WMP plugin - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I am looking for a today screen plugin that enables me to control WMP from the today screen. Any ideas?

Spb ToPlay...
... available here: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/plugins.html?en
Despite what it may seem, it doesn't need spb Pocket Plus to run.

Thanks but the spbtodayer player is an independant player and just plays tracks in order.
With a bit more searching I found this

Which has far better integration with wmp10 and does repeat and shuffle plays

WMP 10 Today Plugin

Does anyone know of a Windows Media Player plugin for the today screen that works with version 10 of WMP. THe PHM plugin doesn't work with 10. Also I tried other programs like pocket music but they have bad integration with the operating system and voice command.
Thanks,
Daniel
Here it is...
WMP 10 plugin like IPOD with today screen plugin and portuguese operators configuration. If you do noy need install the 3 operators cab...inside
Thanks- I installed the .CAb but the today plugin only says "Play media files"- is it supposed to have controls- like Play, Stop , Next etc...
The Today Screen plugin opens WMP 10 with a IPOD Screen and on the screen, on the sides you have BIG controls that you can use .
I was looking for a plugin that allows you to control WMP from the today screen. Thanks anyway- also- i have a better Ipod skin that I uploaded here:
I accidently ran the optimus /cab and now my connections are screwed up-
how do I remove it?

very simple no control on what to play. just play/pause next/prev and vol up/down it would be nice if we could atleast select a folder or playlist. everytime i start it, it plays my WMA tones! hahaha o well.
Ipod skin
Thanks for the very cool iPod Skin.

Good find, thanks
Why don't you give mortplayer a try, the today plugin for is is great
I have to say that anything that's not WMP just isn't good for the pocket pc (in my opinion) because of the lack of integration with the OS. For example, when I get a call it stops my music, then when i'm finished it resumes playing. As far as I know only WMP does this. Also, all the other players are too fancy for me- I don't need all those controls- just Play,Pause, Volume, and Next/previous track.
Although- does anyone know how to map other buttons. When I try to map other buttons besides the 5 "joystick" buttons it goes to that function. For example, if I choose mute and press "assign" and then press the contacts button- it switches me to my contacts. Same thing for my camera, phone, calander etc...
Any ideas??
Thanks!
ps- I love the iPod skin too!! I got it a while ago and can't find it anymore due to copyright issues. Good thing I saved it on my HD!
I actually found a newer version while seeing if what I wrote was true-
Here you go!

pocketmind "pocket music" won't work!

i think the subject says it all!
Version 3.71 won't launch.
Subsequently, Conduits Pocket Player 2.61 will launch, but the playback is so slow and jittery, it either must be a dog on the processor, or this is where the limitation of the OMAP processor is revealed. Ouch.
uninstalled pocket music, but found files are still looking for it, may not have completely gone?
iMusic works!
http://imusic.citsoft.net/eng/main.asp
tried both imusic & conduits pocket player, imusic is very good but both lack a couple of facilities that pocket music had,
display off function & lock hardware buttons
Don't bother with iMusic, i was told it screws up the ringtone capability.
thanks for the advice,
i had a similar problem with pocket music with my old pda, and what helped was not to let the "auto associate files types" run during the install.
New Pocketmusic for WM5 out soon!
It will be in this month.

Subject: Pocket Music for PPC WM5?
Hello,
Please could you tell me when you will be releasing an updated version of PocketMusic for Windows Mobile 5?
It doesn’t work properly on WM5 at the moment and I think your player is the best out there!
Thanks

sorry to reply to myself, but you can set imusic to be able to turn off the display, and of course you can remove hard button controls.
:? my fault for not reading instructions
Pocket Music Not Working - NOW FIXED apart from EQ Fader
I upgraded my old o2 XDA 11s FW to I-Mate latest (in sig) I have to run PocketMusic from Program Files, dosnt show up in Programs list, AND cant switch WINAMP SKINS, what ever folder I put them in PMSKINS and SKINS
which makes me very unhappy! :x
PocketMusic v3.7.1 and running SpbPocketPCPlus2.5 dont know if this conflicts ?
SOLUTION, just downloaded the 3.71 .exe from location 2, ran it, works with skins but GRAPHIC EQUALISER not holding fader positions, any ideas?
whats wrong with built in media player?
do these players play movie files too? (divx/xvid)
unless i am wrong, you can't turn the display off in the supplied media player.
if i am wrong please tell me.
Sure you can - you can assign it to a button within Windows Media Player's options.
The downside to it is that it doesn't even support soft keys! WTF?!
PocketMusic GRAPHIC EQUALISER NOT WORKING
POCKET MUSICS GRAPHIC EQUALISER is not holding fader positions,
any ideas?
Also the "SONY" graphic is messed up, on my Winamp skin Expensive hi fi 2005 (winamp.com search skins for "expensive" its realy nice!)
I'm using I-mate latest FW ROM, and downloaded Pocket Music 3.71 from "Location 2" the .exe from www.pocketmind.com
no idea from me,
seeing that i can't even use pocket music at the moment :?

