Hi folks,
today I' ve got my Excalibur back from my colleague. After updating new WM6 I tried to find out how the Music Player Plugin works.
The first result you can find in the screenshot.
Ok, let's start:
- Copy the following lines from the T-MobileDefaultBlue.home.xml
<!-- Music Player -->
<plugin clsid="{166B4205-4D6C-46d7-AA10-9647198FBF65}" name="Music Player" height="22"/>
<plugin clsid="{A502A403-48E4-48b6-A0E8-75633F493F01}" name="SPN Name" height="25" >
</plugin>
to your own homescreen.xml.
- Copy all files beginning with "mpt_....." and the files
Music Plugin Swith.lnk
MusicPlayerGridView.exe
MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll to Windows folder.
- Edit HKLM-Software-HTC-MusicPlayerPlugin (key exists on my S710) and add the following value:
Value: HomeLayout
Value Data: \Application Data\Home\<yourscreen>.home.xml
Value Type: REG SZ
- Register the MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll with regsrvceGUI.exe.
After rebooting your homescreen looks like my screenshot.
Problem: you can choose the plugin but the title, remaining time and volume won't be displayed. Only working part is the media player icon on the right (starts media player).
Any ideas what's missing ?

Newchurch
I got some text, but it wont contact wmp. I'll see what i can do tomorrow. (its late here in Norway now )
WMP plugin
Anyone had any joy with this one - would be nice to have a WMP plugin on the homescreen that works..
Operators are given one as part of the adaption tool kit... its a source code example...
anyone has accesss? and can complie it for us?
Hi,
I had a look at this. The missing piece is the media player plugin registration. Putting it all together in one place, this is what is needed.
1.
Insert the following text into your home screen xml file. Put it after the <plugin>...</plugin> pair where you want the media player control to show up. I put it after the carrier section. You can use the liveexample.home.xml file in the archive available here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/37201289/plugin.rar.html
<!-- Music Player -->
<plugin clsid="{166B4205-4D6C-46d7-AA10-9647198FBF65}" name="Music Player" height="22"/>
<plugin clsid="{A502A403-48E4-48b6-A0E8-75633F493F01}" name="SPN Name" height="25" >
</plugin>
2.
Copy all files in the archive to \windows. These are the various graphics, Music Plugin Switch.lnk, MusicPlayerGridView.exe, and also WmpPluginToday.dll
Next, you need to do a bunch of registry edits (not for the faint of heart). For MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll you could also just register it with regsrvGUI.exe included in the archive.
3.
Create key HKLM\Software\HTC\MusicPlayerPlugin (key may or may not exist) and add the following:
-Add string "HomeLayout" with value "\Application Data\Home\<your today file>home.xml"
(for example "\Application Data\Home\liveexample.home.xml")
-Add DWORD "ClientUIShowOff" with value 1
4.
Register the MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll with regsrvceGUI.exe -OR- make the following registry edits:
Create key HKCR\CLSID\{166B4205-4D6C-46d7-AA10-9647198FBF65}
Creake subkey InprocServer32, and make its default value "MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll"
5.
Creake key HKCR\CLSID\{DAD087AB-1E2F-4b3b-BB5F-0F4D6AB630F8}
Creake subkey InprocServer32, and make its default value "WmpPluginToday.dll"
6.
Create key HKCR\MusicPlayerApp
Create subkey SelectIcon and make it's default value "MusicPlayerGridView.exe,-229"
Create subkey DefaultIcon and make it's default value "MusicPlayerGridView.exe,-230"
7.
Create key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins
Create subkey {DAD087AB-1E2F-4b3b-BB5F-0F4D6AB630F8}
-Add strings "FriendlyName"="HTC WMP Plug-in Today" and "Description"="HTC WMP Plug-in Today"
-Add DWORD "Capabilities" with value 1
Create subkey {A13C7005-B7BD-4f0f-B496-A830EAF8DB32} (I'm not actually sure this is needed)
-Add DWORD "Capabilities" with value 42000001
8.
Reboot
That's it. Works great. Enjoy
Dave

thanks a lot
Hello, could make you a file .CAB
Thanks
I agree with MathieuG... I've done all what described in the instruction, but I had no effect of it... If somebody does the *.CAB, i'll be very happy
Thanks darkfinger! Works like a charm on the Vox!
Cab
Ive tried to make an cab included the given RegKeys,but even not work on my Phone,...Tornado with IphoneRom.Maybe work on other Phones?Or maybe an Installation-Bug?give it a try,i hope,ive placed all regkeys....
add:File Updated!!Hope it will work better now... thanks to rickwyatt for the missing dll...
There is an error you has to forget to put the file WmpPluginToday.dll in the .CAB
cab
of course not, these are all the original files given by Newchurch expect the regsrvce.exe-files, and the regtweaks given by Darkfinger...have you reboot btw register the .dll manually?You have to reboot your Phone and choose the WMPlug homescreen in settings...but the Buttons dont work on my phone anyway...

Hi,
I have created my own skin, with colors and others, but in CommManager, i have original's colors : HTC Green (rom 1.34)
I have seen this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366778
But i don't want blue color, i want to edit files to insert my background/colors.
(File : CommManagerRes.dll ??)
Do you have a solution for this ?
Thanks.
Sorry for my poor english.
I've got an orbit 2 (not changed rom or anything else) and just wondering if it's safe to use the HTC home plugin? Read a few threads and my impression is that if I add the tsk file in the windows folder I can then choose that theme from the today menu, is that correct? Will that automatically add the weather etc?
no it wont.
the file you have will just make all adjustements so it has one common style (same colours, etc in every window)
the other thing you are referring to is the HTC Home plugin - this will bring you the weather, etc.
right, the tsk file is just the theme file.
here you will find what you are looking for :=>

the HTC home plugin
thanks guys
I've been looking at the manila files on my AT&T Fuze (1.95 ROM) to add a CommMgr Tab, Call History Tab (tried using Advanced Config 3.3 to turn on but no go), etc.
It seems that these manila files are a bit different from the Touch Pro and Diamond files.
So... is it possible to create a sticky or put in the Wiki... a list of definitions for the Fuze Manila files?
For instance:
26948339_manila = TF3D Tabs
090661f7_manila = Tabs' Title/Text File
It is possible, all you need to do is add it. The wiki is editable by anyone.
cool... i'll do that so the community can have some kind of reference to go on if they want to edit the manila files for their Fuze...
thanks
Edited: Updated the Wiki in the Tweaks and Tips section....
Can I get a link?
Can I get a link to that Wiki section with the list of definitions? I've been trying to locate it, to no avail.
Hi there
I've searched but not really found a solution...
I've installed Manila 2.1 on my Touch Pro. It has 3 rows for programs in the program tab... but I want 4 and smaller buttons and icons, so I don't need to scroll to see the 3rd line of programs.
Any idea?
use search, look for 4 inLine.cab ... you can reach this with regitry entrys, too
