Root Explorer treats my .avi files like an executable instead of opening the video player. The video plays fine from My Files, but I was hoping to totally replace that with Root Explorer. Can I change the file association?

ok i have several flv music videos from youtube on a flash drive, i use vital player as my main video player and it plays flv verry well but it cannot access the root folder where the usbdisk is. I've tried setting the root folder to /mnt in the app setting but no dice, so my question is is there a way to set files types to a certain app like under windows
I've share my networks shares on my LG Optimus2X using cifs manager. If I look into my movies folder with root explorer I can NOT open any AVI's as there is NO program associated with them. BUT if I try and open the SAME file in file expert It ask what program to open , just like it should.
So my question is really, does anybody know how to associate filetypes in root explorer.
WOW. Nobody knows
You answered your own question. If there is no program residing on your phone that can play .avi, what would Root Explorer ask you to choose from?
WRONG READ THE POST AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY STATED THAT FILE EXPERT WORKS.
I have rockplayer and arcmedia player BOTH can and WILL play the file types I mentioned.
File expert asks if I want to open an AVI in either rockplayer or arcmedia (as I have NOT set either as default yet)
Anybody got a resolution to this?
I have no idea how to associate AVI to a mediaplayer in root explorer....

at the moment you can NOT. they have said they are working on it. you can however do this in file expert for a kind of temporary solution, not ideal I know but at least it works.
My explorer crashes when I try to drag and drog or past an MKV file.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I am using ed file Explorer coupled with mx player and my. My files seem to stream very slowly from my computer. Anyone have any ideas how to increase the buffer? They are cached on an ssd and it does not make sense that I am having such a slow down.
There is a similar report over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52331493
As per the report there is a pocket drop between ES to MX. Try some other file msnagers.
It may fix the issue.

I use File Manager HD for the same purpose and it works perfectly. I have a link to the network folder with my videos on the homescreen and it opens as instantly as any other map.
Seeking through videos is almost as smooth as local files, but that might be because it is actually on an external HDD, it may even be a lot faster on an internal SSD.
yeah it ges a lot of hiccups is there a better video player than MX Player with a longer buffer?
I use Root Explorer to get videos off an SMB network drive and it's also reasonably smooth.
When you use root you can't stream though correct? I have root Explorer as well.
... What do you mean by that? You can add an SMB address to Root Explorer by adding a new tab.
subtitles!

Just switched to Root Explorer!
Streaming is a lot smoother via Root Explorer for me...
However, MX player doesn't automatically pick up the subtitles like it used to do on ES..
Anyway around that? Because i can't browse to the SMB drive via the Subtitle panel of Mx Player..
Checked the same file via ES, worked perfectly...
Extra info: The file name is the same(exactly the same)..for both the video and the .srt file...
Am i doing something wrong?? Please Advice! I really need subtitles..:crying::crying::crying:
I'm not sure if it can pickup on external subs via network stream as I've never tried before; all my videos have embedded subs.
If you're big on network playback, I suggest trying BubbleUPNP DLNA app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118891
Well, kind of 3 months ago I discovered that my lyrics app (Lyrics Grabber) didn't find my music anymore, and magically it did find other audio files (Recordings, Ringtones, Attachments from Any.do, Whatsapp Audios). So I noticed that the "Music" folder is being ignored by the app; all other folders are found. And it's exactly the same with musixmatch, shuttle, nexmusic and google play music. So I assume that it happens to all the music players but... poweramp. It's pretty weird but it's so. The only music player that finds my music is poweramp. It may be because poweramp has an option to manually choose which folder are gonna be scanned but I don't know what's going on with it. Any ideas?
Note: I'm 16, and I'm learning to speak English by myself, so if I made a mistake or you didn't get what I'm trying to say, plz tell me and I'll try to explain it better

do you have file named
.nomedia
in the music folder?
You can check with ES File Explorer (or some other file explorer) BUT you need to enable viewing hidden files.
If there is the file .nomedia in the music folder - delete it.
The purpose of .nomedia is to exclude for example system folders from Gallery and music players checks.
it didn't work…

There was a .nomedia file, I deleted it but it didn't work. In fact, I'd already tried deleting .nomedia files in the music folders but it hadn't worked.
plz help me
