Hi A_C, thanks for the update.

However, have a query. Glad to see that embedded album art is supported. However, during playback, when the fullscreen album art is shown, when it switches to a track with a different album art, it shows the previous/initial track's album art, and doesn't update.

However, if during playback, I click the list view (top right button) and choose a new track, it shows the new album art correctly. Clicking it again brings me back to fullscreen album art view with the correct embedded album art. Is anyone else also facing this? Would love to have the correct album art showing for embedded art because my music is organized in folder according to genre instead of folders as albums.

Thanks for reading... :D

edit : I noticed the same behaviour when S2U2 is active. If S2U2 activates when S2P is at fullscreen album art, it won't update the album art at S2U2's page. If S2U2 activates when S2P is at the list view, album art changes appropriately when tracks change. Is this by design?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Hi A_C... Thank you for the S2P update... Below are the two bugs that i found:

1. Go to Playlist, open on the go playlist and tap done (on the top right). User is directed to playlist but the playlist(s) doesnt appear. I have to go to another view i.e. artist or album and back to playlist to view the playlist(s)

2. Changed the setting to ON in digital battery. Restarted the S2P and the song number i.e. 6 of 9 is displayed instead of battery percentage. Restarted S2P couple of times and now it is displaying battery percentage

If I start S2P with my headset connected that HTC musicplayer also starts.

Here´s a bug that i found.

If I start S2P with my headset connected to Polaris the HTC musicplayer also starts or I connect the headset to Polaris so S2P starts then HTC musicplayer will also start.

If I start S2P without my headset connected only S2P starts.

I use the HTC Polaris (Touch Cruise) with original swedish rom.

Anyone else having this problem ?

Hi,

I'm testing your last 0.80 beta version, and there are two issues:

1) I don't know why, but some times I see HTC AudioManager window when I use S2P. Maybe this is connected to library update or something like that.

I'm sure I didn't launch HTC AudioManager by myself - there is no shortcut in "Start" menu and I disabled Audio page in manila.

2) Does S2P use DirectShow to play audio? THere are two players, that work fine on my device (HTC Cruise09 "Iolite") - WMP and HTC AudioManager. All other players have "skip" bug - every 5 minutes (+-) sound is skipping for a moment. You can read more about this problem here: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3605

This is the main problem why I cannot use your great player - can it be fixed? =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] astart_start:
BUG:

1. no s2p.lnk in shortcut

2. Chinese traditional language is poor...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmasephol:
I have an Asus A626 that I use for a music player. I've been using Nitrogen but it hasn't been updated in a while and the playlist is lacking features. I'd like to try this but I don't think that it supports the resolution of the 626. 320x240. I downloaded the VGA version hoping it would work and installed but I get an error about resolution. Is this not possible? Can somebody suggest an alternative that would support the lower resolution?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zelendel:
The problem is your 320x240 is qvga, try downloading that version

v0.80 beta updated on 12 Feb 2010

@ALL

Just updated the installation files on my website with the following fixed:

- wired remote now only works with devices with TouchFLO 3D installed

(so no more weird behaviour like when starting S2P with headset connected, AudioManager will be started).

- the prev/next button of the wired remote sometimes not work after a while.

- "Always load embedded album pic" not works.

- fine tuned the option "Power Tweak"; if your device stops playback when power off, try to turn this option on.

- songs within a playlist cannot be identified because of UNICODE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Try to redownload the latest build from my website.

I'm pretty sure it's caused by the Bluetooth Widcom stack of HD2.

'of' will be added in the next release.

I would suggest GDI for HD2.

Since I don't have an Artemis on-hand, I think it's not supported.

Any error message?

Try to redownload the latest build from my website. Check out the "Power Tweak" option.

Yes, S2U2 is required for that function.

Try to redownload the latest build from my website.

I'm not sure if Omnia 2 supports hardware OpenGL.

RawBuffer is the fastest but may not be accessible in some devices; DirectDraw is the second fast but usually does not work in old devices; GDI is the most compatible but a bit slower.

Try to redownload the latest build from my website.

I can't reproduce your said problems, please try to be more detail.

Watch the system free memory.

Try to redownload the latest build from my website.

1) Try to redownload the latest build from my website.

2) S2P uses WMP for the playback.

