I have finally gotten myself a TouchPro (my last device was TytnII), but have an "unusual" problem (one I never have experienced in any of my other WM devices).
When using A2DP (stereo bluetooth), it seems that the AVRCP-button-presses I do on my stereo headphones does not send to MortPlayer (my favorite) but to WindowsMedia player (if it is not is started it will start when I press one of the buttons on the headphones), it seems that on the TouchPro all AVRCP-button-calls goes to WMP and not MortPlayer.
...and I suspect this also is a problem for other people using other musicplayers on the TouchPro with StereoBluetooth!?
Is there some setting on the HTC Diamond (noticed the same on my girlfriends Diamond earlier) and HTC Touch Pro that oversteers other music apps in this area? If so, does anyone know how to get around it, with some registry key perhaps?
I have used A2DP for many years, and with several devices and headsets, so I not a total rookie in that area...and have gone though many issues with A2DP and AVRCP...but the last 2 years or so, everything has worked fine with all devices I have had...so it was a bit unexpected to get any issues with this. So any hint or tip is appreciated!
And yes, this might be a specific issue with MortPlayer and HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro...but this version of MortPlayer works fine in this area on all other WM phones I have tested it on (and that has been quite a few...HP's, Samsungs, and a lot of HTC models). ...so there probably is "something" special on the TouchPro...and hopefully something that can fairly easily be oversteered?
...cause starting to use "wired headphones" would be a bummer...it's so 80's! :-D
So I try to post a question in my beloved XDA-forum! Maybe some smart dude/gal has the answer?
Love the TouchPro though...especially the keyboard!
BTW, I checked the latest version (3.2) of Schaps Advanced Config, in case there was some trick there, and also looked a little through the registry, but did not find any answers there.
Same problem here, using Conduits Pocket Player. As far as I know, there's no solution yet, but the folks at Conduits are working on one.
Robrecht, thanks for info!
Then I at least know it is an general issue with TouchPro and Diamond, and not just specifically for MortPlayer on those...and that means more people have the issue...and gives more hope for a fix!
...and that Conduits might have an fix for their player...and hopefully that might help for MortPlayer too...og I might just have to convert!
OK...that is not very nice of me...hoping an issue afflicts MANY people, so it get fixed for me! :-D
Well, Pocket Player is really good and it works extremely well on a device with as much RAM as the Touch Pro. But with a little luck the Conduits guys will find a general solution that benefits users of all players.

Well if you put it that way... :-D Still, in a way, that's what this whole forum's about!
it effects me too, if media player isn't opened then it will just open music from the music tab on touch flo 3d. but I play stuff in coreplayer (mainly vids, but would like to be able to pause them more effectively.
Is there a solution yet for PocketPlayer and AVRCP?
Bummer. I was just asking about this problem over at ppcgeeks. I've tried both mortplayer and pocket player with no luck.

From what I've read on the Conduits forum HTC has somehow hardcoded the AVRCP mapping to the TF3D-buildin player. And the developers from Conduits had to do some tricks to find a workaround - here is a small statment from the conduits team:
We had to use some undocumented tricks to get this to work.

What I'm trying to say is, that there is no simple solution to get AVRCP running on an 3rd-party player. Thankfully Conduits has found a way but the developers from CorePlayer still have to work on this.

What is the use of this plugin ?
I think they want to see if that is what allows the hardware buttons to control the WMPlayer software. With WM6 I think they are having problems getting the buttons to work right.
actualy no this plug in does not do that. this is already ben talked about in the vox forums. this plug in lets u control media player from the homescreen, nothin to do with the media buttons

I use WMP for music because of its library, and some video. But I use tcpmp for video tho.

WMP is so primitive that it doesnt have an equalizer. I bought a pair of Shure I2Ct headset for my smartphone and with TCPMP's equalizer the sound is amazingly better. I can tweak the low frequencies and it feels like I have subwoofers right in my ears. The difference is so radical.
Also, the memory footprint is so much more lightweight with TCPMP. WMP mobile is a huge memory hog.
PlusPoints for WMP
OK, guys, but what about AVRC (AV RemoteControl)? Does TCMP have it? And what about the Ringtone-Subroutine?May it based on the WMP-Core? And a big plus; Only the WMPlayer got a Homescreen-Plugin, nice for all the Users without Extra-Player-Buttons.
And what about the Star-rating, Playlist-Sync or the other little bits around WMP?
Sure,the missed Equalizer and some others...I use both Players,TCMP sometimes have probs with Radio-streaming, but better for my Videos...

Hello just a quick question that should be answered quickly the many experienced members of this forum.
I am after a today plugin that controls Windows Media Player? or similar, for a WM6
i know there used to be a program called spd toplay, however it would appear as if they have stopped this.
however i have read that if i have a Kaiser with WM6, then it is already included as one of the many options. Is this true?
i wish i could upgrade from my N73 now!!!!!!!!
cheers.

the best and freeware
There's also the 5 and 6 tabs home plugins from HTC that has a player tab. Works really well.

Will this work with WM5? On their site it looks like it is only for 2003.
Also, by any chance do you know of a similar app but with better looking icons?

Does that only work with Audio Manager or can it be made to work with Media Player as well?
it says on the site that mortplayer has a today plugin. i have mortplayer, and i dont have a today plugin. where can i find that?
everyone,
i am trying to play an mp4 film on my htc touch pro,... have good sound but no picture,...
maybe a 'codec' issue, but any ideas on how do i resolve this,...?
thanks,

I dont think that Windows Media player that comes with WM6.1 supports it.
Your best bet is to get a media player, something like CorePlayer (not free) or TCPMP (free).
thanks st, but which version of tcpmp do you recommend,...? i just installed v.72rc and it gave me an error message,... what do you think about v.71,...?

