[REQUEST] [APP] Media app to play audio AND video

With the iphone, I could add videos to my music playlist. I cannot find a similar app for my nexus one. I don't really want to keep a mp3 for my playlist AND the mp4 video of the same song. Does anyone know a fix?

Try meridian player on the market, for free, I handles videos and music playlists..unless you're looking to play videos files and music files at the same time..not sure possible!

Yeah, I mean at the same time. On the iphone, I could add a video to my music playlist. It would still play the video selected, like a song, with the screen turned off. I can't seem to find one that can do that on the nexus one.

I know MixZing and Meridian all play both music and video so you could try each to see if they work. There's a third that was on my mind but I can't remember that also plays both, maybe it was Zimly? I forgot now.

Hello
Sorry for a possibly "silly" question : I've installed Zimly and
can't find out where are stored the files, the library etc
could you please help me ?

This only allows you to control VLC on your PC, won't allow you to play anything on the phone.
Zune will convert 99% of the media it can't natively play and it will do it pretty quickly and with very good quality. At some point in the future we will most likely be able to copy/past files onto the device and use 3rd party video software.

every video I have on my computer has played on my hd7. These are mainly .avi files (downloaded tv shows and movies from graboid).

\what about youtube files . flv files ?

youTube files .flv files, I suppose can't, as I usually download the YouTube videos with iFunia YouTube Converter and then it convert the flv files automaticly for me.
There are 2 players that normally can play many file type.
VLC player and Gomplayer, VLC is free~
here you can get: download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html

No dice as of now. Not possible without usb mass storage support, how else would you copy&paste the files over? The Zune software will only sync files it supports.
I'd say convert your .flv files to a common video format that every device can use, like .avi or .mp4 to name a few. I do it for my music videos downloaded from youtube. Those file formats should copy over easily. If not, zune will convert them effortlessly.
sent from my MB200 using xda app

thank you all for the reply. but the hell if i am going to back to converting movies before playing them. gone those days when i wanted to put movies on my nokia phone because it couldnt play **** but mp4 or 3gp.
i think i will hold on for a while. plus the fact i cant purchase paid apps because i dont live in the US is a deal breaker too.
i guess i should wait for while. bummer, i really liked the browser and the interface a little of the device.

so .. any updates since then or still nothing yet ?

Nope I wish there was though. I travel a lot and take that time to watch movies and tv shows on my phone. I still have to carry around my TP2 while I travel now to enjoy my media. I completely agree that the days of conversion should be over now. I used to laugh at other devices that couldn't play xvid natively and now I'm in that boat .
I really hope this feature emerges either natively or through a 3rd party eventually.

this is why 3 people I know of traded back to android again. they thought they could just ftp over a movie fike (like on ios) and play it on the phone.
one of them actually said "so my phone.... can't. share a file..... with other PHONES?"
then the other guys shook their heads and continued moving music around between themslves. no computers, no chords, and no transcoding.
the one guy bought a galaxy tab along with a thunderbolt, and tried to craigslist his samsung.
all because there is no fole support. wow.

Semi-convenient workaround

After reading your post I decided to tinker a bit and found a semi-convenient workaround.
I tested downloading video releases for the iTouch and found that if I transfer them using the USB Device Enabler into the Storage\Video folder on my device choosing 'Don't convert just copy' when you transfer the video, then it shows up and plays back fine on the phone.
Obviously it would be ideal if i could playback any codec but for now this will do.

* the song with the clip i will downlode from YouTube.

I'm sorry but your translating service is making a mess of your question...
What is "clip"? Album art? Lyrics? What you "download from youtube" is normally video, which Electrostatic Text already mentioned.

I want a player that plays songs and the song's video player. Without separation of video and songs. If the song has a video he saw him, unless he noy has a movie he saw a picture or a picture of the player. The songs I download YouTubeבטל עריכות

I don't know of any such apps, but I know what you mean now, so I'll elaborate for anyone else who might know:
He/she wants the same kind of music player system that you get with iTunes and iOS devices, where music videos and audio files mix in a way that makes it appear as though music videos are simply audio files with video album art. They mix with the audio file in every other way, from artist/album/etc tags to being included in playlists and shuffle modes.

right, : I want like the iphone player.
we can do it int android ? threre player like that ?

I tried searching on Google Play but couldn't find anything... maybe someone knows of a player that can do it.
I liked that feature in iOS too, but there's one problem with it: video files don't have any system for storing album/artist/title data. Apple adds that to its videos using the .m4v container format, which is how they can merge the two so seamlessly. Without that system in place, it's tricky finding a way to mix audio with album/artist/title data with video files that don't have them. Not impossible, but it could explain why there doesn't seem to be any such apps.

Best folder based music player?

Hi guys,
I'm currently using Folder Player but I find it a bit slow and it won't play many formats (flac, etc). I was wondering what people are using these days. One must have item for me is that it MUST be folder based (like Folder Player) and FREE. Any suggestions are welcome.

Currently the most popular is "PowerAmp Music Player" . It plays most format of music files.

"PlayerPro Music Player" can be found in Play store and also you can choose songs from folders.

You play flac on your phone? Even if you have the best audio compression, the speaker is crap anyway, so no point in playing those, unless you use very good Headphones...

[Completed] Android App Recorded Damaged Videos

Hello,
Yesterday I tried the Background Video Recorder 2 app (ex Secret Video Recorder 2 but Google removed it from the store, they are same) which resulted in a huuuugeee frustration. My phone is Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. I stored the videos on an external SD. When I got home to copy videos to my PC I saw that the app saved videos as date-clock.mp4.renamed so they are not video files. I removed the ".renamed" part and over the 50 videos only 2 of them worked (sort of- too much buggy) and the other files cannot be opened by any player (for example, Gom Player showed "Find Codec" error screen).
Can I fix those videos?
Thank you.
