[Q] Saving HD video directly to a thumb drive or hard drive using USB OTG - General Questions and Answers

I'm having a similar problem to one I noticed in a different post, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1987102 . I need to save HD video to an external storage device directly, as this guy wanted to do. However, every camera app I've tried, and ursafe media director doesn't recognize my usb otg hard drive as a location. the only way I can browse it is through file manager. Any suggestions? I have a Lenovo S-3000, takes 1080p video, and I want to be able to record directly to a thumb drive with it. Thanks in advance!

[REQ] TV-Out to TV-In

I like TP function that they could connect to monitor out for presentation, etc..
But would it be better if TP could use TV-Out cable as a TV-In and record some TV programs, and convert into FLV or MPG formats ?
Anyone could develop this idea?
Thanks.
I don't think it has the hosrpower to do that.... Outputting is one thing but receiving a signal and encoding on the fly... Naaaah not gonna happen...
However a small device that plugged into the USB, and essentially streamed video direct to the built ijn memory card would be possible, but somebody would have to create it !
I don't think it can be done, for the same reason you can't just "convert" a TV-out on a PC video card to TV-in. It requires different hardware, which isn't there. That's why you need to buy a video capture card.
Well, you could just point your camera at a TV showing the video source...

You mis-understand, the device I have in mind IS a video capture card, with USB host facillities, allowing it to use the phone as a USB hard drive to store it's video on, this video could then be played back on the phone !

Yes, I think that's a valid idea, I was actually replying to asiandelight's post, because he mentions the TV-out cable.

Nexus Media Importer app (review)

Have any of you guys checked this application out?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5ob21leXNvZnQubmV4dXN1c2IuaW1wb3J0ZXIiXQ..
It does not require root and you can import off a SD card, flash drive, and external hard drive. It's a really smooth interface. I'm not the developer or anything but I made a video review of the application.
Thanks,

Nexus Media Importer works on HTC One X+...
Hi everyone,
I just tried Nexus Media Viewer (the free version of Nexus Media Importer) on a new (locked / non-rooted) HTC One X+ from AT&T. Simply amazing!!! I connected 2 completely different MicroSD cards, 8Gb and 16Gb and they worked. I was able to see their contents on my HOX+. I also tried an IBM wired USB mouse and a Logitech M705 wireless mouse (using a USB dongle); they worked flawlessly and I was able to see a cursor, scroll through screens and select using the mice! Awesome work.

[Q] Can I record videos directly to my hard drive using USB otg?

Hello. I have a question.
I want to buy and USB Otg cable (ET-R205UBEGSTD) for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but I can't find one important (to me) information. if I will connect hard drive (sata3, but inserted into Case with USB out), and connect it via USB Otg I will be able to see all my data from hard drive. That's easy. But... Will I be able to save photos and videos taken and recorder from Samsung Camera App directly to hard drive? I am asking because I want to record long videos in Full HD and I know that they will not fit on internal memory I could buy a memory card, but I want to see all my options.
Can anybody who have that kind of cable check this for me? I would be great full
Thanks in advance.

USB OTG Music Player for unrooted Oreo?

I will be traveling internationally soon and was hoping to load up a large USB OTG pen drive for the flight with my entire music collection so I wouldn't have to pick and choose ahead of time and waste internal storage. My device is not rooted, and I would prefer to keep it that way. I've tried a TON of music players, from the big name ones to very obscure ones and none of them seem to be able to recognize or be directed to scan the USB OTG drive for playback. Is this just something that isn't possible with unrooted Oreo? Any help or app recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Have you checked this thread?
This post is from october 2017, so it should work on oreo since it's pretty recent

Yes, I did find that thread and tried the players listed. I can't get them to work, though. Nothing will let me navigate to the USB drive itself; only to internal storage to pick media folders. I can see it with Solid Explorer, but it will only play a single file at a time.
Reading this reddit thread looks like that otg devices should get mounted to the internal storage (dev post)
And looks like there is a specific music player for this: here
Hope this helps somehow, I know how bad is to have a giant music library but not enough space

Thanks for the link. The thread made me hopeful, but no luck so far. The drive isn't mounted anywhere under internal storage that I can find. Its actual mount point is /mnt/media_rw/F417-B616 (which, I'm guessing, is some sort of hardware ID or serial for the drive). Can't find a player that will let me navigate to that to scan, though. Haven't tried USB Audio Player PRO yet, though. It doesn't have a trial, and $8 seems a bit steep to just play off a USB even if it did work. May have to break down and try it.

So I got something somewhat working. I installed MiXplorer file explorer. It can see the USB drive and has a built-in media player that will play all the files in a given folder. So I guess my choice is between one CD at a time, or copying what I want to play from the USB to the device first. Which may wind up being a better solution since I won't be killing battery powering a USB drive.
Total Commander would be able to do it.
It has a built in media player and you're able to create/save playlist from any directory.
.
Check the play store or Google Total Commander Android to go to their official site (ghisler) to download it. The most recent version just improved OTG support, and there are also easy to install plugins for additional OTG support if needed.
