Any posibility of seeing a cab posted for direct download via PC?
Cheers,
Here you go.
Much appreciated ... imagine this kind of customer service in stores? We'd never complain.
Heh, no problems, man!
I like the official youtube player better than HTC's, even if the quality is a bit lower. As the video runs, a .flv file is dumped into one of your temporary internet folders. If you stop the video just before the pink bar (not the full red one) gets to the end, you can copy the file out of the temp folder to your sd card, rename it, and watch it whenever you want with tcpmp. It can be tricky stopping the vid at the right moment, though. It's easier if you empty your PIE cache first.
That's indeed interesting, thanks for that tip

I got an even better one for pandora, lol. Pause pandora just as a song is ending, then go into \my documents and copy the .tmp file to your sd card. Rename the file to 'nameofsong'.wma, and you've got yourself a nice copy of the song. Assuming it doesn't make you feel to guilty, lol.

Really????
The best you can do, in that case, is a shortcut to the folder where the vid files are. See this post on how to do that...

Is your media on the microSD? If so, then this is a common with tablets (not phones). The apps are still designed with phones in mind, where the microSD slot is /sdcard. But, on our device, /sdcard is the internal memory and /sdcard2 is the microSD.
The zPad firmware manages to get around this issue by mapping the microSD card as a subfolder under /sdcard, so apps can find content there.

roebeet,
Is that a prossiblity in a futre upgrade to TNT Lite? I bought a 16gb microSD card yesterday and it's pretty useless other than a storage device.

I tried doing this awhile back, but failed. I think that the TnT framework expects the microSD to be on /sdard2. It's a combo of the init.rc and the vold.fstab, so ideally we should be able to change it if TnT hadn't thrown us a curveball.
I personally am OK with it as /sdcard2. I play videos off file explorer and music off the app "Andless" (which can scan /sdcard2). And ACV for comic reader can also scan /sdcard2. So it really depends on the app.
I put the music on /sdcard2 , and /sdcard and when I open up the music player still it says no files found

Most music players (including stock) expect the music files to be on /sdcard. They can't read /sdcard2.
It doesn't matter where i put the media... it wont load it... ive pretty much decided im taking the tablet back .... i cant justify spending that kinda money on something that cant do what my phone can.... such as play music videos pictures ... and flash player... i cant for the life of me understand why any company would release a product like this that isn't even complete on the software side of things.
Never mind i didn't realize i had to reboot the thing after loading media on /sdcard ... opps totally forget that i cant change my card on my droid without pulling the battery... thus automatic reboot... total after thought told ya i was new to this lol
Any other music players

Has anyone had luck with other music players that can be mapped to access /sdcard2?
Andless works (thanks for the recommendation Roebeet) but it really lacks any fun-factor! I'd like to see album art, use id3 tags, and use play my music from /sdcard2. Poweramp can't do this (folder options are hard-coded).
I'll try the new Winamp beta later on tonight and report back. Thanks All!

After trying 4 different music player apps, I stumbled upon Mortplayer beta. It reads .id3 tags, displays album covers, and most importantly for VEGAn users, it can read files from the gtab's microSD slot. Have fun all!
I use winamp and the music app in tnt-lite. Both use microsd card, read tags and use album art. The music app doesn't show album art until you pick a song, tho.

Were you able to get Winamp to read .mp3s from sdcard2? I tried and failed.
Well, in the quest to discover what is draining my battery, it seems that my CM7/Trinity G2X has the Media Server bug.
I charged to 100% then rebooted my phone. I made some calls. Battery Monitor Pro showed my screen-off draw was only 12mA - great!
Then, using QuickPic I viewed some photos and looked at one video. Now my screen off draw has about tripled to 35mA.
For those that don't know, the Media Server bug means that after boot, once you view a photo the Android Media Server runs in the background and will not stop. It even runs when the screen is off and can prevent the phone from sleeping.
I'm wondering if Kang CM7 has this bug? Or is it a kernel issue?
O.K., I downloaded MP3 checker from CNET and ran it on my SD card. It found five corrupt mp3 files. When I deleted them I found that media server isn't using up CPU cycles anymore, the battery is running cooler, and I'm getting MUCH better battery life. YES! :laugh:

This is really interesting. Might we get a link to the MP3 checker you used?

Go to Cnet.com and search for 'mp3 checker'

MP3 Checker
Here it is:
MP3 Checker
It's just a straight pass/fail. Just one bad MP3 can cause the Android media scanner to scan the same mp3 file over and over. It not only drains your battery and slows your phone, it degrades your Flash drive.
First I ran MP3 checker on my laptop, mp3 files. Then I plugged in my phone as mass storage and used MP3 Checker on my laptop to scan my phone's memory. You must brutally delete any MP3 that shows up as bad. Don't be sentimental, if you want to back it up to your PC before deletion and maybe you can fix it (I don't know how to fix mp3 files, sorry).

