Motorola Motocast :: "Requested File Could Not Be Played"
Feb 28, 2012
I've gone into MyMotoCast and played the music that way, as well as the Music app (looks like headphones), but for some reason through MotoCast it isn't working. I know it can't have anything to do with my purchasing the music through iTunes because the I've tried both iTunes purchased music as well as CDs that were uploaded.
I find that some AC3 formatted files can be played while others give me an error about needing an AC3 filter. I find this generally on the higher bitrate videos. For example one is ac3 @ 192k and it plays just fine while another is 640k and says i need an ac3 filter. to play any obviously ffdshow is installed and working to play any ac3. I am confused, I have mainly avi and mkv files.
When i convert video to mp4 mode and sync it to my atrix it won't play. It saids file cannot be displayed or played. i have tried couple mp4, the h264, mpeg-4, all doesn't play in my phone.
I have several MP4 encoded movie files that played perfectly with my DX but won't play with the default Video Player app on my DX2. It gives me the error: File cannot be displayed or played.MoboPlayer, a third party video player, will play the files fine. QuickPic's player will not. Nor will the bundled app RockPlayer Lite.I reformatted the SD card within the DX2 (it was the same 16 GB card that I took from my DX) before I transferred any video files to it.Anyone have any ideas about what I can try? I would rather use the default Video Player app.Also, the playback using MoboPlayer seems a bit choppy. I was expecting much smoother playback on the DX2 with it's dual core processor and improved graphics accelerator hardware.
I have an album I downloaded from the web on my computer. When I open Windows Media Player or iTunes it is in there. However, it is not showing up in my Motocast list on my computer. Is there a way to upload it to Motocast? Also, I have noticed some duplicate songs, just in Motocast. Do I just have to delete them one at a time?
After downloading a file to my phone and now I would like to remove it without removing it from my computer. How would I do this, I think it is simple but then?
I'd like to have some sample videos on my phone to show clients and potential clients, but a short test video I converted into mp4 gets an error message "File cannot be displayed or played".The file is not large nor long - 848x480,18MB, 1 minute 48 sec.compressed via Sorensen Squeeze v6 with MainConcept H264 codec at 1388kbps.
I've been noticing my videos will not save properly after I record something. It doesn't happen with every video and I can't seem to replicate the problem at this time. I can shoot consecutive clips and one may save properly and the other will not save. When I go to my film strip, an icon will hold the spot of where the file should be. When I click on it, I get an error message reading, "File cannot be displayed or played."
I have it set up on my PC where I have 3 folders shared. I have a Movies folder, I have a TV Shows folder, and I have a Mixsets folder. I like to listen to DJ mixsets that can be rather large, anywhere from 50MB to 150MB in size. I can access my movies/tv shows off my PC at home just fine when I'm on a wireless network. I just go into Gallery>MotoCast and there i have my TV shows in one folder and Movies in another folder. The folder I named Dj Mixsets does not show up in either Gallery or Music app.That's fine cause when I go to the Files app, I can see all three folders on my PC. From there, I can still access my TV Shows and Movies just fine. But when I try to listen to any of the mixsets, it says Cannot connect to network, please try again. This is weird cause the Droid shows my home PC as "Online". Is it because the music files are really large that it won't play? MotoCast can play larger size video files no problem.
Motocast app was preloaded on new razr. I manually loaded motocast software on desktop and laptop. Motocast working great for getting pictures to and from desktop & laptop. I called tech suppoirt for email problem and was told to update my device to the latest OS. I did this and after rebooting device, there was no motocast app/logo and no USB selection window. I now can not download pics and can only upload files from my desktop and laptop.
Droid Razr; using MotoCast Wireless. XP computer is on all the time, no trouble connecting. Music, photos and documents all present and available all the time.But my iTunes playlists are not. Major bummer. MotoCast playback quality is far superior to G-music, but I really need my playlists!Itunes data folders are all in the normal places. The MotoCast docs clearly say that iTunes playlists are usable and in one place says expressly, "Note: Currently MotoCast Wireless supports playlists from iTunes only."
After updating to ics motocast wants to install on my pc and does not give me an option to say no and not have it show again, like the vista start screen. I decided to install motocast and just ignore it but when I rebooted it started my browser with a video for backup assistant after looking thru msconfig and regedit I believe this program to be malware like microsoft security 2012 or many other softwares that use extortion to sell their product. I am not questioning the validity of the backup software but rather the way it like motocast doesn't give me an option. When I called Verizon they said it was a Motorola problem so can someone please tell me how to get this MALWARE from loading! I did get the browser to stop loading after removing all of motocast via add/remove.
A family member has a new Motorola Droid Razr, and we are trying to get MotoCast USB to work. We have installed the software on the computer (a Macbook Pro) and skipped the wireless setup (because we are only interested in USB syncing at this time). But when we connect the phone, all we get is a message, "Please wait while MotoCast USB loads your content."
