CoreCodec has just updated one of the most famous media players for mobile phones, the “
CorePlayer”. The “
CorePlayer” is famous for the wide range of formats it is able to play and has become even more popular since the last update which brought YouTube support for a part of
Symbian devices.
The brand new update v1.2.4 for the
Symbian platform, so both
UIQ and S60 devices is another nice update which improves stability and brings new features.
Apart from the normal bug fixes and improvements, there is above all the possibility to play Flash Video files (*.
flv”) which are used to deliver most of Flash web content. Like this, you can play saved files from portals like YouTube on your
Symbian phone.
CoreCodec has also added the YouTube browser to every
Symbian version of the
player. Furthermore, they put efforts in further adapting to the
Symbian platform so that video playback should be faster now.
Last but not least
RSS feed support has been improved by adding support for site specific
funtions like “Revision3″.
FLASH SUPPORT INFOFirst…. Thank you Adobe!! Your customers and our community appreciate the fact that you looked at what was best for them and Opening up the
SWF and
FLV specs goes a long way at spreading the Flash love even more so then ever before.
LIMITATIONS- At this time we will only support the Flash Container (
FLV)
- Don’t look for
CorePlayer to play the files ‘within’ a
webpage (it will however play linked
FLV content and open
CorePlayer).
Embbedded support will come by early next year with v2.0 of
CorePlayerX/
CorePlayer API integration.
- We will not support ON2’s VP6 as an embedded video
codec anytime soon if at all. If the demand warrants it we will look into the possibilities but till then…
SWFThis is where we are taking a stand back approach. We will likely include
SWF support at some point… but are looking at the options of either using the upcoming Adobe
Runtime and or…. creating our own from scratch via the newly released
SWF specs.
