[PLUGIN] Windows Media Prevent-Lock Plugin - Windows Mobile Software Development

This is a plugin for Windows Media Player that will prevent the device from locking while playing media.
I've been looking for something like this for a long time, and have found nothing so I finally wrote one myself. I like my phone to lock after about 5 minutes for security purposes, but I also use it as my media player in my car, and typing the password in while driving every time I want to change songs gets real tiring... Took a while to finally figure out how to write a WMP mobile plugin, the MSDN documentation is horribly outdated; I could only find information on how to do it in VS2003, which didn't work on 2008.

Thanks for sharing

thnx man !! very usefull

Apparently there is a compatibility issue with WM5, and it crashes WMP.
DO NOT INSTALL ON WM5

Listening to music via BlueTooth Headsets

Hi people,
I just bought a Logitech Mobile Pro Headset for my O2 XDAIIi.
It works great, but only has the option to be used with phone calls.
Does anyone know of a way of getting a bluetooth headset to work with the rest of the device sounds?
i.e. Mediaplayer..
*Disclaimer: I have here by checked the forum for this topic*
but I am sorry if I over looked the posts and have created a duplicate topic
FOUND THIS CACHED ON GOOGLE

It is now possible to enjoy great music from your PPC ...without dangling cables, entangling with PPC and hassle free way.
Has been doing extensive testings, finally here is the setup
Equipments needed:
1. A Bluetooth Stereo Headset such as Motorola HT820 or iTech Clip S (see photo) or Nokia HS-12W see http://www.nokia.com.sg/nokia/0,,74203,00.html
2. A PPC that supports A2DP Bluetooth Profile such as XDAIIi, or Dell X50v.
AT LAST!! This is a major, major breakthrough in Bluetooth high quality audio streaming, now everything works and rocks! WMP10, TCPMP all works well! Can stream stereo audio wmv video with both easily!! with BT stereo Headset!!
The problems have been licked!!
Thanks to tip offs and dogged trials by many die hard PPC users who never gave up!! Thks to Desmdlow and others!
Assume that you have already installed this
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/ha...load/22475.html
and still faced many hiccups
Here are the steps to solve this mystery:
Step 1: Temporarily cut the BTTrayCE.lnk file from Windows/Startup folder and put it away somewhere else.
Step 2: Soft reset. This will disable the BT completely
Step 3: Install the PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpd.cab
See
http://www.pdagold.com/forums/view_topic.asp?t=5012&fi=0
Step 4: Copy to WINDOWS folder all contents of folder Broadcom 1[1].6.0 0600 Updated unzipped files. See
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread....ight=itech+clip
Step 5: Copy and put back the BTTrayCE.lnk file into the Windows/Startup folder
Step 6: Soft reset
Step 7: On your WMP 10 or TCPMP, play your favorite mp3/wma/wmv/avi then on your BT Manager and connect the BT High Quality Audio Headset Profile
Voila and now boomzz....you are in business....ENJOY great music from WMP10 and TCPMP with your BT Stereo Headset!!
Step 8: For X50v PPC only, to view and listen wmv video on TCPMP goto Options-->Video-->select Raw Framebuffer. For WMP10 can view and listen to wmv as usual. Can also hear/view avi video on TCPMP too. For WMP can toggle screen on/off, forward songs, pause etc without any freezing up!

I've tried this but my "Logitech Mobile Pro Headset" wont connect to my device when trying to select it to use this profile.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much for the advice and info.
I followed the instructions to the letter but alas still no audio from any progs except the phone
I don't have the additional High Quality Audio Service available!
Using a T-Mobile MDAIII
If you have any more ideas, would be gratefully received.
John
PS Where can I get the latest ROM updates suitable for the MDAIII UK?
Bluetunes
I got my XDA Exec yesterday and so have not tested this yet, but have been successfully using it for over a year now with no problems on my SPV C500 (Orange Smartphone):
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?download=456
Bluetunes is a very simple peice of software that allows you to use your bluetooth headset to listen to hardware sounds including media players etc.
You will need to be a registered member of Modaco.com (free) to download.
I hope that this works and will amend my post if i test it and find it unsuccessful or if someone else does first, please add to this thread to let me and others know.

