The core pocket media player tcpmp 0.66

[Guest pally_21]

I just downloaded the tcpmp from corecodec.org..

there are these files

tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.66.zip

tcpmp.sh3.cabs.0.66.zip

do i need these files for spv c500

i have installed tcpmp.smartphone.0.66.exe

some files work fine but some files pause every now and again

any help would be great

ARM and SH3 are types of processors for Pocket PC's, so these are not intended or needed for Smartphones. If you've got one version of it to run on your phone then you must've got the right one too! :)

What kind of videos pause, and (crucially) what size are they? When you open them, go into File and Media Info, then look for the size of them - 220x176, 320x240 that kind of thing. If it's larger than your screen is (220x176 for nearly every Smartphone except the new C500) then this will almost certainly be the culprit as you're phone's spending so much time shrinking the image it can't play it properly.

Try running the file through PocketDivxEncoder and it'll come out in a Smartphone-friendly format (if you ask it to).

If the file's screen size is correct and it still pauses, then it's probably due to too many programs being open. Try using Binarys.com's excellent (free) Task Manager to close some of them and try again.

Good luck. ;)

In file manager you can find the .exe, and then 'create shortcut'. Then save to 'Storage/Windows/Start Menu'

:)

I think this is what you wanted?

Or you might want to have a look at iLauncher from SBSH which will let you put icons on the today screen as well as the start menu.
