tcpmp player T2 problem

[docgwen]

tcpmp player on T2 was working, but now continually states out of memory and resets

I've reinstalled it several times, I've also tried to partial install plugins.

Any ideas? I have 18 m on internal free and have a 1 gig card

In my experience, the TT and T2 are unstable when playing videos above about 23MB in size with TCPMP. Large videos start fine, but if you try to resume playback it will cause a reset. Is this the problem that you have experienced?

The cure? Upgrade to a T3 :)

Yes, it's not how much RAM you have free but how much dynamic heap your device has. The T2 has only 800kb of heap; the T3 has 12mb and my Zodiac has 10mb.

There are a couple of programs you can try to increase your heap-- Fargo Heap Resizer and UDMH. Fargo is free, UDMH is not.

Correct! However, the TT and T2 still suffer from this problem, even with the Fargo Heap resizer.

Thanks for the feed back. I've managed to get them running better by dropping some of the plugins and running them off of a high mb card. Although you are correct even now they are more choppy than my T3. - We use them to play video lessons for kids- and they still do the job. I'll look up the fargo heap resizer and see if it will help a little. Still much better than Kinoma ;) and an m130. LOL
