[Q] Video player showing short clips of sound effect, Help - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys there's something weird bout my phone lately, the gallery and video player both show files of song (short clip like game effect of 3 second) in them. This is quite annoying of having like 300++ files in your video player, anyway to solve this?

Create a file named ".nomedia" in these video's folders.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to load videos for album player?

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

Remove unwanted files from music player

I installed the Asphalt game from the market and now there are close to 180 ogg files named raw* in my music player list. Is there anyway to get rid of them without unistalling the game?
I don't want to use some other music player since I like the default one's widget
Create a file with notepad and give it no name and the extention .nomedia place this in the directory that contains the items you don't want to be displayed in your media player and your problem is solved.
So you will end up this: ".nomedia" it's totaly empty but this is the way 2 go.
Worked perfectly.. Thanks!
Is there a similar approach to sorting images? The albums they show up in seem to be quite random. I'd like to define only certain folders to grab images from for the albums. I just can't figure out to manage photo albums at all.
i did it and worked at first but now i see them in music player. they are scanned again
edit: a restart fixed the issue and now they don't appear
Does it work with video files too? also wondering if it is anyhow possible to hide applications in program listing?
tried this, as my audio book files showed up in the music player, and it works...but...it also removes the audio book files from the audio book player! So I had to remove the .nomedia file again to be able to listen to my books
thanks! worked

Google Music Collecting System Sounds

Is anyone elses Google Music archiving or collecting their system sounds like ticket, camera click, video record, etc? I found that odd, but not sure if it's just me, or something I did or what. Basically If I'm hitting next next to try and find a song I like, its pulling those system sounds up and plays them. Very odd...considering they are OGG extension.

That is pretty strange, I was under the impression that Google Music would only contain music that you specifically uploaded...maybe you fed it a list of all the music you wanted uploaded and accidentally included a wrong folder?
As for the OGG part, Google Music plays nice with OGG files. I uploaded some ~40GB of OGGs from my laptop when I first signed up for it no problem. It's just a more compressed audio format but Google Music, like most media players that aren't iTunes or Windows media player do.
You may put an .nomedia file in folders you dont wanna show in app...maybe it work.

[Q] Anyone use N7 Player?

Hi,
Does anyone use N7 Player as a default music player?
If so, I was wondering if anyone knows how to display music that do not yet have an album tag filled in for the mp3 file..
I do not want to, and I do not plan on using any album tag downloading apps. (And also, these apps probably won't even help me because 99% of my songs are not English songs)
I am going through this exercise manually to ensure all my music files have 100% accurate album names, but until then, I still want to be able to see all my music in N7 Player... Any pro tips?
Also, another thing I want to ask is, whenever I add an album art to an mp3 file, I cannot seem to have the music player (ANY music player, not just N7) to show the updated album art... The only way I know how to refresh the album art is to reboot my phone, insert my music files, and then reboot again. (Even then, sometimes this doesn't work..)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Q] Media player recognizing video files

Hi, I dont know if anyone else is facing this same issue. The music player seems to recognize all media files including video mp4 files, it happens on stock rom and also on custom roms i ran. It also includes other junk files like ringtones and so on. is there any way to limit the music player to recognize only valid mp3 files or play files only from a certain folder? ive also downloaded a few music players like Apollo and playerpro and they are also facing the same issue. Thanks for your help

your Music Player will show every playable file in your phone.
atleast I don't know If there is anyway to limit music player to only show mp3 files..
The Alternate way I can suggest u that
place all unwanted ringtones in a folder and create a file
Named as ".nomedia"(without quotes) in the same folder.
This can tell the music player that the folder having ringtones have no playable files in it.
And the player will not show these ringtones.
u can do the same for mp4 files.
