[Q] Avi files on storage card not visible - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello Guys,
glad to finally open my first thread Now the problem:
Recently i installed the Nexus Android Build on my HD2/Leo and everything worked fine for the last days. Today, I tried to get an .avi movie running. The problem is, not a single player i tested [all the popular ones] is able to find the files on the sd card. Furthermore, all file managers like astro have the same problem. I can not see any of the avi files i copied onto my sd card. It doesnt matter whether i copy them on the root folder or in a subfolder.
Has anyone an idea what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance for any hint!
Regards, rev.

Have you tried restarting your phone after putting the files on? This sort of thing sometimes happened to me, the files would not appear on the sd card until I rebooted the phone. I think its an issue with some builds.

Hello,
thx for this hint. Now i can at least see the files in the explorer. Unfortunately, i still cant play them. Whichever player (arc, mix, yx, meridian) i chose after tapping on the file i get wn error massage stating that the file can not be played. Any further suggestions?
Thx so far!

yes... you have to delete the MSMETADATA, WMDRM Folders and WmpInfo.xml from your SD card.... that will fix your problem

Yes you need to download the new flashbundle. Others have been having this problem, but it got resolved once they updated the flash bundle.
I will enclose the new flash bundle and TCPMP player here if any one needs it.

I gave the cab you posted a try and still no luck...when was this cab released?
Reason im asking is one was released a week ago due to changes in youtube protocol...but this problem is based from something in WinMo 6.1

For the sake of us titan newbies who must sign up every day, it would be cool if the experts could say what a TCPMP player is...the flash bundle is pretty obvious. Thanks!
tcpmp player prety much plays everything. however, correct me if i am wrong, it still will not work over wifi right?
The Flashplayer I enclosed works for me (I am using DCD's 2.2 ROM with WM6.1 on Verizon). (This cab came out on Jan 22, 2008 -- to fix the youtube issues)
Maybe you installed it wrong.
Step One Uninstall your TCPMP and Flashbundle player. Yes you have to install TCPMP and Flashbundle all over. I read you had to do this or else it wont work properly.
Step Two Install TCPMP (a media player that is used to play many files.For example youtube videos ). When you install it chose to install it to your SD card.
Step Three Copy the NEW Flashbundle cab (the one I provided) to the program folder that was created for TCPMP on your SD card
Step Four Once you copied the Flashbundle Cab to the TCPMP folder run the Flashbundle Cab from there and chose to install it to the SD card instead of local memory.
Step FiveSoft Reset
Now you are done. You can now view YouTube and are able to save, preview, and link videos.
Yes it even works over WIFI. I use it with WIFI all the time because it would cost alot with a data plan ( i download alot of videos )
If you ever experiece issues where you flashbundle doesnt work dont worry. Youtube updates their site many times and our Flashbundle is incompatible. Lucky for us we got a source where they update the Flashbundles to work when this happens just visit : http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=148801&highlight=youtube+tcpmp
If you got any more questions feel free to ask. Once again hope this helped you guys out.

Has anyone tried this on a Samsung Epix? I was able to get it working on my Tilt, but I haven't had any luck with the Epix. Any suggestions?

what formats can it play
sorry, does not play any media > no error
HTC Diamond
Same here... Tried installing to the device memory and memory card... Tried flv, mp3 and jpeg files in the device memory and memory card.
My device has a wierd resolution though (400x240... Samsung Omnia). My localization (PT) also uses some uncommon chars (like ã and ó) in the name of some drives (though the device memory dirs don't have these and still didn't work).
Same problem for me nothing opens but then I realised it is for WinCe not WinMo so maybe that is why?
Would be interesting to know what formats (codecs) can be decoded. Is there a possibility to add this to WMP or CorePlayer?

Hy,
the system requirements are Windows 2005 and above.
You have to install the .net compact framework before you can use ffplay.

What file do you want to open. Where is it stored?
Known bug is you have to "kickstart" the internet connection before you can play any file. i will fix it tomorrow if i have time.

It means any network file. Local files does work without internet connection!
Awesome -- I use FFMPEG all the time on the desktop to convert video files. I can't wait to play with it on my device
mccoffein what device are you using the player in? Is it runnining WinMo 6.1? Or are you running it in the emulator?
I already tried installing to the "Program Files" folder in the device memory (reboot after installing). Tried to play an mp3 from the root of the device memory. Even tried using WVGAFIX3 to set my screen res as regular QVGA (320X240) before launching the app but it's all the same. NET 2.0 is in ROM. These should have excluded localization and resolution issues... Can't get it to play anything in my device.

On my Touch HD I can't open any file. When I try to play a file the waitcourser appears for a few second but after that it doesn't play any files and you are just back in the main screen.
I tried many different files(.avi(Xvid), .mkv(h.264), .mp4(h.264), Photo(jpg), music(mp3, wma)) but nothing works.
I have a cooked wm6.1 WWE Rom so there shouldn't be any problems.
Hy,
ok ... i will check if the registry settings out of the cab installer are correct. i think that will be the problem.
Greatz

Samsung Galaxy S: unable to plaback video

Hi everyone,
I took a video on my Samsung Galaxy S and was able to play it back a few times. Thereafter, I moved it to the sd card and couldn't play it anymore. I have moved videos to my sd card many times without any playback issue. The error is that "unsupported file type". I have tried playing it on other applications such as MX Player, VLC Direct Pro Free, and VPlayer to no avail. When I tried to transfer it to my computer, it doesn't work either. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Regards.

Did you rename it ? when you moved..if the format (.avi .mpeg or whatever its original ) was altered , this could happen

Hi, thanks for your prompt reply.
Nope, I didn't. The default format is mp4. Would attempting to convert the file to another format help?
