(2 May 2008) S2P v0.40 - Slide2Play - Reborn

Hey guys,
After the situation happened in the last thread, I'm so glad to tell you that the development is resumed. S2P now simply uses the device's built-in music decorder WMP.
What is S2P?
S2P(Slide2Play) is my third S2 series application. S2P is a stylus-free MP3/WMA player application. It simply lets you browse your music files & play.

Installation:
- Under your PC/MAC/device, extract the content of the downloaded file & copy the CAB file to your device.
- Under your device, run any File Explorer application; go to the folder where the CAB file is copied; run the CAB file.
Operations:
- Since S2P simply scans music files in your storage card, it's suggested to have your music files well organized by folders. So that you can browse your music files through the folders instead of a plain list. (e.g. \Artist Name\Album Name\Music title.mp3)
- When browsing, press the folder name to list all music files under that folder, including subfolders; or press the arrow button to list the subfolders.
- Press any one of the filename to play.
- To go back to the music file list, press the top left back button.
- To view the current album list, press the top right icon. Then press any one on the list to play that music.
- To go back to the single music view, press the top right icon again.
- On the single music view, tap the screen to call up the timeline. Press the left repeat icon to repeat the current playing album; press the right shuffle icon to play the whole music list randomly. When both icons are on, only the current album will be played randomly.
- Under the music playback screen, slide up or down the left or right side edge of the album art will change to the Album View screen in Landscape mode. To go back to the normal playback screen, slide up or down the left or right side edge of the album art.
- Under the music playback screen, double tap the album title area will change to the Album View screen in Portrait mode. To go back to the normal playback screen, double tap the album title area again.
- The hardware keys are:
ANSWER - quit
END/OK - minimize
Vol Up/Down or DPAD Up/Down - volume control
DPAD Action - play/pause
DPAD Left/Right - previous/next
Left/Right soft key - previous/next album
Power/Record - turn screen off

Special Thanks
- Forum fellows at xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com). Thank you for your testings, comments, supports & patience.

Lets try...
THANKS.
You're da man!!!

Many Thanks For Your Great Work!!

Strange....
This version doesn't open on my HTC P3600 (WM 6).
0.17 works well.
Any suggestion?
Obs: I'm using S2U 0.98.

All RIGHT! Thanks for everything you've done
EDIT: Yeah, sorry dude, but I've got the same thing happening... VZW700wx. It won't start. Just says S2P for the current open application on the taskbar
EDIT2: v.32 is working beautifully

Dont start!
Hey there!
Also does not start on my Himalaya.........
Tried soft resetting!
Thanks for your great software!

i`m squirt

A_C
A_C, you are the best programmer out there. Thanks for another good application.

Thanks for program,but and on my RoverPC (Amoi) does not start.

Wow, great release!

Damn this is some solid piece of programming, PROPS!

Suggestion
For the next version, can you make it so that you can sync your iTunes library?
Lumen was going to do that, but it looks like that project is dead. You are the fastest and best developer, any chance that that can happen soon? It would be really cool. Thanks A_C.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What devices do you guys have that is working?

works perfectly for me on my HTC mogul...
great software!

WOW!
A_C you're great...it incredible...but I Loved That full Screen album art that takes all-over the places...all the toolbars are transparent so the artwork could be seen...is it possible to view the playback-artwork that much big again?
tnx anyway...you're the man you know

M.A.S., ^^rac, xd1936 & EvgeniyKo
I need further info:
- OS version
- WMP version
- how many songs stored? where?
Try a soft-reset. If still not work, try to delete the registry tree \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\ and start S2P again.
Thanks.

won't start
per usual great work, but wont start on glofish M700 wm6.1

This program is truely awesome. Besides of the player as whole, I really like the idea of sliding up/down on the images to see the coverflow (which is working very well). I guess the iPod does not do it like this due to its gyrothingies our HTCs lack, so I thought I'd mention this and give an extra "bravo"
Everything is running pretty good on my HTC Touch Cruise.
Big thumbs up!
Thanks very very much, a donation will surely follow

It doesn't start on my I-Mate JAMA.........while the last S2P 0.17 works well
however thanks for your job, great as always!!!

A. Follow these steps:
- remove the Music tap from TouchFlo 3D with Diamond TF3D Config (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749 (thanks Sushilange);
- restart the device;
- turn on the Bluetooth & connect the BT Headset;

- start S2P & enjoy
Q. How to get the HTC Wired Remote Control works?
A. From v0.58, S2P supports this remote with limited conditions:
- either TouchFlo (Manila) 2D/3D, HTC Home or FM Radio must be turned off.
- connect the remote, run S2PCHR.exe.
- select MENU -> Calibrate...; press the PLAY button on the remote; message "Calibration done!" comes out; QUIT.
- remember to run this calibration once after each soft-reset.
- enjoy!
Q. Does S2P support playlist?
A. No, not yet.
Q. The system icons on the top bar do not update?!
A. Yes, they only show the start status. But the battery level icon is up-to-date. However, they will all be live if S2U2 v1.00 is already running in the background.
Q. How to make S2P runs faster?
A. Some tips:
- organize the mp3 files in folders
- keep the mp3 files small (<= 256kbps)
- don't use embedded album art
- keep album art small (<= 200 square pixels)
- let S2P goes through every album for creating some cached files for later better performance
- set AlwaysLoadEmbedAlbumPic to 0
- set FastAlbumPic to 1
- set FullScreenAlbum to 0

A. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2306639&postcount=1248
Q. Why S2U2, S2V & S2P are all free?
A. Because MS has left them in the factory.

reserved for another readme...

Sweet... I love this player... Thanks A_C...

A_C!
Thank you!!! I have been waiting for this tooo long!!!
God blesses you!!!
3q3q.

Thanks for your continued efforts. This is without doubt the player of choice for the TyTnII. I've donated and hope you keep up the good work
- the Album View now can flow. (since this view is very CPU intensive, it may be sluggish on your device)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
One Question : How do we enable album art scrolling ? I know how to do the rotate and coverflow mode, but is there a new flow on the main screen ?
Edit. I posted this while you were posting the readme. Ooops. Dbl tap the title if you can't figure it out.

Thanks a lot for new release test it now

when i pressed power off button, will the music stop playing?

AWESOME!!!! I was very happy to see this thread. D/Ling now. Thanks so much.

No.

I can see album art in the main interface.
However, Album View works both in Portrait & Landscape mode.
Have try SR after installation.
Any ideas????

Hmm... for some reason it's sluggish on my polaris...
as you said.
what to do.

I found that AlwaysLoadEmbedPic default value is actually 1 not 0.
Changing it back to 0 improved speeds a bit and solved some problems with covers not showing in normal view.
As expected album view is sluggish on my Hermes/8525, but it's still usable. If you want speed, just pause while you are using album view. And I also find that using portrait is faster than landscape. Just some suggestions.

Thank you soooo much for your hardwork...
This version is amazing the album view in both portrait and landscape is working FLOW-lessly...
Once again thanks...

Hi A_C, thanks for the update !!
I never care about album art before, but now I tried . However, they don't show up, I don't know why. In the registry, options for cover are all set to "1". These covers are .jpg with correct name (cover, album etc).
You said in the FAQ that they have to be created by WMP, is it a restriction, meaning that if you download a pic from internet, and use it as a cover.jpg, it can't work ?
EDIT: I realised that double tapping ont the name of the song/album bring up the cover in a full screen mode, it works . But is there a way to get the cover also in "nomral mode", where there is the "music note" by default?

Strike,
arrive at work and what will i see?
A new version of S2P, now this will become a great day.
Thanks man

2 seconds delay
I love the program, but took 2 seconds to skip to the next song.
It is a keeper though.
Thanks very much.
ps. Just checked with post #17..most of my mp3 are embedded with album art, therefore, that is why it is kinda slow.

