Anyone have this problem? Its a 3.82 gb MKV and windows explorer crashes everytime
I'm having the same problem. The only way I could get around it was to first transfer the MKVs to a MicroSD card and then to the TP.

Also tried copying from my usb HD to my tablet with same result
I can copy small files fine....

Have you tried a different file manager, such as 7zip?

I'm copying from my desktop to my tablet using windows explorer
I read somewhere in this forum where it was a MTP limitation. Any thing over 2GB causes it to puke.
I, too, have had the problem. I just popped in a micro sd and transferred it to that.
If I recall, the MTP partition was FAT32 and not NTFS. Could be wrong on that.

Make sure the sd card is formatted in NTFS and not the default FAT32. I had to reformat mine. FAT32 will not handle 2+ gig filesizes.
put the SD card in my blackberry and tried copying it in there and had the same issue this is driving me nuts
how can i format my sd card to ntfs while in my tab?
Maybe AirDroid could work? I don't have access to any mkv files so I can't test it out. https://market.android.com/details?...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.

I have the same problem and tried hours doing that. I don't think this is to do with the file size and I could easily transfer 4G .avi file. I am not sure how to use 7Zip explorer as it does not show MTP drive. I do not have SD card yet. Any help?
Hello. I have the same problem with my prime and also samsug galaxy s 2. The quickest solution for that - delate extension .mkv in windows and copy to your prime. It works for me.

I don't think it's an issue with your prime but with explorer. On some of my computers in the house (and not others), opening folders with mkv files in them causes explorer to crash (only on external media though).
Try copying it via the command prompt and see what happens lol (just being curious here)
And I agree with ^^ about deleting the mkv extension. that should do it!
Also try changing any visible explorer windows to icon or list view rather than thumbnail view. It may be crashing when trying to preview the mkv video. Additionally, try disabling realtime antivirus.

Experienced same problem with large MKVs on Win7 64-bit. I have dual boot system on my PC. So I started Vista 32-bit, and there were no problem copying at all.
Try a different OS.
Seems to be more of a problem with the codecs on the PC rather than the transformer prime. Try uninstalling all the third party codecs and try again. It happens sometimes when the system tries to create a thumbnail for the video, for example with coreavc.

Sony Tablet S update to 3.2 !!!!
I have been using my Sony Tablet S for a couple of days and it's awesome. I got on it this morning and a 3.2 system upgrade notification popped up! I'm now running on 3.2!!! I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area.
Root?
Has anyone found a way to root it?
Awesome, you must be joking!
Awesome - you are surely joking.
1) DLNA 'throw' is incompatible with most devices (including PS3, LOL)
2) The memory card only works as a 'transfer' device - you can not accessit directly from inside an app (epic fail for me and my 32Gb of music on an SD card, that will not fit in my 16Gb Tablet S, and shouldn't need to)
3) adb for android development is not supported and so I can't even test my apps on the thing
Most epic fail android tablet ever.
No I wasn't joking I was giving my opinion of the tablet from what I have used or experienced with it. Just like you gave your OPINION! I have tried the dlna with my VAIO and it does work (LOL)but not on my PS3 so can not comment on that. I have a 32gb SD card in mine and can access all my files with a file manager app, so I have been able to listen to my music and watch my movies that are on my card without a problem. The remote app is very awesome and controls my TV, surround sound and DVR's in my living roomand bedroom. It might not be the tablet for you and maybe some others but to say epic fail.. for you maybe but not everyone.

Hey there I got the Sony Tablet S in Japan over the weekend, and it's a sweet little device. I've been burned by faulty iphones in the past, so I thought I'd try something different. I went for the 32gb option, but after installing and transferring podcasts and the whole works, it's not going to be enough! What app file manager are you using? ...Really glad I didn't go for the 16gb option.
I've had no problems with the remote control app, and really like the Android Utorrent remote access app. My only beef with it would be the slow rotating response time which gives a bit of a "cheap" feel to the interface, but overall it's a cool device!

