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"
LargePortrait="\Program Files\Panels\MediaExperiencePanel\Resources\MxP_Portrait.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..

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.

first it seemed so.. but it crashed again :S but now i know that it's the fault of some mp3 files... i copied only 30 of 56 albums and its working fine... so i have to copy 10 by 10 to see which mp3 file is causing it... sry for the wrong info.

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

like i said.. try copying your music for example 50 by 50 and try it on your hd2... smoehow one of my eminem albums was causing the problem... now it's running like a charm

I used MP3val to fix my collection, googled it after someone mentioned it as a possible solution. Did the trick for me, it's working now.
Complete steps in my case:
- format SD from HD2
- 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...

This is the ultramate sloution for me! works just fine!
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

Sense Player / HTC Sense crash

Hello all,
I have a problem with the Sense Player. Since today the HTC Sense is crashing and restarting new if I go to the Sense Player. I have no music on my mobile. Do someone something know about that problem?
Edit:// I found the reason. There was a bad mp3 track on my storage card. After deleting it works fine.

I have this problem also, but the only way i can get around it is by deleting the Audiomanager_Eng in "Application Data\HTC".
...Can you explain what you mean by a bad mp3 file?

Most likely a corrupted or incomplete track. It happens often and can cause various issues with audio players.

Correct. There was a mp3 track about 700 kb on my storage card. This song was incomplete. After deleting this file everything works fine again.

Problem solved. Thanks

Thanks for your solution. I was searching around for several days and the only idea so far, other than deleting all audio files which did not help, was to hard reset. Deleting this folder solved the issue.
The problem is that I don't know the cause for the issue to happen. I did not find any "bad" mp3 file. Some folks are posting issues with ID3 identifacation or imbeved album art.
As my machine does not crash now, and knowing this great solution, I will try again.
Thanks

Music will not start

Hi,
I used Microsoft ActiveSync Explorer to delete and move some music files. Now HTC Music will not start. Instead it just restarts HTC Sense. I believe this may well be because the current album playing was one that I removed or edited so it cannot find it. The files play perfectly fine with WMP.
Any ideas how I can overcome this?
Cheers.

Bump, sorry.

I tried removing all music from the device. No affect. HTC sense still restarts. I did a search through the registry and found HKLM/Software/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/information with several strings relating to a removed album. I modified these to point to a new one but still no luck. I have also tried modifying HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Music. Sense still restarts.
Can anyone help?

Stock music player can't handle too many music rtists

I copied my music collection on to my phone (4,700 .m4a files which are eaac+ at 48kbits/s), which is about 350 albums with 1000+ artists. The stock music player plays them all fine and all the embedded album art and other metadata is all there. The only problem I get is when I select the 'artists' tab. I get a brief insufficient memory message, then the player closes itself.
Has anyone else seen this? Surely 1000+ artists shouldn't be a problem for a cutting edge superphone.

I'm thinking probably a bug that they've missed? Or it might just be to do with your firmware, what version are you using?
