I've recently tried uploading media files to my phone but they won't play. The first film I uploaded was an AVI file. This didn't play because I don't have a divx player on the phone. Does anyone know where I can download a player for my phone?
Second film I tried to upload was a dvdrip in Mpeg~1 format. This didn't play in the media player either.
Could anyone tell me the best way to get some films onto my phone?
To transfer the files I have just been dragging and dropping them into the storage card.
First of, I would recommend Coreplayer to play divx movies and what not. It's smart to get the blackstone video converter which was in the rom section I thought, use the search function
Sorry for spellingerrors, typing this in the bus on myblackstone which is a tad bumpy! Cheers.
There is a video converter in this forum which converts many types into ones which the video player from HTC (from the album) can play.
If you dont want to have to convert the films I would also reccomend using coreplayer. Its not free but it is worth paying for.
If you want a cheaper option you can download divx mobile player for free. It wont play the files as smoothly as coreplayer though.
Thanks for the advice. £20.00 is pretty steep. I don't think I would pay it. Are there any free versions of this software?
I remember converting media files for my Ipod once and gave up after 30 mins of converting a heroes episode hadnt finished the conversion. I'll give it another go on here though.
I'll try downloading the divx mobile.
Hey i'm absolutly new on this forum, just got my htc touch hd and i really like it. yes i was really frustated that it didn't play avi or mpg files, therefore i started downloading mp4 files when i came across this wonerful site, these files will play on your htc touch hd, the site is
http://www.vietfiles.org/phim-ma-downloads/40603-mu-high-quality-psp-movies-tv-shows-mp4-format.html
althought it's on megaupload which is annoying downloading one by one

It's up to you to decide whether £20 are too much. Anyway it does the job and does it quite nicely.
If not, you can try TCPMP - it's free, just google it up. I haven't tried it, though.
Do you need a membership to download films at vietfiles? i clicked on the film links and then there is no download icon on the next screen.
I've downloaded divx mobile. Extracted the files using WinRar and then dragged the two files, setupPocketPC and Divx Player onto my phone.
Neither of the two files will open on my phone. The setup one says its not a valid pocket pc application. The divx one says there is no application associated with the divx player it tells me to run the first file first then this one within it.
I then tried opening the file on my PC but it asked for Microsoft Active sync, however I can't upload active sync onto my computer because I'm running the dreaded Vista.
Help guys, anyone else faced this problem?

Vista is not to blame here. Active Sync is now called 'Windows Mobile Device Center'. Download it from Microsoft, install it in Vista, establish a partnership with the device, sync your device.
Then you can run the Divxsetup in Vista, it will call ActiveSync/MBDC and install the CAB file on your device.
I use the built-in HTC album player though. MPEG4-ASP compressed video in an MP4 container is the format that works best. Use the video converter frontend mentioned above.

nah when you click on the link it gives you, that should open a new window then in that window it goes to vietfiles then 3 secs later it should automatically redirect you to the megaupload site and download from there
if that doesnt work
try highlighting the link then pasting in your browser
For anyone using the file service Put.io, this app lets you stream and locally store MP4 converted videos.
This was my 1st WP7 app, learning the ropes etc - however I will not work on it in its current state (a redesign is required)
However, until the day I get my act together feel free to try this version for free and watch those videos easily
More dev updates will be found at X-Volt.com
P.s this can only run videos on a device that is not connected to the computer!
thx workshop2
I forgot to say, tap and hold items for the context menu (the only working options are stream/open video and download a video - if the file is local then it can also be deleted)
A few bugs?
Great app if I could get it to work. When I sign in an error pops up saying:
Error converting value "2558511245" to type 'System.Int32'.
I press ok and it continues to connect. I go to my files folder but I havent been able to get it to download. I get another error saying theres a problem with mediaplayer....Then it signs back in with your user key and api secret. So I start all over and try to stream the movie. That worked.....almost :/ I had picture, but no audio. I checked the movie from my laptop and the movie does have sound. It just doesnt have sound while streaming to my WP7 HTC. Another thing is there anyway that our user key and api secret can be saved so we dont have to sign in every time we open the program or it crashes? That's also happened a few times. It crashes and I get a black error screen with a lot of writing.
So I have been driving myself crazy trying to get it to work. Do you think you could fix these issues in your next update?
Thanks so much!
Oops, I forgot I had my API key being saved (bit of a security issue there...)
To stream video you can't have the phone connected to the comp, but it runs fine on my phone (Omnia 7) however sometimes put.io conversions arn't always perfect.
If you can give me some more of the error message (converting number to int) so I can fix that for you, but as I said im not planning on doing much with this application as im going to rebuild it once im less busy. You can only download/steam films that have been converted, and to download you hold down on the item to bring up the context menu, then click download.
You can find the settings saving error fixed in the latest attachment at the top of the screen.
Thanks

Thank you for fixing the save settings. I've been filling my put.io account up with converted .mp4 movies. I bought a subscription to put.io so that I can use the app you developed. However when I open the app on my phone, the movie list shows up, but I'm not ablt to do anything with them. They wont open at all for streaming or downloading and I don't have my phone plugged into the computer when using the app. I cant hardly wait until you have the time to rebuild this app. When all the bugs ahve been worked out I think this app will be amazing. Until then I wait in frustration.........
Well I will say it could be months until I am able to do anything as this was just a research application into WP7 development (I learned many lessons )
For the moment, if you could give me more details about the movies not working - does an error appear? What does it say? Have you double checked Put.io to see if the videos are converted? All this information can help me see if I can fix anything...
I know the Mango update brings more video streaming capabilites in the near future, maybe that will help.
P.s I hope you lying about buying a sub to use this app

