I have Sprint Mogul,...in album view when i slide along the left or right side...

it does turn landscape to coverflow...but unfortunatley it does not show any other albums on the left or right sides...it's just blank.

my album cover jpegs are labeled folder.jpg and all show nicely when i'm listening to songs but unfortunatley they don't load in cover flow

my files are arranged

storage card/music/genre/album/mp3

any help would be appreciated.....or if there is a previous post i missed that address this...please advise. THX!!!

simple solution to this!

(tho it had me stuck too!!!)

1, go to main screen where you can press play, volume, next track etc

2, hit the arrow in top left corner once

3, your now in a screen with an "arrow" in the bottom left (also has "now playing" and "quit" on this screen) hit the arrow till you get to the root of your storage card, its really just a simple file manager here.

4, find the file you keep your music in and press once

5, you now have a list of all the tracks in the folder where you keep your music. press any one of your tracks.

6, music starts to play.

7, run your finger/thumb up or down the right of the screen to go to cover flow.

8, you will now see all the albums and any artwork that you installed with each album,you can then change albums as you like.

Also when you next start S2P you will start on the last album you played so you dont need to go to the file manager again.

its really simple when you get an understanding of what the software does!

:) very cool ap :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugeyes:
just noticed you also have a file for each genre of music,

storage card/music/genre/album/mp3

i dont have this in my file structure just,

storage card/music/artist/album/mp3

so its possible that cover flow may just try and flow between each genre (if you had images to each genre)

be interesting to see if A C could implement "Genre Flow" in a future release to cut down on the swiping to find albums ! :cool:

EDIT

just tried altering my file structure to get a "genre flow" (if you like) used some art work from two of my music files in two genre files, with all the music spread between the two genre files S2P still shows all the album artwork in cover flow though it does rearrange the albums in the alphabetical order of the two files first,

so if genre file "a" had nelly furtado and genre file "b" had kylie minogue (for example!) the cover flow would show nelly furtado first then kylie second.....

cover flow seems to arrange by the first letter of an artists name so to get your albums in true alphabetical order you need to call artist files "Furtado Nelly" depends if it bothers you finding Nelly furtado in the same place in the row of covers as say Nirvana.

wandered of the point here but its kind of valid.......

so i suppose you can get a kind of basic genre listing if you stick with this file structure

storage card/music/ambient/artist/album/mp3

storage card/music/rock/artist/album/mp3

storage card/music/world music/artist/album/mp3 ...........etc!

you just have to flow through all your albums still to get from say ambient to world music genre........ A C...???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anaelechi:
it worked like ah CHARM!!!!....i didn't have to redo my file structure either...

all the time i had been pressing the arrow to enter a folder instead of clicking on the folder name...

it works perfectly now that i understand the navigation.

when i click on a particular music genre folder (instead of arrow) cover flow displays only those particular album covers...which is what i wanted

thanks alot bugeyes!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robi_:
THX a lot! it works now :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugeyes:
Glad i could help!

what do you think of my genra flow idea? would save going into the file manager every time! may be cool!?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugeyes:
i take it you both know of "srs wow hd" if not down load it asap it really improves the sound of your mp3's even over A2DP.........:D

oops of topic sorry!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anaelechi:
thanks for the tip on optimizing sound....

i think a genre flow...would definately be cool...

but i only have like 6 genres...and i tend to stay in a genre...for hours...(or days at a time) so for me...it's not too big a deal...

[BUG] display switches problems...

First thanks for this very beautiful program! :cool:

I have just noticed a little bug that maybe others have found:

a- from a "portait view" configuration, s2p works very well

b- if I swap to landscape mode and try to launch s2p, everything is blocked i just can play music with the pad but the screen is freezed on today page and the only way to exit is the reset button... :(

c- if i reboot my pda in landscape mode, and launch s2p again... the same...

d- if i reboot my pda in landscape mode, and switch to portrait mode and launch s2p, s2p launch almost correctly... it just keep the landscape mode in portrait mode (so it does not display a correct screen because its in 320x240 in the 240x320 mode)... not easy to explain... (and im french)

e- finally, if i reboot my pda in portrait mode, and launch s2p its ok...