But smartphone is not supported.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Embedded album art works great now. Thanks for the fix. :D

I noticed that S2P creates a folder.jpg from the first embedded album art if it doesn't find any in the folder. So it will be a good idea for the user to put a generic folder.jpg if he doesn't want every song without embedded album art to have the same album art as the first song played.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MicAlter:
I also can confirm that the bug with the embedded album pic is history - thanks A_C.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Goodge:
It definately does. Are you using OpenGL 1 or 2? We only have official support for 2, but Chainfire from modaco.com has built 1 support which nearly everyone there puts on their device to get native 1 support.

Just wanted to chime in and thank you for S2P! It's really come along and I look forward to its future improvements!!! cheers..;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BeefJerky9:
I really, really want to like this player, but there's a couple of issues that are preventing me from doing so. I'm running this on a VZW Touch Pro2 with the stock WM6.5 ROM.

1) Scrolling issues. I know someone else has mentioned this, and it is an issue for me as well. It seems the scrolling is just too sensitive, and thinks I'm trying to scroll when I'm not (such as simply lifting my finger off the screen). Please fix this.

2) Separate volume control in player vs. the system volume control. Since the player takes control of the side volume keys, this is an issue. I suggest making this an option. Either let us select whether to have separate volume controls, or at least give us the option to let the hardware keys still control the system volume.

EDIT: 3) I noticed one other minor bug that occurs if I'm playing an artist/album and I have repeat set to off. At the end of the playlist it will repeat the last song and go back to the artist/album list screen. The program will not give me the option to go back to the now playing screen either. It will continue to repeat that last song until I start something else or exit the program. This is fairly minor for me since I generally do leave repeat on. But, occasionally I like to let it finish a playlist and then stop as I'm going to sleep.

These are the more important issues for me at the moment. I also have 3 other things I'd like to see improved or changed.

1) Allow me the option to keep the seek/repeat/shuffle control area at the top visible at all times rather than disappearing when i touch the album art area. It would also be nice if I could have the option to make the bottom controls opaque rather than transparent.

2) Add an option for the player to be in pause mode on program start regardless of previous play state when exiting.

3) Ability to create and work with other playlists besides the on-the-go one. I'd like to have a couple of different ones that I can edit and work with within the player.

4) Allow the option of reading the tags (as opposed to going by folder/file structure) for everything including browsing by artist or song. I understand that this will mean taking extra time to update a database when I change my music, but for me the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

One question, which I think I already know the answer to. I tried the OpenGL version, and it was great with ultra-smooth animation. But, when I minimize S2P the TouchFlo3D/Sense/WhateverThey'reCallingItThisWeek doesn't show. I'm guessing that's because TF3D uses OpenGL as well. I was wondering if there was any workaround for this. I can't live with the missing TF3D when running S2P in the background, but at the same time even RawBuffer mode is quite slow to draw in S2P. Right now I'm sticking with the lesser of two evils (RawBuffer in S2P). Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks for all your hard work on this software!

cannot play wma

Hi! im using WMP 12 on my Windows 7 to sync (transcode) audio to my device HTC Hermes (WM6.1). Settings are 128kbps wma. But S2P cannot play the files :( They appear in the library but when i tap on them, it goes to the "now playing" screen, and after about a second it returns to the library. They play well on core player but i want to use S2P. Are there any newer codecs that i can download for WM? Or can i force the S2P to use the core player codec?

Can anyone please help me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lantony:
Surely this version of S2P is using Opengles v1 since it doesn't work on my Omnia2 with the latest ROM available

problem with acer neotouch

This is a really beautiful program and I really want this program to work so hopefully there is a solution. My problem is when the end of the song is reached the player 'hangs' for 15 seconds or so before playing the next song. This is not useable for a pleasant listening experience. Any suggestions or solutions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dangerously:
The "ac-s2.com" is here to stay. It was put in to show who the program belongs to. You can blame all the Ebay and other online sites who *sell* his work he provides to us for *free* under their name.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andbb:
Hi AC

Are you sure you updated the 0.80 file correctly - in the ZIP it is dated 12/2, but I am having trouble with all unicode filenames in my playlists (i.e. any music with é,æ,ø,å etc. in the file or directory name). The songs are liste correct in the songs list.

