Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the music launcher in HTC Home PlugIn from WMP and Audio Manager to Pocket Tunes?
I know changing HKLM->Software->HTC->Music PlugIn from 1 to 2 changes the music launcher from WMP to Audio Manager but is there a way to change it to Pocket Tunes?
Would really appreciate it if anyone knows how.
Cheers.
I doubt it, Pocket Tunes is really for Palm I think. I used to have it on my Treo's, but never decided to try the WM version since it's almost $40.
i'm looking for a good mp3-player such as HTC Audio Manager, which I enjoyed on my Kaiser
unfortunately HTC forgot to install it on Diamonds and Touch Pros, so I tried the Windows Media Player, which ****ing SUCKS
no sorting in playlist and library, very small buttons and really aweful at all
the CorePlayer/TCPMP is a cool player, but has no library for sorting genres etc.
its buttons are too small as well imo
well, I tried to install the originally HTC Audio Manager (qvga), but it doesnt start - the taskbar shortly changes to "load rc fail" and nothing happens
so I installed Audio Manager VGA which I found around here, but the .exe doesnt work as well because of an error message about an unsigned security certificate
I even get this message, although I disabled the security policy in my Touch Pro's registry to ignore those warnings
I'd really like to get the HTC Audio Manager on my Touch Pro, but if you'll tell me, theres no possibility, it would be nice if theres another similar cool player which you suggest
Whats wrong with the built in player integrated with TF3D? If you select the left option and open the library you get all of the options like the old Audio Manager Program and the same functionlity just a modefied look to it. You can even use the "scroll wheel" thing to advance your songs time and other "iPod" like features similar to the old Audio Manager.
While I liked the old audio manager and the way it worked I like having it built into TF3D so I dont have to load anything to play my music, its already there, playlists and all.
It did take a little getting used to since they redid the UI but it works just a well for me.
I think PocketPlayer is what you are looking for.
HTH
i dont like to use the TF3D, so I disabled it
much thanks to DeepThought, the PocketPlayer is really nice!

Ah, makes sense, Pocket player is a good alternative, forgot about that one
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.
HTC Touch DIAMOND
Windows Mobile 6.5.1 (EnergyROM)
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.
