Problems recognising .mpeg files - General Topics

Hi i have an o2 xda orbit
I installed flash player and was able to download short movie clips and open these just fine.
The next day i tried to do it, when i clicked to download a video it asked me to save...
however this time i was not given any option to open upon save and when i did complete the download and tried to open the short movie file i get an error message telling me that there is no associated programme with this file.
Can someone help me with this? please email [email protected]

Thanks
Keith

[Q][REQ] MP3 association file icon missed!

Hi everybody:
Im the kind of user that search with striving forces all the forum before ask something or make a request. But since Wednesday I've been looking for something to fix my HTC Fuze and really I couldnt found it. (could be & most probably is a Noob Q, but with all ur knowledge I always gonna be a rookie)
Fisrt, excuse my english. Hope you guys understand my words and help me solve this problem.
Ok, here's the gap.
I installed a few softwares from this page (awesomes by the way), and work perfect. But I don't know why I MISSED THE MP3 FILE ASSOCIATION ICON
The song in WMA format keeps its icon but the mp3 songs dont.
So, the mp3 format songs can be played on wmp or in the music tab of my fuze (the phone recognized it), but the icon that is beside the tittle is the famous "Unknown File Type Icon". Also I cant use any mp3 as ringtone.
What can I do?
Do I have to Restore the my phone again?
Exist an app that I could use to fix this?
I have the idea that a software called "Pocket Music 5.2 Free" was the responsable for this, but Im not sure. Also I removed this app from the Fuze & from the registry, but didnt notice any original icon file association yet.
Phone: HTC FUZE
ROM: 5.08.502.1 WWE
Radio: 1.12.25.19
I Just ask for help Please. Hope any of you have the answer to my puzzle.
Thanks to everyone, again excuse my english & finally have a nice day.
hey, I had the same problem.. the thing u do is, download advanced config it lets u choose file associations.. go to .mp3 and type WMPlayer.exe in the program bar.. good luck mate

[Q] Downloading Media DIRECTLY from Phone?

Hello,
I really like this phone but there was something that was bothering me from day one. Is there anyway to download media/audio files DIRECTLY off the phone without the use of a computer? For example when my friend sends me an audio file as an attachment and I try to download it, it just opens and streams and if I leave the small app that it opens in it is gone. However, I want to be able to actually download the file and just listen to it offline in normal zune player. Is there any method/hack/homebrew todo this?
I have an LG Quantum unlocked
Thanks You!
Yes there is, look HERE, works for me. (Win7 64bit + WP7 HTC 7 Pro)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is it supposed to show up as a mass storage now ? i did the trick and it doesnt ... havent restarted comp tho
Thanks CP Geek for your reply. I am aware of that trick and it is great! However, that wasn't exactly what I meant. I meant that I am browsing the internet on my phone and trying to download an audio file to my phone's "Music and Video" hub. In other words I want to be able to download online audio files without the use of a computer at all...
Any takers on this?
at the moment i dont think this is possible ive asked this same question myself with no luck. The file thats streaming is on the device somewhere
this may help u out

now im hoping that with mango or a future update they let u download files through the browser on my windows mobile i download rar, mp3 and zip files all the time and update my library all on my phone on the go without a computer, i hate being tied down to having to use a computer
Yeah that's exactly what I wanted todo Deadwrong.
I checked the thread it looks like they have some progress. Its unfortunate though that they don't have a full solution yet. I was actually thinking of taking a different approach on the matter. If we look at the registry it appears that there are some keys that tell the phone how to deal with PDFs and how to open them. There should be something for telling the OS how to interact with audio files as well. I was wondering maybe it is possible to change that to something that instructs it to download to Music and Videos.
I would think if there's a way to buy music on the phone, then it'd just be a matter of knowing where on the phone to save the files and that would ope up a world of downloading or syncing possibilities outside of using the Zune software.

[Q] Custom Key Sounds

I post this in my SGS4G Forum, but haven't gotten any hits, trying to broaden my chances of getting some help.
Ok, before i posted this i searched high and low and really couldn't find a strait answer. Here is what i am trying to do... I have a bunch of cool sounds... I would like to set these sounds as key tones... you know, like when i dial a number on my key pad.
So i got all the files in order, converted them to .ogg, and placed them in /system/media/audio/ui and renamed them key1.ogg key2.ogg etc.... Well nothing happens, i cant even play the file, it says its "unrecognized" by the stock media player and Rockplayer. anyone have any ideas?
I read somewhere that the "program" that plays these files will only recognize certain codecs or something, That is a little outside my AO (area of operation)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found this
http://www.droidnova.com/creating-sound-effects-in-android-part-1,570.html
However, i am not a Dev so this might as well be Japanese, any hints?
That link is relevant for writting an app that plays sounds.
The app that does this, the dialer already exists though.
This rather sounds like a codec problem.
If you can't open and play those files with the native android player on your phone, the dialer won't be able either.
Recheck the encoding on those sound files and try again.
they will play from the sdcard, but when i move them to the UI folder on the root, they wont... still an encoding issue?
Could be a permission issue.
There is no permission issue on the sdcard, as all files are accessible to everyone, but this doesnt apply to files in the root folder.
So try changing the permissions.
Changed the hell out of the permissions, which made the native player play the file.. YAY!! However......when i changed the file name to Key1.ogg from key1a.ogg, i press the corresponding number on the dialer...i get nada. so sound at all, i will play with permissions a little more, maybe change the format to a lower quality file and see if that helps... Thanks for the insite!
Well the filename has to be the same as the original one, CASE SENSITIVE mostlikely.
To make sure you have absolutely the same kind of file you could extract the original sound file and use a common player (i.e. VLC?) to check the bitrate, encoding, kHz etc.
I DID IT!!! WOO HOO.. what a pain in the ass! LOL I made the files smaller... less than 16hz and 92kbps.. then sent them all to drop box... copied them to the ui folder... THEN...I renamed the originals...then renamed the new ones.. giving them god permission. It worked!! Wish i was more of a Dev.. i'd make an app to simplify it...took about an hour once i got the hang of it....

[Q] "File May Not Play" Message

When I try to transfer a video file to the tablet from Windows 7, I get a message telling me that it might not be able to play the file, do I want to transfer it anyway? I know that the files will work just fine, but is there any way to prevent it from asking every single time I try to copy a file?
Yeah, you would probably have to edit the windows registry from what I know. And if you are not familiar with it, then it's best to live with the annoying message.
From what I've read, it might actually has to do with the Windows Media Player. As a test, try copying over a small WMA file, and see if you get the same message.

Play Music doesn't find "straight" transfered music files [SOLVED]

Hi, (sorry for approx. english speaking i'm realllllly tired at this time)
i was used to load music files into my device using windows explorer and it was good...
then i flushed all files, in order to listen to other songs, so i loaded new music files the same way, but Google Play Music acts as if there was nothing in the gallery...
Finally i've managed to make it work using an android file manager (moborobo).
I'm not ok with that because i would prefer not having to use that program and be able to transfer files directly with windows explorer, it's more simple and doesn't require to install third party app into my device...
If someone can help me with that i'd be grateful.
EDIT/solution:
ok, now i feel a little shameful for this post because the solution was (kind of) described in another forum...
----> a .nomedia file has been created in main storage (really don't know how!?) so...i don't even understand how the android file manager could add music in the gallery. Deleting this .nomedia file solved my issue, everything works as it should now. Really happy to uninstall moborobo!!!
I don't delete the message because it could help someone in the future (hope so).
