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?

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!

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.

Listen to music with the sreen turned off?

Hi, I just bought a HTC P3600 (S300+) everything works fine so far. My question is: can it be possible to turn off the screen while windows media player is playing some mp3s, I’m kind of new with this device, I looked on the wmp options and at the system setting but I didn’t find anything, i thing it’s useless to have the screen turned on using the battery if you are listen some music and the device is in your pocket!
Cheers!

Just try another program like Mortplayer or GsPlayer. They all seem to support this feature...

You could use Xbar and assign turn off screen to a button.

Great WMP tip!
Not many keys are available to be assigned (beside directional pad) but I just figured out I could use "HOLD down" and "HOLD up" as key assignments.
Maybe Im the only one to miss that !?

Yes! Thanks for your answers, i did the "hold down" tip, is great!
i also tryed the GsPlayer and Mortplayer, they work fine, the probleme is that i sync my music with wmp on my pc and all music is reencoded in .wma (it's not so bad i can save place when my mp3 are supirior to 160kbps) maby i try another way to sync so i can use GsPlayer cz it look fine.
well, thx again!

I use VJEschaton screenoff / screentoggle to switch off my screen when listening to Carla Bruni

Bluetooth control and Conduits PocketPlayer on HD2

If you want a good sound quality with equalizers and lesson to music on your stereo Bluetooth headset, you can't rely on windows media player or HTC audiomanager. So far I tried all of the music player software on my HD2 but I wasn't satisfied with any of them. Previously I used the PocketPlayer 4.1 on my HD and that was really amazing, but when I changed my PDA to HD2, I really disappointed because I couldn’t control the playback with my Bluetooth headset. As you know the Option menu of pocketplayer cannot changed on winmo 6.5; therefore, if you want to change the setting, you must do it through the registry.
If you want to use this software as your music player and control it via your Bluetooth headset you can follow these steps:
1- Disable the HTC audiomanager (disable the music tab on manilla).
2- Install PocketPlayer 4.1.
3- Execute the application and go to Menu->More->Options and select the Plugins tab.
4- Touch "Update now" link and install the Conduits WM Adapter (your phone must be connected to the Internet).
5- Exit the software through the Menu (Not the X button) after the plugin is installed.
6- Go to registry HKCU->Software->Conduits->Pocket Player->Plugins->gen_wmhostand and change the entry {B71FB....} from 0 to 1.
7- Save the changes and soft reset.
That’s all. Please note that if you open the windows media player, it override the Bluetooth control. So, to use this tweak you must not run the media player.
I've been using the PocketPlayer since yesterday and the sound quality and volume is much better than the media player and audiomanager. Also, it is pretty satisfiable than my previous HD.

of course you can change the options of conduits pocket player on winmo 6.5.
Just go to the options tab, double-tap the option you want to change, open the keyboard and tap on ENTER.

Sorry my bad. I didn't know that.Thanks for the tip.

Just installed CPP 4 and it literally slowed my device to a snails place; had to reset (which took a couple of minutes to enable!)

I am considering buying HD2 and use Pocket Player everyday.
I would be grateful if people can answer a few questions:
- The method provided above (using the keyboard to access menus) work for any menu function? Including Options?
- If so, were you able to assign buttons for functions? I use a lot "back 10 seconds" and "play/pause" and would like to assign them for the "arrow" button or "windows" button (as ther is no media button on the device). Is this possible?
- considering slowing down the device, is it everyone's experience? Did you try installing to SD card (worked with me on Kaiser, despite some random slow downs)?
Thanks so much.
