If you are referring to the Windows Vista Portable Edition WMP skin, see the original thread where the files were posted over at SNSH.net. Another user created new skin files that fix the problem.

:D thanks a lot it works!!

I changed the ratings file to the standard bitmap file and it works good.

Here is a link to the updated skin files that work for Windows Vista Portable Edition (the updated landscape skin is 3 posts below the portrait skin): http://www.sbsh.net/forums/index.php...dpost&p=109559.

Only, D-Pad mapping works (Next, Prev, Vol up, Vol down and the action button can be mapped to Screen toggle-on/off)

I've just started using MP10 again after using TCPMP for ages, because I needed AVRCP support, and was wanting to map various buttons as I did in previous verions of MP and current TCPMP. The only thing I could think of is editing the section in the registry that deals with it. I found it too: under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/MediaPlayer/Preferences/ButtonMap are several keys corresponding to the various MP actions. One problem though: they're set in "8 length binary (though it looks more like hex to me) value" From the registry, here's the meaningful ones already set:

Rewind (Hold left) = 25 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
FastForward (hold right) = 27 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
VolumeDown (down) = 28 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
VolumeUp (up) = 26 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
Next (right) = 27 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
Previous (left) = 25 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
Play/Pause (ENTER) = 0D 00 00 00 01 00 00 00

ie the fifth number can be 01 for a short press or 02 for hold, 25 to 27 in the first number are the four directions on the keypad and 0D is the ENTER button.

The others all begin 00 (with 00, 01 or 02 as the fifth number), and are listed in MP as "Not assigned"

I've checked, and setting ToggleScreen (all 0's by default) to 0D 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 does change it to Hold ENTER in the settings screen, but in practice it doesn't register - it merely does whatever ENTER is programmed to do (ie play/pause). Clearing the Play/Pause setting means the slightest touch on enter performs the Hold ENTER function - ie MP doesn't discriminate "hold" for that button.

While mildly interesting, this doesn't do what I want. Does anyone know, or is able to deduce, the number values for the buttons (six, including the side ones)?

I'd rather do this than permanently allocate a third party screentoggle program to one of my valuable buttons.

I'd like to recommend you guys try Conduits Pocket Player. They've just released version 3.0 not too long ago and it now supports the playback of video files as well. On a further note, this new version also supports the use of WMP skins, whereas before it only allowed using WinAmp skins and specifically made Pocket Player skins. All in all, give it a try if you haven't already.
