So my Trigger thread has been hijacked by Avatar lovers. However, some good did come out of it and I think I've figured out the fix thanks to Raymond & Rory. Or I combined their fixes LOL
Here's what I did:
Clear DRM Protected Content Storage cache
Clear Video Player cache
Reboot
Try and play the movie through Video player, press Unlock
Reboot
At this point you should be able to play the movie through Video player
Place attached Avatar.apk in /system/app
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Now I am able to play my avatar movie. Note: it's located on my external SD card
For people setting permissions in Root Explorer, it looks like this:

It's not the movie, it's the shortcut to the movie...
Who started this sh.., I never gave a fly if the stupid movie works on my phone or not. Now, it's bugging me because it won't happen. Birg, I followed the procedures, from this thread and the Trigger thread whatever the guys suggested. Still out of luck, I'm gonna back off because it's driving me mad. Thanks anyways.

I just flashed Trigger last night and got Avatar playing very easily this time. I restored the icon from my files but tapping it would not play the movie. Using Video Player resulted in "Sorry this movie cannot be played".
What I did: I deleted the icon and restored it with Bloater. Then I did menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all tab> scrolled down to Drm Protected Content Storage, DrmProtectedLauncher, and Video Player. I tapped each one and then deleted cache or data for each. Now trying to play Avatar with the Video Player resulted in the message "This content is locked, do you want to unlock it now?" I checked yes and backed out. The movie still would not play so I rebooted. After the SD scanning finished, I tapped the Avatar icon and it played!

Edit: I hate to say this because I'm not sure, but I think after I did all those steps that I did a Titanium Backup restore of the data only for the Drm Protected Content Storage and DrmContentLauncher. It was really late, I am an airhead, and I went to sleep before posting what I did.
Fail at step 6 on Bionix V 1.3.
Same "This movie cannot be played" message.
its only broken after bionix v for some reason for me....what I did was d/l the collectors edition and use handbrake to convert it and formatted my microsd because I got tired of messing with it.

I kinda started this mess. I may have forgotten a last step but I can't remember. I may have restored data for the Video player with Titanium after deleting the cache. My thinking was the flash caused it not to play for some reason, so I deleted the cache. Then I believe I did a Titanium restore of the data because it played before I flashed and restoring that data should help. I did it late at night and went to bed before posting. I'm sure about the part I did in the paragraph above, it's what I'm telling you now that's fuzzy. Sorry I'm such an airhead right now, but I did get mine working fine.
This worked at step 4 for me, thanks!

Can someone confirm the file name in the external_sd/
I put the movie there, was deleted before, but it says not found. Plays fine in video player, guess thats all i need, but now I just want it to work right.
Also, if you guys haven't tried trigger 2.7, you should download it. This has to be the final, it can't get any better than this.

Sorry if this is a hijack... But I take it the Avatar movie will not play in any 2.2.1 rom? I only ask because I just get the " do you wish to unlock?" popup over and over.

I got the same thing. Honestly I think it's just luck whether it acquires the licences or not.
I have no idea whether it will work with 2.2.1. I'll do some testing in the coming weeks though
would this work if i moved the movie file over to the internal sd card? I upgraded to an 8gb external card from a previous phone. It used to work fine before on the internal card, but like previously mentioned, when flashed a rom, it doesn't work. It worked with bionix 1.2.1 though. Idk guess ill keep trying.
Just as an FYI...
Flashed Trigger 2.7 and the FIRST thing I did after waiting 15 minutes and rebooting was to open Files, navigate to the Avatar.dcf file (the actual movie, not the icon or through Video Player) and run the file. The movie opened immediately and began to play without any problem. Then I restored everything, installed the launcher icon (in my post or in Birg's), rebooted.... It now works fine. Hope this can help....

Think about it logically. What I had was a fresh install that wouldn't play the movie. I never do system data backups with Titanium, so that wasn't a factor. So, I deleted the cache/data (whatever was there) for both DRM processes and for the Video player. Then, I restored the system data only (for all three processes) from my last Rom install which was Bionix V 1.2.1 where it was working fine. Once it asked if I wanted to unlock the movie, I choose yes then rebooted when it wouldn't play. Makes sense to me!

