Hi,
Anyone got it working? I've tried many times, it can see the folders and files but when i click on any video files and add to playlist or right click/play, the player would load and just stay that way no video or nothing.
Thanks
Edit: android stock 2.21
This is strange, what are u using to share (ur server), windows (xp or vista or 7)?
or maybe another android phone?
Hi,
I am using my router's usb port with a harddrive attached. I tried using my windows 7 pc to watch the videos everything is fine but not my i9003. Tried to watch a video that is shared via my windows 7 pc on my i9003 doesn't work either, just loading the video and then nothing.
Thanks
I don't know what the deal is. Connected with the stock cord as an MTP device. I keep getting an error that windows explorer has stopped working whenever I try to put a movie on the micro sd card or the internal storage.
Files transfers are painfully slow and I really don't want to have to eject the sd card every time. And then put it back in and transfer from sd card to internal storage.
Am I missing something here? I have the drivers installed and I can see the tf300 in "my computer". And can access it, its just when I go to transfer something.
Can you push it through adb?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to ADB.
I have always avoided it. Right now I am using the SD card swap around method. I assume it should work under MTP with windows explorer right?
you can transfer thru wifi but of course it's slower.

Yah with multiple gigs I think its faster to use the sd card.
I've had the same problem when transferring large files over 1gb. I think this problem is due to the very low write and read speed in the tablet.
I was encountering problems when copying directly from a network share to my tablet/SD card, but when I copied the files to my PC first, and then to my tablet it worked fine.

Thanks I think I also only tried from a network share. I'll have to transfer it to my pc first and try that.
Are you ripping dvds and putting them on the tablet? If so, I am struggling with getting a playable file. I have been using Handbrake and tried every setting. There are many posts of people doing it and even when I follow their settings the file comes out scrambled. Anyone have a tried and true app or method?
TIA

Did transferring to the computer then the SD card work ok? Right now I have a 16 gig SD card and Im trying to transfer a 4.5 gig .m2ts video file from a portable hard drive and I get the message that the SD card is too small even though theres 10 gigs left.
I think the network share thing was the issue. I just plugged in and transferred some files that were local and it went fine.

The sdcard is probably formatted in fat32. Which has a max file limit size of 4gb's. Last night I had to trim the credits off of a movie to get it to just fit under the limit.
looks like you guys have a lot of big files,
i honestly rarely have a file bigger than 2GB, except for some installer-files (like microsoft windows, adobe creative suite)
for movies my files are usually under 1GB
Looks like I spoke too soon. Some PDF files worked through explorer. But even from a local drive I tried one 2.5gb MKV and I got the same error. Kind of annoying but oh well I can deal with it.

See thats the weird thing. I had some movies saved as .M4V which are a little over 4 gigs, they transferred over fine. But for some reason it doesnt like storing .m2ts files.
same issue as lightsout
I just noticed the same issue when trying to copy a movie file from my win7 pc to the internal storage over the usb cable. I don't have an SD card installed. I've just realized that it goes fine for avi's. I copied a 1.5GB avi over and it went fairly quickly, but if I try to copy mkv files - I get the Windows Explorer error. This frustrates me.:crying:
Any ideas?
No error here with USB stock v30 and rooted but most mkvs I send are just under or at 1gb which is what handbrake gives me when transcoding a DVD. I do get a warning each time that the video may not work but I just ignore it and the video plays fine once transferred. Using win7 at the other end.

Well that's the difference, then? Maybe I need to root....??? The mkv files were under 1gb.
Certainly couldn't hurt anything but the last time I sent a video file I was not rooted. I have since put root on but have not had the need for video since then. Perhaps I should try to be sure it still works

So you're saying that you were able to move mkv files without root?
Correct and other than a windows 7 warning that it might not play it transferred like any other file. Transfer time sucked on USB 2 connection but I'm hearing that is common on this tablet. I have not sent any video files since I rooted but I don't see why that would matter. Tablet was in media mode.

Rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 - SCH-i705
Android 4.0.4
Stock Rom
Using Directory Bind to expand internal memory.
So here's the story. I use an app to either stream or download videos. I downloaded these two mp4 videos and I would like to transfer them to my computer so I can add them to my network. I've done this a few times and have never had a problem until my last two attempts.
Video One - On tablet 258MB Plays fine in any video player I use.
Transfer the video via USB to computer 164MB (always 164MB) is all that transfers.
Not a huge issue per-say but was wondering if anyone could divine the reason.

Try to uninstall samsung kies and then install again
I recently put a 3GB mp4 file of a TV show I wanted to watch onto my Nexus 7 2013. Because I couldn't download it straight to my tablet (2GB file size limit) I tried copying it onto a USB stick and transferring it to the Nexus with an OTG cable which worked fine. I watched the show earlier today then deleted the file from my Nexus in windows explorer but this caused the Nexus/explorer to crash.
Now I can't access the tablet through windows explorer anymore. Trying to open it just disconnects it as a USB device. I wondered if deleting such a large file has made problems with the file system on the tablet and windows is struggling to read it? Anyone seen anything like this before or have any suggestions on how to repair it?
Hello,
I've got a TV Box running Android 8 (non upgradable) and I'm trying to watch movies from my USB flash drive (formatted as exFAT, since I've got files larger than 4GB).
Issue #1: VLC player (version 3.0, also non upgradable) does not recognize it at all.
Issue #2: In the native File Explorer app, I can see and access the movie files. But, if I try to open them using VLC, an error occurs (something related to "path cannot be found or does not exist").
Question #1: is there a workaround to force VLC to "see" my flash drive?
Question #2: do you know any file explorer app that works on Android 8 AND detects external USB drives, which could be used to open VLC avoiding the path problem?
Question #2 is related to this video. However, this app no longer exists and I've spent hours looking for another one without success.
Thanks in advance.
