Media Panel and TouchFLO = Lag! - XPERIA X1 General

hey there.
ive got a problem and i realy dont get it fixed.
somehow i fell in love with the Media panel. Navigation is easy and fast. same goes for TouchFLO. But as soon i install a custom ROM which has Touchflo on it, the Mediapanel doesn plays Videos in Landscape anymore. is somehow fixed the problem by editing the File Extensions and just set every Movie file type to the wmplayer.exe. it worked ... but not like it should.
movies are played in Landscape now, but
1. the colors on the screen edges are messed up
2. it usualy lags like stupid. especialy when i played a movie with teh HTCAlbum before.
does any1 know how to fix this?

ok, i now importeted the Complete File registry from the original R2 rom ... i didnt fixed the problem. and movies are still not played in Landscape sometimes.
help plz? playing movies with the regular Media player or the HTC album is way to complicated (finding the desired file)

I too have this problem. Just wanted to let you know, you aren't the only one.

i know
i found an old thread bout that problem but thers also no solution.
i installed the original rom now ... bit slower then custom ones but hey ... i want this panel working

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"

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..

Playlists?
Does anyone know of a way of importing WMP11 playlists into the Media panel playlists? Don't really want to recreate and add all of my tracks into the Media panel playlists-they do not appear to be compatible withe each other!

Media Panel refuses to play?

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

Sony's Media Panel - you know the one

Ok - Using several different ROMs I have found the one that suits me the best - I have one nagging problem - videos that previously were played in landscape full screen are now chopped in half and being played via portrait??
So my question is what / where is the media player that is being used on that panel - I want to see if I have options to change the view setting - or ifs it just windows media player then i give up.

maybe not a custom rom issue but more a media player issue ! working with an original/std factory rom & it is so crappy that i know use core player which is really better ! we are multiple people having concerns with the sony media player (xmb panel)
the panel files are under /program files/panels
im using itjes rom as well, reinstalling mxp fixed most of the problems.
have you tried playing your vids in windows media to see what happens?
i forgot to say, opening mxp as a standalone using pubbas doesnt work, so there might be something else going on, when i get some time ill take a look.
Well they play landscape in media player but it looks like crap- plus the touch controls on the sony media xper thing are much better - i have looked in the panels and the other location but i dont see anything that i can look at or set - - so with jacks rom the panel plays perfectly (once you install it) but the one that i want to use and like is the touch one - but the panel just has that one flaw - i have tried to uninstall and reinstall the panel same thing.
I've encountered the same problem and uninstalled the media panel alltogether. I think it relates to Itje's "experience" ROM, as I didn't encounter the issue before installing it. With another ROM the problem might well be solved; just tinker around with it a bit.
Thanks for the replies -
Just installed coreplayer - works well enough - still miss my touch screen menu overlay on the video - but Its worth it on this ROM that works better than stock.

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!

Media Panel - Lag - Cpu Usage - Crash Bug (SOLVED)

UPDATE - Since this problem does not happen on firmware r1a i started cooking and after many cooked roms/oem packages mixing i found the file that is the cause for the problems i described here!!!
The new r2a HTCSrcFlt3.dll on the windows folder has some kind of bug that makes the media panel with some mp3 completely useless.
This mp3 is the perfect example. Anyone with a r2a original rom will have problems playing it. The panel will lag and if you forward the music to about 40min it will stutter !!
http://rapidshare.com/files/202091733/01-armin_van_buuren-76-int.rar
Replacing the HTCSrcFlt3.dll with the original r1a version the media panel no longer lags !! Perfect.
I hope it helps someone here that noticed what i described here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys. I have with me a xperia with r2a firmware.
I have found that the media panel has some big problems. I have made 3 videos showing off that while playing a simple mp3 the interface becomes very very slow for about 1 min. If i pause the music it starts working ok. If i wait for about 1min the media panel starts working ok again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVkzyU4n89I
Of course smt is very wrong here with the cpu usage. almost 90% cpu ?????? you can see that on the second video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnySXqS_P8Q
The 3rd video shows of a bug that makes the app crash needing a reset
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ85U_mBO7k
I know that i can use 3rd app for listening to music but why can't just things work ok out of the box especially for a phone of this price ??
I'm i alone on this ???
All video are uploaded. Look at the second one for a better idea of what's happening.
i forgot to say that the crash happen mostly with big/long mp3 tracks
Can someone please test if the same happens ??
thank you all
just to say that i've email SE with this problem and i'm awainting response.
In the mean time, nobody else took 5 min to test if you have the same problem ??
thank you
You posted 4x in a row, why not 1 post and 3 edits?
My media panel has no problem at all. Did you try the R1A media panel yet?
I'm thinking either you've got bad media file you're trying to play, or there's something not entirely right with your software. A hard reset is always a great way to start.
thank you for your reply but it's not a bad media file. hard reset , clean reset you name it !
I've tryed pocketplayer and i have no high cpu problem. I think it's sad for this kind of phone. Also the a2dp bug reported by other user is not comfortable.
For your own test, you have here one of the media files that gives me problems.

Please, someone, explain why is this mp3 so special to make the media panel very slow/crash.
Thank you all

I could say "because it's 170MB and the music sucks" but that would not make things easier
I can't download your file due to a slow internet connection but I have 3 concert MP3 files on my phone, each has 200 - 300MB and I never had such problems with them. The player never crashed and never stopped. So it could really be the file itself (bad bitrate maybe?) or some software issue on you phone.
Sorry for cannot help you more.

Same file on HD - Cpu usage + streaming over bluetooth.
guys, after reflashing the rom to r1a version the problem does not appear, the media panel no longer crashes/lags.
But here comes a very cool thing.
I've tested the r2a rom with the old media panel and the problem still exits so i've reflashed the r1a rom but installed at the end the r2a media panel, an it almost works perfectly (still crashes when trying to see some mp3 info)but FINALLY no more lags. So after all it's some file that was changed on the r2a rom that causes the problem.
I would appreciate some help trying to find what is the cause/file(s) that is causing the media panel to work very bad on the r2a rom !!
Any one ?? Thank you !!!
