Cooliris Gallery3D thumbnail format - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey all, I'm just wondering if anyone knows the file formats for the cooliris gallery thumbnails?
I have a 2 year old who loves watching videos on my phone, but all of the thumbnails for these videos are just black (well most of them). He never knows which video he is playing.
My idea is to manually generate the thumbnails myself and use those but I only see some chunk, index, and cache files in the cooliris data folder.
Does anyone know where I can find the format of these files so I can write a program to generate these files for me?

How to access videos stored on SD through HTC Album ???

There is a registery tweak so that photos taken from camera are stored in storage card\my documents\my pictures (instead of DCIM forlder) and then they are accessible in HTC album when you click Photos in the cube.
However, though video recordings are stored on SD card as well in My Documents\ My Videos but they are not visible through HTC Album. Only My Videos folder on My Device is accessible.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem ????
Thanks.
Anyone ???? any idea ???? no reply !!!!!
Same problem here. Still looking for a fix.
I think that htc album shows only the MP4 file. Try !
My videos are in mp4...
Possible solution
I have had the same problem. And i've tried a few things, but strangely it doesn't work perfectly for the player part. (but it DOES work)
First i opened the registry and browsed to the following key:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3
Since that dir seems to be linked to the videoplayer on the device, you should open the dir and view the value of Path, you'll see its linked to \Windows\HTCAlbum.exe. Now...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_2 is stated to be used for viewing Photos (which exactly and ONLY seems to do that), and contains the same Path value which ALSO points to \Windows\HTCAlbum.exe.
Does that mean HTCAlbum can view both types? (i don't think so) And what happens if I change the value of Path in the HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3 dir to let's say: \Windows\wmplayer.exe?
Let's try
After a softreset the Video button in the cube starts Windows Mediaplayer. It also gives me an error message stating the file cannot be played, it might be corrupt or not supported. (weird because i'm not opening ANY file)
Anyway, after manually browsing to my storagecard, i can select the right folder and play my recorded videos. Now let's see if we can fix the storage path of the camera, shall we?
I open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3\param. The value I enter is \Storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA\ Which i think is also the default path, but i could be wrong. In any case, after i do a small test by recording a video, it's saved in the \Storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA\ directory and it plays in Windows Media Player.
Now I just need to get rid of that annoying Error message when starting up WMplayer. You could also use coreplayer if you have it, i'm not so fortunate Hope it was of any use.
Hello
same problem, I don't see the video :-(
No solution??

I tried this and it didn't work...the key I have at HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3\param is actually -mode:camera -type:video right now, not a path to my videos...
Access video from memory card HTC Album
Found these cabs somewhere. The video fix allows access to memory card videos and the audio fix allows the sound to work. The only way I found to adjust the volume for videos is to adjust it in Windows Media Player and it will adjust the HTC Album Video Player.

[Q] .nomedia and . folder not hiding HTC Desire

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

[Q] Show more video types (.mov) in Gallery?

I get a lot of video clips sent to me through Whatsapp ( a messenger type application). Since a lot of my friends are on iPhones, the video files are in .mov format.
I can easily see and play these files if I go to them directly in the storage folder of the Whatsapp application. HOWEVER the video files do not show up in the video tab of the HTC Gallery app, ie it doesnt recognise .mov as video files.
Any solution, eg to register .mov as a gllery video file, etc or anything else?
Thanks!
rename them to *.mp4 then they play in Gallery
.mo. files

Renaming works to show in your gallery but there is no audio unless I play it thru another app. And when I try to edit it says format not supported
HTC m8
Vivo album not showing mp4. In gallery help me .. Thanks you.

Samsung Gallery problem

Ok
I copied a bunch of drawings, learning sheets to my sd card however, when I goto gallery is there an option where I can just view that folder and not show everything as it does already like mu mp3 album art to videos. Its really annoying gripe but is there an alternative if not?.
Yep, if you don't want the files in a folder to show up in gallery you just create a file and name it .nomedia inside that folder... This means that the gallery will ignore anything in this folder, whether it's images, mp3's or movie files...

Videos from Z5 not showing any thumbnails when I browse the files from PC

I am trying to pick certain videos to take off my phone but I have no idea which ones I should be taking because no thumbnails show up nor can I group the files by date created or anything because all files just get sorted under "unspecified" which is weird because on the phone it has the date of recording and all that. I can see the thumbnails for all the pictures just fine just no .mp4 video files.
Any suggestions?
Man just use AirDroid it is faster than cable transfer and has gui and you can see what you want.
