[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beta_boy:
ok.. suck me back in ;-)

Massive overhaul and code base clean up from the core > outward. Feature set comparisons are just as big although I will not go into the complete list... I will state the changes we have made public:

- CoreUI 2.0

- Finger Friendly UI (Mobile and Tablet)

- NVIDIA CUDA GPU support

- NVIDIA ION/ION 2 GPU support

- DXVA GPU support

- RMI/NetLogic GPU support

- ARM NEON support (CoreAVC)

- Matroska 2.0

- EBML 2.0

- Progressive downloading support

- Dynamic seeking support

- Advanced cache system

- APE support

- SSL support (Mocana NanoSSL)

- 30 Languages

- CoreAVC CPU optimizations

- Directshow support (WM/Windows)

Again.. that is whats public atm... the full changelog is about 10x longer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stoolzo:
Well then... there lays the problem...you have wasted all your time adding lots of lovely support for devices which your current customer base do not own, you should have concentrated on building a decent UI into the current base code and looked to improve its performance on quallcom chipsets. The next release looks like it will deliver very little for anyone with a current HTC handset... well done coreplayer, well worth the wait i'm sure.

Nice UI's and download options are candy for a dead or yet unborn baby, most people on here want to dump media on their Sd card and play it without any stuttering, that all they want, period. Get that right and you would have sold millions of units.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
You dont know that for sure man... Beta Boy says the changelog is 10x longer then what he just posted.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stoolzo:
i can guarantee there will be no significant performance enhancments for our chipsets, corrent me if I am wrong Beta_boy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beta_boy:
mmmm..... its both a yes and no.... but I did state "Directshow support (WM/Windows)" which would indicate we 'might' have the embedded GPU functionality of the onboard directshow decoders. This has to be done on a device by device basis as it is hard coded, and it also relies on the availability of the renderer in the chain.

But as far as Qualcomm is concerned... they have yet to provide any public info on any of their chipsets GPU functionalities or API schema... and we are relying on what we have found when reverse engineering.

Additionally.... ARM Cortex NEON A8/A9 support is now featured on many new HTC devices (and more coming). We now support these CPU instructions in CorePlayer 2.0 for CoreAVC (CoreMP3, CoreAAC, CoreASP coming next). We are seeing as much as a 40-50% improvement in AVC playback speed and more importantly a 75% reduction in overall battery usage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stoolzo:
slightly cryptic but nonetheless informative. Not good new for HD users but interesting for those about to upgrade. I dont know if anyone else is in a similar dilema to me but I am about to replace my HD and really dont know which way to turn, perhaps Beta can help?

Beta - I dare you to tell us which handset, current or upcoming will have the best file support and performance in coreplayer two, and secondly which non winmo handset.

Guys this thread serves nothing any more.

CoreCODEC policy is set by the company (be it one man, two or three). If what they decided is stupid or not, is to be decided by the Great Judge the Consumer.

I wish best luck to them. Hope they got some of our hints not as hate or flame only, but also read what we really told them.

In any case, as we say in Greece by a phrase that cannot be translated at all (:)), here is the opportunity, if there is someone to seize it, then do it.

Else, there is not much point whining to the guy any more.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
So ?! I didn't hear any serious announcement.

Another promise that you were unable to keep ?

Guess it means CoreCodec is unable to release v2.0. Betaboy, you cannot be taken seriously.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beta_boy:
Not to answer a clear flame post.. We did announce at MWC with Toshiba that CorePlayer will be included in the new line of smartphones that they are releasing. This will include CorePlayer 2.0.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beta_boy:
On a consumer release we are still working on the platform and adding features as we go.... Currently we are concentrating on Android as our goal is to get it out as one if the first platforms for 2.0.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donalgodon:
Do you think it will still be ugly?

Someone really needs to skin that thing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Ok, so it means it is still not ready...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kilrah:
Am I the only one with an HD2 for whom Coreplayer does not prevent the device from entering standby when playing music, thus stopping playback when pressing the power key to turn screen off? It's really highly annoying. Forces to bind a key to "turn screen off" either in Coreplayer itself or with other programs like AEBPlus, but of course half the time you forget to press the "other" key, press the power key as usual, and end having to turn the device on again, unlock, bring coreplayer up if it's not in the foreground, press pause and play to resume playback...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bugblatter:
Ahh, ok, that makes it clear then. It's not so much feature-creep; you just have other priorities.

I think we've been waiting a lot longer than them for the fabled new version (since November 2008 for me), but I guess you guys will focus on where you think the money is.

When you try to capture a new market you risk losing the old one. If you then fail to capture the new market, or find that there isn't much of a market after all, you don't have anything left.

The following you've enjoyed for so many years on WM is fragile; the likes of Kinoma Play could wipe you out.

I for one am looking elsewhere; I've bought KP and I'll see where that takes me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gtung3388:
You are not alone. But..... go for pocket player instead of coreplayer, it works perfect with my hd2 ,A2DP & AVRCP for bluetooth headset working fine as well.:p:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
I have no love for the makers of CorePlayer: they're a bunch of disorganised liars. But I nonetheless feel obliged to point out that they won't be quaking in their boots at the prospect of losing sales in a market which will shortly cease to exist. Windows Mobile is dead. It just hasn't stopped twitching yet.

If a WM6 version of CorePlayer were capable of running nicely on Windows Phone 7 it would make sense for them to make releasing it a priority; but, as we all know, WP7 will not be backwards compatible and won't run WM software. It therefore makes far more sense for them to hold off releasing anything at all until WP7 begins to establish itself and then release a version compatible with that - assuming, of course, that such a thing is possible (there are API and licensing issues) and useful (we don't really know what native multimedia support under WP7 will be like).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
Shasarak many of the things you say "we know", we don't.

We just read between the lines of some people speaking vaguely about WM7, which some of them only know from the marketing side.

We'll see.

The thing is that:

- WM6.5(.x) is not planned to die (at least yet).

- There is an established base anyway and new WM selling everyday.

- Since the most serious problem of Core is successfully hitting the hardware, this won't do them any bad and will be a knowledge base for ANY device (whatever OS) with related hardware (like snapdragon).

The thing remains: Core and the users, are clearly two disconnected objects. Core failed to realize this, if they pay for this only time will show (successful OEM relationships may be enough for them).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] beta_boy:
KP overall performance is something like 50% slower for playing H.264 video than even CorePlayer 1.x. A rendered UI has no place in a multimedia application without the UI being hardware accelerated (ie; eyecandy is not enough)... this is the lesson that MS has learned when it comes to their upcoming WM7 UI.

In both CorePlayer 1.x and in 2.0 we have balanced the UI performance capabilities with CoreUI (our user interface technology that's similar to QT or GTK) to ensure that it has a minimal impact on performance. In fact in most cases has a negligible % use, which in-turn increases the overall customer satisfaction.

2.0 is a major major milestone for us and something we have been working on for 2+ years now and we will not release it until its ready. Sure Operating systems have shifted and of which has made us think about what's next, what technologies to add and or remove. This is also a reason why you will see no less then 6 total CorePlayer 2.0 based products, of which more details are to come.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
Really good luck - hope you are making the right choices.

Only time will show.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Agreed. I chose Kinoma Play too. And I'm happy :p:)

At least the KP interface is great, smooth and finger-friendly. CorePlayer's interface is just ugly and very old. No comparison.

Mainly, the philosophy is different. Kinoma constantly updates its software and improve its interface. There are regular free updates that improve the whole experience with the soft. This is very respectful for the customers.

CorePlayer chose not to update seriously its v1 series based on an opensource soft, letting its paying customers stuck with a very old interface for 2 years now. These lucky customers will also have the 'chance' to pay again if ever they want to acquire the v2.0. Where is the respect?

I am more confident in the future of Kinoma Play. They are more dynamic and innovative. CorePlayer in my opinion is no more than one person (BetaBoy) unable to release any version 2.0. The v2.0 is promissed since 2008. Pathetic.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chainbolt:
Thanks for the information. I like the product and have been using it for a long time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
I mentioned exactly one thing that "we know". The rest of the "many things" that I supposedly mentioned exist only in your febrile imagination, I'm afraid. :(

And we certainly do know that WM applications will not run on WP7. (If you've heard anything to the contrary, please cite - but this is pretty well established now - see any number of threads over in the WP7 forum).

Windows Mobile's marketshare has been imploding for some years now. Its rate of implosion will inevitably accelerate dramatically once WP7 ships. Even if WM6.5 is seen on some new devices, they will (according to the more consistent rumours) only be those devices whose hardware is too low-spec to run WP7 - in other words, the type of device that doesn't have sufficient computing power to make proper use of CorePlayer. As owners of existing WM6 phones upgrade, they will upgrade to something that can't run WM applications (whether that's iPhone, Android, or WP7) so even the existing WM user market will rapidly shrink.

