I have several devices that I have MX player pro installed on and I want to know if it syncs progress or information between devices. For instance if I'm watching a movie that I have saved on multiple devices and I want to go to another device will it sync the information over so I can pick up where I left off at on a different device?

OK, so I'm currently working on getting this to work on my captivate. Not sure if it will or not, but I am hopeful. I will edit this post with a walk thru if I get it to work. But for now, I will start with two links I found that leads me to think this may be possible.

BTW, if this has been done before and I am just trying to reinvent the wheel, please point me in the right direction. I couldn't find much about this when searching
OK, so not much of a walkthru other than to say it does work.
First you have to put your phone into media player mode which is done in settings\application\usb Settings
Note: the phone does not seem to like to connect to the PC unless you are at the touchWiz homescreen. I had to clear default settings on Launcher Pro to get back to touchWiz for it to get into its media player mode.
Once you do that it should install drivers and show up as a syncable item in Windows Media Player.
After that, if you have a zune pass and have downloaded music with it in the zune software, it will show up in windows media players library.
I was most interested in syncing the zune channels that update once a week, so I moved those playlists to the phone, pressed sync and it worked.
Now if only I could get the zune playlists to show up in something like media monkey where syncing is a bit easier than with windows media player (my opinion of course).
Basically all it shows is that our captivate(and I'd assume all galaxy s varieties) will play DRM'd WMA files that fall in the realm of the windows plays for sure category. Good to know if you use subscription music through zune or have other uses for that.
This doesn't work with i9010. It says more sync rights are needed.
Unfortunate as I was hopeful after it worked with my N8.
Any thoughts for getting this to work on Armani S?

Any way of getting this to work with CM7.
I guess you need to be able to mount using MTP as opposed to USB storage.
Is that doable?

The links in OP point to the support of PlayForSure type of DRM which maybe supported if you use Windows Media Player to sync in MTP media player mode. However, Zune pass uses Zune DRM, not PlayForSure DRM. Zune DRM will only work on Microsoft Zune players and WP7 phones. Not to be confused with purchased songs in Zune. Purchased songs no longer have DRM in them.
Now CM7 is another story. I not sure if it even supports PlayForSure DRM at all.
Well I have the Nokia N8 and that can play Zune pass content when transferred via MTP.
So I guess the question is can we enable stock Android to mount as an MTP device?

Any app available that can mount AOSP builds as MTP?

I know that there are several (quite a few) number of media streamer apps
on the playstore that allow you to stream videos and such from a server onto
the phone/tablet device.
I want to try and build one myself. But Im not exactly sure where to start and how
to go about doing it. Namely, I am unsure how to get a media server to talk with
an android client app.

How do you sync your podcast subscriptions and playback location between Android and Windows/Mac/Linux? I'm open to anything, and gPodder looks nice, but even though its app page on the Play Store says it supports syncing across devices it definitely does not (the Android app doesn't even have an options menu).
I'd love to utilize my personal server somehow as a web player, but that's not a big deal and probably isn't possible without writing a system completely from scratch. Basically, I need a good podcast app that allows me to download OR stream podcasts to/from my phone and that syncs subscriptions AND playback position with either a) server software that I can install/manage, or b) an app that works with Cloud Caster.
(Free apps are greatly preferred but I'm willing to pay a couple bucks for a good app. The web player isn't completely necessary, I'm fine with a client like gPodder offers if necessary, but the web player would be nice.)
Thoughts? Thank you in advance!
Would it be possible to implement synchronisation of the last played position across devices? So when I stop playback on one device and open the same file on another, it asks me to resume where I left off on the first device.
Some reading apps do this (e.g. Moon+ Reader) but I haven't found any media players with that function.

It would be possible if save playback history on a server.
But I am not sure it is really necessary feature.
Anyway I will make a note

The reason why readers can do it is because it stores the "last read" position in your account info, on the reader's server (ie on Moon's server). Media players play files on your device, and not from some central server where you have an account, so media players wouldn't have anywhere to put this info.
I'm not sure if Google Play Services could somehow be used to store this in your Google account (if you decide to opt-in). Personally, I wouldn't want Google knowing even more info about me than they already do.
Hello!
+1 on this one. I'm watching videos on both my phone and my tablet, and it is annoying to manually find the resume point.
One (more) easy way to implement that would be to store the resume point on disk, in a text file for example. If the video folder is synced between the devices by another program (this is my case), the resume point would be automatically synced.
+1!! Any news? you could use the space on Google of course only for those who want it.
I'd love to have that feature as well. A file written to an accessible file path, e.g. one line hash:time per file would even be enough as a poster above suggested. Another tool could then take care of all syncing.
+1 old subject, but I would love to. Perhaps a file sync on GDrive or Dropbox, optionally.
+1 for this even though it's old thread.