Listening to internet radio.........???

I own an internet radio station: www.rockaces.com
all is ok,but there is no way i can listen to my own station using the HTC TOUCH HD.
Is there a plug in that i can install so i can listen to it?
(well,me and anybody else who would like to listen to my music using his mobile)
Thanks!
This seems a little bit like an attempt to promote/advertize your internet radio stations; however, to answer your question, this is what I use
First I find the internet radio stations that interest me and load them into winamp on my desktop computer
then I save the playlist for that specific radio station and name it accordingly
then I transfer the playlist to my mobile device into a folder I named "Internet radio stations"
then I load the internet radio station into one of my media players capable of playing streaming media
I use TCPMP as this streams the best for me; however, WMP works also and I am sure there may be others out there.
I even created shortcust to my favorite internet radio stations in my Ultimate Launch Setup - I have a dedicated page for Internet radio - Sirius radio and audio/video players I use
Hope this helps

NO ADVERT
This is not an advertisment!!!
It is a simple question!
I dont need this kind of advertisment anyway!
My site is just my hobby!
If it is possible,enter my site (with your htc touch hd),and try to listen to the on line radio,the way you would do it if you were using your home pc ot laptop.
If you can listen to it,please let me know how you did it.If you cannot listen and you get the message 'invalid....' and you have a solution,please let me know.
www.rockaces.com
That is all i am asking!
For some reason, I cannot open the website on my desktop. Just keeps trying and trying and trying but nothing
I use gs player - free cab can be found here
Never had a problem with it and I listen to a small radio station in Ibiza.
Also just checked out your station and i got it.
Open gs player, then go to file/open url and type 78.129.196.104:8074 and its all OK and working.
Might not be the easiest way but it works for me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This method worked for me - Clicking on the Winamp link on your website allows you to save the playlist to your desktop. I then saved the playlist for your radio station to my device and opened it with TCPMP and it worked fine for my device this way.
Thanks a lot!
Now i can refresh my site with the information!

