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

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..

Windows Media Player Problem

hi, is it possible that windows media player work in the background all the time and not come to front??, (From file explorer if we click on any media file windows media player will popup in the front. I want it to work in background even if I click a media file from the explorer.) is it possible please advice.
sorry for bad English.

So, No body here to help me ??

MOre developers here who I think can help me but nobody is free at the moment.

I don't know if it's possible to have MP start directly in background when clicking on a media file, but I know that once it has started, you can let it run in the background and do whatever you want with your PPC.

That I know but when it will be running in background, if I will click on a new media file from Explorer it will again come in front. I want to stop this thing. is there anyone who can help me ?

i dont think we have the stand-alone music player of TouchFlo3D. i was wondering the same thing and could not find the cab file to separately install the music player. sorry mate.

I can find the .exe to run the photo/video software but not the music player.

Subscription Music

I posted over at PPCGeeks but haven't had any hits yet. I am on the latest Juicy8 ROM for my TP and Love it! However, I have lost the ability to sync my subscription music from Napster. The device doesn't even show up in the Napster software when connected to Activesync. I have searched everywhere but have found no solution. All other functions seem to be fine. It will show up in Windows Media Player and will sync non-DRM music just fine. Do any Chefs or devs out there have any ideas?
I am a paying Napster to Go subscriber so, I'm not trying to do anything illegal just want to be able to sync my subscription music.
Thanks in advance!!

The only media players that ive seen that can synchronise with WM6 Devices are Windows Media Player, Winamp and Songbird.. if you really want to sync music to your device easily then stick to Windows Media Player or Songbird.

I can sync with Windows Media Player, just not DRM'd tracks from Napster or any other DRM'd files. It was all working very well under WM6.5 on Juicy7 ROM. Thats why I believe it's something in the DRM. I have never heard of Songbird but I see that it supports WMDRM so, I'll give it a try and report back.
Edit: Can't sync with Songbird. Doesn't recognize the device. I wonder if it could be a MTP issue? Might be unlikely though because windows media player sees the device just fine.

FWIW I can sync my DRM'd subscription zune music to my Omnia using Windows Media Player. Not sure what type of DRM Napster uses, but I thought WM5/6 devices were "Play4Sure" compliant....

They are. I was able to sync with windows media player on all of the earlier (prior to Juicy8) builds and on pretty much every other ROM I have tried. But Juicy8 is so darn goood I cant bring myself to part ways with it. Now it's like a quest or sommething, to resolve the issue. Are you GSM or CDMA?

CDMA -Verizon Wireless Omnia i910. There a couple quirks, like if I sync an album to the phone, then flash a new ROM, it won't play. I can't just re-sync, I get this "no sync rights" error in Windows Media Player. To get around this, I have to delete the album from the library on the PC and re-download it from Zune to sync it again.

For that issue, have you tried deleting the WMDRM folder on your storage card or wherever you store your music? When I could connect after a flash I would delete that folder and then remove the sync relationship in Windows Media Player. Create a new sync partnership in WMP and then re-sync. WMP should re-download your Sync rights. At least that would work on the Touch Pro and Napster.
Other files you may need to delete: (they will be recreated upon sync)
Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
Storage Card\MSMETADATA\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
As always YMMV...

I've just tried dumping a stock diamond rom and then re-cooking it unchanged using ervius' latest kitchen (as I was planing to slowly upgrade the SYS/XIP and packages to try and see when it stopped working) and it doesn't work straight away.
Interestingly it looks like the Juicy 8 roms are also built using a PlatformRebuilder based kitchen.

I sent a PM to Bepe and am waiting for a reply. I was reading his thread and there was talk about just leaving out some files "not needed" to run a ROM. I wonder if there is something needed that just got "left out"?

[APP] Looking for touchflo3d like music player

I'be finally gone and left touchflo3d behind. All the new roms were too slow, had too many bugs, I now have a nice clean 6.5.1 rom and the only shell running on top is SPB mobile shell 3.5.
I like it a lot, there's only one thing I miss, and that's the touchflo music player.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any stand alone player like it.
I don't like the way windows mobile media plyaer works, I've tried coreplayer, and kinoma play, and I just want a simple player, with easy access to my music, and more importantly an easy way to construct new playlists on my phone.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

The only player which looks a bit at that tf3d player I know off, is WM integrated in Titanium. If you don't like that option, you might want to check if there's a player which integrates in spb shell.

Well media player sorta intergrates with the shell, but like I said, I don't care much for how that works...
I allready have the version of meida player with the new skin, but it's still media player, it's a ***** to create playlists on your device with that.
Thanx for the reply!

why don't you try S2P by A_C ................ that 's pretty nice player .