No, Im not kidding. I paid for a sub to put.io I've been adding .mp4 files to put.io from mobilism.org. The files are in .mp4 format. If I add them from my computer through Zune, they work on my phone, just not through the put.io app. At this time I am not getting any errors popping up because Im not able to do anything at all as I mentioned before.
Out of curiosity, I added an .avi movie to put.io and then from the site, converted it to .mp4. I wasnt able to view it from the app so I reinstalled your previous app and signed in. The .avi movie file showed in my list and I was able to stream it. However it buffered a LOT. I tried to download the file and eventually the app crashed. So I added the latest updated app back to my phone. Which puts me where I am now, still not able to download or stream my .mp4 files. Am I doing something wrong??
No, it sounds like the application isn't working. Dont hold your breath for a quick fix as im extremely busy at the moment. Thanks for the interest though, makes me want to do it even more (btw, what device are you using?)

I have the HTC Surround. Ok, I'll just just check back now and then as I am very interested in using your app
After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to get the movies to stream to my phone. I have to upload torrent .avi files to put.io and then convert them to .mp4 from the site. Uploaded .mp4 files wont work for some reason. However, I also found an app ~ yomomedia. With yomomedia I can rss my put.io files and stream them to my phone. The stream player lets me rewind or fast forward through the movie and also saves my place if I need to leave the screen. With the put.io wm7 stream player, I can only pause the movie. If I leave the screen I loose the movie all together.
Just thought I'd let you know
I know this was touted as one of the features in Mango i tried toying around with this and couldnt figure it out. I can start a playlist on the phone in mango, but the problem is after that one song, i cant figure out how u add more songs to that playlist has anyone had any success figuring this out?
I think that while the playlist is playing, you can go to different songs and if you hold one down, there should be the option to add to current playlist.

You cant do it.. that 'playlist after mango' function is useless.. just a marketing propaganda '500 features' thing ...

You cant add anything to existing playlist..
So suppose you like song A, you create a plalist and save it there.. than you like song B, so only thing you can do is create another playlist and save it there.. So say you like 100 songs .. you can save them in 100 diff playlist, but cant create one playlist and add all of them to that one..
Thats why is useless.
You can create playlist, but you cant make any playlist..
While playing a playlist, you can add more songs to the current playlist. You have to save the current playlist to keep the changes.
Big fail in that you can't remove songs from a playlist.
Thanks MS for making playlists intuitive and easy.
ok, i really have the lg optimus L9 from tmobile. but no forum yet for the L9 so here i am. just got the phone and am new to andriod, have ice cream.
just want to play a frickin mp3 and avi files that are on the sd card. if i use file manager and naviagate to avi video, i see a small thumbnail. but when i try to click it i get 'try again after scanning media file'. no idea how to scan media files. navigate to mp3 and click get a choice of google play music or music player. music player gives me again "try again after scanning media files'. now all of a sudden the google media works for my mp3 - no idea why.
guess i am trying to understand how to scan media files. and which program will use the library, google play music or music player. and how can i play video. i am ok with even purchasing a player as i really like to play just about any format without having to convert. what is the player out there that will play the most formats?
thanks
For media searching use the SD Sync app from market. Works well.
where is the best place to go to download apps?
Google Play ofcourse
ok. guess i am trying to figure for now
1) if i copy a media file to my storage card, how can i play it right away, without having to update my whole library. i want to download, point an applicaiton to it an play it.
2) what is the video player that can play the most formats?
1)Open the file with file manager. I prefer the root explorer.
2)LG stock player supports everything, at least no problems even with .mkv packed files.
Oh, you got the L9. Not sure about yours but must be same i think
Also if the file was downloaded from web, you can select/open in directly in the download manager.
Just Figured this out M'Self
OK, just had same issue (same 'system message') trying to watch videos using the built-in Video Player. Maybe it was the first time I used it, but I was actually trying to figure out how to use the new 'Q-Slide' feature to watch a video while doing something else on the phone.
I actually pulled up the manual PDF (downloaded from LG, here), then <CTRL+F> (searched the document for similar system mssgs), and got a 'hit' on Page 49 of the OEM manual (my search, BTW, was 'media files'--'scan for' never found it).
You have to let the system do this for the 'FileShare' app also (I'm sure it's about 'indexing'), so I did, and it worked.
Not so much a 'system error', as a little 'systemic quirk' (much like a cosmic queef)

I suppose this may classify as a galaxy note 2 trick. Currently I have my old music on a website that streams it for you. I would like to recover this material as a saved file but it only streams it. I am looking for a way to do it on my mobile for I don't have my pc anymore and forgot my login. I know there are ways to download streaming videos via apps. I want to download my streaming mp3's. I am aware of a way with firefox using "about:cache? Device=memory" but that's on pc. Ide just like to recover the songs I have produced with the only computer I have which is my note 2.
It's official the about:memory?Device=memory code in firefox works. Find the correct link in the cache. You just need the view source add on to copy and paste the encoded link to an online url decoder, copy and paste the decoded link to the firefox browser. Long press the play button then you can save the audio. (Tested on soundclick)
Basically you can download any song you stream that doesn't have downloading enabled, directly to your Android. Someone should make this an app.
Apollo...you should make an app...
You are capable of this I'm sure..
That would be cool....g
