im gonna try and put a symlink inside the /private/var/media folder to the downloads folder


update: i created the symlink in winscp inside /private/var/mdeia to /var/mobile/library/downloads
and it worked perfecty!

i downloaded an avi using safari download plugin and it worked flawlessly

[stlcaddie]

can you give a guide for that symlink....thanks

Cant seem to get this to work

Downloaded it. WINSCP'ed 3 *.rm files into the created /private]var/Media folder. Rebooted the phone. Opened up MPlayer, except no files appear

Can anyone shed some light please

[z3r01]

using winscp , browse to private/var/media and rightclick and select new symlink, then name it download and in the second box type /var/root/mobile/library/downloads and that's it, as for donners, I haven't tried that duke extension , will try in a minute

Thanx button in advance

Make sure the "media" directory is lowercase - I had mine set to "Media" and couldn't see any files either.

[z3r01]

yea , also when you tap on the screen , it kinda goes on this wierd frame skip thing , bad stuff, I'm guessing that's like a manual sync thing but I'm not too sure

A good start but it need some work. Tried a avi and i get a new frame every 15-20 seconds.

The only thing I wanted to play was Dattebayo's Bleach episodes. They use h264 encoding in an avi container. Neither vlc4iphone nor mPlayer can decode video, though there is sound playing in mPlayer

thats strange, i ran a similar file and it ran but i got sound sync problems...maybe its ur file?

[beatoven]

I don't think so. It's not just one file. It's all the new Bleach episodes since DB started using h264. I get sound sync issues as well. If I pause the movie I get one frame. That's all. And if I keep trying to press buttons, I end up with a crash.

ok I created a folder called 'videos' under root and put a few vid files in there. I then ran the following command in the terminal:-

ln -s /private/var/root/videos /private/var/media

I verified that is was created successfully by:-

harvey:/private/var/media root# ls -l
total 15176
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 15534908 Sep 6 15:42 Godskitchen Video.mp4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 Nov 1 10:10 videos -> /private/var/root/videos/

However I still only see the one video that actually sits in the /private/var/media folder. Any idea guys?

[crashspeeder]

I noticed that this really doesn't get along too well with .mov files created by cycorder. I created a symlink to where cycorder stores its videos and I can hear them but I can't see them. bummer.
