Is there any certain place I need to save videos on my sd card? Wherever I have them saved now it just shows a picture of the movie and no name below it so unless you know what scene that movie is from you are guessing, is there anyway to make it easier?
Make folders for each movie and name the folder them movie name. Put the movie in the folder then add the folder to the same location it was in. it worked for me, I had this problem a while ago and this method fixed it. Hope this helps.

I've been using doubletwist now for a while for a music player, however, I haven't been able to find a way for it to point to a specific folder to play. It seems that it will play any type of audio file on my SD card and it's kinda funny yet annoying to hear Let's Golf soundtracks and files playing. Anyone know how to adjust this if possible or an app that will? Same thing happened with cubed.
Make a file called .nomedia (period included) and place it in the folders that you don't want to show up.
thanks i'll try that out and report back
Does the nomedia file work for doubletwist only or for any other player in android?
Any player. And it works for keeping pictures from showing up in the gallery as well.
Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

Great tip. It's annoying for both pictures and audio.
There is a known bug with the .nomedia trick . If a .nomedia file is placed in a folder with existing content files in that folder will be deleted by the system the next time a media scan occurs. Try it on a test folder before you use it on a folder that has files you need (like the sound files for the GPS).

That's weird. I've NEVER had that problem.
So I just got the Google Music beta invite and have been syncing my stuff to the cloud. But, I see no options to exclude folders, so it brings in all my podcasts from doggcatcher and my recorded calls. Has anyone found a way to exclude folders?
Yes, you can. I'm not at home right now so I can't look, but IIRC it's the second tab in the music manager. I removed the default on mine (since I didn't really want everything synced) and just added the folders for the artists I wanted access to.

Are you talking about from the app on the phone, or the web interface? Either way, I can't find what you're talking about
Music Manager is the run on PC that is putting content up into the cloud. You should had to have run it to select what to upload ... choices are iTunes, WMP, My Music folder or Other. Use Other to pick exactly what you want.. In the Web player you can remove uploaded content by selecting it and there will be a arrow in lower right corner to delete.

Ah! Ok, I understand what dbagjones is saying now. Maybe I wasn't too clear in my post. I meant exclude folders that are on the SD card in my phone. Hence why my Doggcatcher and recorded call files are being displayed in the music app. They aren't music so I don't want them in there.
The only way that I could find to selectively upload is to use the "Other folders" option on the "Select music" tab and just pick what I wanted uploaded.

That still isn't what I'm trying to do. I have .mp3 and .wma files on my phone that are NOT songs. The Google Music Beta app for Android must automatically scan your entire SD card. I'm not even trying to sync those to the cloud, whatsoever. I just want them to not show up in the app
Can't you put a .nomedia file in there?

yup, adding a .nomedia file to the directory you dont want included will have the media scanner skip that folder and it wont show up in any music app
I know that .nomedia works in the phone. But does it stop the Music Manager from uploading them from my compooter in the first place?
If not - is there another clever way to do this?
My xoom is not working nomedia.
I installed the osu, the music game,
that game has many images and music.
so i copy and paste the nomedia that folder, but it can't work it.
so those files are still scanning the music app, and gallery app.
How can i solved it???
Thx to read my post.

I would like to help you but I can't understand what you are saying.
What is "nomedia?"
What is osu-the music game? Can you be a little more clear?

.nomedia is a file that works disable the media scanning in android.
If the '.nomedia' is in folder, that folder disable the media scanning.
You see the page - http://osu.ppy.sh/p/about
osu need to many pictures and mp3 because of running games
So, If the '.nomedia' is not in Osu folder, their all files(musics, pictures) are scanning,
and therefore i can see their music in music app, and can see their picture in gallery.
If i put the .nomedia to Osu in android 2.2, 2.3, that files didn't scanning.
but, xoom it's not.
I used tiamat 2.1 hammerhead.
I'm having the same problem, rooted on stock Rom. Pictures still show up in Gallery although the .nomedia file has been used.
Is there a fix for this?
You should just be able to open your gallery, highlight the folder that they are in and click Delete. It will not delete the files. Just their entry into the gallery. Shouldnt show up again unless you do another media scan. Not sure what happens then. I usually just delete the folder after removing it from the gallery first. Never tried scanning again to see if they come back
HI!
I usually download all my torrents on mobile including my TV shows.Recently,I downloaded arrested development season 1,mkv file and was watching it using mx Pla:yer prowhen all of a sudden my mx player stopped detecting those videos.So now I have to use my file explorer then navigate to downloads and then finally select a file and click it.This ****'s irritating ,so could you guys give me your advice,since you people know more?
@rashadthegre check
Settings > List > Folders
And see if your download folder is in the list of folders to be searched by MX.

Hi,
MX Player can detect most files with default setting.
But there are still some devices not detecting all files unless adding folders manually.
It would be help for improving default setting if you send system log after refreshing video list.
Please make sure that log should be gather immediately after refreshing video list because it will be erased periodically.
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I have added the folders that my videos are in, on mutiple levels, adding every folder from the desired video folder up to root and still it has none of my desired videos and I must resort to using VLC. Here is my bug report, maybe I could get some help?

Some of your video folders contains a file named ".nomedia". It actually represents that there is no media content inside the folder. So, if you keep any videos inside that directory or any subdirectory, it will be ignored.
For example your download folder in internal memory & media folder on external memory has ".nomedia" files. That's why it's not getting listed.
Either you have to delete those files or alternatively you can force MX Player to scan the directories even if ".nomedia" file found (Goto Settings >> List & Disable "Recognise .nomedia". Then, Refresh the video list.

Hello
I tried MX Player 1.7.40 but can't figure out how to include a folder as there is no Save button, and hitting the left arrow makes MX Player forget the folder I added. I attached a screenshot.
What's the solution to get MX Player to remember folders?
Thank you.

Don't confuse with the tick mark on the right side. The right selection button is intended for batch hiding & removal of entries from list.
In simple theory, if something is listed on folders list without any strike marks, it's added to scan list.

Thanks but I found no way to add folders to the default "Notifications" and "Ring tones".
Does someone know how to play a video that lives in a different folder than those two?

No, I meant that I wanted to add a folder at the right so it'd be easier to navigate.
Turns out Android/EMUI/Huawei allow the user to do just that. I should have tried before asking :-/
After creating the folders, populating them with files, telling MX Player about them, it automagically updates the list of files and let me play them.
Thanks for the help.
Copy your videos to device/misc/Android and past them in this folder (you can also paste them in your own created folder) and MX player will read them. I don't know why but android apps cant access files outside this folder.
I had found the solution about it?
Yes i found the solution about it. Most of the people search the solution about it.
Let's Start
Go to Mx Player->Setting->List->Folders->Add video Folder you want to add then.
After that Just go to your file manager and go to the folder you have added in the mxplayer list then go to file Manager setting set to the "Show hidden files" then you can see the under the folder 1 file was hidden that's name is ".nomedia" delete this file.
"Now you can see the folder in the mxplayer."
Like, comment & share this knowledge to everyone...Thank You !!!
