CoreCodec is proud to release v1.2.1 our "OFFICIAL GOLD RELEASE"
of CorePlayer Mobile for MIPS based devices running PocketPC / CE 4.x and 5.x.

Following our PPC, Smartphone, Windows and tomorrow OS X versions, this 'gold' release is the first ever version of CorePlayer Mobile we have released for MIPS based processors.

As with our other platforms this Official Gold Release introduces YouTube support built right into CorePlayer. Now many of you might say no biggie... there are a few applications that can do the same thing... or "I can go right to YouTube.com to watch the videos and it looks better, so why do I need CorePlayer?" ahhh... but then that where you would be wrong. Lets touch on a few points.

- Multi-platform with no dependancies (web browser)
- No Adobe Flash required

But the BIGGEST reason why YouTube is better in CorePlayer then on YouTube.com or any other third party application? CorePlayer is the first media player to feature Configurable YouTube quality control.... You control the bandwidth and quality that your platform can handle. From Low, Medium, to High quality (H.264) streams. Once you start to play with the YT interface in CP and play with the quality settings you will see what we mean by 'Great'!!!

Some things you can do with YouTube in CorePlayer:
- Disable YouTube 'Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Network' and uncheck 'Enable YouTube Support' Restart and its gone
- Set stream/quality 'Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Network > YouTube Format'
* Low (RTSP)
** Medium (RTSP)
*** High (H.264)
- Change the default YouTube Profile to be shown 'Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Network > YouTube User' change to the user you wish
- Use http://m.youtube.com on Pocket IE (mobile) or IE (desktop) and click "play' to play a video in CorePlayer.
- See previously played YT videos in the CoreTheque Media Library under 'Top 50', '100 Last Played' or 'Not Rated'
- Open YouTube Videos the 'EASY' way. 'File > Open URL' youtube://123456 (replace 123456 with the video ID, for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123456 )

Now YT support is not complete and in fact there is alot more we will be adding like Bookmarks, More fluid linking, 'get more' from the topics, etc. One thing to also note that YT might change how they handle streams from time to time (they do this often) so look for any updates of CP if YT goes down for any given connectivity profile. (CoreCodec is not responsive for your bandwidth usage ;-) So please check your phone providers data plan limits to make sure you are not going to get charged for streaming data.)

We still have a long way to go on our CorePlayer 1.x. journey. But as with every new version is released we want to thank the CoreCodec community for their continued feedback and support as the CorePlayer platform grows and as we grow with it.

Hi,

I don't see the handheld Cowon Iaudio Q5 in the "Intended Device" area when I try to purchase the player.

Have you any information about it ?

Regards,

Michael.

You should try to contact MobiHand and let them know about the device. Maybe they forgot it or don't know about it yet.

Hello,
I own a PMP Cowon IAudio Q5 and I don't see it in the "IntendedDevice" area when I try to purchase the CorePlayer Mobile v1.2.1. The Cowon Q5 has the same CPU/OS than the Clearview Infinity and it runs with Windows CE 5.0 (MIPS).

Any clue ?

Regards,
Michael.
