HTC Music Tab - trouble - "htc_home_xplode_n2a" - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

As always, I did extensive search on this site and Google but was not able to obtain an answer to my problem.
Problem: When changing the default audio player from "Audio Manager" to "Windows Media Player" using "HTC Home Customizer version 1.0b5", I am not able to see the song details after the WMP is launched or use the "previous - play - forward" controls. This feature only works when using the "Audio Manager" player and I would like it to work with WMP.
Any assistance in finding a solution to my problem would be greatly appreciated.
Device info: T-Mobile MDA - Rom 10.1.0.811 WWE - XDA Mobile 6r3 - HTC Homeplugin version "htc_home_xplode_n2a". I use this version because it allows me to update the weather tab via GPRS.

Interesting, I'm running a WM 6.1 Prophet, not a Wizard, but with the same problem. I think maybe it's a problem with the version of HTC Home I installed. Back when I was using a different ROM that had htc home cooked-in, the music launch tab worked fine. I'm wondering if one of the HH_... files that htc home installs in the windows directory can't be replaced with a different version to make it work.
EDIT: Double checked, the "HH" files are all .pngs, and only determine the look of the home plugin. So scratch that idea.

A follow-up: I've solved the problem by just installing another version of HTC Home 1.5, since I needed the patch to receive the weather via proxy server (a la T-Mobile). You can find the version I used here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371591
I should note that the problem started when I changed the default music player from the HTC audio manager to Media Player; the 1.5 cab I got was from pocketemu.com was set up that way, and I used the HTC Home Customizer to change the default player. It seems that the 0.8 version of the Customizer doesn't change all of the relevant settings for the audio player tab.

Help HTC Home plugin AudioManager

I have searched the threads but found no real answers yet.
HTC home plugin installed on AT&T Tilt Rom, when you try to select start audio manager, I get The file AudioManager cannot be opened. etc etc
Audio manager is installed in my program files.
How can i fix this?
Think i read somewhere to copy the whole audiomanager files into windows directory. Will that work?
Also is there a better way to do that, don't want to clutter up my windows directory more than microsoft already has.
Thanks!
Good question. I just realize this morning that I have the same problem.
I found a fix
1) Uninstall Audio Manager and HTC Home Plugin
2) Install Audio Manager
3) Install HTC Home Plugin
4) Fixed
For some reason you have to install Audio Manager first.
You can find the files Here incase you deleted them.
Actually
It turns out the fix above only switches the player to Windows Media Player. I think the error from HTC Audio Manager is from the install. I found a different version that works fine.

HTC Audio Manager

Hello all:
I have an HTC touch ELF0100 GSM model. It comes with the HTC Audio Manager (AM) version 1.02 build 409.721 with a Black Skin. The manager sorts music alphabetically and not by track number.
I've been searching this forum, but I am very confused on which one is the newest version and if the latest version will sort tracks correctly.
I'm a heavy user of the "Today" audiomanager plugin, so I really want Audio Manager rather than WMP. I'm also very bad about installing software other than CAB files...and editing the registry creeps me out.
Can someone point me to the latest version (cab) of the audio manager and-or advise me on how I can get AM to sort the tracks correctly.
Thank you very much.

i have same problem .
we need helps!
PoorlyDuck's Diamond Audio Manager (QVGA). Also there is KidnamedAlbert's Audio Manager Other than that you could always grab an OEM version of the Audio Manager or an older version.

E100/W100 RC now works with PocketPlayer!

Breaking news!:
Well, I never gave up, so I kept investigating how to use Pocket Player with E100/W100 RC and know what? Now all keys works wonderful without a glitch, but only if the the E100/W100 device is linked to Windows MediaPlayer, here's how:
1.Install Attached MP_HTCWMPPlug_061031.CAB
2.Install PocketMusic
3.Install Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter (get it in Conduits webpage)
4.Inside Pocket Player, go to Options - Plugins, enter Configure WM Adapter, and check "Close WMP before loading" and "Intercept/Override WMP", also check "HTC WMP Control Plugin", checking both workarounds inside seems to do nothing so I kept them unchecked.
5. Close/Reopen App
That's it, all keys work now, remember if your default player is HTC Audiomanager, you must first need to change it to Windows MediaPlayer (use AdvancedConfig or your favorite tool).
I've tried also Coreplayer, but the plugin system is not well implemented, it tries to work, but fails, let's hope CoreCodec fix it.
There are other players that support WM Plugins, I'll try to test them, share your experiences.
If you use WM6.5, you might need to change Windows Media Player to an earlier version that supports E100/W100.
I've tested it in several ROMs, works fine.
Note: For user of other platforms that use E100/W100 RC, this solution should also work for you.
Link to a Windows Media Player that support E100/W100 (for WinMo6.5):

Great work so far.
I installed your cab. I am using MORT PLAYER and what should I say....
following buttons are working now:
play/paused
forward/backward
green/red phone button
not working
volume
Thats for me nearly perfect
Just to be in the clear, this is for PocketMusic of PocketMinds and not for Pocket Player of Conduits?
*edit: apparently it was for Pocket Player of conduits
now i have 1 small problem, i have Touch Pro2 and it seems i can't change the default audio player =\
*edit 2: that was not necessary apparently
nice work, will be using this one asap.. again great find mate!
I'm using HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) with WM 6.1.
Volume Control with RC E100 on Pocket Player does not work! By pressing the butten nothing happens (good news is, WMP does not opens, but volume can not be controlled by PP, too).
Any additional settings I have to consider?

