Hi
I've tried copying .mp3 files to the Nexus and they work fine, end up in the music section of the phone as expected. I've even put photos on the phone, but I can't put video files.
When I plug my phone into the computer I proceed to move my .wmv files onto the phone into the 'movies' folder, but I cant find it on the phone. I've tried putting my files into the 'pictures' folder etc but still nothing.
However when I go to settings>storage I can see that my video file on the phone is actually there as my total available memory will decrease.
How do I import and play .wmv and other video files on this phone? I've searched a few threads but nothing directly answers this that I could find.
That isn't right, someone want to give some detail on this? Haven't tried it yet but it would be good to know. Maybe the Nexus doesn't accept .WMV.

The W in WMV stands for Windows, just a little hint as to why it may not be supported in Android. That doesn't mean a codec for Android (ICS) isn't available.

thanks..and as far as setups go.... I am not running any modifications, roms, roots, flashing or whatever other tricks that most are. My sprint samsung galaxy s epic4g sph-d700 is NOT moified ANY different than the day I purchased it. 100% factory settings, not even an ota upgrade done. As far as what's happening, the music player/ers don't seem to remember some 200 tracks I've been playing since I found my mp3 download capabilities. No files exsist, even after I play them from the file, in which they only exist, through the players their instantly gone once I close the player, although they still remain in the original file they were downloaded to. The media, movie, player is doing the same with the handfull of movies I've installed. My movie player was full , like music players were, yesterday, now "no files exist", says the according app. To add all of my camera pics and image downloads are wiped clean from the gallery. If I snap a new pic it will show up in the gallery, until I close it. When I return their gone, but again still exist in its folder. I don't get it and need a bit of advise on my next move to fix. Thanks people. I hope I've explained my issue good enough for diagnosis.

Back up everything on your sd card and format the card. See if that helps

interesting problem u have there.....I would try to back up all the music and format the sd card, then try it again if that fails then I would reccommend using a friends sd card to make sure its ur epics software and not the sd card. Also if u want to try a great music player app, winamp is free and works very nicely. Good luck I hope everything works out for u.

I've tried a few times to copy a few .mkv files over to my Nexus and it continually crashes my Explorer. Details are:
- Connected via usb.
- Transfer method a simply copy and paste via Windows Explorer.
- Using Windows 7 x64.
- Already transfered .ogg, .avi, .mpg, .mpeg and no problems.
I saw this thread in the "similar threads" that popped up where there is a similar problem with the Xoom. I even tried using DoubleTwist but the newest version requires the device to be attached in mass storage mode. Bummer.
Has anyone had a similar issue? Apart from finding an easy transfer method (I'm currently setting up Songbird to try) I would like to know how transferring a .mkv file would crash Explorer. Please don't waste time saying Windows is crap (or any variant). It's not really that informative!
Any help appreciated.
Songbird doesn't support .mkv.
Google for "mkv windows 7 exlorer crash". It may be related to your installed codecs.
Ive had problems moving just small jpgs to the nexus from w7 64bit along with a few others, think one guy was even on a mac.
ive managed to move a mkv to the phone no probs tho.
when it does lock up while transferring i use wifi and this works fine, just not as easy as drag n drop in windows.
it's most likely the MTP which is blocking non recognized or non allowed extensions
I was able to use WiFi File Explorer to transfer my .mkv files. I'm guessing any similar manner would work as well.
Ditto
Just got my Nexus today. Naturally, the first files I tried to copy were a batch of 3 720p, H.264-encoded Matroska video files (.MKV). Explorer crashed and respawned.
Tried again. Explorer crashed and respawned.
Read this thread and renamed '.mkv' to '.mkv_'. No problems.
It seems already my gut reaction to the lack of a removable card and USB Mass Storage were justified...
(Now to see what codecs this device supports playback of...)
I've been able to put .mkv files in the movies folder just fine.

