Well, all i can say is, it looks fine to me! Not jaggy or anything.

Like i said, i just grab a xvid avi file (like a TV episode or something) and put it on my SD card and it plays fine on my PDA with this program.

I'm bumping this to get people interested.

It's possible to port TCPMP, but undoubtly a lot of work, because a lot of the codecs are especially written for PDA architecture (mostly ARM) plus the whole interface code, which is written for Windows Mobile (would need a complete rewrite). Also, just because TCPMP can play fullspeed on PDA's with 200Mhz, doesn't mean by any means that it could also run at full speed on PSP (though it probably can, if done correctly). Different architecture just means different execution behaviour, especially when things like cache and RAM are completely differently attached to the system.
The same goes for VLC but there it's even harder, because that is only x86 code.
If you're aiming for a near-perfect player, I would rather try TCPMP. Especially because of my respect for picard and his demo scene history

If you just want .avi and .mpeg videos to play on PSP, use the imperfect psplayermt or wait till 0x89 is out - it will have those capabilities (I'm working on that part) and I will also at the same time release a modified PMPMod version with .avi playback.

I know theres also a version of tcpmp available for mips processors, its available on the site mentioned in the first post.

Auto-Resizing .AVI playback or the whole resizing process then .AVI playback?

MIPS != MIPS, the mips version of TCPMP is at least not R4000. It's much easier to work from there though, yes, but still the whole interface part needs to be rewritten from scratch, plus psp-specific optimizations (useage of GU/vfpu).

Sorry, I cannot follow you. Do you mean wheather the 0x89 video playback will have fullscreen playback? It will be the same as the current PMP Mod (ie fullscreen, zoom and different aspect ratios), only that it plays directly from .avi/.mpeg containers rather then .pmp

TCPMP on PDA auto-resizes any avi when u play it. (see my posts earlier.)
Just put it on your SD card and hit play, no matter what resolution, u don't have to wait for it to encode or something.

Thats the reason i thought of this player to maybe work on PSP. Because i was getting so annoyed with having to re-encode everything.

Actually, since the beginning of the whole psp homebrew scene (i live in the Netherlands and i imported a original 1.50 psp from Japan) i've followed every development since then and i've been waiting for something to come by that will play avi's without converting.

Sure it's more space on your mem.stick, but i just like to (and i hope i may say this...) download a TV episode for instance and watch it on my way to work or whatever and then i delete it anyway, so the bigger filesize doesnt bother me. I'm usually in a hurry, so re-encoding takes time, and u have to think ahead to encode something for the next day etc etc (so basicly i'm just lazy i guess. LOL)

PiMPStreamer for instance is great because u can select any file and hit play, the only big downside so far is that it doesnt work outside your own wifi-lan. At home its just brilliant, but on-the-go i want to look at my sexy psp screen instead of my PDA!

(edit: sorry, i know i'm repeating myself, but hey i was bored and was just thinking about how great it would be if some of u smart guys would actually figure this out!

)

I'm talking to Raphael. Would I have to resize vids then run it. Or would it auto-resize?

**Raphael** · 10-16-2006, 09:47 AM

I totally forgot about that thread, heh. Well, it will work without reencoding (and resizing), but the larger the original video, the slower the playback (same as with current PMP Mod 2.02). It might be fullspeed for something like up to 512x340, maybe some more when more optimizations can be made later.

GeneticDisasteR · 08-21-2009, 09:32 AM

i know it might be extremely dumb of me to bump this, almost over three years since the last post, but i really have to!

the psp is PERFECT for media playback. it should have come with divx support by default. some one please pick this project back up! this will be the most promising homebrew project ever attempted on the portable!

Just an idea, maybe TCPMP on PSP is possible?
