*** DEVELOPMENT STOPPED! ***
Hey there!
For those of you who might be interested in this, here's a classic black HTC branded skin I've adapted for Windows Media Player Mobile.
Cheers!
Installation instructions:
Copy the contents of the archive (all files, includin hidden) to DEVICE\Program Files\Windows Media Player and select it from within options in Windows Media Player.
P.S.: Feedback needed!
thank you A++++++
just what I was looking for !!! -- but can you please post the .skn file as well. I had flashed my rom, so I dont have the default skin at all. your black version does not contain that file.

Got home, checked! I knew I couldn't be a geek like that. Archive contains all files, some of them are hidden and you need to set your OS to show hidden/system files.
Cheers!

I haven't met this issue before but try this:
Back-up everything in your skins folder to your PC, delete everything and put the files from the archive in that folder. It should work.

Sorry bro... Can't help you there!
Never seen anything like this.
Soft reset maybe? (I would have said Hard reset but it's a pain losing all your programs because of a Media Player skin issue)
I see a problem
in the original folder on my PC I see nothing ( I display hidde files !!!)
so I can't copy all from my p3300 to PC
I try to install another program than media Player and I'll say you
yes you're right
I try anothyer way instead of hard reset

On your PC, go to folder options and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Now you should be able to copy everything from your Trinity
Hi
I've seen the problem , sure it help some other guys
In fact I have installed Task manager before and I have customized the single Tap X for closing application and that was because the OK doesn't work , it was closing the setting instead of saving
Now I've set to Tap and hold X and it works fine
YEAHHHHHHHHH
I've made my skins (only updated existing ons found here with my photos )
AlbumArt related
Thought I'd write a few lines regarding AlbumArt, for those who might have problems displaying them.
The easiest way of getting album art to display on you Windows Mobile Media Player is to copy them to your device through Windows Media Player, aka synchronize them.
Files and albums in your PC library have tags and if instructed so, Windows Media Player downloads automattically/manually the album information of these files. This consists of ID tags plus album art. There are four files Windows Media Player downloads as album art: AlbumArt_{xxx}_Large (usually 200x200 px.), AlbumArt_{xxx}_Small (usually 75x75 px.), AlbumArtSmall (usually 75x75 px.) and Folder (usually 200x200 px.). These files are set attribute hidden.
When you sync music files with Windows Media Player to your device, it automatically copies these files to you device and Windows Media Player Mobile displays them.
Now, if you do not wish, for some reason, to have Windows Media Player download this information for you or you have a custom CD cover you'd like to use, it is enough to create a Folder.jpg (200x200 px.) inside your album folder and it will display the album art.
If you wish to manually add albums to your Mobile Device and/or having problems with displaying the album art, you can follow the step described above to create a Folder.jpg with the album art and Windows Media Player Mobile will display it.
Here comes the tricky part. The 200x200 px. album art images are great to be handled by Windows Media Player but they appear jerky on Windows Media Player Mobile. That is because the latter uses another album art image size to display. 200x200 px. album art files will show up, jerky though, but if you'd like to have a neat look of the album art files on your mobile device, resize the images to 154x154 px. (this is the dimension this skin uses) and you will get a neat result like the one attached.
Hope you find this info usefull!
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, but i don't know how to use it, thanks

Media Player Touch themed skin!
I've been using the available Touch skin for Windows Media Player (credits for that go to monoberlin) untill I have discovered that while playing videos, they were not displayed right.
So inspired by that theme I have built a skin that has the issue fixed.
Hope you like it!
Skin uses 144x144 px album art for best displaying results in portrait mode and 112x112 px in landscape mode.
Cheers!
P.S.: Feedback needed, as always!
Landscape Also PLEEASE !

Only Portrait for now but if there will be demand I'll make the Landscape too.

Thanks for this fix, please make the landscape as well because I use landscape for all my videos and I've been bothered by the bad display. Thanks
Landscape added to Post #17

Videos display better in portrait mode because it allows larger overlay display. Anyway, I've made the landscape too and updated the archive.
Cheers!
2nd Media Player Touch themed skin!
Here's another one, this time built completely from scratch.
Fixes:
- New, slick, intuitive buttons;
- Smoother interface;
- Larger video overlay size;
- Larger album art display (159x159 px )
Projects:
- Landscape mode for this one is in production so just portrait for now;
Cheers!

