hi all,
i installed an app named folder lock advanced from google play store to secure my media files. after installing it i added my media files in it after which it got encrypted and i was able to access my files only through that app...it was all good.
but the issue i have is that...when i first installed it and started adding my videos it added only few of them and left the rest...so i uninstalled it at once and reinstalled it again.
when i uninstalled it the video files which added at first got encrypted while the others weren't.
i reinstalled the app again and added media files again and this time the remaining videos only got added to it...the encrypted videos were left out...
i looked in some forums on how to run encrypted video files and renamed the file with .mp4 extension/ .3gpp extension and tried to run the file...but my video player says " cant run the file".
since i got pissed off real bad because of this chaos...i uninstalled the app again...now all my video files are encrypted because of it...i cant run the video file even if i rename it with an extension of mp4/3gpp.
In my SD card i got a folder named Folder Lock Advanced in which there are two sub folders. one folder has thumbnails of all the videos while the other had the videos in encrypted format.
please help me to fix this issue.
thanks in advance !:fingers-crossed:
If the app is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.newsoftwares.folderlockadvanced from NewSoftwares.net I advice you to email them directly at the address [email protected] so that you can ask for support to them

Hi,
I'm still having a problem to hide my videos (mp4).
I have tried to use both .nomedia blank file and .folder naming format on my HTC Desire but it is still not hiding my videos on most of the videos apps - Video and Gallery.
The naming format i was using is:
/mnt/sdcard/.vid/
I also added the .nomedia file into the .vid folder.
I have also tried to restart the mobile several times and it is still not working. All the videos in the .vid folder are in .mp4 format.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
ssboyz

I would like to help you but I can't understand what you are saying.
What is "nomedia?"
What is osu-the music game? Can you be a little more clear?

.nomedia is a file that works disable the media scanning in android.
If the '.nomedia' is in folder, that folder disable the media scanning.
You see the page - http://osu.ppy.sh/p/about
osu need to many pictures and mp3 because of running games
So, If the '.nomedia' is not in Osu folder, their all files(musics, pictures) are scanning,
and therefore i can see their music in music app, and can see their picture in gallery.
If i put the .nomedia to Osu in android 2.2, 2.3, that files didn't scanning.
but, xoom it's not.
I used tiamat 2.1 hammerhead.
I'm having the same problem, rooted on stock Rom. Pictures still show up in Gallery although the .nomedia file has been used.
Is there a fix for this?
You should just be able to open your gallery, highlight the folder that they are in and click Delete. It will not delete the files. Just their entry into the gallery. Shouldnt show up again unless you do another media scan. Not sure what happens then. I usually just delete the folder after removing it from the gallery first. Never tried scanning again to see if they come back
Hi all, I have try using Google Music and Shuttle Music Player.. it's quite weird that it even detects my mpg files or my recording files which are store inside other folders ...
It's frustrating that I have to go through the Song list and start to blacklist one by one...is there a way around this ? I can't see it in the app Settings ...

This isn't a Google Music/Shuttle Player issue. This is how Android hunts for media.
To prevent any app from indexing a location that has media files (and by extension, showing up in any music/gallery/movie player app), you have to add a .nomedia file inside the directory that contains the files.
You can do this one of two ways; you can open a blank notepad file, save it with the filename ".nomedia" and set the filetype to "all types", or you can download this one which I made here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xat4bgykd5tugvl/nomedia.zip
Extract from the above folder, and copy and paste the .nomedia file into any folder that contains things you don't want to see in your media players. Then close Play Music/Shuttle or force close/clear data on them, and open them back up again. You won't see them anymore.
thank you so much ... that helps a lot
HI!
I usually download all my torrents on mobile including my TV shows.Recently,I downloaded arrested development season 1,mkv file and was watching it using mx Pla:yer prowhen all of a sudden my mx player stopped detecting those videos.So now I have to use my file explorer then navigate to downloads and then finally select a file and click it.This ****'s irritating ,so could you guys give me your advice,since you people know more?
@rashadthegre check
Settings > List > Folders
And see if your download folder is in the list of folders to be searched by MX.

Hi,
MX Player can detect most files with default setting.
But there are still some devices not detecting all files unless adding folders manually.
It would be help for improving default setting if you send system log after refreshing video list.
Please make sure that log should be gather immediately after refreshing video list because it will be erased periodically.
Thanks

Some of your video folders contains a file named ".nomedia". It actually represents that there is no media content inside the folder. So, if you keep any videos inside that directory or any subdirectory, it will be ignored.
For example your download folder in internal memory & media folder on external memory has ".nomedia" files. That's why it's not getting listed.
Either you have to delete those files or alternatively you can force MX Player to scan the directories even if ".nomedia" file found (Goto Settings >> List & Disable "Recognise .nomedia". Then, Refresh the video list.

.vdat looks like just alias of .mp4
Anyway it will be added on next version for convenient use.

Workaround/Solution:
1. Delete instances of .nomedia files in the root of your sd card
2. Go to Music folder-----Create another folder in the Music Folder----Move ur songs into this folder . Now the files would appear in the multimedia player and play just fine.
3. Similarly create another folder under DCIM/Camera and move ur pics into the new folder. They will now appear in the gallery app.