Hello im new to this forum and i have come to a little problem maybe somebody in here might be able to help me with
I by mistake erased the avatar movie, and sure enough the icon would say movie not found, so i used pandora data recovery and was able to recover the movie from the Sd Card to my computer, i then transferred the movie to my phone again, and now the movie just wont play when you click on the icon it just sits there doing nothing i did a factory restore, but that didn't work either, any ideas???????
please let me know if something comes to mind to any of you of how i might be able to make it work.
Thank you in advance
The path of the video might be in different location and icon wont work. You dont need the icon to play movie its just shortcut
Just open video player it should show there
Hi, and thanks for your reply, i just did that, but it says your phone does not have any media files, even tho the movie that i was able to retrieve again is 1.4 gigs, and it wasn't overwritten or anything on the sd card, any ideas? should i transfer it to another folder on the sd card or to the phone???????
Thank you.
Even though you did data recovery the file could be damaged, it should play.
I deleted the avatar shortcut and just access it from video player
Go to a local t mobile they can probably put it back on for you
Yea im going to do that this weekend, i went to a couple of tmobile stores but they had no returns, its weird the data doesn't seem corrupted at all.
Thank you for your help.

What do you mean returns? Just ask them if they can transfer it from the demo display model.
Also this file is DRM protected so when you did data recovery something could have happened with DRM... IDK
ok so im guessing is corrupted since i moved it to the phone video folder and media player finds it but it says 00:00 minutes.

How appropriate.
Ok this is weird... Out of nowhere my pictures and wallpaper folders are slowing duplicates of every photo when viewing them in the gallery (3 to be exact). The thing is when I view the folders through a file manager there are no duplicates. If I mount the sd card through the phone, no duplicates. If i pop the card out and put it into a card reader, no duplicates. I have no idea what couldve caused this but its very annoying. Its not the first time this has happened. I tired deleting the thumbnail cache but that did nothing. I'm tired of having to delete and recopy the folders over every thing this happens. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Happened to me on a diff ROM, I deleted the dups then later went back into gallery to look at the pics and they were gone, turned out there wasn't dups, just showed them as dups, I deleted the originals. Wasn't happy.
Anyone?

True story. havent had issues like these since I started using it.
Is there a method of fixing the problem that doesn't involve screwing up your ringtones and notification sounds? I have deleted the following files twice now, and each time I've had to redo all my ringtone and notification settings:
- /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media/externalXXX.db
- /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media
I've heard the same needs to be done for this method:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Media Storage>Clear Data.
I guess this is a good reason to try out Quickpic.

Hi, after doing this and restarting, my Gallery and Music is empty now. I checked the actual folders through file explorer and they are still there, they just do not appear in Gallery and Music any more... It takes about an hours to show up again.
After a few days the duplicates re-appear and I have to go through this process again.... is there anyway to stop the duplicates from recurring?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I had the same problem it used to re appear after clearing including songs for me ..but I forgot what I did .......I might have wiped my cache or changed into different kernel ....but I'm sure I did one of these and till now it din appear
Which cache did you wipe? I'm on a different kernel now and it hasn't been fixed... not sure if it's the kernal causing this issue
Thanks
Hey everybody, having some trouble with my PowerAMP fairly regularly. It starts up and plays music fine, but after a while it always comes through with this error (Too many failed files, playing will stop now.) If I reboot and go back into PowerAMP, it all works fine again. This keeps happening though. I guess I'll try uninstalling it and loading again to see if that fixes it. Was wondering if anyone more software savvy had some other ideas. Maybe something is jacked up with the sd card? But if this was the case wouldn't i run into a similar problem when flipping through pictures and videos?
I"m not sure if Fixing Permisions would help but it could just be an SD card issue or it is running into files that are in the playlist but aren't on the SD Card anymore?
Shouldn't be running into any of those given it forms the available songs by scanning the card. Seems to be something with the sd card. I'll try permissions, I haven't done that in a while anyway (if it aint broke don't fix it! lol) The reload didn't work. I know the songs are there as it gives the name of a file that is supposedly failed, but after the reboot it plays fine. Kind of strange.
Was going to be adding some music, maybe I'll try wiping all the files I have on there and just reload em through my pc.
Let me know if permissions works.. other then that I can't think of anything that would cause the issue.
Alright, went through and wiped out the music folder then reloaded a bunch of songs. Still having the same problem. Fixed permissions too. Seems pretty damn weird to me, anyone else having similar problems?
Tried uninstalling and reloading again and that seams to have fixed things...I'll let you guys know after a day or two of usage. Weird.
Hey im having the same issue i have my music on the internal sd card all the files are wma the app will play like 5-10 songs then says too many failed songs. Then going to look at what folders it is looking at it says that could not find sd card. if i restart the app it'll install native libraries then scan then able to play 5-10 songs again....wierd
Try going to SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>MANAGE APPLICATIONS> then go to the "all" TAB. Scroll down and clear both the MEDIASYNC and MEDIASTORAGE. The problem is due to a double sync where there are empy place holders for songs thus looking like "failed files" reload poweramp and it will scan music folder again and wallah... Fixed!
Like I said before, I just uninstalled, made sure everything was deleted, then redownloaded the app from the market and all is well. Haven't had any problems since.

