N96 Video Centre

Has anybody encountered this problem yet: Video Centre stops adding new videos that have been put in the "My Videos" folder? Several videos that I've moved there in the last couple of days don't appear in Video Centre, they visible in the My Videos folder looking from File Manager, but not in the Video Centre app itself.
There seems to be no way to 'refresh' the lists as there is in the Music Player. Does anybody know an easy solution to try before resorting to the 'back up and reformat' rountine? Any dealing with mass memory (especially content copier) seem to take ages so I'd prefer to try other options first if there are any!

You gave me food for thought. It's good to know where the file list is hidden...
Before the problem began, there were the following items in Video Centre:
(1) All preinstalled content (video ringtones, Transformers, Nokia stuff etc.) in mass memory.
(2) Some TV programme episodes that I had put in My Videos to show off (MP4s converted from AVIs), again in mass memory, some in the My videos folder and some in a sub-folder of My videos that I created.
(3) a collection of GP and MP4 stuff on my 4Gb card carried over from my previous phone.
The problem came to light just before I made this thread. I moved some new files (mainly 3GP but one MP4) into My videos, but Video Centre didn't pick them up.
When I changed the database file as you suggested and started Video Centre again, created a new DB file but missed all of the memory card content and the extra stuff recently added.
When I checked, the memory card content was not in the My videos folder but in Video clips, so I moved them and hey presto! Video Centre found them. Perhaps it had been picking up files from all storage instead of just My videos (I have known this happen on the N82), but that the recent update to v11 fixed that?
Further test - the 'new' 3GPs in mass storage were not in My videos during the previous test because I'd moved them around various places when I was previously trying to trace the fault. I moved 7 'new' 3GP files back to My videos in mass storage, but only four of them appeared in Video Centre. To test another theory, I created a folder in My videos called X and put the seven 3GPs into it and the next time I started Video Centre none of these files appeared. Moving them back to My videos and again four appeared. It still finds the videos originally put into a sub-folder of My videos but not those moved to the new sub-folder.
So there is definitely something still going amiss, because the issue doesn't seem to be isolated to either mass memory or memory card, so maybe more experimenting will reveal more, but it's Saturday night and there are more important things...

  • N96 Video centre not opening

    Hi
    Everytime I try to open video centre, it starts to open, but then goes straight back to the main menu. Can anyone help?
    I have tried closing all other apps, turning off and on etc.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'd format your memory card and try again.
    I had similar problem but with the multimedia key not working and it turned out to be the "settings" on my memory card that were carried over form my N95... I had to do an octopus reset to fix the problem.

  • N96 video

    Hi.I was format my n96 and all of my video are deleting.Is there any body to send the videos for memp4)

    Unfortunately I can't help you with the Travel video because I deleted it among other things that were taking up space on the phone. You can however download more Nokia videos by using the video centre.
    Goto Video Centre>Video feeds>More Feeds>Nokia Videos. While you are in Video Feeds you may also find other videos to yout liking. You could also rip your favourite DVD and save it to your phone.

  • Getting videos to appear in the Video Centre. What...

    I've put a video on my phone in My Videos, then My Videos/Downloads and it's not appearing in the Video Centre. I can open it from the File Manager fine. What directory does the Video Centre look in for files? I mainly ask because in the past when a video's in the Video Centre, the handset seems to grab licences automatically (it's an iPlayer file) but from the File Manager it does not do so.
    Thanks in advance, I'm sure I'm being dense.
    Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

    I should add, it was copied in mass storage mode. Maybe I used MTP before.

  • Issue with nokia E5 video centre

    I haven't ever used video centre before and yesterday I found a problem which is: when I open Menu>Media>Video Centre its opening and after 2 sec it automatically closes going back to Media menu again. Could anyone tell me why it is like that or how to solve it?

