I finally successfully flashed CM7 to my Captivate. The only problem I've encountered is that my phone apparently no longer recognizes video files. I transferred a few .avi files to my external SD card, but when I went to view them, they don't show up in the gallery or any of the apps that play video. When I check for the external SD in the file manager, the videos don't show up. I then plugged the phone back into my PC and copied the files from the external SD to the internal and they still don't show up in the gallery. They do show up in the file manager, but when I try to open them, I get the message that the files can't be played.
Has anyone else run into this or have a potential fix? Thank you.

I've heard that AOSP doesn't have access to all the codecs samsung does. You might need to grab a different app for it.

I've had my Captivate for a week now, rooted, tweaked and have it generally where I want it.
I'm having a problem that I discovered this evening. I went to preview a WMV file which I had sent to me this morning. I watched the video without problem this morning. When I went to preview the file again this evening, I click on the preview button on the gmail, and a pop up came up saying, "Fetching Attachment" which is the norm. Then the popup now says, "An SD card is required to download attachments"
I went in and started trying other attachments which I need for work and I get nothing but what I put above. Looks like the internal SD card is not being recognized. I went in and changed the internal from a hidden file to allow the Gmail program to "see" the SD card, ... No go... Still doesn't work.
It seems that there are a couple of people posting the same problem... Any ideas or suggestions???
I now have another app not working because it doesn't see the internal SD Card on my Captivate. Beautiful Widgets cannot funtion because it also needs an SD card............
I can see everything via Droid Explorer and when the phone is mounted as well.........
I need some help here to figure out what's up...........
I have an htc pure (at&t). i installed froyo 2.2 (topaz) this morning. I updated the zimage, initrd, & rootfs files to newer versions to get my sound working. the sound works, if i use OI file manager, and browse to /sdcard i can play my files.
My problem is i cant make the music app see the sd card. i click on it and it says "your phone does not have an sd card inserted". under sd card & phone storage settings, it says "unavailable ) on all of the entries for the sd card, and the mount and format are greyed out.
The sd card is inserted, Froyo is installed to it. before starting android, i plugged the phone in and selected active sync. (read this would help, it hasnt)
I cant understand why the apps dont recognize the sd card. any clues?
i have all my media files in a folder called music located in ( sdcard/media/music/ ) ...never had a problem with finding music...hope this helps...let me know if it works or not
I used the scan for music under dev tools (i think thats where it was) and music player sees my music, but it still isnt working right. i tried to read a pdf, and the default brower refused to open the file, citing no sd card found. its not the first thing to give me an error like that. The sound settings, where i set my ringtone, also shows no options. i managed to change the phone call tone, but when i did, the text message tone changed from the droid sound, to some random ring, which i cant find or change.
Hey all. I want to make a backup of my internal SD before doing a full wipe.
However, files don't copy properly, or at all. When I try to copy all of my Internal SD card, it freezes on "Calculating time for transferring files" for a while. Even when it starts transferring files, it just stops after a short while, no error messages, nothing - Just barely any files transferred at all and that's it.
I tried copying folder by folder, maybe there's a problem with a specific file, but it occurs just the same most of the time. I tried to copy a folder that's just 57MB, it only created the folder on the HDD and one subfolder, and that's it.
I'm running ROMAUR V7.0. USB transfer mode is MTP (Internal SD is not recognized when it's MSC).

Nope, that's not the issue. My External SD card is just fine, the problem is with the internal SD, which is to say the internal storage. It's not corrupted or anything, otherwise the phone wouldn't work properly.

well pc companion/ flashtool see if it fix the problem make sure you backup
which folder is it failing on?
No specific pattern, I can't tell...
I tried reflashing 4.2.2 Kernel, I'll test it now if it might have fixed the issue.
EDIT: Nope, problem persists. No idea what's going on. I'll see if I can bypass it by clearing some space on the external SD and use Root Explorer to copy all the contents to it. Maybe from the External SD there won't be any problem.
The images, music and video files i put onto the internal storage doesn't come up in the album, video or walkman or other apps that can read these files but if you manually just open the file with those listed app it works but the properties are all unknown and stuff, however when i put these files onto a Micro SD card it reads it perfectly. Though when i take pics and gets saved in internal storage that still gets read.
i tried force stopping it and clearing data and stuff, reset no luck. Help

Copy everything you have on your internal storage to your pc and then copy them back to your storage. Sometimes that works.

Any suggestions... (I've eliminated any problems with FireKat and PopRocks. They are solid)
Running FireKat V20 (4.1.1.) SD card tested and is readable/writeable (128Gb). Pics are in proper DCIM\Camera folder on SD. Music is in Music\ folder on SD. (some players find music but "PlayerPro" and "Sound Picker" do not find music. Cannot change ringtone with Sound Picker or other programs (says unable to change ringtone). The pics will only show in Gallery by displaying through Picasa. These problems also occur even on stock rom before flashing custom rom. Oh, also tried "fix permissions".
I've tried everything I could think of including Odin back to beginning several times. Tried PopRocks rom, no joy. Believe my I've tested and experimented with a lot of stuff but cannot solve the problem.
Any suggestions to help correct finding my pics and music on SDCard would be appreciated.......
Update Pics & Music only on Internal storage
I've determined that pics and music do show up if stored in "Internal" storage.
If I copied all pics & Music to internal storage I can see all.
Is there a way to "move" those files from internal to external storage other than just moving in root explorer??

are you doing a factory reset/clean flash after odin, if not make sure you do so, and also format your sd card using your device instead of your computer
Yes, factory reset/clean flash wiping everything except SD Card many times to try and find the problem. I'll try wiping and formatting the sd card, I have not done that yet.
Thanks!
