TCPMP on Hermes

[Guest Matt Kirby]

Just got a Vario II, and imediately installed TheCorePocketMediaPlayer.

When playing video (encoded with PocketDivxEncoder) the screen gets scrambled and is therefore unviewable.

This issue ocours with 0.71 (latest stable) and 0.72RC1 (beta).

To fix it you have to blindly hit the options button, then video, and then select any video driver except the ATI Imageon.

Once you can see what you are doing I think the best one to use is the RawFrameBuffer.

Screen shots of where you should be aiming are attached, more details over at The Core forums.

Once set does TCPMP store the video driver, i.e. does it work as expected from then on or do you need to choose this every time you watch a video?

I assume a fix is being worked on?

You only have to make the change once, it remembers it from then on.

It's a known issue, so hopefully they are working on a fix.

Had this problem myself yesterday. Boss wasn't pleased when South Park blasted out in the middle of the office. My "quick fix" was to soft reset the device and then load TCPMP without a video being loaded and then trial and error until I got a mode that worked. The RawFrameBuffer does indeed seem to be the best.

Thanks for that, just installed .72 myself but not watched anything yet as I won't get my microSD card until Wednesday.

Been forum trawling on this one... problem is rawframebuffer makes it work, but the performance is bad. Apparently switching off the radio stack and audio may help...

Anyway, one forum reckoned the i-mate rom resolved the issue, so seems like it's more an issue with drivers rather than TCPMP, hopefully a hermes ROM update from T-Mobile will be forth coming to resolve this and maybe also improve the battery.... (holds breath)

Once the raw video has been set dont get any problems at all quality is great with divx

On my m3100 it auto deselcts the video driver but i am having problems with sound it says there is a wave output: device error, is it just the file i have put on there or a fault with the program.. anyone have any ideas?