Ok i understand that s2p only works in portrait mode, but the configuration (d) can be problematic, as it looks like it will work in landscape and moreover all those reset were about to make me abandon the test to have the program working...

hope it can help...

PS: my pda is a airis t620
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SultanH:
Playlists support would be wonderfull.

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0k0m0k0:
oups I've just noticed that landscape mode works for some other devices... is it linked to the device or to wm5 and wm6 versions?

Yet the bug explained in my last message is very well reproductible...

HTC Remote Controller (W100)

Hey everyone!

First off, excellent app A_C! Running perfectly on my Tytn 2!

I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with S2P and the HTC W100 Wired Remote Controller? Its designed to work with WMP but I was wondering if anyone has been able to test it with S2P?

Surely it will just basically remap the keys to the remote, so the call button on the remote has the same ID as the call button on the phone.

Just I know A_C cant test this himself as he's previously said he doesnt own any HTC device, but if we can find out how it maps its buttons with the phone hopefully we can get it working with S2P (If it doesnt work already!)

M4A Files

Hello!

I installes Mi_MediaSupportv2.cab and can the Play M4A-Files in Windows Media Player on my LGKS-20. How can I play that files in S2P? Any ideas?

Regards,

Bernhard
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruebyi:
Hi A_C!

After using the Player a few times I have the same Problem again!

The Player isn't saving the last played music! I checked registry and everything is as it should be...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
It's definitely a device specific problem, other users reported P3600i also has this behaviour. Since I don't have these devices, I don't know how to solve it.

It sounds like when you quit S2P, the registry values cannot be saved by S2P. Try to check what other programs you have installed. So, it's not because you're using a German device (but maybe related to a custom ROM) or anything related to "Safemode".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Actually, both S2U2 & S2P share the same graphical engine... & both already hard-coded that "DirectDraw" will be disable on some device (even you try to turn it on by S2U2 Settings) including Touch Dual.

Could you provide more info on what you mean by "hang"? When you quit S2P by pressing the "Answer" key, there is a file S2P.LOG created under the installed folder. Please send it to me.

I always want to shorten the FAQ list, but it's really not an easy task...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mmick:
Settings:

The behaviour of S2P can be altered by changing the following registry values stored at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\

Can you make a built-in menu for this (and some other options) please?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. The Album View only show a few covers even there a lot different music files stored?!

A. You have to organize the files into folder structure like \Artist Name\Album Name\Music title.mp3, otherwise it won't be recognized by S2P.

I know you (and we) want S2P to be simple and fast but as lots of people have folders with several artists & albuns or folders by genre and it´s very unpractical to change all of them, could you build an option/program to build a database file or folder with album covers?

This way when we touch a cover and it opens the list of musics on that folder and it (now) takes a few seconds and sometimes pauses the music doing it, perhaps that way reading a database file it would be faster + on album view we would get *all* album and not only the first one on each folder. If someone adds more musics, it only needed to reconstruct the database. I think IMHO that this way would make S2P faster, smoother and would solve some issues at least on 200MHz devices (my 400MHz TyTn pauses a few seconds when I press a cover to list the MP3 on that folder)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another issue is the MP3 list above the MP3-tag upper bar. When I play a music and press on the cover to show the MP3 list on that folder, it not only takes 2-3 seconds + several pauses on the music, but the list when scrolled up gets above the upper bar. When this happens the names on the list + MP3 info on the top bar get confusing *as the top bar is semi-transparent*. If the top bar was not transparent this wouldn´t happen, can you make an option to disable the transparency of the top bar with the MP3 info please?

Can the FF/FW/Play-Pause Icons be bigger and also appear on the panoramic album mode + MP3 info. I suggest on the top screen as on the panoramic album mode the top screen has nothing

I also suggest that we could minimize S2P to the "Home screen" and then we saw the MP3-info scrolling and, when pressing it, S2P would open again

thanks very much for this app. It´s great!!!

