Motivation: I am creating a more organized folder structure on my phone (LG Quantum) and am using the hack that allows the phone to be seen as a USB storage device.
1. I copy all the JPG and MP4 files from the phone to my computer.
2. I use exiftool to organize the files into folders by date and rename the files with more informative date-related names.
3. I then recopy the directory structure on the computer onto the phone.
It works very nicely for the JPG files. However, the MP4 files, that were originally created on the phone, only show up as video files with black thumbnails, and these files do not play.
If I use Zune to sync them, they go into the Video folder and DO PLAY on the phone. However, I do not want them in the Video folder. I want them in the structured directories in the "Pictures" folder that I made (I want pictures and videos in the same folders by date).
I can copy the files in the phones Video folder to the Pictures directory structure I created on the phone, but a bunch of black thumbnails are left in the Video folder that don't play, making it very inconvenient (since I only want music videos or movies in the Videos folder).
Does anyone know why MP4 files created by the phone will not play when copied to the computer and then back to the phone via USB?
Is this a bug? Any hacks to fix?
Thank you.
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.
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...
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.