Touch flow 3d Music library
I loaded my MP3 files ontoo the HD using Vista's mediaplayer...
Then i added them to the HD's mediaplayers library...
Its says the touchflow music library will automatically find the MP3 files on my SD card... But it doesn't.....
Anyone else having this problem... (My music library in touch flow 3D is still empty....... and there apparently is no way to force it)
When I loaded my huge library into the HD, it wouldn't show them in the TF Media player either, untill right after I restarted the device to apply some Advanced Config tweaks.
I guess this is more of a indexing taking mighty long problem then it really not finding the media.
Soft resetting did the trick for me,
thank you
I've sync my media library to the phone but one album is not showing the cover art in the touch flow library but is in windows media libray.
Anyone else getting this or know how to fix it?
Thanks JanSchotsmans - I had the same problem until a soft reset (what a poor software).
I had all my albums in the storage card which were visible to WMP and Pocket Tunes and Touch Flo music said no music available.
Soft reset fixed it !

I have a similar problem. The cover art shows the same picture for all files in a specific folder, while in windows media library it shows for each number the correct cover art. I have not spent much time yet trying to solve this but if someone has already figured it out, that would save me and others some time
I thought I would share this tip as I spent an hour trying to get Touch Flo to find my music.
Do a soft reset and then all the music pops up !
I had Pocket Tunes and WMP both seeing all the music and album covers in the storage card but what ever I tried I could not get Touch Flo to see any thing. An explore elsewhere led me to try a soft reset.

Thanx

HTC support gives instructions
I visited htc support and they have this stupid (!) suggestion about this problem with the cover art: They suggest that you place each mp3 (same album mp3s excluded of course) in an individual folder and put a file named folder.jpg inside. It's true, that works, BTW I figured it out myself but I find that a bit annoying. I may switch to a different media player.
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
Audio Manager : Haven't changed anything here
File Manager : Resco Explorer 2010 Beta
Registry Editor : Resco Explorer 2010 Beta + Registry Add-in
Thank you...
I hope your problem will be solved..

Thanks Worked like a Charm just did these Tweaks !
1. Install the TCPMP Tech1 TP2 version to the main memory. DO NOT install to your SD CARD....
3. Open the TCPMP player, go to Options> Video> If "DirectDraw" is check marked, "Unchecked Mark it"...
4. Check mark "GDI" (if it does not work then) Check "Raw Frame Buffer", (one of these will work)....
5. Go to Options> Settings> Select Page> DirectDraw> (Overlay format should say Auto) Check Mark "Use blitting instead of overlay", Check mark, "Use device strecting for blitting", tap on OK...
6. Go to Options> Settings> Select Page> File Associations> and Check Mark ALL THE BLOCKS, tap OK in the lower left corner, exit the player, soft reset your TP2.... When your device comes back up, you can play the videos now
Now it plays All my avi's with out a lag !!!
seems to be smoother now...thanks a lot
Hello,
Just followed instruction:
Here are the steps to get to your video files and enjoy them with the HTC media player rather than Windows Media Player Mobile:
1.Tap Albums from the Sense screen.
2.Tap Albums from within the screen that now opens. (Mine is labeled Camera Shots at the top left.)
3.Scroll down to your Storage Card area (if that is where you placed your movies) and you should see a thumbnail for Movies with the number of movies you have loaded on the right in parenthesis. You will also see a Transformers folder here.
4.Tap the folder and then tap on the movie you want to view using the HTC media player.
Now, this is a rather convoluted way to get to your movies, so here is what you can do after drilling down to your Movies folder as detailed above.
1.Tap the Menu soft key on the right.
2.Tap on “Set Album as Favorite”
3.Your Movie album will now be the default on the Sense Today screen so you can flip through your movies there. Unfortunately, you can only have one favorite on the Sense Today screen so you cannot have both camera shots and movies placed there
********************************************************
And just works almost perfect. I have 8 movies on sd card and I only can see 1 thumbnail from 1 movie. I cant see the others. There is no problem finding files and playing via wmp and HTC player. Just Picture/Video TAB doesnt show all the video files what i have. There is folder and when I click albums there is information 8 files inside but when I get into the forder I can only see 1 file there. Any Idea what is going on?
I am working on Artemis 15.5 and never checked this when had stock rom.
all movies converted using the same program and the same settings.

I've got some trouble with the music player and maybe u can help..
Is it ok that my samsung galaxy s music player don't switch to the "Disc view" when I rotate the phone in landscape mode?
The music player rotate too but no way to see the Disc View ..i need to go to the settings an tap on "Go to Disc View" to activate it...
i saw a lot of youtube video where i can see the automatic switching of the Disc View when turning the phone in landscape mode...
why my sgs dont do it?
ivan
Mine used to do the CD view automatically, but since I flashed to JM2 it does not do it any longer, like you I have to switch manually, but it does not really bother me TBH so I haven't investigated it any further.
same here...i've got that firmware so probably it's a "problem" of the JM2....
thanks for ur answer
another question:
do u know a good music player widget? thanks
