Here's a test version that should work with AVRCP (buttons on a BT stereo headset). It maybe works with some other WMP plug-ins like Voice Control, too.
The ZIP contains just the MortPlayer.exe, which must be copied to the directory of an existing installation (b48 recommended, but should work with older RCs, too) on your PPC.
Please tell me whether it works for your device, and if not, which WMP version and BT stack is used, and if there are additional plug-ins like Voice Control or GROM.

I can't get the new exe to run. When I launch it, the initial screen comes up for a couple of seconds and it looks like it's trying to load but then crashes. I'm using MortPlayer V3.31 RC5 as the base version and the WidComm stack on an X51v.

Also, when I tried to download the b49 version I got a page not found error.

yep I get the same problem

Oops, sorry, should have been b48 as base version. b49 will be the next one when it's running properly...
Which WMP version is on your device?
Do you have VoiceControl or any other WMP plug-in (like the car kid) installed?

Here's a version with some debug messages and improved error tolerance.
It should show the WMP skin filename, complete line and position of the required controls, and maybe some WMP plug-ins. Please tell me if there's something unusual, like no skin filename, strange positions (should be x,y,width,height) or a missing "Plug-in initialized" for a WMP plug-in.

not sure what I should be looking for. It goes through the series of screens, finds the skn, go through a series of button lines. Each produces a NA line. Pushed, Disabled, and series of pushed settings. ending with a button setting screen. Then it loads the first BT remote control plug in and says it is initializes. The second Integrates a2dp functionality hangs and then goes back to the today screen.

I am using wm5 on x51v wmp10 Version 10.2, build 14957. I hope you get this working. Mort is my favorite player. I've already been to the gym today so I can ast in this state of withdrawl until tomorrow -- maybe!!!! again thanks for your hard work.

That's strange... Which skin are you using? Could you attach the .skn file, or write some examples of the complete lines?

Seems like it requires more interface functions than I currently integrated. I didn't want to implement the entire WMP object model, which is very overloaded... I'll create another version with some messages that tell me what's missing...

Next test...
This should show the correct button locations - this time with left/bottom position instead of width/height, and only an internal id (e.g. 0=Play/Pause).
Additionally, there should be some message like "xxx not implemented!" for the second plug-in.

I'm using the default wmp skin portrait. Haven't made any modifications to wmp becuase I don't use it . :) I will try to gather the screen shots during the day and zip them to you at you website. Unfortunately, things are bit hectic today, but I will see what I can do.

EDIT: I loaded the new build. It shows just button changes as in the first image. Everything goes fine until the last screen. It seems to hang and then reverts to my today screen.

Well, next try...
Removed the button messages, as this seems to work fine, and added some more messages in the WMP "emulator". I hope this brings me a clue why it crashes... and I hope it doesn't slay you with messages... ;)
However, I'm also a bit confused why there are two separate plug-ins for "BT remote control" (probably the AVRCP part) and "A2DP support" (which should be part of the sound driver).

When I run this version, I get the following messages:

WMP skin: \Windows\portrait192.skn
Load WMP plug-in 'Integrates Bluetooth A2DP functionality with Windows Media Player Mobile'

After I tap "ok" on the second message, it hangs for a few seconds and then exits.

Weird... I've got messages in almost all WMP interface functions that are contained in the WMP10 SDK. Seems like Microsoft added some undocumented new ones...

I hate it when that happens!! no pressure, but i'm anxiously waiting.................
keep up the good work.

sto-helit.de

Yet another test version...
This should bring up some more messages (probably too many to be usable...) and might get as far as "Plug-in loaded" for MS' A2DP plug-in without crashing. However, I doubt it will work. It seems like I'd have to fake lots of OLE and .NET interfaces, too...
It's really weird... The plug-in has a function that's called to set the WMP core interface object. Then the plug-in uses the interface set by the function to get the functions it already received by getting the interface via some quite complicated OLE and .NET interface functions...

sto-helit.de

Next test version...
Once again with lots of test messages, it maybe even could work...
For those without those troubles, there's also a version included without messages.
