I have NEVER had a problem with Slingplayer Mobile on my Sprint HTC Mogul PPC-6800.  I never understood why people complained about it so much.  Works great for me.

Yes 30 days.

You are either oblivious to sensing motion or have qualcomms drivers for directdraw installed. And I know you don't have qualcomms drivers installed.

Playing video full screen with full motion (i.e. the entire screen is animated) looks like crap. I'd say 7 frames per second at most. Watching it with the remote up non-full screen is almost tolerable. And it'll average around 15 FPS with low motion video. It should be fluid and a full 30 FPS when running full screen or in the little window.

If you compare watching Sling mobile on the PPC6700 to the PPC6800 (make sure you watch watching it full screen and the screen is fully animated) the 6800 looks like crap. Difference is night and day.

The PPC6700 has directdraw properly implemented. HTC let the PPC6800 out the door with this bug. It effects over 10 HTC phones all with the same video chipsets...

Maybe what you should say is 7FPS of full screen playback is acceptable to you.

To the rest of us who know the device shouldn't operate that way it's a major issue. The problem exists not only in slingplayer but in a lot of other applications. Another thing you may not realize is while your watching slingmobile full screen on your 6800 it's taking ALL of your CPU. It shouldn't be... the only reason it does is because of the bad directdraw drivers.

Easy example to show how cruddy the directdraw video rendering on the 6800 is is fire up TCPMP (the core pocket media player) on 6800 and PPC6700 (4 year old device). Choose directdraw for the video rendering on both devices. Play both devices back /w a full screen motion video file. Then turn both on for full screen playback...
