I try to open a large movie (over 2GB) on my HD2. The problem is that when I open TCPMP and try to select the file the 'navigator' sees a folder not a movie.
e.g. The movie is called Movie.avi but the program shows a folder named Movie.avi. I can click on it and it appears to be an empty folder.
If I use File Explorer I can see it as a normal file but it won't open because it launches WMPlayer instead if TCPMP.
All other movie files tried so far work perfect but they are all under 1GB. Does anybody knows a fix for this bug?
Thanks
I found a workaround: Options -> Settings... -> File Associations. Selected AVI and now I can open it directly from File Explorer.

I installed real mobile player but it would not open the file automatically and it does not have an option to open files...
thank you
All my mp3 files are not being recognized within file explorer?? Properties still shows them as MP3s but I can't play them therefore they are not recognized as ringtones or songs
It started when I tried Nitrogen player but did not like it so I took it off and now all my mp3 files will not play. If I go through media player or S2P I can play them but my phone will not recognize any of these so it will not play them as ringtones anymore... I reinstalled Nitrogen and they can play through file explorer BUT still no ringtones... What the ... did I do?
I did a reg restore and and I removed all of Nitrogen through SK files search but still no go... Ahy ideas
Edit: I changed all my mp3s in the system to wmas and its working. i dont get it.
My guess would be that its screwed up the file associations on the uninstall. To re-associate, go to an MP3 file in file manager and open the context menu (either press & hold on the file on screen or hold your dpad button). You should get a menu with an "Open With Program..." option. Select that, choose "Windows Media" and tick the "Associate selected program with this file type" box.

Some versions of WinMo/File Explorer dont appear to have the "Open With" option. In this case you should be able to use an external file association program such as BadSchwii's

I have tried the built in media player, doubletwist and also 'MixZing' I can't seem to figure out how to navigate to a particular folder to play an .mp3. What am I missing here?
I do not know how to do this from the player but here is what work:
Open File Manager (My Files)
Navigate to the folder
Double click the first mp3 file in the folder
File manager will offer a list of music players to play the file. The player will then proceed to play the files from the folder
In general, it seems like the use of tags in MP3 files is the way to go though.
Great tip! I never thought to use "My Files" since I normally use ES File manager, but that works great! Thank you.
So I am not doing anything wrong, these options are just not part of these players?
Im not sure I understand the question. Whatever files i have on my sd card show up in Video player/ Music Player, or whatever files the player is capable of playing, no matter where they are on the sd card.
The built in player doesn't have a file explorer
The built in player doesn't have a file explorer, but it should have all your compatible files indexed. It has an ok search function that you can use to find what you are looking for after you enter the app. click on the search touch button on the bottom right of your phone.
I just bought a LG G Pad and I added a 64GB SD Card to expand my storage. I put some videos on my 64gb sd card but now MX Player can't find them.....I have to use a file explorer app to find the movies and have to select MX to play them.
How can I make it so the app looks on the added sd card for playback?
Settings -> List -> Video folders
Did you check there first to see if the SD card path is included?

There are some conditions in which your file may not show.
* If your file name starts with . (Dot) it will not be showed by default. Enable show hidden files and folders from Settings 》List
* Your file extension may not be a know video file extension or it may not be listed in the extension list. In that you can add your file extensions in Settings 》 Lists 》File extensions.
* If a file with the name .nomedia presents in a folder or in any of it's parent folders. Disable the option " Recognise nomedia " from Settings 》 Lists
* If you have excluded the path or any of it's parent path in video folders settings. Just go to the Settings 》Lists 》 Video folders. It may happen when you long press on folder & select hide accidentally. If the path of your file or any parent folder is listed in the video folders list in a strike through text, then select it and click show button.
Eg:
consider your file is in "/sdcard/x/y/" folder. If the same folder or any parent folder (like "/sdcard/" or "/sdcard/x/") is set as hidden in video folders or it contains a file with the name ".nomedia", then it will not be showed.

I'm having the same problem, but the solution listed isn't helping. I have a fire kids edition for my son. I downloaded MX player. I downloaded a video to my SD card. I cannot get MX player to find the video. I tried downloading a different video as well. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

hi,
In most of the cases, it should back if you disable "Recognise .nomedia" in Settings » List. If the list return after disabling it, some other app has generated a .nomedia file. If such files exists, no app will scan that directory & sub directory for media file.
If it doesn't works,
Just press on refresh button the top. Once it completes, immediately goto menu » help » bug report. Save the logs & upload here.
if i have more folders usb stick,when i play videos,play only 1 folder individual,not show all videos like 1-500 ,why ?
Hello,
I have a few questions, I hope some one can answer them.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a video folder that is on a network or a web site. I have all my DVDs copied onto my server and would like to access them from my devices.
When I try to add a folder, via settings, it will not show me a network. If I go to Network stream I have to type in the complete url to the file its self for it to play.
Example: 13.125.44.133:4040/movies/61/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob
I would like to be able to see the directory with the list of folders that the movies are in and then select the folder and have the app play the movie.
Example:
Movies/
61
2012
After Earth
....
Maybe the only way to access to this folders its using a file explorer with the capabilities of accessing to network folders.
I was able to locate the file, like you suggested. I am using ES File Explore, it allowed me to save the path and also associate the vob files with MX Player. So now I have one more question. When I ripped my DVD's, they are just like on the DVD. There is 4 or 5 vob files numbered 1, 2, 3... When I select the first vob file and it plays to the end it goes back to the ES File Explore app and does not continue on to the second vob file. Is there a switch so that it will do this or will it just not do this?
MX Player currently has no built-in SMB share support. External apps like ES File Explorer only pass 1 file URI at a time to MX.
This has been previously requested before. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/nYpihpAVJq0/discussion
It's already on the feature requests list. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297
i see that there is a "back to list" i uncheck this and it went to the next file, seam to work.
Interesting, I didn't think that they would have changed so quickly to passing all the URIs in the folder. Well, good to see that you found a solution.
Related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-report-video-button-lan-mounted-t2967882
An amendment to what I said above; MX still doesn't receive all the URIs, but rather does predictive requests based on filename, as a quickfix to this issue.
I use ES file explorer to do this, you can 'save' the location as a shortcut to the desktop of your device (long press on the folder, select save to desktop)
There are currently a few bugs with this in the latest version which i have my own thread about, subtitles dont load and some videos require software playback to prevent audio going out of sync but it works and works well in general.
Anyone using this feature could tell me how it works when there are 2 files - video and subtitles?

If the directory listing is enabled on the host, MX Player can get the list of files. So, it will automatically load the subtitle as we. Else, MX Player will try to get the subtitle by assumption (by just replacing video extension with subtitle extensions). But, it doesn't work everywhere.
So, it's better to enable directory listing if you are using a local server.
