tcpmp help ahhh

i would like to get tcpmp workin on my 8525 but i cant figure it out, perhaps i can get some help?
i searched quite a few keyword strings reffering to my issue which is more audio focused than video but nothing so here i am asking.
at first, i was getting the tcpmp flickering issue and went into options->video and changed it to raw framebuffer to fix that but upon every entrance to tcpmp (which is installed to my main memory) i get the popup error:
"player: MPEG4 AAC Audio decoder not included! It was removed from the official install package because of intellectual property consinderations."
i get the video from most of my files but no audio, figured it could b an audio issue but my only choice under options->audio besided the default Wave Ouput (which doesnt work) is Null Audio and/or Disabled and neither of those seem logically correct.
Windows Media Player stops during video play often when playing mp4 files, sometimes neway and it gets annoying.
thanks in advanced

i tried installing the supposed tcpmp .81 i read about in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275255&page=4
and the audio works but no video, reguardless of wut video choice in the options menu..
and btw. not sure if itll happen everytime but my phones completely frozen right now after trying to exit tcpmp .81.. attempting soft reset now =X

i guess i solved my own problem, sorry mods for wasting forum space, the issue with the audio was corrected with TCPMP .81 which Teo2005 points us to at:
http://story.cetizen.com/akebi/tag/tcpmp
and the new video issue was solved with the soft reset. works nicely, even with a video that i couldnt previously open.
no negative drawbacks yet.

It's good to see someone work through an issue and show us the steps taken and the positive outcome achieved. I do not consider this a waste of forum space. There are much more obvious wastes of space around!!!!

Thanks for the link, trinic101. I, too, am able to view avi and wmv files with no flickering at all on my 8525. After a month of disappointments, TCPMP actually works! I guess I won't go back to PalmOS after all! Snicker!!!! No, really!

A couple of issues ...

I've run into a couple of problems and hoped someone here might be able to help:
1 I set an alarm recently through the clock part of spb mobishell and I cant get rid of it. It goes off every morning even though I have switched it off. I have even changed the time of the alarm but to no avail.....any ideas?
2 I use tcpmp and want to use the youtube plugin. I followed the instructions posted both here and also at http://solsie.com/tcpmp-plugin-play-flash-video-flv-directly-on-wm-devices/
When I try to run an flv file it starts and then freaks the player out with what looks like an interfered signal (shakes all over the screen and then locks up)
Is it the flv file from the keepvid site http://keepvid.com/ ?
How else can I get a file to try ?
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers, Dean

1) Check the notification queue (for example with SKTools or PocketMechanic) and delete the offending alarm.....should work....

THanks for the tip. I have just downloaded the trial of sktools, although its a bit confusing for a rookie like me. I will have to read up so that I dont do something bad....

YouTube performance - question

I've noticed when I am playing YouTube video's over WiFI (settings on high quality) that the first, let's say 30-45 seconds, the frame rate occasionally drops, but after that the rest of the video runs smooth.
Anyone any ideas what could be the problem ? Seems to me like some buffering issue.

Is this via the YouTube app or via Opera?

It's via the YouTube proggie...I haven't tested through Opera yet. I didn't even know that would work(?)

Yeah, I don't think it does...
Mine also stutters a bit through the early part of a track using the Opera app, I think it just takes a bit of time to properly buffer the video?

mine used to - until I applied the cache tweaks.
And now it doesn't

Can you let us know which ones please? I've been reluctant to trying anything "performance" related because most of the tweaks I've read about were for the Diamond or the Touch Pro and not optimised for the HD.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Check out the Blackstone wiki sticky at the top of the forum page - you'll see one of the tweaks is an SD card tune up cab which is apparently a must-do. Secondly, you'll see some cache settings in the wiki which you can implement through the windows mobile registry. To do this, you'll need a registry editor (I use Schap's registry editor 0.9b).
Good luck!
Petrov.

I went through the settings in this thread-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448707
make sure you read it all though!
(it's a speed vs stability issue - personally I've had no stability issues with the suggested settings, but...)

it's more to do with playing videos which you have stored on your SD card than with YouTube - but you're likely to need it anyway
Link to the cab is on page 1, but you need to read the whole thread to understand how to get the very best performance when playing a (stored) video.
Very good read, most worthwhile

Is there any way to play youtube videos or other flas videos through opera, not just via the youtube application?

For example: 7 mins of X-men 3

I only applied the SD tweak which worked great with playing videos on my card. It didn't have an impact on YouTube video's however.
But my YouTube video's look splendid as they are already, I compared it a few times to videoplaying on the iPhone, both normal movies on the card and youtube videos, but the HD wins out massively at the video aspect.

