THANKS HEAPS! Finally can play rmvb with a nice finger friendly version of TCPMP~

I have got the following problem thou,

My HD2 can run at higher clock when TCPMP is started straight after a soft reset, but after a suspend / turn on again , the clock speed is capped at 416Mhz (options-> general page)

Is it my HD2 stock ROM problem? or just because TCPMP is not design for the snapdragon?

is there any way to sacrifice the video / audio quality to improve frame rate for playing RMVB?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluenote73:
This is awesome, thank you bimbam, xiaojin !!!!

EDIT: When I pass a .pls file as the parameter, TCPMP crashes on me. Am I doing this wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
When I play .avi files, the video runs fine when audio is put to mute. As soon as I un-mute the audio the video slows down.

Any solutions???????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
Well I'm guessing that when you mute the audio the player doesn't process the audio stream and thus runs more smoothly. If avi file contains mp3 audio you can replace libmad.plg plugin with original mp3.plg form oficial (0.72RC1 build from picard) because it's more faster also try to replace mpeg4.plg with oficial one that one is also faster ;)

Hi this is my 1st time using the forum i am a big newbie. I have the HTC HD2, i managed to apply the skin ok but im getting an error message for ffmpeg-armv6 :confused: i actually never used a registry editor before :'(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
Replace libmad.plg means what?

Should I remove libmad.plg and put mp3.plg? or

rename mp3.plg as libmad.plg and overwrite the existing one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
Sorry for misleading post :) I meant to remove libmad.plg and place mp3.plg instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
I assume you trying to use uncompressed ffmpeg.plg (armv6), try to use compressed ffmpeg.plg (armv6) it should work without editing registry.

Question: How do you assign the buttons? I have a Backbeat 903 & the only buttons I can assign are the play/pause. To go to the next/previous track, I have to press & hold the fwd/previous buttons till it changes, but it doesn't recognize that function when assigning.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
try armv6.

Hey i wonder what is the diference in benchmark scores when u use ffmpeg from cab and ffmpeg armv6 from zip pack. Can anyone do a benchmark using both versions of ffmpeg??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
Hi, are you talking about AVRCP feature in TCPMP? If so I don't have no idea why you are having such problem, because I have no way to test AVRCP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ApuloNeko:
Oops

I just found this page, and dl'ed TCPMP, to update my old version. But I have questions and may have posted in the wrong place (the old thread here: hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=380387&page=50 - as a newbie here I'm not allowd to post links so pleas edit the hxxp to http)

If any admin is reading this could he/she please move it here? Or alternatively, if I may bother you all, could you have a look in the old thread? I don't want to double post, or I'd have copied the message here.

Thanks!

ApuloNeko,

I think tcpmp doesn't support embedded subtitles. Also innorder to see subtitles(not embedded ones) you need to set video mode to GDI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
I uploaded it to MediaFire (many other TCPMP stuff in my sig... though most are useless now that we have this build :) ).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spyrale:

ffmpeg-armv6:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
ffmpeg plugins pack contains severeal versions of ffmpeg.plg plugins tuned for different processors unfortunatly there is no ffmpeg compiled for Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 cpu (armv7 instruction set). Also you could try them all and see which one is fastest, but do this with caution, if you'll get message saying that ffmpeg.plg isn't compatible you might be unable to use working version of ffmpeg again. I'm not saying that this will definetly hapen but this had occured for me. In order to make it work again i had to delete TCPMP registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spyrale:
thanks guys, will try and report back :D

Subtitles & Qualcomm QCELP?

I have been using another version of TCPMP and manually added the subtitle plugin by simply copying the files into the TCPMP program folder. After I did that The menu item "Subtitle" shows up under the "Option" menu.... This version says that subtitle support is built in but I don't see the "Subtitle" menu item under "options"?

Also I get the error message that Qualcomm QCELP is not supported when I try to view the video files that are created with my devices built-in video camera. I can view the files fine with WMP but not TCPMP.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spyrale:
i downloaded a flv video from internet (well, i found just porn), tried with built-in ffmpeg and ffmpeg-armv6, same result, codec not supported, i switched also between GDI and raw frame buffer, nothing to do. same file is played fine by core player :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baldrick1:
Hi there

First of all major plaudits for this work. :cool:

Have much enjoyed using TCPMP on my Axim and when I upgrade to a TD2 I was saddedn by the probablity that the version running on my Axim was not transferrable.

However, apologies in advance for sounding like an ignoramous but in terms of the installation instructions, I am not clear as to (i) which archive to use with WM 6.5, (ii) what is meant by "pick suitable ffmpeg plugin for your device (ffmpeg.plg in cab is provided for compatibility purposes)" as there is only one download :confused:

Can anyone one assist in answering these questions? Again, my apologies if they sound a bit jack & Jill but I am a relative newbie in this area.

