Album View screen not working right?

I love this program, and it works very well. Just the album view screen isn't working right. When i slide down the screen to go into the album view, it flips to landscape but its a blank screen outside the album cover thats playing at that moment. It doesnt show the other albums on the side and doesn't let me flip thru the albums. I have a t-mobile wing that uses wm6. any info on this would help. and great job with this program AC and good luck with future apps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramzing:
I have t-mo wing running wm6.1 and I have the same problem. Shows the current album in album view mode but nothing on the sides and I cannot flip between albums in this view.

Also something else I found that helps - keeping the embedded art in the music files to low resolutions (or folder.jpg), definitely nothing greater than 320 x240, helps if you want faster load times. Obviously, this really has less to do with s2p and more to do with the slow processor in some of these phones.

Great app overall. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Not to sound like I am pointing out something sarcastically (I am not...really)....do you have your albums separated into different folders? It may sound strange, but you really need to use the organization outlined in the first couple posts, or things like this happen.

Again....sorry if I am sounding obvious here, but I just thought I would throw that out there!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramzing:
That's a good point. I do have all my music organized as <Album/musicfiles.mp3 and Album/folder.jpg>. I also have album art embedded in the mp3 files. I wonder if that's causing a problem...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
All my art is embedded into the MP3's and S2P runs GREAT!!!! I would suggest re-organizing your MP3's into folders like this:

MP3 (folder) -> 'artist name' (folder) -> 'album name' (folder)

all songs in the folder named after the album they are from, and then you should see cover-flow working (at least it did the trick for me)!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaMilky:
Is there any fix on these please?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nickmgray:
This was happening to me when I first started unsing the program. What I was going wrong was selecting the Album folder rather than the main music folder. If you select

Memcard/music

rather than

memcard/music/album

the coverflow should work just fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steph-n:
thanks again A_C for yout program, after s2u2, s2p, it exists others?

Thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaMilky:
yes, s2v...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramzing:
Thanks syrguy! While I didn't follow your tip directly, it got me thinking in the right direction and it's working now (with my original folder structure). User error as always! I was drilling down to the 'album name' lower level folder and selecting the track to play from there, which is why none of the other albums were visible (of course, seems obvious now!). Once I went up to the top level 'MP3' folder that had all the other albums under it and selected the track from there (instead of drilling down to the album subfolder before selecting the track), everything became visible. I think I fell into the trap of thinking that s2p scans and builds a 'music library' like the apps on windows. Anyway, great app, thanks a_c!

[Added]: nickmgray, i just saw your post above. Yes that was the problem.

backlight

I have been trying to figure out how to fix the back light time. but i don't know how....the screen suddenly goes off and the music keeps playing and I keep pressing the screen or buttons and the screen wont light up again!!!!!!! is it my htc 8525 or the program?

Hi everybody!

I've juste instale s2p on my TyTN II (kaiser) and it works great!

Except the cover flow, because first of all it seems so hard do get it in...Wich movement shall i do with my finger? Because it takes me i flew minutes to get in cover flow, and the same to exit!

And when I'm in cover flow, there is a problem: i don't see all cover flows, even if I made how you say (playing music from storage music and not album)

Do you have any idea?

Thx a lot

Out of curiosity, is there a way to get the full-list of songs on the Storage Card or the ability to load a playlist?

Right now, it seems when you go to now-playing, you see per-album. A now-playing (library like) list sorta like WMP would be also very useful, especially with the sliding feature.

It's nice to have this functional though, it's replacing WMP for my MP3 needs.

Problem with file explorer

I'm running S2P v0.32, and the album flow works great and I have it set to the root of my music folder. But if Im in portrait mode and I hit the back button to view the file explorer to select an album that way all I get is the file explorer screen listing the root music folder at the top, put absolutely nothing listed. Its not showing any of my albums in that mode.

Problem Still Around...

Unfortunately I have just downloaded and tried the "new" version and the problem that I have is still there. Below is a screenshot of my file explorer screen. While playing a song, going from Landscape AlbumFlow mode to Portrait mode, if I hit the back button this is what I see. while it looks blank, the files are listed just totally invisible. They are still selectable, but all you see is a the blue selection rectangle. Could it be a Font error? Also wondering if it would be possible to change the color scheme to be a white font with black background?

Feature Requst

@ A_C

What do you think of adding a Feature Request/working on section to the 2nd post?

here are mine if you abligue?

In landscape album flicking. Tap or Tap/hold brings up play controls. Kind of like in portrate tap brings up status bar. Or maybe change the controls to be the same in either mode(portrait or landscape). Add timed auto fade out of either controls in either mode. tap or tap/hold brings them back.

Equilizer. Should I use a 2rd party equilizer for wmplayer or are you thinking of one yourself.

D-pad Play controls. left/right press next track. left/right press and hold = fast forward/rewind. Up/down press = volume up/down. Up/down press & hold = Up Max volume, down mute. Center press = pause. Center press & hold = Stop.

Album art scrolling in portrait mode.

Just a few ideas. As always they never come without a donations.

Thanks,

curious G

I'm working on the memory issue. It's now my top priority.

@curious george

I'll think about them. Actually, I do read all xda fellows' requests, but not sure which will or will not implement as my spare time is very limited. (But some requests are surely NO, e.g. I'll not use the MAD library anymore)

However, the DPAD control is already there, though not 100% the same as you mentioned.

I have one more error to add. I recently reflashed to DCD 3.0.1 clean rom, and when I installed S2P v.32 (the updated one per A_C's post above) this morning I found that the gestures finally worked for traversing back and forth through my albums in portrait mode. All of a sudden the (Rightside to Leftside) gesture to advance to the next album is now messed up and all it does is restart the current album showed from the beginning! Ghah... I am reinstalling right now, in hopes that I will get back the gesture functionality, it was awesome while it lasted.

