Thanks for the site; however, I can't seem to follow their instructions.
I have a 4GB SD card inserted and I want to put the TomPlayer there.
So basically:

1) Extract the tomplayer_v0.11.zip
2) Copy the sub-folder and its files "\distrib\tomplayer" in the root of the SD card (using explorer)
3) Copy the 2 files in the \sdkregistry\tomplayer.* to the root of the SD
4) ??? Confused

5) Disconnect from HOME and reboot.
6) How do you get the TomPlayer icon on the screen and run the tomplayer?

I don't think I need to modify the tomplayer.cap because its default path is already pointing to the SDcard.
Thanks.

the SDcard is not your external SD card its the internal so you have to use Apppath /mnt/movinand/tomplayer/ for your 4GB card also remember just copy the tomplayer folder not the distrib

you have to modify BOTh the CAP file and the INI file to reference where each folder is.

Thanks guys it worked for me. however I noticed the volume is really low when playing? and remedies?

UPDATE: there is no volume when playing now. help.....

OK figured out the volume thing. resolution: when and only when the video is playing can u adjust the volume. just click on the screen and an extra menu appears which will allow volume adjustment. u must adjust it w/the video running. pausing it to adjust will not work.

FYI pocketdivxencoder is the much easier program to learn.

but I've noticed the smaller the resolution u make it, the better, smoother it will be.
