Video Playing Formats - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

I posted this in what I came to realise was a very old post in the Blackstone so I thought I would duplicate it here for my device.
I just purchased CorePlayer. It gave me v1.3.6 not 2.5. Anyway I have tried a divx and avi film. With both I just saw a green haze for a bit and I then needed to soft reset the device to recover.
I downloaded the cab not exe and installed it directly onto the device. My films are on storage.
I get a "Copy & Convert" dialogue box with "Convertion (None)" and it seems to do nothing for a while but it does seem to copy the file across ok. What that means is I can see it in explorer. That said it seems to take several runs at it and the bars never go beyond three or so.
Have I just got the wrong resolution?
Any ideas?

go to Tools > Settings... > Select Page > Video
Video output GDI
Smooth Zoom On

Spot on. Works a treat. Many thanks!

TCPMP works on HD2

Hello all,
I don't know if there is already a post concerning that.
After many hours of search, i found a version of TCPMP which is operationnal on HD2 !!!!
URL : http://portegeclub.ru/file/multimedia/TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4-CAB.rar
IF you are like me, the first video was completly green .... so open TCPMP, go to options/video and choose GDI instead of Directdraw
I hope that is going to help you, beacause personnally, i'm fed up about DIVX player (i have to big fingers ;-))
PS : sorry for Thierry Henry hand against Ireland .....
for me it also worked when in directdraw options I choose YV12 and with better performance than GDI
for it doesn't work with YU12 option but with YUY2 option
Thanks kheni - crashed my hd2 about 5 or 6 times trying to play video earlier today on loads of tcpmp hacks - this does the trick nicely
I've downloaded before the Alpha4.1 cab for this.. not sure whether it's the same. But I can't find the YUY2 thingy in any part of the setting. Care to elaborate further?
Edit: I've found the setting. Seems like there is no difference between the two cabs.
Request
For Firiel & Kheni
Like Sian, Could you please tell me where you find the YV12/YUY2?
Thanks in davance

It's in the "Setting", one of the last under 'Options'. Go to 'Direct Draw', choose it at the 'Select Page'. Then you can see the options to select YUY2.
Interestingly, the movie I encode for Touch HD now playable not only via the HTC Album media player, but also by TCPMP, but sometimes can see the lag. I think the processor is stronger now.
Thanks
Thanks Sian for your quick response.
Goin' to try now.
See you
Franky
You might want to try the "Raw Framebuffer" setting, see how it compares to DirectDraw. (On a TP2 it's faster). You could also try using DirectDraw, but with the "use blitting instead of overlays" box ticked in the DirectDraw settings page. There are lots of interesting combinations to try.
Thanks
Thanks, this version working fine on my HD2 but not read flv files (it crashes my HD2 everytime I test a flv file).
Maybe someone will find THE solution.
Thanks again
Franky
Best config for TCPMP for the HD2
The configuration explained there (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5162820&postcount=31) apply to TCPMP too ;-)

I cant even run it. Everytime I try it crashes immediately
Try this one. Its works fine on my HD2 with 1.43 stock rom.
http://www.4shared.com/file/89175177/89c24ac7/TCPMP_v081RC1Beta_Touch_HD.html
Altough as per first post you do need to change from directdraw to GDI to get rid of the green screen issue.
Its also v0.81 beta which is the last ver made.

I have it working now as I found a recompiled version, but before that you clicked the exe to start it and instant crash, you couldnt even get to a menu to change any settings.
the setting from the first post works for me. THANK YOU!!
Hey Kheni,
Looked for hours to get TCPMP working again on my new HD2 as I watch many series everyday in the train to my work. Great job and many thanx!!! You give me back hours of time killing...

Guys, I installed and tested the subtitles with this version. Just past the files in the TCPMP program folder. Then options and load the subtitle you want. *.srt works fine!!!
It is the ultimate movieplayer now...
The linkt to the subtitle add on:http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpsubssubtit/files/tcpmpsubssubtit/0.54%20Beta/SUBS054.zip/download
It works!
Have to use direct draw, overlay format yuy2 and unchecked both "overlay with colorkey" and "use device stretching for blitting"
When using GDI rather than directdraw, there is video stuttering during playback

Another Coreplayer thread - WAS ok but not any more?

