Windows Media Player Today Plugin

[Pawel062]

Well i have finally found a working app that allows you to control your windows media player from your today screen. attached is a image and cab to install. big thanks goes out to the guys over at Artemis forum especially tom_codon for the cab! doesn't do volume but maybe someone can take it apart and add that.

yes i kow about sbptoplay but that does not control your media player. it gives you another media player. this is a imate plugin that allows you to control your media player from your today screen. allows change of songs and play/plause/stop controls.

It plays my WMP10 playlist so that's close enough for me.

not for me and probably others so here is another option for those that want full functionality.

After re-reading my response I realized that may have come across rude... didn't mean to! :)

I just meant that I thought it was a WMP plug-in.

First off, I love the WMP application, awsome awsome appl, I really think that Microsoft will pick up this idea.
My reason for this PM is ask you how I can get my windows live search bar to be transparent. Donations will be in order. Please please please.

I installed it on my Black 2.5 phone, but the plugin doesn't show up under the Today plugins. It doesn't show up under the Remove Programs applet either. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have soft reset immediately after the installation like it prompted me to (should have powered down, then powered up).

Can anyone who got this to work please describe how you installed it, and the OS you're running? Thanks!

im running black 2.5 but dont remember if i soft reset or not. i recently did a reinstall of black 2.5 because i had the lost memory card issue in media player and went to 3des.3 but switched back to black bc u know the saying ;) back on topic. i reinstalled it i belive before the vingular video cab which does a soft reset. try to reinstall the app once more and soft reset afterwords if that doesn't work post again and we'll try to figure it out.

Nope, didn't work - subsequent cab reinstalls didn't even prompt me for a soft reset. I did a shutdown, then restart but that didn't do anything either. Installed it to both SD card and main memory.

i had the same problem when i took the cab out of the extended rom. i then downloaded this cab and it worked. hmm go to this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304706)thread and try it from there. who knows maybe itll then work. if not then well keep trying.

[kltye]

Yup, the link in that thread worked - the filesize for the CAB is different though. Thanks for the pointers!

[Pawel062]
