HTC Audio manager is in the WM6 Rom. I also read somewhere that Jetcet Print is not on WM6. I definately have it on mine too.

Coooooool!
VERY nice. Exactly what i was dreaming. Thanks!
You guys at XDA rules!

nice upload. htc home also has a music plugin but this is nice for the new one where if u add the 6th tab the music plugin looks horrible.

the ui is very good but you cant turn off the display - resulting in poor battery life and annoying button presses

[Suggestion] Today Plugin with Album Art

Would this be possible?
Lacking talents in programming I'm unfortunately not able to even try this but
it would be cool to have a music today plugin with album art, kinda like the
attached picture...with the addition of Play, Pause, Next and Previous...
About 150-200 in height...
//Nik

i would liek to see also...Cause if you use UL there is NO good todayplugin to control music!!!

Try the XIA theme
In the latest XIA Diamond multi theme, there is a mort-script based music plugin that works with S2P. It's not the greatest, but it does work with Wisbar Desktop (2) and should work with UL.

S2P basicly works with WMP anyway.
Uses Core files to decode.
S2P homescreen Plugin would kick as any Home plugin only showing the Album Art.
Come on A_C you can do it.

something like that...now it needs some fixing
and maybe a row for songname
​

Did someone try to edit this simple HTC audio today plugin because it has xml configuration file so perhaps you can increase size a little and modify image ?

Well almost all the plugin that actually exist does`t show album cover, the one I know is V2R mediaplayer plugin that shows album cover but the size of the art is too small in my opinion and isn´t freeware.
If you want a plugin that shows albumart, for now, you must to use another program for that.
If you decide for V2R, exist a trial version that works fine for undeterminated time, if dont like its graphic with "free version" embedded send me a PM to tell you how I changed.

Actually, V2R is not a half bad program. I agree though that the album art is really small (and I do mean small), but I think it is the closest thing that we will find to cover flow as a Today Plugin (at least until S2P can support it ). the other interesting thing is that even though it isn't freeware, I believe that it is shareware, just a few features disabled.

But remember... V2R supports only Windows Media Player... and I for one won't use it...

There should be a way to mod/hack it so that it will take a different player such as TCPMP or S2P.

shoutcast & Opera - easy streaming possible?

hi, i am currently looking for an easy and quick solution to make shoutcast in Opera allow to 'click and stream'. bsidds the apps shipped with the device I have MortPlayer installed. i have not yet the flah plugin. does it work? which version?
How could i set up Opera to start MortPlayer when I click on a stream?
cheers, Eriol

Anybody? Am I missing a thread here?
Cheers,
Eriol

I use a site by jamespaulritter at this link:
http://mobile.treobits.com/index.php?ind=shoutcast
I haven't tried it through Opera, but I can confirm it works through Internet Explorer. Just click Tune In, and it will launch whatever you have .pls files assigned to. (In my case, it launches Core Player and starts streaming the music.)

Pb comes from "default.pls" wich is donwloaded for the streaming. This file is saved as "default". So ... impossible to lunch the a player !
Hope this help anyone that comes thereabouts

BBC iPlayer Mobile - For WiFi enabled devices only

Hi all
I hope all you Brits out there are enjoying the snow. My office is closed today so I thought I'd share my experience of using the BBC iPlayer. I believe it can work for you too, if you're UK based. N.B. at the moment it only works over WiFi. Don't blame me for that, it's the BBC's restriction on their website. Also, this worked on my Kaiser, so again no guarantees it'll work on other devices, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.
Here's what I did:
Install the Opera 9.5.15529 cab that are attached to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475986
You will also need HTC Streaming Media. I've attached a version available on this forum. I don't actually know whether this will work on your device as I have the sreaming media cooked into my ROM (see below). Obviously if you have a VGA device you should use the equivelant version of Opera for VGA devices.
There are two other files attached. ASPlayer.exe and ASPlayerLNK.lnk. ASPLayer.exe is infact VJBrisk.exe renamed from an installation of VJBrisk by Vijay555 and a renamed link to the sreaming media player application. If you are installing the Media Player app attached then you need to check the shortcut to ensure it's correct. The one attached is for the executible in the windows folder (\Windows\StreamingPlayer.exe). You can edit shortcuts on your device using TotalCommander.
Once you're happy that the link is correct, copy ASPlayer.exe and ASPlayerLNK.lnk to the \Windows directory of your device.
In Opera type: opera:config in the address bar. Scroll down to User Prefs and open this section. Go to Custom User-Agent. Here type "sgh-i900" without the quotes and then scroll down and select save. Exit Opera and restart it. Go to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer
in Opera and you will see the mobile iPlayer page load up. Select your chosen TV or Radio programme and click to play. The streaming app should now open and display your programme.
Hope this helps. I watched "Who do you think you are?" with Rory Bremner in bed this morning!
Best wishes
andrew-in-woking

