find, you just chose what you wish to play
It really is that simple!!

Thanks! That is simple! Not tried it yet, but presumably it will work with the built-in Windows Media Player server of Windows 7, and also TVersity, just like my PS3 does and can see both.
Could you please advise as to whether HDMI mirroring works, particularly in landscape mode?
Also do you have a Wiimote? The BT stack should support it but I see people asking this question feverishly as though they're concerned... I think it should work, but now everyone's casting doubts in my mind.
PS. You're a lucky bastard lol... I'm dying to get a Sensation!!

wii mote will not work because htc sense messes it up it does it for all sense devices
Rock player supports mkv also try using skifta to stream it via dlna
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Rockplayer may support MKV but it doesn't like the resolution or something because it drops out as soon as it starts to play. Actually Rockplayer plays MKV fine on my wife's Desire so it must be a resolution issue because as the Sensation is qHD

[Q] Playing Divx on HP Touchpad

Hi guys,
Waiting for android on the HP Touchpad, is there someone knows how to play divx (moovies) on that tablet with webos with a free application.
It seems that there only one soft who do that but not free.(around 7€)
Thx for yours advices.
find a video converter and convert to a supported format.
Probably mp4 is supported, don't know really.
A free one was called Format Factory.
as you say there is a paid app that can do avi, divx, xvid etc but nothing for free.
the best advice i can give you is to use the handbrake template in the following link to pretty much guarantee compatibility when converting video files.
http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html
also, if you have mkv files, you could use something like gotsent to convert them to mp4 and they should work.
What's the name of the app?
Kalemsoft Media Player...

Thanks for that.... other question I have is I have put credit card details into the webos app store and I still can't see any paid apps? help anyone?
nevermind ... seems Australia is failboat on the paid apps...
yeah paid apps doesn't work for australia at the moment.
probably never now.
easier to just convert them.

Yeah, KalemSoft works for all my stuff.
I actually just installed a new app from homebrew called Touchplayer it is supposed to support all formats, however it is all CPU rendering
perfect... Worked a treat.... Preware is fun too! Really impressed with webOS actually.

cool.
i'll check this app out.
it'll be interesting to see how my overclocked TP handles the extra cpu load.
most of my movies aren't HD anyway so there shouldn't be much load.
EDIT: doesn't seem to want to download.

is that for the touchpad too? the one I downloaded was version 0.3.3 demo but it does the exact same thing as the paid version. I'm actually not sure what the difference is as I've seen a friend's version and it was the same

The preware build seems to have a problem that prevents it to install.
Download the app from precentral.net/touchplayer and then install it by using "Web OS Quick install" App.
It worked for me.
Mine installed but I dont get any sound Tried both .6 and .3 versions above.
Tried .avi and then converted to .mp4 no sound but movie plays. .mp4 plays with the native video player but doesnt scale to the right aspect ratio

Just reboot, app icon should appear in the launcher after that.
maybe i'll try again.
so is it actually a player or just a codec pack?