I think the posts above cover this. You can not play video off the SD Card using the default Video player included with the tablet, but there are third party apps that you can downlod from the App Market that will play video from the SD card.
anyone have problem with the SD card keep getting remove? i have a kingston 16gb class 10 SDHC inserted, but after a few hours it say SD card removed... but the card is still clicked in the slot...
also which player is best for encoding rmvb videos? i tried a few, some are either lag, or is very blur...
one more question, which image viewer is best for pictures on SD card cause the "file transfer" app can only view picture one by one... cant swipe to next picture. i tried using astro file manager, i can swipe to next picture but it makes the pictures blurry.
Thanks heaps for your help, I'm off on a trip soon and wanna pack as many videos into an SD card as I can, and MX Player seems to do the trick (I got the free version for now but it's great enough). Cheers again for the tips!
Just on the video, I use Any Video Converter, and followed someone's advice to convert to a Motorola Zoom tablet. These settings work fine, but does anyone have any full details of the video specs so I can get the maximum resolution? Sorry about the questions, but the Japanese language manual I got was pretty damn short of information about the product itself...It's basically just a guide to the main features!
Does anyone know if you can hook a external hard drive up to this and play media directly from the external? I know you can with the SD Card, but wasnt sure if the USB port will allow it or not. I ask cause i have a 500gb External full of movies, tv shows and music, that i would rather carry as opposed to try and figure out what i might want to watch or listen to later, and then transfer them to a SD card.

I'm not sure about the SD issues that you are having because I haven't experienced any issues with mine. I'm using a 32gb SanDisk. The app I use for picture viewing is called Quick Pic and in the settings you can add the folder sdcard2 and it will access your pictures without transferring them.

I thought you can only stream from your phone to PC and not the other way round.
when i'm at home, i just use cifs manager to mount my windows shared folders.
this allows me to play (stream) the videos via wifi as if they were on my sd card
Try to use SimpleSync or Skifta. they seem to work

You could try Orb. Not sure what quality you'd get, not used it for a few years but if memory serves me right it transcodes on the fly to flash format so you can watch movies on your phone via a flash enabled browser. I used it for a bit on a wii before homebrewing it.

Hi
I'm currently running Night Elf kernal and it says that it supports NTFS.
I'm am also using USB Arc storage manager for OTG.
When I open Root explorer I can see files and play them off FAT32 flash drives....
....and I can see the same files on NTFS drives but I can not play them.
Any ideas why not?

Thanks, but he is using the full version... (I installed it on his phone myself, and if he was using the lite version then he wouldn't even be able to access the NTFS drive)
The issue is that while the Phone can detect NTFS partitions and even let you browse the files on the partition but the files are not playable.. (ie it wont let you play an AVI from the NTFS drive.. but the exact same AVI on a Fat32 drive is playable)

Sorry i didnt read that part

The fact the movies play off and SD card but not off a NTFS formatted hard drive suggests that the "res" the movies are in is not a factor.
Res is a factor
720p play fine o f my SD Card
When i played a 1080p it never loaded up , MoboPlayer crashed for me
Try copying those movies which dont play on NTFS drive to SD card and report back
I'm going to try and be polite and spell things out for you.
1) I have a file - lets call this file "x"
2) File "x" is on a micro SD card which I have inserted into a USB SD card reader
3) The SD card reader is plugged into the phones USB port via an OTG cable
4) When plugged in the phone can see the file sitting on the SD card in its folder and I can see it using Root explorer or ES explorer etc
5) When I select the file it plays perfectly
now here comes the bit you need to understand because I've explained all this before in my previous posts.....
When I plug the powered NTFS hard drive into exactly the same OTG cable I can......
1) See the file perfectly on the HDD
2) But I can not play it
ie - resolution does NOT make a difference here because its exactly the same file except that it does not play off an NTFS hard drive.
Thanks for your interest in the subject though - but please read the posts thoroughly and also try to make your comments constructive - short one liner suggestions are not helpful especially when it appears that you haven't read or understood the previous content.
Does the player support playing from ntfs, had something like this before from the media libs included with a player not being able to read the file.

