Media Panel refuses to play? - XPERIA X1 General

Hi,
Everything was working fine, but now, for some reason, the media panel won't play any music, it ust seems to be stuck on paused. The panel is still responsive and I can view pictures and contacts etc, it's just that the 'play' button doesn't work
Anyone else had this problem, or know what's causing it?
Also slightly less importantly, my Storage Card doesn't show in WMP (works fine in File Explorer though) - what have I missed haha

did you try to soft reset?
i had that on my tytnII i couldnt accces sd i put the sd in the pc it saw it and then i put the sd back in the phone it worked. maybe you could givi it a try

Yup, done all the soft-resets and reinsertions of memory cards that I can be bothered with haha.
Really rather not have to hard reset, just got it set up etc, who know's what'll cause it to do it again!!

There is a thread here or over at xperia1.net that explains it, but this issue is only if you've installed the Youtube cab from Manilla (as it changes the way it plays stufff).
So, if you've installed the Manilla Youtube cab, there is a fix out there somewhere (you need to basically edit the registry), but don't ask me where Been a few weeks sience I searched for it.

Your problem with non playing video seems similar to the one I had, please read below.
Possible problems with Pubba panel instaler V2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norti,
Iv just done a hard reset back to default on my stock rom, but when I install Pubba panel installer v2, media files no longer play in Sony Media player or Windows media player, The James Bond stock video and other music files do not play.
Iv tried to eliminate all other causes by doing hard resets and testing each program, Touch 3D is great, but the panel installer seems to corrupt the media files and or there file association.
It seems media files in system ram prior to installing panel installer are not recognised and are treated as being corrupted.
If you have a cooked rom or you deleted all your stock rom video early on then you may have not noticed this error.
Please have a look at the panel installer as the ability to listen to music or listen to the radio while browsing is a very useful function.
PS best reason yet to own an X1 - Top Gear on BBC iplayer, fantastic, its what the X1 was made for !
(opera using wifi for international users )

if the InProc node is not there at all, just add it. it worked on my german X1i

M4A-Playback and Geotagging

Hi!
2 short questions, which I couldnt solve on my X1:
1.) Is it possible to play m4a-Files? Die Media-Panel recognizes them, but cant play them. I know from WM6.1 on, the necessary codecs should be included in WM itself. Did Sony Ericsson took them out for some reason? Can we put them back in? I'd really love to use TFL3D's Audioplayer with all of my music.
2.) I want to use the device with geotagging. Is it also possible (bcz its manufactured from HTC) like on the Diamond to activate this via Reg-Hack? I didnt find the exact option, so would be nice if someone with more experiance could check. If not, are there any 3rd-party-solutions for this problem?
Thanks already for every answer.
*bump*
for the 2nd question I found a 3rd-party-solution with locrGPS.
But what about non-encrypted ACC-Playback? Anyone knows any solution???
mmh problem still exists here with R2, anybody found a solution? searched forums as well as with google but found no solution though
mp4a format: I copy my music files directly from my iTunes folder on my Mac and they play perfectly with Coreplayer and also by the media experience panel on my X1.
Geotagging: the new R3A camera CAB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499154) supports geotagging.
"mp4a format: I copy my music files directly from my iTunes folder on my Mac and they play perfectly with Coreplayer and also by the media experience panel on my X1."
well for that most part that works for me too
but m4a files bought at itunestore as itune plus
well all of it is that these days
then it don't work in media panel
not sure if it's because itune plus songs
are 256K/bit sec

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

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..

Jinxed - Starting the New Year with a Hard Reset

Hi,
After a month of using Xperia, having applied tweaks and installed custom apps and add-ons... i believe it to be the best mobile ever!
Alas! today i set out to accomplish more on the device. I installed various applications including; HTC Home and HTC Home Configration, Conduits Pocket Player, Mort Player, Flip Side (Great Player but extreme resource hog!), and a couple of other things. As you can imagine, i was looking mainly for an alternative to WMP for playing mp3s. I use CorePlayer for movies playback, but need one for Mp3s...
Any idea which one might have caused the problem...
Best Regards.
Well... it was most definitely HTC Home + HHC. After hard-resetting, i installed it again. And voila! the device fails to start up again.
Am hard resetting again...
Hey i've killed mine twice in the past 24hr, thank god I managed to re-flash it
That will teach me to try to hack out a custom rom for myself, although my phone has just booted now, with :-
Touch-IT Experience 2.2 No Panels, just wanted TFL3D (Good Basepoint, thanks itje)
20931 XPI (ain't managed to get the SYS folder updated yet )
Updated Manilla and other blackstone apps from latest blackstone rom
Changed pagepool to 24mb

