How connecting 2TB HD media player to Galaxy Tab 2 - General Topics

Help!
I have Media Player 2TB (Lacie Lacinema HD) & external 500GB HD (Lacie)
Compatibility problem with Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
- My media players is not recognised by the Tab although it sees an external device is connected. No folder browsing or file openings are possibie.
Nor directly, nor via a app as VLC or MX Player.
- If the media player is connected in the home network & tab too, all is working properly.
But I need a direct solution for holidays were I take only my tab & 2TB media player.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Bart

I think it requires it to be FAT32? Not sure.

[Q] Meida Player / DLNA client

I have external hard drive connected to my router. I have music and videos in this drive. How do I connect to it using Windows Phone? I can't seem to find any any app for this.
Other DLNA clients are usually able to automatically discover and play media from that drive. But not sure how to get Windows Phone to access it and play media.
I tried TVersity, it kind of works but it does not seem to play all format (my .avi files aren't playing)
I tried OnePlayer - it discovers the drive, but it only plays music.

problem viewing avi via microSD?

Hello all,
I'm very new to Asus and Google OS but not new to the tech scene. I wanted to watch avi movies on my transformer so I loaded a few tv episodes onto a microSD (generic, 32gb class 4) but not all the files will play. I'm using MxPlayer and DicePlayer and neither are doing the trick. I've also tried MoboPlayer, BSPlayer and Rockplayer. None of these will handle all the avi files. Only selective files will play.
The plot thickens. I understand avi's can have a wide assortment of codecs but for one tv show (Friends) I personally ripped all the episodes myself from a DVD collection using Handbrake, with the same settings for all episodes (which now I forget because it's been so long). SOME of these episodes play perfectly without a hitch while others won't load at all.
Can anyone advise on troubleshooting? Could it be there generic microSD card? Do I need to download additional codecs from the internet or search other media players?
Thanks in advance!!

It could be that some of them didn't copy over correctly. Check the file size of each episode to see if it matches on your computer ad the SD card. If it doesn't, that's your problem. If they do match, try playing them from the SD on your computer. If they don't play right, delete and copy them back over (or re-rip). If they all play fine, find someone who knows this better than I do. Oh, and MX will tell you the codec under Tools->Properties->More when you're watching them.

Nexus 5: any music player with network support? (e.g. NAS)

Hello, i'm going for a nexus 5 (in 2 days) and leaving my Samsung S3 mini.
Google Play Music doesn't quite do the job I need for music. I loved the Samsung and BQ stock app, and now i'm looking for a good music player, but it must have network support - for playing files from my PC or NAS media server.
I have tried rocket player, which I liked for the simplicity (and folder selection), but no network support at all.
Does anyone know any good app for my needs? Thank you in advance!

Thank you, but that doesn't work for me. It has to be one (like the stock players I wrote) that works seamlessly with several media servers like windows media server, or twonky server (NAS). My S3 mini stock player does that just fine, I tested a BQ Aquarius e5HD and also works well...
I have a NAS also for not needing the pc up and running when I want to retrieve music from a portable device.
So, still trying to find the right app...

Thanks
soumi music player, its a basic one, you can cache playlists to your phone so you can play without being connected,
the only downside is the music player wont show up on lockscreen, you need to go in the app to access controls.
it will generate a database and you can search on it
Why don't you pull the stock music player app from the Samsung?
If I'm not mistaken, Neutron should also connect to a NAS just fine.

[Q] OTG USB and Music Player

Hello, just received my Meegan OTG USB Micro adapter, moved my Music to the msdcard, but now, when I launched the music Player Pro app, there is no music file except the one that is in the internal storage Samsung folder. Tried to force in the music player app settings to search in the external sd but no luck. If I go thru Astro File Explorer, I can see the external sd and all the music, but the Player Pro app only open the song that I selected and not continues playing the other songs.
Any recommendation?
(EDIT) Tried with VLC player and now I am able to play more than one song...
PowerAmp work good with otg
Neutron also works once you point it to the file location on the OTG.
Neutron is audiophile quality listening...

Verizon LG G PAD X8.3

Recently I got one Verizon LG G PAD X8.3 running Android 5.0 Lollipop. This tablet has an additional regular USB port on the top to use USB drive. I bought several 128G USB drives to test. MX player. The only one I have problem that is Samsung 128GB USB3.0 FIT Flash drive (MUF‑128BB/AM). When open MX player, it reads Micro SD but can't read Samsung 128GB USB3.0 FIT Flash drive (MUF‑128BB/AM). When I click to " USB drive 1", immediately close MX player. I tried to reinstall the app and downgrade old versions and still not working. I am wondered if the author can look this bug. I tested other player such as real player, KM player, VLC players, all can open USB drive's files. Just I don't like to use these apps because already used MX player setting and decoding.
Thank you