Regarding the wired headset remote control issue; is it correct that it ONLY works if audiomanager is installed in the Touchflo (opposed to previously, where you had to remove the Audiomanager tab)?

Thanks again for a nice app.

Cheers, Anders
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dracoster:
Excellent work.

But I have a couple of requests.

Could you make your software recognize HTC's .vin files for album art? It's just image files renamed to .vin.

And is it possible to have it replace HTCs audioplayer on the quicklaunch bar in Manila 2.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeverGone\RU:
I'm not A_C, but I'll answer :D

I think Manila's "Music" page is hardcoded, so it's impossible to replace it :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fingerstoo:
I agree.

However, as a long term happy user of S2P, I too think it is unsightly and I used a hex editor to look for the string ac-s2.com and replaced it with blanks in the exe file. Hence, the message no longer appears. It may be hardcoded but a hex editor, used carefully, can rid you of the message!

I keep this copy for my own personal use, so you and A_C will be happy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheGentAtXDA:
Wanted to try a newer version after I used an older one for many weeks. But it's really bad that album view is out, that was the main reason I used S2P. Even the name "SLIDE 2 Play" is now not really half as good. You have such good skillz, go for it, man!

S2P Crashing

I have S2P on my Omnia 2. With 215 albums, when I scroll down the list, around three quarters of the way down the program hangs then exits every time. has anyone else experienced this? I've tried OpenGL and standard versions with the same result.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Hey A_C,

When I go in the list, and I choose a song, altought the shuffle mode is on, the shuffle mode become off. It wasn't doing that in previous version

Thank You ;)

@+ !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jfaerr:
It doesnt freeze or hang for me, but it does stutter pretty badly. I believe this is caused by the program trying to load the album thumbs while simultaneously scrolling. Just FYI, I switched to all three display modes (rawbuffer, directdraw, GDI) and it did the same thing. The problem also persisted whether I had the "Use Faster Album pic loading codes"

Additional Suggestion: Also, A_C I love the new version of S2P, but it is in desperate need of a "Genre" category of play along side "Songs", "Artists", and "Albums". Now that things are categorized by file details like Windows Media Player (rather than Folder structure like S2P 0.40), all of my categories are quite messed up. Just a suggestion. I know I often had the old S2P play an entire "Genre" by tapping on a "Rock and Roll", or "Electronica", or "Pop' folder and tapping on the first song that popped up (allowing me to shuffle the entire Genre/Folder of songs).

Additional Suggestion 2: Have the option, if S2P is installed on the phone, to have an "S2P" icon/button appear on the unlock screen of S2U2 that will open or close S2P from the unlock screen. This would be supremely awesome and convenient for us S2P fans :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marspl:

Hi,

great job! S2P runs well on my HD2!

there are two things I am not able to fix.

1) If I turn on bluetooth and connect a (Head-)phone S2P starts but I only want it to start if I connect a bluetooth (audio-)headphones. It used to do in on my old cevice (HTC Diamond). Is it a HD2 thing? Am I doing something wrong?

2) If I assign .mp3 to S2P and I select a .mp3 in the file-explorer S2P starts but it doesn't play the song I selected. It just resumes playing the last opened song.

Any help on that?

Thanks in advance

request for small change

Hi A_C,

I have a little request for the s2p.

I own a omnia i910. For the screen size that I have on my phone it becomes a bit cumbersome when browsing for a song to play. the width to select the files is just to small. when tring to select a song,Or a album using my thumb, more time then none I end up kind of rolling my thumb a bit on the release and flinging the list up or down. I then have to navigate to it again and use the tip of my finger to select. It would be nice if you could make the selection a bit wider and increase the pressed pixel size to make selections easier. This is my biggest complaint.

Second, how about adding a shuffle all in the more button instead of just on top of each list. Sometimes I want start the shuffle all process while still playing music, but when i go to browse the music it takes me to the song playing then I have to scroll all the way up to get to shuffle all. I have about 2500 songs and I always shuffle them all. I've also noticed the the reaction of the player is quite a bit laggy when using with that much music.

I would love to get some feedback for my request. Some things may not even be possible and I wouldn't know any different.

Thanks for your hard work a_c.

FYI..the hotfix for s2u2 worked perfectly. Thank you.