    Hi kishor12345,
    To further verify, are you using the internet browser when trying to access the Skype? If so, have you tried browsing the other website wherein you need to sign in your account first before you can proceed? In case that you are using mobile data, please use Wi-Fi connection instead. You may also restart your phone by switching the phone off, take the battery out, put it back in after a few seconds and switch your phone on.
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • Video centre on N95 rocks!

    Some of the new features on N95 are really cool.the video centre in applications has links to you tube, reuters etc with crystal clear videos,hope the future DVB-H based TV services have the same clarity

    I converted 2 videos :-
    1 at 330MB
    1 at 541MB
    300MB file worked ok and didnt crash Vid Centre.
    541MB didn't work.
    I tried start Vid Centre and play the movie over and over, and eventually one of the movies that didn't work, did work and Vid Centre did not crash. Moved another movie in there and Vid Centre crashed again, however, I couldn't get it to play no matter how many times I tried to play the movie.
    I give up on this, with no reply from Nokia either.
    I'm using Smart Movie to play straight from AVI, that has a resume functionality but only on the current video, not a big deal I guess.
    Hope this gets fixed in the next firmware, but it seems not many people have this issue which means Nokia may not put too much time and effort into investigating and fixing this bug.Message Edited by hongsit on 11-Dec-200701:37 PM

  • N95 8GB Video Centre Shutting Down

    My problem with my N95 8GB, the video centre application automatically closes itself after a few seconds when I open it.
    The video centre work fine when it was brand new but as soon as I put my Sim Card in, I started to have problems.
    I would really appreciate some help on this issue as it is driving me crazy
    Many thanks,
    s

    The workaround is to load a JPG PNG or GIF picture icon (small file 90 KB), named EXACTLY the same as the videos in the My Videos folder where the videos are stored (or where ever the videos from video center are stored)

  • Anyone been able to use Video feeds in Video Centr...

    Has anyone been able to use the Video Feeds in Video Centre?,
    I can see Reuters and other that are downloaded but the ones that are streamed (youtube, CNN, Jamster, Inside Sony Pictures, etc.) if I use them over WLAN they time out or don't play.
    Some play over EGPRS, but the others I get a message 'Not enough bandwidth'
    I don't have 3G so I can't test if it's working over 3G. Has anybody been successful in using them over WLAN?
    640K Should be enough for everybody
    El_Loco Nokia Video Blog

    Well, since my original post I've gotten 3G and I can confirm that they work on 3G.
    Too bad that some feeds don't get any updates
    Sony Pictures in particular has the same content since it launched

  • Nokia 5800xm V50 Video Centre

    Hi,I have recently updated to V50 on my Nokia 5800xm and I have a query about video centre.When I open video centre it doesnt find my downloaded BBC Iplayer videos.It finds all my personal and imported films but not the Iplayer downloads.
    Previous to updating no problems.
    I can watch them in the realplayer app but this doesn`t remember the last viewed position in the video.
    Anything I`m doing wrong or can do o resolve this?
    Thanks.

    When I download iPlayer video I go to file manager after download, select the downloaded video, select option-organize-move to folder-select E-select Video- go back back and back so download is showing again, then option-delete reply will be file not found. It should now show in vdeo list !!
    Good Luck

  • N96 Video malfunction issue

    Ok, I've had my N96 for 3 weeks now. Definite love hate relationship! Sure, the fone has a few bugs and can be slow at times but the real problem I have is with the video playback. I have uploaded videos (mp4 format) to the fone but several of these videos will not play or will just play the sound and tell me that it can only partially play the clip. The videos that do upload successfully sometimes freeze or skip too which is really frustrating when trying to demonstrate to people that this fone is as good as all the hype! Also uploading full length movies is a problem.
    I never had any difficulties with the N958gb when using the video function and movies I installed ran smoothly without any glitches or slowdown.
    I am aware that there will soon be a new firmware upgrade (I have a vodaphone branded handset) but several people I have heard from still report these same faults.
    Does anyone have any suggestions which don't include replacing my handset?!?!?!
    Thanks ITG ;-)

