[app]Nexus 7 External Flash Picture Viewer & Media Streamer

[dburckh]

I have a nexus 10 that just updated to 4.3,NMI was working fine yesterday,as always, but after the update the cards I was importing yesterday are now not working and coming up as protected.

My wife has just checked on her Nexus 7 and it still works on that so I'm assuming 4.3 has broken it.

I had that happen on my N7G2. To fix it, I opened NMI manually, then I Powered Off the tablet. (Press and Hold Power until you see "Power Off"...) Basically, I followed my own troubleshooting guide.

I tried that a few times yesterday but with no luck, tried it again today, no luck the first time but the second time everything now seems OK.

Thanks for the reply

Yeah, it's kind of weird. I just forced my Nexus 7 3G to 4.3 and had no issues.

It seems OTG is not supported on this device.

Yes... there was a hope... All sites say that it has "usb host" but it hasn't.

The app shows all marked red. On the "OTG detected" it shows a "?".

Sometimes it depends on the carrier. Some will disable it.

FYI: The "?" just means cable detection may not work. It appears on everything but a Nexus 7, Nexus 10 or Xoom. If USB Host is not detected, it will not work, so I should just change it to an "X".

Hummm... I see! I'll make a try after rooting. Need to wait some months because of the warranty. Thanks;

App does not offer to play with MX Player

Hello,

I have purchased Nexus 7 Media Importer, which is great, especially for viewing photos off the sd card. However,here's the situation with videos:

I have installed MX Player on my Nexus 7. When I click on a video file from a file Explorer (I am using Anttek) it prompts me to open the file with the relevant apps, MX Player included. When I click on a video file from Nexus 7 Media Importer it does the same, but MX Player is not among the "relevant" apps. VLC Player is, for some reason Opera browser is also (!) (Opera browser does not appear as option when opening video file with Anttek), but MX Player is not.

Since MX Player is one of the best apps for video viewing and working well with Nexus 7 I find that disappointing. For example, VLC Player is lagging.

Can you help?

Best Regards,
Ari.

The players register the streams they support via Android. I use the default mime type, but I can force one if it makes sense.

What's the video file extension? e.g. XXXX.mp4.

For this particular file type it is .mov (camera produced videos). But I think it was not working with .mp4 either, meaning not showing MX Player.

Is there anything that can be done on my side?

Thanks for the reply.

Somethings not right. I primary test with mp4 and mov files and I just verified both work with MX Player. Try to reset your defaults.

Android Settings -> Apps -> Menu -> Reset app preferences

Thanks for your interest.

No, this didn't solve the problem. I am using the free version of MX Player by the way.

So, again Nexus Media Importer proposes to open a .mov or mp4 file with either Neutron Music Player or Opera browser. After I uninstalled both it said that "It couldn't find any app that could stream the file", and it proposed to create a temporary copy. After the copy was completed it automatically launched MX Player alright, so maybe you are referring to this when saying that your tests worked with MX?

That is puzzling. I'm using free MX Player as well. Make sure you are updated to 6.2.

I've PMed you a sample clip that I know works. Give it a try.

I finally solved the problem. I had to uninstall MX Player and install it again. Then it worked in streaming mode! So, it seems that the video apps need to be installed after Nexus Media Importer. This is perhaps something to consider for future releases.

As a side note, MX Player was not great at streaming my Nikon D5100 .mov files (although it played them alright when copied to the tablet). I discovered that only BSB Player worked flawlessly in streaming them.

Thank you.

Hello, a few months back I had a query re. when selecting songs to play that when I went back to the list, be it artists, albums or whichever, it always started at the top rather than where it had been.

You indicated that this was because you rebuild the list on the fly at each level and previous position is lost but that you should be able to add a prior position to the back function.

I was wondering if you had looked at this and determined that it wasn't possible or was too difficult.

Thanks ...

Funny you should mention that. I was looking at that for the next release. The challenges are:

1. I have to track the prior item
2. The list is generated in chunks and I need to reposition after each chunk is added.
3. If the list is touched, I need to abort the reposition

It should be doable. I'll see if I can work it in.

Nice one, thanks mate.

Nice one, thanks mate.

It will be in the next release. It works on the Photos and Music screens (they are related).
