[Q] How to use HTC Youtube app to play locally saved .FLV? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi, i tried to search forum, but didn't find anything on that...
As we all know, our TP has a hardware accelerated playback of .H264 and .Flv, but in only works with several apps (WMPlayer, HTC album and HTC Youtube). But the question is, how to play locally saved .FLV on device?
It's so stupid situation when I open HTC youtube, watch video in HQ with perfect performance and then save that video to sd card and have 2-4 fps in CorePlayer -))))
Does anyone know how to fix that problem?

I play them with core player with no issue; I used to use tcpmp, and that worked fine as well. Maybe you need to play with the core player settings some. I can't tell you off the top of my head what I use, but youtube videos play really well with the latest core (1.3.7, or something like that).

Thanks for you answer. I'm currenty using CorePlayer 1.3.6, it works with low and mid quality videos, but with 480p it has very bad perfomance, while HTC Youtube shows them perfectly from Internet...
Hm.. I can't find 1.3.7 version of Coreplayer, may be you meant 1.3.6?

Yeah, it's 1.3.6 build 7427.
I have it set on qtv display with high quality and the tytn ii driver mode checked. It plays pretty well, imo.
I'm pretty sure you can't play any local videos with the HTC player, which renders it next to useless, imo. I prefer having a player for everything as opposed to different players for everything. I'm not sure that the htc player plays .flv streams, anyway. I thought it played .3gp streams, but it's been a while since I used it.

video encoding for VOGUE/HTC Touch

I've been searching but can't find it... everything in the forum seems to have vogue as a tag...
What are the parameters / codecs to encode video to play on the vogue, either in the default player or the wm player?
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
Good luck!
I have read somewhere (Sorry can't remember where) that the vogue cannot play video's very well - has something to do with the type of processor it has. Sorry I wish I could be of more help.
I have HTC Elfin and use pocket divx encoder to encode video's for playback on my device and use TCPMP to play the video's without any problem.
Hopefully the app in the link provided above works for you
The application referenced here does a pretty good job - but there are audio sync issues.
Using a similar profile in Super yields slightly lower video quality (because it is one pass encoding) and the audio is more in sync.
Are there other "less processor intensive" codecs that one should use to encode video to this device? Space is not the issue - I have an 8gb micro SD card..., I want decent quality that I can watch.

Does that have presets for the TOUCH ?
I have a dozen media converters installed on my PC, so would prefer not to have more if I can create a configuration to use one I already have... codecs / bitrates, etc.

core player stuttering while playing avi

hi.. I've just bought a D2 and installed coreplayer. I dun seem to be able to play anything smoothly. Can some one provide their settings for a smooth playback please ? thanx for your help
It's hard to help without having any info about your ROM,Coreplayer version etc. I guess it's a bitrate problem that is just too high. Generally, DIVXs downloaded from internet or DVDRips are meant to be played on PCs and I never managed to play them smoothly directly in Topaz. My solution is to convert (everything is automatic) video files with HTC Touch HD Video Converter. You'll get a smooth and detailed playback on Coreplayer and HTC Album.
My Coreplayer 1.3.0 b.6213 video settings are:
Video output: QTv Display
Video quality: High
Smooth Zoom: On

AVC/h.264 Playback

Hi.
Is there a way to watch AVC/h.264 Videos on the HD2?
I've tried it with different Videos from nfl.com, for example this http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d814c6a83/NFL-GameDay-Patriots-vs-Dolphins-highlights - ripping it from the website first and saving it on the storage card of the HD2. Core-Player says it doesnt support AVC/h.264. The default Multimedia-Player on HD2 freezes on loading the videos.
It would be great to have a way watch this kind of videos on the hd2.
Thanks in advance and regards.
strange you say that. both coreplayer and the default player from HTC can play AVC video for me.
Strange... then maybe is something special about the videos on nfl.com. They arent playable on both on Core and HTC-Player.
I re-encoded the clip. Its still AVC - but a different profile. The HD2 now plays it.

CorePlayer AC3

Hi all,
anyone know a player that I can throw anything below and including 720p (especially: Star Wars: The Clone Wars 720p MKV releases - these shinies have AC3 sound and x264 video) at and it will play fluently on a HD2 without having to re-code them?
TCPMP may, depending on the version you get ahold of, either crash, don't play the video or the sound or have massive stuttering issues (hello? a HD2 has a 1 GHz/750MHz CPU? And an acceleration unit?).
CorePlayer... well, needs a recode as it doesn't know AC3. Any way to give him a 3rd party plugin?!
Marco
plus1 its a shame VLC doesnt go
Moved as not software release.
You'll find that the data read speed from SD won't be up to the task, MKV can be turned into .avi without a long recode time. "i'll update later as friend can provide more info just mem him saying it was done in minutes"
the point is, I want to save me the recoding time and diskspace...
I have AC3 plug-in to TCPMP
Me too, but TCPMP is awfully slow in playing stuff (if it loads at all)
What?! AYFKM? TCPMP working very fast and playing non converted AVI movies smooth withiout any audio video async. Try it - for me is much better than Core Player and additionaly is for free.
the core player IS actually tcpmp,but with new brand and some minor stuff
You got one build that is HD2 compatible? Can you pls point me to the thread?

