Today I decided to stream the BBC World Service radio via WMP. However it turns out that whenever the screen turns off the media stops. Any way to fix this.
i stream tv with sbp tv, the screen stays on
not sure how you can do that with wmp
from CodyBear's FAQ:
Keep Music Playing:
All you do is install this,
and then when you have music playing in any program,
tap the power button to put in suspend mode,
and you're good to go.
Download Cab Installer
Registry location:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Unattended\
Change Wav1 dword value to a "0"

Windows Media Player Music:
If you play music using the integrated WMP - power management will not work as expected - Display light will never turn off. Still the same if you press the home button during playback.
If you lock your device during playback, backlight will be dimmed but remains on.
--> Your battery will be empty very shortly if you use your device as MP3 Player.
Windows Media Player Video:
First - landscape registry key still works.
But if you play a video in fullscreen mode you can do this only for a few seconds before it switches back to normal skin mode.
--> You cannot really view any video on your device
Please, can anyone confirm this.
Are these known bugs for HTC which are be fixed in the final release?
Are there any workarounds?
I confirm this bugs, i have Wm6 HTC Test ROM to, and the WMP have this problems.
I use now the Audio Manager and Pocket Player software.
Regards
what about using TCPMP?
do you have the same problems with it?
It's a WMP player bug inside the current HTC pre-release of WM6.
TCPMP works like expected.
confirm bug, but the battery is not so terrible..
1.) Install RUU_Excalibur_HTC_RUS_1.24.411.1_4.1.13
2.) Change Language to US
3.) Do not dock your device
4.) Start WMP and play a song
--> Backlight never will turn off
5.) Press the HOME button
--> Backlight still remains on
6.) LOCK your device
--> Backlight will be dimmed
I can reconstruct this bug very easily on 3 devices following exactly the steps above. If this doesn't happens on your device please let us know what's different.

If I use my device as MP3 player and do not lock the device --> the battery will be empty in less than 2 hours. (Full backlight - always on)
If you lock it the battery will be empty in less than 5 hours (Backlight dimmed).
So from my point of view this is a terrible bug.
using audio manager saves the day
Audio Manager Bug.... when anounce names are kept on.. the ring for mobile rings for just 2-3 secs.....
announce names is what?

has anyone found a fix for this yet?
bug fix?
Anyone have a solution to the wmp backlight problem yet? I mainly use wmp because it allows me to use my stereo bluetooth headset buttons to control the music, and works best when making calls using ms voice command.
hi,
does anyone know how to fix this problem? This may not be a wm6 issue alone. when i play media player and the timer switches the device off, the song which is currently playing continues to play but after the song is done, it does not play the next song in the list. If I click the power button (AT&T 8525) the next song starts playing. I'd like to know how to play all the songs in the background when the device goes off.
On my old but great TYTN2 audio manager used to work with device off... saving battery...
what needs to be done.. to work it on the new audio manager in touchflo3d??
tnx in advance..
Er. . nothing. Mine plays quite happily with the screen off
Mine doesn't I was playing music through bluetooth to the car and screen goes off and media player stops playing until I hit the power button again (I need to find out what the app name is of the media player as well so I can add it as an exception into slide to unlock)

Is that HTC media player or Windows media player?
The HTC one ( the one on the music tab) works fine streaming to my car radio with the screen off. WMP turns off with the screen tho'
I haven't found a fix for this either =( When I use my stereo bluetooth headset all is fine: I can press the power button, device goes into suspend, music keeps playing. But when I'm playing music through the speaker - as I like to do in the morning in the shower - music playback stops when pressing the power button.
I found a registry setting for the HTC audio manager (hkey\localmachine\software\htc\audiomanager_eng\config\enter_suspend) but it didn't do anything =(

It's the HTC media player (one on the tab) you don't happen to know the actual file name that is run when you select it from the tab do you?
I have the same problem with TouchFLo Music tab... power button and stop music!
I have the same problem with the built in player - Core player & Pocket music player although that freezes & generally is unstable - dunno why it was perfect on my X1.
I have a small problem (I don't think I had it before)!
when I put Music tab from TouchFlo playing and press power button the sound stops!
does it happens to you? how can I solve it?
thanks

This is the way it's meant to be.
If it's playing through speakers, the sound stops by pressing the power button. If it's playing through headphones, you can press power and it will still play.
is there anyway to change it in the registry so that we can turn the device off and still play it through the speakers. TP2 got 2 good speakers so it would be nice to leave it in the table and listen music without hearphones

I used S2U2 lastest version, run S2U2 Settings > Advanced > check on "Don't Suspend Power" > Save > Yes, and my TP2 can play music when device off
I have just got my HTC Touch Pro 2. When I listen to streaming radio from http://87.248.216.211:80/grupo_st92-live_audio?MSWMExt=.asf with Windows Media Player, the playback stops when the screen goes black due to inactivity. When playing MP3:s this never happens - the playback continues even when the screen goes black.
How can I fix the problem? I have tried this radio stream with GSPlayer and Resco without success.
Is there a way to stop media player from automatically playing a song when bluetooth audio connects?
I thought there was a setting on my old Epic 4G Touch to stop autoplay on connection, but I couldn't find it on the Note 2.
Basically when I run Pandora in the car, as soon as it starts up and connects to the BT, the media player starts playing, so I have to pause it, then go back into Pandora to have it play again, meanwhile, the media player shows a pause notification at the top the entire time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've been using Media Button Router on my last couple of phones. You can limit what apps it will interact with, and can just let it time out and no audio will play.
Excellent, I just downloaded it. Thanks!
