Video files don't show up anymore.
« on: March 26, 2008, 09:52:00 PM »
Hi,

I installed Rockbox on my Sansa e260 and just love it. I even got movies running perfectly. Then I must have done something stupid. The movies are on the drive, right in the VIDEO directory, but Rockbox shows the dir is empty. I tried updating, autoupdating, and initializing the database. Any ideas?

version r16694-080

Thanks!
Tom

You must have changed the "Show Files" setting.  On the e200 you can hold the down button while in the file browser to go into the quick menu and change it from there.

Thanks Marc,

Right on the nose. I must have changed it from "all" to "supported" at some point. Works like a dream again.

Cheers!
Tom

Hi Tom,

Out of interest, what file extension do your video files have?

Hi pondlife,

The extension is "mpg". Should it be "mpeg" for it to show up as supported?

Best,
Tom

They should show up if they are named properly with an ".mpg" extension.

Is the folder they are in hidden? That would explain why it would have to be set to "all".
