I ripped some DVDs to watch on my cappy using handbrake and after transferring them to the sd card, tried internal and external, I don't get a thumbnail or title for the movie in Gallery. I uploaded them into a dir called "MyVideos" in the root of my external card.
I'm running the perception ROM, no tweaks or mods. But I've had this issue with every ROM so far (Cog, Stock, etc)
Anyone find a work around to labeling movies for Gallery? I can browse to the folder using Astro and can read the files names, which I guess could be a reasonable work around, but would prefer to use Gallery.
Look in the video player app, they shold be listed there.
Use whichever file manager app you have to rename it by long pressing on the file.

Videos Listing in Gallery
The videos in Gallery are listed in "thumb nail" format. Which sometime can't be easily identified. Is there a way to change it to list by file name instead?

Alright, so I'm running Nookie Froyo (customized?) and Sometimes my SD card has problems mounting but I just pop it in and out and it goes.
However, Gallery and Music are not picking up any of the music I have stored on there.
Similarly, when I use Astro to play most of the videos I have, it FC's. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Off the top of my head I'd say for the video issue verify the format is compatible (h.264 baseline with a resolution at or below 854x480 for example) and short of that use ROM manager to fix permissions, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and then check again.
On the custom emmc 0.6.8 build I'm finding that the best thing for me is to re-encode my videos using handbrake with the custom preset found here:

I've tried various video players and have settled for just using the stock player and uninstalling all others. I sometimes get video rotating into portrait mode which I resolve by jumping into Youtube app and running a video while rotating into landscape mode and then jumping back into gallery. Seems to often kick the movie player back into playing in landscape as it's supposed to.
As for music, I haven't tried loading my SD card with MP3's so I can't comment on that.
Hope this helps.
Hey thanks, helped me out too haha.
Does HandBrake have a batch convert/process option?
If it doesn't, I need a program that does.
I used freemake to do the conversion for my nook, and it worked great. But, you do have to be careful what video size, audio and video codecs, bitrate, and file extension that you pick.

It has. Press "Soucre->Add folder", all video files will appear in title list. Simply switch titles and add them to queue.
Honestly, call me dumb. But I clicked "Source> Add folder" Then Start and it only converted 1 file.
EDIT: Sorry ,I figured it out.
I am a movie buff and I like watching them on my phone. I upgraded from a LG Env Touch that I had no problem watching videos. Now that I have a Droid 3 I have not found an app that will let me play my videos. I have install a bunch to find out they will not play my videos in any format. I have tried Mobo player that I was told was the best and that it played most if not all video formats but when I go to click on the folder in which to scan in it shows no videos. If I go to the file folder in apps where the video files would be I click on a video and it ask me what app do I want to play this file and when I select Mobo sometimes it plays but most of the time it won’t. Someone please help with these apps so I can play my movies. I have tried everything I can think of I am a computer person but I think I am doing something wrong. I have tried almost all formats and I have set the conversion program to convert the video to the Droid 3's accepted format and screen res of 980 by 540 and still can't get it to play. What is messed up is that the Motorola app ZumoCast plays all my video off my computer by a 3g connection linked to my computer but I can't find a standalone app that will do this. "Please help me"
I know it's by no means a fancy video player, but I have no issues loading on videos and watching them in QuickPic. I use .wmv shrunk down so the height is 480 and the width whatever keeps the original ratio. I placed them in the external SD card's DCIM folder then added that folder to QuickPic's gallery. I like QP because it allows you to select which folders are in your gallery. Essentially, you could have a folder called "movies" and that would be a sub-folder in your QP gallery.
I use the classic rock player and it plays anything.
Yeap, it's normal.
A .nomedia file is a blank file placed in a folder. When the media scanner detects the .nomedia file, the media scanner doesn't scan that folder so the images in that folder don't appear in the Gallery app. With this, you can prevent junk images like weather skins as an example to appear in your photo gallery.
Same goes to the music. If you don't want background music from games to appear in the music player, just create a .nomedia file in the selected game folder.

I plugged up to my pc and put albums in the music folder and picture albums in a pictures folder. When i open the music app, it doesn't see any music and same with gallery, cant see anything only pics i've taken with phone. If i use my file explorer it see's everything, opens it and plays. I tried third party gallery like quickpic and it works fine. Poweramp works fine as well for music. The stock software isnt showing anything. I factory reset phone as well and same thing. I've been using android for the longest and first time encountered this. (EVO, EVO 3D GS1, GS2, GS3, Skyrocket, Nexus 4)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed the same issue here. I can connect to a network share, copy music into the Music folder (or media/music) but it wont appear in the Music app, or DoubleTwist. The same is true when copied over USB. Not sure how to get it to detect the music. If I navigate to the folder, I can launch individual songs, but the players wont read the tags, or add the song to it's database...
Force close media storage and use
Media scanner on the play store right after fc-ing media storage.

That didn't seem to do anything for me. I did get music to appear once though by using DoubleTwist AirSync yesterday. I sync'd some crappy windows sample music successfully via that method last night. It showed up in DoubleTwist and the HTC Music app. So I manually deleted those albums and attempted to sync an album I recently got. That time it showed up in DoubleTwist but NOT the HTC Music app. I cannot figure out what the hell is going on or what to do about it. I've tried 3 different media scanner's from the play store and none have done anything for me. I've tried copying my music to various folders hoping they'll get caught in a scan but still no success. Is everybody else able to use the Music app with no problems?
I thought I was the only one. I tried to install Swype also and that didn't work either

still no fix for this problem? will anyone care to reply n help me out?just got the htc one n this glitch is RUINING the brand new phone for me what did the OP do?
So I just found a way to get everything back .
First download a root file explorer (one able to gain root)
then navigate to your root it should be just a "/" then go to /data and then /data/media.
Bam that's where everything is! now just move all the folders to the main sdcard directory, /sdcard or delete the files that are in /data/media if you don't need them anymore.
Good Luck and hit "Thanks" if it helped :laugh::laugh:

I used the HTC sync program. Music is there and works. For pictures it separated one album into 30 and gave them all random titles. Very strange. Could use some help here as well

Have the same problem. All my photos don't show up in gallery.

I think you should clear gallery cache data from app manager and then restart.
This was solved my issue once.

You will also need to clear the "media storage" cache.

Sounds like a lot of jumping through hoops just to transfer some songs and pics?? All of my android friends are always saying how much they love the drag and drop features of their phones, and how they dont need itunes to sync pics and songs. Looks like its not all its cracked up to be, with a 2013 flagship model not properly transferring media via drag and drop.

Worked fine when I dragged music and pictures over. Not sure what OP is doing wrong.
I put pictures in the Pictures folder and music in the Music folder. Then unplugged and they showed up in the respective apps.
Since HTC Music Player can show folders as a category what I did was simple -
1. Under Music folder created sub-folders with same name as my iTunes Playlists
2. Opened each folder and dragged the iTunes Playlist from iTunes into it
3. This copies all songs from that playlist into the folder
So the folders in the player work as playlists
Also, copy over Events from iPhoto into Pictures folder creating each sub-folder and this show up in Gallery as Albums !!
All done ...
im having the same problem with my htc one. will someone please tell me if they found a way to fix this issue? clearing the media storage didnt fix the prob,it only made it worse now even the pics i took from the phome wont show up in the gallery. rebooted it like 3 times. please help! this is completely ruining my brand new htc one for me..
