Hi A_C, great work! But guess what, I'm still not able to enjoy all of the new features, I already tried with v.0.32 and the WMP-OCX-fix.cab and still no luck. The application wont start. The busy icon shows, runs for some time then the whole system freezes up.

I have an HP iPAQ 6945

WM5

240x240 Sq screen

Processor: PXA270-416Mhz

ROM: 128 MB

RAM: 64 MB

Free Storage mem: 19.42Mb

Free Program mem: 28.41Mb

2GB miniSD (1.6Gb music files)

WMP 10 Mobile for Pocket PC v.10.3 Build 14989

Registry Entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Skins]

"LastSquareSkin"="\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\Default(Square).skn"

"OCXSkin"="\\Windows\\wmp_WPC_ocx_96dpi.skn"

"DefaultSquareSkin"="\\Windows\\square96.skn"

"DefaultLandscapeSkin"="\\Windows\\landscape96.skn"

"DefaultPortraitSkin"="\\Windows\\portrait96.skn"

All of the files exist.

S2U2 0.99p running

S2V 0.35 running

S2P 0.10 was running ok

Please advise!

SOLVED: ID3 Tags not being displayed on all files

I had this problem as well, in trying to figure it out, I found that the ID3 tags on some of the mp3's I transfered were lost, and that is the actual reason why S2P shows the file name of the mp3 instead. Try using an ID3 tagger and check those files, it fixed them for me.

Also, I don't know about anyone else but S2P briefly skips while a song is playing in Albumflow mode and you are trying to move thru the albums at the same time. It normally only occurs when clicking the side to flip the song list back to the album cover of the album playing in order to then move around the albums.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aikidoka-mks:
Very slick, once I read that one had to start the music from the initial list of music for coverflow to work.

Hopefully this won't skip on my Sprint Touch like every other media player except TCPMP has.

Would mapping buttons be on the list? It would be great to have the screen off/locked (s2u2 hint hint) and still be able to pause/play/next/previous with the dpad or other mapped buttons.

Great work!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moguledyouth:
the finger swiping left and right doesn't seem to work in portrait mode to change the current song all it ever seems to do for me is restart the current track instead of advancing or going back. I'm on v.32 and I absolutely love this program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PeterClayton:
I am using WM6.1 on my Wizard

WMP 10.3 Build 19199

Songs stored on SD card

Right Now I have 134 Songs.

This is a really great program. thanks a million
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] !Kernel Panic!:
I had the same issue.....

hit "arrow Key" in S2P till you get to the root of your mem stick then tap the folder containing all your albums which will then list ALL songs....if you tap the "arrow key" that points right then it brings in to album view and only listing the songs on that particular album....thus only playing those album songs when you swipe left and right.

sheeeesh hope that wasn't too confusing...confused myself a little there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wanwarlock:
do a soft reset. that happened to me initially before SR. it would load up all songs/mp3 in storage card including from my gps software. once SR, u can choose the folder in sd card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moguledyouth:
It's not in selecting the mp3's, thats fine, I was having the error that the file list view wasn't displaying periodically, but I solved that by just having the main music folder open which also enabled AlbumFlow (Win win). the problem I am having is in the portrait song play screen. swiping left and right was supposed to jump back and forth through the folder like the buttons below, but for some reason all it does is jump back to the first song. I hope this is detailed enough.

Honestly these are little things in the grand scheme of things... But I figure any way I can contribute, bugs etc. may help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aikidoka-mks:
hmm, the title bar at the top has the wrong artist, the correct song and the wrong album, the album matches with the artist though. My songs are arranged as My Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3

It appears my first Artist/Album (alphabetical order) are being carried over into the others.

and darn it, I have skip problem. Hopefully Sprint support can fix it when I return their call.

AVRCP problem

I install 0.32 version with my p3600i wm6,

it can open withoout the fix bug but i found that the AVRCP function is wholly no response when i press pause.forware button in my i.tech bluetooth device....it works find with window modia player instead.!

do i need to install other file s2u2? or plugin to activate AVRCP?

hope anyone can help

thx lots
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Thyraz:
@A_C would it be possible to make closing the program easier?

pressing back --> quit --> yes

is annoying if you do it a few times a day.

the back button already acts on-release, not on-press.

How about quitting S2P by long holding the back-Button in the Main (Cover) View?

Or let us assign quit to a hardwarebutton with a registry string. (button code in hex like in game emulators)

(an pls without confirmation.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigix1:
Suggest for translation

Why this software don't use lang.ini like S2V and S2U2?

Can we hope this in next release?

Should be a good idea to include a function for choice of ini language for made all yours beautiful softwares multilanguage with collaborations of users.

I'm redy for ita translation if you want.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kasush:
You should probably read the first posts by A_C. He explains that AVRCP only works with broadcomm not microsoft bt stack.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Flexer:
Hey A_C

I noticed that since you moved to WMP engine, the app became a whole lot slower than before.. I know it's because WMP engine is slow, so you're not the one to blame..

