I've seen a thread (over here) that describes an app someone wrote to make the AVRCP commands of a bluetooth A2DP stereo headset control GSPlayer instead of Windows Media Player.
This got me thinking... Is there a way we can create customized commands for the AVCRP controls to do whatever we want?
I could think of a few things I'd like them to do rather than just pause/play rr/ff in WMP!
For starters, I'd like them to signal TCPMP instead, followed by a togglescreen command. Or perhaps have shortcuts... the play/pause button could start TomTom, or toggle the phone in/out of silent... I think this could be a very useful tool!
How difficult is this to do?

I installed MortPlayer on Trinity. The sound is much better than WMedia Player(MP has equalizer ), the screen turns completely off D ), the player is free... BUT I can only control volume from my Plantronics 590A buttons.
Do you know if there is any way to map the headset buttons to the player? In WMP I could use the headset buttons to play/pause, skip track and adjust volume.

Not the answer you are looking for but FYI you can turn the screen off with WMP too: you just need to map the "screen off" command to a hardware button.
Where do I find this 'screen off' command? It's not in the list of actions that I can map to a button. Did you map it on a Trinity?

Very good tip! Thanks!
PS: perhaps you can also tell me where the WMP equaliser is? That would be a nice suprise too.

1. there is no equalizer in WMP (see my latest article on Windows Mobile media players, also posted to the General forum in here)
2. Are you using the LATEST (last september) version of MP? It's only in it that AVRCP has been implemented. Earlier versions don't support AVRCP at all, as has also been pointed out in my AVRCP-related articles (General forum)
3. if you still can't make it work, some other alternate players do support AVRCP and have built-in equalizer. (see my Media Player roundups / articles.)
I like to listen music by CorePlayer and a bluetooth headphone, but I cannot control CorePlayer by using AVRCP, every time when I push the "Next" or "Previous" button on headphone, it will control the TF3D Music Player automatically, I can only use to turn volume up and down with CorePlayer.
How can I enable it or how to disable AVRCP by default using TF3D Music Player ?
Search the forum. There's another very recent thread on this.

AVRCP works for coreplayer just turning coreplayer parameter on: Windows Media Player Mobile A2DP Plugin
Hi there,
does anyone know which program catches the events of clicking once or long for redial at a bluetooth headset or the headset delivered with the HTC Backstone?
What I'd like to achieve is a program that catches these events and redirects them if necessary. On the other hand the program should be able to catch new events.
For example a double-click. This event should then be routed to the media player and switch to the next track.
Is there already a solution available for this. If not I'll develop one - but the first thing to start with is to get the events.
Thx in Advance
Steve
I don't know if it helps, but I have a Sonyericsson K800i, and it has inbuild bluetooth remote control, I think it's because of the AVRCP profile tha the HD has, that can control the HD. I was able to control my HD, simulating the d-pad for example.
AE Button Plus ?
I tried to use this software but it's not able to capture the button press of my Headset.
Any other ideas?
So...
WMP sucks... its slow to switch songs... tough to create playlists and freezes up my Ozone whenever I am listening to music and get a txt/email.
However one thing it does do is allow me to use the song select buttons on my stereo bluetooth headset.
What I am looking for is an alternative to WMP that allows the use of those buttons.
I really like Pocket Tunes - clean interface, easy to use... wicked fast song switching but it doesnt recognize the buttons on the Headset.
I havent been able to get Core Player to work on it... keeps giving errors.
Any suggestions or rec's would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Try Kinoma Play.
i think either vlc or mplayer also has a windows mobile (though it may be in beta)

Pocket Player will use the buttons on the headset, but you MUST go into comm manager and set your bluetooth to stereo and hands free each time prior to using Pocket Player. This happens with some headsets for some reason.
My Jabra BT8010 set works fine without having to go into comm man each time, but my old Motorola set did not.
I 2nd Kinoma Play. Easy UI, good features, smooth operation.

coreplayer make a problem with my A2DP bluetooth headset..
controlling wmp while locked or in another app
I am a newbie coming from blackberry & i have a question. On the bberry, if the phone is locked u can still control the music player by using the volume up/down keys to change volume & change tracks. You can also control the volume & change tracks when not even in the media player screen...for example if i switch over to look at my email....is there a modification that will make this possible on a wm6x phone?
Core player, TCPMP, or HTC Audio manager are good. I made a Titanium HTC Audio Manager panel for my latest ROM. You have to enable it in CHome Config.
Will the voice recognition software work with other players?

I own a Venturi Mini, which is a in-car FM Transmitter/Bluetooth unit. As well as being a hands-free kit it also connects as a bluetooth stero headset to my HD and transmits the music via FM to my stereo. It's a lovely piece of kit.
On the unit, as well as being able to dial and hangup there are play, pause, stop, fast forward & rewind controls. These used to operate the music player in Manilla.
I have recently flashed to one of the Stonehenge roms, but now the controls on the venturi connect to Media Player. If I am alreasy playing music through the unit from manilla and then press, for example, fast forward, the manilla player stops and media player opens on it's library plage.
This is annoying. The manilla player is nice and finger friendly as well as having simple visuals. This is great for driving.
Does anybody know if there are any windows settings or registry values I can change to determine which music player an external bluetooth headset controls. I don't mind if I ended up with it fixed to the manilla player or to whichever player is in focus.
Thank you in advance.
Once I wrote the above message I saw a couple of approriate keywords in the list at the bottom which helped me make my searches more appropriate.
Below are a few threads relating to this issue. It appears to be between the bluetooth driver and WM6.5
I can't yet post links so look for the following threads:
