Guest madu Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 MALLOC!! You are an absolute STAR!! This is now my one&only(!) player!! Superb job! Oh, and let me thank for the equaliser again!!! Tops! PS: The only 2 things that come to mind - feedback :) - Does not indicate which equaliser slider you have selected. - Does not resume from last position in audio [mp3] file after player exit, then File>Open>Resume. Video is excellent and play/resume in video/mp3 works quick and very good indeed!! (DivX, ClintEastman's vids) Regards madu :( [plug] There is an extra skin for the player availible (winmedia style) here: http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=58267 [/plug] :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sim Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 ahhhh brilliant. malloc, you sir are an even greater guy than the terminator in your avatar 8) I tried some ogg files i ripped from Final Liberation but they seemed to stutter some, will try others later. Think their "quality rating" was 4/10. The equaliser is cool, nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malloc Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 @madu : - I've updated the .cab, now it can resume audio files where they were stopped :) (It saves the position when Paused and then exited) - Unfortunatly I couldn't find any good way to highlight the current slider in the equalizer dialog, windows UI are not handled very well in Smartphone2002, it will stay like that for now... - And could I upload your cool skin on my site ? @Sim : I tried OGG files I found on the net, and they didn't play correctly. Then I encoded a CD with a quality of 0 (it seems to be around 64Kb at this quality level), they played very well, and the sound was better than 64Kb WMA played by WMP. Also I'm using those Earbud Sony headphones, they sound far better than the headphone delivered with the phone :wink: (Off topic, but we received Nokia n'gages phone samples at work, :shock: and there was a fantastic headphone adapter (2.5 -> 3.5) with them, it works perfectly with the SPV and it's exactly what the SPV needed, I hope they'll sell it alone when the phone is out) malloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Malloc just updated to the Beta3B version but when I try to run it I get a error saying it's not a valid Windows CE application. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chinchilla92 Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Nice job Malloc. :) For a future release it will be cool to play WMA files. Thanx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madu Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I don't think WMA is ever gonna be supported by PocketMVP. And I don't know if that's a good thing or bad. To be honest, WMA are more/less decently supported in WMPlayer whereas MP3s are NOT (can, but don't wanna go into explaining y). @Malloc, you have actually revolutionaised my phone with your brilliant work, and I am eternally greatful. You know how I(not only) hate WMP for it's shortcomings.. Oh and the equaliser *me feeling so so pleased*. Damn you are good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Liko Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I have always the same problem with this version.... I can't play large files (nearly 100Mo). Is it a known bug ? if so, there is a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madu Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 @Liko: audio/video, what settings? PS: I play large mp3s all the time - had only one problem, then used Reinit Registry menu option, and it fixed itself. Working sweet again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The PocketTV Team Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 It's because by default PocketDivX builds an Index when you open an AVI file, and the index can be very large (several MB) if you open a large video file. But with the limited memory on the Smartphone, there may not be enough memory to create the Index. On the Pocket PC version there is an option to disable the Index, but I'm not sure that this option is available on the Smartphone version. Ask malloc. Ideally PocketDivX should disable indexing when there is not enough memory to create the Index (rather than refuse flatly to open the file!), but I don't think that it's implemented like that. When you disable the Index, you will be able to open large video AVI files you won't be able to seek in those files (seeking in AVI files uses the Index). Hope this helps...

Guest Chris Edwards Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 One way to cut down on the size of the index file would be to change the keyframe option in divx when encoding the file to something higher... It's every 300 frames by default... Changing this to 600 frames would help cut down the index a bit, but it would also make seeking a little slower (i think)... I'm sure 900 frames between keyframes would work too. 300 frames is 10 seconds at 30fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The PocketTV Team Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Ok, thanks for your help. But if I understand well what you have said, this problem doesn't have really solution with this version. Later maybe ? The support to disable the Index is in the PocketDivX source code. If it is not currently available in the Smartphone version, it's just because malloc did not include it in the menus he made in his UI. It would take him a second to add that.

Guest malloc Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 The support to disable the Index is in the PocketDivX source code. If it is not currently available in the Smartphone version, it's just because malloc did not include it in the menus he made in his UI. It would take him a second to add that. You're totaly right. But I changed the way the indexes are allocated since the very first Alpha. The pocket PC version was by default allocating way to much indexes (100 000 indexes, one index uses around 40Bytes, that is 4MB !!!). It's now allocating by step of 5000 indexes, this should be enough for a 2H movie with a keyframe every one or 2 seconds. And uses only 300KB of memory... and shouldn't be an issue on the smartphone, that's why there's no option to configure it :wink: I think the bug might be more complicated... I'll try to find what's wrong when I've some time... And if I don't, I'll add an option to remove indexes. Anyway, for those who wants to try without indexes, regedit : HKLUSoftwarePocketMvp set NoIndex to 1. But you won't be able to seek, or resume after that :cry: malloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madu Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Anyone know how I could map Side Volume Keys to control volume?? This would only require 2 values changed in the registry, what are the 'key numbers'? [for ultimate experience] :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Direct_Drive Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Hi! I can get the matrix/T3 trailers etc to work, but even Divx files of 45Mb are refusing to load! Is there a maximum file size i can realistically play with the player? btw I have almost nothing installed on the IPSM and I'm using the latest version of the software. Its annoying because I was hoping to use my SPV to watch episodes of south park etc and all the DivX files of this length are between 25-65Mb cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
