Using mVideoPlayer I have used their feature for adding folders to look for videos, but it doesn't seem to recognize sdcard2. it allows you to select it in their browse window, but doesn't seem to index it.
I have movies on sdcard2 that I can see with mVideoPlayer. One thing I had to tweak:
Do you have .nomedia in the same folder as your videos? If so, you have to tell mVideoPlayer to ignore .nomedia. See "Settings/Prefs => VideoList/Behaviour => Respect .nomedia" -- uncheck this. Then do a refresh and your sdcard2 video folder should appear.
I actually found that it would not see the movies on the root of SDCARD2. I created a Videos folder and moved my videos there, then added that as a Folder and it works. Guess it was just something with the root of the SDCARD2.

how do i change the player for streaming video to TCMCP. I'm running WM6.1
no one? is it possible?
I think you have problems getting answers because they are there already to find by searching.
Depends on the video type. The easiest way is to try launching a video. Then using a advanced files explorer like Resco, navigate to \My Documents. There you will probably find a playlist file with a .m3u extension.
Again with an advanced file explorer like resco, you click & hold on it, the select open with, then browse to the player .exe you wish to use, then check the box that say "Always use this prograsm for this file type".
You're done.
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?
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.
All media files got deleted on both internal and external sd card. Other files seems safe though.
If I open my gallery app no items are displayed. I can't really say that the phone got formatted I think its more like the phone's media scanner deleted all my media files. The only ones left are my manga images which was not deleted. My best guess is that it was inside a ".nomedia" folder. All the folders where my media deleted were, are retained.
Simply put, all files that were identified by the mediascanner were deleted. .jpg, gif, png, mkv, mp4. The only once save where the media files under ".nomedia" folders.
Any way to recover this files? Seached everywhere but no issue same as mine. Thanks!
Side question. Might be related to my problem:
What is the "storage" folder for? Can be found when plugged on pc under Internal Storage->"storage"
I originaly made this in the S7 section so i hope that the ops delete that one.
There are alot of guides around for converting movie files so they can be played back on S7/Gear VR some of them might actualy work but ive noticed that alot of the guides forgets to mention the audio output when they convert they only tell you about the video so to remedy this ill write down my experience..
1. Most guides tell you correcly about the video formats
2. Most guides don´t tell you that AC-3 won´t work. Only AAC and MP3 works.
3. First i thought avidemux would be perfect but apparently it cant read the complete audiostream on the files iv´e tested with no matter what audio settings i used in avidemux the output file ended up without speech.
4. So. Download ffmpeg
5. Put your video file in the ffmpeg\bin folder or add a path to the environment variable.
6. Open a cmd in your ffmpeg\bin folder and paste this line
ffmpeg -i YOURFILENAME.mkv -c:v copy -c:a aac OUTPUTFILENAME.ACC.mkv
7. After the conversion is done the output file should play correctly on your S7/Gear VR
8. Last note i have only tested this with movies that have an AC3 stream but it should work for other audio streams.
A little followup 1..
I thought it was a hazzle to install Emby or any other dnla client and milkvrlauncher just to watch local media in milkvr(And im not even supposed to have access to milkvr for that matter..) so i went the easy way and simply installed Abyss webserver added the mkv file extension and added my media files to the htdoc folder and now i simply open the local web adress in the samsung internet browser and it lists all the files and folders i have in the htdoc folder and i can can watch what ever file i put in the htdoc folder.
A little followup 2..
If you Install Milk VR and then Milkvrlauncher you can get the weblinks to open in Milk VR.

You can make a batch file and save it to the folder were your media files are.
Add this line in the bat file and save it in the media folder.
for %%a in ("*.mkv") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -c:v copy -c:a aac "FOLDER_WERE_THE_CONVERTED_FILES_SHOULD_BE_SAVED\%%~na.mkv"
pause
Save it and when you run the bat file it will convert all files in the folder.
