Subject: TCPMP Plug in Problem

Dear Colibri Support, 

HW: Colibri PXA320 V1.3A with standard Evaluation board.
SW: Standard Win CE 6.0 V3.5 Bootloader V3.5
 
We are testing your optimized TCPMP, but facing some problems.
I installed the player on the FlashDisk, started player.exe, open a File over the "Open File..." Dialog.
But the playback area was black and an popup with an error message was displayed:
"BlockAllocated==0". 

On serial port I get the following messages:
Exception 'Undefined Instruction' (1): Thread-Id=07040016(pth=8519176c), Proc-Id
=069c000a(pprc=855a3da4) 'player.exe', VM-active=069c000a(pprc=855a3da4) 'player .exe'
PC=4109b2c8(colibri.plg+0x0000b2c8) RA=410967fc(colibri.plg+0x000067fc) SP=0024f 8a4, BVA=00000000

I tried a couple of different movie formats and picture formats but I see always the same behaviour.
The display is connected over the VGA port and I used the default resolution of 640x480.

Best regards,

Happy Customer

Just FYI: The reason for the problem in this sample is, that the current TCPMP plugin does not support Win CE 6.0. It only supports Win CE 5.0
