core player settings

converted some films to MP4 and on core player they are very stuttery
res 720 x 480
what are the best set up settings people are using for core player
thanks in advance

i play movies with CorePlayer without converting them.
I just copy paste my 700Mb AVI/DivX (1h30 min) movie onto my memory card, and it plays perfectly : smooth playback, and clear picture.
So need to convert anything.
I use the basic settings from Coreplayer... Works out of the box !
Even with my old Kaiser, it was playing well after some tweaking.

+1 same here...no conversion needed. I play a 1 1/2 hours avi movie with coreplayer with the default setting directly from my microSD 16GB with no problem. Smooth running too. Btw, this is my first time watch a full movie on my TP2, usually i only watch a small clip/trailer movie.
Very impression performance too.

Hunt down the pocketnow.com TP2 review. In one of their videos in the review, they do some benchmarking and come up with their ideal resolution and bitrate. It may not be final for you, but it's bound to be useful info.

use built in player for mp4 format! it uses the hardware effectively! i dont think coreplayer can utilize the hardware optimally nevertheless it is a good video player for many formats.

Play HD Videos on X1i ????

hello need a player who can play hd videos ( coreplayer, tmcpm, windows media, divix mobile etc ) dont work what can i do ? i cant play avis or some other videos on the x1 rom is toutchit v11 leo german please help me!

Let me Google that for you.

X1's hardware can barely play SD videos with acceptable quality/frame rate, let alone HD...
Another thing - the screen is 800x480 and it is not capable for any of the HD resolutions (720p/1080i/p). There are not enough pixels to display HD content. DVD (NTSC) video resolution is 720x480 and that's eventually the best you can get as a resolution off X1.

X1's hardware is capable (of SD), just use the normal WinMo Media Player instead of others which cannot make use of hardware accel.

Use the tool provided by XDA to convert your movies to mp4. Those can be played in high res 800 X 480 with wmp or the media xperience panel.

...i played video with more pixels than screen have...it was about (854*480) in .flv format, played in CorePlayer...i have few videos of that size, some of them plays fine, some of them are played in low frame rate(few per second only)...so its depends on hardware speed, not screen resolution...
armin van buuren-love you more.flv, is 864*480,and it plays very good...video is downloaded from youtube via savevid.com
I've posted links, so you can see...

I use mp4 format and this is this same what HD quality

TCPMP vs Core player

what are the major differences between The Core Pocket Media Player(TCPMP) & core player,i know one is free & one is paid bt whts the major difference?

Supposedly CorePlayer has more features like youtube integration (useless IMO when we have a youtube app) and supports more file types.
For my purposes I have found that TCPMP is best because it plays anything I need it to play (flv's for the most part) and there's a beautiful fully working WVGA skin for it, while Coreplayer is stuck on QVGA graphics unless you find a WVGA skin that acutally works, which I really haven't. There's a GTX skin that kind of works.
But for flat functionality, CorePlayer is better because it has support for more file types. What those types are exactly I couldn't tell you because I haven't ran into one yet that TCPMP won't play.

but sir whn i play flv on tcpmp it doesnt work good,i mean thesound playes well bt the video goes on very slow

Core Player youtube looks sharper (if you set that up) than the regular player.
I like Core Player for must things but some higher quality files may need Windows Media player or HTC player since they use the hardware playback.
I have a nice Transformers file for example that Core player can barely play skipping all the time.
I still use it very often.

I have not experienced this but I supposed it depends on quality of the video, size, frame rate, etc... Usually I download videos from youtube to play with TCPMP and they work to perfection.

For a lot of WMV files, I found coreplayer to be faster. When drag across progress bar, the seek speed is much faster.

MKV hd playback

Ok, So i got the hd nitro for x-mas. I wanted the phone because i have a few movies in 720 p that I figured I could run on this phone. I tried out both rock player and mx videoplayer and couldn't get crouching tiger hidden dragon to run at an acceptable frame rate. Moon on the other hand runs pretty well on this phone. I'm thinking crouching tiger has more complicated scenes to render, but if this device can't play back many movies in hd at an acceptable frame rate it's usefulness goes way down for me.

