In an earlier post (http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=4783), we showed you how to load TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player) to watch streaming internet videos from sites such as YouTube and Google Video. However, if you are an owner of a Tilt/TyTN II, you may have noticed that the videos were choppy at best--videos would play for a few seconds, stop and buffer, play for another few seconds, buffer some more.
Our friends at AllShadow.com (http://www.allshadow.com/2008/01/05/heres-how-to-have-smoother-video/) has posted some settings to help make video play back smoother. Here's what you need to do in TCPMP (taken from AllShadow.com (http://www.allshadow.com/2008/01/05/heres-how-to-have-smoother-video/).
1. From the main video screen press Options > Buffering > and double the number in the Normal Buffer Size field. Press Ok.
2. Back at the main video screen again press Options > Video > Video Driver and Select ‘GDI.'
I performed the above settings and videos just take a few seconds to buffer when you first play, but do not stop intermittently to buffer in between, which is a vast improvement on how videos played before.