Hehe... i didn't flash the rom with a custom one... like the Panels and performance was awesome after tweaking. I like TF3D but only as another Panel and not just the only one.
Windows media player can play MP3's
If you install G alarm it installs the MP3 codec into windows media play. Windows media play will then pick up and play your Mp3 files and display there album art, which is nice. WMP nows plays everyhting well apart from midi files, which play at an appaling quality. Dont forget the update libarary option in media player to scan for files
Down load these midi file, play it on your PC, never has so much passion, & emotion come in such a tini music file, hope you like ! Then see what the X1 plays them like.

Of course Media Player can play MP3s... why wouldn't it? And i even got Album art working with it... but i don't want to use WMP but am looking for a better alternative.
I have an iPhone and to me the iPod player on it is awesome. Flipside provided similar functionality, but too slow and buggy to use. I am keeping my iPhone as an iPod touch so will usually use that for music, but i won't be carrying the iPhone with me all the time and thus wanted some great program for the Xperia to playback music as well...

TouchFlo Music Player not working at all!

Hello guys..
New to the forum, but not to the game - so sorry beforehand if there is already a thread concerning this issue. A link to that thread would more than suffice, but after a few minutes of searching I couldn't find anything - so here goes:
My Blackstone really acts up when I try to use the Music Player in TouchFlo3d. Meaning, all I have to to is slide the menu over to the "Music" tab - and TouchFlo immediately restarts/resets and I end up back at the "Home" window. I've tried formatting the SD card (was thinking maybe it was my music files acting up), but that didn't do the trick. At the moment I just use Media Player Mobile, which is good enough, but I would really love for the actual TouchFlo player to work as well.
Thanks a lot for any help regarding this !
Sincerely, Naxos aka Joachim.
Well why don't you start off by explain how you came to get this problem in the first place? What did you install.
I doubt it will just screw up like that.
Of course, sorry.. that's just the point, and probably why I forgot to mention it. This actually happened like the first night I ever used the phone, so I had installed absolutely nothing yet. I was "new" to the phone then, so I just disabled music tab for TF3D, until now - cuz now I've come to know the phone well enough, and I want to get the problem fixed.
I had synched a few songs via WMP from my desktop computer, and the first time I added them they worked. But as I tried to listen to a few of them, scrolling back and forth, checking the menus etc, suddenly (sounds weird, but that's how i experienced it) it started acting up as previously explained.
Currently the only stuff I've installed to the phone is:
-Official HTC Fixes
-Coreplayer(legit)
-HDTweak
-tnyynt SD Tuner
-MusicID
Really sorry that I really can't explain anymore as to how the whole problem occurred in the first place, and of course I understand if this prevents you guys from really helping at all. Of course, a hard reset would probably do the trick - but I would very much like to avoid that!
My TF3D music player screwed up when i tried to play wma files, as soon as i removed those and only added mp3 files it's ben working fine.
you could check your phone (internal memory and sd card) for unsupported music file format
as long as the stupid thing (tf3d player) scan the entire device for media files, it can stuck on one of those unsupported formats.
it happened to me when i first added my ringtones, so that can be it.
good luck!
Thanks noris, but even that wasn't the thing it seems
searched my whole device for anything but mp3 files, and came up with nothing, I mean other than my ringtones tho.. don't really want to delete all of those..
hm, I'm really at a loss here - so one final effort for some hero out there to help me please! else I guess I'm going for the hard reset
thanks for the replies, anyway!
I had a similar issue with 'Santogold' by Santogold. I read on some other forum that the Touch Flo music player locks out if you have an album title with the same name as an artist! Sounds crazy, but ...I removed the Santogold album and it worked fine. Transpires it loaded in the tracks upto that album then had a fit and kept throwing me out. I still can't figure out what's wrong with the file. It's an mp3 format album purchased from 7Digital. http://www.7digital.com/artists/santogold/santogold/ (encoded at 256k). Have a look at all the music you're transfering over to the HTC and see if there's any music files that bear these similar traits.
I've also had the random audio pauses using the player, bizarre digital scrobbling noises (had to reset device to fix that one). Nearly all of my files were ripped to MP3 using Windows Media Player 11 at 128k. The whole Touch Flo interface is buggy. Are we all raising these bugs with HTC? I have raised a couple so far. Latest being the mail previews (in the envelope graphic) not being able to flick through previews. Seems to happen if the device is reset and you go straight into mail once it fires up, or if the device is left on standby for more than a couple of hours and you go into mail. You have to flick through sms previews first and THEN go back to mail for it to work. Crazy crazy stuff!

