Anyone use Overdrive media console to listen to audiobooks downloaded from the library? I have been trying to get it to work on my Touch Pro using Silence's latest rom. Everytime I try and open a .ODM file I get the error "Unable to get the windows media DRM system information (error 0xC00D2764) required to process licenses".
Anyone have any experience with this software either working or not?
x2
I get the same message.
Any help?
Are you getting the message in the OverDrive client or are you trying to open it directly in Windows Media?
Did you download the associated WMA files using the OverDrive client? (When you first grab the ODM it gives you the option to download the whole book or just selected chapters).
It is working for me. I think the first time I played, it downloaded a license file for Windows Media (it appears that is what OverDrive uses on the back-end) so make sure you have an Internet connection the first time you try and play a book.
Cheers.
Same error with Overdrive Media Console
I have downloaded the book to my desktop and transfered the files using the desktop version. My mobile version sees the file but give the drm error. I have tried installing the overdrive media console to both the TP and the SD Micro card as well as transferring the wma to both locth locations. Same error every time. I am using ski rom.
I do not have a data plan but I do have wireless access so if win mo needed to download any update to media player then it should have been able to

I get the error upon processing the ODM in Overdrive Media Console Console 1.0.0 for WinMo. When i checked out my audiobook from our local library, i originally downloaded it to my PC with the PC OD Media Console and had a DRM issue which i fixed by removing my DRM folder and running the security update again. Is there something similar i can do for my WinMo?

Like the above poster, i do not have Cell Service on my device, but i am online via WiFi and have confirmed there are no connectivity issues at the time of opening the ODM.
Any help would be appreciated!
Overdrive Media Console - DRM Error
Hi
I have this same DRM error with Overdrive on my HTC HD2. I've downloaded the DRM's WMA file to Overdrive Media Console on my PC - it works fine there - and transferred it to my HD2. It shows up in the Overdrive client on the HD2 but fials with a DRM error when I try to play it. The file is licensed fir 21 days from my local library and should play on my PC or HD2. Has anybody found out anything more about this problem or got DRM's files to play on their WinMo HTC ? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I am also getting this error on my TP2. I have been narrowing it down by flashing the stock rom and the second release stock rom and it works on both. I tried using the WMP and DRM files from these roms and that doesn't fix the problem. I'll keep hunting in case someone else finds an answer but I think this is an ongoing problem that won't be going away anytime soon.
Hey,
I just got an MK808 TV Stick and I it's a pretty neat slick device. Like how small it is, and seems to be pretty fast (but, will probably flash some custom ROM on it soon).
Anyways, I want to use this as a replacement OS for my Smart TV and play Netflix/Hulu (have to root/market enabler to get this)/stream from my personal library, which is all shared on a raspberry pi PC via SMB. My Smart TV is DLNA compliant, but can't play all the different formats that I have accumulated over the years. My new stick TV PC, so far can handle it all.
Whats the best and easiest way to open files stored on SMB drives, and play them in a media play on my stick PC (right now, using VLC do to this). I say easy, in the sense that when my 6 year old kid wants to watch one of his movies he doesn't have to mount a drive via ES file explorer and choose what file from a list of directories like I am willing to do, but more of a "see the cover art, click and play" kind of way. I know XBMC would do most of this (if not all) but it only does software decoding, and I would like to have hardware.
Thanks in advance.
Ive got an ICUBE mk809II, i also have a NAS (nsa310) with my network share on. I use solid explorer and you can map to your network drive with that by adding an SMB share. Hopefully you have root. You can also then do a shortcut on the desktop by doing a solid explorer widget to that network share.
The second way i've used is to download a CIFS/SMB app, MountManager seemed the best, and you a can make a virtual link to your network share which is by default in your mnt folder. If you wanted to use your tv stick as a torrent box, you can map to the network share, and point Adownloader to the virtual link in the mount folder and it will get to your share. Its then easy to bookmark to your SMB/network share by doing a widget in Solid Explorer on your desktop. So with one click from the desktop, your there, I mainly use MX Player over VLC player as VLC was having audio sync problems.

Try MIZUU BETA .
Tried MX Player?
Did, played some of my content, but not all of it. VLC so far is working ok.
Anyone have any idea how to install Finless rom with this? Can't seem to find much information on how to flash it, just what its features are.

Wow zmaki, that was the perfect choice! App works great for streaming from my SMB shares and shows the cotent like XBMC, except with decent rendering!
I have to admit though, I wish the program had its own built in media player with codec support, that would make it the cats ass.
PLEX works awesome, no problems with any streaming and it looks great.

Hi,
The question here is the same issue I have wirh my new android miniPC to let my children (and even my self) an easy access to files stored on my PC.
My device is not rooted (not I'm goind to do so).
The device is conected over the same LAN (wi-fi is disabled).
I saw codlike two solutions ("solid explorer" or MountManager) but both need root, is there another solution?

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.

Does anyone know how MX Player can "Scan" or access a mounted USB OTG drive?
It looks like the drive is mounted in /mnt/media_rw/, but MX Player can't access that directory.
Yes, I know there is a workaround by browsing to the individual videos and hitting play one-at-a-time. But I'd really like to be able to see the list of videos natively within MX Player, so that I can jump to the next video without having to go back into a file manager.

