TCPMP New Beta (Release Candidate)

which TCMP files should i put on my TX
tcmp.prc
tcmp_ac3_plugin
tcmp_amr_plugin
tcmp_camera_plugin
tcmp_ffmpeg_plugin
tcmp_matroska_plugin
tcmp_mp3_plugin
tcmp_mpeg1_plugin
tcmp_mpeg4_plugin
which of these plugins shpold i insatll :confused:
 
Well, the TX has massive memory. So what i do is i install all of them. The problem with picking through them is that well (in my case) i dont know what each one does (each plugin serves a certain purpose when playing video, music or video with sound/music). So install all of them to be on the safe side.

Ha ha ha ha!! I would certainly put in all the mpg (1,2,4) - as my video converter outputs in those formats. I have those 3 in flash along with the player itself on the T3, which isn't an option with the TX. If I had a TX though, I'd probably follow Camski's suggestion and put them all in - what the heck - eliminates the need to convert to a format you DO have and lose quality.
It was Telyx who pointed out to me ages ago the GREAT option of having the player and plugins work from the SD Card - that's good to know, too despite how much handheld memory you might have. Depends on how often you use the player I guess. The clips themselves would be on the card - Telyx's method of having "one stop shop" on the SD Card makes a lot of sense indeed.

I'm hoping the beta stops some of the "stuttering" or momentary freeze during playback on some mpg clips - this is a fantastic player though!
 
Any word on this? Thought they were suppose to come out with a new product for the Palm OS. Have seen nothing. Has there been any sort of recent update?

Thanks,

A great program, maybe not as polished looking as MMPlayer but it also doesn't crash my T5 like MMPlayer does! Now that I have the hang of it, and downloaded PocketDivXEncoder_0.3.60, I am off and running. Now I have to figure out if there are codecs for other movie files...

Thanks for such a great program and saving me $13 as well as buying a lesser video player!

Cheers! M2
 
O.K. Now I'm confused. Couple questions .......

I saw somewhere that there is now a Core Media Player v. 1.xx (as well as the TCMP). Question is .......what's the difference and if true, where do I get the Core Media Player? Or ........ should I just stick with TCMP (period)

Also ........ in TCMP, one of my movies that I tried to play has an error that pops up:

"Video codec (cinepak) not supported"

Is there any place to get a plug-in for this particular message?

Cheers!!!

Quick question guys, I know this thread is old but I recently(a couple of months ago) got a copy of TCPMP for Windows CE and have been using it on a MIO C310X GPS unit. TCPMP works great, so much so that I thought I'd put it on my Palm Tx to replace the worthless "Media" player. I just got so tired of having to convert everything into asf file format before I could use it in "Media".

So I tried to find a copy of TCPMP for Palm, I downloaded something finally, after a lot of dead links only to find that it was crippled by having the mp4 support removed! What's up with that?

So basically I've got two questions;

Does anyone have a complete copy of TCPMP that I could have that actually runs mp4 files?

What other video player is good on the palm TX, I know that the same folks that came out with the Open Source TCPMP also has come out with a commerical product called Coreplayer but from the reviews I've read so far the jury is still out on when that's going to be worth paying money for.

Thanks,

Roy
 
Thanks for the quick reply, but please be patient with me, I'm 60, a little slow on the uptake and not real technical in this area. If I understand what you tried to tell me, the TCPMP package I unpacked and tried to load on my Palm is missing the AAC Codec that TCPMP needs to play mp4 files? That I should be able to google for AAC codec, looking specifically for something with a .prc extension that will be the necessary file for TCPMP to play both the video and audio of a generic mp4 video file?
 
It will either be a .prc file or a .zip file containing the .prc. They had to remove that codec from the TCPMP package because of "intellectual property concerns"--in other words, whoever owns the rights to the codec doesn't want it distributed for free, or something like that.