Audio over Bluetooth question

Hi all, I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this forum about how to connect my SX66 (WM6.1) to my Windows XP PC over Bluetooth so I can listen to my mp3s or internet radio on my HIFI system that’s connected to my PC?
I am using a Bluetooth USB stick and I have them both paired using the BT software the came with Windows XP.
I had tried BlueSoleil software in the past to listen to my music but I didn’t find it practical because it keeps disconnecting and I would need to pair them again.
I am running ROM version: 6.141 WWE, RADIO version: 1.02.10 and ExtROM version: BLACK KERNEL
Thanks
first of all let's make sure i got the question right:
you want to stream audio from your sx66 to your pc, right?
well that is no problem in general, since the sx66 is known to have better BT quality than most of the other BA models (further range, higher tx rate).
since windows xp does not come with a proper usable bluetooth client (unlike vista) i woul generally recommend bluesoleil, because it can be a handy tool, once you got all the settings right. plus you don't need extra drivers, since most of the BT chip manufacturers work with bluesoleil.
then all you have to do is pair your device with your pc and once that's done, set bluesoleil to allow the device to do all further things in all areas without further confirmation.
then you need to make sure you have the a2dpfix on your sx66, which is needed for stereo bt stream.
then, when paired, start wmp and play music, and look in the mixer on your pc, if a signal comes in, and what channel and turn it up / activate it for audio input.
(let me repeat that all this is so much easier in vista, and for every step i made the other day i have to think of 5 ones which are necessary to do the same on xp)
then your stream should work as long as you don't close wmp, if you do so and then want to continue playing, you need to connect to your pc in your BA's bluetooth app again, but need no settings on the px anymore which i guess is a relief.
back to the basics: if you really want to do that, you can do it now, but still i can't think of a reason why anyone should do that, i suppose the mp3s your playing come from your pc and you could play them there anyway, your pc can probably also play internet radio.
if that is a "i turn the screen off and control the music with my mobile!" thing, i can give you another freeware, with which you can control winamp, whenever you are connected via activesync, no matter if you are doing that via cable, cradle, BT or wi-fi.
i just gotta look it up, i don't have it right now either but it is great!
e.g. i want to control my music while playing, but with full screen games and without media keys on the pc's keyboard i need an external winamp control to (plus it also provides jump to and other things media keyboards can't do).
EDIT: i could not find the program i had to control winamp from my device, but it was a bit older, even worked with wm2003se, but i did find, that people do like to control their pc players from mobiles, therefore, a thread was made, to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294524
greetings Chef_Tony
P.S. please re-post, if it worked and if that is what you actually asked.
Thanks
Thank you for the quick reply; Yes you understood correctly.
It seems that BlueSoleil is the only solution for what I want to do, so I reinstalled (version: 6.4.245.0) again with the A2DPFix.CAB and it’s working for now.
Do you know where I can find a cab file to install on my BA to enable the rest of BlueSoleil services (Bluetooth phonebook….)? BlueSoleil is asking me to install “symbian\IVT-wm(1.0.2).CAB” on my device, but it doesn’t work and the only file I can find on this forum is the “bluesoleil_r2.arm_163.zip” for magician.
actually, for other services, like dialing, phoebook, sms and stuff i would suggest pairig the device, and setting up activesync via bluetooth, your phonebook is to be found in outlook then and for writing sms and completely controlling your device i would suggest MyMobiler, which is a freeware remote program which gets the BA's screen on the pc and you can control the device via the pc's keyboard and mouse. i also use that for making screenshots of new roms and stuff, it's free and works with activesync, so cradled, BT, wi-fi doesn't matter. that of course, doesn't 100% satisfy your question, i guess. i'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but be sure to check in this thread later, because i will edit, as soon as i found something that really brings you the services.
Thanks for the info. MyMobiler works great
By the way I uninstalled the A2DPFix because the sound was choppy.
Good evening,
Well MyMobiler is not working everytime on my device and i'd appreciate to find bluesoleil CE if it allows you to send sms from PC without having to link it anytime.
Have a nice evening.

Is it possible to stream music w/MetroPCS

i got my touch flashed to metropcs and everything is setup mms/sms, gps, internet, but all music i try to stream gives me a error. Will i be able to stream music on any player? I tried Tcpmp, Coreplayer and 1 or 2 others with the same outcome.
Yes.
There are at least a couple ways - First, try going to tuned.mobi and streaming from there(by default MPM should open), I am able to stream from sites in both the US and the UK with no problem. Second, give Kinoma Player a shot, part of that program has a radio search and stream function and you can save your radio stations for one-click play - it works VERY well...and, when I downgraded from winmo 6.5 to my own 6.1 rom (I made it using PPC Kitchen with Metro PCS splash screen and all) I was finally able to use the Pandora app in areas where I have good coverage.

Putting it to good use again

Hi!
My trusty Blue Angel is lying in a drawer since I've gotten myself an Android device which has proven to be much more convenient.
But I'm still looking for a way to put my BA to good use again.
My most recent idea is to convert it into a wireless media center. I'd like it to access web-radio channels and the music collection on a NAS server in my home network. The audio could be transferred by a bluetooth connection.
Does anybody know if there is a Winmo program that can access both web-radio and networked storage devices?
And is there a cheap Bluetooth device that can transfer audio to active speakers or hifi equipment?
Dirk
The integrated windows media player is capable of accessing web-radio stations, i listen to 1LIVE automated every morning over WLAN thanks to ageyes alarm clock, which can starty any program with any command line as an alarm.
I'd be interested in accessing an NAS too...
P.S: I also use a BlueAngel in its craddle as a digital photo frame at work. Works quite nice.
