Computer doesn't see movie stored in Download folder - Nexus 7 General

For some reason my computer can't see the MKV movie stored in the Download folder of my Nexus 7. I've used 2 different file managers which clearly show that the file is actually there, and I've played it numerous times. Why the movie doesn't show up on my computer is beyond me.

What movie is it???
How did the movie get there???

Open folder options, select show system files and apply.
If this method makes ur pc see files then u need to download attribute changer and change attribute of file from system to non system.
U have connected ur nexus to some virus infected pc and it changed its folder options.

restart the tablet.
Its will be there.
I am not sure the accurate term for it. But the way how android these days works.
Its has to update the index for it to show up. and a lot of times... it does not...
sometimes you see duplicated files from a computer when there is only one.
Restart will re-index it.

[Q] Problems with the stock gallery and music player

I just recently started having issues with my gallery and music player.
For the Gallery, I now only see one folder (whereas previously I used to see a bunch of folders) and that folder is full of the same 1 or 2 pictures repeated many times.
For the Music player, I can't see any of my songs anymore.
Not sure when it started, but the first time I noticed it was when I installed FunnyWarp from the market. I've have no idea if the problem is related to FunnyWarp at all... just speculation.
For both the Music Player and Gallery:
I've tried clearing the cache => doesn't work.
I've tried deleting all the files in /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache => doesn't work.
I've tried using sdrescan from the market => doesn't work.
Any ideas before I restore an older back-up (which I don't really feel like doing)...
Thanks.
I've had some success doing this before:
1 - place a period in front of all your media folder names ie: DCIM => .DCIM
2 - open gallery and delete all files, open media player and delete all files
3 - remove period from folder names, and reboot
You may want to back up your media first...

I'll give it a shot in a couple of hours when I get a chance to back up my photos, thanks. Sounds good for the gallery, but for the music player, I don't see any songs in it, so what am I supposed to delete?
Thats a good question - I thought there was an option to clear the database, but it looks like I may be wrong... Maybe see if a different media player will let you reset the db?

Constant "Video maker" crash.

Hello, I'm having issues with the video maker that came with the note.
Once I open the app and select the theme and as soon as all the videos starts to load up video maker crashes and goes back to create new project screen :/
I was wondering if anybody else is having this issue and knew how to fix the problem?

Are you using a Rooted Device? What Firmware are you on? Do you have CWM Recovery?
If so then try wiping cache and Dalvik cache from the CWM Recovery menu and see if that helps.
You can also go to settings> applications> manage applications> all> and find the app and then clear the app data, etc and see if that helps as well.
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently on everything stock. Since I just got this phone and new to android platform I haven't really messed with rooting etc.
I tried clearing data like you recommended but it didn't help still crashing at the "add media" screen. Idk why...
Update:
I guess video maker doesn't like importing videos/pictures from sdcard... After transferring videos and pictures to phone it's working fine now. Is this problem normal? Or just me? Having 2gbs of pictures and videos too much? :/

Some of the files on your list may corrupted. Did you check with other set of files? If newer set of files didn't work.. try factory reset if still didn't work try hard reset, even if it's not working! Rooting is the best option. After that you can install a good working video editor from someone whose app is working good or you can even flash a new rom.

Yeah I copied the same pic/vids files from sdcard to the phone and video maker works perfect so files aren't corrupted, at least I don't think? App just refuses to use the media files from sdcard for some reason I tried factory reset no changes.
Must be something in sdcard cause unless unmounted the sdcard I cant get video maker to work.

That's it... You found the culprit.. Try with other sd card..

Ok after testing what was causing this problem, I finally narrowed it down to "music" folder.
I have about 1000 mp3 on sdcard and seems like loading that many songs in video maker is crashing the app.
Anyone who has 1000+ mp3s try to load up video maker see if it crashes on you?

That was quite informative though couldn't try.
So it is a cache issue that can be solved by Samsung.
Yeah hope so... I wish I can choose which folder to scan and exclude like quickpic.

