Video playback issues

[gino34]

This doesn't make any sense to me at all. Last week I was able to watch youtube videos on my Incredible S using the stock video player. Now, when I click on a video it says "Sorry, this video cannot be played".


I downloaded Mobo Player to see if it can play them but can't locate where the videos are stored on my phone. Can someone tell me where videos are usually put? When I open up a file manager it's all Chinese to me. That's one thing I have to say I don't like about android.....trying to find a file or picture requires you have a programming degree.

Is is possible to search for videos or large files on my phone? I have no clue as to where TubeMate or my pc put the videos. I tried to transfer some clips from my pc to test out the video capabilities of my HTC Incredible S. I downloaded a 1080p video and have no idea where it is (along with all the others) on my sd card.

I don't understand why the videos won't work anymore. They all played with no problems before. I'm running android 2.3.3. (btw)

I have installed a bunch of new apps....would that have messed up something???

I installed Rock Player too but it needs me to locate the folder where the videos are at. Where the hell are videos stored on an android phone??? I know photos are in the DCIM folder...but for the life of me I can't find video files anywhere!

HELP!!

Alright....I think I gave up on this and stumbled upon another way.


I downloaded "KeepVid" and it works like a charm. Tested it out and videos play back with no problems. I honestly don't know what happened to the old videos I put on my phone. They were working at one point and now they don't even appear once I launch the Video player. Really weird.

Next time I decide to copy some videos from my pc to my phone I'll make sure I create a folder so I know where they're going this time.


I was really hoping that someone could shed some light on this but I guess not.

Thanks for those who read my post anyhow.
