TCPMP Changes name to Betaplayer 1.0 (May 15)
As reported here!, the TCPMP (Coreplayer) formerly known as Betaplayer will get the new (old) name Betaplayer as it ready to be launched on May 15 (Projected date).
As we all know this is the “king” of all mediaplayers out there. TCPMP can play H.264 (iPod video format) videos with FFPMEG plugin, (but they come out choppy). The CoreAVC plugin for TCPMP is much better at playing these videos, but it was pulled from circulation until the licensing issues are resolved.
For the audio track of “video iPod” videos, you will have to have the AAC plugin as well, which has its own set of licensing issues.
With the new Betaplayer 1.0 release, you can purchase those licensing separately as stated below:
“Let me tell you what is going on and what you all should prepare for as we get ready for our 1.0 releases. But before that… let me break down each version of our player.
- TCPMP will be renamed back to BetaPlayerâ„¢ and will be our Open Source playground for testing new technologies for third party licensing.
- Giving birth will be the long awaited CorePlayerâ„¢ , it will be our Closed Source version with alot of features not available in BetaPlayer.
I’m not going to go through alot of the details of in each version at this time. But I will let you know that codecs for our Open Source version of BetaPlayer will be available to purchase in a bundle (CoreASP, CoreAVCâ„¢, CoreMP3, CoreAAC v2.0). So no more confusion on proper playback.
CorePlayer will also feature: an entirely new GUI interface, Skin, Advanced Streaming, UPNP support, Integrated webserver, Client Database…
What OS’s?: CE, Windows Mobile, Windows, .NET, Palm, Symbian, Brew, OS X, MacTel, Java, Linux GTK, Linux QT, Linux Qtopia, Linux Freescale. …”
