Hi guys,
since i run HTPC with Windows Media Center on Windows 7 64-bit i was wondering how it works with Samsung's AllShare app. After setting up media streaming and sharing on Windows 7 and starting AllShare i see in all media categories in WMC under Shared tab my mobile device and i can browse media saved in SGS2. It works perfect for video files and music. When i choose Pictures i see thumbnails of pictures from SGS2, but if i choose some particular picture and want to display it i get message 'Unable to display picture.'. I can not start presentation of pictures too. There are normal JPEG pictures in SGS2 taken with camera...
Maybe it is problem of WMC, because when i choose 'push' type of display in Windows Media Player (i choose file on SGS2 side) it works ok and Windows Media Player displays picture i choose in mobile device. On the other side, when i copy some picture from SGS2 to other computer in network with Windows 7 it can be displayed without problems
I spent whole day looking for some solution how to display pictures directly in WMC, but without success so i appreciate any advice or at least answer 'Hey it works for me' so i know it is not problem of AllShare. Thanks.
Hi
Before lumia I had HTC HD2 and I was using wp7 on it for some time (but the baterry was horrible compared to android) and in Music & video app if I was playing music, background was picture of band or something like this, and there was also artist info. Now with lumia I don't have it.
Is it because I'm in Poland? And is there any way to make it be there (but I want to use my polish live account/ for hd2 I used US account, because I had to get this live access code...)
Did you check, if your ID3 tags are still valid. It's possible that other tags are read instead of the ones that the HTC reads. You have like 'Artist', 'AlbumArtist' and 'ContributingArtist' try filling up the blanks on your tags. On my Lumia, when I pres the 'power' button, the phone will light up and show me the tracktitle and artist from the song it's playing. No worries here!
Check also in Zune what happens when you import this artist/music.
No, ID3 tags are good, names are displayed properly. But when I had wp7 on HD2 (with US live account) in music & video app background was picture of band, and there was another "bookmark" for band biography, also tile was live and displayed currently playing band picture. And now with PL account and lumia there is no such thing.
It's the same for me as well.
I know it sounds silly but in settings/lock+wallpaper there is an option to show artist when playing music, Maybe something you overlooked? Also in Settings/Applications/music+videos connect with zune should be on, hope that sorts it for ya.
I have a few songs in other languages. The names don't display properly in Music hub, instead, they show up as random screwed up characters. this didn't happen before with my Samsung focus. do you guys know how to solve this problem?
Thank you

Check the mp3 meta tags on your PC, it might have some broken characters on fields thats not used on the android.
The Xbox Music hub on Windows Phone 8 is a freaking TRAIN-WRECK!! I'm just about to go return my Lumia 920 to the AT&T store over this very issue. I copy music over to my WP8 handset (I have to use Windows Media Player or just plain, old drag-and-drop, because the Windows Phone 8 desktop app refuses to run on my HP Pavilion laptop, running Win7 Home Premium x64, that I just bought in May; it says, "WindowsPhone has stopped working" EVERY SINGLE time I plug my phone into the PC), and the stupid xBox Music service rewrites metadata (ID tag) info on a lot of songs that I copy over to the phone, resulting in multiple copies of the same CD (2 tracks will be on the original CD; and 3 tracks may be on the new, Xbox-created CD, which may just be missing brackets around the words "Disc 1"); it deletes album art that I saw on the phone previously, and it downloads artist background images for only about 10% of the music I put on my phone! I'm VERY anal about the metadata (ID tag) info on my music files being correct, and I had NO problems like this on my Windows Phone 7/7.5 devices.
Putting music on my phones is very important to me, and it's very important to me that it work the way it should! I listen to music off my phone through my car stereo, and I don't want to have to carry around an additional device.

It doesn't matter what the metadata (ID tag) info says on your PC; once you copy it over to the phone, the Xbox music service will rewrite it if it doesn't match what it thinks it should be, scewing the hell out of how you had your music organized! The only way to prevent this is to turn off "Connect to Xbox Music Service" in settings, but then you won't get any artist background images!

Yes this is annoying indeed, I just noticed that you could disable the xbox music metatag option for the mac sync program, but the option seems to be missing on the windows app.
Before I make a seperate thread.... are there any good other media players for WP8?
I've only been using this phone for two days, but I haven't found any!
Im used to using Winamp on my Android device, its simply using the directory its store in albums, a nice progress bar you could slide through (handy for audiobooks). Does Wp8 even have something similar?

Hi guys... In my Music & Videos app, the artist images just won't show up. I've made sure that in the settings I'm letting the app connect to Zune, updated all my albums with find album info in Zune and then sync the albums with my phone. None of that has done anything. The image of the albums are showing up in the app, but not on the locked screen... the artist images just won't show up... :/ I have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520352 ROM... Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong? :silly:
Nothing. There are some restrictions due to region, for ex. showing music art in lockscreen. Zune can only show those covers that are available in marketplace, co if U can't buy music in marketplace in Ur region, therefore Ur player can't show covers in lockscreen

Tnx for the info... I solved by tapping on the artist, and then on the marketplace... Then wait for Zune to download the artist images...
I'll start off by saying I am NOT downloading another program to make this work, I am not downloading a different music playet and I'm not manually tagging each and every song with their lyrics.... never had to before and everything worked fine.
Having said that, my stock Android Music Player used to automatically download the lyrics to any song I was playing and it would display the lyrics without me doing anything else to the phone. All of a sudden, this is not working anymore. I have gone into the settings and made sure that the lyrics check mark box is ticked. I have a Note 3 on 4.4.2. This didn't work even before the kitkat update.
Thanks for any help guys!
