TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

is CorePlayer a new version of TCPMP? did it switch names, or is it something completely different? thanx for you input ^^

TCPMP is the "beta" version of Coreplayer. All coreplayer has over tcpmp is the fancy gui and I think a codec or two. I don't use the extra supported codecs and stick with tcpmp since .72 supports .flv while coreplayer cant (due to rights issues).

^Right, 9/10 coreplayer isn't worth it.

TCPMP is the best out there IMHO.

I have this set up running You Tube (the real One not Mobile Just Fine) But what if you have a *.flv on your card how can I play that ???? C'mon you've all saved a flv or two from FireFox ....like I said you tube (real one) runs wonderfully, ( theres video settings if its choppy look at them !! They Made a difference ! ) But what If I HAVE the flv.. I cant open it in TCPMP or MediaPlayer mobile...lil Help Plezzz

?? You know you don't need FF to save them right.

There a plugin out there that'll let you play them just fine, the latest Skunkware flashmovieplugin will let you save the .flv from the device itself.

I'm sure someone has the plugin on here, if you find them, just move the 2 files over into TCPMP's folder & you're set.

Search in some of the Stickies in the Titan section, you might find it.;)

In "Advanced Configuration", I just assigned .FLV files to be played by TCMP and can play ones that I have downloaded. :)


What I can't do (yet) is play FLV files online from sites other than YouTube. :( I always get the message that a new Flash Player is needed. Does anyone know how to make TCMP play other online FLVs?

I can play h.264 videos on my sprint touch using tcpmp, but I seem to consistantly get choppy frame rates in the same parts of the clips...
I have attached two zip files to this post which contain two h.264 2-minute clips I ripped from #1 dvd burner from the movie Tears of the Sun. If someone could play them both for me in coreplayer I'd really appreciate it. I also think this will help people to figure out whether or not Corplayer is really better than TCPMP (Youtube issues aside)
also - there is no nudity, language, or violence in either of the clips for anyone who might be concerned....thanks for the help!

this is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! I lost mine and cant find it anywhere...anyways, +1 for tcpmp for me. Not really pretty but it handles EVERY type of file i can throw at it. Of course h.263/264 are choppy b/c the mogul is not powerful enough to decompress the video fast enough for smooth playback. MJpeg also will not work. With that said i like that i can amplify the music in tcpmp(i like LOUD music for my workouts), slow it down,
speed it up, all that stuff. I do wish there were skins though.

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

why use tcpmp 0.72 and not 0.81?

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

Yes, they are both by corecodec company. Coreplayer costs $ though

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

I have purchased Coreplayer and I will say that it does a better job of playing my H.264 vids then TCPMP .81 . I definitely get smoother playback and less dropped frames. The Youtube function is realy nice too...

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

I find CorePlayer to be totally buggy and bloated. I tried the latest version this weekend with a number of different sources, and it locked up and misbehaved more often than not. I will stick to TCMP, thank you very much.

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

An unanswered question?
0.72 works with Skunkworks flashvideo bundle and all zbop's most excellent links.
0.81 doesn't.

TCPMP is definitely the best player I've used so far.

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

Ok, so I cannot eve play these videos on my tcpmp, it says something about mpeg4 not supported

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

???????????????????????????????

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

You really can't tell the difference a sceen this small anyway. Not even slow computers can run this format. If a ppc can do it, it's pretty impressive.

Re: TCPMP vs CorePlayer
 

I also have a Sprint Touch and have a weird problem playing h.264 videos in TCPMP. I have the AVC plugin and they play beautifully until the 1 hr 42 minute mark, after which the video is corrupted and unwatchable. The same videos play fine in CorePlayer, WMP, and Conduits Pocket Player. The last two players only work because of the built-in h.264 support on the Touch. Same thing happens on my PDA with TCPMP. I suspect it's a compatibility issue between my ripper (PQDVD) and the TCPMP plugin, but the videos work everywhere else (including an iPod). Is anyone else seeing this?
