S2P screen backlight

A_C Your apps S2p and S2V are great and I am only too happy to donate to their continued development.

I have one question, I use SE Xperia X1, and would like to keep the screen from turning completely off so quickly. It means I have to press the power key when I want to use the S2P controls. In the car it can be fiddley.

It would be better for the screen to dim after a set time, but not turn off. (Maybe turn off completely after 5 minutes of untouch).

Are these configurable in the Registry under ACOffLCD or OffLCD. What are values to use.

It would be good to have an explanation list of the Registry options.

BTW, I dont use S2U2 as I prefer other UI setups.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holy_moly:
OK I see, THX for that info!

So I have to create my own QVGA finger friendly skin for pocket player. :(

Because it's the only audio player that supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) when using Widcomm BT Stack! :cool:

OK, and it has a lot more features then S2P. But I have to pay for it. :mad:

And no S2U2 support :(

But I really need AVRCP support for my car stereo and hands free stereo headset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
These settings are already available with S2U. Just download S2U and turn of "Lock when Backlight turns off", "Lock when Screen is Blank" and "Lock when device wakes up" and S2U shouldn't come on(I'm about 80% sure about this, A_C should be able to correct me if I'm wrong).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pokdub:
Tks for suggestion, but as I said I dont want to use S2U2 just to control a backlight for S2P.

I am hoping there is some control within S2P itself.

Rgds

PS

Experimented with registry settings and entry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P:OffLCD

and changed value from 19 to 00

This seems to keep screen alive the way I want, hope this helps others with same requirement. Maybe 19 is the default time value, and 00 means no screen timeout value, A_C ??

Player looks great, but. . .

Hi, I've got a little problem here - the songs don't play. I'm sorry if someone already said this but I couldn't find any mention of it. When I go to play a track, it looks like it's playing, with the song position bar stuck at about 1/10th of the way through, but it doesn't play!

Also, with regards to playlist, I have the same issue as a previous user (I click on it and it shows an empty folder), but I tried what you suggested and put the file in my music directory, and still no songs show up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cerberez:
also, the artist panel only shows "music" as an artist, which contains all the albums I have loaded on my device. Too bad, it might've been a nice feature!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dreamcatch:
I am the previous user you mentioned (regarding the playlists) and I also still have the problem that the list stays empty even though I've copied it to the music folder. Could the problem be related to the fact that all of my songs are organized in subfolders (which are automatically created by Windows Media Player when I sync the songs from my PC)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pokdub:
Cerberez, songs wont play ?

I had similar problem which really threw me, but I am embarrassed to say that I overlooked the volume slider was set completely to the left.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cerberez:
Holy crap! you're right! I just assumed that bar at the bottom was the one that showed your position in the currently-playing track! It actually is the volume bar. Wow, I feel like an idiot.

Thanks!

I actually kind of like this player. . . If only mp3s worked!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cerberez:

I actually kind of like this player. . . If only m3u worked!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cerberez:
I think I maybe just ruled out the possibility that the problem is caused by subfolders. I created an m3u playlist containing all the tracks on one album (ghetto blaster, by socalled). The mp3 files are stored under my storage >music>socalled>ghetto blaster. I tried opening the playlist file when it was stored in my storage>playlists, and it showed up blank. I deleted it and moved it to >music, still no luck. deleted and moved it to >socalled, no luck. deleted it and moved it to >ghetto blaster, didn't work.

also, "set library" as mystorage the first time (when the m3u and mp3 files were in separate directories) and reset it as mystorage>music each subsequent time I moved the m3u file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dsnuts002:
First I would like to say thanks for all your hard work on this great app.

I was just hopping that it would be possible for it to scan for playlists that are in the playlists folder that WMP creates when it syncs. That would help those of us that create them on our PC's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cerberez:
well, m3u playlists should be working. . . I'm curious if they work on your device, actually. Go to the playlist pane (where you drag/drop songs into the playlist on the *right*), right click on the playlist name and select "save as," and choose m3u. Put the resulting file in your music folder on your device.

