HTC Audio on 6 Tab Today - Touch CDMA General

Has anyone been able to get the HTC audio player to play from the music tab on the Today v2.1 plugin. I installed the HTC audio player, which I like, and it plays fine when launched from programs. I also would like to get it to work from the tab on the Today screen. I configured it in HHC to use the HTC player, but when it goes to launch, it comes back with an error. I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that it is installed somewhere other than the default location, but I'm not sure what that location is and I haven't figured out how to change where the today launcher is pointing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes just use the HTC Home Customizer to change the default Media Player for the plugin.

I must have had someone's knockoff version of the HTC audio player installed because once I uninstalled it and installed the one I found on here, it worked fine. Apparently there is a difference between Audio Manager(Bad) and AudioManager(Good). Probably the same as the issue with Live Search and LiveSearch. Thanks for the help.

How to use (back,play,fwd) button in HTC Audio Manager on HTC Home plugin?

Hi, I have HTC Home6 plugin, along with HTC audio manager 1.02 installed.
However, the button on home plugin (back,play,fwd) does not work.
I have to actually open htc audio manager in order to play the songs. Did I miss something?
Also, can HTC audio manager sorts songlist by title?
or display chinese/japanese fonts in playlist?
When you use the tab to open your player - what player does it open?
If it opens WMP (which mine did by default) you need to edit the registry and change WMP to Audio manager. Wait a bit, turn the pda off the soft reset.
*I think* it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Music Plug-in\ and there is a value in there which needs to be changed from 1 to 2.
Values:
1 = WMP
2 = Audio Manager
Yes, but he means the buttons on the HTC Home player do not work, which is true.
I found you need to actually open the HTC player, start playing a song or playlist, THEN minimise (while its still playing) it and you can control it from the HTC Home plugin.
How can i edit registry? Do i need to type regedit somewhere like in windows?

You need to install a registry editor. PHM Registry Editor is a very popular one and is free.
As I said above, changing that registry entry will only change the default media player. It WONT solve your problem.
well i think this is no problem, but the plugin is created to work like that, you have to launch the player then press ok button(the hardware one) to minimize and then control it trough the plugin. The same thing is with WMP today plugin, the plugin does not play the music, it launches WMP

Just think about it briefly. How can Audiomanager / WMP play any song if isn't running? That is a bit weird idea.
Same here xplode. Otherwise how else would you choose what music to start playing?
I only said what I said as I know that the control don't work for me IF I use WMP. If I use the audio manager the controls are fine once I've set it playing.

I think you need to re-read my post...this DOES work...you start the media player then MINIMISE it (not close it) and the plugin controls will be working...So I think you may need to think about it briefly...
I have the problem to
If i click on launch music wmp starts. but if wmp plays a song and i minimize wmp the plugin control doesnt work no title song or play or pauze.
You need to re-assign the HTC music player to HTC Audio manager for the buttons to work.
There's a HTC Home customizer floating around somewhere in the forum.

Sorry. I haven't noticed I quoted wrong post. It was a reaction to the first one.
Hi biohead. Do you know the registry setting where I can change the default message application when i click on the message on the HTC Home. If I click on the envelope it points me to the MMS application instead of the outlook mail. Please help.

Another reason
I known the reason why my device stopped all and no sound when using audio manager 1.02. Audio manager does not support 4GB SD card (Trancend economy). When I exchange it with my friend (his device uses 1GB SD card), the problem does not happen. Otherwise he use my SD card, he got the same problem as I did.
Hope, this post would be helpful for someone. Thanks

Change Music tab from Audio manager to WMP?

Hi, by any chance I can change the music tab to use the windows media player instead of HTC audio manager?
Audio manager is not bad, but firstly, I have a lot of WMP playlists already, and would like to use them to play music. Secondly, I also have a lot of music video those can only be played by WMP, not audio manager.
I know you can change the internet tab default program to IE. Any similar tweaks we can use to change the default program in the Music tab to WMP? , Thanks!
For your playlists, you can use PlaylistMgr to convert them to HTC Audio Manager format. Never tested... but I suppose it'll be ok.
And I don't understand why you want absolutly to use the music tab to open WMP... just add a shortcut in Program Launcher (and then, disable those unused Manila tab !).

Thanks. Just downloaded the playlistmgr.
Regarding your question, I just thought that with a Music tab in my touch flo 3D works with WMP would be really cool and useful. You can play your video files as well as mp3s just from the today Tab, that would be really nice.
I do not like the audio manager. Although WMP is far from a wonderful player, but still is far better than the audio manager. (just my 2 cents.)

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.

HTC Music - Media Player Change

Do you know the registry setting where I can change the default player on Home Screen Tabs from HTC Music to Windows Media Player. I found this on the forum
HKLM\Software\HTC\Music Plug-in\ and there is a value in there which needs to be changed from 1 to 2
but i don't have Music Plugin in there.
Help please...

Hello, could you be more specific? Reason i ask is mine has just stopped working and resets the HTC Sense back to the main 'home screen'.
The way mine does not work is if i use the home screen tabs slide across to 'music' it hangs then resets. If i go start/music same thing, but if i go start/file explorer/'music file' it loads and play's.
FYI: Mine was bought from 02 yesterday in Manchester.
Is your's the same?
Regards
BB
