Any way to get WMP to auto rotate (g sensor)?

Does anyone know of a cab/hack to get Windows Media Player Mobile to use the TP2'S g-sensor to auto rotate the screen? I want to view in landscape mode without having to open the keyboard. Thx!

go here...

use that program...so you can map one of your hard keys to toggle screen rotation.

I have my back button set for double click to toggle screen rotation.

You can install G-Config, and add WMP to the list of apps that will rotate. I had this to auto rotate TF3D, but now I'm using the Energyrom leo, so I disabled TF3D (Manilla 2.5 doesn't support landscape).

Thanks! I had to update my .net compact framework to 3.5 first before it would run, but after that g-config did it's job and after a soft reset, WMP now rotates!

This place is great!

Thanks for the link to the key mapping app. I'll find this useful in other ways for sure! Thanks button pressed for you as well

You can do a lot with that app, like assign toggle for bluetooth or wifi, and even make a key like the envelope key be used as the cntrl key.

Question Re: Any way to get WMP to auto rotate (g sensor)?

Does anyone know exactly where in the Registry the list of programs which can rotate is located?

Found the keys at HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
Used Jmz and herg62123 Diamond2 G-Sensor.CAB to add a ton of apps to the list. However, IE still doesn't rotate correctly. Almost everything else rotates correctly. The key in the Whitelist is:
Internet Explorer REG_SZ IExplore
Does anyone know if perhaps with the later OS version the key should be different?