When you try to open it through s2p, do the tracks show up?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunwee:
I have a weird problem, and searching thru this thread I didn't come across any similar complains.

Basically I try to start S2P tapping on the icon, the Winmo busy comes up for a while, and then nothing! S2p didn't manage to run. However, after a soft reset then I can start S2P. Then after leaving my phone on for some time...say a day or so, then problem arise again.

I am running stock Windows Mobile 6.1 HTC Diamond2 rom, and I start S2p from an icon placed on the Mobile Shell 3.5 screen.

Version 0.73 is my only install and I've never installed any previous version before. Also I think I am running everything on default setting.

Could there be a conflict with something? Hope someone can give me a clue. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryomahino:
Well Im using throttlelauncher, and use a S2P page for use your music player, inside this page I use 2 icons to view if the tracklist is "shuffle" and "random", in previous version this icons read the registry in dword without problems, now with the binaries dont work:confused:

I ask to the creator, and says that is complicated to read the reg in binaries itself.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Szymad:
Hi,

this player is amazing!

Do chance be on equalizer in newest version ?

I really need this.

Sorry for my english.

I think if you read back a little, you'd find 'no' is your answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] valivan680:
Hi everybody!

I love this software, that's much more functionnal and finger friendly than Windows Media Player ;)

But I have a problem: yesterday i flashed my Omnia I900 with a 6.5.1 ROM (the 23060 ROM by Kuanchai), and I can't launch S2P :'(

Is this because of the new version of WM 6.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MattJ1989:
I have seen it a few times here but it's not clear.

Running the OpenGL version doesn't allow me to use TouchFlo3D anymore (until I quit it). I install the non OpenGL version and everything works fine.

I am using a TouchPro 2 with Tom's ROM with 6.5/TF3D 2.5.

Will there be a fix or is this a limitation with OpenGL on Windows Mobile? Since I expect TouchFlo is using OpenGL causing this conflict.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunwee:
ok, I think I've narrowed it. Someone running Mobile Shell 3.5 also has the same problem http://spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29052&sid=6ae3f0ae007f2b2f3adb32630c0b6e79

I hate to give up either apps...both are great it what they do. But I think I'll have more luck requesting AC to fix the problem than SPB (eventhough they are they commercial one...their support really is quite bad!)

So here's hoping AC will look into this. Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunwee:
Yes conflict with Opengl seems possible. Because MS3.5 also uses acceleration functions.

I'll try the non Opengl version and report back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunwee:
Installed the nonOpengl version. Try launching and exit a few times, so far working as expected.

Think very high likelihood of conflict with shells that uses gfx acceleration.

non-Opengl is not bad, except flipping between cover view/playlist is slower. Scrolling also felt slower.

Hopefully AC will find the source of the conflict. Thanks again for the app!

Bug with omnia i900

Anyone can help me? Igot the latest versions of sus2 and s2p and got the following problems with my omnia i900.

My Powerkey is broken, so I have to use the other keys to wake up my phone from the blackscreen, but when ever I'm using s2p in combination with sus2 I cant wake up my phone with the front keys or the rec key anymore, which works fine if sp2 isnt playing. I have to unplug an replug the headphone to wake it, this is kind of annoying.

A nother thing I noticed is, that I cant access the top bar of the player, so I cant close the player by clicking in the top right corner. I noticed that when I touch this place on the screen its like I pressed a litle bit more below and it turns from cover to playlist. In the previous versions it was at least possible to switch to landscape where I could close the aplication by clicking in the top right corner.

any help would be great!!!

thx in advanced.

PS: great AP ..love it beside these problems :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zhvihti:
I have Omnia2 which has 8GB internal memory (\My Storage) and 8GB card (\Storage Card).

It would be great if S2P could support multiple libraries. An alternative is to be able to set "\" as library which is currently not possible from within the program.

But there is a workaround:

Edit the registry at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P setting value LastFolder to "\".

Go into S2P, refresh the library and you will be done.

Drawback is that all sorts of system and application audio files will appear as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MattJ1989:
You try just taking the stylus out a bit that unlocks/wakes it up, less annoying than removing the headset...

If not... looks like you have to get your power button fixed or use an older version.

