TCPMP vs CorePlayer ...I meant, is there any much different in performance, file format support, etc?Anyone is using CorePlayer?I am thinking of purchasing CorePlayer, but if it is not that much different compared to TCPMP, then better not.Thanks for any feedback #2 I believe TCPMP is way much superior and has more options IMHO.I tried CorePlayer when it was released as a commercial product.. and was not really impressedthe GUI of CorePlayer however is nicer.TCPMP has larger community which support it and continue to release plug-ins and codecs on a regular basisfor instance you can watch Youtube videos using TCPMP, but I'm not sure if CorePlayer can do that...maybe because I have been using TCPMP since it's first days, I like it that much... but Franky it's a great utility.. and above all it's freecheers #3 Hi duke,Thanks for your feedback. Where can I download the latest version of TCPMP and all its plugins?And which forum is the best community support for TCPMP?

Works rock solid on avis and flvs. However it simply refuses to work with youtube. A message "Could not open URL" keeps popping up...Any solution? What is the cause? I have had the same problem. TCPMP will not open and run most Youtube videos anymore. I think Youtube changed its format so TCPMP doesn't work anymore. #362 I have had the same problem. TCPMP will not open and run most Youtube videos anymore. I think Youtube changed its format so TCPMP doesn't work anymore. Try Youtube Play, search the forums. #363 where can I get MP3.plg source code?And how to build it? #364 I have had the same problem. TCPMP will not open and run most Youtube videos anymore. I think Youtube changed its format so TCPMP doesn't work anymore. Sad because the FLV is much higher quality than the RTSP type stream.... I don't think it's that youtube changed their 'format'... It's that they added more parameters into the URL, so that TCPMP gets confused and can't parse out the entire URL properly. #365 I FIGURED IT OUT!!! After much hard work, I've figured out the problem, but I don't know how to fix it. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than myself can actually FIX it now though....For those that don't know, the way PIE works with TCPMP is that PIE creates a video.m3u file inside \PROGRAM FILES\TCPMP which TCPMP then opens. video.m3u contains the URL of the FLV file that you pull off from youtube... (m3u files are simply playlists)Since youtube changed the format of its URL, it has gotten significantly longer.TCPMP has a hard limit of 256 bytes (characters) on the URL. So, what happens with the new URL is that it often exceeds the 256 byte limit, and TCPMP will only read it UP TO the 256 byte. Anything after 256 bytes is LOST and that's why you get "could not open URL"Example:Youtube video of half life live action thingee: Length = 263, I get the error. Can't play video.same video, but instead, I edited the video.m3u file and manually resolved the domain name (v15.lscache4.googlevideo.com = 74.125.167.35) Length=248 and the video playsI'm going to look into this further....edit: I downloaded the source, but I have no idea how to even begin (as I'm not a programmer...) I believe the relevant file is interface/win32/playlist.c but I'm not sure if that's the only one. Last edited: May 27, 2009 #366 I've found the solution!!!!!!I took the OP's source (first post), opened it in Visual Studio 2008 (freaking 3GB download from MS!!) and started snooping around.Modified the following files:interface/win32/playlst.c -> replaced all values of '256' with '1024'interface/win32/win_win32.c -> replaced all values of '256' with '1024' (except the one that says 256*1024... on my source, it's line 2598)common/portab.h -> replace MAXPATH 256 with MAXPATH 1024 (line 260)The resulting files are
