i installed a mp3 player and afterwards i uninstalled it, i lost my file associations to media player, how will i get it back? plz help..tnx
The easiest way is to use Resco Explorer to reassociate .mp3 extension to Media Player.
Otherwise, check your registry and find under the
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MP3File\Shell\Open\Command]
to have the value below:
@="\\Windows\\wmplayer.exe \"%1\""

Hi
Posting it cause people here can have enough knowledge to help me.
I have problem with library on my htc touch2.
First of all I don't want to use Windows Media Player on my desktop computer.
I keep my music on \Storage Card\My Documents\My Music\.
I also have some wav files ringtones on Device and some wav game files on \Storage Card\Games\.
I want to been able to play music in WMP mobile.
If I clear my library (delete XMEMediaLibrary.mlb) and tried to use files browsing instead of library browsing I can't select multiple files to add to current playlist, is there any way?
If I want to add my music to library I must go to 'update library' with no any directory selection to scan, it result that my library have all audio files from device and sd card. I know I can remove XMEMediaLibrary.mlb from Device to restrict library to sd card only but don't want to have game's audio files in library also.
Also when I put new music on sd card I must 'update library' and again delete .mlb file from device, right?
It's really pathetic! is there any way, maybe some registry tweaks to make WMP mobile library scan only My music directory? it must be something :/
nobody knows any sollution?
I'm trying to play AVI files across my network from a samba share in Rockplayer. I use Astro or ES file manager but neither of them will open AVI files in rockplayer.
Any suggestions?
I´ve been trying to figure this out too, but no luck so far.
i dont think android does file association does it?
If your handy with the terminal you could mount the share to a folder on the sdcard, then browse to it from rockplayer.

The problem is astro and estrongs file manager are more like samba share browsers - they let you view the share files and folders, but when you try to access any files, they have to copy them to a local directory first. It's more like ftp access in practical terms, rather than true network filesystem access.
So if you succeeded in associating rockplayer with avi files through either astro or estrongs, then the moment you click on an avi file from your samba share, they'd copy the file to your sdcard entirely before it would begin to play. So at best, setting the association would only save you the effort of manually copying and pasting the avi file. Either way you'll be waiting a few minutes for the file to copy to a directory local to your phone.
If you want to access avi files over a samba share directly, you'll need to root and use cifs to mount the samba share on your sdcard, so that the share appears part of the phone's filesystem. Then you can just browse using rockplayer's own file manager throughout your samba share, and play avi files the moment they're clicked on, without any file copy operations or waiting around.
when i got my desire 3 weeks ago i was in the same quandary, and i ended up going the rooted phone with cifs option...

Another way of sorting this easily is using VLC Stream & Convert - with the added advantage of being able to browse your whole computer and mapped drives and stream data.
I'm using root file explorer to connect to my Samba shared NAS (goflex home).
If I copy a .mkv file to my local sdcard, when I click the file (in file expert) it gives me the popup of what program I want to open the video file in. I click mxplayer, it plays just fine.
But if I connect via SMB to my NAS, when I click the same .mkv file, it won't let me pick a video player; instead it says it can't find a default program for this type of file, do I want it to search for one or no thanks. Search for one fails, and no thank just returns me to the File Expert screen. If I want to take the time (and SPACE) I can copy that same mkv file to my sdcard and play it.
So, my question is, how do I get file Expert to give me the video player prompt when connecting via SMB?
As a side not I've tried ES File Explorer in Lan Mode and always get Login Failure connecting to the goflex_home NAS (even though I've triple checked the login credentials and am using the same as in File Expoer).
I've also tried Avia to use DLNA and it sometime works but it doesn't show my Samba shares, it shows my DLNA shares and for some reason doesn't show all of them, including the files I want to play (and yes I shared them already with the Goflex Home config panel.
tl;dr -- how do I tell file expert to use mxplayer when browsing SMB shares, instead of the popup asking to find a program to handle the file?
Edit: Made some progress; tweaked the ES File Expert connection settings to connect to the root of my share and can connect and it gives me the choice of what file player to use -- though it seems to fail streaming. the same file I can play fine from sdcard chokes and is unplayable over streaming.
Alternately, does anyone have a better solution for this problem entirely?
Edit2: Sorry a but more info. When the mkv file is on my sdcard and I click it, I get the same error popup. If I hold down on the file fore afew seconds, I can click "Open As" then "Video" then pick my player. But in SMB exploring, holding down doesn't have an "Open as" option in the menu.
i second this question... same here with samba!!!
anybody knows?
It gives me option to select the player.
Hi, is there any way to prevent the media player from recognizing all files? I noticed that on the stock rom, the media player was also recognizing mp4 video files and some ringtones, its also the same on the custom roms that i flashed, is there any way to limit the media player searching to certain folders? Thank you for your help
Using any file explorer, add a ".nomedia" file to the directories you want the media players to ignore files from.
