Hey guys
Title says it all
I was wondering, after all the new drivers that have been released and all the discussions has any1 actually been able to use the Kaiser as a decent video player??
Ive been trying, tweaking Core Player, trying different drivers, different setting when i encode etc etc... But i cant get the video to play smoothly! I still get "tearing" between scenes... Its just not a pleasure to watch
Anyone else had more luck of late??
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357330
So i guess then the short answer is... No??
I see that Core Player has its own codec or whatever it is, meant specially for the Qualcomm CPU, to try and get adequate video performance out of it... But for some reason when i use "video output QTV" i just get a purple block on the screen and audio!!!
Of the remaining options, Directdraw, raw framebuffer and GDI, does any1 know what the pros and cons are? Do any seem to work better than the rest??
Will try the MP4 tip tonight and see if it helps!
I can play YouTube stuff just fine on my Tilt with the newest TCPMP. Haven't tried other stuff yet.

I use coreplayer version 1.2.2 and QTV display driver delivers up to 70% better performance than TCPMP. Try to find a solution to your problem on coreplayer forum.
Where did you get the 70% number from?
Im not sure if this helps...but
I converted a few movies that I had downloaded a while back thru windows media player...I think Pulp Fiction or something. It played just fine. Great video, great audio, good synchronization. Really impressive. All this on AT&T Tilt.
Keep working on it or flash a ROM since most have the support u need to watch the video. Honestly, u would probably benefit from reading the forums for about flashing a ROM than to mess with new codecs and other drivers.
Have u tried downloading TCPMP and core player. Install both. Then open TCPMP in background. Now open ur windows media player and try to play a video.
Now if u can stream videos from ninjavideo.net ur doing better than I

Found this on the CorePlayer forums....Seems ambiguous at best...
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1044
It seems that they have an option to enable "TyTN II driver mode" but they dont actually support the processor in the TyTN II...Odd!!
Apparently version 1.2.5 has a fix for the black screen in QTV mode (on WM 6.1 ROMs) does any1 have 1.2.5 to verify this??
That's right, they've fixed it.

There's a benchmark option in coreplayer. Play an avi file first on QTV driver and then on Rawframe buffer you'll see the difference. Than if you're still not convinced you can play the same file in TCPMP on rawframebuffer and compare the results.
Youtube w/ the new manilla 2d works flawlessly for me, as does any .flv i just plop on the phone (without re-encoding). Streaming mobitv is a bit laggy. But other then that my video runs great. For awhile quicksilverscreen was working str8 off the website too. (seems to not be working atm however).
I installed no new video drivers or anything just manilla2d. .flv has always worked since i installed the tmpg stuff.
Yes I Can!!!!
Just installed Core Player 1.25 and it works PERFECTLY!!!!
QTV works in the new ROMs in V1.25 and it plays my videos perfectly! Benchmarking, my frame rates arent much different to the RAW buffer, but the videos visually play better, there is no tearing as scenes change, they look great....
V1.25 does the trick!!!

here is what i think of from the top of my head...qtv is one of the options in the video driver selection in Coreplayer...Coreplayer is the paid version of tcpmp...From my experience, it really smoothens out the transition of scenes in this mode, but it also depends on how the video is encoded I think, coz' the movies I had encoded much earlier which i used with my treo 650 were still choppy even with the qtv display....But my recent acquisition, Ironman, it plays quite flawlessly...
v 1.25 refers to the latest version of Coreplayer, which fixes most of the bugs of earlier version...You can scope it out at corecodec.com, but sadly there is no trial version for it though so if you really want to watch and play videos on your tilt, it might be worth it for you...
As to the youtube videos, you can either:
Buy and use Coreplayer
Download the Youtube player extracted from the opal
Use the recomp version of tcpmp, the orginal won't work on the 6.1 so look for the recomp
Or if you wanna show off a bit on the bus or something, download opera 9.5 and flashlite 3.1, The flash vid will play as a part of the web page....
Hi there guys, I got my diamond yesterday and im like it so far. But there is a few things that annoys me and I was wondering if they could be fixed.
1) Slow - I was an iPhone user and the Diamond is very slow and sluggish in the menus, also web surfing is very slow. Is there a way to speed it up? e.g. tweaks or updateing to a new piece of software.
2) MP3 tracks - My MP3's dont seem to want to play on the Diamod, it says "caannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the Player does not support the formate you are try to play." Its just a standard mp3 format I draged to the internal memory and it does not play?
I like the Diamond very much but the iPhone is so much more sleek and also the loading time is much faster, so please tell me a way in which I can make the Diamond respond better.
Thanks

SPEED: There are tons of tweaks on this website that will speed up the phone (Advanced Config, Diamond Tweak etc... etc...) remember, the iPhone cannot run more than one app at once, the diamond is limitless, check whats running in the background.
MP3s: No idea, should play fine. Are you sure they are MP3s and not some ****e iTunes crap
u will soon learn that the Dimaond kicks iAss.