I tried that and still did the same thing and by the way though the stock music player plays all the songs with no problems
Same for me... Since I have been using the current ROM (FLB_R9), PowerAMP can not play a single file, while the stock player is really happy with any of them!
Go to SETTINGS/Applications/Manage Applications/PowerAMP
Under Storage press "Clear data"..
Rescan music folder again.
Worked for me
Had the same problem. Even though I loved Poweramp, I switched to Mixzing. I even had the paid Poweramp. Haven't had any issues with Mixzing. It has an E Q just like Poweramp,and it plays folders too. Got tired of Poweramp and its foibles. Very happy with free version of Mixzing.

Should point out clearing MEDIASTORAGE will seemingly delete all your ringtones! However a reboot of the phone will restore those ringtones again.
Just a heads up.
This might be the answer

This condition just started on my Galaxy S3 after using PowerAmp for months. I looked for the both the suggested sync files on the S3 but found nothing. No other stock music player on the S3 will play the music either. Your thoughts please.

Hi.
I have the same problem.
Someone could solved it?
Thanks and sorry for my english!
I've been having this issue as well, running all my music from my SDcard, will try a few things and report back. I'm using poweramp because the stock player doesn't seem to work with my card, says songs are unplayable, doesn't show all my music etc. I just tried disabling system media scanner/MTP in advanced folder library options and I'll report back.
My solution
I found this problem after disabling APOLLO in my MAKO ROM PACMAN
As soon as i enabled it, POWERAMP started working. Check if such coincidence works for u too
guys here is how I fix mine : FIX PERMISSION
if still not working try uninstall and install again.
I've recently installed the official OTA HC Update on my BB 16G WiFi Flyer and noticed that the stock Music App (and any other Music App for that matter) doesn't find any of my music off of the MicroSD Card. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, has anyone found a fix?

Thanks. I did reboot and wait to no avail. In addition, I removed and re-inserted the card. I also copied my music files to the internal storage but still nothing. When the stock music app searches for files, I get a forced close message: "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly".
I also found the the Gallary App doesn't see any photos stored on the card but when I take new photos with the camera, they do show up. This is strange. Maybe I will format the microSD card and copy the files over again via a USB connection to the Flyer.

Well, I am relatively sure the problem is with HTC's Wifi OTA HC Upgrade. I rolled back to GB and low-and-behold, my sd card music is there as are my photos and videos. I decided to try one more time and ran the OTA Update again...same story, Music and Gallery doesn't find any of my files.
So, one more time...back to GB and that is where I'll stay for now.
try installing a different player ... or leave ur music app running in backgroung for some time hope this might work.... if ur sd is class 4 or less it takes time to find music

PowerAmp does work but there is still the photo and video issue. I let the stock Music app run overnight and it still doesn't work. I also tried 3 different SD cards (class 4, 6 and 10)...no luck. Already back to GB where everything works as it should.

