Hi all,
I've been searching through the forums for the possible video players available for my TP. I've so far only found two (other then windows media player).
Core player http://www.coreplayer.com - Which from the site seems to play a decent amount of file types. Have not heard performance wise how this stands up. Also unfortunately has a cost associated.
Divx player http://labs.divx.com/MobileCommunity- Which I've looked at and is by no means a one player fits all. Only can play divx files.
Are there any other players out there that are free that are a one-stop-shop?
Or are their codecs for the windows media player? (have not been able to locate any)
Thanks
TCPMP was the open source media player that spawned the Core Player.
I think you can still get it. Sure its probably not up to date like Core Player, but it does play everything you need it to play.

I just got a new stereo bluetooth headset (Samsung SBH-170) and I had feared this would happen.
Up till now I've been using TCPMP to view my videos and listen to my music, since it can pretty much do everything that Windows Media Player is missing. But now I run into something that WMP offers that TCPMP doesn't: compatibility.
None of the buttons on the headset will work with TCPMP. However, WMP doesn't let me create/save playlists, watch DivX/XviD encoded movies, and eats up my program memory.
So is there any other media players out there that would work, or perhaps an updated version of TCPMP or WMP to fix these issues?
I have Sompy on my computer, but I can't recall why I'm not using it.
Edit:
I have a Wizard and have updated to T-Mobile's latest release.
I've been actively searching for something, but I can't find much. There are some apps that support music only, but who would want three media players on your device? I've also found a program that allows creation and editing of WMP playlists.
Update:
Found CorePlayer, which appears to be the commercial version of TCPMP (let me know if I'm late on this), but there is still some issues with stereo bluetooth control.
Wait for jan 2007 when Betaplayer will be released (www.betaplayer.com)
Well thats confusing. Why is CoreCodec releasing an opensource player to compete with their commericial player?
Oh, and I found another reason to hate WMP. When listening to my music, it will become distorted (either noticably slower or faster so the tone changes) and then stop, then start again with the distortion and get better later. This does not happen with TCPMP though.
This is lame.
More info on BetaPlayer here: http://www.corecodec.com/forum/index.php?topic=3565.0
Did never had those speed fluctuations ou mentioned with WMP on 2003SE as you mentioned.
I'm stuck. I've been using windows media player on my Raphael (Touch Pro, Fuze etc.) and it really doesnt cut it. Limited format compatability and awkward user interface. So im wondering what YOU use. Post multiple programs if needed.
Take into consideration:
What you use them for, music, video etc
The file format mp3, avi, .flac etc.
Album art?
Me? I use TCMP for videos, Windows Media Player for music or Nitrogen (0.3.2) I tried 0.2.1 but it didnt suit me. WMP has poor usability and Nitrogen has really poor library thingy, hard to select and play tracks quickly but other than that is easy to use.
Shoot!
P.S. (Links would be ace)
for just music s2p rulez
everything else, coreplayer
Agree S2P rules!!
For the rest TPCM
Coreplayer hands down here.
Coreplayer ($) is the best all-around player for me. TCMP (Free) is probably my second choice for all-around.
I use Conduits Pocket Player ($) for music, though, due to Coreplayer's strange (IMHO) library. There are probably several just-as-good free music players, but I have a license for Pocket Player, so...
TCPMP for videos & AudioManger for music...lot's of skins!
TCPMP for all!
Conduit's Pocket Player. Smooth MP3/AAC etc player that works extremely well with CPUs with lower clock speeds. Also supports WM10 plugins and skins.
I use nitrogen
theres a really simple way of fixing ur looking for music in Nitrogen problem
as it doesnt have a playlist thingy u can make folders with specific types of music in those folders
i dont kno if you understand me
Pocket Tunes for audio - it was the best at bookmarking which was a must-have for podcasts for me.
CorePlayer for video.
Between those two I've never had anything I couldn't play.
Kinoma play. MP3, WMA, (AAC? Dunno - don't use it), youtube, flickr, shoutcast, podcasts, orb.com (use this to listen to ALL of your music or watch all of your videos and even your HDTV!), iDisk, Audible.com and more.. damned near every radio station, DigitallyImported (www.di.fm) and thousands of internet radio stations and video streams.. cool panoramic photos and more..
In short.. I've used all of the others (S2P, Nitrogen, Core, etc) and I can't get over the interface and ease of use that Kinoma offers.

I have Orb running at home and have used it with TCPMP in my Mogul for two years with no problems. TCPMP does not work on the TP2, so I upgraded to Core Player, but the Core player (which works fine for video files on the device) plays audio files that I orb, but crashes everytime I try to stream the TV feed.
Windows media player will play the TV feed, but the playback is so choppy as to be worthless. Even Sprint TV plays better than Orb on Windows Media
.
Has anyone had a problem with Core 1.3.6 build 7427 and Orb?
Actually I found Kinoma Free/Play while searching for a better way to access my Orb server than just the website. I have had no issues with the FreePlay option, with the exception of a couple of things I browsed through were in a codec only available with the paid version of Kinoma Play.
Might be worth checking out for your Orb access.
I run into issues every now and again with Orb and Core Player. My suggestion is to go in your Orb settings and change what kind of stream it is. I have had good results with .asx
In regrades to ORB and Core try this. I have done it and it work and as a side note orb seems to stream better too. Loged into ORVB on your phone goto settings>Streaming Formats>and select Winamp format (.pls). This will use winamp for your mobile but still use ASX for your desktop. The only problem is everyting you have to log in on your mobile you will have to change it to PLS if your cookies get deleted from your phone. As I stated this streams MUCH MUCH better and buffering is better too. Hope this helps
I'm looking for a media player that will allow me to select music by Album Artist, I have spend hours tagging my music and most music players I try use the Artist, which contains multiple entries for the same album.
The only software I have found on WM is Pocket Player, but not entirely convinced by it. I have also recently got a HTC Tattoo, but can't find any decent media player that supports the resolution, let alone one which handles Album Artist.
Any recommendations welcome
I know this is a very old thread but... same question. I am kind of in disbelief that all the music players for Android are so poor, but it seems they are… can anyone recommend a player that correctly handles music with various artists in a single album (which is very common)?
Ideally one which also supports the ability to search the music collection, and replaygain.
How is it that with the numerous apps available, there are still none with as many features as Windows Mobile had several years ago? *shakes head*
Hi, I've got a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone). I'm looking for a free application that can play FLAC audio files.
The inbuilt music player (in TouchFlo 3D) and the Windows Media Player recognise and play normal mp3s fine.
I have tried GS Player
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/
but I didnt like the interface and still couldnt get it to read my FLAC files.
Can someone help me please?
PocketPlayer can play FLAC it's not free but well worth the price considering features.
Use TCPMP player, it's great for flac files
Look here:

I copied some FLAC files to be sim card but I cant even see them. When I open ASTRO I cant even see them? How do I play FLAC? I am trying to use WinAMP.
