The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP)
for S60 & UIQ is out!!
Portable video is fast becoming the most popular secondary use of mobile phones, so making sure you have the right media player is now a priority for many Smartphones device owners.
The Core Pocket Media Player is an open-source, free video and audio player compatible with all the most popular codec’s and multimedia file types. The CoreCodec team are working on a Symbian port of their TCPMP player, in fact their port to Symbian OS is now available for download and testing.
The current version of TCPMP for Symbian OS (S60 and UIQ platform) is the early alpha release. According to Dan Marlin, CEO CoreCodec, the engine is fully functional but there are still some problems (no multithreading yet for buffering, audio sync, Nokia audio gap at start) it's far from usable yet and basically without user interface. The current implementation will search d:,e:,f: drivers for AVI files and auto play them in full screen mode.
I’ve just try it on my N90 and it works just fine but also to be honest it doesn’t looks so well due the high-resolution screen and operating in interpolation mode, however on regular S60 screens it should looks great. So for the adventurous who would like to test this new media offering it can be downloaded from Symbian Freak:
Or from CoreCodec as well:
