TCPMP news: new VS2008 build with somewhat faster FLV playback; much better subtitle support

TCPMP is a very nice, multiplatform (Palm OS, WinCE, Pocket PC and MS Smartphone) multimedia player with some, even by the current, latest CorePlayer, unmatched features like HE-AACv2 playback or subtitle support.

XDA-Devs forum member milesmowbray has released a TCPMP source compatible with VS2008 to fuel further, independent development. In addition to this, he has turned on all compiler optimizations in VS2008 and, now, he states FLV (for example YouTube) playback is 5...10% faster than that of the original build on his Kaiser. See THIS for more info.

There is also a new subtitle plug-in for TCPMP, TCPMP SUBS Subtitle Plugin, HERE. It’s, as opposed to the previous, SMI-only subtitle plug-in, is stated to be compatible with the following formats:

Advanced Sub Station Alpha (*.ass)
Sub Station Alpha (*.ssa)
Sami (*.smi,*.sami)
Subripper (*.srt)

It’s also stated to be faster on 2700G-based models like the Dell Axim x50v/x51v in the native 2700G decoder mode than the SMI subtitle plug-in.
