Im using RockPlayer already and it still not working pal... Any ideas, do I need to copy the stuff across in a different way or what? can't I just copy from 1 place and past in the SD card?

What error do you see or does it mention exactly?
Check your file sizes are correct after transferring to the SDcard.
Can you post the file details using something like MediaInfo?
i.e. container, format, resolution, bitrate, FPS.

[Q] Videoplayer don't show copied avi file

Hello,
I have probably an absolut newbie question. I copied an avi video to the folder "myvideos" on the sd card. When opening the videoplayer it doesn't show the file. Neither can I search folders. How does this work?
Thanks for guiding me in the right direction.

I had this problem before.. It's either the video is corrupted or you have not copied it in properly. If you want a video player that is able to browse folders and play video, you might wanna try VPlayer.

Put Music to your SDCard ?
/Music

Hi,
There are the default songs that came with the phone in that folder. And I could see these songs in the music player, but now when opening the music player it says: "No music found"
And after using the eFile Manager app I saw that the songs are on the SD Card so they didn't move anywhere.
This also happened to my whole Gallery now. It says: no photos & videos found
What should I do???
The files are on the SD Card but not in the Gallery. Did unmount and remounted the sdcard several times and used the SDRescan app and everytime I use the Rescan app, the new pictures or movies I take before rescanning,, go away from the Gallery.
Please I really need help on this!!

Is it the standard SD Card that came with the phone?
If not, try a new SD card in there. All music in the sdcard/Music folder should be auto found as said above. If not, it sounds like there's a problem with your card.
Also, are you on stock ROM or rooted? Bought in shop or online?

Check if anywhere from the root of your SD card has this .nomedia file.
This nomedia file tells your gallery/music apps not to detect that part of the SD card.
Had this problem few months ago too

Yes it's a SD card that came with the phone (8gb Samsung) , I bought it online from Asia.
It was perfectly good until I got this problem.
I didn't do much with the phone in terms of changing the software or Rom. So it's the same Rom the phone came with (stock).

Hi,
The .nomedia files has nothing in it :s
I don't know if I have to buy another SD card because if the problem persists I lost my money on the SD card too :s
Grr,
Help guys

Delete the .nomedia file.

Hi!
It worked! Now I have my pictures and music back!
BUT I also took some videos :S
Where are these videos at? :S because they are not in the Video player :S and they are very important videos :S
Please help me with this!
Also how should I get rid of the sounds in my music player use the .nomedia folder then? because I have a lot of sounds from the apps and games playing in the music player while I'm listening to music.
and just having the .nomedia folder empty did hide all my music and picturesa and can't find my videos right now.
Please some help would be appreciated!
Thanks

u just got to place the nomedia right
f.e.
SDCARD
- media
- - music
- - videos
- Android
- - game1
- - game2
in this case u can palce the .nomedia in the game1 and game2 directorys, just not in the root sd folder
.nomedia prevents album&music to scan the directory & all subdirectories from scanning

Many thanks, this is the way to put music and play in DHD.

try remounting your sd card via recovery

Thank for explaining me this!
NOW I know how this nomedia thingy works.
I did it but STILL don't know where those videos went.
and I really need them

Why does that file .nomedia appear?
I had the same issue, and if not for this forum, i wouldn't know what to do.
Don't know how I got it on there. And more serious is, you think anyone else would look or just re-format. I don't know if it is a bug, but pretty serious if the average user has no clue what to do.

I don't know how the hell did the .nomedia file ended up in the root of my two sdcards, but I agree it's a serious problem, I was just preparing myself to do a hardreset and even to send my phone to repair when I found this thread.

I had the same problem 2 days ago and I formatted the SD card and everything worked fine after it.I remember seeing this nomedia thing in most folders but I also recall that some files got deleted (one avi and one flv).could it be a certain app issue?

Thanks

(Q)transfering .mkv files from pc to phone

i'm having problem transfering .mkv video files from my pc to my phone. Everytime i transfer a file , windows pops up "windows stopped working" and then just closed everything out. I tried to transfer small .mkv video files and samething happened. But if i transfer .mp4 or any other file, it transfered just fine. I reinstalled the samsung drivers a few times and it still doesn't work. It will work through kies but i get no audio. The only option for me is to take my microsd out and transfer the .mkv movies over and put the microsd back in the phone. Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

I have the same problem with this, transferring mkv files, while connected via USB, shows an error.
Any solution for this yet ?

Just simple rename your .mkv to. .MP4 file via winrar or etc.
and rename again in your phone to .mkv via file explorer

tried renaming to .MP4 and .AVI but it still didnt transfer, thanks for the suggestion though.
Oh and I also tried using a different file explorer (Total Commander), that didnt work either.

Do you have Kies installed on your pc? You can go in import/export tab, import a mvk file to your phone and see. I did it that way and it worked. I thought I didn't get audio because of Kies but I got no audio when I transfer it to my microsd card either. Maybe the phone doesn't bluray ripped audio or something. But you can try do it throughkKies and see if yours work.

try another file type not video format.. .txt,zip,rar,or something

This is a windows error type for .mkv files. It has to do with the divx codecs trying to render a preview thumbnail for the file. Google mkv divx windows codec transferring problem... it will tell you how to resolve... long story short... divx codec pack needs to be uninstalled. Then reinstall and disable thumbnail preview... worked like a charm for me.

Yeah I did that, checked the box "disable thumbnails" (but somehow I still have thumbnails) and when I transfer it, it tells me the size of the file is too big. A transfer of 100mb .mkv file worked
also tried to rename to .txt .doc and so on, still didnt work

I too had been able to transfer a smaller file... it was the larger ones that crashed. I uninstalled the divx codec AND player, reinstalled and disabled thumbnail preview at the program level...NOT the windows folder view level. If you do it in just the windows folder view level, you will get the same problem. It is tied directly to the divx codec. Hope this helps you out.

Used dropbox to get mkv files to my phone.

Uninstall divx from your pc, it will then transfer fine.

I just put my microsd card in my computer and do it that way

[Q] Music Files Disappeared...HELP!

I'm using cyanogen 10.2 on my sgh-i317 and recently downloaded an album (320kbps/mp3) through utorrent. It downloaded it to my download folder on sdcard 0. I then moved the folder to my music folder on my external sd and listened to a few songs off of it. When I got up the next day, the music files were not there. So, I downloaded it again on my PC and then transferred it to the same folder on my external sd along with another album from my collection. Both albums do not show up on the sd, either through ES file explorer or Apollo. The only notification I got was in windows when I was transferring them. It said something along the lines of these files may not be compatible with your device do you still want to copy them. I selected 'do this for all current items' and then clicked proceed. All my previous music files give me no problem and I'm having a hard time getting to the bottom of what is causing this. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Yes I know where they're supposed to be. I'm saying the folders are empty. They are there and I've even played some of the tracks and then they just disappear.

DRM issue with the player?
Is this for every type of file or just these?
Can you see the files when you are connected to a PC?