S2P Manilla Tab

Please forgive my inexperience, but I was just wondering if there was a way to make this a Tab in Manilla 2.1 or 2.5. Even if it could be made into a today plugin and Manilla Today Page used to make it a tab, I would use this instead of the standard Music Tab.

Just a thought. What do you think A_C?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] valivan680:
Hi

i found a solution: I installed first S2P v0.58 and then, I scanned my library

After that I installed S2P 0.73 and it works now

Hope that will help you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hlamer:
Hi A_C!

S2P 0,73 works on my Diamond2 WM 6.5 with problem.

After minimization there is a black screen and nothing occurs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MattJ1989:
Try using the non OpenGL version, that should fix it. Seems to be a limitation/bug of OpenGL (TouchFlo3D/S2P).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toberino:
Disable the screen off

I really did not go through all of this forum for the answer but I was just hoping to get a reply from someone. I would like to completely disable the screen off and just let the backlight turn off but keep the player showing without having to hit the power button to turn my Verizon Omnia i910 back on for control again. I sit at my desk listening to music pretty much all day and I skip thru songs a lot. Is there a reg edit to disable this completely? I'm using the new beta version. Thanks.

Nate

Another thing...

I am using PhoneEx and when someone calls and I ignore or answer the call I no longer have volume for S2P. Any answers??

Mobile Shell 3.5 and S2P 0.73 beta issue

I have an xv6800 running the stock HTC R2 rom. When I am running Mobile Shell 3.5 and I am playing mp3s with S2P 0.73 beta, if I shut off the screen with the power button then it will play for another second and then cut out, when I turn the phone back on all sound is gone and won't return unless I do a soft reset. Anyone know how to get this fixed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wolfkmann:
Read the Very first post. You need to edit "Powertweak" in your registry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mykbaker:
Actually I tried that and other than playing an additional few seconds it did the same thing.

On the Mobile Shell Issues forum someone told me that they didn't have this problem if they installed S2U2. I did that and the problem is gone now.

how do i get s2p off of shuffle,i never had it on shuffle and suddenly it's on shuffle and i can't seem to turn it off
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karan999:
please switch on V 0.73 album view as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hlamer:
Thank you!

Version with out OpenGL worked on my TD2!

In what in general a difference between OpenGL and not OpenGL?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MattJ1989:
Nothing is different, except the animations/album covers run smoother on the OpenGL version as they are accelerated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cferd:
Hi,

@ A_C, Thank you for keeping the v0.58 link up. This new version, v0.73, doesn't work so well on my Sprint Touch. I went back to the old version. My phone really likes that one best :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] erto90:
which is the best version for samsung omnia?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] valivan680:
I think the best version youo can use for the I900 Omnia is the non OpenGL version. I have an Omnia and the 0.73 version works fine ;) (I just regret there is not the Cover flow...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] erto90:
ok tried 0.73 but without cover is boring.. then i'm using 0.58 version, it's very fast also if not opengl!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JeffATL:
thanks a_c

i am using s2p on the tp2

i am using a microsd card that was formally formatted for vzw cell phones... i have my music in the my music folder of the card where it sees no problem, when i click on set library and click the arrow to try and see a subfolder in there - it just takes me to the list of songs... its hard for me to access the subfolder in the my music folder on the card
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hathetran:
whenever i use s2p...the album art that shoes is for a different song...how do i attach the proper album start with the corresponding song? thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] whipstitch:
>> added support to MP4/AAC as long as the device already

>> has the corresponding WMP decoder.

My WMP plays ogg files (which is the bulk of my music library).

Any chance you can enable support for that codec as well?

Will there be a OpenGL qvga version? (Iguess KS20 is the only one capable without patched drivers)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rscreen:
Just about to try beta.73 but just wondering people's views on 0.58 and battery usage.

Since seeing S2P I decided to use my diamond for mp3's at the gym (was using old sony walkman phone just for mp3's).