Last night I tried to play a video on my phone with Coreplayer (v1.5) and whilst it used to work perfectly and play videos REALLY well, it was now awful quality. Was as if the settings for video had reset to default so I tried changing them (smoothing and GDI or Directdraw output) but it keeps making the program crash when I try this, or immediately afterwards.
I've reinstalled Coreplayer (tried 1.3 and 1.5) and it just keeps crashing when I change the output settings, except for once when it let me change them but was still very jerky video, and then it crashed anyway a couple of seconds later. This is using video files that HAVE played fine in the past.
I've removed S2U2 again and rebooted as I had just installed it the day before, then reinstalled Coreplayer again and still get the same issues. It just seems incapbale of playing video properly now for some reason. I know the settings that work well for it as I did have it working perfectly before, but it just crashes now if I try changing them.
I can't think of anything else that I've added recently which may cause this. Not sure what else to check but there must be something I've changed on the phone that's caused this?
Videos work well if I play them by double tapping them in Total Commander, but silly as it sounds I don't know what player this is using to play them! It's not wmp anyway.
Looks like an HTC player maybe but I can't find an actual video player in winmo apart from WMP. There must be a place in the start menu somewhere for this player but I can't find it. It's not in the Multimedia folder in the start menu either so I'm confused!
Annoying because I'm halfway through a film this morning and after going back to home screen, I now don't know how to resume playback without restarting and trying to find the place I was at.
Any ideas? I've looked at other coreplayer related threads but they all seem to be along the lines of just the output settings being wrong and I got no results when I searched for the words coreplayer & crash.
When did 1.5 release?!?! Let me check....
BTW, what ROM are you on? Cooked or Official??
Oops! Sorry, I meant to write 1.3.2 and 1.3.5!!!
My bad.
I'm using the 1.61 official turkish rom.
You sure it is 1.5? Can't find a hint anywhere!
Duh.. ok, try the 1.3.6 yet?
Thought I was the only one to see this problem, though it did occur with previous HTC devices and Coreplayer for me. Occasionally the database file (Application Data\Coreplayer\library.db) seems to get corrupted (I think when Coreplayer is running, you attach the device to a PC in USB disk mode and say yes to a prompted database rebuild). If you delete the library.db file with File Explorer or an equivalent program. it should rebuild it OK. Quite annoyingly, this file doesn't get deleted when Coreplayer is uninstalled, so an uninstall/reinstall doesn't resolve this.

re: htc hd encoder & droid/ program is crashing

re: htc hd encoder & droid/ program is crashing
I just tried using this program for the first time today, I started by using clips of BD movies to test things out. That went fine, and I was able to get the best looking vids out of many encoders I have tried.
The trouble started when I went to encode several movies in a batch, having felt that I had settings dialed. Right at the very end of 1st pass, or transition to 2nd (of first movie in batch), I get MEncoder has stopped working, etc, followed by "Muxing failed. Rerun with -debug and post the generated log.txt file!". I'm not sure what rerun with -debug means exactly, I looked in the tools folder but didn't see anything resembling that. HERE is link to log.temp, I did not see any log.txt file (direct file attaching not working).
I'm running win7 x64 and at first thought it was a compatibility issue, so I changed everything in compatibility tab to vista sp1, this unfortunately did not work, and it behaved exactly the same.
Any ideas on why it's doing this?? Will try different movie meanwhile.
many thanks,
rlr

TCPMP subtitles?

Hi, i have posted this post in another xda forum, but i think it would be better to post it here:
I have installed
- TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4
with the subtitle plugin
- SUBS054
I can load a subtitle-file of the type .SMI or .SRT and play it in windowed mode and see the subtitles but they are playing at the top of the screen backwards and mirrored or something. Its very hard to see what it says.
If i go into landscape-mode it gives me and error when there comes a subtitle-line and closes program.
I will attach the program and the subtitle plugin.
Thx, Qwak
Tcpmc with subs and nice skin
Here a cab for you... just try it....
Problem solved
Hi, thanks for the program, it looks way better than the other TCPMP player i had.
And now the subtitle-problem is solved, not because of the new program though, just because i was sitting and tried some different things.
I was about to write this VERY long post about what to do and what i had done, and i was almost done after about 25 mins i think, when i suddently started thinking: maybe its just the videofile thats not compatible, so i tried another videofile with the same subtitles and it worked perfectly!!!!
The incompatible videofile was a .WMV which i had compressed with windows movie maker. Since that doesnt work, i would like to find a good videocompressor cause theres not enough space on my MS... properbly just gonna buy a new one, but if anybody knows a good videocompressor for free, please post here!!
Thx Qwak

