[XPERIA X1 General] SomeoneSimple:
Most video's from the internet (P2P XviD's) have bitrates around 800kb/s @ 720x416 @ 24fps. Even without the "enhanced 2Mbit@30fps hardware acceleration" the MSM720*A chipset will do just fine within Coreplayer.

No worries there. :cool:

[edit] Oh, and my bad for the misunderstanding of the advanced options of Coreplayer. Though, 2Mbit still seems pretty far-fetched in my opinion.
[XPERIA X1 General] cadenza:
Yes, but I have many videos in very good quality with rates about 1.3-1.5 Mbps. Of course I don't need 2Mbps, but at least I want 1.5Mbps fluid. I hooooope...... Greez^^
[XPERIA X1 General] puerrican85:
I kinda agree with you, 2mbit seems kinda high to handle right off the bat. Im assuming at most around 1.2 in reality. Hopefully mine comes in asap but im hating this wait game for it >_<
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
Anyone managed to test this yet in CorePlayer? ))))))
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Tomorrow my phone turns up, assuming the Core team don't take weeks and allow me to get a new serial for my new phone, I have an 8gb micro SD card full of 350mb TV shows that I want to test. Will report back as soon as I can get CorePlayer on the phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] ahyi:
Waiting for your testing result.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Coreplayer is running Heroes for me right now. Unfortunatly I can't spend the full 45 minutes watching it, however it's looking pretty good at the moment.
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
Which bitrate is heroes in? 1Mbps xvid I assume?
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
Any updates on this? )
[XPERIA X1 General] miky7:
Hay all the lucky owners of xperia can you overcome the awe from playing with xperia and test the videos in the first post? It will be really nice to know the capabilities of the device. Preferably with the core player.
[XPERIA X1 General] miky7:
Hey all can you update us on the formats and resolutions you tested on Xperia?
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
i have tried the videos from the first archive namely 640x480 H264 at 24FPS

they all run really choppy and laggy, even the lowest bitrate of 800kbs

i used the latest core player...

so the X1 is not better than the HTC Touch Pro when it comes to video playback since there is nothing hardware accelerated.
[XPERIA X1 General] GermanGuy:
That is disappointing
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
i read something about different rendering settings in coreplayer but cant find anything in the options...maybe that would change something
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
What about "GTA4_Trailer_640-480.Xvid.24fps.1Mbps.avi" any luck with that file?
[XPERIA X1 General] Wishmaster89:
To all those that are trying to playback h.264 video@2mbps

Remember that it means h.264 baseline profile and not main profile. And even with Baseline profile we might not achieve 2mbps cause probably we need specific file requirements(by that I mean one with lowest quality settings).

Second thing. The only player using HW acceleration is wmp or the video player in media panel. Coreplayer doesn't use hardware acceleration!! They are working on it but it seems that they will have to spend more time on it cause they're not receiving any help from HTC and they have to figure it out on their own and sometimes it takes time.

Conclusion is.

We have to be happy that up to 800kbps it is apx. 100% playable. Maybe next time with Qualcomm Snapdragon we will get great video performance.

[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
What exactly does this mean? The video on WMP was way faster but you did a benchmark on coreplayer, so it might be that WMP just chopped the frames that couldn't fit realtime, while coreplayer played them all.
[XPERIA X1 General] on8a:
Nice video, but what are you trying to prove?

To do it right you have to play the file in CorePlayer in normal way and the use the Properties menu to see the framerate and the dropped frames. By using benchmark the player plays every frame and analyses it from there. Thats why you get slow video. I am convinced that you get the same or better performance from CorePlayer than from WMP if you use them under the same conditions. Tried it myself ;).

Give it another try with the right settings so you don't delude people...

qualcomm in wvga is very slow core player must be dedicated driver qtv
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
well i habe set Video Output to QTV but still the 640x480 videos is very laggy..approx. 5fps
[XPERIA X1 General] VaThInK:
Is it stuttering just with H.264 videos or with XviD videos as well? When you benchmark using Core Player what percentage did you get for both? Try these 2 videos.

GTA4_Trailer_640-480.H264.30fps.1.2Mbps_H.mp4

GTA4_Trailer_640-480.Xvid.30fps.1.2Mbps.avi

Thanks mate.
[XPERIA X1 General] Wishmaster89:
I already said earlier that CP doesn't use HW acceleration!! At least not yet they are still trying to figure out how to fully use it!! That is why only WMP will be able to give HW acceleration until CP release version with full HW acceleration.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
If someone can zip only those two files up I'll run them through benchmark. Just checked some of the original files and they are 55mb and my work won't be happy if I'm downloading those over their bandwidth (they are very fussy at the moment).
[XPERIA X1 General] QuadWord:
Just converted a simple .mov Trailer (pixars "up" from the apple movietrailerpage) via Quicktime to:

h.264 basline profile

638x362 (Wide) in 30fps bitrate:1629.41 kbits

44khz AAC stereo

and it is running without _any_ problems with mediaplayer !

Like Wishmaster89 already posted:

- Acceleration only in Mediaplayer

- h.264 baseline profile is working (i did not test any other profiles yet)
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
Wouldn't it be possible to crack the SE video player open and add xvid support?
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
That's not so easy. Unfortunately Qualcomm doesn't provide the datasheet for the chip, that way it is entirely a guess on how to utilize hardware acceleration and write proper drivers.

Their best shot would be to reverse engineer the part of WMP that uses hardware acceleration and that is quite difficult too.

Damn Qualcomm and any other chip manufacturer that won't provide freely datasheets for their products. All they care is to make money with lots of different licenses and have total control over their hardware. With that attitude the modding community is seriously handicapped.
[XPERIA X1 General] simdao:
It can play the H264 ACC MP4 (800x480 resolution, 800kps Video & 192kps Audio) Video very smooth on Windows Media player & XPanel Video player only

The same video play on CorePlayer & TCPMP is very LAG and unacceptable. It seem the display driver is not supported in CorePlayer yet.

