I must say that I do prefer Manila2D over the widget or SPB mobile shell user interfaces.

Installed Core Player and it's working like a legend :D

Pity about my Bleach ep's that are "stuttering" along, but I think it may be the way in which Dattebayo encodes it :o

Thanks will try that :)
Though the 2 other movies (.avi files) I've put on the handset have been playing perfectly in landscape with Core, I'll surely look into that and update ;)

That worked along with toggling with the "Smooth Zoom" feature on that page as well.

Just noticed the battery getting hot now...

@Park@82 Thanks!

@Knave Good question. I am sure it is, but I'm gonna hang for an answer to that one.