- Refreshes icons on track change
- Display current album or artist
- Display current title
- Display current albumart
- Play/Pause, Volume up, Volume down, Next, Previous, Maximise S2P (Mute, Exit only on 8 icon setting)
- Energy saving option for stopping the script once the phone gets locked by S2U2
- revert to your original icons once S2P exits
- crops Artist/Album/Title if it is to long to be displayed by iPhonetoday
- If no titles are loaded into S2P it will show a reminder and maximize S2P
- creates a backup.xml on first run
Requirements:
- Mortscript
- S2P
- iPhonetoday
Installation:
- extract S2PC.zip
- edit the s2pc.ini to your desired settings
- copy the extracted content into \iPhonetoday\

- 0.6.1
-Initial release
Known Bugs:
- Sometimes the icon refreshing is slow (no solution on my side, sorry has to be done in iPhonetoday -> Refreshing icons from external exe)
- When using S2U2 to control your volume and/or to answer calls(when not locked). The script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when receiving a call and/or changing volume with s2u2.
I will try to convince A_C to add a "Device is locked" Registry value. If not I don´t see a solution for this other than not using s2u2 for calls/volume.
Last but not least
I used some programms from different sources i would like to thank
No Plugins Today
Mortscript
thebond for his volume control scripts.

The s2pc.ini:
s2ppath=\Program Files\s2p\
Here you specify the folder where S2P is installed (mind the slashes).
s2pproblem=No music files are loaded into S2P. Please load music files and start playback.
Here you can edit the message that is displayed when no files are loaded into S2P.
s2pabort=Aborting S2PC
Here you can edit the message that is displayed when S2P aborts.
albumorartist=
Here you specify if album or artist shold be shown in the first row.
1 for album
0 for artist
pageselect=0
Here you specify on which page the controls sould be displayed (0 for the first page and so on) If the selected page doesn´t exist it will be displayed on the last page.
energysave=1
If this is set to 1 the script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when S2U2 locks the device.
!There is a bug in this function. When using S2U2 to control your volume and/or to answer calls(when not locked). The script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when receiving a call and/or changing volume with s2u2.

resumeafterunlock=1
If this is set to 1 and energysave is allso set to 1 the script will rerun on unlocking but only if the script already ran at locking
eighticons=0
If this is set to 1 8 Icons are displayed instead of 6

Click to expand...

As you can see the icon updating process takes pretty long so updating every minute would render iPhonetoday nearly unusable.
Maybe when another refresh option is there I will try to make a digital clock for the first row.

ya it take a bit more time... but tuning it would do better
digital clock would be great help to all...

music tab - landscape autoration off??

i found that autoration in my hd mini is off by default..
in the music tab i can get all the options if i can t use it in landscape!
after hours of research i found in the registry that the key "fullscreenmode" (or something like) is OFF by default.
trying to enabling this manually (by adding some other registry key for the g-sensor) causes problems: i don't know the audiomanager class name so i can't configure correctly
i got the latest ORIGINAL ROM.
What to do?
AND after that a question... is the manila music player usable with a big library?
In portrait mode, opening "catalogue" i found NO WAY to listen an entire album !!
thx

Hi there,
unfortunatelly the Sense (Manila?) Music-Player isn't very functional - I would say it's almost unusable because of the following restrictions:
- There is no search-function.
- You can't even fastscroll through tracks if you search for a special track because you can't drag the tiny slider which is on the right side. Even my old N97 mini let me fastscroll through my music-library (the N97 also showed the letters while dragging the fastscroll-slider). As I know - the HD 2 has this slider - but only in landscape-mode which isn't available on the HD Mini.
- After selecting and playing a track from the library (in which you have to manually select which can be a pain if the track begins with "Z" and you have over 2000 tracks - due to the lack of a fastscroll / search option) you have to manually select further tracks again because after returning from the Music-Player to the library - the library shows the first track in the alphabet and not the last played.
- Shuffle mode isn't saved - after turning off and turning on the phone you have to manually disable shuffle and enable it (the shuffle icon is there but shuffle isn't enabled) to get it working again.
- Sometimes (6-8 min after the screen went black) the player interrupts playback 3-5 sec and continues after this time. I think this has something to do with the energy-saving methods of the HD mini. This behaviour occurs only once after the screen has gone off - when you unlock the phone to select another track for example the behaviour re-occurs again after the screen has gone off.
Greetings
Timo

thx for the fast reply
i think the method of use of the cover flow is to browse and play an album or a track, or play shuffle the whole library.
So for me doesn't matter the search function...
but.. why i can't get it to work in landscape mode?!
