i switched roms acouple times today and this has happened one other time.
All my video files not the folders or subtitles or anything just the video files themselves have been deleted.
Using brilliant corners and bottle o smoke and bam they are gone...
all you have to do is make a no media file. basically make a new text doc on your computer and just save it as ".nomedia" You do not have to write anything in the file. This will tell the tablet not to delete any files out of this folder. put this file in every folder that has media items. I hope this helps.
Hmmm...I've never had that happen to me, but thanks for the tip fosser2
It's a known issue and easily fixed with the .nomedia file. Beware though that windows won't let you create such a file. I think most android file managers will allow you to create a file and rename it ".nomedia".

You can easily make this file form windows. Right-click on any explorer window and choose New>Text file. Then just rename it to .nomedia instead of NewTextDocument.txt or whatever the default is.
Scratch that. Windows says "type a file name" or something. Just use notepad++ as someone else mentioned...
Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.
Steps To Find SD Card in your PC
First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'
Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
(Root)/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
If it still not working then reply with the screen shot of root explorer (in /bstfolder)
"Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card"
What do you mean?
Anyways... I wanted to find and open the obb folder. How?

There is no such folder "User data" in "C/program files/bluestack/".
I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....
you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
and paste your file there
Shared Folder problam
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ Shared Folder\0

YEAH! Finally found it again! Thanks mate
Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?
How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window
1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack..
i cant find the iserdata folder in c:/programefiles/bluestacks

You have to use eg. Astro file manager and go to etc/video_clip long press on video file and chose "Open As", touch Video, use stock player.
And have fun because it works.
You welcome.

Hello guys I really need your help...
I had deleted the MxPlayerAD folder by my careless, so as the result I can't find any of the video in the MX's private folder...
when I access the private folder. it shows nothing at all. But the phone storage still shows that my video existes somewhere.(2gb video files,)..So is there any way to get my files back or deleted them all?? I can not find any video file on my phone which shows to the MX's private folder..
hi people, i've installed mx player free on my android phone, but i can't see in the folder/file pane a folder containing a log of m4a file from acr app (adcanved call recording) , if i check in the setting -> list -> extension , m4a is here .
additionally, if i try to rename those file to *.mp3 and/or move to a displayed folder they won't show too ...
if i try to opne those file from root explorer -> open with and select mx player , i can reproduce it
is this a bug?
thanks
