Whenever I sync mp3 files using wmp, or even transfer using explorer, and open them in WMP/Nitrogen, the meta data does not show up.
So I was running Hammerhead and all was fine, could transfer any type of file from PC to Internal Storage or SDCARD through Explorer. Now I upgraded to Moray 2.2.1 and I cannot transfer .mkv files.
I transfer an avi it's ok.
Rename the avi to mkv and it fails.
Rename back to avi and it works
Rename a mkv to avi and it fails.
The error I keep getting is 'Windows explorer has stopped working' then 'Explorer is restarting'. Typical non descriptive crap.
I am running Windows 7 will all of microsoft updates. It was running fine before like this.
Any help would be great guys. I really don't want to reload my Xoom, but I am headed to Niagara Falls on Sunday and need to take it with me.
UPDATE:
Just loaded my backup of Hammerhead and the same thing happens. Damn, now I have to consider my computer is crapped out.
Thanks.

I always had that problem from day one with the Xoom out of the box. The only way I was able to transfer .mkv files was to put them in a .zip file first then transfer and unzip with Astro or HD File Explorer. That should work for you until someone smarter than me can give you a permanent remedy that doesn't include the whole .zip file deal.
I should add that I use Win 7 and the issue exist with all .mkv files regardless of size.
Did that work for you?
It does work for me. But I swear I was able to transfer files before just with drag and drop onto the SDCARD.
Oh well. I just I will skin the cat the other way.
Thanks for the help.
If anyone else has this issue you can also just try to change the file extension to something like .jpg transfer the file then change it back to .mkv.
I recently renamed all the files .mkv1 and left them that way. Now they all transfer no problem.
Using MX video player I am able to tell it the new extension is a video file. Never have to change it again.
I seem to have more luck transferring files using WiFi File Explorer. You could try that and see if it helps.
Was just wondering if anybody else has had any problems with transferring music files from their pc to their note 10.1 via local network. I have transferred a few albums and they seem to be changing to Samsung's .3ga file format even though they were originally .mp3 or .aac in windows media.
Thanks
Hello.
I tried to look this up but I cannot find an answer. This is my problem:
I do not have a dock. I connect USB to my PC. I try to copy an avi file to the tabled SD. I get a warning that the avi file will not play once copied.... and yes, it does not play.
I share a folder on my PC and I connect using the same program (Archos) on the tablet to the share. The same avi file plays no problem over wifi. I try to copy over wifi from PC to tablet, same problem.
I tried both the SD and the internal memory.
I took the SD out and used it with a data writer on the PC.
One time, a few months ago, but I do not remember what I did, I was successful. Those 3 movies are on the SD card and they play, so it should not be the SD card.
If anybody has any idea, I would much appreciate. Thank you.
I've played avi videos with BSplayer free without any issues. I also use AirDroid to transfer files from my computer to my tablet.
I'm it familiar with the software you are using but perhaps it's time to try something different

I am sure that the tf700 can handle avi files easily. Have you tried the following players (available for free on Google Play Store): Dice Player, MX Player, BS Player? All of these video players can handle almost anything.

Thanks for responding. Considering that I can play anything with the same player, on the tablet, from a share on the PC, I think the player has nothing to do with it. Also, the message that it will not play is given by Windows explorer, which should not know what player I am going to use.
What are you guys using to copy the files from PC to tablet? Windows Explorer or something else?
Thank you.

I seriously believe that there is something wrong with your Windows driver for the tablet. I just simply follow a very standard procedure:
1. Connect the tablet to a PC with Windows Vista or later (which fully support MTP) using the USB cable.
2. Navigate to the tablet's internal storage using Windows Explorer and paste the videos you want to play. The warning saying that your device may not be able to play the files is really irrelevant, you can ignore it and proceed to copy. The reason for that warning is because MTP assumes that your tablet cannot play avi files, and all Android devices using MTP will have this annoying alert.
3. Use the player suggested in previous posts to play. I must disagree with you regarding the role of players, especially when certain players have better support for Tegra 3 SoCs than others, hence the need for different video players. More importantly, avi is just a container, the important thing is the codec being used (h.264, MPEG-4, etc...). For example, a h.264 high profile video at 40 Mbps in an mp4 container is unplayable on my HTC Sensation even though mp4 is officially supported by my phone.
In all seriousness, it should be as simple as that. If it still doesn't work, you should try using a different Windows machine.
I get that message for literaly everything I copy to my TF700 and my SGS3 through Windows Explorer: .avi, .jpg, .bmp, .png, .mp4, .mp3, .srt, .doc, .txt, .wmv....
I use MXplayer (primary), BSplayer(secondary) and Diceplayer(tertiary) : They all play it fine. You get that error message in Windows because Android's stock player doesn't recognise the file when it's placed in the file manager. (duh, it's incomplete during transfer). Just hit 'yes to all'.
Try playing it with another app. Frankly other videoplayers are also far more advanced than the rather crappy stock app. Those three ^ play everything.

I stored some music files (flac and mp3) in folder /sdcard/Music on my nexus 5, but I cannot see these files while connected to PC with MTP. I can see Ringtones, Download (with apk) etc on my PC but empty in the Music folder with music flac and mp3 files.
I tried to connect nexus 5 to fedora 17/20 and Windows 8, and failed in all connections.
In fedora 17 I installed gMTP and simple-mtpfs to access those files on my nexus 5 and I saw no files in Music folder except two ogg files in the Ringtones folder, apk files in Download, and pictures in DCIM.
I check the manual of gMTP and it said it supported flac format.
When in Windows 8 and fedora 20, the situations were the same as that in fedora 17.
So how can I access my file with MTP using USB cable?
because WiFi is forbidden here for some reason, I can not use WiFi to transfer files from nexus 5 to PC.
and because of the data plan, I cannot use dropbox to sync so many files with mobile data connection.
Thanks!
anybody knows?
This may sound very stupid but have you rebooted your phone. I have this same issue with the nexus 4.
A phone reboot forces a rescan and usually my computer picks the files up afterwards