Windows Media Player Today Plugin?

Are there any plugins for the today screen which allow for windows media player to be controlled - for example pause, next/previous track, volume, etc.
The closest I managed to find is Spb ToPlay, but it is kind of its own standolone music player, and doesnt actually control windows media player - you can have the plugin playing one song, and windows media player playing another.
Thanks in advance
PHM has one, but I'm not sure if it's WM5 compatible.

Try this one: Windows Media Player Quick Launch: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=111&t=205413
It works on the Universal but it is not VGA so the controller icons aren't as nice as it should be. There are other stuff in there too, but the one you are looking for is at the top of the list.

Does SPB To Play needs SPB Pocket plus to run?

Thanks, but as I said, this doesnt actually control WMP - it actually acts like its own standalone player - you can have one song playing on windows media player, and when you attempt to control it using the plugin, another song plays in the plugin - so two songs are running. Its rather inconvenient asn it just plays random songs, and you cant pick which songs you want to play!
It doesn't need spb pocket plus.

Media Player, Today Screen Plug-in

Does anyone know of a Media Player plug-in for the today screen?
Don't know of a today plugin for MS Media Player, but I know Pocketmusic has a today plugin.
Window Media today plugin
You can try this cab.
Thanks, since I'd prefer not to use MS Media Player, I will try pocketmusic out.

Which musicplayer do you use on the HD?

I am curious, which player do you use and which is the best on the HD (no D-Pad). Which player makes the HD a real competitor to the iPod Touch / iPhone (in playing music).
I Like the Pocket Player. Nice Browsing through albums, many settingoptions, nice design.
I use the HTC one, it works and sounds pretty good ..
Coreplayer .... many many threads and posts about this ....
I'm trying out Pocketmusic (seems OK so far) as I can't get the TF3D thingie to work with more than a handful of tracks loaded, and anyway it seems a bit of a toy compared to what I've used before (pTunes on PalmOS), and it doesn't support .ogg files.

Btw, do you have any idea how to setup the fading in core player? you know, fading, so that when a song terminates the next one starts with 1-2 seconds overlapping, so it doesnt have the silence break..
thanks,

Pocket Tunes is very good.
But, they don't have a WVGA skin yet. One thing that I found to be useful is the good bluetooth handling they have and the redirection of podcasts to a mono headset.
Regards, D
you also have Kinoma Play. Excellent as music player.
GSplayer old but very good
Ive been using the TF3D-player up until yesterday when i installed Coreplayer.
The sound and equalizer is much better in Coreplayer.

But i think an intuitive interface is also very important. i like the interface of S2P but the coverflow is not very smooth. Currently i am using pocket player but i hope there will be some good ipod-like-mediaplayer soon.
TF3d music tab sounds way better than Windows media player..I just got coreplayer...I may start using it if the sound quality is better.
S2P for me!
As for me, I use S2P! I've been using it since it first came out, when I was using my "old" Touch. Now i've got the latest OpenGL S2P from A-C, and love it,think its a great player, and would recommend it to anyone.
But I do understand that everyone has their personal choice,so if u're looking for a music player, try several and see what suits you best!
I'm a huge MortPlayer fan, it plays my ogg files perfectly. The new beta version is MortPlayer 3.31 b76 which comes with a skin made for the HD resolution Highly Recommended.
I use "conduits pocket player". Amongst other things, it has the features I most want from an mp3/media player. The most important features for me are; The screen turns off at a configurable time, it has a configurable sleep timer, It pauses for phone calls and resumes playing on completion. I can control the pause and rewind (volume up and volume down buttons respectively) from my pocket. I think it is a great player.
I use HTC TF3D sound...
I'm testing Pocket Player - and so far I'm liking it. I just wish the default skin was nicer. So far I haven't found any other skins that are wvga and have the functionality + large cover photo like the default skin. And I wish you could navigate in full screen mode.
I tried the iPhone looking skin found in the xda forums, but the album cover is still too small (for my taste), and that skin doesn't have the functionality of the default skin.
So far the TF3D player and Pocket Player are my favorites (I've already tried all of the other ones on the poll list above). We'll see which one I end up using more often.
I used to use S2P but am happy with the HTC one, links up with my BT headphones and sounds quite good.
No winamp on its way to WM 6.1?
I am using MortPlayer for all music playing, it even wakes me up in the morning (that was the reason I started using it back in WM5 times: it was able to "awake" my HTC Wizard, while the implemented clock was not ...)
But MortPlayer is much more than this, it is easy to listen to live audio streams, MP3, OGG files and to create playlists or run through folder collections. A great player, indeed!

TF3D - simple and good audio quality. Composing playlist is somehow difficult because you dont see the full ID3 info. Loading takes some time when you have many audiofiles and to say the truth .... i don´t have soooo many - about 1-2GB only.
All other players have one problem, i have to start them, they don´t look as cool as TF3D and aren´t so user/thumbfriendly as TF3D - except for Mortplayer carscreen.
