Where are my video?

[Ragos]

I just downloaded and installed rockbox and its cool but i cant find my videos. Where are they?

[Llorean]

They're wherever you put them. I'm not sure how you could copy Rockbox compatible videos to your device, and not know where you've put them...

You did read how to use MpegPlayer right?

[Ragos]

i dont know what the hell i did i just put it onto my ipod all of my music is there but there is no folder and menu for videos.

[Llorean]

How did you put it onto your iPod?

[Ragos]

i put it in the main folder/directory what ever its vcalled i know i did that part right cause the themes and stuff show up just not videos.

[Llorean]

The .rockbox folder is hidden by default. You shouldn't put files you intend to play in it.

[Ragos]

i didnt put any files in there

[Llorean]

Then tell me exactly what you did.

Sounds like you are using the database and expect it to show the filetree ...

Please describe your problems descriptive. It's rather tedious to guess again and again only because you don't write more than "does not work" sentences.

I had the same problem on my Iriver H10. dont know what the problem was. I have a folder in my root directory labeled videos, I could brows it and its subfolders but the .mpg files wouldent show. I fixed it by resetting rockbox settings to default.

settings >> manage settings >> reset settings.

The reconfigure your themes after you check if your videos show up.
I still dont know what caused this but thats what I did to fix it on my player.

I still dont know what caused this but thats what I did to fix it on my player.

"Show Files" set to "Music" (or "Playlists") instead of "Supported" (or "All") I guess.

Maybe, its possible that I accidentaly changed that when poking through the settings on my first run of the os

ok well im trying to find out where my videos are. I was thinking maybe it would be in database but all that is in there is music. I: havent made any new folders or anything like that for my videos i added them by dragging them into itunes.

You can't get them onto your iPod by using iTunes.  Mpegplayer only supports mpegs which are not supported by the Apple firmware.  Conversely, Mpegplayer cannot play the videos that iTunes will transfer to your iPod.  In order to get supported videos onto your player just drag-and-drop them into the desired destination.
