Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

Hey everyone,
Ever since I went to a 6.5.1+ Roms (currently on EnergyRom Leo 6.5.3 Dec 4th), I noticed that Coreplayer lags considerably when HTC Sense/Manila is running. Once I turn it off, Coreplayer plays nice again.

This is using QTV on a fresh reboot. Any fix to this?

No fix & the video out doesn't work with the newer ROM's either (blue flashing problem again)

I have a TON of DVD rips that are h.264 (mp4) files. Using the stock VZ ROM Core worked perfectly.

Now, using Juicy R3 with manila 2.5 CP is basically worthless to me. I use video out every day & I have had to go back to playing movies with either Album or WMP for now...........(those two give perfect playback so I guess its not the end of the world, certainly annoying however)

I didn't believe you at first but I just confirmed what you experienced. I'm on the same rom, using CorePlayer 1.3.6 to watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in full screen mode (not optimized for mobile viewing). Here are the benchmark results for the first 60 seconds:

Manila 2.5 enabled: 66% speed
Manila 2.5 disabled: 104% speed

As you might imagine, the it's basically unwatchable with Sense enabled whereas 104% is enough to play the show without frames dropping.

No fix. It's something about how manila uses resources. Someone created a script that shuts off manila and opens coreplayer and turns manila back on when you exit core player (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=52).
You just need MortScript for it to work.

thanx to john cursing my phone, i had the"blue fliker" lastnight using tv out. lol this was on mm new build, switched sdcards to my other tp running juggs beta 2.1 and it didnt do it, very strange.

LOL, that's annoying as hell -isn't it??

I thought this problem was FINALLY gone for good when the last couple versions of CP worked so perfectly with the stock Sprint & Verizon ROM's.

Then, I flashed to MightyROM & the problem came back worse than ever......(I'm not blaming the ROM, it has done it with every custom TP2 ROM that I've tried)

It's 6.5+Manila... Hopefully Coreplayer come out with an update...

Re: Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

but its the first time it did it to me on 6.5, and it worked fine on the other tp2 with 6.5 and 2.1, same movie too. (still think it was john) lol

LOL! Darren you were the only one who had Coreplayer working perfectly on your 6.5+2.1 phone too!

well johs working on it now so i cant, see, hes offline sticking another pin in his voodoo tp2 doll with my name on it.

Re: Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

You'll just have to fight back with the voodoo you were previously using to accelerate your tp2. \\:D/

Re: Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

Haha. Does the blue screen go away when you turn off manila?

Re: Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

not sure, i pulled the sdcard(swore at john) and put it in other tp2, if it does it again, ill try it.

Re: Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

HAHA! Wish a magic new version of Coreplayer would come out and solve all these problems...

Re: Choppy video playback on Coreplayer w/ 6.5.x ROMs?
 

i emailed them today, when i hear back, ill post. im sure theyll listen to me. lol

Any updates here on the blue flickering?

Seems to be a memory issue or a video processing power issue as someone put it.

Supposedly turning off all radio improves it a bit - haven't had a chance to try it myself... Maybe turning off radio and manila would make it go away.

Coreplayer support has not responded to any of my support tickets and its been a week.
