Hello everybody,
after my resume-plugin for the Windows Media Player i have developed a little AVRCP agent, wich allows to use AVRCP in combination with the GSPlayer, even to start the GSPlayer by pressing the "start" button on the A2DP Headset.
If there´s anyboby interested in, i would post it in this thread....
Greets,
Thomas
core
core player is better
I'm interested in that plugin. Thanks.
I'm interested, could you please post it?
The Agent......
Ok, here is the agent!
It is a little app(NOT a plugin for the GSPlayer!) wich runs in background. The app uses the Windows Media Player plugin for parsing the AVRCP signals (thank you to Mirko Schenk from MortPlayer for his help!!).
On startup you do not see anything from the app! When you start it a second time, you see an menu at the bottom (OK and SETTINGS) where you can configure various things like the path to the GSPlayer and timings for double and triple clicks. Don´t click the OK button, because the app will exit after that! Just leave it run in background. The menu disappears after clicking somewhere else.
When you have configured the GSPlayer path, the plugin ready to work.
Headset Button functions:
Play - click - If GSPlayer is not running, it will startup, if it is running you can switch between play and pause.
Play - double click - turns the screen off
Play - triple click - opens the "File Open" Dialog
Play - long click - exits the GSPlayer. you can start it again with another click!
Forward - click - jumps forward one track.
Forward - double click - fast forward.
Backward - click - jumps back one track.
Backward - double click - fast rewind.
OK, that´s all. The best thing is to start the app in autostart, it is only 50kb of size and uses about 50-100kb of main memory! Then you are able to start the the GSPlayer when you connect your headset.
I´ve tested it with the Motorola HT810 Headset under WM6, but it SHOULD work under WM5 and with any other Headset wich is supported by the Windows Media Player. I´am working at a new version, where you can fully configure the functions of the buttons, e.g. start any other app and control it by sending WM_ messages.....
Ok, then enjoy.
Any feddback is welcome! Excuse my english if there are any mistakes in the post, but i am german..
Greets,
Thomas
This is exactly what I was looking for! I love GSPlayer. The agent works for all single click functions, but the double and triple clicks don't work for me. If I try to set the times for those functions, it doesn't get saved. It just reverts back to blank. I don't really need those functions, but I thought you'd want to know about it.
Question please for those using GS Player...
When Itried GS Player months ago... I noticed it can't select and play every MP3 songs I have. It only can play 10 songs.
For example, I have 100 MP3 songs in one folder. With WMP or TCPMP, if I select all and press play. It will play ALL 100 MP3 songs until the end or it runs out of battery. BUT with GS Player, it only can select 10 songs even if I MANUALLY select them one by one.
My question is: Does GS Player still suffer from this BUG???

rofl ,i dont know what gsgetfile version you are using..but..trust me..its not normal.
AVRCP - How did you do that?
Wolfman, could you point me to some sites that explain how to add AVRCP support to Windows Mobile apps?
I did a lot of searching, but haven't found the "holy grail" ...

That´s strange. Which device and OS are you using? I tested it on universal and WM6.....
Thanks Wolfman for your great job
By the way: i have modified the GSPlayer Source, so it can display Album or Track covers and changed some Parameters so that the Player is VGA-Compatible (i think someone did this before too). There are some VGA-Skins wich looks really nice.
Anyone interested?
VGA updated GSplayer
I would be very interested in your modified GSplayer and VGA skins, please let me know where I can download them from so I can try it out. Great work.
Here are the Files.
It´s just the gsplayer exe and one dll. The SubDirs are some VGA skins i have collected.
If there is a jpg file with the same Name as the mp3 file in the directory, it will be shown at the bottom. If not and there is a file named "folder.jpg" in the directory it will be displayed instead.
is it possible to change?
from:
Forward - click - jumps forward one track.
Forward - double click - fast forward
to:
Forward - double click - jumps forward one track.
Forward - Click - fast forward
thx
Yes, i have already change it, because i like it better, too.
This is the newest Version of the AVRCP-Agent.
New Features:
-Changed double and dingle click behaviour of forward/backward buttons
-Pause and Resume the GSPlayer on incoming call.
-If you press the VoiceCommand Button, the Player will pause too.
Greets,
Thomas
Hey, can we adapt this to other programs, like say, TCPMP?
Or better yet, can we assign custom commands to the AVRCP calls? For example, maybe I'd like a forward-press to launch WMP, and a back press to launch TCPMP, or something along those lines?
I could see this being very useful in my car since I have a AVRCP / A2DP stereo unit.
It would be interesting to have a control start the GPS app on my phone..
Great agent
Thanks very much for this agent it works great. If I could get the universal to ring through the internal speaker as well as the bluetooth headset at the same time I would have the perfect solution from my persepective.

It´s no Problem to start other Applications, i plan to make the commands to be customizable. To start the WMP is a problem, because i use the WMP-AVRCP plugin to parse the AVRCP commands. It will start, but then there are 2 AVRCP Application running, this would be problematic.
To control the TCPMP would be no problem, if would have the corrosponding WM_ Messages to control the TCPMP. I would need the TCPMP Source code to do so.
I you just need a button to start your GPS App, just replace the path to the GSPlayer in "Settings" with the path to your GPS-App.
the new settings for one/doble click arent really confortable for my hbh-ds970
will you release the configurable version of this ?
also, ANY chance you can not only make gsplayer to pause, but also send sound to the loudspeaker on a call (for the ringtone )
i dont know if its a WM limitation, but i hate not hearing my ringtones and missing calls when i drive
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?
C. Paul
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?