It really depends on the movies encoding settings to , some movies (720p mkv) even dont run smoothly on my laptop (i7 2630qm , 16 GB Ram ,GTX560m) , also try running it on vlc @ http://phandroid.com/2011/09/23/vlc-open-source-media-player-for-android-download/
Otherwise LG stock rom is to blame

I actually just used the default videoplayer for the first time and it did a better job than both mx video and rock player. Crouching tiger played without a hitch. I do like the user interface for those players better, but performance trumps usability in this case.

I have tested it on 1080p movie with 15mbps bitrate (10gb file), streaming it over WiFi with ES File Explorer, no stuttering or skipping, perfectly smooth.
P.S.
I found mVideoPlayer the best performance vice, usually if it doesn't play something, nothing else will play it...

i went to d/l this and the description states that the author hasn't updated this in a "very very long time, i'm sorry"
should i disregard that?

Try it and see for yourself.
Personally I found if this player can't play a video, no other players can either...There are some formats that perform better in different players, so it wouldn't hurt have 3 or 4 players installed, not like it's hard to delete them any times

Is there a youtube app that will let you play at 720 p? The one that comes on the phone only lets you select high quality, and the only way i cant get it to play 720 p on the browser is if I select desktop mode which makes it a little cumbersome.
I'll try out mplayer, but im quite happy with the default player.
Edit: It appears the link is broken for the newest version of mplayer

mplayer is different from mvideoplayer

I installed mplayer and it ran better than a few of the other videoplayers i had, but still not as good as the default player. Default player is the only one not to choke on crouching tiger.

Btw, good luck playing anything like that on Sammy Skyrocket

Never tried mvideoplayer though, will have to give that a shot.

720p display can play 1080p video smoothly?

Well,as a proud ion user here,I wanna ask some question
Ion have 720p display which if play 720p video,it will fit perfectly on screen...well,I've been downloading 720p anime and it runs perfectly without errors...
What I am confused is : Is ion support 1080p video playback with its hardware?
I mean,even if the screen resolution isn't 1080p and oversize the 1080p video,I still can make it fit on my screen using MX Player...
Just the total question : Does it support 1080p video?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium

the physical pixel dimensions of the Ion's screen is ~1280 x 720 (not sure if its exactly that, but its close)
the phone's hardware, though, is capable of outputting 1080p video...the 1080p stuff is for outputting to a HDTV via HDMI.
if you play a native 1080p video in MX player, what happens depends on your scale settings in the player. If its full screen, you set the scaling to 'fit to screen' or whatever its called...and its actually 720p...if you set to full scale, it'll play it in 1080p, but it will be zoomed in...even at 100%, as all the pixels can't fit on the 720p screen.
I'm pretty sure the stock player doesn't give you the options of full scale...it'll just fit it to the screen regardless...but MX player does let you 'see it' in 1080p, it just won't all fit...i had to mess with this because all my top gear episodes are in 1080p...

Thanks for replying,well now you confirmed it that ion can play 1080p video...well does it have any problem with it?

I push 1080p episodes of Top Gear via HDMI pretty regularly, and it works great. I can't comment on sound though, as i don't have HDMI running from my TV to my receiver...so its just TV speakers, but it works and everything...
I can't remember what type those files are, i wanna say they are .mkv ...but not positive...i just know its something my PS3 won't decode, so i have to use the phone...nearly any other video file i've used the PS3 plays fine, so i don't have to use the phone...
I will say though...MX player hated these types of files for the first few minutes...it only did it the first time i ever played one...it would get out of sync and stutter a lot...but after about 5 minutes it smoothed out and i never had an issue since...not sure if that is cache related or something, just saying though...don't give up if its a little wonky at first, it'll probably smooth out fine...