Fast Forward question

First, I must say that I am new to the whole WM world and this is a great program.

I did a search on this question, but I was a bit confused by what I read throughout the discussion.

Is it possible to do a fast forward on a song? In one place it seemed that maybe you could do it with the DPAD, but it didn't work on my i760, I could only get it to jump to the next song.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
first of all : welcome to the WM world , second : no you don't! , I mean the fast-forward feature is not set for S2P yet , and when you press the Dpad , left and right obviousley you will change the tracks. so keep looking forward for the next releases.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robp:
Storage Memory

When I run S2P it sucks up all of the storage memory on my device (16-key Touch Dual). Even when I close it and soft reset my phone my storage memory is still consumed (all 120-something megs of it). I searched through the file system manually and could not find where my memory went. Had to hard reset :-(.

I knew it might be because of other apps I was testing, so I installed S2P right after I did a hard reset. Same problem. Had to hard reset again.

I REALLY want to use S2P. It's the only (good) media player that also works properly when I turn my phone off. Audio Manager is nice but it acts up when I hit the power button (anybody know why?).

Please A_C, offer some advice on how to fix this storage memory problem!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kalarpu:
Storage Memory

Same problem!

After I installed S2P I shifted the whole folder to my storage card.

(Even I choose storage at the begining time ,It go to main memory)

Actually I used 4GB card and I have more than 2GB free space.

But after I played S2P all my storage card (4GB) is full.

I try to do soft reset, sometime can solve but not all the time.

Any idea?

Thanks to A_C and all.

Pls let me know the file size of the \Storage Card\MSMETADATA\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb. Do you need to use the WMP's library? If not, you may try to delete this file & see if there is any improvement.

Hi A_C

Thanks for your quick reply.

I already follow your instruction but still found problem.

I test many time and I found that problem.

When I am using landscape(cover flow), sometime I need to wait to go to another cover(Delay 4-5 seconds).At that time my storage card show full memory.

After that I go back to portrait and try to off S2P.

Still Full memory.

I open S2P again and try to landscape and I saw black at the middle part(Which is normally show main selected cover).

And I go back to portrait and closed S2P.

After that my storage card is in normal stage(that mean no sucking at all)

I already try this so many times without soft reset.

Please try to solve this problem.

Thanks A_C.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kellybrf:
a_c, any chance of fixing the library? when i go to the storage card, where all my music is grouped in folders, it simply shows all of my files. they are grouped by the folder they are in (ie, folder a song 1, folder a song 2...folder b song 1, folder b song 2...etc) but with a large amount of files this is inefficient. id rather see it more like the wmp library, or a file explorer, where the storage card will take you to the artist subfolders and these will then take you to the album subfolders.

the other thing is the album art. i know someone mentioned something about versions when album art is embedded, but im not really sure how to check that. all i know is that there are files with embedded album art which shows up on my ipod/winamp, but does not show up in s2p. not a huge deal, but since i just spent about a month retagging all of my collection with art it would be nice to have!

Sorry I didn't mention that it was my device storage memory I was talking about. Not my storage card. I still have plenty of free space on my 2GB storage card after I run S2P. My device went from 90MB free storage to 0.05MB free storage.

The file you asked me about A_C is only 200kb. Is it possible that the size of this file changed after I hard reset my device?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AKFrank:

A_C Same problem, my device memory goes from +/- 90MB to .05mb once I run S2P. I have had to hard reset to get the memory back. I have tried running to ROM fix you posted but that doesn't help. Thanks for your help on solving this, the program is great and I'd like to be able to use it.

toggle S2P screen?

Hi A_C,

Is there a way for you to incorporate screen toggle for S2P? I just want the screen to be turned off when I'm using S2P to save battery power, but I still can control the S2P via the buttons navigation, like PAUSE/PLAY, NEXT and PREVIOUS. This is the same feature in the default Windows Media Player. I know you already have a similar feature by pressing the on/off button, but whenever I press the navigation button, the screen came back on. This is kinda irritating since I normally press the navigation button when my PDA is in my pocket, without looking at it.

Also, is there a way to minimize the S2P and have it play on the background?

And one out of the blue question. . . is it possible to integrate this to S2U2, in which the basic buttons, i.e. PAUSE/PLAY, NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons can appear in S2U2?

On my device, the current version of S2P is already doing what you said, i.e. when the screen is off, pressing any DPAD buttons (& even the volume up/down) can still control S2P without waking up the screen. I doubt it's because of your device's setting... something like "wake up device with any key press".

Edit: It is working fantastic!! and with the new time slider, it is almost perfect. The only feature that I could still ask for is the ability to use the Dpad to forward / backward within the file, not only from file to file. Maybe this could be added as an option to pick if you want the dpad to forward/backward within the file or between the files themselves.

Brilliant. I had some huge memory issues with the previous verison, but .38 works perfectly. Have you changed the minimize function? Both the End key and the OK key seem to kill S2P.

I am looking forward to trying S2P with S2U2!

edit:

1. Working perfectly with 3 gig of music on my storage card

2. Memory usage has halved on my Gsmart i300. It is now using 7 MB rather than 15 MB - much much better!! :)

3. I am not a huge fan of the new right and left finger swipes (right-left swipe of the finger take you to the previous album while left-right swipe takes you to begining of the song) I thought the controls in .32 were more intuitive (right-left prevous album, left-right next album).

4. when you add playlist support - it will truely be perfect
