Abt transfering movie files

hi,
I just installed Betaplayer and it seems to work out fine. Just have one problem. When I transfer the files (like .mpg or .avi) to my "moviefolder" it only seem to work sometimes. So far I´ve only managed to move small ones. When I try the bigger files it just wont work. Why?
What happens is that the "copy and convert to mobile device format" appears and it starts to copy the file. But after a short while it just stops and starts to copy from the beginning again. And so it goes on...
I have a 1gb SD-card so I´m not out of memory.
Does anyone have a clue?

Have you tried to use a SD Card reader/writer to transfer your files ?

Thanks... it worked!

media player problem with storage card

right ... got the xda mini which i think is a varient of the wizard ... ive read around this part and couldnt find anything related to my problem ..
basically up till last friday i could add media from my storage card to my library on windows media player ... fine
now it only sees what is in the phone memory .. unless i go into play file and open the file manually .. then i can play from the card there is no option to even go to the storage card like there used to be when you click on library only allows me to go to my device ..
when i try to add songs it comes up with 42 files found ... then another screen says 9 files sucessfully added click done ...
doing my tits in cause i use my xda to listen to music while in uni
any ideas ... tried soft reset and battery out .. usually solves most things but not this also tired reformatting the card to no avail

So the card is detecting in file explorer but not in WMP? Need to get that straight first.
I know the card slot can be really fussy in detecting cards sometimes and you need to insert it several times.
You will have two separate libraries, one for the storage card and one for the device memory.
In the library you have to select menu > library > storage card before updating the storage card library...

yes i can see it in file explorer
wmp will play the file if i go menu>library>menu>open file i can then open files on the memory card ...
changing the library from my device to storage card cant be done as the card doesnt appear there any more ... it did till friday ... i changed nothing ... it just stopped appearing
like i say when i update library the library sees all 40 tracks ... but only adds the ones on the phone to the library

Change your miniSD pal.

Hey Pal. I had the same issue, why dont you try with a friend's card. I bought a 1 GB Kingston Card and it works just perfect.

Well, the only thing I can suggest is deleting the library files manually from the card and the phone (.mlb files) and try again. Otherwise back up everything anf reflash with the original ROM.

Have the same issue on my TyTN.
Storage card works flawlessly but media player library only shows "My Device" in its selection drop-down, so the Storage Card cannot be selected.
When the card is inserted media player will look for and add files, but still the card doesn't appear in the drop-down.
After hard-reset it worked correctly for a very short while, but now the only way to get to the files is to open them manually with Menu -> Open File...
=== later edit ====
1) I deleted all *.mlb files (just one, in fact, in phone memory)
2) I deleted MSMETADATA dir from card
3) started media player and updated library, the storage card it's showing now . Don't know for how long, though. (until first sync?)

Windows Media Player and Storage Carge Problem??

Can anyone out there help please.
I have been happily using a 4gb card in my Trinity for the last month, storing most of my program files and all my music on the card.
I just had to resetup my Trinity. I deleted all the program files but left the music on the card alone.
Windows Media Plaey now no longer sees the card and wont update the library from it. it seems to count the music files when searching, just doesnt add them.
There are no software conflicts, i am using the same software as before this fault happened, you can still play individual media files from the card by opening the file from file explorer or media player.
Anyone any ideas please??

Delete the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders and update the library.

I'm afraid thats not the answer, there's no file there to delete. I've used that one in the past for other probs on other devices.
Media player just doesnt see the storage card anymore, even though it did in the past.
Thanks anyway.

Problem sorted!!
1) Put card in reader in PC to delete the msme file
2)backed up all info on card to pc
3)reformetted card in PDA using poccket mechanic
4)reinserted card into pc and copied all files over again
5)soft reset PDA

Well you could have deleted the directories from Trinity as well, just check Show all Files (those directories are hidden) and then delete them.

Well I'm having the same problem. It CAN read files from the storage card. If there are nog WMDRM & MSMETADATA folders it CAN update the library. But if I listen for a few hours, put off the phone and put it back on it will not read the 'Storage Card' library.. If I select update library it just stops responding..
The only thing I can do is Soft reset, it will recognize the library again.. But I don't like having to soft reset :S

Quick reply to darkilici -
I had tried that one as well. The problem lay on the card.
Since my fix - I've had no probs so far.
Seems to be a lot of people having weird roubles with 4bg cards out there.

Dave,
this is not just limited to 4gb cards.
I have a 2gb installed with same issues described above.
Resolved (as Apoc described) by deleting the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders.

I think I have the solution...Win Media Player sucks, use Mortplayer and TCPMP player then forget all the missing file problems.

media player problem reading memory card

my windows media player won't add files from my memory card. when I try searching for files it finds a very large number of files but when it starts adding them it hangs then gives up. I prefer using the windows media player since I can use it with the htc home plug in as well as the ability to still listen while in standby mode.
any suggestions?

This is a common problem, find the folder MSMETADATA on your SDCARD and delete it then media player should rebuild the library correctly.

^cool, thanks that worked!

I've now flashed a new Rom Schaps 4.3 and formatted my SD Card. Still no luck!!!! Argggghhhh....
The card shows up in the camera app as well as file explorer, however both media players don't recognise it.....
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.....
Thanks

[Q] Flac copy

Hey guys I want to copy flac files to my galaxy s4 and I just cant the copy, process stops at the first flac file I can copy everything else it asks do you want to copy and convert? i say do not convert just copy and it copies it to the phone then stops at the end, if i go on cancel the file is on the phone but when I want to copy the folder (400 mp3s and some flac) it thinks it's not there. Anyone got same problem? Kies also cant copy flac file any ideas? thanks

I don't have any problem copying .flac files to S4. Anyway, the fastest and easy way is to copy to your microsd card using an adaptor directly from your computer. This metod is 100% working without any trouble.

Are you useing MTP connetcion? im doing it with the usb cable from my laptop, also I cant copy to internal SD android/obb folder I think it has some kind of protection because I can copy obb to micro sd and copying rar files and extracting them on the phone works too, are you useing windows 8? thanks
I would like to sort this out because I will take it back to warranty, if it's the phones problem

I do remeber now..I do had problems copying directly from my computer to the microsd card directly. The PC Is win 7 ultimate 64. I got a lot of disconecting and reconecting in 1 or two seconds. I could copy files with retry button from windows but after a lot of I simply get my card out from S4 and I copied directly to. There is a problem, I guess with the drivers from samsung. (I never ever used kies, so I don't know if that way korks or not, but if it is a problem with drivers thr problem should persist)

Hi Guys
The solutioni s simple. There is a problem with audio video codec in the PC - doesn't have anything to do withthe phone.
Uninstalling (k-lite on my pc) solved the problem
