I'm trying to play a .mp4 video using Album Player and can't seem to get it to load. When I try playing the video either Pocket Player comes up (horrible playback as it's very slow) or it winds up in pictures and videos (doesn't play at all).
When I click on the file and go to "open with" the list shows Pocket Player or Pictures and Videos.
I'm sorry but I've ran a search here and on PPC Geeks and I know I saw a thread a couple of days on how to do this. The problem is that there are now too many threads about people mentioning how hard it is to watch video on this device. I'm almost afraid to install 6.5 now because who knows what that will break (sorry for the rant).
Thank you for your help.
Hi, you can try to associate the file in Total Commander with HTCAlbum.exe
I'm looking for a music app that does the following:
plays music from a folder, without having to create a playlist.
resumes playback from the track position on restarts.
supports shuffle all/repeat all tracks from a folder.
I used to use Just Playlists, but after upgrading to the latest OTA and rooting with unrevoked3, it no longer resumes at the track position the app exited from.
Astro beta player spikes CPU usage to over 80% (according to watchdog lite).
Mort player does not resume track position reliably.
Most of the other ones I've tested from the market fail at the resume track position function.
Any other app suggestions?
Mixzing. I love it.

+1 Though what you describe sounds like some old-school pTunes from the PalmOS days! MixZing is probably the closest you'll get that I know of.
mixzing does not do play from folder (must use playlists), and does not do resume track position on restart.

Guess I'm not sure what you're saying here. I use mixzing and don't use playlists.
i have several folders of music that I play, and do not want them intermixed on playback. Mixzing can play your entire library, by album, by artist, or by playlist. If I only want to play... say... a folder of trance mixes, I must create a playlist to just play that folder.
Mixzing also does not restart the track from the last played position when exiting and then restarting.
Unsure about the resuming of the track, but I use one called Lithium Player. It has some options to allow you to change the color scheme of the widget and allows you to set which folder you want it to play from along with all the other features your looking for I believe. Check it out, might do what your looking for.
The newest mortplayer. Thank me later.

uhm.... reread my first post.
"Mort player does not resume track position reliably."
I already have the latest version of mortplayer, mortplayer for ebooks, and the mortplayer widget installed. While I loved the winmo version of it, the android version lacks features that were present in the winmo version, such as
"resumes playback from the track position on restarts."
you can test this out if you want. Play a track on mortplayer. Then pause it. Reboot your phone or kill the mortplayer process/task. Open mortplayer. It will open to the track you were playing, but will have moved the slider back to 0:00.
Just Playlists did this fine, but now I have lost that functionality after going to froyo and rooting with unrevoked3. I have already emailed the developer, but he could not isolate the issue, so I'm looking for alternatives.
I'd like to see some suggestions too. I was using Mortplayer, but if you leave it paused for too long it forgets your track position and starts it over. Besides this, it also seems to be bugging out my alarm clock periodically.
Stock player does not support BT fwd and rwd buttons? Lame.
Can anyone suggest a music player that supports BT controls, remembers track position, and is just generally a good music player?

I play music by genre when using mixzing. All of my music is properly tagged by genre so if I select the hip hop folder in 'genre' all I have to do is long press hip hop and a menu pops up with 'play' as an option. I select play and it will play all of that particular genre. The paid version of mixzing also lets you edit tags and comes with a 10 band EQ.

I've been looking for the exact same thing. Player Pro is the best I've found so far. The resume is not 100% reliable, but it tends to keep the position after reboots (though I don't really reboot often enough in the middle of podcasts, etc to say this with any authority). Adding a bookmark feature would help. It's very good, folder-wise, I think, though the auto-detecting of folders (there's no manual refresh) can be frustrating when trying to listen to something just downloaded. Also, it's pretty good looking. Definitely shows a lot of promise.

Incorrect. I use MixZing everyday when I walk to work and it certainly does pick up where you left off in the track. I just even check it now - literally holding the phone, clicking the widget, it opened the last song I was listening to and there it is - it's still paused at 3:34 - and I've even rebooted my phone several times today b/c I've been flashing themes.

I'll vouch for that as well.
Also, the developers are quick to respond to questions.
Cubed is the best one I've ever seen. Its free on the market.

Meridian supports bt controls.
Cubed looks nice but I have trouble navigating around, its confusing.
Music Player Pro Haaaaannnndddss down the BEST!!!!
You def.ly should try out Player Pro AKA Music Player pro. This is one of the best music App available... It got all the option you listed plus you can choose 4 different skin for the player including a WMP...
Mixzinger
I just tried several times on Mixzinger and it does not resume playback from where it was left off. I just can't believe that there isn't a music player out there that can pull off this most basic function.
MusicMod is a pretty legit app, its froyo only though

Good day to all!
I have tons of music videos on my DHD and i just want to have a video playlist.
is there a way to create a video playlist or way to play videos continuously without having to scroll and play the next video?
thanks!
If you're actually watching the video playing the next one shouldn't be a problem.
If you just listen to the music, I guess the best thing to do is to get music version of the song only.
I noticed today after trying to do some samba sharing with my desktop that when I would go to watch the video I was unable to use anything other than the default android Video Player. Just so you all know: Yes I have other video players installed, also Yes I have gone into app settings and removed all default apps from being default. After doing all of that I still do not see any other of my video players when I go to watch any of these videos. Thank you all for any help you may have.
