Guest picard_beta Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 ok sorry i misunderstood. is a the video paused and resumed from there or small parts are missed? first case is when the buffer underruns, the second is when the cpu can't decode fast enough the movie and frames have to be dropped. but general advice is to try tweaking the encoding settings.
Guest barkythedog Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 hi picard i cant seem to find version 0.4 the site says its version 0.3 sorry to be a pain in the arse m8, the dog
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Its .04 here: http://beta.topcat.hu/download.html http://beta.topcat.hu/betaplayer.setup.0.04.exe http://beta.topcat.hu/betaplayer.smartphone.0.04.exe http://beta.topcat.hu/betaplayer.cabs.0.04.zip
Guest schriss Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Sure: I use Divx http://www.divx.com and 3ivx http://www.3ivx.com Try 3ivx first, as it allows easy quality setting, NO OTHER settings need to be modified :D Just use QP3 and see how it works :D I use VirtualDub to re-encode.
Guest barkythedog Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 cheers m8 i will give it a go and get back to you
Guest chuyennk Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Great player! It seemed the option 'No backlight keepalive' have no effect. The backlight always stay on no matter it is checked or not. I'm using it on xphone(E200), just want to listen to music with backlight off. Hope the song's title will be display on screen in next version. Thanks for ur great works
Guest picard_beta Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 It seemed the option 'No backlight keepalive' have no effect. The backlight always stay on no matter it is checked or not. I'm using it on xphone(E200), just want to listen to music with backlight off. what backlight timeout is set in your phone settings? what happens when you stop the song in betaplayer does the backlight turn off after that time? the normal backlight keepalive function in BetaPlayer is definitly not used when you play audio only files (or check the 'No backlight keepalive' function). although the power keepalive function is still called (so PDAs don't turn off). maybe this has the effect of continous backlight on your phone. strange
Guest chuyennk Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 what backlight timeout is set in your phone settings? what happens when you stop the song in betaplayer does the backlight turn off after that time Yes, 15s is my settings. the backlight did turn off at that time if I stop the song (dont need to exit betaplayer). Thanks for very quick reply
Guest greenwood Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Really great piece of software! I can play 192Kbits MP3s in the background without any glitches and my phone (QTek 7070) is still "useable". But there is one problem. After few songs my phone hangs. Betaplayer keeps playing the playlist (it even starts from the first song if it finishes last song) but the phone stops reacting and I have to take out the battery to bring it to life.
Guest picard_beta Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 i'll try to find a solution for backlight with audio only. btw what does the power button do on a smartphone? can a smartphone be turned off (suspend mode) as pocketpc? is there a timeout for that? i only see backlight, display and home screen timeouts in SP2003 emulator. which timeout is for keyboard locking? home screen?
Guest chuyennk Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 There's no suspend mode on smartphone. Same as emulator, it only has backlight, display & home screen timeouts that we can set for each profile, no key lock timeout. Btw, how do u call the power keepalive function in smartphone? SystemIdleTimerReset? It has no effect on smartphone, right? And how you keep backlight on? SetPowerRequirement & ReleasePowerRequirement?
Guest dankingdc Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Thanks for the update! This is easily my favorite Smartphone app, and if I could use it to play mp3's too, I'd be extremely happy. a couple things: 1) is there any way to save a playlist? 2) when playing mp3's, is there a way you could display the current mp3 and upcoming mp3's in the main view screen? Thanks again for all the work.
Guest picard_beta Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Btw, how do u call the power keepalive function in smartphone? SystemIdleTimerReset? It has no effect on smartphone, right? And how you keep backlight on? SetPowerRequirement & ReleasePowerRequirement? no i don't use SetPowerRequirement (i never heard from it before). MSDN sais it's only from wince 4.0. if any media is played i call SystemIdleTimerReset and SHIdleTimerReset. plus during video playback i set the backlight timeout in registry to a very large number. the problem is that on some smartphones calling only the two idletimerreset(probably SHIdleTimerReset, but i'am not sure) will disable the backlight timeout too. this is bad for audio only playback. so i will probably call SHIdleTimerReset only if video played.
Guest picard_beta Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 1) is there any way to save a playlist? 2) when playing mp3's, is there a way you could display the current mp3 and upcoming mp3's in the main view screen? these two features are currently not yet available, but i'am working on it...
Guest muzzio_giovanni Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 my 0.04 version don't run,crush and create a "crush.txt" file : picard can you help me?
Guest dankingdc Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 these two features are currently not yet available, but i'am working on it... Great! Thanks.
Guest picard_beta Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 offtopic: i deceided to buy a smartphone. it would definitly help in development. but with this i just made myself a new problem. buy an old model just for development or a new as my primary phone or something in the middle. i checked the new models expected in near future, wow! c500,mpx220,mpx100. but ofcoz i'am not sure when can i get one here in Hungary and how much will they cost...
Guest mavisdavis Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 i'd just get an e200 for now. by the time your contract does end they'll be loads more to choose from and e200 are so cheap now..Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest schriss Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 picard_beta: why wait for the phone to arrive in your country, buy on eBay from x1387 - he has all latest stuff, I bought two smartphones from him, no problems :D 11032 items sold, Positive Feedback: 98.9% His store is here: http://stores.ebay.com/id=41533690&ssPageName=L2 Consider also Motorola MPX, should be available in December :D http://www.lordpercy.com/motorola_MPX_smartphone.htm http://www.infosyncworld.com/hardware/comm...s/specs/36.htmlmotorola_mpx_00.jpgMotorola_MPx300_L.jpgMotorola_MPx300_3_L.jpg
Guest picard_beta Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 thanks. i'll check it out. mpx300 is not a smartphone, "just" pocketpc phone edition (from the picture) but i shouldn't have bought this up in this thread. sorry. i'll go the right forum section with my questions..
Guest schriss Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Just a quick note about MPx, if you missed that: "the shell can open on a unique hinge design either in traditional clamshell way or as a hinged book style which is easier to use for smartphone operations." :D
Guest Pondrew Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Back on topic: can anyone tell me when the last update to Beta Player was? I'm at work and most sites including the Beta Player site are filtered :shock:
Guest picard_beta Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 about three days ago. version 0.04
Guest Pondrew Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Thanks for that, and for all the hard work on the 'Player.
Guest schriss Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Yep, the best player there is. The fastest, and the number of features is constantly growing :D By the way, what does "Slow Video Memory" do? I can't notice any difference between enabled-disabled...
