hello friends.. I read that coreplayer v1.1.3 was made to provide more performance to HTCs with Qualcomm..
is anybody using it? I installed v1.1.3 in my kaiser, but it doesnt play AVI files.. I donto know why... v1.1.1 plays avi...
Should I install codec to play AVI with v1.1.3?
No it's not the driver solution, but they did do a good job of taking advantage of somethign in there, i dont quite remember what, something to do with the qualcom chip or imageon or something but no, it's not the driver solution that we want from HTC.
And you probably need to set file preferences for avi's or something (in preferences menu somewhere), right now maybe they are by default being opening by something else?? I have no problems opening avis right out of the box.
I configurated it to play all files in Preferences/file associations,, but it doesnt work
I cant play avi files...
the main thread says it's a problem with the zoom feature, and you need to switch between video drivers (raw frame, gdi, q-whatever) and stop and restart app.
some people say better performance, but for me, high rez video still plays like crap, even if it's severely improved over the older beta/tcpmp versions. glad that the pocket divx encoder/lathe products are around...
i bought this. Cant see any major difference between this and old versions. all look crap.
Looks pretty good to me. Loving that the slider to forward or reverse the vid is smooth and doesnt choke up the damn device. zooming works nicer too.
Benchs Cplayer v1.1 vs v1.1.3
hello friends.. it gives high performance to my kaiser. take a look
Divx - 360x240, Bit rate 960kbps, audio mp3 192kbps, fps 25
kaiser..
v1.1.1
- mode Fit Best.. 50%
- mode Fill screen 93%
v1.1.3
- mode Fit best 175%
- mode Fill screen 180%
To compare..
TyTN (hermes)
v1.1.1 - 205% in both modes..
Hi guys!
Browsed the registry yesterday and found some stuff... the cam seems to have three settings for video resulotuion, high medium low, but there is only low and medium in the camera app, is there any way to unlock or whatever to be able to record higher quality (240x320 maybe??) vids? It might work fine if you run 240 mzh or more?
It seems that you can change the framerate too?
found it in hklm software htc camera
I have tried a higher resolution with a webcam app, but I don't remember the name of it. I think 320x240 still worked pretty good, higher resolutions were not really possible! So if you try to modify the registry, could you report back?!
Sure i tried some stuff yesterday, but it didnt work, ill work on it
found a way to unlock sports, burst and panorama mode in the cam app,
also managed to get 240x320 as a choise in video mode but when i select it the phone just "works" you know the round small rotating thing......
ill do some more research and then post all reg tweaks here... why havent anyone played with this before?
There is also this but it is buggy. If I remember correctly this allow to take higher res videos but the framerate is really bad.
Should be more people intrested in this...
Well i got higher res as an option in the cam app, but i think ill need a dll from a phone who supports higher res
Hy guys,
Just to know, I'm coming from my trusty Eten M700. I bought the HTC Touch Pro about one week ago here, in Romania.
And I must say the video playback seems way too sluggish for a phone like this. On the M700, with same coreplayer version (latest), with raw frame buffer and medium quality and no other modification I could play every video I wanted. Including 720x576 xvid clips.
On this one...no matter what I set (QTV, raw frame buffer, direct draw), everything seems a little too sluggish compared to M700.
do you have the same impression, or is it just me?
I just read another thread here about video performance but it had too much dissipated info.

Which is why it's great that you started a new thread to dissipate the info further. Read the other thread(s) again, this has already been answered and solved within coreplayer.

which topic is it? i have smilar issues
Untill now I have found that QTV with Medium acceleration, and dither on has the best performance, anyway less than m700. Setting the buffer to 8000 kb did not had any effect. Still want to hear from another pro owners what they think about this.
I agree, video playback just sucks! I hate Qualcomm processors, Xscale rulezzz!
However when I put QTv, my screen goes black and there's only sound.
How did you achieve to run it on QTv???

It depends on what kind of file you want to play with it. On mine, some 3gp and some clips compressed for mobile devices don't show anything on screen. Try to switch to raw frame buffer, and restart core player, maybe it helps?
Unfortunately the HTC Touch Pro is not the mulitmedia phone you want if your looking to run your non-mobile encoded videos. However it still can be a awesome video player if you encode videos to the right dimension and specs.
I took this past Sunday to play around with finding just the right video format and encode settings to play video as close to vga as possible. Unfortunately the Touch Pro can't play videos in full-vga resolution. HOWEVER, it can perfectly play videos in 480x320 which when you compare to a 640x480 video on the touch pro's 2.5inch screen there is no difference in quality what so ever.
When you play small videos on such a small screen you wont notice the difference in the resolution, however comparing a qvga (320x240) to the half vga 480x320 resolution you can definitely see a difference.
I use two different encoders, one being pocket divx encoder and the other videora iphone converter.
I encoded a bunch of animes and movies using pocket divx set to 480x320, 2-Pass, vhq enabled, around 850 video bitrate and 128kb stereo bitrate and all my videos look crisp on the Touch Pro and plays smoothly.
I suggest others to try it out and benchmark the playback yourself and you'll see it'll run at a easy 135%+ which is perfect for 100% smooth playback.

