According to this post in the CoreCodec Forums the highly anticipated CorePlayer Mobile for Symbian OS will be launched next Wednesday. CorePlayer is a multimedia player that supports a large number of formats including WMA, OGG, FLAC, DivX and XviD. The player will be available for S60 2nd Edition, S60 3rd Edition, UIQ 2 and UIQ 3 devices. Read on.
CorePlayer Mobile is already available for the Windows Mobile and Palm software platforms, the Symbian version will have the same features as these existing version.
The formats supported in the existing version include (from the CorePlayer website):
Might make the "multimedia monster" usable again. Wonder if it will support AVRCP?

Lol at it crashing in the middle of the video, but otherwise looks like a great app.

Can they use in CorePlayer the SDK for SymSMB 2.00 to play audio and video from computer hard drive over wireless access? This is the only way for such an application to be really useful and be in demand. This way there is no problem with free space on phone and user can preview a few movies before choose the one. And there is no need to copy movie or audio file into phone at all.
Because right now I can use SymSMB 2.00 from my phone for wireless access to my computer files, I can browse all files that are on my computer and I can copy files back and forth between phone and computer, all this is great. But I can not play network file on my phone right now as there is no an embedded Player in SymSMB so far.
Wouldn't it be great to have player with wireless access to computer hard drive with practically unlimited storage space?
Am I right or not?
Is it possible to use SymSMB SDK in CorePlayer?
Is it what SDKs are made for?
Can someone who understands have a look at this SDK, are these two products compatible?
SymSMB v.2.00 SDK is here.
P.S. And it looks like that SymSMB version for UIQ is on the way too, announcement is here.
jah, Symbian OggPlay (symbianoggplay.sourceforge.net) works nicely on S60 3rd ed - at least it worked fine on my E70 (until my E70 blew up... grrr) - plus it's open source and already available. There are a few quirks with fonts etc but the functionality works fine - music library, browsing, playing, key mapping, etc. Only thing I missed compared to the Nokia player was being able to use the Nokia 3.5mm jack adapter kit's remote to control the volume.
(Despite the name it plays mp3s and things too - presumably every format supported by the Nokia player.)