Thanks for the link, I'll check it at home later. I wanted the application you used to keep it concise and with your past posts these last 6+mo I can trust your research when it comes to my (old) g2x as I have kept it for my son as a mini tablet.
Thanks mucho for this and keep up the good work can't wait to see more!

thank you very much for your kind words. People like to trash the G2X but with the right mods it's a really powerful phone. My only regret is that I can't zoom while taking videos, but I can live with that.
UPDATE BELOW
Thanks for the info. Luckily I don't have bad mp3s on the phone. I'm currently scanning my pc and its finding about 1% bad so far with repeated frames. To be honest, all these mp3s play on the desktop just fine. I will do some research and post back if i find a way to repair them anyway.
UPDATE:
I found a way to "repair" the bad mp3s. I tried a program I already had on my pc called dbpoweramp music converter. If you never tried it then you are missing a whole lot. It's a must have tool for anyone with music files. It does everything you would ever need to mp3s and other formats. I use it to bulk re-encode high bitrate mp3s to a lower one to reduce filesize. Anyway, I used the resample feature. You right click on the mp3 and select 'convert to' then select your target quality (I use Quality (VBR) and set the quality to 180kbps). Output location is your choice. Then in Options I click 'Add' then 'Add DSP Effect' and select 'Resample'. Then Select your resample frequency I chose 44100 as that seems to be the standard for most mp3s.

They can play fine and still be had. MP3 players are forgiving in playing corrupted MP3 files (usualy due to repeated frames), but the Android system is not.
Even if they play fine, remove any corrupt MP3 files from your phone.
Like I said I don't have bad ones on the phone. Check above for one way to repair.
I am trying to download a video that can only be streamed through a specific app.
I believe the video must be downloaded in any form like cache or something, so I am trying to locate it and copy to somewhere else before it gets deleted.
However I cannot find the file I am looking for.
I have searched following folders while playing the video:
/data/data/[app] - could not find anything useful, only few MBs total (the video is 20 minutes long)
/data/media/0/android/data/[app]/cache - only few files, few KBs
/data/app/[app] - nothing but base.apk and lib folder
/sdcard - all folders here are irrelevant to the app
So where else could it be?
Am I wrong from the first place? Can it stream without saving on local device at all?
Thank you in advance.
Yes it will always atreme without saving any data on local device. If video were to be played like that there would never be a saperate option to download them.
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT

You can use uc brouser to grab video while playing it. Just tap on the grab option to do so while playing any video

THanks for your reply. However the video I am trying to download can only be accessed by a certain app and it can only be streamed. Downloading through web browser won't work.
Use youtube downloader on pc. Or any video downloader for android. They can fetch those videos not grabbed by uc and other brousers
So, as we all know, the K1 tablet (both versions, I have the newest revision), comes with nVidia ShadowPlay built into for video recording, and when you activate manual recording, the videos are saved to the photo/gallery photo on the main tablet's storage and not to an external SD card. Well, it came to my attention that when I record a video, as in starting and stopping when I'm done, the OSD states "recording saved", I look in all the folders and there is no video saved to the tablet. Am I doing something wrong? Is there no way for me to find out if it actually captures and records a video file or am I screwed?

That doesn't really help though, as I'm trying to locate the files so I can upload them to YouTube, or extract them and keep them on my PC so I don't run out of space as the files with ShadowPlay can get quite large, depending on the settings I use. The other problem is that the files are nowhere to be found on the SD card or internal storage, like, at all. I looked in all the folders, not a single MP4 file has been found, what am I doing wrong? What can I do to ensure that a file is actually written to the internal storage? Is there an actual way I can see where it stores the file? I'm getting kinda desperate here, because no matter how many times the app says "recording saved" it doesn't actually save a bloody thing. I must be doing something wrong.
I don't care about seeing the recordings on my tablet, I only care about being able to extract them from the tablet and uploading the files to YouTube from my PC after I copy them. Of course though, no one seems to ever reply to the threads I make anyway, so chances are, you'll be the only one to reply to them, which means this issue will get me nowhere after I reply.

So, does that mean that the files are in fact being recorded and saved, but are just "hidden" in some fashion? I'm just confused as to why they wouldn't give an option to show file in folder or the path, anyways, I installed the app and I do hope it works, that and I hope there's no weird writing permissions lol and thank you.

No worries, things like that can get frustrating lol As long as MX Player can find the video (might have to hit the little refresh button) you should be able to locate it

Just tried that program and worked like a charm, it copied the video file to a folder I made in ES Explorer, thank you so much!
Though I do wonder though, where it's storing the videos beforehand, the file explorer shows a folder but cannot be accessed by normal means, I'm thinking it's hidden, and this thing is rooted, so I don't know lol. :laugh:
