The Core Pocket Media Player

At first, only a Palm OS build was made available, although all that has changed since you can now also get your hands on a functional Windows Mobile build (Pocket PC and Smartphone). This popular open-source media player will allow you to play all sorts of audio and video files (the file compatibility list can be found <a href="http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about">here</a>), which is great if you've been searching for an all-in-one mobile media player. It looks and feels just like the old BetaPlayer, so you won't have to get used to a new interface all over again. Best of all, TCPMP is free, and can be downloaded from <a href="http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download">here</a>.

WMV works :D but still no MPEG2... :(

[pivaska]

Should I be replacing my BetaPlayer with this one?????

[Ward]

It is a renamed and newer version of Betaplayer. Possibly to reflect imminent non-beta status.

In short, if you want to stay updated, then yes, it'd be a good idea to upgrade.

The latest build of TCPMP has a few enhancements over BetaPlayer 0.5.

If you read what is said on the website. TCPMP does not support the intel graphics chip (2700G) when using WMV.

WMP10 support (WMA/WMV) (except on devices with 2700G)

Subtitles work just fine for me. I've watched Hero several times using BetaPlayer.

[Jason Lee]

Woot! this version finnally works with the ATI video in my sx66! yay! much better playback now!

Embedded subtitles, yes. Subtitles stored in a separate .srt text file, no.

Currently, I have to burn the subs onto the video stream in order to watch them on the Pocket PC.

While Betaplayer IS a horrible name, who really thinks that "The Core Pocket Media Player"..... or TCPMP is a better one??

I've spoken with some who prefer BetaPlayer, and others who prefer TCPMP. So it's a lose-lose situation. :lol:

Bottom line is the program's functionality is great, although the current build of TCPMP is a bit buggy for me at the moment. :(

[Don't Panic!]

Wmv works on X50vs if you click on options then video and switch from Intel 2700g to Raw FrameBuffer. You can also take screenshots with resco in that mode.

HTH