In which device..?
Needs proper mount point information.
Open the OTG drive in any file manager & check the property.
In most of the devices media_rw is uaed to raw storage access & will no be available for third party apps. The same partition is remounted as sdcardfs file system under /storage to manage write access to external storage.

This is a Moto X Pure, running Android 6.0.
The USB OTG drive is mounted as what looks like a URL. USB://CORSAIR/
The drive does not have a true representation in /storage, except for whatever symbolic link that might have been placed there by a 3rd party app like StickMount (which I've tried). The true mount point of the USB OTG storage device looks like it's in /mnt/media_rw/XXX-YYYY/.
The issue is that MX Player seems to require scanning of a true directory structure, and can't use a symbolic link as a target for media scanning.
Same issue here running Android 6.0.1 (Resurrection Remix v5.6.0) on Asus ZenPhone 2 ZE551ML.
When going to Settings -> List -> Scan Folders -> Add, the starting location is internal storage (/storage/emulated/0). Navigating up seems to freeze the folder content list below, again one folder upwards (/storage) it lists xxxx-xxxx folders for external SDcard and OTG storage. Navigating into the OTG directory freezes the list again (as it could not read its contents while showing the contents of the previous folder). Tapping 'Add' adds the folder, but back on the main view, it does not actually scan the newly added folder.

From Android 6, OTG drive is officially supported by Android but in completely different way.
In fact, OTG drive is not mounted in file system but can only be access via Android's unique Storage Access Framework(SAF).
Unfortunately, listing files on SAF is not yet supported, but will be supported in the future.
OK. Thank you very much for the response

Sent from xt1096 with Marshmallow!
Just for information, I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 with Marshmallow. If i try to open a file from the stock android file manager it works fine, except for the external subtitles that are not loaded (I have to load them once the video is started from a internal folder and not from the OTG video folder), If I open a video file with ES File Explorer (right now the only file manager that can load USB otg on 6.0) it loads also the subtitles but when I try to reload it after a break or when I exit the program I have a black screen and the video doesn't start (it seems that ES file create a fake network address that goes to //usb:/....).
I hope you'll fix this soon! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your sharing, but my G5 cannot be rooted at this moment. Hope the next update MX player can support OTG in Marshmallow again.

@bleu8888, first off, awesome app! This is a really robust media player, and is super helpful to have!
I'm just curious if OTG drive support via Android SAF is still on your roadmap? Or has it been implemented in a recent version and I just haven't figured out how to use it?
Thanks!
MY guess is that the pen's filesystem is FAT32 which doesn't support linux permissions so MX Player tries to check if it has permissions and it can't so it freezes.
Which could be fixed if you tried to format the pendrive as ext4 or something like that.
Good luck
You could also try a bind or remount command from the pen to a certain folder. But there are so many filesystems on android so i can't help on that part either.

In Fact SAF is required to rename/delete file on Lollipop and above. MX uses SAF implementation to rename/delete files & to write subs.
Even if it's implemented for OTG in future, What's the real challenge is is everytime you have to Grant access.
The Current OTG support purely depends on the mount point used in your ROM. For Example in most of the Samsung devices USB OTG is mounted under /Storage/<some ID>. In this case just refreshing the media list will bring the files in list.
What I am thinking is USB host implementation. The best part is that, It can support even NTFS partitions even if it's not supported by the device natively. I have already discussed about this with @bleu8888. But, it won't be a part of 1.9.0. He may implement in future after finishing 1.9.0 to everyone.

Cool -- super helpful!
In my case it's mounted only at /mnt/media_rw/<some ID>, and media_rw doesn't show up in /mnt/ within the MX Player directory browser. Although passing URIs to MX Player from the native Android file browser (from within Settings->Storage) works fine, so maybe I can mess with the permissions to find a workaround.

I'd buy MX player if it supported using USB host natively... I have the pen on NTFS which seems to work fine through the Paragon NTFS mounter app.

Definitely would buy as well.
I know Titanium Backup is a terrible comparison, because TB has root permissions, but just taking a look at their directory-selection implementation (that lets you choose your method), including DocumentProvider, I think is a very slick catch-all that will cover everyone. In my case I used DocumentProvider just to identify the right storage device, and then all further file management happens within the app.

Infact /mnt/media_rw/<some ID> is used for rw access to the storage. But, it's not accessible to the third party apps.
If you changed it's permissions it may be scanned by MX. By default it's excluded since it causes duplicate entries in some devices with improper implementation. In MX Player 1.8.9, Goto Settings > List > Folders. Select /mnt/media_rw & unhide it. Then back to the list screen and tap on refresh button or pull down the list to refresh.

It doesn't harm anything. You are just forcing MX Player to scan it. If you have root access & fixed the permissions, it will scan without any issues. Else, MX Player will not scan the mountpoints under media_rw.

Oh sorry, I wanted to say "Please someone confirm this works", I'm not really 'afraid'.
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.