On beside, i tried encode the same video to DivX ACC MPEG4 but it very LAG on WM player & CorePlayer. seem X1 did not support the hardware decode on DivX MP4 video.
[XPERIA X1 General] Wishmaster89:
The guys from CoreCodec are working very hard to crack the HW acceleration so it could be used with CorePlayer but it's not that easy. If they will fail to do it properly even something as simple as ROM update will be able to destroy it so they have to work hard to find the best way for it to be used.

P.S. It's not Qualcomm who is responsible for not sending documentations of their HW its HTC who doesn't release SDK for their phones like apple did with iPhone.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
I tend to disagree. I've heard that for HTC Diamond and Pro HTC didn't buy the license to use hardware acceleration. So the ability to do so is there but they can't because of the restricted license.

I am not sure that an SDK can alleviate the problem. Of course HTC and SE can't release any chip details about the hardware acceleration capabilities of the Qualcomm chip. Another layer API could help though but I am not sure how much. Keep in mind that the "SDK" is the Windows Mobile platform which everyone can program through various utilities. Likewise Apple released their SDK for software development. The hardware acceleration issue though is something completely different. We are talking about a specific feature of a specific chip that is OS independent.

Also I insist blaming Qualcomm for their restricted datasheet tactic because even if SE and HTC won't release an SDK the modding community could make their own. See for example the Android project on Raphael. It would be much easier if the modding community had a datasheet.
[XPERIA X1 General] puerrican85:
Just got my x1 in today and based on what everyone said so far CP does not play back videos smoothly. However I find Sony's Video/Music player performing perfectly for H.264 encoded videos at 800x448 at a 1Mbit Rate. Will try higher rates but at 1mbit I had no loss in quality to begin with.

I used Videora Ipod Converter and made a seperate conversion profile for the x1 with a max resolution of 800x448 using the h.264 encoding at 1mbit rate.

I tried WMP as well and although it played back my videos okay I found it to be slightly slower as compared to the Sony player.

Tomorrow I'll play more with the device but at least from my tests the device can handle 800x448 size videos if properly encoded.
[XPERIA X1 General] cheese098:
really watchable (in WMP & Media Panel) are only the:

640*480, 800kbps, MP4, L

640*480, 1.2mbps, MP4, L

and

800*488, 800kbps, MP4, L

none of the "H" videos are working (audio only)

P.S. Coreplayer in QTv mode plays AVIs (like Prison Break, Top Gear aso. really nice. only about 20-25% frames are getting dropped)
[XPERIA X1 General] simdao:
I tried many video resolution and found X1 able to play 800x450 (16:9) stable with 1.3 baseline profile.

But if the video file is 800x480 it will cause the video playback quality become unstable.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cshort0982:
This should be interesting...

In 60 days Google could be banned from shipping Pixel units to the U.S.

The International Trade Commission has issued a exclusion order and a cease and desist order against Google after ruling that it infringed on five patents belonging to Sonos.

www.phonearena.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Bah. I doubt if it would ever happen, but we'll see! :) The ban, that is. I'm sure Google will make a deal - and probably a not necessarily ethical (and definitely super secret) deal.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
An earlier report of another newssite that I have subbed claimed that only older Pixels (1-4, maybe 5) were affected by this, which means that Google probably won't have to care, since it's main selling point is now the Pixel 6.

Now I cannot verify this, and since your article claims the opposite that discussion is now an an impasse.

Anyway, this should have never happened. But Google being Tech giant, same as all others, they like to infringe on copyright. I've seen Microsoft, Apple, Google and all the other big names do that. Usually if they "care" enough about a patent that they want to avoid fines, they just buy the company suing them or owning the patent, thats mostly Apple's style though. Just buy the competition so it can never hurt you.

In the end @roirraW "edor" ehT will probably be right, Google usually waits until the very last moment, until the bend and pay money (just take a look at the most recent Youtube TV problems with disappearing channels and Google only getting willing to pay the last available nanosecond).

[OnePlus 9 Pro] tlarm:
Something I figured out on my 9Pro is that it would only stay in EDL mode for about 10 seconds if nothing was done. It would then boot into recovery or fastboot. Here's how I got mine to work, with the phone powered off I got the MSM tool all set up to go. If your phone is starting up as soon as you plug the cable in make sure you're holding vol up and down while plugging in, otherwise pwr+vol up+vol down. As SOON as the device connects hit the start button on msm tool (if you wait msm tool would not start because the phone was no longer in edl mode). The flash then went through and I was back to Android 11. Hope that helps.

It took a few tries but I got it to work.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] herrieberry:
I'm glad that it's working again!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:
Thank You guys.

ITS ALIVE AGAIN.

Conclusions.

Its a strange thing, OP9Pro doesnt stay in EDL mode as mentioned above. So you can not connect phone to PC and then start MSM tools. You have to have MSMtools ready waiting the phone to connect. Last phone I had was OP8T and it holded EDL mode and to enter edl mode to flash with MSMtools you had to hold volupdown until connected and release immideately. OP9Pro is different : you have to hold push volupdown, connect to PC with ready/waiting MSMtools and hold another 8-10 seconds until it connects in EDL mode. otherwise it goes to fastboot again. Tricky.

If the method doesn't work

Then you may need to unpack it to confirm whether the WW version of the 5th generation has built-in

Then you can only use my method

Do not decompress zip

Put into \Android\data\com.asus.themeapp\files\themes

Go to the theme store, download one and apply it

Then use the video method

This method will result in failure to apply completely. For example: icon