Problem with audiomanager_eng.exe

everytime i try to go to the music section the whole mp3 app crashes with an error massage?!
other problems: everytime i try to connect to twitter or weather theres a massage warning me about data roaming and after that there's a connection error.
I can though surf on the internet!
i got the audiomanager_eng.exe error fixed, but still i cannot connect to hotmail, weather or twitter, while i can connect to facebook, or youtube. wtf?

you are not allowed to copy music from pc to your sd card, but you have to put your sd card into the hd2, connect it to the pc and after that copy your music on it
The audiomanager does have issues with some tracks. Why im not sure yet. My blackstone with manila 2.5 also had an issue, but it didnt crash it, it just wouldnt advance through the tracks and slowed the player to a complete crawl. Im guessing its the way they were encoded or something wrong with the tagging that the manila player doesnt like.
I re-encoded the tracks and let the phone create its own album art, that seemed to work ok.

I just noticed that if you press the update album art button in top right corner it starts working again and plays 10 or 15 seconds more of the track and then crashes

Complete steps in my case:

- sync albums from WMPlayer by ActiveSync for correct folderstructure
- ran MP3val on Music folder on SD, fixed errors
Hope it helps!

Yep your right! Iv had to resort to putting the device in drive mode when plugged into pc and do a soft reset after each album, but the album art and songs are sure worth it

Will give it a go if I come across the issue after this method
Hi --
I seem to have the same issue. Audio Manager crashes on certain songs/albums and restarts Sense automatically. Soft reset doesn't change this. I have also edited all tags to make sure there are no comments/genres etc using mp3tag. Still music player will crash on the same song/album. WM plays just fine. Has anyone played with registry settings to fix this bug in HTC audio manager?
HD 2 Audio Manager and HTC messaging
I was so happy to have been able to purchase this device while on a recent trip to Hong Kong. To my surprise, I was unable to create text messages. I could see the incoming texts but when I hit the reply icon, the screen went "black". I could turn on the keyboard, but could not see anything in the black space above.
At the same time, there was a problem with the HTC music function. With the exception of the two sample songs, nothing else would play. The Windows Media Player worked but was a far cry from what I thought I was getting via HTC Sense technology.
I then erased the audio manager and to my surprise, the HTC Messaging worked flawlessly. When I reinstalled the audiomanager, the problem returned to the HTC Messaging.
Can you help sort this out?
Thanks for anything you can provide.
audiomanager or sms
Got the same problem here... I Installed the audiomanager (it does fix the audiomanager problem)...but I can't send sms cause the screen went black blank....
I tried remove the audiomanager application...and the sms function back to normal...but at the same time...the music player come with audiomanager problem again...
It's like we can only choose one of them...normal sms or fixed audiomanager.(it's really pissed me off)
please help me...

THX a lot!
My situation:
-music player from Manila 2.5 worked for several month and suddenly came to the same problem as we talking about here.
-Downloaded mp3val and scanned .mp3 in my storage card, then fixed them.
-After that, everything works fine like before.
Well I ca't believe that after all this time it's fixed. I suffered this problem with my diamond and thought that it would be resolved in the hd2, only to find after loading alll my music the problem was back, I assumed it was one of the albums that was drm causing it so removed it and deleted the .vol. Problem was still there then I removed all wma and aac files still there and then I found this post scanned and fixed with mp3val and all is well.
Bloody great thanks for the tip.
had the same problem
i had the same problem and fixed it with syncing with my pc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYSv7zqd744
i show it in this video
HTC itself do help
hi, lets us trust the one and only HTC itself.
got 1 best solution. no need to figure out other method to fix it. i done mine and it works! my MUSIC player working normal without any bugs. yayyy!