Motorola, since it is clear we are not getting an explanation of what happened, I think it is reasonable to request a change log. Since it appears to have been a mistake Verizon has not put anything on their site. It is making it difficult for those of us that got it to know what we are supposed to have and exactly what may have been removed. It does not appear to be the same as what the M and HDs got.
I downloaded a tetris app, but i can't seem to activate it to play, when i view the downloaded apps and touch it, it opens up a screen with choice like uninstall but does not play.
How do I change the order the music is played in? When I sync a playlist from iTunes, the music does not play in order. I can't seem to figure out what order it IS playing. No where do I see playlist options.
Bionic - just updated to the 1.1.2 version of the anddroid app from the market.Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit as my home server with the newest version of the desktop app loaded.Any time i get a text message, email or any other sound based notification on my phone 90% of the time the song that was playing does not continue after the notification sound is played. i have to unlock my phone and hit the play to continue listening to music. Songs are also cutting out/off more frequently this morning - but i see there are service issues.
Using the stock File Manager app I can see audio files on my Maxx HD's internal storage and also on the SD card. I happen to be looking at ringtone files. If I tap on the filename to play the ringtone, Amazon Cloudplayer pops up and shows all the music files on my SD card. No ringtones can be found. If I back out of Amazon Cloudplayer and use the file manager to try finding and playing ANY audio file on EITHER my SD card or the internal storage I get sent to Amazon Cloudplayer. I then have to use the back button to get back to the file manager icon in the App drawer. Same thing happens if I try to play audio files on my SD card. Amazon Cloud Player pops up. I don't want to use Amazon Cloud Player to play an audio file in SD storage.
If I connect my phone to my PC and navigate to the ringtones on internal storage and click on them they play as per usual (Windows media player). If I use my PC to play audio files on the SD card they play as usual.Why does my phone default to Amazon Cloud Player when I tap on an audio file in File Manager? What is the stock audio file player on the Maxx HD? Why can't I browse to an audio file with the file manager and tap on it and have it play? How do I fix this?
There is a lot to like about the tablet, but some features I'm disappointed in. I was looking at the "supported devices" page for the Motocast USB software and it does not include this tablet. At the bottom of the page, it also says "MotoCast USB software works with most but not all of Motorola's Android devices." Is it possible to use it on the FE?
I just got my Droid Razr yesterday. I was able to connect it to my PC (windows XP) via USB and transfer some songs. But I cannot set up Motocast wireless, however. Every time I try, it checks for a wireless connection, then goes to a set up Motocast wireless screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds, then the programs just exits.
I have read through the forum, and based on some other recommendations I saw there, I unistalled Java, and went to java.com and downloaded the latest version. I have disabled my Windows Firewall, and stopped Real Time Protection on my Microsoft Security Essentials. I also unistalled the Motocast program, which had first loaded from my phone, and downloaded Motocast from [URL]
Ok, I have scoured the forums and tried everything, but cannot get my MOTOACTV or my BIONIC to be detected by my PC. I'd like to update the MOTOACTV, Steps taken so far:Unistall MOTOCAST ( ver 2.0.23), shut down PC, re-installfactory reset on MOTOACTV Unistall MOTOCAST ( ver 2.0.23), shut down PC, re-install as administratorMOTOACTV is basically factory except for some golf course downloads.I dont show any MOTO devices under mt device manager network connecttions.Also, I have confirmed that the Motorola device manager service is running and evan restarted it.
I have connected my razr maxx and successfully transferred tunes. I am presented with options to sync music, photos, videos and podcasts. I am not presented with contacts.I wish to sync with Outlook. I have installed MotoCast USB and it states, when I click it that Contacts sync account for Windows is active.
Can use Motocast just fine thru my phone and web browser with my home computer (mymotocast.com).
Trying to setup the MotoActv account on my Droid RAZR and it's giving me "Invalid Credentials" when entering my Motocast ID. When I go to www.motoactv.com I get the same "Invalid Credentials" error as well.
If my Motocast ID works for the mymotocast website shouldnt it also work for the motoactv site?
I have a motoactv. The installation was ok. Everything was going fine, until I tryed to create my MOTOCAST ID. I am connected to the internet, but I always get this kind of message: "the device was not able to connect to the server. Try again in a few minutes."
Is it possible to have multiple PCs on the same phone? We have two computers and I would like to have access to both but didn't know if this was possible. I thought I would ask first before I tried setting up the second PC.
I can access my NAS drive through my desktop PC using motocast but I want to access the NAS when the desktop is swithced off.I add server using FILES app.I have tried all addresses including router ip and other numerical addresses that are used and recognised by windows.It always asks for a password even though the only password I use on this device is the admin one to access the GUI of the router.Windows XP has no problem accessing this drive without a password or login, in fact it very easily appears in MY NETWORK PLACES.