Just tested this on a Touch Diamond and it works almost perfectly! the only problem is that when adjusting the volume, it wakes the screen up. a little annoying if the phone is in ya pocket. havent been able to find a way around this. suggestions anyone?
btw, very nice work Drakh for finding this one out. since HTC Audio manager doesnt support songs downloaded from iTunes I have had to use Coreplayer for listening to music from iTunes, well not anymore. and to think i was almost going to throw away my e100 cos it never worked in coreplayer. glad i didnt now
what does the cab exactly do?

Yes.
I experience the same problem with HTC Diamond 2.
Play/pause forward/backward work.
But volume control doesn't.
How do you change default player?

Great news, I've been looking for this! On my Nike, I've managed to install the tools and keep the HTC audio manager from starting when I press play/pause, but I still can't get the PocketPlayer to play or pause music.

I havn't found this setting anywhere, not in AdvancedConfig nor by registry search. Do you have any tips on where to look?

I too would like to know how to set the default player. Can't find the setting in AdvancedConfig.
Thanks in advance.

Conduit Pocket Player 4.0 & 4.1
Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter 2.31
_______________________________
none of the buttons work, any press still opens WMP.
what version of WM and WMP Plugin Adapter did you use?
any new on this, i'm trying to make it work with CorePlayer, but everytime i press play it just open Windows media player.
And i'm not sure where to change the default music player thing, i have been looking in Advanced Config and TouchPro Tweak without any luck.
Has anyone been able to configure the WMPlayer plugin for Conduits PocketPlayer? I can get to the configuration screen but every single one of the checkboxes is "locked" - i.e. they don't respond to being clicked. They're not greyed out, just completely unresponsive
???

Use virtual keyboard: up, down, Enter.
If I use the virtual keyboard the phone freezes which I press the space bar to "click" an item (requiring a reboot)

Same problem, if someone has the solution to make E100 work with CorePlayer ?
I don'i know if this helps anyone but I write it anyway...
I have just disabled HTC Audio Manager using Diamonf TF3D Config.
Whenever I want to use Pocket PLayer I need to first start it manually and as long as it is started I have no problems what-so-ever using the RC-W100 remote. If I close Pocket Player manually or restart the phone I need to restart Pocket Player...
Sorry to bump this but havent found the solution.
The e100 plays well with Pocket Player after installing the WMP plugins.
However, you need to start Pocket Player manually as the previous author posted too. If Pocket Player is not running and you press the PLAY button, then the Audio Manager starts.
Although it is not the biggest problem in the world, I'd like to know if there is a solution to it.
Probably making WMP default player over Audio Manager? (although .mp3 files open by default with Pocket Player)
Anyone that found a solution?
Why there is no interest in this Thread??
I can´t figure out why there is so little interest in this topic, I use the remote a lot, and still have not found any way to fully integrate with other appz but WMp and Manila Player. Whith the time I learned to love the HTC audio manager (Newest cookie home screen integrated) But now I can´t make my W100 to open the HTC audio manager it only controls WMP.
Please, we need the expert to pay some attention here.
Thanks
I agree - the remote is so (potentially) useful for listening to music when the phone is in a pocket etc, which I do alot.

AVCRP Not working in roms.

To all cooks, in all of the most resent roms with WM6.5 or WM6.1 running TF3D 2.0/2.1 or higher the audiomanager doesn't work with avcrp (bluetooth remote control) so I have to get my phone out of my jacket when I want to go to the next song, my remote control doesn't work. I'm aware that this is a bug in the audiomanger, but is there anyone who have fixed this yet? I'm absolutely not a fan of wmp or other players, and I'm stuck with some old wm6.1 version where avcrp still works.
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Edit; CR192 Touch HD™ V6.5.0.0.2 has a new engine `Audio Manager Engine ( LEO )´ which works, maybe other rom cooks can use this aswell to get avcrp up and running
Hello!
I have same problem, i think the bug is in wich program has to answer to remote button presses. I think wmp and manilla audio manager are both answering to buttons on remote and all music playback goes to hell
Usualy when i press play/pause button audio manager starts to play song and wmp is starting in the background, then music starts to shater and in while all comes to hold
To listen to the music via bluetooth i disabled music tab in manilla, and im using wmp
BHole
I believe this should solve your issue. Except, if you Plan on using MSVC, make sure you install that first then the cab, that's only if you don't have it already in the ROM.
AVCRP fix
Here is a cab that i been using. and it works like a charm
Thanks for your reply's, I'll try to flash a new rom when I'm home with one (or booth) of the cabs. I'll let you know if it worked

Audio Manager Today Plugin Functionality

Hello all! I've grown quite fond of using Audio Manager since it's faster than WMP so great to use as an iPod! I find it odd though that I'm not able to use the left and right arrows when using this player through the Today plugin. I can launch audio manager and play/pause but not next and previous? I'm using an HTC s743, does someone maybe have a better plugin I can try? Is there just something in the registry I need to add to get this functionality?