Hey,
Ist there any solution to fix this Problem?
I have it myself (Rom: Dutty v2.0)
Only when the video has loaded completly it plays very smooth....

TCPMP .81

Anybody gotten TCPMP .81 to work? Mine keeps crashing. .72RC1 works much faster than CorePlayer 1.25 for me, and I'm thinking .81 might be even better. .72RC1 won't do wmv or wma for me, or mpeg 2.

Link to post with .81: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2968519&postcount=386

Actually, I got neither to work on my Blackstone. .72 and .81 both just give me the crash.txt error message on startup.
Pretty frustrating, because the standard media player won't play jack sh*t.
Anybody else has problems installing TCPMP on his Blackstone?

Yes, you have to use the .72rc2 copy on the diamond forums. It's been compiled to work on the HTCs. I was hoping someone was going to compile the .81 version as well.

Found it, thanks!
Finally got the darn thing to play something

Would be nice to post the link (nt)

YouTube Panel

Hi,
Here it is, the Youtube Panel!
If you want to use it, first you have to install Youtube of zenkinz:
zenkinz said:
I think I may have found the fix. It's a combination of registry plus system files.
If anybody has done his/her research in this area, please share as well.
Otherwise, I will test out further before sharing the fix.
Update 11/12/2008:
Minor update to the CAB, CAB no longer hard code to \Windows directory, but I have not tried if it works on storage card.
The cab file can be found here
Update 26/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB to restore the 8 system files that were overwritten by the original Youtube CAB. This is probably the last resort before having to hard reset to get Youtube working (if you had previously installed Youtube before)
Update 18/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB, if you do not wish to hard-reset your Xperia to install the X1i-Youtube.cab. But let me know if it works for you, because while this patch CAB does correct the problematic registry entries, it does not correct the 8 system files that the original youtube CAB has overwritten.
Update 17/11/2008:
Build a CAB that works fine after I hard reset my phone (after umpteen times of hard reset!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now you install the YouTube.cab!
At least you can choose the Youtube Panel normally in the Panel display.

Nice work.. But I'm having trouble getting to work. Can you specify exactly which files to install and in what order.
The panel loads, it says "opening" at the bottom for a few seconds and then the desktop goes all white. The taskbar and bottom bar are still visible so it's not a system hang or anything. I just think I may have missed to install something.

You have to install first the Youtube file of zenkinz!
You have to instal it on the device not on the storage card.
And you have to change the youtube.409.mui to your countrycode (for example germany = youtube.407.mui).
You find this file in the windows directory!
Then you install the panel and it is running for me!
I hope it works for you, too!

Thanks, works great you´re the man!

The official youtube panel is not far away anyway.

Which official youtube panel?

I think he's taking about the ad:

at 0:45 there's a youtube panel.
Not sure if that proves a youtube panel is in the making though.. Could be just for illustration purposes.

There will almost certainly be an official Youtube Panel soon. Youtube is owned by Google, who own a rival OS, but this hasn't stopped them making apps for other mobile OSs.

False advertising! Since when does the X1 perform THAT smoothly???

Question:
I have the youtube program installed and works great. What does the other youtube.CAB do? just turn it into a panel?
or does it add something worthy by turning it into a panel?
Just asking cuz i dont need to turn it into a panel if the app works just fine.
Thanks btw.

1. It loads the panel > starts the youtube app.
2a. If you close the youtube app, you get a blank panel.
2b. If you hit the X-panel button, the youtube app keeps running and you go to the panel page.

Is there anyway to update the cab so that youtube automatically quits when you change panels?

When i run the panel it's keep white...
I can't find the youtube.409.mui and i don't know the countrycode for france . I've already installed the first cab...
help plz
[EDIT] no its ok now... Work like a charm

Great panel thanks!

Noob question: How do you edit the .mui file ? I tried with ActiveSync but it doesn't let me do it.

YOu only have to rename it! In the windows directory...

Quick question.
The youtube app referenced on post 1 works great, apart from the annoying 1 pixel white border left and bottom on full screen (on the X1).
Does this panel display version fix that?

Freakin Awesome.. Works great!! thanks guys!

xperia youtube panel
heey
i"ve got the same problem with that white screen
and i did first instal the zenkins and then the panel but i can't find where i can chance my countrycode ( netherlands)

I forgot to change the code and installed both .cab files. Youtube panel is working but when I select a video it just stays on the 'connecting' screen after turning to landscape mode.
Is this because I didn't rename that file?
If so, anyone have a dummies guide to changing it to the UK code?
Thanks
A X1 noob..