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?

Thanks in advance.
HTC Touch DIAMOND

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.
I'm using the HD Video converter v1.21 to convert video files to play on an HD2... I realize these are MP4 files and need the hardware acceleration of the built in HTC Album player....
Thing is when the album finds them it just gives a shot of the opening frame of the movie as a picture... is there anyway to make it display the name too or instead off?
Its a pain going through every clip to find the one you want...

I absolutely second that, but as far as I know it is not possible to modify the album so that it shows embedded Information or the filename. Sorry mate. Maybe you better use RescoExplorer or something to select your Videos. MP4s should then be opened with the build-in Player out of the box (of course only if you havent associated mp4-files with any other videoplayer).
Greets
Thanks for the pointer - I will try Resco. thanks again

One more tip:
- Open RescoExplorer
- tap and hold your videofolder
- Choose "send to" --> "startmenu as shortcut"
- Now you are able to put your videofolder directly on a quicklink on your homescreen
- Furthermore you can enable the preview-/thumbnail-option in RescoExplorer so you can see a thumbnnail and VideoInformation
Cheers
I love this app, it's been my standard media player since my first Android phone.
I upgraded from the Galaxy S5 to the S7, and the player isn't working quite the same now.
The next/previous buttons used to load the next/previous file in the current folder, now next does nothing and previous only returns to the start of the current file.
The seek gesture, as I used it to seek ack and forth the video image would update while seeking so I knew where I was. Now it only updates after I lift my finger off the screen and stop seeking.
I assume there are settings I've missed for this, but I can't find them. Any advice is appreciated.

Isn't that the same setting that means when a video ends the next video starts automatically?
On my previous phone, the next/prev buttons loaded the bext/prev file, but when I finished a video it would return to the list and not automatically play the next vid.

Actually when back to list enabled, previous /next button won't change the track. I have already asked the developer to enable previous / next even if back to list is enabled.
Hopefully next update will fix the issue.

Hi
I use MX Player on my Galaxy S4 (i9505) with LineageOS 14.1
For me, the previous/next button does not work anymore.
Settings > Player & "disable back to list" has NOT solved the problem.
Whether enabled or disabled.
I use MX Player synonymous on my other phone and have importet these settings to my Galaxy S4.
This also has not solved my problem.

First one is not a bug at all. In recent version of Samsung file manger & Gallery it uses content scheme instead of file scheme. For example it sends some odd path to MX Player (like Content://[email protected]/external/video/12345)
You can confirm it by opening the properties while playing the video. In this case MX Player won't aware the actual location of the file. So, it's almost impossible to use next/previous as the content folder is unknown to the app.
For the second one, Goto Settings >> Player and enable Preview while Seeking. That's all.
"You can confirm it by opening the properties while playing the video. "
Thanks for this note.
The previous/next track button works again. :good:
Can you please give us an option to hide the video zoom button in the lower right corner, as I never use it, since you should watch the video at the resolution it's supposed to be in.
Also can you create an API for when you press search subtitles it will take that title/year and search for it in opensubtitles.org to give you the best results. Instead of just going off filename. Give us the api option for our app to send you the title/year info to then send to open subtitles.
On another note, give us an option for subtitle preferred "Forced"
Thanks alot! The player would be perfect after these options are added.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. MXPlayer already provides an option to enter your own keywords while searching for subtitles. Have you tried the same?
With regards to your request on forced subtitles, would you mind elaborating more so that we can share your concerns with our relevant team for further review?

I know you can enter your own, but it would be nice if you had an API for developers to send the movie/year to that field so it automatically search for that instead of depending on the filename.
Forced subtitles are mainly for English films or tv that contain a few forced subtitles that can be like some small Spanish parts or elvish from Lord of the rings for example. They are mainly called Forced or English Forced. Right now you give us the option to choose our subtitles that automatically are picked, but there is no option for Forced, just English. I don't want to have subtitles for the whole movie I just want them for the portion where the language they are speaking isn't English.
But can you please give us an option in settings to hide the zoom button on the bottom right of the player. It would make the player perfect for me and others..
Also can you give us an option to disable the up and down function on the player. Like the volume or brightness. I don't use either of those as I use the app on my TV, I accidently turn down the volume all the time.
Thanks!

Yeah! For me it is only two small things before it’s perfect:
1. The video scaling button should be removable to prevent accidents (we always want it on”scale to fit” and won’t ever use that button).

I'd like the ability to turn off the up and down function, since I don't even need to change brightness and I change the volume from my remote volume buttons . So having the option to disable that would be great.
Oh yes I agree. I constantly change mx volume by accident. Disabling the up/down action would give me peace of mind.

That's for touch devices only. We are strictly talking about remote navigation. Theirs no setting to disable volume/brightness up and down with remote.
