[Suggestion] Today Plugin with Album Art - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

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.

WMP skin problem

Whenever I use a Windows Media player Skin other than the default one, I am faced with the Skin section in the options screen whenever I open Windows media player and whenever I begin playing any media. This is rather annoyinh - as I have to keep closing these options screen.
Is there a way to fix this?
Also, what is the ideal resolution of Album Art for WMP in VGA?
Thanks alot
I'd like to know how to fix this too, I have a nice little wm11 skin, which matches my vista mobile them.
also on album art, how the hell can u get wmp to show this content?

To show album art, just place the album image in the same folder as the song(s) you wish it to be album art for and call it "Folder.jpg".

Lovely! Just installed and it works great. Only problem is that it won't launch the music player as it can't find the file "AudioManager". I suppose that's the HTC audio player included in WM6. It would be nice if someone changed the WM5 version of this plugin so that it started the Windows Media Player...
Or is there a way to install the AudioManager in WM5?
Thanks staff, succeeded.

Media Panel broken?

Well my media panel used to work fine. I could play music and watch the video clips that came with it. Now when I try to play music or watch videos the screen goes black like it's gonna start, then it just jumps back to the menu like nothing ever happened.
I think it's CorePlayer that's messing it up... must be something with the file extensions but I turned them all off and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Well I guess I'll just hard reset and check the media panel after I install anything
I have the same problem. I always have Core Player installed. I just removed the media panel thinking it was sh*te
Same on my Xperia I think it was after i installed the Manila HD or the youtube cab.
I tried it with Uninstall the Manila HD but nothing happend.
i hope somebody will find a fix for the media panel, i really like it
PS: sorry for my bad english

have you install youtube by any chance recently?
it'll break the media panel, as well as the camera playback function.
if so, you may have to hard-reset, and install this version of youtube instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446692
that's until itje or daran release a fix on their respective CAB ...
tried your CAB but the mediapanel is still not working on my device

unfortuantely, you need to hard reset in order for the CAB to work.
alternatively, if you do not wish to hard reset, change this registry to see if it'll help (this is the problematic registry, but this wouldn't undo the system files that are overwritten)
HKCU\CLSID\{C4EF1AB7-F52D-4e83-8C74-0C512FB7EA43}\InprocServer32
make sure Default=HTCSrcFlt3.dll (not HTCSrcFlt2.dll)
okay what is the right order if i hard reset my device ?
i used this cab for the Manila HD
and this for installing the Manila Panel.
PS: youtube doesn't work on my X1 (a german one )
and thanks zenkinz for your fast reply

somebody has reported that the manila cab with the built-in youtube will not break 3gp/mp4 playback, are you not experiencing the same?
my CAB is tested with TF3DHD by Daran, and you can install my Youtube CAB, TF3DHD and TF3D Panel CAB in any order. You don't need to install any other CAB such as Dshow or mHubVO, and in fact, I've not tested if these other CABs (other than TF3DHD and Panel) will break the CAB that I have put together.
PS: I hardcode the installed files to \Windows directory, if your German ROM uses a different Windows directory name, I need to change.
OMG sorry for the trouble i testet another mp3 file (the standart one) and it worked.
but i dont understand this my music worked a few day ago andnow they wont work
well sorry for that
same problems to me, too.
most time the x1 player will not start selected mp3.
it jumps back to track selection. but once, the player played a few pieces of songs.
i will check the reg hint, today.
This works!!

This registry fix does in fact work. I applied it and both the native video camera player and the multimedia panel player worked. YouTube in the TF3D panel continued to work too.
Great job! Thanks!!!

Just curious... how do you get album art to appear in the multimedia panel for playing mp3's? I loaded the album art in iTunes and Winamp, both don't seem to work. Although when I play the songs in coreplayer, the album art comes up...

I added the album art with mp3tag.
I used ID3 v2.3. I tried to use ID3 v2.4 but there are no album covers on the media panel so i returned to ID3 v2.3.
You can easy change that in options of mp3tag
ok guys
Instead of starting a new thread I'll post a comment here....
My problem is not a broken emdiapanel but a missing media panel.
I got a prototype from work(SonyEricsson) and it's one of the earlier prototypes and I'm missing a media panel on it. I tried to copy the media panel from the "program files" folder in a another Xperia phone, put that didn't work ofcourse....
So I'm wondering if there's a way to Impliment that panel???
I'm probably the only one with this problem but I'd appreciate help though
THANKS

see if it works if you create the following registry
hklm\software\sonyericsson\panelmanager\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel
Desc="The Media Xperience Panel"
DLL="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\MxPPanel.dll"
Landscape="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Landscape_Thumb.bmp"
LargeLandscape="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Landscape.bmp"
LargePortrait="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Portrait.bmp"
Led=0
Name="Media Xperience Panel"
Portrait="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Portrait_Thumb.bmp"
RequiredVersion=100
I'll just post my problem here aswell then;
When I try to view a video trough the media panel, media player or the camera application it just gives me a lot of loud static sounds and a black screen.
When trying to use youtube it loads the name of the movies but when I click them it says "Error: Cannot play this video".
I think, judging from what others have said, that the TF3D cab is causing this problem. I still got the "old" one but I wouldnt understand why installing the new one would solve my problem (if it does; please let me know and I'll try it, just dont want to do anything reckless atm).
There's been some suggestions in this topic for registry fixes, would those work for me aswell? Also, I dont even know how to alter the registry in the first place..

PocketMusic

Hi,
is there any change to display covers with PocketMusic from PocketMind ?
The sound is better than WMP but the WMP displays the cover..... i´m looking for an all around solution.
Try S2P which is free. AC - Home of S2U2 and S2P. Fullscreen Covers.
and install the Touch HD Audiomanager and setup the EQ as you like.
Thanks a lot i have already S2P installed and with the audio manager the prog is perfect

If you can't find the audiobooster shortcut it's located in the windows folder, just copy to windows/start-menu/programs and it should appear as supposed to.
