How to use (back,play,fwd) button in HTC Audio Manager on HTC Home plugin?

Hi, I have HTC Home6 plugin, along with HTC audio manager 1.02 installed.
However, the button on home plugin (back,play,fwd) does not work.
I have to actually open htc audio manager in order to play the songs. Did I miss something?
Also, can HTC audio manager sorts songlist by title?
or display chinese/japanese fonts in playlist?

When you use the tab to open your player - what player does it open?
If it opens WMP (which mine did by default) you need to edit the registry and change WMP to Audio manager. Wait a bit, turn the pda off the soft reset.
*I think* it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Music Plug-in\ and there is a value in there which needs to be changed from 1 to 2.
Values:
1 = WMP
2 = Audio Manager

Yes, but he means the buttons on the HTC Home player do not work, which is true.
I found you need to actually open the HTC player, start playing a song or playlist, THEN minimise (while its still playing) it and you can control it from the HTC Home plugin.

How can i edit registry? Do i need to type regedit somewhere like in windows?

You need to install a registry editor. PHM Registry Editor is a very popular one and is free.

As I said above, changing that registry entry will only change the default media player. It WONT solve your problem.

well i think this is no problem, but the plugin is created to work like that, you have to launch the player then press ok button(the hardware one) to minimize and then control it trough the plugin. The same thing is with WMP today plugin, the plugin does not play the music, it launches WMP

Just think about it briefly. How can Audiomanager / WMP play any song if isn't running? That is a bit weird idea.

Same here xplode. Otherwise how else would you choose what music to start playing?
I only said what I said as I know that the control don't work for me IF I use WMP. If I use the audio manager the controls are fine once I've set it playing.

I think you need to re-read my post...this DOES work...you start the media player then MINIMISE it (not close it) and the plugin controls will be working...So I think you may need to think about it briefly...

I have the problem to
If i click on launch music wmp starts. but if wmp plays a song and i minimize wmp the plugin control doesnt work no title song or play or pauze.

You need to re-assign the HTC music player to HTC Audio manager for the buttons to work.
There's a HTC Home customizer floating around somewhere in the forum.

Sorry. I haven't noticed I quoted wrong post. It was a reaction to the first one.

Hi biohead. Do you know the registry setting where I can change the default message application when i click on the message on the HTC Home. If I click on the envelope it points me to the MMS application instead of the outlook mail. Please help.

Another reason
I known the reason why my device stopped all and no sound when using audio manager 1.02. Audio manager does not support 4GB SD card (Trancend economy). When I exchange it with my friend (his device uses 1GB SD card), the problem does not happen. Otherwise he use my SD card, he got the same problem as I did.
Hope, this post would be helpful for someone. Thanks

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 ...

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.

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

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..

Loading Music Files

Hi all,
This may be a dumb question but as a "newbe" to he HD can someone tell me the correct method and or directory structure required when copying music files to the storage card? I tried puting them in Music/"album name"/ but my HD did not find them. I followed the manual and used actisync and WM11 but it still did not work. Have done a hard reset as after trying these two methods the original two songs did not show either. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to add the Music Tracks to the Windows Media Library - once you've copied the files across onto the Memory Card (it really doesn't matter on the Directory Structure) go into Windows Media - it normally takes you straight to the Library - then from the Menu select "Update Library ..." and wait a while.

Many thanks
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the quick response, I new it had to be something simple.

Adding Music to TF3D music player.
Hi there,
I was struggeling with the same thing.
Remove; Application Data\HTC\HTC Album\AudioManager_Eng\'Audiomanager_Eng.vol' and softreset.
If you can't remove this file softreset first and try again.
After the file is removed and a softreset is done TF3D will add your music automatically to the library when you scroll to the today music player.

It is music/artist/album.
You might want to get a small piece of software on your PC to check the music ID tags. I had alot of problems to start with and found that deleting the album no and comments gave no problems.
You dont have to use active sync through WMP11. You can simply use the explore on active sync to find your music folder and then drag and drop.
To delete audiomanager.exe you will have to disable touchflo.

I'm having the same problem with the TouchFlow3D media player. However I don't seem to have the folder structure you mention. I have ...
"Application Data\HTC\HTC Album" but there's no "AudioManager_Eng" folder. My "AudioManager_Eng" folder is located at "Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng" and in there I DO NOT have "Audiomanager_Eng.vol".
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
Mike

1. if you add a lot of music files it will take a long time for your HD to find them. a very long time!
2. to test, start with 1 or 2 albums in mp3 format
3. take care that each of the mp3 files to have the same album name on the Id Tag
4. on your card you can have any structure. i use something similar to my PC: music/artist/album
5. you can add a picture (artwork) within the respective folder for each album and it will be displayed on the tf3d player (the name should be folder.jpg for each picture)
if you respect these steps for sure it will work. you can also use s2p and the albums pictures will look very cool when you wil slide them
good luck!

Any update on this? Mine doesn't work..

Help!
I don't know what's wrong with my HTC Diamond. I got the Sprint version. It was working fine until a few days ago. Everytime a play a song on the TF3D player, it plays the songs, but then it stops the songs halfway thru, and then it wont continue playing unless I restart the whole song. I tried doing the Hard reset, soft reset, follow the steps above and it still does the same thing. On the WM player, they work fine, but not on the TF3D player. Pls help

T3FD Music Player not reading files

I copied a whole bunch of music to the storage card and updated the library in Windows Media player but the music player in TouchFlo still shows no music. I am assuming its trying to look at the internal device music folder and not looking at the storage card. How do I update the settings and make it index the music on the storage card. Does it not use the same library as the Windows Media Player?
Thx.

Try to put some musics file to the device not SD card and check if TF3D play can see them

Thx for the suggestion ...yes it does see them

Hmmm - I don't think that's it.
TF3D player does seem to behave poorly at times. I suggest either a soft reset or a TF3D shut down and then restart.
I have my music in the SD card in a folder called Music and then each album in a folder.
TF3D finds this OK. But, of course, behaves badly at times - last night I showed the HD to a iphone user and the album pictures just did not show up (damn TF3D) and the iphone user just laughed.
Who knows how/when TF3D does its scan of music ??
My other music players (pocket tunes and pocket player) both have scanning options.

This 15 steps works..
1. Disable TF3D
2. Soft-reset (only if the step 3-5 failed, but it's better)
3. Open this registry key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
Delete everything in it
4. Open this registry key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Music
Delete everything in it
5. Open \Application Data\HTC\
Delete "AudioManager_Eng" folder
6. Enable TF3D
7. Go to the music tab
8. The "Searching..." will not complete, don't worry
9. Go to another tab
10. Go back to music tab, and make sure there's no more "Searching..."
11. Disable TF3D again
12. Soft-reset
13.Open this registry key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
Delete the "information" key
14. Enable TF3D
15. That works for me...
PDA : HTC Raphael GSM
ROM : Official version 1.90
TF3D : GEN.Y Manila Revolution R1.5

Manila 2.5 Music player stopping

Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem that seems to be just my HD. Maybe it's my music, but that's what I'm here to find out.
Whilst playing a song in the music tab, after a minute or so it just stops, the play/pause button is playing yet there is no sound and the progress bar doesn't move. It will only resume again after I hit pause and then play and even then the song just begins again. This happens no matter what ROM I am using. Miri, Dutty and PhamQuang roms all do the same.
Thanks for looking, I hope you can help.

Hi,
Also facing this problems, after about 43 seconds the music just stops.
It also stops when you press the standby button.
Please help!

It's supposed to stop when you press the power button, although there is a registry tweak to prevent this from happening.

TF3D2.5 has problems playing my non-Lame encoded MP3s and also stops other mp3s playing properly.

Could using wma music help? I will test this out and get back with the results

solution works for me

Was doing some fiddling last night (as mentioned in another thread) and it, for me at least, appeared to be a problem with the program a mp3 was compressed with.
All my lame mp3s work fine but as soon as I copy one which dbpoweramp says was compressed with FHG all mp3s stop after a few seconds.

Yay. Glad it's working now Pain having to re-encode mp3s though.

can someone please post the registry tweak to prevent music player to stop in standby!thanks!

Hey Guys, i had the same problem.
I just used resco explorer. Selected all files in the MP3 folder and removed the readonly. It worked like a charm. Try this out and lemme know if it worked.

if this works you will be my hero of the day
edit: the read only is checked clear after tapping it gets empty but then after reopen its checked clear again?!
what does this mean?
-> music still stops playing
would be grateful for further help

Hello,
I too have been experiencing my 8Gb of music stopping when used with WM6.5 ROMs. Ripped using Windows media 11 (not Lame encoded).
I noticed that when starting to play an MP3, in the top left corner of the screen, next to the CD icon, was a spinning disc. When this disc stopped spinning, the music stopped playing.
My solution was switch on wifi (connected). Press Menu. Press Update Album Art. Press Current Song. The top right of the screen says Link to Gracenote. After some seconds an album cover will appear and the spinning disc will stop. I only needed to update one album and the problem stopped on all MP3s.
Nothing to lose,,,give it a try.
PS. I use a little mortscript to modify the following registry entry that allows me to turn off the screen without headphones connected.
HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Headset = 1

Mate,
I forgot to mention the other part.
Ok try the below steps.
1) Copy all MP3 files into ONE folder. You should not use multiple folders.
2) Now in resco explorer, go to MENU -> EDIT -> SELECT ALL
3) Once all MP3 songs are selected, again go to MENU -> FILE -> PROPERTIES.
4) Now disable all checkboxes like read only, archive, hidden and system files.
5) Then select DONE.
Now you should be good to go.
Note: DO NOT SELECT THE MP3 FOLDER TO MODIFY THE READ ONLY. Even if you uncheck the read only attribute for the folder, it will show as read only if you look at the properties again. Change the attribute of MP3 files and it should work.
I use a 16GB class 6 SD card and it works great for me.
I had already opened a thread to discuss the issue.
You might find more info here as well.

Sorry to hear that it dint work. I completely understand your frustration coz i was one few days back.
Did u check the attributes of the MP3 files again after removing read only?
Do you face this problem in other audio players like, WMP, S2P as well? I never faced problems in other players.
Since the previous solution dint work, lets try something else.
Remove all ur MP3s in the folder. Just add 10 MP3s first. Try the steps I had given in my previous post. now after removing the read only for the 10 MP3s, try playing them to see if it works. If it does add another 20 MP3s.
You can also try to remove the read only by connecting ur SD card to a computer.
If you still face issues, format your SD card with default allocation size. Try loading the files into one folder and remove the read only attribute for all the files.
I am no techie guy.. if you ask me how it worked for me, i am absolutely clueless.

first thanks for your help!
in windows media player all the files worked without errors.
just copied some mp3 files from sd card to my device and even then with the manila player they stop!
going to flash a new rom and sd is getting formated right now.
because the touch hd is my mp3 device this is really annoying!

Ok. If it does not work even from phone memory, then something else is wrong.
Try energy rom pheonix with Sense 2.1. I think that might work..

flashed to xanny evo 1.5b and what should i say
transfered a fex album with wmp ( fast disc tranfser mode) and tried to listen - stopped after seconds.
then I put these mp3´s ( about 40 not sure) in one folder and put wifi on and updated all album arts.
after that the circle next to music went away and it works so far !
hell yeah
my joy didnot last very long - going to through my hd out of the window and get a motorola milestone just dreaming

Same issue fixed for me
Hi guys,
I had the same or similar issue with the Sense 2.5 included in my ROM.
I my case the issue was caused by the all versions of Manila 2.1 and 2.5 that created files named "AlbumArt_{937436F0-A712-496E-B610-48576D832D91}_Large.jpg" or "HTCAlbumArt.jpg" in the subfolders. I have of folder for each artist and different folders for each of their albums.
To resolve the issue I've only removed all the *.jpg file except the folder.jpg (256*256 pixels). After a soft reset, the HTC Audio Player recreated his own *.jpg named ~HTC_AlbumTitle.jpg. The only thing I don't know is if the name is linked with Sense 2.5 or Dutty's ROM.
I hope It will help someone else.

Re-encoding in LAME worked a treat for me, Thanks a bunch

This has the new dump from Leo 2.01 and a new Sense, not sure the number, but I am able to play any of my audio files with no other manipluation. Not sure is this is the this particular Sense Build, or Leo dump, or the cook. But I no longer have the stopping after a few seconds issue.