Cheers...in advance

Balders :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
@Baldrick1

Inside the ffmpeg.zip you have different folders (each with a different version of the plugin). Extract one of them and put it in the TCPMP folder.

In order to test it do a benchmark of an flv file in TCPMP with the default ffmpeg.plg plugin. Replace this version with another and do another benchmark to find the version that better suits your device.

For Samsung Omnia (WinMo 6.1) the best versions are the iwmmxt or the xscale (the results are about the same). flv4 performance is almost the same as iwmmxt_m32ce version of the ffvp6 0.54 by nv (still seems a tad lower). The armv6 exits/crashes the player when I open an flv. Most balanced video mode seems to be "Intel Xscale" and fastest mode is "Intel Xscale Low Quality".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baldrick1:
Hi frmariam

Thanks for the reply about the ffmpeg.plg plugin.

I am however still unclear as to which which archive to use with a device that is running WM 6.5: the WM5 one or the WM2003-2010.

Don't want to screw something up by installing the wrong one ;)

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Balders :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
WM5...

And there's nothing to fear about installing stuff to a device... I do it all the time (doing it never screwed up anything for me... and even if it did one can alway rollback and fix it). Test away... You won't break it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farmer Ted:
Go with the WM5 version. The ffmpeg plugin that came with the cab works fine on my raphael.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Morbyd:

Hi spyrale,

How do you get it work on HD2? I got 3 time crash already after playing any video files. I installed it on SD drive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RavenMaster:
finally, a working version on Rodhium WM6.5 :D

congratz!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
It seems that Qualcomm QCELP is some sort of speech codec and tcpmp doesnt know how to deal with it, you could look into your video recording options and play with settings or something.

About subtitles if the original addon from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpsubssubtit/ worked on your device try to put ati3200.plg and intel2700g.plg in tcpmp dir because they ar not included in cab files, because I had some problems with them.

p.s try both, the ones from attached archive and original ones from sourceforge
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
For flv playback limitations in TCPMP read this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5648704&postcount=474
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RavenMaster:
CorePlayer has a video driver HD something that works perfectly with Qualcomm graphics (Rodhium).

Any word on that for TCMP ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Could it be because of speex.plg? The Speex project is based on CELP... QCELP is Qualcomm variant of CELP (don't know if newer versions of speex decode this or if ffmpeg supports it... I think Qualcomm has an SDK for this... ).

PS: I found this mysterious exnetwork.plg at nv website. It's a modded network.plg that uses video site cookies to as extra header info (???... Google translation of that post was awfull...)... Not quite sure what is the difference but thought it wouldn't hurt letting you know. Link to all of nv's stuff.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marioval:
Actually the subtitle plugin I have has 4 files

ati3200.plg

intel2700g.plg

common.dll

interface.plg

After I copied all 4 of those, your TCPMP version no longer launched at all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ApuloNeko:
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried GDI, no difference. So you may be right, it certainly seems so. But it's rather misleading that the embedded substream is shown in the subtitle menu. And if you disable subtitles in the options menu, you can select the stream (but of course nothing shows up).

I'll try with separate subs later, but it's really a shame embedded subs in MKV (properly recognised as an SSA stream) can't be used. Most anime is like that these days, separate subs are very rare. Is the subtitle plugin author still developing his program further? Any news if he might support this later?

That means your BTHeadset didn't send any cmd to ppc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Thought this was news from ghosting...

That's the same source I found here at pudn.com ages ago (I uploaded it to my MediaFire account) but I don't believe that is the same source that was used to implement rmvb in TCPMP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] master1454:
Actually it works with the play/pause because all I need to do is just press the button when assigning. But to go to the next/previous track with these headphones, you must press & hold. I believe that's the issue, but I don't have that issue with Pocket Player - it works perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluenote73:
perhaps if you steal the code from pocket payer (the ID# you are looking for) you can figure out how that info is stored in TCPMP .. ?

Is Sleep Mode a good feature?

Million thanks to bimbam69 for the great work and I have many ideas about it,one of the most urgent is yes,a Sleep Mode or Timer feature.I don't know how many people use TCPMP before sleeping almost every evening like me,a Sleep or Timer feature is a fairly reasonable design in this case I think.Without such function,we have to lost the current playlist(maybe used in allmost all time only except now) and open a appropriate media file or slide to appropriate time position,or cheer up to stop it manually just before we fall into asleep.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
I tried it and the error of Crashing appears. It does not work.

