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,

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
Hello,
I'm riding a bicycle everyday and skipping a track while riding isn't so easy. Pulling my X10 out of a pocket and changing a song is pretty hard (I have it in etui). So I was looking for an app that could change the tracks being played on a default music player (e.g.MIUI Miusic), not that it has it's own music player, because they're very bad. After pressing a button on a headset the app should activate and wait for voice command (e.g. next track) and it also should work offline, because I don't have instant Internet access, so something like database of commands on a sdcard. Also there wouldn't be such a big problem with language and missunderstanding the command. All the programs that I've found till this time needed Internet connection or had their own music player (e.g.Skyvi). I'm not an Android Dev, so It would be great if some of the Developers could make such a program.
I did a quick search and found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.chobirich.tools.mediabutton&hl=en
Would it accomplish what you're looking for albeit without voice commands?

SE original headset isn't so fast for that program, so I choose JAYS Headset Control, in which I was able to configure the delay between clicks. It will take a while to learn the speed of clicking etc., but to answer Your question: Yes, this program does thing that I wanted > skips a track without taking out the phone
Thank You
I noticed that MX Player remembers which track was played last, but what about remembering which audio/video track was played last in each folder? That would be a great feature!

Amazing. That's it!
This feature is great but is it possible to also jump in the tracks list to that position? When I select the last media for a specific folder it plays that track but when I get back to the list, it shows tracks from the top instead of the selected track. With a list of dozens of tracks a lot of finger work is necessary to get down to the current track
Pressing twice to go back to the track list in unnecessary. One is enough.
Thanks!
Can't you use that Play button that shows up at the top of the list, and it would play the last file in the current folder?

But when you have hundreds of podcasts in a folder and want to play a track near the one being played you have to scroll down a lot....

You have misunderstood.
It's already implemented.
But,There is no new buttons. Only Resume button functionality has been changed. If you are in root of folder list where resume button will resume the last played media. But, If you are inside a folder, then it will resume the last played video in that particular folder.
Note:
Usually Resume button will be in the top right side above the list. On some lower end devices it can be accessed by pressing options/menu hardware button.

Thanks, but there is a lot of misunderstanding here. I know I can resume the last played track on every folder, but the track list is not updated with the position of that track. It still shows the first track on top.
As an example, if the track being played is the 100th, when I go the track list, it shows the list from the begining instead of showing the position where track 100 is.

What do you mean by track list?
Are you talking about video list?
By default Video list will be always showed in alphabetical order. It won't directly scroll down to show the last played video. It's just a video library.
Right now there is no playlist like options to list the videos in que. If it's implemented, it has to be auto scrolled to the last played file in the que when the playlist is resumed.
@bleu8888
Take a look at this feature request.
> " It won't directly scroll down to show the last played video."
This is what he's requesting; he's asking if when a folder is opened, that the folder could auto-scroll to what MX remembers was the last video played in the folder, instead of defaulting the folder view to the first entry.

You can use 'play last video' button on the menu bar.
Also you can check video file name by long clicking this button.
I did not know about the long-click part.

Since Android 4.1, if you long press any button, a tooltip will be displayed describing feature of the button.
It is video file name for 'last played video'.

Thanks but my problem still remains. The track/video list doesn't jump to the position of the file currently being played. It still shows first track/video at the top. Every player that I know of shows current track in the list.

Hi,
I tested it a minute ago on my device and it works for me (I listened to mp3 files on my SD card using doubleTwist). Have you bound key codes to NEXT/PREV/TOGGLE PLAY actions? Could you please provide a screenshot of "Edit existing bindings" screen?
Works perfectly for me on Spotify. I notice you called it MTCD tools rather then Music Player tools or similar? Do you have aspirations for it beyond just music?
If so I was wondering if the launch function could be expanded to support intents. For example I use AutoMate Dashboard which has different menus so to flick over to maps screen rather then maps I would need to use an intent.
com.bitspice.automate.EXIT_APP = Exit the app
com.bitspice.automate.MAP_SCREEN = Launch the maps screen
com.bitspice.automate.PHONE_SCREEN = Launch the phone screen
com.bitspice.automate.HOME_SCREEN = Launch the home screen
com.bitspice.automate.MUSIC_SCREEN = Launch the music screen
com.bitspice.automate.SHORTCUT_SCREEN = Launch the shortcut screen
com.bitspice.automate.VOICE_SCREEN = Launch the voice input screen
I'll try with an mp3 shortly but I was trying the radio streaming feature in doubleTwist, when in that mode, the on screen back button rewinds, which may not be the same as the "previous" button intent your app sends.
I assume this works for PowerAmp too... ? Thank you
Donated thanks for the app!
I just tried with MP3's in doubleTwist - still not working. I only have two bindings for steering wheel control buttons.
NEXT - 300
PREV - 299

I have checked the radio streaming and it works as you mentioned - next/prev on the screen has 'seeking' behavior. I will try to simulate these buttons in my app and check again.
Btw. In doubleTwist player settings I see something like 'steering using headphones' (I have Polish language set and it is 1:1 translation). Try to switch it on/off and check in case of mp3 playback steering.
I will try this with Neutron and report. Thanks

Yes the setting is called "Headset/Car Controls" and it's inside categories / player settings, however toggling it on or off makes no difference. Unfortunately it still won't work.
Can confirm "Radioplayer - Free UK Radio" works as well, skips between radio stations fine.
I can confirm that it works great with the Neutron app..
BUT...
I need to open the MTCD tools each time I use the head unit or else it wont work.

MTCE_HLA_3.53_1
New to the unit and installed in my Mini Cooper 2007. Had a good read around the found and lots of interesting things for a newbie but not found anything clear enough for my questions.
1) Can I set the unit to display MPH rathe than Km/h on the home screen?
2) My steering wheel controls work for the stock music and radio apps (mute, next, previous) but do not work in any 3rd party apps like Poweramp, Spotify or AutoPlay (Apple CarPlay dongle). Please can someone explain how to enable this?
Many thanks for all the info and hard work in these forums.
Managed to resolve #2. For for anyone else who searches later.
Head into factory settings. Password for HLA was m123456
Other tab
Changed steering wheel control to can key
Save and reboot.
Steering wheel controls app then appeared in my apps list and was very easy to assign keys.
