Were they all the same type (i.e. MP3, WMA (Media Player), M4A (iTunes), etc.)? Depending on the audio player you have, and whether or not your files have DRM protection, you may not be able to play them all.

I have a Synology 207+ and need a music program on my TyTN II, that are able to access the share folder on my Synology and play the music. I have S2P which is great so I'm looking for a program like that.
As it is a NAS, I don't think it has streaming capabilities. You might want to use one of the following programs/plugins:

HTC Network plugin (attached)
...
Use these programs to map the network drive which contains your music. This way you can browse to your music and play it using WMP (I think).
Good luck...
I already map my Synology drive with PPC total commander, so is these plugin then nessesary? I have my videofiles working with TCPMP already, it's just the music files that are missing.
if it only show video and not audio in the same dir mounted then it sounds like the audio is not in a format that TCPMP or whatever audio program can use
p.s. streaming is not the same thing as having access to files over a network
streaming is not realated with files on the clients end at all
Okay, let me elaborate. You're right I don't want to stream. I want access to the music folder on my synology and play it from there. I have it working with videofiles in TCPMP. They are two separate folders.
i'd asume you do it the same way
as a test you could try placing a single music file in the video dir and check if it shows up
Since you were able to find the video files, it should be no problem finding the audio files.
TCPMP doesn't show files with extensions it doesn't support. That seems to be your problem. Although it would have to be a really rare extension, giving the wide support of formats by TCPMP.
Can you see your music files when you browse to the folder using file explorer on your Kaiser?
PS: Just wondering: how have you managed to map a network drive using Total Commander? I didn't know the option existed (as far as I know, the option does not exist)
Hi,
i'm having a issue with Media Scanner and thanks to that with nearly all media players on Android.
Let me explain .
I don't have my music on Galaxy Tab, i have a share on network, mounted via CIFS to /mnt/sdcard/music. With apps like MortPlayer or via explorer utils i can see the contents of this folder.
Unfortunately this folder is not indexed by Media Scanner, as even if i use a SD rescan util (which forces the Media Scanner to start scanning), none of the files show up in the standard music player. On other side, if i manually copy the files to internal memory via USB, then after USB disconnect the Media Scanner runs and finds all new files - except those from those from the share.
Now, the question is if this is some sort of Media Scanner limitation (like if it ignores any mounts) or do i have some configuration issue ?
Of course i could use MortPlayer, but i don't really like using this kind of player if could have a library instead.

Have you find solution? I'm having same problem. Tried to google, but no luck.
No solution unfortunately. It looks like a limitation of the Android media scanner.
Hi,
iam using the standard Player called "musik" on my galaxy tab.
I have mounted a CIFS on /mnt/sdcard/media/subfolders
There are 3 folders which contain mp3 files. Others Videos...
One week ago i have noticed that the Media Scanner has detected the content from only one folder full of mp3s. I thougt that it is impossible that the standard player detects files from cifs. But it has detected the media. I dont now why. The other two folders with mp3-mixes are not detected.
SpenZerX
tired of fighting with cifs.ko mounts cifsloader and different kind of kernels and other ***** stuffs i found a much simple way to watch my videos from the pc (without having to download them)
just install easyphp on your pc http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/
then open your stock browser on your xoom and point to the pc IP
if u have moboplayer installed (or i suppose any other video player) on your xoom, the video just starts to play.
1. u should put your videos in the right directory on your pc: C:\Program Files (x86)\VLCShares\www for the 64bit windows 7 and C:\Program Files\VLCShares\www for the 32bit
AND/OR
2. u can add as many alias directories pointing the real directories in where u store your movies: example C:\Users\Administrator\Videos how?
there is a bug in the administration page of the easyphp about creation of alias directories.
u must open the apache configuration file (right click, configuration, apache) and at the end of the txt file add, for example
Alias /video "C:\Users\Administrator\Videos"
<Directory "C:\Users\Administrator\Videos">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
restart the server and point your xoom broswer to IP/video
(IP is the ip number of your windows machine)
if your wifi is fast then the movie goes fast and the quality is perfect (100 times better than using vlc direct pro)
i tried also using this system with firefox beta on the xoom but the broswer try to download the file instead of opening the player...so...use the stock browser.
ciao
What configuration needs to be done to easyphp? Any windows firewall exceptions need to be made? Router configuration changes needed?
Installing easyphp and connecting to my computer's ip gives me a webpage not available error message in the stock browser.
Where does the vlcshares directory come from? Do you have to create it? It doesn't exist after installing easyphp.
Could you expand on the setup of this?

sorry i corrected the link above.
u must install the vlc shares version of easyphp (http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/downloads/detail?name=vlc-shares_0.5.4_installer.exe), then it creates the vlcshares directory itself on your pc. (C:\Program Files (x86)\VLCShares)
i didnt have to touch any router configuration or firewall permission.
its just a kind of hhtp server under port 80, so, if u dont have another http server running on same port u dont have to change nothing on your pc or router.
Very cool, works really nice!
One thing I noticed.
Moboplayer does not handle spaces in filenames/directories. If there is a space in a filename or if a video file is in a directory that has a space in the directory name, Moboplayer will not be able to play the file.
Rockplayer/Rockplayer lite does handle spaces in filenames properly.
i have the same page not available on my xoom, i installed everything correctly on my laptop and added an alias with a movies folder then whenever i try to access my ip address from the xoom or the ip/folder name i get page not available
Hey hey,
Just wanted to tell you guys that i've been streaming videos from my pc to my xoom with es file explorer and mx video player + codecs. No need for extra software on your pc, just share your movie folder on your pc and connect with es file explorer to the pc, select movie and play with you favorite player
Hope this helps
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA App
but still this wouldn't play regular avi files that are not supported by xoom right ?
Hmm
For me, every single AVI file worked for now.
Xoom can't play avi with stock video player, but MX Video Player and Mobo Player are able to handle avi files.

Are you sure, that u installed the right codec pack, the one for the Tegra 2?
Another suggestion would be if it only happens over Network or does you MX Player also close when you try to play files stored on your tablet?
Greets
yeah i installed the ARM 7 codecs and yeah it does this with files even on xoom, only files worked when it was mkv files
Hi everyone,
Has anyone had any issues when trying to copy a .mp4 file onto their PC and playing it back?
I keep getting a Windows error message saying file type unsupported.
This is after a night of trying to get them to play on my partners naff PC, it was greenscreening all the videos...
I'm going to try to copy them onto my HDD instead of playing them through the phone > USB > PC.

Erm, have you tried VLC Player? It should play those files just fine. WMP is just a piece of sh*t...

Ofcourse... VLC was the first program I tried to run the videos in, then I moved onto a few other programs.
Tried them on my laptop and they are running fine. I think it's just my partners laptop, it's [email protected]

Bump..! Anyone ?
In my opinion, the best way to access files of your PC is to share your folders on the PC and mount them on your phone through CIFS. This is the most natural way, just like you'd do it between PCs.
CifsManager makes this pretty easy. You just need to enter the path to your PC share, user name and password, and where you what the share to be mounted on your phone's file system. Then you can mount and unmount the share with a singe click, and access all the files from the PC just if they were local files.
Note: The phone needs to be rooted though. And there is a bug in android kernel 3.4.0, which makes it hard to get CIFS working. ("Invalid argument" error, even if you enter everything correctly). Let us know if you run into that problem.
