Develop Bugs

any body else have issues playing videos?

So, I took a video this morning and then went to go play it and it kept saying "Sorry, Video cannot be be played"
I attached a screenshot below
I dont know how it broke or what happened, but a hard reset fixed it...pretty annoying!
Anyone have any insight on this?

If it was a steamed video, then it was likely an issue connecting with the Sprint Darwin Proxy Server they use to handle steamed media on their network.

Song Title Editing

Just a quick question that I havent come across in the forums. Im an organization freak and I just wanted to know how I can edit the titles of my songs to change them if they arent properly titled. I tried through a file explorer and even better, through root explorer but it hasnt worked. If someone can help it would be appreciated.

I share the same freakish obsession. My library has over 10,000 titles and all of them are perfectly organized and file named.
The answer is not Android. It is a PC application called MediaMonkey. It will auto-organize all of your music, tag it, rename files and convert them on the fly as it syncs with your mobile devices. There is no better solution at any price, and it is free. Even iTunes users switch after trying it, and they are usually too stubborn to admit that iAnything is not the best.

Haha, yes I can only agree. But thanks this has been something that has been bothering me everytime I open up my music application. Its greatly appreciated. Ill be sure to check it out and report back

http://www.tuneupmedia.com/ tuneup try it out I bought this like 4 years ago

I, too, use media monkey. Rather than fixing each song manually, I auto tag from the web, to ensure I get cover art as well. Just stinks to get started, but now I ensure everything is in order as I ingest the songs into my library.

Yeah, I tried tune up but media monkey is free so I cant argue with that. Im getting used to it as we speak.

For this phase of getting your files in order, look in the directory view and find a folder called Files To Edit (or something like that). It shows various folders of files that are missing important information.

Okay, works great thanks for the help.
Btw, while we're on the topic is there any mp3 downloaders any of you would recommend? I use an app that doesnt really have many of the songs I look for.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Sorry, I'm no help with that. I always buy full CD's and rip them to FLAC. It may be old school, but I have never found an mp3 source that was anything but unsatisfactory. I do convert to mp3, but I use VBR and a high bitrate.

Ahhh, I understand. Well to be honest, l am about to do the same. Itll be much more convienent in many ways.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Depends on the quality you want and how much of an audiophile you are. You could use tubemate to simply convert any video on youtube to a mp3. I have done that with some songs I just can't find elsewhere.
What kind of music are you looking for?

Well I used to do the same with youtube except taking every single song individually grew to be a pain. Im just looking for anything that I feel like listening to at the moment. Im currentley in the process of downloading some of System of a Down's albums. Its usually whatever im in the mood for. But sometimes I use an app on the market and it downloads the song yet the artist and the album are incorrect.

Ah, gotcha, yep, that's the price you have to pay. I tend to make channels in Last.fm, and let it play music similar to bands I like. Found countless new (to me) bands that way.

There's an Android app called MyTunes Lite that lets you edit ID tags on the phone.

Screenshots of your favorite multiwindow setup

Just curious. I see very few reasons to use this feature. I just hold home for to seconds and hop back and forth. Or copy and paste. What do you guys love it for?

Is it too late to modify the topic before it's flooded with tons of useless pics showing 2 apps running? No offense, but it's an idea as pointless as posting home screens or telling which color phone you bought.
Perhaps we would all be helped by elaborating on, "how have you gotten the most use or productivity using mw"

When I'm editing files on my phone per instructions of a developer, it is nice to have both root explorer open as well as a screen shot from gallery illustrating what needs to be done so I don't have to keep closing and opening the file editing app.

I find it makes it easier to copy text from an app (like browser) into an SMS/email etc without switching back and forth. Don't use it a lot but when i do use it, it's very useful and works very well.

For me it solves the problem of YouTube shutting down whenever the app is not in use. I listen to a lot of music there and many videos aren't even videos but just images with the audio playing. Now I fire up youtube in 1 section and open the browser or whatever else in the other and maiximize its size.

I use it while doing Google chat with people while also Web browsing.

YouTube 4G Vs Wifi

Simple question. Have anyone else ever noticed that when using 4G network that the quality of their video is significantly lower than that of the Wifi? Our phones are made for handling full HD so why not give it to us at all times unless we ask to get HQ and Not HD? seems a little silly to me. Not thay much of a bother but I'd just like to see my videos in full HD whenever I'm on the go.

Check your youtube app settings. If you want it to load in high quality when on a mobile data network you have to explicitly tell it to do that.

No no I understand that. But watch a video in HQ on YouTube.. Then connect to wifi and watch it in HD. There's a good deal difference in quality. At least to me anyway

You have to use the modded YouTube version by theo0so. That's the only way.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah there's a modded youtube floating around that allows you to watch in HD over 4g. Personally I don't see much of a difference between HD and HQ.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

When on 4g the highest is going to be HQ. But when you're on wifi or LTE It's HD. Or as mentioned you can use the modded YouTube app to always have it on HD regardless of connection.

Ahh! Thanks for the information all of you! I saw a slight decrease in resolution in the videos between HQ and HD and for some reason it bothered me. I'll be downloading this app immediately! Thanks!

Youtube with HD app, Adobe Flash app??

Ok, so I know im being sorta "newbish" (not posting in the right thread, too impatient to search other posts, etc) but can someone point me in the right direction for the Youtube app that installs over the stock one (plays back in HD even if not on wifi, etc) ??
Also the Adobe Flash player download link would be nice as well...
Sorry in advance, met the girl of my dreams and have been too busy with her, and work... havent rooted/flashed since March 26th and with my newly obtained replacement, I am overloaded with catching up
