Is the best media player CorePlayer for the PocketPC? I want to ask everyone before going out and spending the whopping $20.
I just want one solution, the best solution, so I don't have to revisit this again and have something that will play both my audio and video file types.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The best may be the freeware version of CorePlayer, TCPMP
Would anyone have the link to TCPMP? I tried Google'ing but kept running into dead links.
Never mind, found it.
What about here?

Thanks. I eventually found it but didn't like it so sprung for the CorePlayer. All is well now.

Why not install both TCPMP and Coreplayer? That way you also get AC3 support through TCPMP if ever you need it.
I get an error with TCPMP with AC-3 audio - am I missing a setting somewhere to enable it?
Error: Player: Audio codec (AC-3) not supported by the player!

You need the AC3 codec (I don't know where from though, try the forums at corecodec). However, if you install Coreplayer (the retail version of TCMP) then this codec is installed automatically.
I don't know if coreplayer has to be activated in order for the codec to work though.
No, it's not. Maybe you are thinking of AAC but AC3 is definitely not in Coreplayer. There was a huge discussion on their forum along the lines that you don't need AC3 because there is no PDA with 5 speakers and it would increase the price for coreplayer unnecessary because of the license fees they would have to pay to Dolby. Anyway, they might release it as an additional plugin later. The current plugin for TCPMP is a grey area legally speaking. Get it as long as you can still download it somewhere ...
Is there another player that can cope with pausing automatically during an incoming phone call/voice command.
I tried tcpmp an it kept playing across calls, which is a bit annoying when you've got the phone set on autoanswer..
Built in media player does work like this, but that's the only thing I can think to say that's positive about it..

Yep I found a link to it after I'd posted, the demo seems to be working pretty well so far. Will see how I get on and buy it if it works properly.
Pocket Player
Well even though it seems quite a bit flakey, Pocket Player. It works with Bluetooth headsets, well at least my Sony Ericson, if you want quality FLAC file playback this seems fine and a very good way to fill a 8GB microdrive ;-)
Playback with a proper stereo headset is good as long as the charger is not attached - which is noisy. As this pda can access usb drives, it could form the basis of a funky hi-fi systems if you use FLAC files and spend some money on a better power supply, oh and get hacking the device to find the direct digital outlet to pump to an external dac. Actually I've not tried connecting it via it's usb output - has anybody else? Not use this would work though.

does anybody know where to find vlc player ppc.... the official site doesn't offer anymore... if you have it then please give me...
I've read that it's highly unstable. You can get the last draft here:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/wince/vlc-0.8.4-test1-20051012-0130-wince.zip
If you're looking for a video player, I'd recommend TCPMP very strongly. For audio, MortPlayer (for various reasons such as supports more than wmv/mp3, has built-in screen sleep mode and button mapping, is easy to re-skin).
What was your intended use for VLC?
I agree TCPMP is a great player, used it for a long time on my ipaq, and now on my wizard, just works great
Myrddin wyllt,.. I was kinda looking for good decoders for live streaming. I love to watch live tv over wifi, watching anime, basketball, news and etc... though wmp, tcmp, streaming video, core player, or even the mplayer ( doesn't support sound with wma streaming) don't offer that much decoders.. like rstp: streaming 3gp or mms streaming mp4... and I'm even hoping that there would be a divx stream for ppc! I wish.
I had all but lost hope for this... but then I heard that vlc ppc was also able to stream video... I was hoping that it would support all decoders.. IF NOT I"ll just copy the Plugins from the VLC (PC VERSION) then put in the vlc ppc directory...
IF i came up with an error in vlc streaming then i'll try copying the plugins... though i don't know if it will work or not? But who knows.
Though if i made some mistakes, please please correct me (thats the only way i'll learn)
I HAVE GOOD DAY!
Thumb Up! TCPMP and MortPlayer!
If you want to stream 3GP through RTSP/HTTP, just use the HTC Streaming Media.
For wma streaming...why don't you use WMP?

WMP supports all lot but sometimes it doesn't work, Audio works but no video... and in mplayer support video but no wma....
BTW... IS htc streaming media the same as streaming media... I downloaded a WM6 rom onto my 8125 and got a streaming media software with it... IS IT the same as htc streaming media or an upgraded version?...

If you're looking for a Divx stream, DIVX.COM now has a mobile player. I haven't tested it that much, but the desktop version will play almost anything I throw at it!

VLC Player for PPC
Hi, am looking out for a ppc player which could play .VOB formats without conversion. I believe VLC Player can do the job. TCPMP is not supporting VOB. Help anyone? thanks.

are these «nightly's» automatically generated by some software daily? if not, then who's posting them? or rather, wth are they? I cant figureout how to install them. whatever this vlc for winmo is, not holding my breath for it. I just wish vlc for android gets released soon, as it was announced last month but is still nowhere to be found. all I need is the ability to time stretch (fast playback speed at normal pitch/tone), but so far there's still no mobile programthat can do this on either WinMo or Android. sigh..

I have SPB DVD converter and it works great for me. So what exactly is your issue? Like it doesn't covert properly or in play back the audio is choppy.
Once I convert to AVI/DIVX I always play all my movies using the TCPMP player. You can find it here and download it.
I installed this player on my phone. Checked the file association tabs to play the files I need such as (AVI/DIVX) changed the audio output to Mono Join since our phones don't have Stereo and I'm good from there.
If you want extra volume I suggest looking for SRSWOW HD CAB and installing it with the settings of (headphones and 100% effect on every sliding bar)
This will increase the overall volume of your phone not only the player. This truly helped out because before when I watched a movie the sound would be weak and I was forced to hear it with headphones in an environment where there was a lot of people.

Hello,
I just purchased a Mogul. My first task was to apply the official Sprint WM6.1 update, which applied with no trouble.
I am now looking for a media player that will play videos I have converted for an Ipod Touch. Windows Media player does not do it. So I tried a version of TCPMP for WM, but it won't even come up.
So I bit the bullet and purchased a licensed copy of the CorePlayer. This is supposed to be the best their is, but it freezes up when I play most video files, including simple MPEG1 files. I suspect it has not been tested extensively on WM6.1
So .. is there any other media player I can try?
There is a new version of TCPMP posted here on the forum - with source code. You need to get that and you also need to extract 2 DLLs from WM5 into you windows directory. This will allow you to play all wma files (otherwise TCPMP won't even see them). If you can't find either of these files, let me know and I'll post links to them sometime in the next couple days.
ALSO, you will need to customize TCPMP to set the buffer settings that work best on your phone. In general the phones are a step back from pure PDAs like a circa 2005 Toshibe e750, but you can get them to play without skipping if you balance them right and/or select low quality playback in TCPMP.
TCPMP is nice, but after trying Core I stuck with that. I like the more refined look, and the equalizer has a few more sliders.
Both are great though.

Where can i find those 2 dll files? i've installed the correct version which works on 6.1 but the movies i've played, skipped... Do anyone have an idea what i can do, so that the movies played correct? What settings do i have to change?
well this costs 20.00 but i truly think it is, hands down, the best audio player you will get (not best video) but for audio it is extremely nice. http://www.conduits.com/news/pr20080820.html

i wish i could agree with that assessment crazylilboy. ive tried kinoma. and havent gotten to neromobile just yet. but, kinoma SUCKS!! cool interface and that's where the positive end. it hijacks all ur file associations so you cant play anything straight from file explorer as it becomes unrecognized. it scans ALL my folders for media even crap that is in program files and other directories that arent media related as thats what support says it shouldnt be scanning. lastly, and this really isnt all. movie playback is crap compared to coreplayer. it only supports 3 file types, one of which a normal person would use or encode their movies to(mp4). u cant decent quality because u have to keep the bitrate soo low for it not to freeze or chop up. so, ill try this as it cant get much worse and if u need other reasons NOT to use Kinoma, PM me
OH, and thanks for the find on Neromobile

lol!! too hilarious crazlilboy
nevermind***
So, what do you guys say is the best music player anyway, with a good combination interface and features. I really didn't like S2P due to the lack of sorting by ID3 tags and lack of equalizer et all, Touch player(samsung's bundled with omnia) is OK, and Kinoma is speedy and all yeah, but not that big on features. Any other alternatives.
And uhm, cab possible? Or just the installed folder zipped?
A good Music Player for WM... theres a number of them but it all depends on personal preference and there are a couple which do stand above the crowd such as Conduit's Pocket Player and PocketMind PocketMusic.
s2p is obviously the best music player.
as for video.. i'd go with coreplayer.
Already tested neromobile but I still prefer TCPMP for stable and light, or s2p for it´s nice design

Thanx to teixeirabmb for providing this
for me is coreplayer and pocket player
CorePlayer + Opal YouTube + S2P (because it kicks ass) + WMP for playlist = too many media apps, but it's all I need, also MobiTV !
i use mortplayer with iphone skin
i just luv how you can track change using gestures...
i use my phone as car music player so i dont like looking for buttons while driving
I tried Nero Mobile more than a year ago.
I will not try that again....ever, not if there are other choices out there.
Some of you mentioned S2P, I thought S2P is just a shell for WMP. Is it actually a player?
A Cab File Please..
Can anyone here provide a cab file for neromobile please.I'll be much thankful for the help.Please.....
After trying and failing to get xvid and divx codec movies to reliably play on Coreplayer or TCPMP, I decided to find a good converter, and used WinMenc to convert the files to .mp4 x264 format so I can play it natively on the device using the Windows Media Player built in, HOWEVER the Media Player looks like it;s going to load the videos, i.e. showed 'Loading...' with the white circle, but then it never moves on. The device is not crashed, as I can just exit out, but the movies will not play even in a format that the HD2 recognises. This is really annoying the hell out of me now, as all I want to do is play video on my phone, not really asking a great deal.
Has anyone got any advice for fixing this problem with Media Player 'getting stuck'? Cheers
Any ideas? Can WMP even be reinstalled or repaired? Seems a bit strange for an app native to the device to just not work.
what settings did you use for the encoding?
also, see kr00t0n's profile for winMenc, its the best soloution ive found IMHO

Yeah I'm using his HD2 profile buddy, saved as an .ini.
I think it's WMP to be honest, as it does the same on any .mp4. Currently, I can only get a very small number of films to run through TCPMP, but I can't identify what's causing them to work/not work. But WMP does not work at all!
I'm wondering if a hard reset might work on it. I'm getting seriously fed up with my HD2 though, far too many things wrong with it. I'm starting to think about flogging it now.

I converted a few films with a crappy free verison of some software can't remember the name tho. So far all have worked on all the media players I have used WMP, TCPMP and Core player. Are you on a custom ROM? Not sure if certain ROMS may have bugs in causing this.