its your divx codec, I had to uninstall all my codecs, otherwise it would crash explorer everytime i moved over a mkv video
you can rename the files, but a pure fix is to UNINSTALL DIVX.
after uninstalling it i have no issues with MKVs transferring anymore.
if your worried about that making you unable to play AVIs, go download the shark007 codec package. i have that installed and i can play all videos on my PC and can transfer everything without issues.
Just a quick question... Can galaxy nexus play 720p mkv files by default, or do you have to install an external player? If so, which?
Thanks!

it can't. best player is DICE Player, it's not free, but it's simply the best for MKVs. plays my 720p mkvs perfectly.
I have a bunch of MKV files that when I try to copy them to my Note, it crashes Windows Explorer. I typically get the dialog that says "Do you want to convert this file?" with all of my MP4/AVI files (and I always say "no"), but I don't even get that option with these MKVs. According to MediaInfo, the MKV is using Codec ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC and the MP4 is using "avc1".
I can, however, zip up the MKV file, copy it over to my Note, unzip and it plays fine...but that's a huge pain, IMO. I also don't want to have to re-encode any of my MKVs (all under 720p), since they actually do play on my phone via MX Video Player.
Is there any way to get my phone to just connect as a mass storage device, like with my SII, instead of as an "MTP device"?
Anyone? This is the same for the TF300 tablet as well.
Do you have all the right drivers? As well you could adb push and it should copy successfully.....I have done this before with a video but not an mkv before.

What I've always found the fastest method is to pop out my sd card, plug it into my computer, and transfer it that way.
I prefer to keep my media on my sd anyway.
swyped all these spelling errors fro card m my galaxy note 2
There is an app on xda called GS3 ums mount or something like that. Google it. It will let you access the sd card in your phone as a external drive when you plug it into your computer. You can then drag and drop files as you wish.
Format your sd card to exfat to copy files larger than 4GB. The built in player from Samsung plays mkv or you can try mx player.

Unfortunately, you need to be rooted to use that app...sounds like it's what I'm looking for though.
One question!
I have put a 64 gb memory card in my phone, no matter what videos I put on it, won't be displayed, if I go to search I will then find them by file name but still not be able to play any of them, this picture will explain what I see, is this normal as we can't put anything to sd card? Or do I have a bad memory card? Many thanks for your help guys.

I personally never heard of a glg and lvl extensions. Maybe you need to rename those to the correct extensions. Samsung probably has the best stock video player out of all the other manufacturers including apple. It will literally play 99% of video files. The only time I had issue was with audio not playing on a file with dolby dts audio for which I downloaded BS Player to play. (BS Player visual quality sucks though compared to the Note 2's player) Good luck!
The problem is 64GB Card most likely ... they are still not perfected and you will get bad apples a lot !
Plus support on kernel side is flaky at best

Can you play the default video from the gallery? Perhaps try mx player from play store? Also try recording a video and see if that plays. the extensions in ur screenshot are not familiar to me.
ghl is usually temporary file and lvl is game video file, you may not open with PC too.
I think some fixer are available to repair such file
Thanks guys, I have mx player, the videos work fine before I put them on that memory card,

Hi All,
I did a search and can't find an answer.
First off, I'm running stock build JZ054K with stock kernel and modem. I'm rooted and all, just decided to install stock stuff for now. Of course that's 4.1.2.
When I transfer video files to the phone memory or the SD card, I'm having trouble getting them to play back. I've tried MP4, AVI, Wave and have also let the phone convert them as they transfer. The AVI won't play at all, it just says this file won't play. The wave will but has terrible quality. The MP4 is really finicky. Sometimes they will transfer and play part way through, sometimes all the way and sometimes not at all. Could it be the stock video player? I also have MX player but it doesn't seem to do much better. In fact it general does worse.
Should I let the videos convert or should I just transfer them as is. I've even had videos I took with the phone that didn't want to play.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
When transferring files to your phone make sure to not convert... Download (and there are many more apps but my favorites are) MXplayer or DicePlayer and watch the videos through that... Not only are there options within each players settings that allow you to adjust playback options for optimization but then at least you don't have to convert files (a copy of a copy is quite like the original, etc)
