TCPMP was great but I'm not sure it's needed. mplayer plays a hell of a lot of files and it's more optimised for maemo.

Also. bad playback on N8*0 is gonna happen with any player.

From what I read TCPMP was able to play large (high bitrate) files quite well. Whether this was down to the graceful degradation, video scaling, optimised codecs for ARM or support for video acceleration hardware, I don't know.

What might be useful is for people to list what features of TCPMP they are after, then people could have a go at adding them to one of the mplayer frontends.

Likewise it would be useful to see what sorts of videos (and I'm thinking mainly the large xvid/divx that mplayer has some troubles with) TCPMP was able to play without troubles (plus the spec of the machine you're playing on) vs. the performance on an N8x0/880 and we'll see if there is actually a significant difference.

P.S. I lack a machine that TCPMP will run on, so I can't do this myself, sorry.

TCPMP plays how large and how high bitrate files on what screen?

Please! Not another media player for the N8x0. I got media players coming out me A***e! For the love of Jebus no!

Proper integrated PIM and MS-compatible Word Processing, that's what we need.

mumble..mumble....'nother media player....mumble..mumble

I don't think it's the wanting another media player, but rather the features in said player. That's a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for, assuming the features are actually worth having.

just for the record, I have a [semi-broken] acer n311.
400mhz cpu, 64mb ram, 640x480 resolution. close enough to my n800 (OS2008).
I made a simple test: ran the same file on both computers:
1) on "normal" video quality, the n800 is *a bit* better; video extremely laggy on both.
2) when reducing the quality to "low" on the TCPMP, my acer plays the video smoothly (with a bit lower quality, but more than acceptable on the VGA screen). I haven't yet tried the command on my n800.

I will post the comparison on youtube for you to see.