Thanks for the reply, would you recomend me updating the Rom to something else? Also which tweaks will do it for me? Im look in the tweak post atm and I see things like Boost TFL3D Scrolling Speed & Boost TFL3D Performance, are these the ones I should be tweaking?
Cheers
I updated my ROM to the latest official one, and the speed difference is out of this world.
Its how the phone should have been from the off, there is no lag or anything!

it all depends on what you want, you may choose to got for a 'clean' ROM, most of which do not include TF3D.
I am personally using Dutty's latest ROM, which is overall good.
WOW i am impressed, I did most of the tweaks listed on the post of tweaks, its very fast now, all I need to do now is sort out the mp3 problem and im ready to go iPhone bashing!
Thanks

... you mentioned that you 'dragged' the MP3's to your device. This may be the problem. Try syncing them with Windows Media Player instead. I'm using MP3's and WMA files on my device and both formats play fine, but I synced them rather than drag and drop. I think it's something to do with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)?
Hey,
I recently updated my Xperia X1 to generic R3a, and then installed the Youtube app/panel onto it.
Nearly every video stutters, like the frame rate drops randomly. I dont think I noticed that issue on firmware R1A. .. so does anyon else have this issue? can someone help me diagnose it?
Uninstall all of your youtube relate cabs and install this.
Once that is installed you can play YouTube videos perfectly. The YouTube application you just installed is Google's YouTube Application.
Okay, now that it's done download the ZIP below, unzip, and install HTC's YouTube Application Cabs.
edit cant upload xda forums not working
Errr
NVM I got it installed... so this is the offical one, huh?
NVM I got it installed. So how do I get a panel?
The panels don't work anymore. I think. Atleast not after I install the new panel manager.
"New panels manager"? What do you mean? And is this new youtube app supposed to be better than the other one that supposedly worked fine on R1A? I guess ill have to settle with this one, even though this one still has stuttering (to a lesser degree).
I think you are absolutely clueless. What do you mean stuttering? Are you talking about your crappy internet connection? If so, that isn't stuttering. Sigh...
...
By stuttering, I meant that the frames dropped dramatically at random times in the video. Moreover, my connection is fine, and I tried two wifi access points.

oh that just means the Xperia is slow. Most of the time my Xperia never lags. I think R3A makes Xperia faster. Something is wrong.
Are there other people who have noticed the lag on youtube? Can anyone test it with this youtube app Otherwise than that, the Xperia is running super fast. Oh, do you reccomend a custom ROM I should try to flash it to?- Thanks
Can anyone esle try the youtube app (this one) and see if it lags? Also, poetryrocksalot, do you recommend a custom ROM I should try that can boost the speed of my xperia and youtube?

Thanks in advance
I love my Xperia X1 so far. Mostly good things, but some issues:
1) Video playback very choppy = no solution (same: http://www.inxperia.com/forums/xperia-x1/281-xperia-x1-will-not-play-video.html)
This is heart-shattering for me. I have my anime that watch @ breaktime at work and couldn't believe that there's no decent video player (TCPMP doesn't work with X1 + coreplayer has no video acceleration and is choppy as hell). Windows Media Player works, but the interface sucks compared to TCPMP/Core and doesn't support a lot of formats. Having to convert each video by hand with SUPER isn't a viable solution for me.
2) Buzzing sound during phone calls(same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4219836#post4219836)
3) My last phone was a SE W810i. I have a Plantronics 520 BT headset and it does NOT search and connect with the 520 when it's in range. I have to manually press the button on the bluetooth headset after I reset my device/turn off > on BT to "pair" the headset to my phone. Please, is there ANY way to prevent this behavior? I just want my phone to find my headset, connect to it, and stay connected. It's difficult to let go of this behavior since my previous (inferior) SE phone did it perfectly.
Have you tried updating it to a new ROM?
A custom ROM perhaps? I'm using Valkyrie 2.9, and it is very good at playing high quality videos---and I have not noticed any buzzing problems with a call.

Hi Fuzalert2K,
No, I haven't tried a custom ROM. I've been mostly scared of bricking my new gadget. I've done them before on my Axim X51v.
RE: high quality video playback -- how is that possible? What video player are you using? Did you compress in a special format? I was under the impression that unless you used WMP/formats compatible with Windows Media Player, videos would run choppy on the Xperia no matter what; this is because there's no compatible video player that accessed the graphics driver.
Can someone clarify this? I would gladly flash to another ROM if it meant video was fixed I use Coreplayer. Unfortunately, TCPMP didn't even run (both confirmed problems on XDA)
Shameful Bump. Can anyone confirm this? Will a hacked ROM solve the video choppiness problem?
try to update to via seus maybe u dont have R3A... im using custom rom and dont have problem with video also... and for video playback i use core player or windows media player or media panel...

I'm running a High Resolution video on my Xperia using the Xperience Panel. The Xperia handles MP4 videos without much problem..
I highly recommend you "hard-spl" your phone,
then flash it using the micro-SD method.
I have flashed my phone a little over 50 times, without the slightest hint of anything going wrong.
If you want a new interface (TouchFlo 3D), I suggest you use Valkyrie 2.9 FS, or if you don't, then go for Valkyrie Xperio. Both roms are created by agent_47 under the Xperia ROM development section. They are really fast. You can also enjoy high-resolution youtube videos!
Hi guys,
Yes, Windows Media Player does fine because it has the graphics acceleration drivers, but because HTC did not release the graphics driver chipset software, so there is no hardware acceleration for videos on Coreplayer or anything else except for WMP. How in the world are you guys not having this problem? Legions of users on XDA/Coreplayer forums are having the same problems. What FPS are you guys getting?
Also, does TCPMP work on your Xperias w/ custom ROMS.
I think thinking of trying the "Valkyrie XPERIO". I want a minimalistic ROM built for 1) Stability 2) speed

Well, I don't use coreplayer.
What is wrong with windows media player anyway? (Is the one in the Xperiance Panel?)
I do think I'm running at least 25 frames.... not much lag.

WMP does not support a variety of formats, doesn't even come close to the configurability, ease-of-use (once configured to one's own preferences), updated frequently, and overall much better than WMP.
I'm very interested to hear from people who run custom ROMS -- does Coreplayer experience the same lag as before?
Shameless bump. Anyone?

I tried a custom ROM -- Touch_X_10_1_X_TREME_BLUE -- a favorite on XDA.
Wonderful improvement over OEM, but alas DID NOT FIX video choppy problem. Whoever states otherwise is either mistaken, lying, or has ridiculously lower standards as to what constitutes "playing video" on the Xperia. I can't even get watchable rates with coreplayer. WMP works if it has a format compatible with it. Stuff like Dattebayo's Bleach (AVI)-- don't even bother.
It really sucks that HTC won't work with Coreplayer's devs to open up and give them the ability to add video acceleration. Stupid HTC

Try another custrom ROM such as energyrom or valkyrie. I myself do with these roms and they are pretty good. By using coreplayer i can watch most kinds of video format (except realplayer format : .rm,.ram...) without any lag (WMP does). So just try, it's safe & fun.
I will try valkyrie and install it very carefully using RUU method (direct microsd method doesn't work for me).
Unfortunately, I just don't see how a custom ROM solves the video lag problem. Can someone post a video of coreplayer playing dattebayo's bleach episode 233? (http://www.dattebayo.com/t/b233.torrent)
On my X1, it plays, but is choppy; choppy means that the subtitles are not smooth and jump around.
hey guys, few day ago i found this fantastic rom from this forum. jack 3.8 . what makes this rom so special for me is that the core player which is pre-installed in this rom, uses QTv for video display using TyTN-2 driver mode.
due to this setting, the coreplayer plays the movies (all the high res avi files that i have ) absolutely smooth as butter without any conversion. something, wm player can never do. my question is that how can i get this driver setting on any other rom that i want to use. i want to get these settings. can anyone helP?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495708
this is the link to the rom
I am sure that if you post a request in the thread that you got the rom from he will give you the settings to use on another rom,