I have some 3000+ songs on my SD card and Video Maker crashes on me every time, no matter if I use a video on SD card or internal memory. I have moved the video around to see if that would help, but it continues cashing.
I'm not sure I understand what the solution is from the posts above.
a workaround..
Mine does this too, stock ICS. My SD card has lots of videos recorded by my htc desire, some files are corrupt. All other gallery apps simply ignore those files, video maker crashes.
Find the videos, music and pictures you want to use on the sd card, and copy them to internal sd card. Now go to settings->storage and select unmount sd card. Open video maker, and select media. On mine, it would still crash unless I killed by task manager, and re-opened. Then it worked, and export movie would fail. 2nd time it worked.
Mount SD card when finished.

[Q] Transfer mkv files to note?

Hi, I just got my note and when I copy a .mkv file to it, windows explorer crashes. Same thing happens when I try to transfer to micro sd card. Any way around this except having to rename .mkv to .mkvv?
Edit: Video showing problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU14QXjGqTQ
I transfer mkv files all the time.. never had any problems. Have you tried using Samsung Kies?

Tried transfering a 1gb mkv file now with kies but it automatically converts the file to mp4 and takes forever to transfer. Any way to just transfer a mkv file to the note?
Anyone know?
I transfer.mkv files all the time. Never had an issue.
Try android commander if doing a power cycle on your computer doesn't fix it.

How large is the file? You might be going over the 4 GB max file size of FAT32?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Nope if you past the 4GB max filesize of FAT Windows will tell you that it doesn't allow you to transfer. I have a feeling your computer is too slow to buffer large video files. How's your com specs?

Yeah the files are 1-2gb. I have a quad core cpu at 4.6ghz and 6970 crossfireX, so shouldn't be a problem. I made a video showing what happens here:
Might have to watch in 720p to see the letters.

I can transfer .avi and other file formats fine, but mkv just doesnt work for me.
A guess...I reckon it might be due to MTP and the WMP <-> Explorer handler not working for mkv files, i.e. it tries to convert/handle the file and cannot so dies.
Are you on GB? If so, use USB mass transfer mode instead. The speed difference kicks ass.

It worked fine to transfer mkv files using my laptop now, so its my desktop that's the problem. I installed K-Lite Codec Pack 8.7.8, but still explorer crashes. I also tried different usb ports. I use windows 7 on my desktop and laptop, so weird that I have this problem only on desktop.
Edit: Did a reinstall of windows 7 and that fixed it. Thanks for all the help guys! Really appriciate it.

I installed Android Commander and I did all the Phone and Computer Requirements:
I can start Android Commander, it sees my Galaxy Note Rocket ROM ICS LPY v4 + Speedmod kernel, but I have no root acces. What am I doing wrong?
False external SD-card
For months I've tried to transfer mkv-files (<4gb) to my external card.
I tried to watch mkv-files (>4gb) via USB-stick (NTFS formatted) via OTG using [root] Ntfs Mounter-app. No problem watching it.
I tested my sd-card, it has a storage of 4GB...scammed! Better scammed than a not 100% working Galaxy Note

Cant sync movie to my LG optimus 4X

Hi XDA forums,
Ive bought my LG for quite some time now and I've finally stopped worrying about battery life and started to want to watch movies on my device.
However this all came down crashing onto me when I tried to transfer a movie file (705mb) onto my phone.
I get this specific message when I try View attachment 2143251
The same thing happens when i use PC suite, View attachment 2143252
It seems like it doesn't matter what file it is, I've split the file in 2, 375Mb and 325mb and transfered that way but still no use.
In the past i have however successfully transfer photos and videos OUT of my phone onto my computer to free up space on the phone.
I have no sd card, using internal memory 16gb.
I am with Wind.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where do I drag and drop my music?

Just got my Nexus 6 yesterday.
Got it all set up. I usually keep all my music on a micro SD card.
So I was trying to figure out where to pull it but cant seem to find a music folder. I have google searched this and havent come up with anything.
Thanks in advance.
I use explorer by speed software from the play store.... shows you root and storage.. Music folder should be under storage

There are many folders in the storage folder, but all are appear to be empty, and none are labled music.
Can I create a new folder named music and drop the mp3's in it?

That's exactly what you do. It doesn't matter what folder it's under. As long as it's on your phone it'll find the files.
