Meridian and Bluetooth Headset - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi,
I install Meridian player and like it very much.
But when I'm using my AD2P bluetooth headset, it launches and changes HTC Music player tracks.
I enabled the "use headset" option in Meridian, but can't find where to disable it for default player.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I got the same problem.
I tried to disable it with the program Autostarts (paid app)
The buttons don't work if i disable it.
Does anyone have a solution so it works with Meridian.
I also have the problem that sometimes the audio stutters,
and when i play mp3's i hear some variation in the playback speed.

I didn't find any solution yet.
Anybody ?

I have the same problem with Beyondpod and ACast. Dou you have find a solution ?

I tried with default android player..same result: impossible to change tracks.
Only HTCMusic player seems to have this functionnality

The stutter comes from apps that run in the background, i also hope that it will be fixed in android 2.0. when i close everything with taskkiller it works fine.
I tested Meridian with my headset and the same problem. when i press a button like play/pause htc player starts. maybe it works if you remove the htc player?? but i'm not sure.

I tried to kill HTC Music, and later to delete HtcMusic.apk.
Same results, meridian don't work with headset buttons

I've found the stutter is from wifi being on. It keeps checking and using up resources.
I would love the ability to pause/skip tracks in acast and last.fm. Is this something that may be added in the future?

Motorola S9HD Bluetooth Stereo + WM Player

Friends,
I own the Motorola S9HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones and noticed when I launch S2P, WM media player launches also.
Any ideas why this occurs? If I don't have the BT headset on and launch S2P by itself, no problems.
Please any ideas will be appreciated.
Thank You,
Tvos
so no one here has any ideas on this?

I think it's from the S9s. When i launch Coreplayer and press the play button, it starts WMP :\ This wasn't the case with my regular S9s.

You may want to enable CorePlayer's options of taking control of WMP plugins. S2P doesn't support Bluetooth controls I thought?
AC explained it to me via prv msg that its a part of WM core engine which automatically loads at S2P execution. No way to disable it..
Case closed!

Windows Media Player Alternatives?

So...
WMP sucks... its slow to switch songs... tough to create playlists and freezes up my Ozone whenever I am listening to music and get a txt/email.
However one thing it does do is allow me to use the song select buttons on my stereo bluetooth headset.
What I am looking for is an alternative to WMP that allows the use of those buttons.
I really like Pocket Tunes - clean interface, easy to use... wicked fast song switching but it doesnt recognize the buttons on the Headset.
I havent been able to get Core Player to work on it... keeps giving errors.
Any suggestions or rec's would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Try Kinoma Play.
i think either vlc or mplayer also has a windows mobile (though it may be in beta)

Pocket Player will use the buttons on the headset, but you MUST go into comm manager and set your bluetooth to stereo and hands free each time prior to using Pocket Player. This happens with some headsets for some reason.
My Jabra BT8010 set works fine without having to go into comm man each time, but my old Motorola set did not.
I 2nd Kinoma Play. Easy UI, good features, smooth operation.

coreplayer make a problem with my A2DP bluetooth headset..
controlling wmp while locked or in another app
I am a newbie coming from blackberry & i have a question. On the bberry, if the phone is locked u can still control the music player by using the volume up/down keys to change volume & change tracks. You can also control the volume & change tracks when not even in the media player screen...for example if i switch over to look at my email....is there a modification that will make this possible on a wm6x phone?
Core player, TCPMP, or HTC Audio manager are good. I made a Titanium HTC Audio Manager panel for my latest ROM. You have to enable it in CHome Config.
Will the voice recognition software work with other players?

Bluetooth Headset only with WMP :(

Hi,
When I press any button on my BT Stereo Headset, my Blackstone always opens WMP.
I want it to use an (any) other player in stead. (pref. CorePlayer of TCPMP)
I did search the forum and I found this problem in some threads but there are no solutions there...
I've tried AVRCP Agent, But it doesnt work. I also tried a2dptoggle but it didn't work at all (just showed a today plugin that did nothing)....
Is there a solution because the library of WMP realy sucks bigtime.
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
Kick,
Anyone?
Try this...

I've got the same problem too. Even if coreplayer is currently playing, when I press the pause button on my bluetooth headphones. It will pause coreplayer and open WMP... WMP is completely awful... I have no clue how to disable it.
Hi Pfeffa-rah. A couple of us are looking for a solution to this very problem in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568142
Which Rom and versions of Windows/Manila are you running?

Audio Booster randomly shutting down

I posted about this problem a couple of pages ago. I did some additional observations and it seems that the Audio Booster has a main problem with windows media player (and all the players that use the media player engine, like the HTC Music player, s2p etc.)
However, when I play my music with Conduits Pocket Player I have no problems whatsoever with the Audio Booster. (Fortunately...)
Maybe it's my partical device which is fooling with me, maybe not. I don't know. Are there others users experiencing simular issues with the Audio Booster?
Same issue here... I think it is a massive bug in it.
As I experienced it is stop when the device is go to standby (or I send to there) and happening after the player is jump to the next song. It isn't randomly. I can do it anytime.
Just try it:
Play music - turn on the Audio Booster - go to standby - wait for the next song - go back from standby =>>> The Audio Booster is already OFF
Sad story... I hope they will repair soon.

I experienced that it turns off after each song, I fixed this by pressing the home button rather than the Done softkey, this keeps it running in the background.
Just a quick question. Do you guys have a lot of music files on your MicroSD card? I have 14 gig of music, maybe the music app can't handle that.
Furthermore I have all my album art embedded in the mp3 files. Maybe that causes the booster to quit?
I ask this because I'm really astonished that this problem isn't reported much more on HD2 fora.
I have only 4gig so I don't think so that is the problem.

You mean using for example CorePlayer 1.3.5 is not detected the problem? Maybe as a temporary solution and we could see how to change the CorePlayer and application of music by default (if it works) because even though we're listening to music with another application which not either HTC or Windows by pressing the button on the remote change of composition of the headphones these applications are launched.
Told me I look good, the translation is from google but may not express myself clearly enough.

better Playlist editor????

Hi all,
I have been trying to find a music player in the Market that can help me make playlists more easily.
In particular...
able to pick multiple songs out of different albums and not have to start over at the beginning of ALL THE ALBUMs!
Does anyone.. use a good music player that they can recommend?
Also on wish list but not required at this point:
-have stereo Bluetooth
-can control the music player with my Bluetooth headphone device
-has an equalizer
-have controls on the lock screen (similar to HTC's player)
Thanks for help.
Dan
No music player other than HTC's will be able to have lock screen controls.
The lack of EQ is due to limitations in Android's audio API. There is a player in Market that claims to have it, but it's $30... There's a free version, but I haven't tried it, because my headphones are decent enough that I don't need it.
I use MixZing specifically because it lets me queue up things from different categories. I don't use actual playlists though. No idea how well it deals with Bluetooth.
I just found a program to fix Bluetooth button on headsets.
claims to fix the other players.. so your headset can control the new player.
It must be new... because there were no comments by any user.
it is called: "Headset Button Fix"
but it requires the HTC player be removed.
If I do remove the HTC Player...
How do I get it back if it is not what I want??
thanxs