Sorry there
I got confused a little in your earlier posts
I suggest you post your question here : Android Q&A
It'll broaden the scope of you getting answers
NTFS is a proprietary format of Microsoft, and SE is the competition.
i banged my head against this when i tried to play files from a NTFS external HDD plugged into the SE PS3 console's USB port. no way in hell i could make it work. i have to plug the HDD in the laptop and access it via LAN.
however, it seems strange that you can see the files correctly.
I guess we can read the files on ntfs because the kernel we are using supports ntfs.. Must be a limitation of the player.

Have you tried QQ player?
Not sure if it will work but it's what I use and even supports WMV files which are Microsoft proprietary files.. Perhaps it will also play from NTFS.. You have to open the application and scan for files tho.

Hi everyone, I'm new here so be nice
Just bought my phone today, and I'm having a few odd issues. I'm trying to transfer some .mkv files to my phone to play through moboplayer (one of the apps that I saw in the file transfer thread), but using the MediaGo program they won't transfer (an error stating "could not transcode" pops up, and when I click on the error it states no codec could be found, even though that shouldn't matter), and by using Windows Explorer to transfer them Explorer just crashes - which has never happened to me before with any program.
I've changed all the setting that I can find in MediaGo which should allow transfer, and still nothing. So, is there anything else I can do to get this working short of rooting the phone?
Thanks guys for your (hopefully impending and helpful ) help
Take a look at "My Phone Explorer", its a windows progam and a buddy app on your phone. Makes it really easy to push and pull files over wifi, usb or bluetooth.
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl

There is no function for charge only - usb debugging is in setup -> Programs -> Development.
Windows explorer is behaving strange for the moment - only hope is it will be fixed in a new upgrade (as far as I remember i did not have it on the .62 version). I backed up yesterday on wi-fi using X-plore on my phone - time consuming but worked.

I can't use WiFi unfortunately, as one of the campus terms and conditions is that you can't set up your own WiFi network.
It's the only problem I have with my phone really, although I tried torrenting an mkv file (that I own on my pc) using a torrent app and that works fine using mx player . I think I may be in love with this phone
I've not been having any issues transferring files to the device through Windows Explorer, however, i'm finding that files larger than 4GiB aren't accepted - it seems like the 25GiB Data partition on the internal storage is formatted FAT32... which seems a bit pointless to me.
Surely a Device with a 1280x720 screen and enough grunt to render 720p video should be able to accommodate large files on its data partition!?

I can confirm this problem with windows explorer and the XPS - this issue is with mkv files it seems, regardless of file size. It was really confusing when I was transferring my libraries over to the new phone and it just crashed winexplorer partway =(
MyPhoneExplorer did succeed in transferring the mkv file though, thanks.
But I'm sad to say that not everything plays well even with DICE player... the XPS still struggles with some 720p h264 mkv files. So might still have to convert whatever you want to watch with something like Handbrake =(

Hey guys,
Greeting to all!!!
Is there any issue like; only 4Gb of data can be transfered at a time in SXS...??
If yes, why is it so, and I would like to know if any remedy is there...?
Thanks in advance
No, it's a bit different. The internal memory is vfat, so you can't have files larger than 4GB.
It's a file system limitation.
solution: use smaller files
Does that mean, I can't copy any files, (kinda movies) which are above 4gb into my SXS....

Oh that really sucks!!!

I guess the only solution is a custom kernel with ntfs support and a usb stick formatted in ntfs.
For movies, if you have the time and Windows, you can just use MTP mode (the standard if you didn't change it), drag files onto the phone and Windows will recode them to a smaller resolution.
Although it's not perfect (e.g. multiple languages are not supported I think) it's definitely a workaround.
Or try to cut an HD movie in parts no larger than 4 GB.
if u dont want to watch the movie/video all the time (ie it doesnt need to be in ur phone).
buy a usb-otg cable, a UFD (i have 16 gB flashdisk), and use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729195

Encode it to something smaller. I have a bunch of HD 720p movies and none of them are over 4gb. Play great on my Xperia S. I use the AppleTV 2 preset in handbrake to encode them.