Sorry for the noob question, but the Flyer is my first Android device. Is a roll back only accomplished with a full on ROM flash and subsequent reinstall of apps, etc? Or are you somehow doing an in place roll back similar to the OTA in place upgrades?

It is a full ROM flash returning to GB with S-on.
Official HC on Flyer does't find music on SD Card
Hi,
Try to clear the cache of the Music App. and the Gallery. At least this worked for me, within no time all my files showed up again
Another option you might try is to use ES File Explorer or a similar program. Go to the folders where your pictures and the music are, and create into this folder a new one. Don't put any files in this folder! Just rename the created folder in .nomedia and reboot with fastbootmode ( in the energy settings) disabled.
I had similar problems once with an Archos 70 Internettablet, and this was the solution that worked for me.....

I really appreciate the last two suggestions. I just don't think I want to go through getting all my apps and data back if I need to roll back again. Maybe someone else that has gone through with the OTA update and has the same problem can try these out.
There is need to roll back or anything like that to use the last 2 options. Just create an empty folder, named .nomedia in the folders where the files are that don't show up in your mediaplayers.You can do this using ES File Explorer ( for free in the Market) or you can hook up your Flyer to your PC, and create the .nomedia files there. Then just reboot...
i'm having sporadic notification with this message "unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped".
This on a fresh install of alpha0, wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik. all patches/fix, gapps, gapps fix provided by cm dev are applied. This never happened on alpha 3.5.
is anyone having the same issue? whats the fix, if any?

let me guess that you have lots files either your download folder and or music/video, clear out your downloads along clearing media storage
I haven't been having it actually close but I have been having the Watchdog app report that process is using high cpu. I read an another site that going to Apps > All Apps > Media Storage and then clear any app cache or data.
It seems to have helped me so it's worth a shot to try that before doing anything more drastic.
Sup guys. Yea I had only 2gig of space left on the sdcard. I have about 1500 songs and gameloft data on it. I have no idea how much space data for webos took.
I uninstalled android, went to webos and formatted the sdcard. Reinstalled android. I have not copied my mp3 collection and games data back yet. But so far no more problems and a lot less ICS reboots. I'll copy over the games data files and music soon. I'll find out if it starts to go nuts again.
I am having the same issuer on CM9 A0.5. However, in my app manager I am having problems clearing data and cache...
It's annoying, but not a dealbreaker.
i keep getting this error as well. i've cleared the cache and i still get it, but a lot less frequently.
additionally, i'm only using 17gb (seems high, but w/e).
This might not apply to you, but I started having that same issue when I changed the dpi on the lcd from 160 to 132. When I changed it back to 160 I stopped having the media process force close on me.

interesting. i changed it to 145 (? i'll have to look when i get home to confirm).
i will say that my gf's TP is also set the same and she doesn't have those errors. however, she probably is using a lot less storage than i am.
I'm not quite sure its a storage issue. Everything was fine the past 48hrs. I didn't install anything and kept my sdcard usage under 10gig. I have a 32gig tp. And today it just started giving me the message again.
I want to test something. I'm using nova as my default home launcher. I have it packed with Widgets. I loaded the default cm9 home launcher with no Widgets. It hasent giving me that message since then. And my reboot/crash has decreased dramatically. If anyone cares to try it, maybe we might get to the bottom of this problem.
edit: damnit. spoke to soon. i change to animated wallpaper and it rebooted.

I'm keep getting same error after clear the storage.
I had this problem with .5. In settings, apps, I cleared data and force stopped download manager and media storage. That was two days ago, all good since.
remember that android now indexes the download folder apart from music video and amoung other folders, either you have a file android is parsing incorrectly or the indexing system hits a limit of how many files it can index...

Oh my god, you're so RIGHT !
That's it !
Got to clean data on media storage and downloads (with Titanium backup, it didn't wiped my downloads with the integrated android apps manager)
Thanks
I have the same problem. I'm running the latest nightly release of CM11.
It happens to me mostly when i use the camera or whatsapp.
I've barely got 10 mp3's in my media folder and the download folder is empty.
I force stopped download manager and media but it didn't help.