[Bug Report] MX Pro 1.7.32 crashes after playing every vid

Hi--I have used this a long time, suddenly it has become non-functional, I suspect due to the 1.7.32 update, but not sure.
--Android 4.3 (I've avoided 4.4 to retain full functionality of the SD card...)
--MX Pro 1.7.32
--Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014
--Could not follow directions for alogcat because the nature of the problem makes MX unuseable once it crashes--there is no way to hit the "settings" button in MX Player Pro at that point.
PROBLEM
So, I bring up my file list as per normal. I click on a vid. The vid does not play. In fact, there is merely a blank screen. Eventually I'm returned to the home screen of the tablet and advised that MX Player has crashed. Sometimes, I don't even get the blank screen. It just automatically disappears and returns me to the tablet's home screen. Once that happens, the program never works again (until reinstalled or data cleared) and won't even let me into the program. Clicking its icon simply brings up a blank screen, then I get "Unfortunately, MX Player Pro has stopped..."
Troubleshooting
I have tried clearing cache, data and also reinstalling. The last two DO allow me to once again bring up the File List from "folders view." It looks normal once again. However, once I try to play vids, the same, exact result occurs, i.e., nothing actually plays and the program crashes with the screen going blank.
CLUES
a) I also have this on my phone, where it continues to work fine, but on my phone, I only have a handful of FLVs. The tablet has lots of other formats, primarily mp4. On my Note 4 phone, however, I'm running 4.4 KitKat.
b) If I access the video in a roundabout fashion, by clicking on it from a File Manager, the File Manager then offers to play it with the native vid player OR Mx Player. Then, it works fine. The exact same video. Of course, then I can't access any other parts of the MX P program, and I am no longer able to use the file list Mx Player P builds.
c) I tried playing with various settings, like hardware decoder, and what not, but it did not seem to help much.
My thought is that the version supporting Lollipop has done something that Samsung does not like in conjunction with 4.3
Any thoughts welcomed. TIA

Already there is a sticky thread in which I have already explained the procedure to collect the log immediately after crash.
Install MX Log collector app
Open It immediately after the MX Player Crash
Save the logs & Upload here
Does it crashes in all decoders?
If you are using H/W+ disable it & Check again.
long press the video & select Play using | S/W decoder
Check whether it still crashes or not.

It does not matter whether or not I use HW or SW decoding.
I upgraded the tablet to KitKat. That did not matter either.
I tried to upload the log files from MX Log here. Each time (3x now!) it gave me "invalid file" and refused to accept the upload. Oh, well.

It would not let me post links even with asterisks. I took out the http in its entirety. That didn't work either. I took out the dropbox reference as well. That did not work either. Have no clue at this point.
*Indeed, it wouldn't even let me quote your post with the partial link you referenced.

FYI, just in case it helps, not as a "zing," BS Player works fine and normally. MX continues to work (on tablet and despite recent updates) only when a file is clicked from My Files file manager. It just won't deal with its own list of videos.

@monsieurms There was an issue on Note 10.1 2014 European ROM and it might be fixed on 1.7.34
Please try latest version also try clear app data, MX Player's internal database looks like corrupted. This issue is also fixed but once corrupted database will never be recovered.

I tried it again--I'd already done that after upgrading to 1.7.3.4---but it did not help. I am not in Europe---North America.

@monsieurms Would you send log again using 1.7.34? Thanks!
Given your comment on list db corruption and the fact that some vids in small directories do work, I tried copying all the vids to a new directory. That didn't work.
I cleared data again and also downloade the arm7 Neon custom codec specified in the Decoder settings. That did not help either. (It did find and install the codec.)
With the clues you gave me, I experimented a little. In particular, I noticed that some vids in small folders (small in terms of # of videos), played fine. I thought at first, as mentioned earlier in the thread, it was a difference in format. But as we've seen, all the videos play fine if accessed from File Manager--so that's not it. With the addition of your clue on database corruption, I thought perhaps the issue was folder size. I divided the one large folder into two, 50-50. That fixed it.
I would say you have still an issue here---the program chokes with a large of vids in the database. It doesn't seem to bother other programs, including the native video player and BS, and it didn't seem to bother MXp Pro until the recent wave of updates. So, I suspect something went wrong somewhere.
