[Q] Music player bug

The problem is while i'm listening to music and open the gallery app the player stops the song and start the next.
I am on stock rom and using stock music player, could this be because my memory card? Or just too bad phone for multitasking?
Thanks!

its not the multitasking bad phone for sure.. that's what i can say... i do that and much more all the time....
move your music player to phone memory, then you will be sure its not the memory card
and as the last step try another music player... there are many good ones ... i personally use Uber Music

The music player and the gallery app is on the internal storage, maybe i try to reformat my card, on my desire, recording 720 also lagged, then i reformated my card with 32 swap and now it works.

Ok so i find it out, the gallery app listed some avi files which caused the problem, i put a .nomedia file inside the videos folder and now it works.

Memory

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,

[Q] Music app that actually works

is there a music app that works? Everything i've tried either sends my SD card into a bltchfit and/or cannot play some files, or will play other song audio over the song i selected. poweramp, play music, isense, even winamp are all crap.
Is it the type of mp3's i'm using? Like something converted from flv or youtube to mp3? Could it be my 32gb microSD card is junky?

play music fails to read all of my music that I place on my sd card. e.g. I put 700-800 songs on it and it says I'll have 5xx songs on device.
Ok so it looks like the mSd card is corrupt. the 32gb i got doesn't like to play nice with the evo. I tried an old sandisk 2gb i had from years ago and it read every file on it (hard to slim down music choices to just 1.89GB)

dang thats a lot of songs lol

32GB Cards have never worked well on the Evo. A good music app is the one form MIUI

I think is your phone cause I use poweramp and also a 32gb card and dont have a problem. Try using a different card.

[Q] There Has GOT to be a Way...Convert Samsung Movies

I first purchased the GN/2014 Edition in the 16GB version. After finding out about the external SD limitations, I upgraded to the 32GB version. However, I would still much rather save my hdd drive space by putting movies on the SD card (preferably in a format my BluRay player can play read them but it not, I don't care what format it is as long as I can find, convert and move movies to the external SD card. I've been around long enough to know practically everything can be found (no matter how deep it's buried) and converted to a more user friend format.
So can anyone here direct me to where I can find the movie files and a converter that can make them playable outside the tablet
Thank you!
Monica

Open My Files - Settings - Check Show Hidden Files - browse to .samsungmediahub (or videohub something) - contents and move downloaded movies to extsdcard..
The movies can only play with the device, since its DRM protected and can use MHL 2.0 adapter/allsharecast hub to play up to TV.
How to convert and remove DRM, that I dont have a clue. Have never heard about .pvy format until today. Maybe someone else can answer that.

Thank YOU! I just knew it could be done. If nothing else I've got them off the internal storage and onto the external SD card AND I can store them on my backed up desktop computer.
Does anyone know of a DRM ripper and converter for pvy format. I've been looking but all my hits are misses

Music/iSyncr on SD Card?

So after being disappointed in the iPhone 6 and especially the Apple Watch, I just ordered an M8, 64GB SD card and a Moto 360.
I'm a little confused about SD card support though. I had an Xperia Tab Z and put a ton of music on it and it worked perfectly. Synced wirelessly to the SD card with iSyncr all fine. Showed up in Play Music just fine. But I've just read that SD card support is weird in 4.4.
I'd just like to know if iSyncr would work with the SD card and with Play Music on 4.4 and obviously L with the new phone. I'm a little lost with how SD cards work in 4.4 now, I know about the sandboxing kind of thing, but I just can't figure out if what I plan to do is still possible.
Also, I'm not too interested in custom ROMs and rooting this time around (I want to flash the GPe RUU and ROM when L arrives, keep the OTAs coming and spend less time fiddling with the OS).
Cheers in advance guys.

iSyncr will sync to your SD card and you can play music with Google Play Music on Android 4.4. The only difference in Android 4.4 with regards to iSyncr is that if you sync over WiFi to the SD card, you're ONLY able to sync to the apps package folder or (Android/data/com.jrtstudio.iSyncr/)
If you have problems with iSyncr, we're happy to help you!

Awesome, and so Google Play Music will recognise the music in "Android/data/com.jrtstudio.iSyncr/" ?

Yes! Google Music as well as many/most/all 3rd party applications will identify the iSyncr package folder. We recommend using our music player, Rocket Player with iSyncr, as it was specifically designed to be used with iSyncr - but one of the beauties of iSyncr is that you're not locked into a specific player.

This article sums up the SD permissions changes on KitKat really well: http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes
An app is free to write to any folder it creates on the SD. Its just writing to other folders (that the app didn't create) that is now restricted. So just let iSynchr save to the default folder (as the dev stated) and it will work fine.
SD read permissions are not affected by the KitKat permissions changes. So any music app should pick up the folder, just as you were used to on your other Android device.
I also think its pretty awesome the iSyncr developer is on XDA, and responded themselves. Great app, as I use it, too.