Hi A_C,

first of all thank you for your help!

When I enable Direct Draw on my phone (XDA Star) S2U2 and the S2U2Settings-Programm is not working any more. I have to reset the option in the registry to "0", then its working without problems. Maybe the issue is that my phone is not on the "exclude list" for Direct Draw?

I will send you the LOG via private message.

HTC Remote Controller (W100)

Hey ppl,

I was wondering if there is any software (or if anyone cud make some) that wud detect what key presses are sent to the device by the headset.

As I can get one on ebay for £15 delivered I'm wondering if we can find out what the key ID numbers are that the headset uses, we can get it to work with S2P.

I no most devices have a diagnostic mode where you can test the buttons, but don't have a clue if this is true for WM devices, or their accessories.

All being well I'll be able to order the headset within the next few days, but it says it takes 7-14 days for delivery :(!

I hope someone can help me with this as I love S2P and really want to be able to use it with the remote control headset!

M_Taylor40
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruebyi:
Hi A_C!

I've got a "normal" O2 German Rom with WM6...

The curious thing is, it worked for while, so I checked, wich programms I installed after S2P and there are some games:D and:

SRS WOWHD (could this be the "bad" Programm?)

WM5Storage

Batterystatus

TCPMP AAC Plugin

Thats it! (I made a hardreset 3 days ago, thats why I know it for shure)

Hey A_C :) wonderful work

What about other bt stack AVRCP support, is there some progress? thanx in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0k0m0k0:
Thanks for the answer...

Here are some precisions about the device: the AirisT620 is a clone of mio-p550 (more well known and used so if users of this pda can confirm the bug...)

And with the other great program s2u, the landscape/portait mode worked perfectly...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] booterr:
Personally, I am used to have the song progress bar on the bottom, instead of volume control.

It would be nice if this could be configurable (even through register editing).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ludachrisvt:
I have installed this on my sprint touch (vogue). There seems to be a problem with the album view. The artist/album information is kind of messed up. Also the album transition is not as smooth as our iphone counterpart.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nagrom Nniuq:
A_C, with version 0.39 S2P will not roatate to landscape. With version 0.38 it will. Just a bug I noticed.

Awesome app as are all your apps A_C.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Diagorn:
any bugs I noticed :

1 : in portrait mode, for to have the list of the song it is very slow.

2 : To put the software to have the album cover it is ver very slow

3 : Il the albim cover, same problem than the first bug, it is very very slow to have the list of the album
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0k0m0k0:
strange cause in my case it works: I can have the landscape coverflow with the side screentouch... yet the program does not work from a landscape configuration on my ppc...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruebyi:
Hi A_C!

I tried to uninstall SRS WOW HD, and my device crashed, so I had to make a Hardreset... :( I had Backup with the configuration when S2P worked, but now it doesn't! I have no clue whats happening...

Is there someone with the same problem?

ruebyi
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mmick:
Well, S2P does not use a database (like a small xml file that could be manually made when you add more MP3 and then this file would be loaded to memory - should take only a few KB of memory) and so it has to read from the SD card the list. WM devices do not do multitasking or I/O tasks very well so playing a MP3 + reading fast the SD Card + GUI is very "hard" for them.

My 400MHz TyTN also stops a while when both reading the MP3 and the MP3 list so most 200MHz devices should have a hard time to, probabely pausing a lot. It´s rather annoying actually...

IMHO for S2P to run smooth and have a good GUI for 2.6 - 2.8" screens:

- xml mp3/album database loaded on memory

- S2P on high priority

- higher buffer from the playing MP3/cover

- bigger icons/touch area
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kproj:
I realized it's how your albums are laid out. If you associate album art to each mp3 it slows down drastically. What I've done is stripped each mp3 of its art and resolved to just Cover.jpg in each folder with a max 300px size.

Works great on my HTC touch with 200mhz, no slowdowns even after throwing in 20+ albums.

Keep up the good work A_C, hopefully you can improve the cover flow system and implement kinetic movement on the images.

Win32 mode error?!

