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?

Randomely, my TyTN will no longer add mp3s on my microSD card to the library. it will search for files, find them, and then freeze while adding to library. also i can no longer sync mp3s to the microSD using WMP on my PC. any solutions?
Hi There,
I have the same problem. The only solution seems to be to delete the MSMETADATA folder from the storage card and add the tracks again. I can't find any other way of fixing it.
Hope this helps
that worked, thanks for the quick response! so this may happen again? odd glitch if you ask me...

Yip, This seems to be the standard way of dealing with this at present. For those that need a little more info:
Use native file explorer set it to show all files (hidden files) or use other file explorer to view hidden files,
Browse storage, delete hidden folder MSMETADATA,.
Update Library in WMP

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.....

Did the problem occur immediately after flashing the Schaps Rom?
If it did then you may get more help asking in the Schaps 4.3 thread as it may be a Schaps registry setting or a change being loaded by a program in that ROM.

Ok....just sorted it out.....But to answer your question, it happened before I loaded Schap's 4.3, I was using TNT....Now...here's how it was sorted.
Normally I don't sync with Windows Media Player, I just copy the files over onto the SD card using a USB adapter (which incidentally sometimes screws up my media player and that's when I delete METADATA, but it's far quicker than copying through the phone)...The problem fixed itself when I ticked the button to sync media player...it rewrote another METADATA and I can now see the card once more......
Have a great day

Reinstall the external music player, when it asks what files it is to recognize, don't check any of the files or if they are already checked, uncheck them. Soft reset, then remove that program. See if this helps. If not, you may need to hard reset. (Backup everything as it will be lost with a HR)
thnx...fr the reply ...i cracked this issue with the help of SKTools..
Please delete this thread
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.
Greatz

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.

Does it use any kind of hardware acceleration?
No. At the moment there is no hardware acceleration like open gl or so on ...

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

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!

Download the TCPMP Plug-in. Go to your mobile device's web browser and download the software. The file download prompt will appear, select "Run." Wait for the download to end.
Install the TCPMP Plug-in. After the download, the installation wizard will appear. Follow the instructions provided. It is best that you download this plug-in to your internal memory, choosing the external memory may cause errors.
Play FLV files by going to your Windows Mobile web browser, start TCPMP, by going to the "Main Menu" and "Applications." Visit the mobytube, site and search for a video, click on one of them and press "Play". Now you can start streaming videos online. You can also download the video directly to your Windows Mobile device and play it by clicking on the file.
thank you but like i said i already tried that and it dosent works
