Coreplayer 1.2.0 UIQ3


Every problem is fixed! Now we have the best player ever! There is file association now, back light is keep on, plenty of codec, good picture and sound...
Formerly known as The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) and also BetaPlayer, now it is simply called CorePlayer Mobile. It has undergone various beta releases in the last 4 years and for those who had the opportunity to use it on Windows Mobile or Palm devices, it provided new experiences in viewing multimedia on the move.

n the past, with limited hardware and processing power on mobile devices (expecially smartphones) compared to a full blown desktop/laptop computer, users needed to encode their favourite videos before they could be played on the move. Desktop applications like PocketDivX Encoder, S.U.P.E.R. and DVDCatalyst are some examples and it is not easy to choose the one which produces the universal best result. Won't it be better if we could just throw any music or video files in our Symbian OS smartphones and play them without hassle and without the need to convert to mobile friendly formats? Yes, with CorePlayer, we can!

Editor's note. Common sense still needs to prevail. Trying to play a VGA resolution desktop video, encoded at 20MB of data per minute of footage, is still foolhardy and a profligate waste of precious memory card space. CorePlayer may help solve the codec mess but you still need to be aware of the resolution and space requirements of the original file.

CorePlayer is essentially a universal player which supports a huge number of common audio and video formats. Here is the full list of supported files :-
Audio : MP3, AAC, MKA, WMA, WAV, OGG, Speex, WAVPACK, FLAC, MPC, AMR, ADPCM, ALaw, MuLaw & Midi
Video : H.264 (AVC), MKV, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 part 2 (ASP), DiVX, XViD, MJPEG.
Containers : Matroska, MOV, TS, PS, 3GPP, AVI, MPEG-4, NSV
And also JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG photos

Tell me, can any other Symbian application work with all of the above? SmartMovie, DivXPlayer, MobileDVD, OggPlay, LCG Jukebox, etc are examples of good existing applications and systems but they are limited to playing videos or music only, with much tighter compatibility. None offers an integrated solution like CorePlayer.