Read through everything on this site, very detailed by the way and thank you, but there is no information about why TCPMP won't run on the Touch Pro which I believe is what the issue was in the first place.
Seems to be a common issue without resolution. I wonder if someone as knowledgable as yourself could suggest a fix, or another freeware program that would do something similar. Seems from your article though that there are no better programs except CorePlayer which is basically TCPMP v.80 instead of v.72 right? So a fix would be helpful.
Most TCPMP links seem to be broken, but I have found a couple that are still legit. The reason the program is crashing is because we've downloaded a faulty program. My old .cab file of v.72 works just fine with my Touch Pro.
Hi all,
I have an O2 stereo BT headset which is 1 year old. I used it with my prophet previously just fine with S2P. No problems when I press play etc.
Since using it on my Touch Pro, when I press play on it, both WMP/tf3d player would play simulatneously. I have to stop s2p. It is annoying to say the least. I would like to continue to use S2P than wmp/tf3d.
How come I'm having this conflict & what to do about it?
Thanks
Posted it here because I thought it may be a general question rather than a problem with S2P.
I have the same problem...
I am having the same problems and from the research it looks like the profile for the blue tooth is set to always call up Window Media. I have been using Mort Player with no issues on an older model S9 motorola stereo headset. Now with the new one no go!!! always calls up Windows Media.
I have tried different media players - looks like there was a version of pocket player 4 that bypassed this issue and cut off Windows media player. Unfortunately it jsut doesn't work for my Touch Pro 6.1 stock rom.
i am thinking if anyone out there can make this fix available it must be the XDA people...
Anyone have suggestions, hack, new profile that can fix this annoying issue??? Please???
i thought no body else had this issue but i'm sure other people have it as well.
thanks for the research. tried looking in the registry for a2dp profiles and wmp, but no luck.
I think is should be the correct forum for this. If any of you use core player, nitrogen, pocket music, or whatever, you'll notice that windows media player often hijacks your bluetooth controls. I've noticed this in quite a few pre cooked roms, but not when I cook my own using the kitchen. Is this a bug or a feature of the chefs and can it be disabled?
What you want is a stock "BTHCI.DLL", if i recall correctly

To clarify what Da_G just said . . .
Da_G said:

Click to collapse
the stock BTHCI.DLL for WM 6.1/Raphael does as you describe. WMP is always controlled by AVRCP, no matter what player you're using (unless it's HTC Music Player). The modified BTHCI.DLL that Da_G provided for WM6.5 corrects that "issue" by allowing other media players to access AVRCP control. However, this breaks the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player.
If you prefer to use the 6.5 BTHCI.DLL file, I made a cab install of it:
T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab
Thanks to Da_G for providing the updated driver!
P.S. The reason you don't have the issue when cooking in Da_G's 6.5 Kitchen is because Da_G included it in the "Mods" folder.
wow man, you guys rock. Thanks G and thank you captain for the cab. You guys and this community just make every visit fantastic. Thanks a lot for this. Windows media player was driving me nuts.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro and was a little frustrated that I couldn't use the AVRCP controls from my BT8010 with my favorite mp3 player Pocket Music. When I found this thread, I was excited to use the T-Back 6.5 BT Driver and it worked very well! The play/pause and skip/next features work well within PocketMusic! However, now in order to get the audio to play through my bluetooth headset, I need to go to my Bluetooth settings and disconnect then connect my BT8010 before it works.
Has anyone run into this problem too?
Caption_Throwback, You are my Hero!!!!! I have been without AVRCP controls since last May. I use Pocket Player, as it has many controls that I need, but I've been frustrated by their lack of support on this problem.
I will be sending you $$ tomorrow morning.

I'm on an at&t fuze, WM6.1, works like a charm. I mean, all the time, everytime. I use Pocket Player from Conduits for my media player. I have Forward xx seconds and Pause/play again. Life is Good! ps, I don't use Windows Media player, so can't say if it works or not.
you are so right - thank you so much
Thanks for this cab file - I've been looking for an answer for this for ages!
I've installed the cab and bt headset no longer starts up wmp, but still cannot get it to control Coreplayer - do I need to set it up somehow elsewhere, like ACRCP app, and if so, what settings should I use?
Many thanks

It works fine with CorePlayer for me without doing anything. Did you soft reset after installing the cab and/or restart CorePlayer?
Yes mate - done all that. I am using Energy rom 6.5
Maybe I'll try reinstalling Coreplayer or something
Just found this thread and wondering if it will help me. I am presently using NRG's energy ROM for the touch diamond 2 (6.5)
Since going to the 6.5 ROM, BT control only links to WMP but I want it to link to HTC Audio Manager. Will this cab have the desired effect?

Sorry, dont know too much about this but you say it breaks the functunality for htc audio player - it is already not responding to this program. My aim is to disable windows media player funtionality and then somehow create a link to htc audio manager. It probably cant be done but this is one of the few posts I have found that offered a glimmer of hope.
hope they resolve the issue on future ROMs

Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways .
The BT driver included in the ROM you're using is the same one posted in this thread as a cab. It enables AVRCP for all other players (and prevents WMP from launching when trying to use AVRCP controls with another app), but doesn't work with the HTC Music Player. The "stock" BT driver will restore the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player, but if you want to use a player other than that one or WMP, then AVRCP won't work at all; it'll simply launch WMP.
P.S. Just to clarify - with the stock BT driver, WMP does NOT override HTC Music Player AVRCP control. So if that's all you're trying to accomplish (for it to behave as the stock ROM), that is doable.