Anyway i'm not entirely sure if its down to the ROM or S2P but it really really drains the battery listening to music, just wondering how long others think their Diamond's will last. With a good 1-2hour my battery will be way below 50% (never remember actual figures, but always shocked to see the lack of battery left)

Thanks in advance

Rob
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Anybody has any idea why S2P will close down within 10-30seconds after I turn off my screen?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c0d3917:
Just a quick ?. I have used S2UL for some time now and love the program. In S2UL a small banner scrolls across the lower portion of the screen during first run and then disappears. I have just installed and begun using S2P and the banner scrolls across the bottom, but seems to get stuck. I am wondering how I might remedy this, or if someone can instruct me what I may need to do to remove the scroll completely. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] style1:
the annoying banner is put there by the creator showing he is the developer of the program and that it is infact freeware because people were selling it online as their product and charging for it. of course he could just start feeling unappreciated and start charging for the product on his own...or he could keep it free and keep that extremely minor scroll at the bottom..i dunno..seems worth it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
I got fed up with it too and looked through the S2P.exe program code with a Hex Editor and replaced the text (cannot remember where I found it!!!) with spaces. And because I have a PocketPC and not a phone based device, I also replaced the text "No Service" at the top left hand corner with "S2P", which I thought was more fitting and a small tribute to the Author (having removed his other scrolling banner, it was the least I could do). You have to be careful in changing the text - make sure the spaces occupy the same number of bytes and sometimes the text message appears in more than one place. Sacrilege eh, A_C? I have not, and will not distribute the changed progam. It is for my own personal use.

This seemed to work for me!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JeffATL:
Sometimes when I am using this app I have no ideas how to access the menus. The library is set to my entire my music folder on my microsd card which is pretty well organized. If I hit the arrow key on the top left it only navigates within the album and there I cannot bring up the full list of songs in my library or the menu bar on the bottom???

SmartLyrics for S2P

I have only tested this on WM6.5.1 and you must have mortscript. Install the cab and .lnk will be in the startmenu.

@A_C maybe you can add this to run from S2P :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hachiroku:
is it just me or can nobody power off their screen's if the music is playing.

on my diamond, older versions would auto blank screen while playing or i could use the power button... this version if the song is playing it won't blank the screen, nor let me press the power button to blank the screen.

other than that i'm very happy with the new build minor things here and there but nothing to stop me from using the app.

oh, i tried both the VGA and OpenGL VGA versions. same issue. also tried with that power registry item, it didn't help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bodisson:
What happens: S2P reads album art from mp3 if it exists (or from folder if it's included there). Skips to next song which have no album art associated, so previous album art remains shown.

There are 2 ways to solve this:

1. Organize songs as stated in FAQ - by artists, albums and so on.

2. Embed cover art in mp3's. There's a lot of software which can do that, and this approach is only solution if you don't have organized songs as requested in FAQ - i.e. if you have all songs in same folder as I do.

Hi,

thank you a lot for your work, I really appreciate it.

I bought a htc remote control headset. While the volume control works perfectly fine, it's not possible to use the play/pause and forward buttons.

Would it be possible to support these?

2 issues ive noticed

sorry if this is repetitive; using my phone and have limited time to read all the posts. running latest version on touch pro 2 vzw. 2 things ive noticed: cant minimize or go to other apps while listening to music. pressing the end key will minimize but results in disabling the four front buttons as well as the keyboard...quitting doesnt solve it, but a soft reset gets functionality back. 2nd: i turned shuffle on once and now everything shiffles. cant listen to an album straight through, it just shuffles to another song. even after soft reset and trying playing artist or album or even songlist, it all shuffles.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Try tapping the top right corner of your screen to minimize. Though on my Elf, there's no RAM to do anything while music is playing ;o

Sorry if this sounds bad, but have you turned off shuffle?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] validoption:
Good call on the minimize...I had thought that was what I needed to do, as I had this installed on my samsung i760, but when I did it on my TP2, it either wouldn't work or would switch from album pick to album song list...just tried it with the stylus and it worked...guess my finger wasn't as precise :)

As far as turning shuffle off, I could just be missing it, but I don't see that option anywhere. The only thing I can find to try is pressing shuffle again, which doesn't do anything but start a shuffled list.