Finally a player that is better than rockplayer

Today i have a free application to recommend (MoboPlayer) , it's still on beta.
Official website : http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
Tested this application with a 720p MKV anime and it can play smoothly on it, tried it on rockplayer and it lag like hell.
However I think it's only work on 720p with around 30fps since Sony capped the max fps. Tried it with 24fps video and no problem with it.
It's support almost every type of video files just like rockplayer but have a nicer interface but you have to add the video into it's library in order to read.
Download link extracted from the website: http://update.moboplayer.com/android/release/mobo_1.0.120_v7_neon.apk
Please try it and comment below.
it did not even find my media,while other players did!
Awesome player! Confirmed but not high volume videos.

You have to set the folder for your video and wait for it to be add to the library.
VITAL player is best
VITAL is better i guess
I have a 200MB .mkv file It plays in VITAL
Laggy in moboplayer/
i`ve tested a file with vital player
720p - 28 minutes - 1GB - mkv file - audio ac3 5.1
the vital player cant play it smooth and correct.
its very laggy. will test the mobo player next...
Now i can uninstall QQPlayer Vplayer nice...
V Player is BEST !!
I use Meridian Player and it seems to play files very smoothly. I shall give this one a shot though.

I´ve tested mobo player now with the same file...
i cant understand why everybody is talking that kind of **** in this thread!?
pls believe me that there is no player for sony x10 which can play "real" 720p files well without async audio and laggy frames.
buy next phone with dualcore and i think its possible...
THE BEST Video player i ever seen for android .... way better than Vplayer's stupid interface ..... thank you very much
I really LOVE MixZing for all my MP3s! Its got a clean, simple, and dark interface. For video I use mVideoPlayer for Anime because its the only one I know that automaticly got subtitles for my episodes.
VitalPlayer I've been using for video, but I don't like how it doesn't have a list of your media like mVideoPlayer.
I'm gonna try this new one and see what I think... the hunt to only use one continues.
Amazing it's the best player to this moment ..
I test a lot of player but this is the best thanks man ...

Which version of Vital Player is for the X10 as our devices are Arm7 but on Market it states that Vital Player Neon is suitable for our X10s, even though that version is suppose to be for Cortex A8 devices only???

Sigh... That's just plain ignorant... The X10 has a hardware decoder that can handle even 1080p without any problems... BUT since it's a hardware decoder, the video stream has to be in a format it understands. In the X10, that means H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4.
Any other codec needs software decoding and for that, there isnt enough CPU power to do at more than ~15fps for 720p. By dropping frames, that wont desync audio but it will be laggy to watch so that statement is just plain wrong. Dualcore also wont change that one bit.
As for container, atleast from what I've seen so far, no third party player has ever handled hardware decoding themself but always relied on the built in videoplayer for that and simply showing the output. That however limits you also to containers that the builtin player understands for this, which is only MP4, AVI and MPG. But that may very well change and if OP states that this player can play 720p MKV files, it may very well be the first player to properly implement calling of the hardware decoder itself. Will be intresting to see.
But please, learn what it is you're bashing before doing it. It saves people from having to come correct your misconceptions about what you're bashing.

read the first post and you can see that he was talking about MKV FILES !!!
But its the same with an 720p avi file... i dont have the chance to test the mp4 at the moment...
everytime i want to play a 720p movie (and not a camera record) its laggy on my x10.
you mean if i rip a movie in the mp4 there would be no problems at all?
Ok, so I just tried this player... and it is super awesome!! Easily the best one I've tried so far! Thanks for sharing!
it took my application sound files and paired it with my audio files. not cool.
Thanks for all your feedbacks. The 720p (1280x720) h264 mkv file that I tried run smoothly on it. As some of you stated it's still lag, therefore i tried a 720p mp4 file and the video is quite smooth however there's lot of distortion in the audio maybe due to the 5 channel audio.
Will try again tommorrow if I have the time.
Anyway one of the good points of this player is
1) Better interface
2) Able to choose dual audio track (English, Japanese) or dual subtitles (English, German etc)
3) Much more smoother than other player
4) More gesture function.
Hope you all can get the best out of this player. Have a nice day.
