additional tcpmp plugins?

[GhengisKhan]

I know lossless support is on the todo list for Picard, but - currently he is probably getting TCPMP ready for version 1.0! I'm really excited about that, and seeing that all you would need is a plugin this is probably not very high priority right now. Btw, right now Musepack is the only supported lossless codec.
Edit. Wow Betaboy you're fast - read above post (apparently FLAC and WavPack have just been added and can be expected tomorrow)

I agree with Sirber - I would like 5.1 audio support in Win32 TCPMP version (especially since I got 5.1 speakers this Christmas :) ).

Bobololo, I think a vlc plugin would be nice too - especially of the AVC decoder.

On a side note, any word on when we can expect a test version of the encoder to try out? I am very eager to see how it will compare to Nero and x264 - especially quality and speed wise. Will it be a modded Dr. DivX OSS?

Sorry about the many posts, but here are two more things:

I would like to request full DVD support in TCPMP (at least Win32 version) with menus and all - it would be very nice if I could play an .iso DVD file without mounting it as well (like in VLC)

Also, the ActiveX TCPMP causes IE to crash when trying to navigate to a different site after playing a file (even after pausing it).

Keep up the good work,

P.S. Thanks for the updated DS filter Toff!

GK... a DVD filter is planned... but for later in Q2 2006 as we prep the player for a broader market. This does not mean that we will be the ones actually licensing the filter. But more like the third parties we license TCPMP too would. We will just provide them with the tools to enable it.

GK... me bad Jory added APE too.. 3 plugins in one night ;-)

Would be great if TCPMP win32 could playback RV content too.

Would be great if TCPMP win32 could playback RV content too.you mean all video formats real ever invented? ;)

and dont you think that current real video formats will become practically pretty much irrelevant once real comes up with their new format (hopefully being avc compliant) :D

[Sirber]

I mean the latest codecs, RV10 and cook. I have old encodes using those codecs which prevent me to use TCPMP.

why bloat CoreAVC with Real? I guess you maybe want an alternative real decoder, whatever I think this is not neccessary, haven't seen ppl using Real for anything but streaming, and even there it was replaced on any site it was used so far I visited regularly and replaced with Flash Video, as that works on far more PCs and Flash install easier for most.

And I'd still want a general colorspace conversion filter for dshow, but I want that since long now and nobody did one, I'm myself too bad at math to do it, like there were special resizing filters etc. :)

Also, no need to bloat, it can use host DLLs like the other player that supports real.

Sirber, The Core Media Player exists for longer now without CoreAVC, so better request it directly somewhere from the whole team of that. I only know Chinese Releases that still release much stuff also in RM, but mostly as optional encode besides other versions with MPEG4 Codecs.

On the color level issue I'm quite happy that i'm using my tv out and tv is well adjusted for the YV12 :)
