No Thumbnails in Gallery for Videos

New to the forum, THX for the welcome......New owner of a Captivate, and so far everything is going smoothly except for one little problem. When I transferred pics and videos to my phone storage the thumbnails for the pics worked, but some of the thumbnails for the videos, didn't show up. Out of 75 videos only 6 shows a thumbnail, all of the clips are mp4. I recently retired a 4 month old Backflip when I saw the Captivate, and this problem was not present on it, it was also running the update to 2.1 Eclair. I have tried to d/l new vids to see if it was a transfer from pc issue, and put in an SD card and transferred the pics and vids to it, and I get the same thing....in the gallery under rn-downloads there is 6 thumbs and the rest are black. I have Realplayer installed, but have uninstalled it, and used the stock video player to see if that was the issue.....same thing. The phone is not rooted YET. Is this a Samsung issue being that I was haven't this problem on the Motorola Backflip. Hopefully someone out there knows an easy fix.
Please help!!!!
Thx in advance

I have the same problem. I tried everything removing my SD card reinstalled it, ran the media scanner countless times. Copyed all files onto the phone from the SD card. I downloaded an apparently called "just pictures" it does the same thing as the gallery also allows u to Have photobucket and fb pic accounts on it. Really streamlines Everything. Is a quick fix for this stupid gallery issuse.

My bad I just noticed Your only having that problem With videos is it just that or pictures as well? Unfortunately that app I mentioned only handles pictures but I'm sure there are other That handle vidoes or just use the video player to browse cause the gallery cannot serve that purpose.

Yea just noticed an *.avi movie (horrid stuff Universal Soldier Ressurected) isn't showing up in the Gallery. Dunno when it stopped working.
But I have been using My Files or ES File Explorer whenever I wanted to watch something on my phone.... so haven't been paying attention.

I will do the same thing I Just wanted / needed something to be able to watch picture slide shows on. So that was taken care of. Good Thing is there is a lot of options to replace the gallery in the first place.

i am running stock right now i whent back because i need to right now but will go back to cm9 soon if i get it worked out

Hi,
If you just want the apk and are still on stock, try using Titanium Backup to backup it or use a File Manager to get to the apk and copy it to the sdcard.
Look in /system/app/ for something called Blur.Gallery.apk for Moto's pic app and CMP...something for Moto's Music player. (CMP=Connected Music Player)
I'm doubtful these would even work under ICS.. so maybe try other apps..
Like DoubleYouPee said, QuickPic is pretty good.
For music, try CM9's player (I think the Droid3 ROM comes with Google's ICS music player by default..) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450354

Ok, So I just opened a nandroid of my last stock and here are the files I have..
I haven't tested anything so use at your own risk and backup your stuff.
Also take a look at TuneIn if you're interested in local FM broadcasts over WiFi/3G, I use it a lot lately..

My google music works fine. And does it really take longer to uninstall/reinstall then it does to make a thread and wait for a reply? Or does this happen often and you have to uninstall/reinstall? Cause like I said, Google Music has no problems for me. However, I'm using a slightly older version (4.1.512) that's was modded to be transparent - don't know if the newest version might have issues?

I'm using 4.1.513 with no issues.

Mine works fine,but i added my own music and only play music at home on wifi normally.Never had any problems with it not showing.

I would try uploading my local music to google music.You can them make your google music available offline as well.

Do you have a custom ROM? Did this problem start with an upgrade such as ICS? I have ICS on a stock, unrooted Vivid. The Google Music app is 4.1.513. As soon as I started it, it found all my local music on the SD card as well as albums on my internal storage I had recently purchased and downloaded from Google. I don't mess with streaming music, so if that is what you're doing, maybe someone else can help you.

Same sd card? If so try reformatting it (backup important stuff, format card, replace important stuff)

This happens to me, too. The easier workaround than uninstall/reinstall is to locate the Google Play Music app under Settings/Apps and clear data.
Then use the Google Music app and go through the usual stuff. Your local music files will be there when you're done.
I know it's not a fix, but it's a better workaround than reinstalling the app.

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..

I just formatted sdcard and everything is in order Ty for the help!

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

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.

This should go in the Q&A thread and I hope the respective moderator does shift it there.
Anyhow, I'm facing the same problem you're. Whenever I access the library part of the app, it crashes. It also happened with the old mobile I had. So I don't think it's device specific.

Try the new Google Play Music..from Nexus 6..with material interface.
It should work..i think

No there is no problem present in other music players..i am using rocket player premium and facing no problem..but my friends are also using the same handset without the data enabled still they can play their music files through play music..is there a problem with my handset?

Lol no! You don't have any problems with your handset. It's just that probably the playstore is buggy. Don't worry about, just use another player for now. I recommend poweramp