Just wonder about some questions, and hope you'll have some time to answer..

1) Is it possible to move back to the previous engine? I remember someone proposed to have 2 cab files.. one for the open-sourced MAD engine, and the other for S2P, closed source.. That would just be so much better :(

2) Since I moved to the new version, it's window sometimes gets on top of S2U2.. I didn't do a lot of testing, but if I have the player on, and press the power button, then the next time I press it I see S2U2... but if, while off, S2P moves to the next song, then S2P window will be on top op S2U2... even if the player was minimised :)

Apart from those 2, the app is awesome!

P.S. For all those saying that they can't use album view etc.. pause the playback, and it'll be smooth.. or in the worst case a whole lot more smooth! :)

I'm using a G4 Wizard with TNT WM6 pro ROM..

Regards,

Flexer

folder question

Hi there,

first off: wow.. cool programme!

but: You say it scan's folders so i have to sort in folders in my storage card. I have done this, but my main folder is \Storage Card\My Documents\Music\

If i look from \Storage Card\ in your app it just starts listing all songs instead of giving me the proper sub folders.

on another note: it is terribly slow on my Artemis oc'd to 247mHz and after starting the first song it takes at least 30secs before it plays, i have never been able to change it to another song yet because it virtually locks, i can barely get it to quit. Could this have something to do with the (long) list of songs in \storage card\ (about 300)?

anyways: keep up the good work, looks really promissing!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] glenngould@hotmail.fr:
Like Flexer

,

i'm sure it's the best solution...

A_C, could you Simply separate software engine ?

And to propose the two engine séparément.

Your software is no longer GPL...

Only the MAD engine part.

User have choice... WMP or MAD...

Thanks A_C this is pure genius. It works perfectly on my HTC Touch (Sprint)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
I experienced an issue twice yesterday and once the day before. Its like my phone went into a "coma". not quite a sleep of death, but it requires me to either soft reset or in one case, actually take the battery out. I hadn't had this issue ever, but 2 days ago, I installed S2P 0.32 and S2U2 0.99p and since then its happened the few times.

I had been using S2U2 0.99c only previous to that ever since it was released without any issues. I don't know if either of the new installs had anything to do with it, but that's all I've installed since then. I removed both last night and reverted to S2U2 0.99c to see if it stops happening.

I have a stock Polaris. Got lots of other stuff on the phone, but again nothing else new since it started happening.

What basically happens is the phone goes to sleep mode after inactivity as normal. But it would revive. No button combination will revive it. The radio light still blinks and the phone sorta behaves like its not completely locked up and would awaken if power is pressed. But screen won't come on and no buttons do anything. (I have mine set to allow any button to wake it up and S2U2 of course to instantiate on any power up)

Anyone else see this? My inkling is it might be the S2U2 version. But, 0.99p has been around for while and I don't see others having the issue. S2P is newer so maybe it might still have some glitches. Note that S2P wasnt running at the time, nor did I even run it since the last soft reset. Once it happened within 45 minutes of the last reset.

Thanks for any suggestions!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] monkeycracker:
Awesome

Awesome program - well done A_C!

Just wondering if anyone can help me with a slight problem though: I have my phone on vibrate all of the time; but this doesn't allow me to hear music when using S2P. Therefore, does anyone know of a way to make S2P change the default Windows sound settings when used - is there a registry hack that could do this???

Many thanks,

MC

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
gently slide up or down the side of the artwork (where u can see the black bars beside the cover) , the cover will be rotated and enter the landscape album view mode.

hopes that works fo' u

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakkrith:
I would like to say thank you very much to A_C and I love software from A_C so much (S2U2, S2V, S2P)

I have tried S2P V.0.32 on my Asus P535 WM6 and found it take along time to exit the program. So I have go back to version 0.17 =='
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Flexer:
That's an extract from the GPL licence.. (took it from MAD website)

Not that I want to disregard any part of the licence, or anything.. but if you provide the program with a choice (use WMP engine or MAD engine) then this will alow you to provide your program with close source, and still be able to use the MAD engine.. after all, without the MAD engine, your app will still be independent, and if someone has a ppc with a fast cpu, then he can afford to use the wmp engine (I admit it, WMP did play some semi-corrupt files that didn't play with MAD, as well as the .32 version has a.... different sound.. I think :) )

I just hope this will help A_C with the development, as well as be morally correct.. =/

And I hope this message won't be lost in this hude thread =)

Cheers,

Flexer

s2p works well on my prophet, oc to 247MHz. no real lag apart from if i use random play
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aikidoka-mks:
I vote for using TCPMP since that's the only thing that doesnt currently skip on my device. ;)

*Just in case this came across wrong, I'm only joking about using TCPMP instead of WMP for the decoding, not to replace S2P.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zro22:
Yes, can the cover view rollback to .17?

i like the fullscreen display

Intergration

is there a Today Plugin for this, or can i use home with wmp default and it pick it up?

