I have some mp4 movie files, but I don't know where to place em
Should I place em in the usbstorage folder or the dcim/camera folder?

Doesn't matter....you put them anywhere, the phone is smart to pick those automatically. For better file management, I'd advise you to create a Video folder and have those placed under it.

Just put them anywhere in the sdcard or external_sd folders and media scanner will pick it up.

This. I have mine in a folder on the internal SD under video.
But does the default video player in the phone lists the videos after media scanning is complete?
Apparently mine doesn't, unless I put them in the dcim/camera folder. It will then be listed along with all the videos I have shot

Guys,
Having now got my Samsung TV set up wirelessly I thought I would try AllShare on the SGSII and DLNA a few video files across.
However, what I am finding is AllShare does not seek out all movie files stored on either the internal SD or External_SD. It lists video's you have created using the default camera App.
Has anyone found a way to get AllShare to display movies you have transferred onto the SGSII?
Edited:
Sorted - See Post 7.
I seriously can not believe no one is interested in finding out why we can not display all video/photo and audio files.
I tried this on my Tab and sure enough Allshare does display other video files not stored in the camera folder, so it begs the question why is it the SGSII does not allow you to display them?
If this is correct and again I fail to see it's accuracy that would mean you can not show a movie you have on your external_sd card via Allshare. That sounds utterly preposterous.
Either I am missing something so simple it is eluding me or there is a problem with Allshare's ability in searching for and displaying all supported file's.
I don't want this topic to die without first a fight but if no one replies it will fold away in the depth's of xda-devs.
The Allshare apps on my SGSII has no problems listing videos not inside DCIM.
I've installed the Allshare app on my HTPC (Win7). Using the app on teh SGSII I'm able to playback videos in folder /sdcard/Movies (that's the internal card, don't have an external card to test with)

Thanks for replying, appreciated.
Well I am pleased to hear you can display and play other video media, this is how it should be.
Now if I can get someone to test the external sd as well then I will know if I have a problem with my Allshare.
Meanwhile I will try copying a few video's to the internal sd/movies folder and see if Allshare can pick them up. If so then it may be that Allshare does not list files on the external sd.
Weird as the Tab does.
Received my SD card today and moved the videos folder over from internal to external card. Allshare still shows the videos in the My Device tab > Videos view

Can you provide an accurate naming and directory of exactly where on the external_sd card they are stored please.
Maybe it's because I have mine buried too deep in the card for Allshare to pick them up.
As in say ~ sdcard/external_sd/movies/
/external_sd/Video/
In the Video folder I have mkvs and avi which I copied over.
Allshare could see them in KDD and now KE2 firmware. Didn't test with other firmwares.

That worked a treat.... Thanks, sorted.
What did you have to do, rename the Movies folder to Video?
No... When I tried that it still didn't display anything.
However when I moved the Movies folder to the root it then listed the files.
So weird.... naming the folder to Video's in the root displays nothing
Having the folder name Movies not in the root displays nothing.
.. but having the folder name Movies in the root works.
Talk about confusing.....
My next issue is with Music.
Any music in a folder named Music either in the root on the external_sd or directly in sdcard/ does not display anything inside that folder.
Where do you have your music stored and under what name?
Music is stored in /sdcard/Music/Artist/Album/track.mp3 and Allshare can see it all no problem.
I sync my music using WMP12 and it creates the Music folder and all subfolders. Works manually too.

Weird..... that is where I stored my folder named Music but Allshare finds nothing.
I'll have a closer look later... Just about to go back into theatre for this mornings Ops.
EDITED:
Well... I found the time in the end and what a surprise it is...
If I place the music where you did in sdcard/music/ Allshare does not display it.
But.. if I place it in sdcard/media/ the music files are then picked up?
Feel dumb cause I don't know this by now.... But is there any way to choose what folder my music plays out of? Because every time I listen to music it plays every sound there is on my card: music, ringtones, text tones, etc. And its incredibly annoying.

Folder(s)
Perhaps organize the sounds, music, etc into separate folders on your SD card.
Music player should find the mp3's. This method works for me.
You can add a .nomedia file or search Play for a .nomedia manager.
I made a folder called music on sd card, its all that plays

Read over this thread, it'll take care of your problems:

The best thing to do is to connect to a computer and start organizing folders and then add .nomedia to the folders.
I am using Wifi Explorer (Market Link) to edit my SD Card from my computer.
I would like to place some videos (.mp4) on to my HTC Sensation and was wondering what folder to place them in?
Thanks!
It doesn't matter. However, the most common place would be Video (/sdcard/Video).

Ok thanks but what directory would make it most accessible for watching movies?
Just the one that would show in the default app.
As I said, /sdcard/Video (the default app can see the videos in any directory, BTW).

I have same problem with stock mp3 player, it can't play mp3 from my external sdcard.
Rescan your files by starting media scanner again.

Above fails TRY MP3 in Media folder Video in Video folder on EXT SD card .

It didn't help for me, in fact on the same album some tracks are recognized as mp3 and some not... perhaps file corruption I'll dig in.

I have the same exact problem. I temporary use quickpic, but the stock gallery is so much better. If I want to set the live wallpaper with my pics, i can't use it because it doesn't see the pics..

Same issue
Seems I'm having the exact same issue on XXDLJ4.
But for me it doesn't even matter where i put them, I've got a folder with ~520 songs and stock player only shows ~300.
I tried alot of things:
- Placing media on internal/external storage.
- Clearing Media Storage cache
- Reuploading the entire folder from my pc
- RescanMedia root (disabled mediascanner)
- Dividing the music into smaller bits/folders
- Wiping and reflashing multiple times
- Cm10 nigtly has the same issue for me
So far nothing has worked.. The only workaround so far is using 3rd party apps..
Wipe EXT SD card format via phone .
Make folders copy one file to folder if it is now seen copy the rest .

Just tried it out (forgot to mention I already tried reformatting).
But still no consistent pickup from the mediascanner.
Tried the copy-back with a folder with 33 mp3's first, only 4 showed (Both on Sammy and CM10).
Then tried it with a folder with 41 pictures, only 12 showed on Sammy and ~20 on CM10.
Any more suggestions?

Sorry, didnt have time to read the whole thread, have you tried creating a folder on the route of the SD card called "MUSIC", that usally works.
Also check there isnt a file called "nomedia" in the route of the SD too.
plus - after you reformat just put the MUSIC on first before you copy everything else back, let it scan and then copy your other Folders back, this can also help.
any updates from the OP?
Yeah I did both.
Reformatting didn't solve anything. Same songs showed as before after recopy.
But while playing around with another rom (CM) i discovered something..
Seems that half my music is faulty mp3 files. Searched about the issue with Tubemate, and seems as it's common issue with some players. (Change in Sammy music app in JB maybe?)
It doenst convert to mp3 but saves the audio part to mp3. Must have been a bug in an older Tubemate version. Cause when i redownload the faulty song with the latest version it immediatly shows in the Sammy Music app.
When i try playing them on CM the faulty mp3's just stay at 0:00. So i went and tried a few mp3 checkers, afraid they report the same nr of correct/uncorrect as my Sammy music app shows.

To follow up, i recently switched to a s4 and the problem persist (inserted old sdcard).
Must be the faulty mp3 story.

Where are you getting these bin files? The format is MP4 when recording with the QX10 and QX100. Double check your sd card again.