Hey ppl,

I just tried to run S2P today n it wont load n I just get the error "This function is only valid in Win32 mode", I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the software but still having the error.

The only change I've made was playing with a HTC Weather xml file but I ended up reverting back to the HTC stock version as I couldn't get it to work with my local town anyway.

I'm currently running TRLs WM6.1 ROM on a Vario 3, got S2U2, S2V and S2P installed, everything else is working fine.

Anyone know what the problem is?

I'll probably be doing a hard reset within the next week to update the ROM to a newer build (TRL said he was gonna release an update end of the week a few week back so anytime soon lol).

In the mean time, anyone know how to fix this?

M_Taylor40
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:

Rom wthout wmp

i have the open touch 4.1 micro and it does not have WMP. that great cause i was plannin on just using S2P. but jus found out s2p uses the decoder. can i jus work aroun this and install a decoder? anyone help? thanks. ive searched threads but o one can help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Binder:
Love this app

I installed S2P a few day's ago and i love it.

It loads fast and is easy to use. has great looks and is simply a very good app.

Good job AC!

The only quenstion I've got is how do I get the buttons on my A2DP motorola headset working with S2P? If I want to change the song now I've still got to get the phone out of my pants, turn it on and switch songs. The headset could do this if I got it to work, it works with all other apps, so that test is succesfully completed ;)

Any help would be welcome.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] M_Taylor40:
Win32 Mode error - Possible cause!

Hey ppl,

I've possibly found the cause to the "This function is only valid in Win32 mode" error that I was getting, basically it seems that the HTC WMP skin with Duttys skin pack cause it.

Once I installed it S2P would not load anymore, once uninstalled it loaded perfectly.

Just thought I'd report this back so anyone else having the issue might get it sorted.

M_Taylor40
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ralph Smeets:
Tried S2P v0.39 on my Samsung SGH-i780. Everything was correctly displayed, but the buttons where not aligned with the touch gestions. Since v0.39 fixes some problems with RealVGA, which I'm not using, I decided to install v0.38 without this fix and everything works as aspected.

So it seams that the RealVGA-fix of v0.39 breaks the compatability with a non RealVGA-Samsung i780.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fuzzywuzzyg37:
does anyone have this problem. When you are listen music and someone called you , and you resume the music back but you can't hear anything from the player. I have to do a soft reset every time that happen. Is there any fix for this? I have the latest s2p version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
That actually happened to my Tilt. But I tested it the next day and it worked? I was thinking maybe after the call I hit the center (Action Button) to unpause it caused the Bug? So after my last call I let play by itself (Pressed nothing) Somehow it worked??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wanwarlock:
reverted to 0.38 because it is more fluid on the coverflow & feels faster than 0.39.

A_C

Have you come up with the problem of the player not seeing the mp3 files in the directory tree as you have outlined? My structure in the storage card is as you mentioned, \Storage Card\My Music\Elton John\Elton John Picks, but when I select the the folders using your right arrow there is nothing listed as mp3 music songs. I can see the music songs if I use File Explorer of use the Real Music player.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cooldude_no1:
Does anyone experience fast battery drainage when using S2P (without closing it)? For me, I don't close S2P after I am done listening to it. I will just minimize it. I notice that my battery drained down to 20% in just 1-2 hours eventhough S2P is not playing any music.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sswalia:
Awesome software!

version .38 is more fluid and had it more right i think

things that could make .39 more on par:

1. map the soft keys to change the album cover in cover flow without changing the music in the player (this way you can use your buttons to find the next song u wanna hear) ... do u think this would be too taxing on the memory? possible problem i guess.

to avoid memory drainage when browsing in cover flow mode... perhaps adding an A-Z transparent alphabet scroller in the top of the coverflow view (place it right below the time, battery, radio header bar?) This would save so much time when trying to get to your favorite album and make coverflow soooo much more functional.

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

Thats pretty much it as far as criticism goes. You have created a piece of artistic brilliance here, beautiful.

Please, please please, prep this app for Android- i think u should get a piece of google's ten million for sure. I could totally see this as the flagship media player on that platform