Also, my devices standard WMP decoder supports eAAC+ (what my entire mobile library is made of), however, S2P isnt reading them. WMP reads them just fine though, any ideas?

Ive tried looking through all the folders n setting different ones as the ones it reads, but no such luck. My naming scheme is /Storage Card/Music/%Artist/%Album/%Track.m4a (or occasionally .mp4)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mozillaxom:
Hiii A_C many thanks.....

S2P is perfect media player, i realy like

My suggestion for next version:

1.Ability for fullscreen album cover "as V.07" =Only this one reason i roll back to the V.0.17

2.More faster thank =When i launch program i have 5 second, in V.0.17 only 1 second.

3.No confirm to close = simple to close

Thanks for your time and ofcourse your hard work

Cheers

Hello A_C,

For some reason not all of my album art are displayed. Do you think you could be able to make it so that the album art from iTunes is recognized?

Thank you for your work in such a great program
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ed8widge:
Album art same prob here

Same here and I am pretty sure that I set them right . I Open a folder called "music " for all the the albums and every song in their respective album (folder w/in the"music" folder) .I cannot see why all the arts are not showing , the beauty of it is the album art . appreciate your help.

Square Screen

Hi, is there any way for me to disable the auto-screen orentiation bit.

I've got a square screen device, so the fact the album art shofts to landscape is a bit of an annoyance.

If there was an option to change this, it'd me great.

Cheers for the great software, Mike.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kemill09:
HI A_C,

Thanks man you are the best...I have all three of you apps and I love them all!!!

Hey just want to say if you could make S2P snyc with Itunes and Window media so it can pull the songs plus the album art work that would make it that much better.

once again very very good job...and Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
I don't understand what you are doing, but you have to have a folder.jpg file in each folder you want to have album art, for example, if you have two GNR albums (Use your illusion I and Use your Illusion II), then you should have a folder for each album and a folder.jpg within each folder, most of the rippers create this file automatically when you rip an original CD, some even add the album art to each song.

Hope the info helps. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vippie:
Loving this program... thank you! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] !Kernel Panic!:
also cover.jpg works:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
iTunes files are completely different compared to WMP associated files, which is why you probably can't use them. How are you even using iTunes to sync music in the first place? But, if I'm not mistaken iTunes compresses the files and types for exclusive use on their products.

**For anyone who can't see the covers, here is the easiest way to get them. Sync your media to Windows Media on your PC, and as long as you have updated song/album info, the cover will automatically be stored with that song file, no extra work needed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gkao:
album art & song list off screen

I finally got my album art to work. As Nitro said, you need to name your album art file as folder.jpg, not Album*.jpg as mentioned in the instructions. Strange, but it's now working for me.

But I have another problem - in the album view with the song list, the duration of each song isn't visible. Is this a setting somewhere?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaionta:
Regarding the picture for the album

Hi

I read the question and answer part, but i still dun understand.

Q. How to have cover shown on S2P?

A. Either the music file already has cover pic embedded or you have to copy the cover file (either cover.jpg or folder.jpg or album*.jpg made by WMP) to the corresponding album folder.

How to do attach the picture to the music folder i had ?

Please save me this noob
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] holodila:
you should have your music organized like this

music-->artist1--->album1...--->song1,song2...song#,cover.jpg

........ ........ .........

.........artist#--->album1...--->song1,song2,...,song#,cober.jpg

and you'll have your cover.jpg shown. Works for me

MANY MANY KUDOS!!!

the coverflow wasn't working for me, but i was going too many menus deep. i figured that out.

also, what REALLY ROCKS is that this player is subscription DRM compatible. i have rhapsody and i guess since thinks uses the windows engine my rhapsody sub tunes are able to play and they have album art too (i have to d/l first from rhapsody. it won't d/l album art on a regular sync)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EazyVG:
KUDOSfor great Music App but:

1. OGG support removed! Better to have this than WMA

2. It will be nice to have option to select individual folders.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srtpusher:
just to put in a request - i too liked the full screen album art and i too would like a way to fast forward or a way to drag the timeline.

oh yeah, a playlist maker - it could be an "album" in the coverflow
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srtpusher:
see i like wma better since i use rhapsody to get my music. i don't have to rip the drm off and convert the song.

i may be in the minority, but with out WMA this program is useless to me.

1.Put my attach, then rename *.txt extensions with *.ini ,Place in the same folder in your music mp3 Colections

2.Your Cover Album must be a rename with "Folder.jpg" without quote, and image must be *.jpg extensions

3.Put all: my Attach and your Folder.jpg <--- youre Abum Art

in the same folder in youre music .mp3

4.Goodluck
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaionta:
What do u mean by this ---- Your Cover Album must be a name with "Folder.jpg" within quote, and image must be *.jpg extensions
