Vital Player Internal /media/

Hi,
I'm currently using mobo player wich can see my /media/ folder in internal memory.
I would give a chance to Vital Player (seems to have been improved since latest releases), but i can't navigate to /media/ folder.
Using ES File Explorer i can go through then play the video with Vital.
Can i mount the /media/ as fake second sd card to avoid such problem with app that can't navigate to internal memory?

Can´t use my 16gb external memory !

I have a 16gb external mem in my phone, but if i put mp3 files on it the phone doesn´t find them, only on internal mem ?? I have format the card in program/setup/external mem and i get 14,9 gb free but how can i make it work ??

Sometime when u booted up, your external card wasn't mounted. I can't find a solution other then performing a reboot.
Check under Settings -> SD card & phone storage, if your external card is available or unavailable.
It´s available 14,83 GB free ! Should the music files stores under music folder or just under external mem ? Must i transfer the files with LG suite IV or just drag/drop to external mem ?

Hmm it shouldn't matter where actually but I don't use Stock Music app so cannot confirm. I use PowerAMP. - my music files in ext sdcard.
If I remember correctly, I believe the stock music player only looks in the SD/media folder and all subfolders contained within. Can you locate the files using a file explorer program to verify they transfered correctly?
I think it doesn't matter which folder it is in. I have all my songs in a folder which I named "My Songs". And there's some more nested folders further down. They all gets recognised without any intervention from me. But the first scan took quite some time. Subsequent scans take only a couple of seconds.
Two ways media scanner will skip your folders.......
1. When your files in folder with folder name starting with "."
example, /.music <----- this folder will be skipped from scanning
2. When you have a ".nomedia" file inside a folder
I have solved it, thanks ! I am a noob, find out that _externalSD is not the real externalSD it is still on the phone, at last i find the 16gb external memory !!

Video files not recognized after flashing CM7

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.

[Q] Access External SD Card WITHOUT ROOT

I tried to copy around 2GB of files from my internal Memory to the External SD Card and a dialogue box appeared saying I need to root and use SDcard Fix to be able to move files using the file manager[Solid Explorer]
Suddenly I regret buying this phone because why would I need to unlock bootloader and root just to be able to move files from Internal Memory to External sdcard?:crying:
I don't have such problem accessing (copy move delete) sd card. I'm using X-plore file manager
while some apps like Nexus otg file manager have problem copying files to sd card, don't know why
Try ES File Explorer. No problems here with no root.

What folder on SD should music be loaded into?
Never mind.
I made a folder "Music" on the SD card, put the files there, and it works fine.