1.) I suggest check two things, one be sure you are running the latest build which I assume you are,
2) under preferences and under the Qtv page look to make sure "Tytn 2 driver mode" is enabled.
3) some builds have a issue of zoomed in pictures to a an extreme amount that only a black screen shows when first installed, set the zoom to 50% and then reset to the normal or best fit.
Hopefully those changes should help you out
UPDATE: Also there is one bug I know of with Coreplayer. When coreplayer is launched and left running in the back (or if still active on screen) should the device go into sleep mode and then come back you will not be able to see any video playing when choosing to start. You'll have to close coreplayer and reopen again, I noticed this the other day and just came into mind when experiencing just now again.
I almost agree with you puerrican but I think it's such a burden to reencode....I managed to get easy after I saw that everything encoded with h264, mkv and encoders like this can't be played in the pro. However, everything I had in my computer encoded in divx, xvid, normal things works just fine with the settings I put in some posts above. I just tried 700 MB DVDrip(around 1000 kbit/s and 640x272) and some videoclip(624x352 vbr around 2300kbits) both xvid and they worked ok. 688x400 AVC1 (h264) killed the pro.It's not just the resolution but also the encoder used.
EDIT: just saw the update and I wanted to mention that I'm also using the 1.2.5 build 4506 with tytn 2 mode enabled and qtv on medium selected. And touchflo3d is disabled and I'm using the spb shell (or something like that with icons on screen).
IDEA: I think it would be interesting playing back xvid 640x480 and h264 640x480 to test this idea of mine
Definitely it is pain to go and do that. Plus reencoding speed relies heavily on your pc specs, on a high end specs your looking at around 4-5 mins for a 2-pass encoded video of 24 min length. While a movie length of 90 mins or so your looking at at least 16-22 mins.
So expect much longer wait on a lower end thats not even dual core or lower clock rate.
Until pdas start sporting dedicated gpus from nvidia or other names windows mobile wont ever benefit on being a media playback alternative which is a nice plus for those not looking to carry 2-3 devices for music, pmp, pda, and phone. Wish HTC would look into intel processors for their next unit and possibly throw in a nvidia mobile gpu like the 5500 with a decent amount of video memory. I mean at this point in the technology chain its not even remotely impossible to do so... so whats the hold up with companies???
yeah, i have no problem with mp4 at 640x480 (640x360 widescreen). mkv at high res (above 640x480) is a little juttery. my movies are usually 24fps, 1000kbps, 640x360
got same settings as gigs
coreplayer is working on fix for v1.3
I'm at a lost, I tried playing 640x480 videos on my touch pro and it stutters way too much, how are you guys managing to have to it playback flawlessly?
I dont really get whats good about watching movies on a 2.5 inch screen...do you do that on such a regular basis that this is so important ?
Regarding Video, i just watch some short youtube clips and stuff like that...
Ever tried to watch a full length movie on such a small screen ? I did that on holiday on my ipod and its really hurting the eyes to concetrate on such a small screen for 90+ minutes... not really anything you want to do regularly...besides not reencoded videos take up alot of space on your memorystick...
i dont have a problem with reencoding some videos and stuff, full length movies arent meant to be watched on a phone anyway
Well, a 2,5 inch screen is a bit too small, but our Touch Pros have a 2,8 inch screen
I have a zune and it has a 3 in screen and was perfect for watching tv videos or movies, and thats half the resolution then a TP. Cant wait to get my hand on the TP !!!
To each his own, some ppl like being able to watch videos whenever the call comes. Sometimes when I have to wait for something like a class to start or I'm away from my pc, or even on a airplane or public transportation I like to be able to watch few episodes easily and clearly. A full blown movie yea its gonna be a nuisance for a long time depending on the person. But some are accustomed to it, I for one can easily watch 4-6 episodes in a row without getting any kind of headahce.
yep, its quite convient. all in one device. it has tv out as well, so since it is simalar res to tv, it looks great
music + movies on phone, no ned for mp3 player. plus i can stream movies off my pc
yeah i see that there is room for this, but i dont think many people use this so regulary that converting a few movies is that much of a pain. You will save a lot of space on your memorystick as well.
I have modifying 2 regentries and the video is now much better.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438318
Using CorePlayer the benchmark was before 75-95%,now 145%. on same videofile - Uncompressed VGA XviD.
Edit... I am sorry. It wasn't working. I just forgot,that I set the video quality to medium before.
You have to chose Medium Quality on Video Settings (with Qtv selected), otherwise it lags so much ..
Even on medium on motion scenses some frame drops
Video used for tests: RL_XQ_640x480_1500_128.avi (found somewhere here on this forum.. can't remember the topic name )
Ok, here's the deal. Slow Mo is great and all, but it's such a drag to access the feature that I never really use it. Open camera, go to video, then chose slow mo, then start and try to start the slowmo recording at the right moment. It's almost impossible.
My question is, are there any Apps or options for a Shortcut to the SlowMo. Like u just press one short cut and BAM! you are recording? (Or at least you are at the Slow Mo Camera recording screen)...
tnx.
PS: Did you guys saw how Samsung marketted the **** out of their (exactly same as the xzp) 960fps capabilities? They use the exact same feature. But they upgrade it with awesome software support like reverse play and gif making. They even added a feature that detetcs motion and starts the shooting automatically.
This said, I already opened a thread last year about how Sony fails in marketing and software where Samsung beats the crap out of every other phone manufacturer:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/how-to/how-sony-fails-marketing-xz-premium-t3651110"
It's impossible because the slow-motion is integrated to apk "camera"