Coreplayer in its current form doesn't "hit the hardware" in any meaningful sense at all - everything is done without any form of hardware acceleration - so I don't quite follow you. What do you imagine they'll be building on, and why do you imagine this will be useful under WP7 which will have completely different hardware API's (if any)? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] .hide:
is core player a freeware any 1 got the download link for it? cant seem to find it around.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NiksonCG:
It is not freeware.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bugblatter:
Hardware acceleration used to be the main selling point of CorePlayer. Unfortunately they didn't keep up with the hardware so HW acc only works for seriously old phones.

Ironically media player does have HW acc and so it whups CP's butt, at least on the filetypes it's compatible with.

However I'm sure there have been suggestions from BetaBoy, if not outright confirmations, that there will be HW acc for SnapDragon in CP2.

Looking at the CP forums the lack of HW acc is one of the biggest complaints, even more than the ancient UI.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
It will apparently make some use of NEON instructions, but not GPU acceleration. The version of CorePlayer that ships with the Toshiba TG01 and Acer NeoTouch is hardware-accelerated, of course, but they're not allowed to sell you that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sonaya:
Can't find these settings. Don't see page VIDEO.:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bugblatter:
True; but with most, if not all previous Qualcomm chips they've not had any acceleration at all.

Also v2 will apparently have DirectShow support, which means that for compatible files we should get the same performance with CP that we get from WMP.

It's still a long way short of what I'd like but a big step on from what they had. Of course PocketPlayer has had DirectShow support for many years so I don't know what took CP so long.

Heheh, look at me talking as though v2 is actually gonna get released ;)

I have a feeling they're gonna go OEM-only with it, maybe sign an exclusive deal.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m4rioo:
can anybody tell me which program can I use to convert .avi files to .mp4 files in best resolution supported by hd2 ? As far as I know Mp4ForHd converts only files to touch hd resolution so as I asked before, which program can be used to convert to mp4 and in which resolution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bugblatter:
The Touch HD has the same resolution as the Touch HD2.

Mp4ForHd has an HD2 profile. Same resolution but higher bitrate, because the HD2 can handle it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] copenhagen:
i dont think you know what you are talking about.

BTW nice mortscripts.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
Any updates? :p:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nicostar:
maybe this is a bit of update check what they are saying on this forum

http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3519

they didnt say it wont be out for wp7 but it sounds to me they most likely are going to have to remake it all over so it can be ported to wp7 os, wp7 is completely diff to wmo6.x.

[HD2 General] RH Photography:
Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's a version of SRS iWOW or similar that will work on the HD2? I've searched the Leo forum and I'm quite surprised that nobody's mentioned it (apologies if they have and I've missed it).

I don't know what it is with HTC, but they really seem to struggle getting OK-sounding speakers into their devices. Even the tiny speakers on my ancient and cheap Samsung E780 flip phone sound much better than any HTC device I've ever owned.

I've had SRS iWOW on my Touch Cruise for a couple of years now, and it really is absolutely essential for music and movies. I've really been missing it on the Diamond and now my HD2, since the sound quality through its speaker is the only weak point I've identified with my Leo so far.

Is there a version of SRS's software that'll run on WM 6.5? Does anyone know of any alternatives out there?

Thanks,

Rob.
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Well, it is indeed available, check this.

However, I fear that the audio enhancement will mainly be perceivable with earphones...
[HD2 General] RH Photography:
Thanks a lot mate - that's exactly what I was looking for. You're right about the effect through the speaker though. The improvement isn't as dramatic as it is on my Touch Cruise, but it's definitely there. Great stuff.

Thanks again,

Rob.
[HD2 General] adell_:
It is great. It seems that there is no SRS WOW that is working with Touch HD WM 6.5 late builds.
[General Questions and Answers] amstaff72:
I have a Fuze right now and love the phone. I've had it since it first came out and having a few probs now and I need to get a new phone. I have a disability that has really started affecting my hands at different times so I have come to love and rely on the voice commands and dialing of the phone. I would also like a phone with a larger screen that is easier to motivate and see, the fuze screen looks amazing it's just very small. I'd really like to keep all the great features of the Fuze but really need a larger screen.

A friend just picked up the new tilt2, it has a nice screen on it but it seemed extremely slow. It also didn't seem to have near the ability to fine tune and tweek the features like mine can.

I'm using at&t and really want to stay with them. I've done tons of research but I don't trust a lot of what they say on most of the sites. I read great things on that tilt2 and was a bit disappointed. I know a lot of you guys can practically build these phones from the ground up now. Is anything new coming from HTC in the near future that's good? Any help you guys can give me and point me in the right direction would sure be appreciated.
