I keep loading videos on sdcard2,and they keep getting deleted by the device. I have had it happen on stock and now on vegen. I can watch the videos, they arr found easily in various programs, and other tyoes of files are never deleted,just videos. Divx, avi, mp4 and mpeg. Has anyone esle seen this or now how to fix it?
Opening up es file explorer, browse to your sdcard2. Press menu, choose "new" and then "file" and name it
.nomedia
This will prevent your sdcard from being scanned and your videos will not get deleted (bug with the current software).

Hi,
I'm still having a problem to hide my videos (mp4).
I have tried to use both .nomedia blank file and .folder naming format on my HTC Desire but it is still not hiding my videos on most of the videos apps - Video and Gallery.
The naming format i was using is:
/mnt/sdcard/.vid/
I also added the .nomedia file into the .vid folder.
I have also tried to restart the mobile several times and it is still not working. All the videos in the .vid folder are in .mp4 format.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
ssboyz
Hey,
So I was recording on the stock Camera camcorder a birthday, paused, then exited, seeing no save button. When looking to review later, I didn't find the file. Not realizing that the "Stop" button functions as a save button, I suppose I inadvertently didn't save the file.
Later, I used Wondershare Photo Recovery on the SD card to find the lost files. It recovered a few files, all 123 mb each, numbered 000018-000023, in varying formats- mp4, 3gp, 3g2, m4v, and mov. They don't play.
2 other files were recovered, one that does, but are files that I actually deleted, and have a different file size (aroudn 2 MB)
How would I go about "fixing" the files? Seeing that this is probably the 3rd-4th time using the camcorder, and since the files are all the same size, does this indicate that they are all fragments of one file?
Any help'd be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello. I apologize if this is a duplicate, but I tried searching and did not find anything.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (32GB model with a 32GB micro SD card) and have been using HTC phones for years now.
My dilemma is that I tried to organize and create sub-folders for my media, and now I cannot play or access my music. Note: I realize this is of most likely my fault.
1. I originally loaded all my music (mp3) and movies (avi files) onto the device. (sdcard) in the DCIM folder. In the "music folder" I created sub-folders for types of music. ie. Alternative, Electronic, Inde, etc.
2. Now, the only way I could access everything through the "Gallery" and the problem was all the media was jumbled together. The music cover art, and movies were mixed together with the camera photos.
The music was all mixed together in the "Music player" There was no organization, it took a very long time to find whatever I was looking for, whether it was Music, Photos, or Videos.
So I did the following...
1. In the EXTSDCARD, I made sub-folders to organize everything ie. (Music, then Alternative, Electronic, etc) (a Movies folder) (a Camera folder) and a (Saved Photos) folder. Note: I put all of my saved photos taken from the camera in this folder.
2. Now, --- ALL pictures taken with the camera end up in the "camera folder" (accessible through the Gallery & NO MORE ALBUM ART) [good]
--- ALL the movies (avi files) ARE available through the "video player" [good]
--- NONE of the music is available through the "music player"
I am completely lost. I don't understand what is going on with the Music Folder. Does this make any sense? Has anyone ever had this issue before? I'm sure I did something wrong, I just don't know what it is. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated, and thanks for taking the time to read through this mess.
I almost wish I just left it how was before. It took about half a day to transfer all the media from sdcard into the extsdcard and in sub-folders. Very slow transfers. Thanks again.
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.

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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hi, I have been using MX Player for years but encountered this problem last year only. Whenever I delete a video from a folder containing more than 2000 videos or other folder containing 1000 videos, it takes 4-5 seconds to delete it. However, when I delete a video from a folder containing only a 100 videos, it deletes them within a second. Is there any fix for this? Because of this I have to delete videos from file explorer apps like Solid Explorer and the videos are continuously decreasing the space in my memory card since I'm too lazy to delete them from file explorer every time. This is the reason why I'm looking for an alternative of MX Player.
I would really appreciate if there's a fix for this.
Hi, I have same problem as user before me - when I trying delete some for example 20 files from folder with for example 500 videos (short movie clips for info) it takes long time - around more then 2 minutes, between deleting Android OS warning me about MX Player stop responding - time is little shorter if i deleting videos without extra thumbnails (for example video file VIDEO.MP4 and thumbnail VIDEO.JPG) - exist solution except I will not use thumbnails? Anyway, if I use for example Total Commander for Android delete is in some seconds. I see solution does not exist for years... Thank you anyway.
PS: Deleting is slower if videos (and optionally extra thumbnails) is on SD card, but this situation is for external SSD disk. I am using payed version MX Player PRO - is really problem in my HW/SW or in application and way how MX Player deleting files?
