I've always liked CorePlayer. Alas it is no longer free but well worth the cost.

Don't forget, you can get 20% off right now with the launch of our new software store. ;)

[Jerry Raia]

Yeah I just bought it using the code. You can't run it until you enter the registration code which you have to send an email to get. Irritating to say the least.

will it support horizontal screen like the i320?

[Jerry Raia]

It works on the Q just fine.

Will it support rtsp:// and .pls files when streaming on Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone?

Is this the same as TCPMP?

[Jerry Raia]

Is this the same as TCPMP?

Same player, yes.

[Mike Temporale]

Is this the same as TCPMP?

Yup.

Will it support rtsp:// and .pls files when streaming on Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone?

Not a clue. What's rtsp?

[Jerry Raia]

Not a clue. What's rtsp?

I think that's RealPlayer.

Is it just me, or does it look like the announcement page has been hacked?

[Jerry Raia]

It sure has. :roll:

I also found this blog (http://solsie.wordpress.com/2006/03/26/tcpmp-coreplayer-major-announcement-is-eminent/), which says a free version will continue to be developed.

EDIT: The posting is from March, apparently, so I'm not sure if there is still a free version.

[Jerry Raia]

I can't seem to get to any of the TCPMP sites at the moment. Not sure what that means.

[Rocco Augusto]

you start working 18 hour days and look at all the conversation you miss :)

personally, until TCPMP breaks or stops working, i see no reason to upgrade. my screen is to tiny to care about the new skins and with all the time i spend at work, who has time to watch videos on their device? :(

The March announcement (linked above) said they would have a two versions: betaplayer (free) and coreplayer ($$). The products page currently has a link to betaplayer (http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=25&amp;Itemid=55), but the link doesn't work (for me, at least). I agree - I would pay some money for this (in fact, I think I donated some in the beginning), but I don't need anything beyond MPEG-4/MP3 video support, and I don't see that being worth $25 (or $20). Plus, based on a quick perusal of their forums, CorePlayer appears to be a step back at this point.