    You probably have a airtime provider branded phone - check the firmware
    *#0000#
    this will tell you the firmware you are on and any "custom version no"
    all the version 10 firmwares have major problems and even worse if they are airtime provider branded and crippled. Problem is getting the 11 release firmware wont work due to product code locking .. and even if you get your device unlocked by the airtime provider nokia wont update the firmware ( the software downloaded certainly wont work but even repair centres wont do it)
    Data transfer is heavily bugged until the new firmware - FORTUNATELY it works beautifully once its updated - so you have a choice put up with it not makign calls locking up and not playing music / video properly until the airtime provider releases a decent update or go back to a n95.
    The larger files die and corrupt as the data transfer routines in the firmware "seem" to have a memory leak ( check out the symbion forums) which slows the transfer down to the point of non completion and or corrupts data in transit.
    To be fair it is a new here and the problems aren't nokias they are the vendor crippling .
    Sorry I couldn't help more but I am trying hard to get nokia firmware on a vodafone crippled N96 currently - if is success I will post how / where to do it -- I will prolly host the files on one of my ftp servers so we can all get to use phone -- but thats ONCE i get it to work.

  • N96 Video Camera Mode - Noise Movies

    Dear All,
    I love my phone so far, but I'm bit disapointed with the audio of the movies that I can make with my phone, I had a 5300 and the audio quality was better.
    I have TOO MUCH noise, even when I somehow try to close the mic. Even doing that I can still get sound...
    Looks like the mic volume is TOO HIGH, and I can not adjust it.
    Anybody have the same problem?
    Any tip or trick?
    Regards
    Juliano

    N96 16GB

    I have this same problem but with some added caveats...
    If I copy the recorded video to my computer and play it from there then there is no noise i.e. it only occurs when playing through the N96.
    Also, I get the same really annoying loud hissing when playing games through N-Gage. The only 2 I have installed so far are Tetris and Reset-Generation - It happens with both of these unles I turn the sound off in-game.
    Was wondering if you chaps have the same extra issues or if it's just limited to recorded videos.
    I spoke to Three "Technical" support yesterday who have given me the name/number of a local repair centre to go and get the handset checked, but I'm thinking it's more likely to be a firmware issue, as I'm on Three UK and the software version is still 10.065, with Three not able to tell me when/if they'll release an update (tempted to change product code & update anyway - invalidating warranty I know).
    Other than that, after having had the phone over the weekend I'm pretty chuffed with it (speed has improved since I first got it), other than the battery, but then if I do run GPS, 3G and BBC iPlayer at the same time for a few hours it's to do be expected!
    Any thoughts on the audio thing? Same issues for you guys or am I on my own?
    Cheers.

  • N96 Video Ringtones NOT working

    This is really annoying me, it´s impossible to make the video ring tones working in my N96 (no branded). I select it but when receiving calls the nokia default tone rings and nothing happens...
    Anyone out there has this working?

    works on mine, i think the phone has a time out in place, if the vid is to big it cannot load it in time and so plays the back source.....the default, sometimes you may be doing something demanding and so it might make the phone laggy and so not enough power is needed to load the vid in time and so doing the same a above !

  • N96 video ringtone problem

    I bougth the n95 yesterday and I already did the 11.0 update. There is a problem with the ringtones though. If I set a video ringtone in my general profile and someone from my contacts call me, it rings with the default ringtone and does not used the one I set. Anyone else experiences this?

    WORKING VIDEO RINGTONE:
    I managed to get video ringtones working by encoding to mp4 and making sure the resolution was small enough to fit the normal vertical screen size...
    (btw the video i used was: MPEG4, 8.14 MB, 240x160, 15fps, AAC 64bit)
    Though the only problem is it only runs for about 10 seconds or so ...
    Il update if this is fixed ....
