Telstra Diamond - Coreplayer: Video playback

[dickenz]

Hey guys,

Got my Telstra branded Diamond, installed Coreplayer and when playing any video, no matter what setting (in coreplayer; QTv, DirectDraw, etc), file format, resolution, bit rate, codec etc etc...

Well, the video plays smooth for about 1 second then stops, progress bar continues for a bit, smoothly too, then the video jumps ahead catches up, plays smoothly for about 1 second again then stops. Repeat, wash and rinse. Sound comes out fine the whole video.

My memory usage is only at about 75% when using the player. I also tried to install TCMCP - won't even install, seems my Diamond doesn't like the CAB.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers.

Maybe you should flash your diamond with some tweaked rom. The default one suck ass.

About the playback, cant help with your problem but i run the lastest CorePlayer here and play any video smoothly even at higher res.
The only think missing is the AC3 support, im too lazy to convert the movies.

For the TCMCP, you need to install the recompiled cab for the Diamond. You can find it here at the forum. Just do a search.

I don't know coreplayer yet, but it is somewhat similar to TCPMP.
Try lowering the buffer size. it will be depending on the file your trying to play.
Some needs higher buffer size, some don't. Or maybe convert your file in mpg format.

Hi cud it be, that your files are all of WMV formate? I have exactly the same problem, but only with WMV files. What you can do instead, is using the built in Windows Media Player for it enables a smoother playback than the CorePlayer.

Somehow it seems the CorePlayer can not use the ATI Imageon on our Diamonds for now.
Maybe in later versions

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies so far.

I've tried tweaking around with the settings however no such luck. At first I was only trying WMV files then I tried MPEG, AVI and mp4 - All yielded the same results. I'd love to try a cooked ROM but can't as I have a Telstra Diamond and it's different to the rest so I'll lose 850mhz NextG network if I go down that route which is the only reason I haven't so far.

Guess I will just have to wait for cooked Telstra Diamond compatible ROMs.

Cheers,
Byron.
