how to make movie folders on sd card visible on Home Screen? - HD2 General

I have a few movies [some from old phone in mp4 format, some avis for the kids to enjoy once I install a player] that I installed onto SD card into folders called "videos" and "movies"
I would like these to be easily accesible but they are not found in the photos and video tab.
How do I either make then visible via the homescreen or if not that then easily accessible without having to go via file browser?

I found that if i created a folder called 'my videos' in the 'my documents' folder on the sd card then any videos i placed in there would appear on the photos and videos tab on the home screen - hope this helps.

Okay I will try that. Thanks.

[Q] where to put video files and music files

im trying to put movie files on my 16gb card and were wanting to know were i put the video files so they work and misic files, ive also downloaded the htchd2 converter, but wanted to know, is it easier to place them on the sd card or use the converter. and how to place the music file so you can see the cover with the artist. please can somebody help! thanks:
My music is just in a folder on my storage card named "Music" & the sense player automatically finds it. I have the album cover in each albums folder & it's named "folder.jpg" & that pulls up for the cover art (same for WMP on the PC).
I'm guessing for videos you could probably put it in a folder named "Videos". If you use WMP on your phone you may have to have it update the library to find all the new files.

Programs can't see the SD card?

So some programs such as various video players, music players, and specifically Picasa can't seem to see SD card at all. Any way to remedy this?
Also, Picasa's integration seems to be broken as well. Can't upload straight to Picasa from the camera app...
You may have to format your sd card. Just copy the contents to your desktop and format the card then put the contents back on and give it a go. If it does not work post again.
Just tried it. Didn't work :-/
On the captivate there was a folder called something like SDcard-ext. The Atrix has the same folder, except its one level higher...
I'm using powerAMP and PSmobile as benchmark apps. powerAMP oddly sees my music files on the extSD, but I can't pull up the folder structure inside powerAMP. PSmobile doesn't see anything on the SD card (neither does picasa for that matter)
Picasa doesn't let me go up one more folder level to see the SDcard-ext folder

[Q] Can't see certain folder when plugged into PC?

Since I got my Tablet I have been copying music, pictures and some music videos on the internal SD via external mini SD. I created a few folders on the internal SD, wallpapers, pictures, video folders etc. and put files in said corresponding folders.
Today I finally installed WMP 11 so I can directly connect my tab to my pc for faster file transfering but when I plug in the tab the folders I have created including a few from installed apps do not show up, only the stock folders do...?
I put my movies etc. in the movie folder hoping that they would appear but they do not when plugged into the pc. What's the deal here??
I would install File Explorer HD and then you willbe able tower the files on your device, but in windows you'll only beable to see your memory cards and very little more.

Where do I put music & video files?

Sorry but a really noob question ..........
Where do I put music and video's so that the default app's find them?
I thought the SD card was 'external_SD' so that's where I put the music folders. But then, when I try to navigate to that on the phone, there's nothing in there. And also, when I open the music app' it doesn't show anything that I've added!!
So can you tell me where you put audio and video files please.
Sorry, I really show know this but it's not something I've done on any of my phones before!
Thanks in advance for you help.
SDCard : Internal Storage ,the 16Gb build in
External SD : The micro SD (T-Flash) you insert into phone
And inside Windows Explorer ,it should be two drives ,say ,Drive E and Drive F ,one is internal ,one is external
Hope this help
I think memory your looking at is the built in memory. I put some video files in the folder marked media and it found them ok. If you want to find the external memory you need to go to settings,wireless and network then usb utilities to connect tovpc. Thenn i just put all my music on there. Again it found them ok.

Right, I've done the music files. I've dumped them in the 'Music' folder in the above screenshot and it appears to have found them. The only annoying thing is that it's sorted each song alphabetically and not by track number!
Now I just need to work out where to put videos.
I also still can't see, from my screenshot of the folder structure above, where my SD card is. If it is that 'external_SD' then why aren't files showing when I explore it on the phone?
And does the Note not play .mov files? I've transferred some across but when trying to open them it states, "No applications can perform this action".

Location on SD card for own movies for Oculus?

For the Oculus Gear VR, how can I see my own movies on the SD card? I assume I need to create a folder?
I have the same problem. I downloaded the Samsung VR Gallery app and that allows you to see your videos on the SDCard and play them.
Hi Guys, also had this problem.
What i figured out. Oculus for some reason cant find them on your SD card but can on you phone internal memory.
Just load your movies in the video folder, if you don't have one create it on your phone memory.
Guys,
Works fine for me on SD, so here is the file structure you need.
Create the folders on your SD as below
Oculus\360Videos
Oculus\360Photos
Oculus\Movies\My Videos
Oculus\Movies\My Videos\3D
Oculus\Multiscreen
Oculus\Trailers
Just dump your own videos in folder - Oculus\Movies\My Videos unless they are 3D, then put in folder - Oculus\Movies\My Videos\3D
All my movies are mp4 and work fine, but not sure what other formats are supported.