Any other suggestion???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] porkenhimer:
The smart_lyric.plg has a close timer. Juse set the hour and minute and TCPMP will exit at the set time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
Hm... original plugins are working for me with this build. Post your crash.txt, maybe it will provide some info...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
Will you mind posting here the original mp3.plg? let me try using that.. And after that if it crashes I shall post the log...Let me try once again with your version of mp3.plg
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
c_shekhar,

Here you go. Attached files are original mp3.plg and mpeg4.plg files from http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/

I've done a benchamrk to compare the speed of those plugins (tried a short XVID movie with mp3 audio), results were:

about 166% with mpeg4.plg and libmad.plg from my build

about 170% with original mpeg4.plg and mp3.plg plugins
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
It crashes as soon as I launch TCPMP player..with these plugins.

I re-Cooked my ROM with following:

1. libmad.plg removed.

2. added mp3.plg and mpeg4.plg posted by you.

the crash log is attached...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] porkenhimer:
I think the AVI files u r playing r prabably high resolution videos and when the audio is disabled the cpu is able to handle the video by itself but cannot handle audio and video both. If u have some AVI files that r a lower resolution size they should play smooth with audio enabled or disabled. The same thing happens sometimes when a I play higher resolution files.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
May be.... But with the plugins posted 2 posts above the TCPMP crashes on launch itself...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
c_shekhar,

Is the original(oficial) TCPMP working on your device? From crash.txt I see you ar using HTC Leo and I assume it runs WinMo 6.5. When tested my build on emulator with WinMmo 6.5 the oficial plugins didn't work. This might be your case too.

I did one thing to make them work again. I used UPX to compress the plugins and suprisingly those plugins were working again. Here I've attached compressed mpeg4.plg and mp3.plg as well. Note that theres might be a performance decrease by compressing a plugin. So the question is does it worth chasing a few % gain in benchamrk scores.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
I am so grateful to you bro! for your continuous help and support.

I have downloaded the compressed plgs and shall try them.

In the meanwhile I wish to give you feedback about two avi files. The file info is posted as screen shots below. The pc_capture1.jpg works perfectly well whereas the other one gives the problem which we have been struggling with.

These avi files I am running without the mp3/mpeg4 pluging posted by you few posts earlier. I have the libmad.plg in my device.May be it gives you some more clue...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] porkenhimer:
Will we ever see any work put into the original subs plugin? I think the fact that it is capable of playing subtitles on every driver is reason enough to try fixing it. Here is the plugin and source

www.4shared.com/file/253696933/c0cc7b29/alpha_0.14
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Posting the info source would've helped...

That source code is from the first version of the nikoro subtitle plugin (the same author of the version bimbam used). It uses the black parts of the screen to display the subtitles which is why the subtitles will flicker a lot if there isn't an empty area available (mostly in fullscreen). I contacted him over at SourceForge but it seems he has abbandoned WinMo/TCPMP development for good...

I don't know if those sources will help... Rendering the subtitles in the same "layer" as the video (like version 0.14 seems to do) won't work correctly. Rendering the subs in a "layer" above the "video layer" should fix it (???).

This build crashs much frequently than I previously used.

I always directly press Enter or click OK on the crashing warning messagebox before,as you know,TCPMP will close,losing current settings and status.

Some small requests...

A while ago porkenhimer asked for a today plugin... Using Mortscript and Homescreen++ I made a quick small POC theme that controls TCPMP (not finished yet).

But I still need some stuff...

bimbam could you make TCPMP write a couple more registry name/values in the "PLAY" key:

1- "State" of the player (different values if a file is playing, if a file is not playing and if TCPMP is closed). Need it to alternate Play/Pause button images.

2- "Title" of the playing file (from the tag... or the file name without extension if tag lacks this value). Currently TCPMP writes the full path to the last playing file to the registry but only when it's closed...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bimbam69:
frmariam,

it looks like good idea :) and very simple plugin. I'm planning to resume development of TCPMP sometime next week and then will try to help with your plugin ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Thanks (and glad to know you'll be back on TCPMP soon). That theme is just a proof of concept but I do intend to perfect it. The concept should work with many other shell engines (WAD, SPB...).

Homescreen++ is still my favorite today screen plugin (for one because I'm all about free software and also because this plugin is very flexible and lite). It has suffered much with the rise of Manilla hacks (actually the porting/hacking of HTC software has done much harm to Windows Mobile development and many great free projects). Hacks of proprietary software don't qualify as freeware in my book. I really wanted to prove one can do almost everything Manilla does using HS++.

A while ago on some russian forum I've found several skins for TCPMP and decided to share them with you, those are for VGA screen only, but I'm sure they can be adapted to other screens. Also there is some skins here on xda site (only for WVGA).

Hi there. Just would like to say thank you bimbam and frmariam for the above posts. I have been having a problem playing some h.264 videos (which i have downloaded from youtube) on my HD2 using tcpmp where the whole screen turns gray on the latter parts of the said videos. then i tried bimbam's suggestion to move the avc.plg to another folder instead and let ffmpeg do the job and it worked! No more graying out now and the videos play just fine without slow downs.

Thanks guys