Thank you for this tut, I have followed your instructions and all seem to be ok (I didn't watch a video but the streaming media did kick in when i clicked play.
I will test later and get back to you

I got as far as the file being played. Audio is fine, but no picture.
Any Ideas?
Tried this on a touch and a hermes

Hi,
Would I be able to listen to BBC Radio 5 on this on SE-Xperia?
Thanks

Hi
If the HTC Streaming Media doesn't work on the Xperia then you will need equivelant software. You could try the media player attached if nothing else works. Real player might work also. Obviously you'd need to manually edit the shortcut in this case but hopefully you can get it working.

Hi
Yes, this is the way the website behaves. Obviously the BBC believe that this is necessary at the moment as they'd rather no compromise on quality.
I guess for now this is not available for phones with no wifi connection. I'll change the first post to make this clearer.
Many thanks
andrew-in-woking

Your post is it VGA or QVGA as sounds great

Almost there!
Thanks for your post, I'm using a Hermes wm6 with your htc streaming media installed. It opens up streaming media ok but then has an unknown error message (both for tv and radio). Could be running low on ram causing the problem. Also tried Skyfire but it doesn't like the IP address and doesn't recognise me as British. I am not giving up just yet though!
Just tried on a Touch... sound only however nothing at all on live streams (memory not an issue here, my ten year olds xmas pressie!)

QVGA

Hi wapvirus
It's QVGA but should work with a VGA device as long as the correct streaming media player is installed and can be linked to the ASPlayer.exe shortcut in \Windows.
Hope that helps. Love your QVGA colour task bar items by the way!
Cheers

i got 'unknown error' for the htc streaming media player on my lg ks20. Any ideas? how do i link it to the ASPlayer.exe?

Help me plz
Still tryin on my hermes, the best player to date was a dopod version (works perfectly.... but no video!!! Sounds great). After a little search I stumble on an updated tcpmp player which should play the files ok BUT how do I change the ASPlayer to use this as default, or do I change one of the Streaming Media files to use tcpmp ? It will not let me change the aslink.ink page and I presume we leave the opera setting on sgh-i900. I think I have at least 10 different media and streaming players now installed & have become very confused...

shame this cant be make into apanel for the x1 like they have done with youtube

Hi redflag
The simple answer is that you need to edit the destination of the shortcut: ASPlayerLNK.lnk which you copy into windows along with ASPlayer.exe. This link can be edited with the file editor in Total Commander PPC. Hope that helps. If you're unsure about shortcut editing do a search for it on this forum.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking

Success... kind of
Thanks for your reply, have taken a flood day off work! Total Commander is not letting me save the edited LNK.Ink file so I went back and had another go at Skyfire and have got it working on both my hermes and on a touch. The only disappointment is that ,whilst Skyfire uses the main iplayer site which allows downloads, it doesn't feature live tv which yours does by using the mobile site. Keep up the good work!

Had problems getting video to work but when I used this version of the HTC Streaming Player it all worked fine!

media file not supported?
thanks andrew-in-working
so i followed you instructions...opera installed, streaming media, changed user pref. All goes very well from iplayer in opera, link to streaming media and then... streaming media opens, a black screen and 0% buffering message appears, it hangs for a while and tells me this:
"media file not supported"
any idea why it should state this? odd that it is not recognising a file type?
any help would be appreciated..
